Ari had a stupid grin on his face as he took in his mate. “Þú hefur ekki breyst, fallega.” (You haven’t changed, beautiful.)
Jesska frowned up in question to Kaspar, but didn’t say anything. He wrapped an arm around her and whispered the translation in her ear.
“Reyndu ekki að kalla mig fallega!” Megan snapped. (Don’t you dare call me beautiful!)
“Sweetheart, English. We’re being rude,” Ari said, the stupid grin still on his face as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
“I swear to god, Ari. You haven’t begun to see rude,” she snapped, and burst into tears.
“Let’s give them some privacy,” Jesska whispered, and made her way to Kaspar’s door, tugging on his hand.
Kaspar nodded to Gunnar, who followed them into the hallway. Kaspar guided Jesska forward. “Sweetheart, this is Gunnar.”
Jesska shook his hand. “It’s nice to meet you.”
“You too,” Gunnar said with a smile. “Well, I have a feeling this is going to take a while, so I’m going to do some work. Dinner tonight?”
“Perfect,” Kaspar said, and turned to Jesska as Gunnar walked away. “You didn’t finish your movie.”
Jesska sighed. “I know. I stupidly told Megan that Ari was here, and she hightailed it out of the theater so fast, I could barely catch her. Good thing it was a cheapie movie... we didn’t stop to get a refund... then there was traffic, and Megan was yelling, a lot. Then we had to drop Adalyn home, and Megan just kept getting more and more irritated. I probably should have driven.”
“You let her drive in that state?” he snapped.
“I didn’t have much of a choice, Kaz. I didn’t have my car with me, remember?”
“Let’s go to your room and discuss this privately,” he said, and grabbed her hand, tugging her toward her suite. He used his keycard and pushed open the door, standing back so she could precede him.
Jesska walked into the room, dropped her purse on the side table, and, as was her habit, slipped off her shoes before flopping onto the sofa. “I’m not fighting with you.”
He frowned and sat beside her. “I have no intention of fighting. I was momentarily concerned for your safety, but you’re here now and safe, so no fighting.”
“I don’t want a lecture either.”
He chuckled. “No lecture.”
She reached over and lifted his T-shirt.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“Well, I didn’t get to see Channing Tatum’s abs, so figured you could show me yours.”
Kaspar laughed and shifted, pulling her on top of him while he settled his feet on the coffee table. “You can look at me anytime you like. In fact, I’d prefer it.”
“You smell good. You always smell good.” Jesska snuggled against his chest and kissed his neck. “I missed you.”
“You did?”
“I did. You’re growing on me.”
He chuckled. “I’m glad.”
“Any news on the ‘threat’ front?” She glanced up at him. “You let me go to the movies without the muscle, so you must feel I’m safe.”
“You weren’t without the muscle, baby.”
“I wasn’t?”
“No. I have just instructed them to be less conspicuous.”
