With the exception of having to sit through her

children‟s idea of music and the north‟s version of iced

tea, not much scared Vienna Lorcc. Her fearlessness

wasn‟t because she thought she was so big and bad,

although she was pretty badass. Her fearlessness was

due to having the love, friendship and respect of Asim

Lorcc. In her line of work, it was par for the course to

be in the company of strong, cunning, quick-thinking,

wealthy and titled people…and then there was Asim

Lorcc. He was everything dreams were made of…if

you had the capacity to dream that big, that fearlessly,

that relentlessly.

He wasn‟t a perfect man, but he was a good man,

and it‟d only taken her a hot second to realize

that…and then another second to know she was going

to marry him. She‟d claimed him in front of everybody

and dared anyone to try and take him from her. She

wasn‟t normally that bold when it came to men, but

there was just something about Asim Lorcc. Actually,

it wasn‟t just something; it was a whole lot of

something. Over time, she‟d discovered so much

about Asim, and just as she treasured the man, she

treasured her discoveries.

Asim was the strongest person she knew. His

strength wasn‟t derived from how well he could whip

ass or how much weight he could lift. His strength

was evident in the way he responded to being ignored,

overlooked, and called racial epithets or “boy.” His

strength was evident in the way he used his size and

intelligence to lift people up. His strength was evident

when he picked up someone else‟s burdens and carried

them along with his own, not out of obligation but out

of solidarity.

Asim was also the most beautiful person she‟d

ever encountered. His beauty wasn‟t due to his large

stature, his wide chest, tree-trunk like thighs or his

espresso-colored skin. His beauty was derived from

his integrity. There wasn‟t any in-between with him

when it came to doing right by people. To him the

ends didn‟t justify the means. If something wasn‟t

just, it wasn‟t right.

While his strength and beauty called to her, so

did his directness. Asim Lorcc didn‟t know how to

pussyfoot around, how to hedge, or how to play games.

She liked the way his no always meant no and his yes

always meant yes…and how he could say either

without ever saying a word.

She loved this man. She still recalled their

wedding vows. While she‟d straight out told the

preacher the only way she‟d obey Asim was if he was

her commanding officer (and being that he was Navy

and she was Army, she was pretty sure that wasn‟t

going to happen), she‟d thought she‟d meant it when

she said she‟d love him till death do us part. The

passing of time had proved to her that‟d been a lie.

She wouldn‟t love him till death did them part; she‟d

love him even after then.

While other men would be threatened by her

boldness, her position, and her refusal to back down

from something she believed in, Asim was her biggest

fan club. Sometimes he was the only one in it, but that

didn‟t matter, because she discovered he was the only

person she needed. He had her back…and her front

and her sides and the area above and beneath her and

a thousand-mile radius all around her.
