I just want to thank you for your support.
I loved writing this book. It breaks my heart to end this beautiful romance. I loved writing about Alec's and River's love. I hope you all enjoyed it too.
It would mean so much if you would leave me a review and share my book with others.
I am currently working on Alpha Ivan's sequel, Valentina - I Bow To No One.
I don't like to work on multiple books at one time. It's better for me that way so that I won't get the characters mixed up. As soon as I have a good amount of chapters I will get with my editor and get it on the shelf.
Also, please let me know what you thought about River. As an author, I would love the feedback especially on what I can work on. I have another book I would like to add on my page, but it would have to wait.
That one will fall into the-- my bestfriends brother, catagory.
I want to thank my love ones who have supported me on this journey. Like I said before, I never thought I would be writing books and it has beem amazing. Follow me in I* when you get a chance for updates, sneek peeks, songs, and pictures of ppl who inspire my characters. Thank you once again for your love and support. Sending each and one of you a virtual warm hug.
Three years later.“What did you bring for lunch, bestie?” Zach said buoyantly.I rolled my eyes, “Stop eyeing my food, Z. I’m not giving you half of my lunch. You always do this to me, you eat yours and then steal from mine.” I said in an annoying tone.“Come on! Steal? Wrong choice of words don’t you think, Riv’s? Sharing is caring and what are best friends for…you know I love your food, babe.” He retorted, pouting and giving me puppy eyes.“Well, then it’s a good thing I brought you a separate container of spaghetti.” I grinned, wiggling my eyebrows.“You do love me!!! I knew it! Thank you, Rivs. You need to show D how to make your famous spaghetti. But say it without her knowing I asked you to. Baby girl gets butt hurt when she burns something or the food comes out bland. So you can imagine how she’ll get if she finds out I don’t like her spaghetti.” He frowned and blew out his cheeks.Delilah and Zach got engaged the year we graduated. They’re now living on the outskirts of Houst
“We’re pregnant!” I yelled out at our family and friends, and they all gaped.Before they reacted to the news, I shouted out, “Wait! Wait, that’s not all!” Alec chuckled. I glanced over to him and mouthed, ‘Ready?’He nodded. I pulled a onesie that said ‘Not One’ and then two seconds later, Alec pulled the next onesie saying ‘But Two’.Everyone roared. The house was filled with shock, cheering, and laughter. I loved their expressions but most importantly the way our parents cried.We had invited everyone to a get together at our home. We threatened every one of them to save the date and make an appearance, especially Jason and Samantha.Guess what though? Jason finally proposed. Sammy showed us her engagement ring and we all screamed. We were jumping with joy for them both. I hugged my buddy, almost bringing him to the ground.“J, I’m so happy you finally asked! I can’t wait!” I spoke through tears. I was truly happy for him because I was scared he would lose her. They’ve been together
River“It’s so muggy out here!” I whined as I carried a box full of my junk to my Dad’s Toyota 4 Runner.Texas was the worst state to live in during the summer in my opinion. The humidity was gross and sticky, and the inferno-sizzling temperatures only made it worse. Even with a tank top and shorts, I was sweating like a pig.“God, whatever you have baking in the oven, I think it’s done!” I yelled out to the four winds. Dad chuckled behind me.“How many more boxes do you still have left, smalls?” He asked, handing me a bottle of water.“Thanks! About 2 more and I’m done.” I replied, wiping the sweat off my forehead with my shirt. I opened the bottle and gulped the water down, almost choking when I felt it go down the wrong hole. I coughed hard.“That’s what you get for chugging it down like that.” He laughed, patting my back. I gave him a death glare.We walked back into the house heading to my room. Picking up a box, I stopped, and gave my room one last glance, “Nope, I won’t miss it
RiverWe finally made it after 2 hours of driving. We headed out to the apartment on campus, choosing to live in the same complex but having our own space. Well, I did. He was upset at first, but frankly, I just wanted to live a little and feel free. I wanted that single life, you know the one where you should be able to play music out loud, watch T.V., walk around naked, and eat whatever and whenever you want.Two of our good friends Jason and Erica, were also attending UT, but they had dorms. Jason shared a room with a guy and Erica shared one with a girl. I on the other hand was able to afford my apartment because of my mom’s life insurance. Dad put it away for me to use for college. I also had scholarships because your girl here was a smart cookie.Zach was able to afford an apartment because his family was wealthy. So money was never an issue for him. However, Zach is a very smart guy, a genius if you may. He chose to major in Mechanical Engineering just like me. He said watchi
