“Oh.” She smiled, burrowing against him again. “Thank you.”

“And as far as the threat goes, Jason is still in jail, so he can’t touch you for the moment. We have not located who is after Ása... ah... Sophia, so until we do, you’ll stay here.”

She pushed herself up, settling her chin on her hands splayed on his chest. “Why do I feel like this is going to be a more permanent situation than I originally thought?”

“Because you’re extremely smart.”

She settled her head back on his chest. “Well, my lease isn’t up for another three months, so I’ll have to go back there until then.”

“I’ll buy out your lease.”

“No, you won’t.”

He gave her a gentle squeeze, not in the mood to argue. Jesska’s phone pealed in the quiet and he reached for her purse behind him.

“Thanks,” she said, and pulled out her phone. “Cam? Hey, you okay?” She sat up and crossed her legs. “Yes. Megan’s here. Seriously?”

Kaspar sat up, feeling her worry. He texted his brothers and Austri.

“Yes, I’m with him. Okay, we’ll stay put. Where’s Sophia?”

She glanced at Kaspar as he got up and opened his door. Gunnar walked in.

“Okay, yes, bring her by,” Jesska said.

Kaspar’s phone buzzed, and he saw Dalton Moore’s number come up. “Kaspar here.”

“Hey, it’s Dalton Moore. You need to close ranks.”

“Okay,” he said carefully.

“Megan and Sophia’s accident wasn’t an accident. We’re closing in on the who, and then we’ll figure out the why.”

“Skít,” he snapped. “Where am I meeting you?”

“You’re not coming.”

“I am.”

“No, Kaspar, you’re not,” Moore stressed. “You’re to stay in your royal compound and my men and I will take care of this.”

Kaspar expressed his opinion in Icelandic, causing his brother to raise an eyebrow.

“I’ll call you when I know something.” Moore hung up.

A knock at his door brought Ari and Megan, and Kaspar didn’t miss that Ari’s shirt was on backwards and Megan’s hair had been hastily put back into place.

“What’s wrong?” Ari asked.

“Cameron’s bringing Sophia here,” Jesska explained.

“Why?” Megan asked.

“Because your accident wasn’t an accident,” Kaspar said.

“What?” Megan and Jesska said in stereo.

Ari wrapped his hand around the back of Megan’s neck and squeezed. “We’ll sort this out, sweetheart.”
