      “I found some loose planks on the porch. They could be dangerous.”

      “You’re handy with a hammer?”

      “You sound surprised. Actually, I had a lot of odd jobs in my younger days. My uncle believed in hard work and I was always employed during my college years.”

      “Doing?”

      “All sorts of things. Remind me to tell you about the time I worked at a strip club in Miami.”

      “You were a stripper?”

      The image of him shedding his clothes made her mouth water.

      “I didn’t say that. But I sure got a quick education.” Her eye fluttered and he squeezed her hand. “There’s that wink again. I’m very happy you’re here, Portia.”

      “It’s not a wink,” she assured him.

      He smiled again and released her hand. Breath quietly swooshed out of her mouth.

      “Let me assure you, the inside of the house is in better shape than the outside. Bella and James had two bedrooms renovated upstairs and my crew made sure the kitchen and living space are clean and functioning.”

      She flinched at the mention of the bedrooms and slid a glimpse at Eduardo, who was removing her luggage, appearing stoic as ever. “That’s...fine.”

      She only wished that Juan Carlos would button his shirt so that she could breathe freely again.

      Eduardo stopped at the steps with her two suitcases. “Just leave them. I’ll take it from here,” Juan Carlos said. “Thanks, Eduardo.”

      The man nodded, but it looked more like a bow. “Your Highness.”

      Juan Carlos rolled his eyes.

      She chuckled. It would take him a while to get used to being royalty.

      “Stop laughing,” he whispered out of earshot of his bodyguard.

      “I’ll try,” she whispered back. “Not promising anything.”

      He shook his head but grinned like a schoolboy.

      She was up against massive charm and a killer body.

      “Let me show you around.” Juan Carlos took her arm and guided her inside.

      The living room was cozy with a large brick fireplace and old wood floors that looked as though they’d been scoured and polished. A new patterned rug was laid down between two sofas covered with floral tapestry pillows. The smell of fresh drying paint filled the room.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
