She closed her eyes, a shiver running through her. “Do you?” she whispered.
He nodded, kissing her neck. “I do.”
“Noted.”
He released her and took his seat again, and she spent the better part of their meal trying to figure out how to untangle Kaspar from her heart. He’d woven himself so completely into her life in such a short amount of time, she wasn’t entirely sure how, or even if she wanted, to cut him loose.
“I have to go, sweetheart,” he said, frowning at his phone.
“Go. I’m okay.”
“Are you sure?”
She nodded. “I’ll watch some bad soaps and maybe look for a job while you work.”
He chuckled. “Easing your way into being taken care of?”
“Something like that.”
“Do you want to go out for dinner, or stay in?”
She smiled. “Mmm, I don’t know. Out?”
He rose to his feet and bent down to kiss her. “Tell Camilla where you want to go and she’ll handle it.”
Jesska snorted. “What kind of executive assistant would I be if I couldn’t make a simple reservation?”
“Camilla will handle it.”
“Jesska will handle it,” she countered.
“Stubborn.”
“Bossy.”
He grinned and kissed her again. “If you need me, call me.”
“I won’t need you.”
He gripped his chest and groaned. “You wound me.”
Jesska giggled. “Oh, baby, how will I live without you for...” she looked at her watch, “...all of three hours until you figure you need to check on me?”
“It’ll be closer to four.”
She laid the back of her hand on her forehead and tipped her head back. “No! Not four. I can’t live without you for four.”
He stroked her cheek. “I love you, silly girl.”
She nodded, not sure how to respond. He loved her? Was that even possible in such a short amount of time? She watched him leave and then finished her food before stacking things in the hallway for the staff to retrieve. Sitting down with her laptop, she went about finding a job. The problem was, she couldn’t think about anything other than Kaspar’s words of devotion.
The man was irresistible, and she realized that she was falling in love with him. It was different than what she had with Seth. It was mature and deeper, and much, much scarier. It was forever.
Jesska felt soft lips on her cheek and sat up, colliding with Kaspar’s chin. “Oh, sorry,” she said.
“I didn’t mean to startle you, elskan. You just looked so sweet lying there asleep.”
She smiled and dragged her hands down her face. “What time is it?”
