Ten months after that alley, Ginger and Coco hit Rio like a match to dry tinder—and Carnival doesn’t disappoint.
Chapter 10 of Afterglow brings the heat, the glitter, and the chaos as our lovers plunge into the pulsing heart of Carnival. Sequins, cachaça, skin, sweat—Rio is a riot of sensation, and Coco is right at home in it. But when a masked stranger offers more than just temptation, it’s not jealousy that flares—it’s fear. Not of losing her to someone else. But of losing her to herself. Again.
This chapter isn’t just about sex in the shadows of samba drums (though you’ll get that, too—urgent, and unforgettable). It’s about that razor edge between freedom and commitment. About asking: when you’re used to slipping away, what does it mean to stay?

The glitter won’t last—but something else might.
