I had no intention of putting in smut until the end. So don't expect this book to have intense mature scenes. But there is towards the end. You will also notice the use of these * that are for censored words. Like I said at the time I didn't mark my book off as mature yet so I didn't want to get flagged. It remained that way throughout the whole book just to keep it consistent. Just to emphasize ‼️LITTLE TO NO SMUT‼️
