Ari smiled. “She’s always been brilliant. A lawyer. Perfect for her. It doesn’t surprise me that she chose that.”
“She was good at arguing her case, eh?”
“Always.” Ari swore. “I can’t believe I have to wait.”
Kaspar squeezed his shoulder. “It’ll give you a chance to settle in. You can see her tonight.”
Ari scowled, but said nothing as he faced the window. Kaspar felt and understood his frustration. The thought of being kept from Jesska wouldn’t sit well with him, either, so he could imagine how Ari felt. He pulled out his phone and scrolled to Jesska’s number.
*Are you having fun?*
It took a few minutes, but his heart leapt when his phone buzzed.
*Code for: are you safe, right? I’m breaking the laws of movie-dom right now, Kaz. I’m fine and Channing Tatum is sexy as hell. Now leave me alone so I can concentrate on his six-pack.*
He frowned.
*But I love you, even though you worry too much. Megan says hi.*
Kaspar stared at the phone and then typed, *You’re with your sister?*
*Yep, she surprised me and Adalyn. How’s your brother?*
*Both of them are here.*
*Ari’s with you too?*
*Yes.*
*Gotta go, movie starting. Shutting down my phone, you won’t be able to reach me. Love you.*
*I love you, too.* Kaspar smiled. *And stop looking at another man’s six-pack.*
Her response was an emoticon sticking out its tongue and then radio silence. He slipped his phone into his pocket just as Austri pulled into the hotel parking lot.
Without conversation, the brothers made their way to the floor, Kaspar’s staff waiting for them, their heads bowed as the brothers entered Kaspar’s suite. Ari and Gunnar both had personal valets who unpacked for the them while the brothers showered, agreeing to meet with Kaspar when they were finished.
They arrived at his suite less than an hour later.
“Any word on Megan?” Ari asked as he sat in one of the chairs next to the sofa.
Kaspar debated whether or not to lie by omission.
“Kaz?” he pressed.
“She’s with Jesska at the movies,” he admitted.
Ari shot out of his seat. “Take me to her.”
Kaspar shook his head. “I promised Jess I’d give her some time with her friend. I won’t go back on my word.”
Ari swore, advancing on his brother with a look that would have made most men cower. “I want to see my mate, Kaspar. You’ll take me to her now.”
“I can—”
His response was cut off when a knock came at his door. Kaspar pulled it open to Megan, who stormed inside and threw herself into Ari’s arms before stepping away and slapping him... hard.
“I can’t believe you lied to me!” she snapped.
