Unwanted Love (book 3 of the LOVE series)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

When Rose got home, she couldn’t stop the pain in her heart. Once inside she went to shower. The tears fell once more as she washed and felt the soreness between her legs. It wasn’t that he had hurt her. On the contrary. He had filled more than her body, the moment they came apart in each other’s arms. Yet here she was, getting ready to run.

After her shower, Rose got down to business packing her belongings. As she packed she realized there was no way she would leave Percy to deal with her unfinished work. “Curse my need to finish what I start.” As she muttered to herself and only after the car was packed, did she sit and start the end of the subcategorizing of the horses information.  Once this was done. It would be easy for Percy when she returned from visiting baby Grace.

While she worked on tying up loose ends. Steel had also gone home and showered. He cleaned up the house and it wasn’t until he was fixing breakfast that it hit him. “Son of a bitch.” He yelled out then covered his mouth in hopes no one had heard him.

How the hell could he have let this shit happen again? He was a sick bastard and a glutton for punishment.  There was no way she had been on the pill. She was a virgin for fucks sake. “Shit, shit, shit” He groaned and hit his head against the table.

There was only one thing he could do at this point. So after talking to his mom, he ran out of the house in search of Rose. Before he reached Rose’s place, a strange calm settled over him. This was nothing like before. He loved Rose and if God saw fit to send them a baby. He would love it just as much. It was different this time, he smiled when he reached her house.

“Damn” he muttered upon realizing it wasn’t even five in the morning yet. Was it too early to come courting.  He stopped in his tracks, had he really thought that stupid word. Where the hell did courting come from. Damn this woman and the crazy thoughts she puts in his head. He stomped over to her house and sure enough. The door wasn’t fucking locked.

“Woman! I’m going to have to spank that ass of yours. The fucking door wasn’t locked again.” He went in search of her. There she was, on her bed fully dressed engrossed in her computer. Had she not seen him? She looked up and her eyes were red. Had she been crying? Had he hurt her?

Without even thinking he went to her and hauled her onto his lap after he sat on the edge of the bed. “Did I hurt you sweet heart?” She curled into him and he hurt from hearing her soft sobs. This went on for a couple of minutes. When she finally stopped, he lifter her chin so she could face him.

How was it possible that even after crying, she was the second most beautiful creature he had ever seen?   “Talk to me Rose.”
