A/N: I have amazing readers and reviewers who answer my questions and also give me suggestions, I am truly honored. Violet1429 was the first to answer not one but two of the thoughts I had in mind. Dangerous Woman wasn't going to be the name for the story at all, it was going to be Beautiful Liar. But that changed because I felt like DW tackled more of the subject I wanted in the story. Twenty plus chapters won't prioritize Riley trying to break Lucas, they will prioritize Riley and Lucas slowly falling into the love spectrum and obstacles trying to get in the way of that. But with falling into that specific dynamic Riley has to be careful, she has to lie, which leads to our own Beautiful Liar. So let's congratulate Violet and the other reviewers (hopefully you're reading) for knowing my intentions. This effort is not left unnoticed. I would also like to announce this ahead of time: in order to get a story through, Riley and Lucas won't always be this cuddly and romantic with each other. Riley is still very much into breaking his heart...and let's not forget one of our mains, Tyler, who still exists. =)

Violet1429: You are truly an amazing reader. Thank you so much for answering and just reading in general, I truly appreciate it.

hopewings6: Your money should slowly go to Riley.

naelacy: You're jumping ahead into future chapters. But I'm proud you said that. Riley will not only be lying to Lucas in this story. Farkle is important in this mess because of what he knows. And his importance to this story will be revealed in later chapters. I guess, in a really subtle, almost impossible way, he's the reason Riley says something to Lucas. Keep that in mind. ;)

volleyballer82: You're close, but thank you for reading.

Siennese: Riley is affecting Lucas is a way he can't figure out, which drives his crazy for some parts. He slowly starts realizing why she has this effect on him. And Riley knows what she's doing, what she doesn't know is that she slowly starts feeling for him. You just have to bare with me. I guess, all I ask from my readers is patience. These next ten chapters will certainly be filled with the most drama.

No: Sex will definitely be talked about in this story, especially with Riley and Lucas. And if it ever gets to that level of romance, the story won't change to an M-rating because I will NOT include smut. Just a heads up.

RucasLover24: I also don't mind the Rucas kissing, in fact, I don't mind it that it will continue to happen throughout the story. ;) And you gotta find the time to give me a long review, =) But I appreciate the time you take to give me one. Thank you so much.

Friartale: Ahhh yes. The great moment Rucas will soon share. Again, if you're reading this or any of my readers, as a writer I want to branch out, I don't just want to be independent. So what I normally do is talk to other people on this site, some I know personally other's we handle it throughout FF. I can't take all the credit for the work that is put into this, so again, thanks for the help.

Riley's mouth fell open at the yacht in front of her. Lucas stood on top of it and spread his arms as if he had it all. Adding a slight curve to his lips, his broad shoulders flexed along with his washboard abs. Riley would be lying if she said she didn't find Lucas attractive at the moment.

"I'm gonna drive this baby around the lake, you guys in?"

She walked towards the dock and stepped onto the boat, "You brought a yacht? Other's would've brought a boat."

"Well," he was in front of her at this time, "I do like to impress."

Maya got on the boat and Zay followed, "C'mon. Start driving."

Tyler walked out from inside the boat and smiled, "You girls look good."

"Thank you," Riley responded. She removed her clothes and modeled a black, one piece bikini with her back fully exposed. She smirked at Lucas and approached Tyler.

And the games have begun...

Their lips met instantaneously and Riley felt herself kissing back. Lucas was amused with this as he fought with her for dominance, sending them into a voracious kiss. When Lucas pulled her closer, Riley felt the bulge in his swim shorts and in returned she settled her hand on his neck.

His hands went down to her hips, then slowly running to her ass. Pressing himself against her, Lucas groaned at the friction created by his move. Riley suppressed her moan and tilted her head to get deeper into the kiss. Grasping her, Lucas picked her up and settled her down as he climbed on top of her. The kiss could've lasted, but feeling his bulge growing, Riley stopped him. "Wait."

He rested his forehead against hers, slowly breathing, "What is it?"

"We can't do this."

"Sex?"

"What else?" she pushed him off of her. As she stood up, she could feel her knees go weak but she remained up. "C'mon, we don't wanna leave the rest out on that boat."

"Yacht," Lucas informed.

"Whatever. C'mon," Swinging her hips, with a smirk on her lips, Riley walked straight to the jet ski.

Not bad, Friar, not bad.

Dangerous Woman

Lucas wasn't pleased.

He was, although, pleased when Riley let him kiss. He gave her the impression that he wanted to go further multiple times but she wouldn't let him. His hands would intentionally run down to her hips and then skim to her lower back, but as he would go lower, she'd bring them back up to her back again. He'd be lying if he told himself he didn't mind it but inside, underneath all the fuckboi, he was a little indignant. Riley was gorgeous and nothing like her was in his interests, but to him, she was the exception. She seemed different and Lucas really liked that about her.

