Page 30 of Her Chocolate His Bar

But whatever we were, I wasn’t sure if that meant the rules changed when it came to our respective businesses.

I Knew better than to shit where I ate. And this store meant everything to me. The only thing was, I was starting to think maybe Sonny did, too.

Fuck.

“Well, maybe he was just buying treats for his employees,” I said and tried to brush it off nonchalantly.

“Mm hmm. You know, he’s not a bad looking fella,” Derry observed. “Rich, too. Might make a woman a good husband someday.”

“Ohmygawd, Derry! We’re just, I don’t know, spending time together.”

“Is that right?”

“Derry! Yes. That is all. We’re not getting married. Besides, I am not really his type,” I told her, though my heart was now going a mile a minute.

“He sure looks like you’re his type. Girl, he’s into you. You’ve got a real Prince Charming right next door, Delani. Maybe you shouldn’t let him get away,” Derry added, before going back to help some customers who’d just entered.

The old-fashioned bell I hung over the door rang every time someone came in. I just liked the old timey feel of it. Her words haunted me as I finished up my work.

Sonny a Prince Charming?

Hmm. Maybe.

What girl didn’t dream of finding a handsome man to sweep her off her feet? I snorted and wondered if Prince Charming ever told Cinderella what a pretty pussy she had? Or what a Good Girl she was for taking his dick so well?

My Prince Charming sure does.

My face burned at the memories of the things we’d said and done last night. Sonny was a fucking rockstar in bed.

Every time we were together, he brought me higher and higher, until I thought I’d never come back down to Earth.

Maybe Derry was right. I never thought I would find someone I trusted or wanted enough to be with them every single day. The more I thought about it—about him—the more I realized I couldn’t picture myself without him.

Sonny Delgado was important to me. Didn’t matter that I knew it was way too soon for that kind of thinking.

I pushed my inappropriate and potentially hazardous to my heart thoughts to the back of my mind, concentrating on my work instead.

Work was safer.

I had an hour before I would see him again. Plenty of time to get my shit together.

CHAPTER ELEVEN—DELANI

The next time I looked up, it was quarter to twelve, and I raced to the restroom to remove my apron and fix myself.

I had cocoa powder on my cheek and sprinkles stuck to my shirt.

Good thing I had extras. Once I was dressed and refreshed, I called out to Derry that I was leaving for lunch and used the alley to walk to The Whiskey Bar.

The bartender, Buck, I remembered his name, was carrying a case of liquor at the same time I opened the door, and I almost nailed him with it.

“My bad!”

“Nah, you’re good, girl. Come in. He’s waiting for you in party room B.”

“Party room B?” I asked, confused.

“Yep, go past the stage and the second bar, and you will see four rooms with little gold plates next to them with A, B, C, and D. Go through the door for room B, and you’ll see our boy. Have fun,” he said and wagged his eyebrows.
