Oh, to see without my eyes The first time that you kissed me Boundless by the time I cried I built your walls around me Rafe Cameron / OC Outerbanks © nyraswife cover by @-reflectiions

Charlotte Devereaux was raised to be perfect, perfect daughter, perfect ballerina, perfect pawn. But when tragedy rips through her life, the girl who once danced under the spotlight finds herself shackled and lost to even herself, forced into a marriage she never asked for, bound to a boy everyone swears is a monster. __ Rafe Cameron has demons that don't stay buried. Coke on his tongue, blood on his knuckles, he's destruction wrapped in a Kook's designer shirt. But beneath the ruin is something raw, something even he doesn't recognize until Charlotte collides into his orbit: a flicker of hope, a chance to be more than the devil he's become. There are no saints here. Only sinners, survivors, and the ones reckless and stupid enough to love anyway. _ "Maybe we're both lost," he says, voice softer than I've ever heard it. I don't need saving. And I sure as hell don't need him. So why does it feel like he's the only one who really sees me? _ Arranged Marriage trope. A Rafe Cameron Fanfic. No -Gold- plot.

Even grainy old Facebook photos from his high school and college days, dug up by strangers online, managed to capture a fraction of that intensity, leaving people around the world inexplicably drawn to him. And up close? It was overwhelming. At first at least. Before you got used to it. If you ever really did? Now, sitting next to him and your family ready to board a jet, was hardly the time to unpack whatever that meant. But a summer in Italy, long days at the beach and drinking endless glasses of wine, together with quite possibly the most breathtaking man you had ever laid eyes on? Well... it certainly couldn't hurt. Right? "Luigi, are you coming?" He turned away from the window at the sound of his name, a smile spreading across his face. Wide, bright, and brimming with that unmistakable spark of excitement. "Can't wait," he grinned, beaming from ear to ear. (All smut chapters are marked with 🔥 in the chapter index)