Riley ended the kiss and left the office. Confused, Lucas went after her but stopped when he saw Riley tug on Tyler's shirt and lead him to the dance floor. Tyler was imprecise at first but then smirked when his friends started 'oohing' and whistling.

Riley sent a wink in Lucas way and just like that; he was pissed. He'd never been jealous before and he hated the feeling. Lucas didn't even want to brand his feeling as jealousy, he was just mad at Tyler.

Throughout the years he's known him, Lucas was the hotter one. That's how he acknowledged himself. Like Tyler was inferior to him. But then Riley came along, and made him think otherwise.

In fact, as Tyler smiled at Riley, Lucas's balled his hands into fists. He hadn't felt this angry in the longest time and knowing Riley was the reason angered him even more.

He watched them dance until the song ended. He followed her in the direction she went and quickly caught up to her. "What the hell was that?" He pulled her in order to face him.

It was simple. Riley thought. I kiss him, leave him wanting more, and dance with his best friend.

She tried her best to get Lucas jealous, but instead, she got a completely different reaction.

Not getting an answer, Lucas grabbed onto her wrist but Riley wasn't happy with that.

She slapped his hand away, "Grab me like that one more time and I will bitch slap you." Her anger soon subsided when Tyler approached them. "Tyler, hey."

He stood next to her and looked at Lucas, "Good to see you guys are hanging out."

"Yeah. We're getting along just great." Lucas answered, his eyes on Riley and no one else.

Tyler smiled and from what Lucas could see, he placed his hands on her back before they made their way to her hip. "Where's Maya?"

"She went upstairs. Said she needed to send someone a text."

A text?

"I'll go look for her," Riley informed. "Won't take long." She said that merely because she could see Lucas was getting irritated. Why is he even irritated in the first place? Or more importantly, why would he grab her like that? She could still see the face he made when his hand made contact with hers, he had dangerous written all over him. Confused and a little excited, Riley ran a hand through her hair as she ascended the steps. Along the way, she took out her phone and saw three texts from Maya.

Come upstairs. Now.

Lucas room.

First door to the left.

She followed Maya's directions and soon found her in a nicely furnished room, better than their guest room.

"What took you so long?" Maya asked coming in from the bathroom door.

"I was with...um...I was just talking with Lucas. Why are you here?"

"Look at this," she handed her a letter.

"Did he write about his first time?" Riley teased as she read the words on the envelope, Peter Friar. "Who's this?"

"That's Lucas's dad," Maya answered.

Just then Riley threw the letter at Maya. "No. This stuff is personal stuff-"

"Yeah. Just like his penis in every other vagina."

"Shh," Riley hushed. "I think I hear something. Someone's coming."

Maya and Riley's eyes widened. Not knowing what to do, they hid behind Lucas's bed. Soon after, when nobody walked in the room, Riley and Maya peeked their heads out from under the bed and looked at each other. "We can't be in here," Riley told Maya. "That could've been Lucas and if he saw in his here...we don't know what he could do. And it'd be worse because you would be holding a letter his dad sent him."

"C'mon. Aren't you the least bit curious to know?"

"No. Because his business is his business. Not mine. And please tell me you didn't read it."

"I didn't. It was already opened."

"Let's just go. Chop chop! I have a fuckboi to seduce. And why would his dad send him a letter?"

"Because his parents are divorced." Maya placed the letter on the bed and followed Riley out the door.

"Really?"

"Yeah. That's why his mom goes by Wesley instead of Friar." Maya slowly closed the door.

"I didn't know that."

She opened the door and looked both ways before giving Riley a nod, "There's a lot to the story even his closest friends don't know. And that's territory you are not to approach. Got it?"

Riley nodded.

"How's it going anyway?"

"With what?"

"The whole seduction plan. Is it working? Tell me it's working."

"Yeah. It's getting there. I just think it could use a little more."

"More what?"

"A little more, I don't know, sexiness?"

"Sexiness?"

She nodded, "I'm starting to get to know Lucas. And I know that if I keep playing hard to get, he'll lose interest."

"Riley think with your head."

"I am thinking with my head. And I know if I show more of...myself...he'll be interested."

"Can you do it? Because he'll probably jump at the chance to grab your ass once he sees it."

Riley had no doubt she could physically attract Lucas, she had before, but she did have her doubts in sexually titillating him. Nodding in response, Riley replied: "That's a risk I'm willing to take."

A/N: Let me know what you think about Riley wanting to use sexiness to make Lucas fall for her? Smart or nah? Also, Lucas' parents are divorced? His dad's name is Peter? How will that escalate?
