Victoria has a complicated history with Rafe, her best friend Sarah's older brother. Four years ago, they dated in secret. They were young. It didn't last. But it happened. And no one knows about it... except Victoria and Rafe. Since then, everything's been twisted. Almost a year ago, she slept with him again. He was her first, then and now, and despite everything, part of her still wants him. But with Sarah in the middle and Rafe's reckless, dangerous reputation, Victoria made the only choice she could: stay away. So what happens when you try not to fall for the one person you already fell for, the one who's always been just a little too close? #smutwarning 💋 This is a short story🫶🏼
