They were never supposed to cross the line. Taylor had always been part of the Cameron world - pool days, late nights, inside jokes, and a friendship that felt unbreakable. Rafe Cameron was just... Rafe. Complicated. Reckless. Familiar. One kiss changes everything. What starts as stolen looks and quiet moments turns into something dangerous - secret nights, unspoken rules, and a connection neither of them are brave enough to name. He says it's casual. She tells herself it is too. But feelings don't care about rules. And in a small town like OBX, some secrets don't stay hidden forever.

The wrong kind of lesson. Raven is just a normal teenage girl. Okay, maybe not so normal. Let's say she's your average 18-year-old... with a slight obsession with her classmate Carter. And by slight, we mean staring at his pictures for over an hour a day - without ever having the courage to comment on them, let alone actually talk to him. When it finally seems like she might have a real chance with him - a shot at an actual relationship - there's only one tiny problem: her total lack of experience with guys. She's 18 and has never had a boyfriend. Don't even mention kissing. That's when the school's bad boy makes her an offer she never saw coming: sex lessons. Can she keep her heart from falling for him in the process? This isn't your typical bad boy cliché. And yes - we actually like Carter, lol. Prepare yourself for drama, chaos, emotional rollercoasters, and plenty of moments that will make you laugh, cry, and scream.

And you don't know what I do. So I can easily kill you with this." Then out of the blue he pulled out a gun. A fuckin gun. My eyes grew huge and held the knife tighter. "Get out." I hissed. He smirked then place the gun next to my head. "Now why would I want to leave?" "Because it's my house and I'm kicking you out." Then I placed the knife on his stomach. He looked down and then looked back at me. His smirk grew bigger. "Want to play that game?"... *highest rank so far- number 3 (08-23-17)* *needs tissues and torches later on* *Mature theme* *Cussing*

"Well, well, well. Who do we got here?" An annoying voice mocked me. I clenched my teeth and faced him with a glare, while his eyes raked my whole body. Again. He stopped in my thighs, his eyes widening a little. I couldn't help but pity myself. Surely he's never seen legs like mine, with his sex crimes he's probably used to seeing long, thin, sexy legs, while mine are short, strong, but stubby. "What do you want?" I snarled. His eyes came back to mine, and he smirked."Chill ThunderThighs." I gave him a mean look, is he seriously insulting me right now ? ☆☆☆☆ Disclaimer:I'm still editing the first few chapters but i promise you it gets better:)
