“No.”
Why did he get the feeling she was lying to him?
“You shouldn’t lie to me.”
“Ian,” Jack said warningly.
“I liked the name Ian,” she said sadly. “I guess I’ll scratch that one off the list.”
“List of what?” Ian asked.
“Potential baby names.”
“You’re pregnant?” What the fuck? Why had no one told him? And where the hell was her man? Why had he let her travel all this way alone while she was pregnant?
“What? No. Are you saying I look pregnant? That’s rude.”
“I didn’t say that,” he retorted. Holy crap. How was this girl running rings around him? “You said Ian was on your baby list.”
“My best friend is pregnant. I’m making her a list of potential baby names. Ian is off.”
Jesus.
“What do you think of Jack?” Jack asked.
“That’s your name?” she asked.
Jack nodded with a smile.
“Hmm. It has potential.”
His smile widened into a grin.
Suck up. And no, that was not jealousy he was feeling.
“Why shouldn’t I lie to you? Because you’re a customs officer?” she asked, stealing his attention back.
No. Because it will get you a spanked bottom.
That was not something he could say.
“I’m not a customs officer. I’m part of the palace security.”
“Oh, you’re a bodyguard?”
“We prefer security specialist,” Jack told her. “But there’s no real customs department here as we don’t have that many visitors. Normally, someone from the palace security takes over that job. Your bags will also be screened and tested for drugs.”
“You do this to everyone?” she asked.
“Yes,” Ian said. “We can’t take risks with the royal family.”
“I guess I understand that. Only takes one looney, huh?”
“Yes,” Ian said dryly.
She watched him through narrowed eyes.
“Read the agreement,” he snapped.
