Chapter Nine

Dale

It takes a lot to open up to someone new. It takes bravery and fierce determination, but that’s what Oriana has. She’s strong. She’s wild. She’s perfect.

And she’s mine.

I’m not the type of guy who thinks he owns a woman. That’s not what I mean by “mine.” No, what I mean is that she’s mine to love, mine to hold, mine to fucking worship. I don’t think Oriana has ever been wholly, completely, and totally loved. Not the way she should be because she’s incredible.

Sweet.

Passionate.

She’s a hard worker and she’s curious. She’s determined. She’s friendly. Perhaps most importantly, she doesn’t seem to mind the fact that when we arrive at work on Monday night, everyone seems to know we’re officially sleeping together.

She laughs when Bill and Eric make comments about her being the boss man’s favorite, but she ignores their banter as she gets them their beers.

“What happens between me and the boss man is between me and the boss man,” she says with a slight warning.

“So something did happen!” Eric exclaims.

Oriana just chuckles and shakes her head as she moves away. She starts restocking the bar for the night and making sure we’ve got everything we need. New Year’s Eve really cleaned us out, but we should have enough to get through until our delivery comes in tomorrow. We’re going to need more rum, and we’re getting low on vodka, as well, but somehow, I’m not even worried or concerned about it.

If someone wants rum and we’re out, so what? They can drink whiskey for one night. They can have a bourbon and Coke. They can try tequila. There are plenty of other things and right now, I’m not nearly as worried and stressed as I usually am. I have Oriana to thank for that.

It’s not just because we finally made love.

It’s not because I actually got to taste her and touch her.

No, Oriana calms me because she’s just her. She’s just herself. She’s sweet and she’s interesting and she’s adorable. She’s fun and flirty and kind.

She’s everything a woman should be.

And Oriana might not know it right now, but I’m going to marry that girl one day.

We’ve only just met, but she’s stolen my heart, and you know what? I don’t really mind. She can have it forever. I know it’s in good hands.
