This is the story of Naomi and Sebastian. She’s half Japanese and he was born in Tokyo. They end up at the same college where he is the star quarterback. Naomi is a cheerleader. He takes a bet from Reina who is from another duet. He’s to woo Naomi into losing her v card to him. On the side Naomi has a quasi relationship with her Japanese pen pal Akira. These letters are a thread throughout the duet. Sebastian and Naomi get in to each other pretty fast and they discover they both have the chase and rape kink. It’s consensual/ they have a safe word. He likes to chase her through the dark Forrest and she likes it. They do this a lot through book 1. While a lot of mean girl Stuff goes on with the other cheerleaders. Naomi is also searching for her sperm donor dad. Eventually she finds out about the bet and is furious. Then they get kidnapped and the book ends on a cliffhanger.
