“Tonight was perfect,” she said.
“You are perfect.”
“We did it, we survived high school.”
I moved closer, burying a hand deep into her thick curls. “We did,” I whispered, brushing my lips against hers. “And now we get to live, Mya. We get to chase our dreams, together.”
My hand dropped to the curve of her ass, pressing her against my dick. But it wasn’t enough. In one swift motion, I picked Mya up, forcing her legs around my waist. Her shrieks of surprise filled the room but quickly turned to giggles when I turned around and dropped down on the bed with her straddling me. Her hand slid to my jaw, anchoring me in place as she kissed me. Teased me with her tongue and teeth. My fingers found the clasp of Mya’s bra, pulling it off her body while she worked a hand between us, freeing my dick from the confines of my boxer briefs. Our kisses grew frantic. Dirty wet kisses as we explored one another’s body. I would never get enough of this, of her.
Mya grasped me in her hand and sank down on me, making my world shatter with sensation. “Together,” she repeated, smothering a moan as her eyes fluttered closed.
“Together,” I ground out, letting my fingers dig into the flesh of her hips. “Always.”
Mya began moving, riding me in a way only she could. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t do anything but watch and feel; surrender myself completely to the girl who owned me.
Heart.
Body.
And soul.
I couldn’t fall any harder than I had for Mya Hernandez.
And I’d show her every day how much I loved her.
Forever.
The End
I hope you enjoyed Asher and Mya’s story, and the conclusion to the Rixon Raiders series.

Saying goodbye to any series is always hard but saying goodbye to a series that changed the game is virtually impossible. Cam, Jason, and Asher didn’t just steal my heart, they tore it out and held it captive. And I think they’ll always own a little piece of my soul.
So many of you have asked me if it’s truly the end, and while it’s definitely goodbye to their life as Raiders, their stories will go on … whether I’ll ever write them again remains a mystery (*insert winky emoji here*).
As always, there is a huge list of people I owe gratitude:
Andie, my editor rock star! I feel like at this point I don’t need to say anything except I’d be lost without you. Never leave me. Please. Thank you! To my alpha reader and friend, Nina: you’ve been with me throughout this entire series and I’ve been so grateful to have you there cheering me on. My beta team: Keeana, Bre, Taylor and Ashley, thank you for reading Asher and Mya’s story last minute. And finally Ginelle, my proof-reader extraordinaire. I don’t always get my stories to you in time but you always find those last-minute errors. You’re most definitely stuck with me for the forseeable! And to Tammy from The Graphics Shed, for providing speedy yet beautiful formatting. You rock lady! To Sarah Puckett and Wen Ross for bringing these characters to life in audio – it’s been a pleasure to work with you.
To my L A Cotton promo team – you ladies rock my socks! Your constant support is amazing and I feel lucky to have you all in my corner. Virtual hugs for everyone! My Indie Girls, you know who you are. Thanks for always being there when I need to vent or just chat about what’s working and what isn’t.
To my readers / spoiler groups – your support, encouragement, and love for my stories makes all this worthwhile, and the response to this series has literally blown me away (well, not literally because that would be awkward). I hope I continue to entertain you and provide much needed escape with the characters and worlds I create.
And finally to the bloggers, reviewers, and bookstagrammer who have supported the series, thanks doesn’t really seem enough!

An edgy, angsty, addictive YA/NA crossover series from L. A. Cotton, author of the Chastity Falls series.Sometimes wrong feels so right... When seventeen-year-old Eloise Stone finds herself halfway across the world, moving into her uncle's pool house, she expects things to be ... awkward. She doesn't expect to come face-to-face with the boy from last summer. The boy that made her feel things she'd never felt before. But a year is a long time, and Lo isn't the girl she was then. Besides, they're family now.It's weird.Maverick Prince acts as if he doesn't remember her, treating Lo like nothing more than an annoying younger sister, and not in a 'he ca
res' way, just in a 'he's an arsehole' way. One thing's for sure, he isn't just dangerous for her sanity--he's hazardous for her heart.Lo thought moving to Wicked Bay was the worst of her problems, but as life begins to unravel around her, she's going to find out it's only the beginning...~The Wicked Bay Series is recommended for readers aged 17+ due to mature themes, language and content.
