Chapter Ten

Nico

Mia walks out into the hallway at eight on the dot. She is wearing a light pink tank top, jeans, and white sneakers. Her hair is pulled up into a ponytail and from what I can tell, she has zero makeup on. She never ceases to amaze me. Zero makeup and still looks like a goddess.

“Good morning,” I say when she finally looks at me.

“Good morning,” she smiles.

“How’d you sleep?”

Her cheeks redden and I know that her night was as rough as mine. I regretted leaving her room without at least tasting her. It took everything in me to not go back over to her room and devour her. I almost slept in my office just so I knew I’d stick to my words. Mia wasn’t the kind of woman who should just be fucked. She deserved to be wined, dined, and spoiled.

“Hungry?” I ask, helping her dodge my question.

“Mmhmm,” she nods.

“This way.”

I gesture down the hallway to our left and we begin heading toward the dining room. I want to fill the silence with words; however, I’m not sure which words would be comforting to her. Hell, I’m not even sure if she’s a morning person.

“Are you usually a morning person?” I ask like an idiot. She giggles faintly.

“Where I’m from, you don’t have a choice in being a morning person or not. Your butt better get up and help out with the morning chores,” she laughs.

“Ah. I see,” I chuckle. “So you grew up on a farm?”

“Sadly, yes. Not a big farm though,” she assures me and I see her shake her head out of the corner of my eye. “I don’t think we ever had more than a hundred cows at one time.”

“That’s a lot of damn cows.”

“That’s nothing compared to the big farms.”

“Ah. I see.”

“That’s like your catchphrase when you don’t know what to say, huh?” she asks.

“Is it?” I laugh.

“Sorry. That was super rude,” she groans.

“Not rude at all. I find your honesty refreshing.”

It’s the truth. Not many people are this blunt with me. But then again, that’s my fault. Or maybe it’s my father’s fault since he created me into this monster. He taught me to rule with an iron fist and never show anyone my weaknesses or let them question my weaknesses.

“But still, I need to be more mindful,” she sighs. “You’re like a… Well, I’m not sure what your title is exactly; however, I know it’s an important one and scares the hell out of those who work for you.”

“Scares them?”

“Ugh. There I go again. Sorry. I got very little sleep and I’m nervous.”

“Relax, Mia,” I say, placing my hand on the small of her back. She tenses briefly and then relaxes in the next breath. We continue walking through the hallway, small-chatting about nothing of importance.

When we arrive at the dining room, the dining staff is lined up inside, waiting to serve breakfast. Mia looks around and blushes as I escort her to her seat. Once she is seated, I take my seat at the head of the table and signal for breakfast to be served.
