Chapter Eleven

Now that he’d consciously accepted what he suspected some part of him had known since New Year’s Eve, it was as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. There was no more doubt, no more worrying or wondering if he would ever find a woman capable of satisfying all of his needs.

Mary was genuinely kind and compassionate. She owned her own business and was a valued member of a small and close-knit community. More than capable of caring for herself, she allowed him to care for her without being needy or clingy. And even though she had the sub thing down, she liked to take control once in a while, too, as her little surprise on the drive last night proved.

Most importantly, she did all this without knowledge of his wealth and power.

That would change soon enough. Convinced as he was of her sincerity, he no longer had any wish to keep such things from her. On the contrary, he was very much looking forward to showing her just how much better her life was going to be soon.

Mary sighed softly, but she did not wake. As much as he wanted to take her again, he would let her sleep a little longer. She had earned an extra bit of pampering.

He eased himself from her bed, being careful not to wake her. She frowned in her sleep at the lack of contact, making him smile.

Max was waiting in the hallway. He greeted Aidan as if he emerged from his mistress’s bedroom every morning.

“Mary’s still sleeping,” Aidan said quietly when Max kept looking at the door. “What do you say you and I make her breakfast?”

Aidan started to chastise himself for talking to the dog as if he was a person, but then stopped when Max seemed to think about it for a minute, then gave him a big doggie grin.

They padded into the kitchen together. Max went right over to his dish, picked it up in his teeth, and brought it over to Aidan. Aidan stared down at him in disbelief, then took the bowl from him. Max moved over and stood in front of one cupboard in particular, nosing the knob. Guessing at what he would find there, Aidan followed him and opened the door. Yep. Dog food.

Shaking his head, he filled Max’s bowl and got him some fresh water. He’d always thought caring for a pet would be a pain in the ass, but he found he actually kind of enjoyed this.

“I don’t suppose you know where she keeps the coffee, do you?” he asked, only half-jokingly. Max tilted his head and regarded him. If he knew, he wasn’t telling.

As it turned out, the coffee was in a canister (helpfully labeled “coffee”) right near the coffee maker, which was an old-fashioned percolator. He’d never actually used one before, but he figured the CEO of a multi-million dollar corporation should be able to figure it out. It took a great deal longer than he would
