From Here to Eternity (Moonlit Ridge, #1)

by A.L. Jackson

“And if you need someone? If you get scared or want to give into whatever the fuck happened last night? If you want to run like I know you were planning to do? Then you come to me. You understand? You don’t have to be afraid.”

“Promise you, these hands will never hurt you, Charleigh. They’ll only ever bring you pleasure.”

“Nah, I’m not going to break you, Charleigh, I’m just going to ruin you for anyone else.”

“Always. I didn’t know what it was to want someone. To need someone. Not until I met you. And I need it. Fuck me, River. Possess me. Make me remember who I’m supposed to be.”