RiverA few hours later, Zach came by knocking at my door. “It’s me…Z. Open up, babe.” He hollered behind the door.I got up from the floor, looking at my window. I hadn’t realized it was dark outside. How long was I at it?“Hey guys! Come in.” I said, surprised to see Jason and Erica with him as I opened the door.“Nice place, shorty!” Jason said. “Umm hmm! I love it!” Erica chimed. “Too bad you only have one room. Where would I sleep if I wanted to spend the night, Riv?”I cocked an eyebrow, “The couch, E.” I gave her a bored look. She laughed, “Right because we all know you're a bed hogger.” I scowled, “AM NOT!”Zach chuckled, “She ain’t lying, babe. You sleep like the whole bed isn’t enough for you.”“Oh, you shush! What’s up? Whatcha want? Why’d ya come over here for? Ya came to taunt me or what?” I questioned with a hand on my hip. Zach raised his hands in surrender.“Damn, so many questions. Can’t we just visit, just because? Well, if you want to know so bad, food brought me he
AlecI was walking towards the apartment complex where my boy, Jaylen, lived. I usually hung out with him because the guys at the fraternity house were more on the obnoxious side. He was a calm guy and an introvert. He’s been my friend since we were in High School in Los Angeles.We both wanted to get away from our families. I heard so many things about Texas and searched UT in Austin, becoming fascinated with the photos and reviews. So I made a quick trip with Jaylen here for a week before applying. The hill country is fascinating. We went to the Oasis, the caverns–which I’d never seen before, rivers, lakes, parties, and other cities discovering a whole other world here. Texas should really be a country if you ask me. So, now here we are, living the Texan life.Jaylen was more of a computer whiz and I was athletic. I play football for the Texas Longhorns, as a wide receiver. Jaylen used to play football with me in high school, but he got tired of the beatings and practices. I, on
AlecI was burning for this girl. Everyone and everything was fading away, even the thundering music dwindled, as if we were the only ones in the room. My lips brushed her cheek and down to her neck, fanning my warm breath as I slowly made my way back up to her ear.I could feel her breathing change. She was turned on. I spread my legs a little wider moving down a bit, so that my shaft was at the level of her bubbly a*s, pressing against her. She surprised me when she pushed her a*s out. Oh, she wants me. She arched her back so that her head rested on my chest. I loved the way she slowed the movement in her hips to grind against my boy.There was no hiding that she liked the feel of my bulge against her sexy a*s. Her cheeks looked a little flustered as the intense sexual feeling became stronger. I removed my hand from her throat and grabbed her chin turning her face towards me. Her eyes almost popped out when she saw me. I was confused. Did she know me? Did she like what she saw? I s
River The logical side of me was yelling, ‘Think about it! He’s a stranger. You're gonna end up getting hurt. This is your v-card, it’s supposed to be special.’ I squeezed my eyes tightly to drown out my thoughts. Who was I kidding though, I wanted this…and badly. For so long I’ve waited to feel something exhilarating happen in my life. The butterflies I felt with Zach at times, were nothing compared to the swarm of angry hornets in my stomach. His touch, his kiss, the swell of his manhood, and his stare woke up a desire, an arousal within me. Maybe it’s because Zach hasn’t ever tried touching or kissing me. Today I, River Barlowe, ‘the prude’, a name that was given to me by my sexually active friends, was going to lose her virginity to a guy in college, a hot stranger. Yup, me! Now what would they call me? Wait, don't answer that. I’ll deal with the consequences later because I would later have to remind myself that I was doing this out of thirst and want, not out of love. “Rav

RiverFive months later.I don’t know where to start. So much has happened since the day we returned to his home from Las Vegas.First, let me start by saying I’m a big sister y’all! My baby brother, Tristan, is finally here. He was born on March 7th and he’s my Dad’s twin with blue eyes and light brown hair. Baby boy is adorable! My friends, Alec’s parents, and some of Abby’s relatives and friends were there to welcome him to this world. It was the best day ever.Sorry, I got a little too excited. Back to when we returned to his home from Vegas.The time came to say goodbye and it was really sad. Even though we were going to see each other in a week or two, depending on how long the transfer process and packing took, it was still difficult for both of us.When he dropped me off at the airport, it was the longest agonizing moment of our lives. Yes, I'm being dramatic. We shared a lot of kisses, making sure not to do it in the public eye. Let’s just say…I’m glad they had family restroom
