Chapter Ten

Lucy

I hadn’t worn this dress in a year at least. I wasn’t even sure if it would fit. Swinging a hammer while chiseling rock adds some muscle. It was a black, one-shoulder Manhattan gown. It hugged my body all the way down. I didn’t have a strapless bra that would work with it, which means my nipples would show if it was cold. At least I wore panties. Black ones.

Daniel Miller will not see these panties.

That was a promise to myself.

I just hoped I could keep it.

I added some heels, some sparkly earrings, and I tied my hair back with a single band, gathered at the nape of my neck. I didn’t usually put on much makeup, but I found myself putting some on. For Daniel? I hated to admit it.

But we weren’t going to have sex tonight.

“Are you ready, Lucy?” I heard Daddy call.

“Yes, Daddy. Just one minute more.” I puffed some perfume in the air and walked through it, the way I’d read about in a magazine.

I hurried carefully to the garage where Daddy waited for me with the car running. I slipped in and tried to fasten my seatbelt.

“Are you sure you need to come?” he asks, pausing, uncertain.

Does he wonder what Mr. Miller really wants with me? This dress isn’t exactly what an assistant would wear to a work meeting. “I can stay home if you want,” I say, half hoping he’ll say yes, half dreading it.

“No.” He comes to a decision. “You have a way with people. Always have. You’ll smooth over any awkward moments. I’m still not to sure of my position.”

Daniel’s house was in an exclusive part of the city. Gated entryway and roaming security guards. Not a place that the average person could afford. Daniel must have been doing very well at being an Ice Man.

The house was an absolute mansion. It must have had a dozen bedrooms—well, maybe not, but that’s what it seemed like. A woman in a housekeeper’s uniform greeted us at the door.

“Mr. Miller is waiting up on the balcony for you,” she said pleasantly. “Oh, and I’m Ira. Please let me or the other staff know if you need anything.”

She led us to the grand staircase and just pointed upward. She then disappeared through a service doorway.

“Are you ready, Lucy?” asked Daddy. He took my arm in his and we went slowly up the stairs. Slow, because I was in heels, but also because Daddy didn’t do stairs so well. I worried about his heart.

“Ah, you made it, I see,” said Daniel, greeting us at the top of the stairs. “This way, please.” He led us through a few doorways and to an open balcony that looked out onto the back garden of his property. It was perfectly landscaped. A lush swimming pool with a fountain occupied a prime spot on one end of the grounds.

A girl in a simple black dress appeared with a tray of wine glasses. She offered each of us a glass, and then vanished as quickly as she had appeared.
