She grinned. “Sorry. I thought you were my brother.”

Kaspar walked inside and Jesska let the door close behind him. He gave a wolf whistle. “You look beautiful.”

“Thank you,” she said. “I’m late, though, so Cam’s not going to be happy when he gets up here.”

“Your brother won’t be getting up here, baby.”

Jesska paused in securing her earrings. “What? Why not?”

“It’s a secure floor.”

She frowned. “But Cam should be allowed up here. My family, too.”

“Not how it works.”

“Well, can you make it work that way?”

He shook his head. “But I will walk you downstairs when your brother arrives.”

“Oh, thank you so much, my liege,” she droned.

Kaspar smiled, ignoring her snark. “Do you want me to come with you?”

She shook her head. “I think I really need to go without you today. I can’t explain it, I just feel like I need to.”

“Okay, baby.”

“Are you really okay?”

“Of course.” He smiled. “I wouldn’t say it if I wasn’t.”

“Thank you.”

“For?”

“For always being honest with me.”

He ran a knuckle down her cheek. “That’s the easy part.”

“So, so charming.”

Kaspar chuckled, reaching for his phone in his pocket. “Austri. Hmm, mmm. Já. I’ll walk her down.” He slipped his phone back in his pocket. “Your brother is here.”

Jesska rolled her eyes. “Yeah, picked up on that, thanks.”

“Come on. He’s waiting in the lobby.”

She grabbed her purse, keys, and a jacket and followed Kaspar out the door. He took her hand, linking his fingers with hers as they went downstairs, Austri following.

Arriving in the lobby, Kaspar handed her off to Cameron, shook his hand, and then kissed her quickly before watching her leave. She gave him a little wave as they walked out the front door and to Cameron’s awaiting car.

“You used your badge to park illegally,” she observed as she sat in the passenger seat. Cameron’s security badge sat on the dashboard.

“Membership has its privileges,” Cameron said, and closed her door.

Jesska giggled.

Cameron slid into the driver’s seat and started the car, pulling out onto the street and heading to the church on Ankeny. It didn’t take long and the parking gods were watching out for them. Someone pulled out just as they arrived and they got a spot very close to the entrance.
