“Sire,” Camilla said, and followed the server into the room.
Kaspar nodded in greeting.
“Hi, Camilla,” Jesska said.
The assistant smiled. “M’lady.”
Jesska still wasn’t used to being called “m’lady,” but she didn’t react quite so shocked anymore. Camilla organized their meal and then walked out of the room with the server.
“She really didn’t need to come all the way up here,” Jesska said.
Kaspar opened his mouth and then closed it again.
She raised an eyebrow. “What?”
“I’m choosing my words, and the words I thought about choosing were probably going to get me in trouble, so I am now choosing to stay quiet.”
Jesska giggled, standing on her toes to kiss his cheek. “Smart man.”
Kaspar grinned, holding her chair until she sat down.
Chapter Twelve
Dinner passed quickly, and Camilla returned to pick up the dishes, prompting Jesska to give Kaspar a reminding glance to speak with her.
“You know, I’m beat,” she said. “I’m going to head to my room.”
“Stay, baby,” he said.
“I should leave you alone for this.” She smiled. “Come find me later.”
He frowned, but then shook his head and kissed her quickly. Jesska walked out the door, surprised by Jóvin, who was lurking.
“Hi, Jóvin,” she said with a smile.
“M’lady.”
“You’re never going to call me Jesska are you?”
He smiled and used his keycard to open her door. “No, m’lady.”
He held the door open for her and Jesska headed into her suite, relieved Jóvin didn’t follow her. She walked into her bathroom, filled up the large soaker tub, and set her phone next to it while she removed her clothing. Pinning her hair on top of her head, she poured in the jasmine oil Kaspar had bought her, removed her makeup, and then slid into the heat of the water.
She’d almost fallen asleep again when her phone buzzed and, without opening her eyes, she answered it. “Hello?”
“What are you doing?”
“Taking a bath.” She heard Kaspar let out a long breath and she grinned. “Naked.”
“Yes, it’s generally a good idea to be naked while taking a bath.”
She grinned. “Stop picturing me naked.”
“No,” he said, and Jesska heard the smile in his voice.
She sighed and sank lower in the tub. “Did you talk to Camilla?”
“I did.”
