Love Never Fails by Ginni Conquest Page A

colored eyes.
“Hey D, close your mouth.  Remember grovel, not drool,” smiled Denise.
As I watched Selina walk towards the limo, she smiled up at DT over something he said to her. I have to admit, I was jealous that gorgeous smile wasn’t directed at me. I’m losing it big time. I hope by the time the evening was over, she would be on her way to forgiving me.  I don’t know what I would do if she didn’t but pushing that thought aside, I have my ways to win her back.  I opened the limo door and got out to meet her.  Walking over to her, I offered her my arm which I was glad that she took. Leaning close to her ear, I caught the sexy cologne that lingered on her neck and hair.
“I know I shouldn’t say this but you look stunning.”
“No you shouldn’t.” As she stopped on the sidewalk, I motioned DT towards the driver seat.
“Let’s make something clear Mr. Stone.  You are my boss and I am your employee. What happened a few days ago will not happen again. I would appreciate that we keep this professional so I can do the job that I was hired to do.” Moving her arm from mine, she walked the rest of the way to the limo on her own accord. Damned if I didn’t want to grab this woman, throw her over my shoulder and basically have my way with her.
Now I know that this wasn’t going to be easy but I love a challenge. Selina looked so adorable when she was angry but I let her think that I was agreeable to her demand when I didn’t say a word. As she got into the limo, I heard the girls introducing themselves to her as I climbed in right after her. My eyes caught Tom and Steve’s in an understanding of my task at hand as the girls wanted to know where Selina bought that dress. Hearing the name of Selina’s favorite boutique, I filed that away for future gifts for her.  I plan on making this a mission with this groveling thing.
I was taking everyone out to the Midnight Garden for dinner, drinking and some dancing.  Noticing that the guys were holding their wives hands, I put mine across the back of the seat behind Selina and made sure my leg was lightly touching hers.  She kept moving it over but really didn’t have any room unless she started touching Steve’s leg, so I had her there.  Seeing her look up at me, I kept my eyes averted from hers.  I could feel the annoyance radiating off of her.  I’ll let my little Princess have her day with her anger attitude towards me but my patience was starting to wear thin.  By the end of the night, I plan on this attitude being a thing in the past.  Bringing my mind back into the conversation, Denise congratulated me on finding someone like Selina to do amazing work in the company.  Besides Geology, I found out that Selina loved the water, had her scuba diving credentials and planned on doing several dives with the team at Stone.
“That’s not necessary,” I blurted out loud.
“Excuse me?”  Selina responded back to me with an edge to her voice.  “This is what I do Mr. Stone. It’s part of my job so I can see firsthand what is going on at the rig.”
I saw Theresa and Denise both stare at me with matching frowns on their faces.  This night wasn’t going well for me right about now, I need a drink and to fix it.
“Let me explain Selina.  I didn’t know that you would be part of the dives and I have a complete team that handles that work for us.  Forgive me for watching after your wellbeing.”
“I can take care of myself Mr. Stone and have already connected with the team’s Captain.  I’ll be doing my first dive with them tomorrow.”
“Now that sounds exciting Selina,” gushed Denise.  “It must be an incredible world underwater.  Now I am very envious of your job.”
“I love excitement of diving, the serenity of the underwater world and the creatures that inhabit it.  It’s very calming.”
“Well, I can see how you look forward to it,” said Steve. “Our team is one of the best.”
“I look forward to learning