AlecMine. All mine. I would have her for the rest of my life until my last dying breath.My mouth went dry the moment I saw her in the sexy lingerie. Her tits out, the stockings on those sexy legs, the thong, the whole outfit had me rock hard. Then she began to dance and the song she chose almost had me combusting. Run her like a river?! Oh, I was going to do that and more. My hands weren’t holy though, I’ve made her sin and I have no regrets.She protested and threw a fit when I carried her to our room saying she wasn’t done. I ain’t gonna lie, when she ordered me to go in the room it was sexy as heck and I loved that side of her, but I’m dominant and the Alpha in me couldn’t control himself anymore.I could practically smell her arousal and saw how her p*ssy glistened when she waved it in my face. How can she expect the beast in me to sit there and watch her bounce and sway her delicious a*s on my shaft?I threw her on the bed, “Alec!” She giggled. I began to unbutton my shirt when
RiverWe made it to Palazzo Resort. The security there guided Alec and me to LAVO, an Italian restaurant and nightclub located inside. The moment we walked in, everyone was there waiting for us. Even some of Brice’s closest friends and Jaylen’s parents.Brice rented the entire restaurant slash club for us. It had a spacious dance floor and looked sleek and modern, with a mix of vintage and contemporary elements. I loved it!Xander was grinning at me the entire time and I just had to ask why.“Why are you smiling at me like that? Do you find me funny or something?” He cackled.“Nope, I just knew that Alec would finally get his girl in the end. All he needed to do was be patient. You were never Zach’s and I’m so glad that you discovered that yourself. By the way, sorry to hear about your accident.” I was in awe. My lips parted to his reply.“What nonsense are you telling my wife, Xander?” Alec said, hugging me from behind, and kissing my neck.“Nonsense? Quite the opposite, Alec. I’m onl
River“Okay, we’re all here! What’s going on, River? I mean don’t get us wrong, we are super happy that you got your man and y’all are together, but why did ya want all of us together here on iChat?” Erica questioned.I sent them a group message earlier to get on iChat. It was late, but this news couldn’t wait. I mean, I could have done a video chat, but I wanted a perfect view of their faces. Front row tickets of their genuine expressions when they heard the news of us getting married.Alec came up behind me, wrapped his arm around my neck, and kissed my cheek. “Hey guys, thanks for getting on here on short notice. I appreciate you guys making time for this sudden meeting. I’m sure y’all were busy but we have some news we want to share with you.”Zach cocked an eyebrow. Jaylen looked puzzled. Jason was waiting for us to speak. Erica and Delilah were both wearing a smile.“Okay, spill,” Erica said impatiently.I lifted my hand to the camera and showed them the ring. Everyone's jaw drop
RiverI can’t believe I’m here! The most magical place a girl could be at, a dream come true– Disneyland. I should add Disney World to my bucket list after this. Any girl who’s watched all the Disney princess movies should understand this feeling inside. Since I was a little girl, my all-time favorite movie was Ariel, but I also loved Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.“Ouch!” I squealed. I pinched myself on the arm as I stood in front of Cinderella’s castle, earning me a puzzled look from Alec. He shook his head and I rolled my eyes, he wouldn’t understand. We came early in the morning to walk through at least two parks. I wore this cute dusty pink oversized jogger set. Alec kept trying to cover my stomach from guys who couldn’t keep their eyes off me. My cropped matching color hoodie was too short for his liking. I mean I don’t understand what the big deal was, I looked cute and it was perfect for the weather.I even wore my white Adidas with matching color stripes to my outfit. My h
AlecRiver and I spent the whole weekend together, sightseeing. I mostly wanted her to see the beach and take her to the Santa Monica pier. We also spent two nights alone in a hotel, indulging in our bodies and orgasms. It all felt like a dream, a dream I was scared to wake up from.The thought of her returning home was heavy on my heart. How would I survive the next few months without her? That was going to be hard.At night while she slept in my arms, I thought about the comment I made outside the restaurant at the guy snapping our picture. I told him she would be my wife and I meant that.Then it hit me! What if I make her my wife? What if before she leaves, we go to Las Vegas and get married? I mean we didn’t have to go far, a courthouse would do, but it would be perfect. There was no doubt in every inch of my body that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.She was a done deal, the one who captured and owned my heart. I knew she felt the same way, so why wait? We are not
