Between Never and Forever

by Shain Rose

“I don’t really give a fuck if someone sees me with my girlfriend.”

Dex Hardy, in a three-piece suit and all grown up, stood in front of me, ready to take over my world. And then he leaned in close and whispered in my ear, “Because your ass knows. You’re not marrying anyone but me.”

“I’m not fucking you while you’re engaged to someone else. Call him and end it.”

“Bend over the counter and face the window. Look out at the city I rule and feel how I’m going to rule you too.”

“Take his ring off, Kee. I can’t fucking stand you wearing it for another second.” I did as I was told.

I glanced down to where I knew he was pierced. “Fuck me, Kee.” His voice rumbled out low as he swore and rearranged his slacks suddenly. “Keep your eyes above the waist if you want to be able to walk out of here today.”

“Then slide your panties off so I can fuck you and watch you orgasm on every one of my screens.”

“You should be where I am.”

“We will sift through our baggage for the rest of our lives together. Remember that, heartbreaker. When you meet me at the altar tomorrow, know that if you say I do, it’s for forever with me. Not someone else. You’ll never be with someone else again.”
