CHAPTER 14

RODRIGO

“Georgia?” I knocked lightly on her bedroom door and held my breath, waiting for a response. When a few quiet moments passed, I knocked again.

Still no answer.

Turning away from the door, I considered where else to look for her in the house. I’d had an intercom system installed years earlier, but it was currently on the fritz and awaiting repairs. Which meant that now you had to find people in the home the old-fashioned way.

If I were Georgia in the late afternoon after a long day of work, where would I go?

Immediately, images of her sunning on the beach and relaxing in a bubble bath filled my mind. They weren’t exactly innocent images, either. Squeezing my eyes shut, I willed them away.

Laughter broke through my walls, and at first I thought I’d imagined it. Opening my eyes, though, I followed the sound to a window overlooking the backyard.

Sebastián and Georgia were on the grass, running around and shooting each other with dart guns. Sebastián giggled relentlessly, while Georgia smiled big.

As I watched, Georgia hid behind a tree as Sebastián pursued her. When he came close to her hiding spot, she slipped around the side of the tree and shot him in the back.

“Not fair!” Sebastián shouted, although he also squealed in glee.

Georgia took off across the yard, with him running right after her.

Seeing the two of them so happy together made my heart feel light. The last few days of working with Georgia had been extremely productive. She’d proven an even more valuable asset than I’d expected her to be.

The only mistake that had been made was on my part. I’d let my feelings take lead that first afternoon in her office. Lost in her blue eyes, I’d nearly done something unforgivable.

Then again… if I had kissed Georgia, would she have kissed back?

The thought made my head spin. I could nearly feel her smooth skin against mine, her full lips pressed against my mouth…

I shook away the thought. Georgia had given no indication that she was interested, and I was her boss. It didn’t matter how I felt about her. If I really cared, then I would back up and give her some space.

Opening the window, I shouted down into the yard. “Hey, you warriors! It is dinner time!”

Georgia looked up at me, and that was her downfall: Sebastián got her right in the chest with a dart.

“Oh, no!” she wailed, hand pressed to her heart as she collapsed.

“I’m sorry,” I laughed. “That was my fault!”

From her position on the ground, she gave me a thumbs-up while Sebastián danced around in glee.

In the nook off the kitchen, Melba waited for us, playing a game on her phone. Steam wafted off the dishes courtesy of our cook. I’d asked for a special dinner tonight in order to impress Georgia, and she’d provided exactly that with picadillo, baked pineapple, and a fresh coconut cake.

“Did you wash your hands?” Melba put her phone down and peered at Sebastián.

He wiggled them for inspection. “Yes.
