“I don’t know, sweetheart, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.”
She sighed and stepped away from him. “You just want me at your beck and call.”
He raised an eyebrow. “For what purpose?”
“Because you feel the need to kiss me... all the freakin’ time,” she retorted.
Kaspar chuckled. “Perhaps you’re not far from the truth.”
“Perhaps?” she challenged.
He closed the distance between them again and pulled her into his arms, kissing her deeply. She looped her arms around his neck and slipped her fingers into his hair. “This is exactly what I was talking about,” she said, smiling against his lips.
“Well, if you don’t like it, sweetheart, I’ll stop.”
“Don’t you dare.”
Kaspar chuckled and kissed her again.
She broke the kiss and stared up at him as she continued to run her fingers through his hair. “Did you see Jason? Is that why you came?”
“First I felt your panic, then when I saw the man in the photo approach and...” He shook his head. “I’m sorry I wasn’t here sooner.”
“What are you talking about?” She wrinkled her nose. “Jason didn’t stand a chance.”
Kaspar ran his knuckles down her cheek. “If he’d done anything to you...”
“He didn’t,” she rushed to say. “Look, maybe I should go and stay with Adalyn for a few days.”
“Who’s Adalyn?”
“My best friend,” Jesska said. “She would be happy to let me crash, and I could help with her daughter.”
He frowned. “I’m not comfortable with that.”
“Why not?”
“Because, what if the people who are after Megan and Sophie are watching you and they go after her?”
Jesska bit her lip. “I didn’t think about that.”
“Will you please come to the hotel with me so that I can protect you?”
She studied him for several tense seconds before nodding. “Yes, I’ll come with you.”
He kissed her again. “Thank you.”
She smiled and pointed to her suitcase. “I’m ready whenever you are.”
He pulled out his cell phone. “Austri will take your bag.”
“I can take it.”
Kaspar smiled as he opened the door to admit Austri, who grabbed her bag without comment.
“Or he can,” she grumbled.
“If you need anything else, we’ll buy it, or Austri will come back and pick it up this weekend.”
