The Princess's Billionaire

Chapter 5

HE AND Janice finished on the lake

before the others returned from the

river and she suggested going

swimming.

“Haven’t you spent enough time in

the water?” Eagle asked, having to

admit privately that he had enjoyed

his time on the water more than he

ever had in the past.

Janice shrugged, smiling. “I love water.

Maybe I should have been born a

dolphin.”

“Oh, no. I think you make a perfect

woman.” Eagle had to stifle a growl.

He should not have said that.

Things were getting out of hand

with his princess. But he couldn’t

deny the warmth that shot through

him as her smile increased wattage.

“Thank you,” she said happily

without a hint of a woman’s usual

coyness at such a compliment.

They pulled the kayaks up onto the

shore, took off their slim life vests

and jumped back into the water. At

least he did, but when he turned to

see where Janice was, she was on the

beach still, peeling off the Neoprene

suit she’d been wearing to kayak in.

The very brief bikini she wore

underneath made the air stall in

Eagle’s chest.

Damn. She had a luscious figure.

Her breasts were a little oversized,

her waist tiny above the flare of her

hips, her legs toned and smooth.

And that damned scrap of cloth that

passed for bikini bottoms showed

way more skin than it covered and

clung to the perfect curve of her

backside. She kicked the wet suit

aside and walked back into the

water.

She stopped a few feet from him, her

head cocked to one side, her doe-

brown gaze questioning. “Something

wrong?”

“Uh—” He had to clear his throat.

“No. Nothing. You sure you don’t

want to wear your Neoprene to swim

in? It’s warm for spring, but not

exactly hot out here.”

“I’m fine.” But she shuddered with a

full body shiver, belying her words.
