#1 Southeastern University Series Natosha Jackson is from the south-side slums of Ridgeport. She's your average bookworm and mathematic fanatic. To pay her dues to the dean of students, she is hand-picked to tutor one of the most notorious football players at Southeastern University, Matteo Four Wittstock. In the town of Ridgeport, the Wittstocks are well-known wealthy people from the north side. Although Natosha wants nothing to do with Four's lifestyle and womanizing tendencies, she finds herself falling into the temptations of lust. While she wrestles with this new fiery excitement in her life, Four becomes enamored deeper than he ever imagined.

It was like a game in the house. You were the player who so desperately needed to win, and they were the opponents who wanted to keep you in the same position-to watch you squirm as you tried to beat each one of them and make it to the prize. The prize was ultimately untouchable, regardless if you finished the game or not, he wasn't one to be easily won over. You knew you had to end this game sooner or later because each level that you passed, you wanted the prize more and more. So with your heart set on one thing, you came closer to the finale of this battle. Each boy is a level. The more you pass, the more you rank higher in ending everything. You only hope you have enough time to claim your prize before another player steals him away. ◈•••••••‧͙⁺˚*･༓♛༓･*˚⁺‧͙•••••••◈ 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝟕𝟎𝟎𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬 🔞 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: • ᴀʙᴜꜱᴇ • ᴀɴɢꜱᴛ • ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ • ꜱᴇxᴜᴀʟ ᴀꜱꜱᴀᴜʟᴛ • ᴠɪᴏʟᴇɴᴄᴇ 𝐎𝐓𝟕 (𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬) 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 ✓
