“Jeez, chill. It’s not like there’s a test at the end.”

“Actually, there will be,” he told her as he opened one of her compartments and drew out the box of tampons.

She groaned. Rather dramatically. “Seriously?”

“Yes.”

“Does everyone have to take a test?”

“No. Just you.”

“You’re a knob.”

“You know, you really shouldn’t insult the person giving you the test.” He squeezed the item in his hand. Which exploded all over his hand.

“Hey!” She jumped up. “What did my shampoo ever do to you?”

“Uh, sorry.”

Jack gave him a look as if he thought Ian was losing his mind.

Ian was pretty certain he already had.

“How about I finish searching through the luggage while you go clean up?” Jack suggested. “Then you can quiz Ms. Albany.”

Urgh, fine.

Darn it.There was too much to read and remember in this agreement. Reading had never been her strong suit. She was a person of action.

Well, that wasn’t true. She loved reading romance books.

Sitting still and reading through something this dry and dull was torture.

Although there were some interesting rules. For example, women in Escana were escorted everywhere by a guardian or one of their men.

Uncle Willy had told her how cherished and protected women were, but she’d thought that his memories of the place were hazy. As it had been years since he’d lived here.

And she’d never paid much attention when Escana was in the news.

There were several rules around what she could and couldn’t do. She wasn’t to go anywhere without a security guard. No private meetings. That was weird. She had to tell her guards immediately if she was in any danger or felt ill.

Huh. These rules weren’t exactly what she was expecting.

“All right, that’s all done.”

She glanced up to see that Jack was zipping her suitcase. Whew, he hadn’t found her vibrator or Ziggy, then. “What? No strip search?”

“That part comes next.” Jack winked at her.

Uh-oh.

Bloody hell. She’d been joking.

Ian and Jack were definitely off the list.

So was Athena. That was the name of the woman who’d conducted the strip search. She’d been thorough. Very thorough.
