After Rain Falls (River of Rain, #2)

by C.E. Ricci

Every star in the night sky would have to burn out before it isn’t River.

“Little did I know the real casualty in this battle would be my heart when I fell in love with him too.”

“There was a point in my life when I thought your cum was the sweetest thing I’d ever tasted.” I grind the words out, desperate to gain control over the war inside me. Giving in to my desire to kiss and hold and fucking love him is the last thing I can do right now. “But I was wrong, baby. I think I prefer the taste of your tears.”

All I want—no, all I fucking need—is someone to love me back the way I should be loved.

How can emptiness feel so heavy?

“People only obsess over each other when things between them are left unfinished.”

I’ll follow you anywhere, River. Even into death.

You keep me safe.

You keep me wild.
