41 " Your name was already inscribed on my heart and etched in my soul. The only place it was missing was inked on my skin. "
― C.E. Ricci , After Rain Falls (River of Rain #2)
42 " you have to hit rock bottom. Just to know what it feels like. To know how bad it can be and still be alive. I mean, I know you know what I'm saying," he sighs, his eyes flicking out the window. "
43 " And I felt like I needed to go through it. To know how difficult it can be to climb out on my own. "
44 " I want it though. The same way I know you want mine." His eyes dart between mine and he nods again. "Then it’s yours. "
45 " Is it possible to be in love with someone's dick? "
46 " You're painting me?" That makes him chuckle. "Technically I'm painting on you. "
47 " Not that he's an asshole or anything, it's just the way he is. "
48 " I feel his fingers weave their way through my hair and the struggle coursing through his body. I know, because I feel it, too. We’re both tired. Of fighting each other, of fighting this intoxicating desire that overwhelms us every single time we’re in a room together. And just like every other time since the first in the cabin, we lose. "
49 " Still, I find myself kissing him back with fervor, like a man dying of thirst and he’s the water I need to survive. "
50 " Anticipation is rushing through me, bubbling up and filling me to the brim. And the second his tongue flicks across the head of my cock, his piercing rolling against the sensitive skin there, a soft groan escapes me. "
51 " His smile grows as he plants a rough kiss on my lips before rolling off me. He positions himself on top of me to sixty-nine and I can't help but laugh because this is what he wants to try? God, he's fucking adorable. "
52 " But I was wrong, baby. I think I prefer the taste of your tears. "
53 " Every time he touches me, it’s more addictive than anything else. Drugs, alcohol, whatever it might be. He seeps into every cell of my being and all that matters is him. "
54 " And I absolutely know, he could and has drug me through hell, but none of it could ever make me want him any less. "I love you," I tell him softly. And nothing in the world has felt better coming from my lips or the freedom to say them in the first place. He glances down and meets my eyes. "You have no idea how fucking amazing it is to hear you say it. "
55 " It's not. But I don't mind taking a rain check for an hour." One of his hands move around to grip me, slowly jacking my length. A slight hiss escapes me which causes those dimples to pop in his cheeks. "Or maybe two. "
56 " I fucking hate when you make sense. "
57 " As if reading my thoughts, Rain clears his throat. "I know it feels like it will be right now, but this won't always be easy. "
58 " nod, his hair tickling my chin before I kiss the top of his head. "I know, Abhainn. I just want to keep you safe." "We're safest together. "
59 " Leaning up on my forearms and opening my eyes, I furrow my brows to give him a what the fuck look. "I know, baby. But I don't care. I know what I'm signing up for. We'll fight and we'll make up. That's what couples, what partners, do." I move to sit up completely, careful to keep my back from touching the sheets and scoot over directly in front of him. "Don't try talking me or yourself out of this. I fucking meant it when I said forever." His eyes track mine. "We're only twenty-one," he whispers. "How can we know what forever is supposed to look like when we've barely lived? "
60 " How can emptiness feel so heavy? "
