Page 4 of Camila's Dom
Aubrey’s eyebrows rose.“Who’s Shana?”
“She’s one of our staff.”
“Like a maid?”Penelope asked in disbelief.
“Yes.We have a few.This is a very large house, and it takes many people to run it the way we’d like.”He squeezed Camila and waited until she looked up at him.“Right, love?”
She tried to smile.“Yes.We couldn’t do it without them.Besides, they’re all a part of the family.”
Drake chuckled.“Yes, they are.”
He turned and started leading Camila into the house, leaving the women to get their bags and follow.
He grinned when he caught them grumbling about doing it themselves.
When he glanced down at Camila and saw the worry on her face, he bent and pressed a kiss on her forehead.“Everything’s going to be okay,” he whispered.
She exhaled and nodded.“With you beside me, I feel safe.”
“Good.”
They walked into the house before he called out for Shana.He’d made the staff aware of what was going on.Their maid, Shana, was the toughest of the bunch, and she asked to deal with the sisters because she wouldn’t take any shit and would take pleasure in making their stay as uncomfortable as possible.
Shana walked into the foyer just as Camila’s sisters walked into the house.
He looked at the sisters.“After you get settled in your room, bring down the papers you need signed, and we’ll take care of that.”
He caught the look between the sisters.He’d already guessed they were trying to get Camila’s inheritance from her uncle George, and now, he was sure.
“Well, we’d like to talk with her alone if possible?”Penelope said.
Camila stiffened, and his grip on her tightened, reassuring her.
“I’ll give you the office.”He looked down at Camila.“Would that be okay, love?”
She nodded.They’d discussed this before the sisters arrived and decided that Camila would tell them that she’d like to review it before signing anything.
Drake also planned to have Shana outside the door, and he instructed her to interrupt them when, not if, the sisters started to get nasty.
“Camila will see you as soon as you come down, but then there are a few things out in the barns she needs to look at when she gets a chance.”
“Like what?”Aubrey asked.
“A few of the horses.”
Penelope wrinkled her nose.“You still like those dirty creatures?”
Camila nodded.“Yes.They are beautiful animals.”
Both sisters snorted and rolled their eyes.
Drake had had enough.“Shana, can you take these two to their rooms, please?”
Shana nodded.“Of course, sir.”She looked at the women with an expression that was almost disdainful.“Please follow me.”
Drake had to bite the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing as Shana walked off, and the women had to scramble to get their bags and follow her up the stairs.Once they were out of sight, he pulled Camila into another room, shut and locked the door, and pinned her to the wall with his body.
“How is my little sub doing?”He studied her face and didn’t like the tension that tightened her features.
