Bitter Notes (Second Sets, #1)

by Aly Beck

Kieran and I grew up together in the trenches of Central City. Once neighbors, now—he stares at me like we weren't friends hiding under the stars, talking about our tiny lives.

One day, I'll show my girl how to use those fists against everyone who decides to put their hands on her.

River Blue isn't the same girl I left eleven years ago. She's a fiery fucking treat, and I want another bite of what's mine. And this time, I'm playing for keeps.

“Believe me, they’ll screw you over faster than you can count to three, Rivey,”

I’m talking my soul dick. The dick that lives deep inside of me, not literally. So, suck my aura dick, society, and leave the name-calling out of your mouth.

“You’ll never have to worry with me, Pretty Girl. I’ll fight off the monsters.”

“Hello, boys, my name is River West, and I’m your new band manager. Congratulations,”

Big Ole fuck you!
