Prologue

When Hardy metRose

“Fuck, these bitches arepriceless,” Hardy said, laughing as Tiny grabbed another clubwhoreandtook her back to his office.He loved it when they were partying.Zero, Butch, Lash, and Nash were all there, some of themprospecting.God, Hardy loved The Skulls.Becoming a patched inmember of the club in Fort Wills was the best thing he ever did inhis life.There really wasn’t anything better than being surroundedby whores, and brothers, partying.He didn’t have any family oranyone to love other than the club.The Skulls ran through hisveins, and he was damn loyal to all the brothers he fought beside.It was part of him, and he knew he’d give his very life for theclub.No woman was ever going to be good enough to come between himand the club.

Wipingthe sweat from his brow he glancedthroughout the room.He wasn’t even close to being drunk, but withthe heat it was a fucking nightmare.Bitches were all over theplace in different states of undress.He wanted a little air.Whenhe wanted a cunt to use, he’d pick one.Turning toward the door,Hardy’s body went completely still.It was the first moment in hislife he’d been captured by such a beautiful woman.There was no wayshe was a club whore.He’d never even seen her before, and couldn’trecall her being with anyone else.Hardy would have remembered her.She stuck out of the crowd like a sore thumb, wearing thick rimmedglasses, with her glossy red hair piled on top of her head.Shewore a thin shirt that clung to every inch of hercurves.

Hardy couldn’t look away.He washypnotized by the sight of her.She was beautiful, plain andsimple.No, beautiful was too nice a word.Spectacular, she rivaled every otherwoman in the club, including all the bitches he’d fucked before.Hewanted her.

Unable to look away, he made hisway toward her.He couldn’t go anywhere else even if he wanted to.Something pulled him toward her, not allowing him to go anywhereelse but to her.The closer he got to her, the more enthralled hebecame.He saw she was wearing jeans and she’d crossed her armsunderneath her chest, pushing those beauties together.

Running fingers through his hair, heclosed the short distance, invading her space.Still, the redheaddidn’t look up.She looked so out of place, almostafraid.

Touching her arm, he brought herattention around to him.He was struck dumb for a split second.Hardycouldn’t recall ever being tongue-tied with a woman.Finally,getting a hold of himself, he spoke.

“Hello, beautiful, I’venever seen you here before,” he said.

Her cheeks heated to a different shade ofred.Hardy knew his new favorite color was going to be red.Her redhair, her blush—wow, he was taken away with all of her, and she’dnot even spoken yet.

“Erm,” she said, lookingover her shoulder.“I’ve never been here before.I’m here with afriend, actually.”

“Man or woman?”

“Woman.”She turned back to him,and he was struck dumb a second time by her startling green eyes.The third time he was kicked in the gut was when she smiled.Hismouth went dry, and he couldn’t believe what was happening tohim.

“I’m Hardy,” he said,offering her a hand to shake.

She giggled.“Rose.”

“What?”he asked

“My name, it’sRose.”

“Well, Rose, it’s apleasure to meet you.”

“It’s nice to meet you aswell.”

“Please, you’re hurting me,” Rosesaid, crying out.He’d just rammed his dick insideher, and nowshe couldn’t get him out of her.This was why she’d avoided sex.She’d heard many women talking about the horrors of their firsttime, and so she went out of her waynotto have sex.At twenty years old she should havelost hers, but she’d not found the right guy she wanted to be with.Then there was the whole fear factor, and now it was sopainful.

“Fuck, you’re avirgin.”

“No shit, Sherlock,” she said,shoving at him.He was hurting her, and now it had spoiled thewhole losing virginity thing.It was a shame as Hardy had seemedlike a nice guy to lose it to.For the past couple of weeks he’dbeen pretty attentive, wanting to find everything out about her.Itwas refreshing to have a guy interested in her.Usually her friendgot all the attention.

She pushed him off and climbed off thebed.Rose ignored the little specks of blood, reaching for herjeans.

“Whoa, wait,baby.”

“This was a big mistake,” shesaid, pushing her hair out of the way.

Hardy held onto her arm.“You’renot going to run out on me.Shit, I’m so sorry.I didn’t know it wasyour first time.Fuck, I can make it better.Give me a chance tomake it better.”

He started to kiss her neck, and allthought of protesting evaporated as the hard stubble on his chinhad goosebumps erupting all over her flesh.Instead of rushing out,she leaned in close toward him.

Biting her lip, she closed her eyesand tilted her head to the side.

“It hurt,” shesaid.
