Fine, it's a trope, grumpy character meets happy carefree character, they fall in love, and it's all cute. Not my favourite trope to begin with. But a grumpy character can be charming in a way, when he or she eventually warms up. Or stays grumpy, that can work too. Zach is so far beyond grumpy though, he's just an asshole. The whole possessive thing is not romantic. It is understandable that Lucky fell completely in love with Zach when he was 15, because 15-year-olds are stupid. Why Lucky is still in love with Zach is very much not understandable, because Zach has pretty much no redeeming features. This whole relationship just feels very unhealthy (even excluding the age difference), which makes the sex scenes (and there are so many of them) feel very icky.
