“Catarina.”

“Yes?”

“Shut up.”

So much for getting to his heart through his stomach—but then she didn’t have to get to his heart, she had only to get to his brain. And, for allJake’s surliness, she had to admit he did seem to have a brain.

“Jake?”

“Yes?”

“Jake.” She took a deep breath. “I’ve been thinking.”

“In your case, always a dangerous activity.”

She decided to ignore the taunt. “You’re not exactly thrilled to have me as a responsibility.” He didn’t answer. Well, she hadn’t expected him to correct her. Still, it wouldn’t have killed him to be polite. “And I,” she added, “am not exactly thrilled to find myself your ward.”

“Amazing.We have something in common after all.”

“So, as I said, I’ve been thinking.”

Jakelooked at her. “There’s no way out of this,” he said quietly.“None at all. You need a husband. I need to find you one. And we have precious little time in which to do it.”

She nodded. “I know. But remember what you said before? About our cultures being different?”

“Did I say that?”

“Yes. We were talking about Brazilian men and American men. I said Brazilian men cheated on their wives, and you said—”

“I said a lot of things. Then I kissed you.”

Silence filled the room. Their eyes met. “Yes,” Cat said, after a while, “you did.”

“That’s not going to happen anymore.”

She stared at him.“Why not?”

“Because…”Jakelooked deep into those questioning eyes and understood the reason for his anger.

“Because,” he said gently, “it’s wrong. I’m your guardian. My job is to look out for your welfare.”

“Surely it doesn’t hurt my welfare if you kiss me?”

Was she that naïve? Or was she playing a game? His gaze dropped to her mouth, so pink and soft and sweet. Naïve or not, he had to be more careful in his dealings with her.
