Chapter Eleven

The next day was supposed to be our first play session, so what did he want from me that night?

I had the servant wait outside as I changed from the nightie into a dress. I didn't even pay attention to the colour or the cut. I was so distracted by curiosity.

Following the servant to Nathaniel's rooms, I had the most startling thought. It might have been the increasingly Gothic paintings down the hallways that led to his rooms. It may have been a fear of the unknown.

Or it could have been suddenly remembering the conversation he and Mr. Wrightworth had had during that first meeting while I was sitting mute on the sidelines. My mind was bringing up everything from that meeting and wondering if that would be done to me now.

I found myself wondering if this was the point where I would come to regret not going with the homicidal maniac. Between my room and Nathaniel's, I bounced back and forth on the possibility that Nathaniel might be worse than the maniac.

Maybe he was the maniac, and I would have ended up with him either way.

So far with Nathaniel, nothing had been a task. Maybe weird, but never something I wouldn't have done. I was waiting for the ax to drop, so to speak. Nothing is perfect. Nothing is exactly what you want it to be. Even if you were picked from a long list of women and supposedly met every qualification on a man's list.

That's not saying that a woman should meet a list of requirements that a man has. Unless those requirements are 'clean' and 'sane.' In my experience, many men who have a shopping list that they compare women to are bad news. Nathaniel claimed to have only made up the list to help the Program narrow down the candidates, as their first suggestions were terminally ill men and old women.

So he claimed that he had to narrow it down. But height, weight, and breast size were on there. I think he was just trying to soothe my ego when he said that.

Good thing he matched my shopping list for a man as well.

The door to the room stood open as we approached. The servant made a motion for me to go in but didn't attempt to himself. He stayed on the outside of the door.

Taking a small breath, I crossed the threshold.

Nathaniel's rooms—he had a set of them—were filled with furniture. There was a grand hearth to one side with seating around it. Behind the seating was an ottoman. At the end of the bed was another ottoman. There was even one just sitting across the bedroom from the hearth.

He may have said that he didn't have a playroom, but Nathaniel had set up his bedroom to be a playroom. The ottomans were both furniture and contained toys. They were just high enough off the floor that a woman about my height could kneel and lay her torso across, presenting her backside to Nathaniel.
