It had been three days since Boss made his proposition: either I sleep with him or I get fired.
I needed one more day’s pay to cover Elva’s most recent bill. Once I had that, I could resign and hopefully find something else.
Boss trailed his eyes down the length of my body. Staring openly at my breasts, he licked his lips. “Don’t think I won’t, Piper. I’ll be waiting for you.”
In the restaurant, all of the female patrons talked excitedly about the selection. To cater to them, Boss turned all of the televisions on the walls to the royal consort ceremony broadcast.
“Which one do you think is the most handsome?” asked one patron to her friends.
They’d ordered a plate of loaded nachos to share. I carefully placed it in the center of their table.
Another girl spoke quickly. “Are you kidding? The others are cute, sure, but Nicholas is obviously the hottest.”
The other girls quickly agreed.
Startled, I hovered at their table. They were right, of course. Nicholas was the most objectively attractive, but to hear people talk about him so casually still surprised me.
For three days, I’d tried to reconcile in my mind that the Nicholas I had known was also the eldest prince of the kingdom. But I still couldn’t quite manage it.
Nicholas had always been proper. But a prince?
“Piper, is it?” one of the girls at the table asked me. I jumped, realizing I was still standing there. Yet before I could apologize, she asked me, “Which one do you think is the most handsome?”
“Nicholas,” came my automatic answer. “Excuse me.”
Embarrassed at having been caught daydreaming, I forced myself to focus on work. And I succeeded – until I heard Nicholas’ voice come from the speakers.
“The kind of woman I’d prefer?” Nicholas said. “Someone loyal. Strong. Even tempered. And she has to like to children.”
“Check, check, and check,” came a voice from the table of girls. “He’s describing me! It’s meant to be.”
“Dream on. He’s clearly describing me.”
“You don’t even like kids!”
