Page 2 of Hardy

“Don’t worry.I’ll makesure it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Rose allowed herself to be pulled backto the bed where Hardy more than made up for the fact it had beenpainful.He was the first man to ever get this far with her, andpart of her was scared what she’d be willing to givehim.

Hardy was going to break her heart.She knew it later that night as he fell asleep while she remainedawake.

“What are you doing?”Roseasked.

Going to his knee, Hardy smiled up at her.She was the first and only woman to ever capture his attention andheart.He wanted his ring on her finger, his kid in her belly, andto have her as his woman utterly and completely.“Rose, I love youmore than anything.I want you to be my wife.”

He was outside of her small apartmentwhere she lived near the college just out of Fort Wills.Hardyvisited her as often as he could.Fort Wills was his home and wouldalways be his home.

“You want to marryme?”

“There’s nothing I’d wantmore than to have you as my wife, Rose.I love you.”

“You love me?”

“Is there a parrot around?Ofcourse I love you.”He stayed on the floor, staring up at her,waiting for an answer.Hardy had taken her by surprise.He’d takenhimself by surprise when he’d found himself in the jewelry storehunting for a ring.

“I’m… I’m speechless.”

“Is that a yes or a no?”heasked.

“Yes, yes, I’ll marryyou.”

Getting to his feet, he held her hand ashe slid the ring on her finger.One was down.Now all he needed todo was get her pregnant.

“Are you sure you love me?”Rose asked.

“I’ve never been more sureof anything.”Slamming his lips down on hers, he smiled into hereyes.“I’m going to make you the happiest woman in the world, and Iknow you’re going to make me the happiest man in the world.I don’twant to wait to get married.”

He had every intention of keeping hisword.

Rose saw Hardy’s naked ass as he fucked aclub whore.She didn’t care who it was.The pain wouldn’t be anyless.She was so stupid.They’d had a good couple of years ofmarriage, and now was the bitter reality that the man she was oncein love with was now fucking another woman.She didn’t make a soundat first, simply staring at the tableau before her.For the pastcouple of weeks Hardy had been pulling away from her, refusing tospend any time with her.They’d not had sex in so long, andwhenever she tried to get him in the mood, he brushed her off.Nowshe understood why.

He was getting his rocks off withanother woman.

This can’t behappening.

It’s not fair.

He promised he’d alwaysmake me happy.

This isn’t making mehappy.

Her heart was breaking, tearing,shattering.She wanted to burn her eyes so she could no longer seewhat was happening.

Please make itstop.

I can’t handlethis.

Unable to contain the whimper from herlips, she saw Hardy had heard her.He paused mid-thrust, and inslow motion he looked behind him.

“Hardy, don’t stop, baby.I’m so close.Only you can fuck me so good.”
