“They’re going in order.”
“What do you mean?” he asked.
She pointed to where one of the scars used to be on her arm. “This is where I made my first cut.” Then she pointed to the scar on the inside of her thigh, already fading. “That was the cut that got me admitted to the psych ward.” She blinked up at him. “They’re all going away. Like whatever you did to heal my soul, is working to heal my body.”
“I don’t know that I had much to do with it.”
“Just take the credit, Kaz.” Jesska wrapped her arms around his waist and stroked his back. “I love you.”
“I love you, too, baby.”
Another wave of pain hit her, but Kaspar wouldn’t let her retreat from the shelter of his body. He pulled her closer and waited it out. The pain didn’t last as long this time and within an hour, it seemed the worst was over.
“Can I sleep now?” she whispered.
“If you’re tired, baby, sleep.”
She nodded against his shoulder and closed her eyes. Kaspar held her for as long as it took for her breathing to even out and her body to completely relax, before sliding from the bed and pulling on clothing. He snuck out of the room and Camilla rose to her feet from her seat.
“Sire,” she said. “How is she?”
“She’s sleeping.”
“Is she comfortable?”
“Já. Thank you for all your help.”
“It’s my pleasure, Your Majesty.”
Kaspar glanced at the clock on the wall. “The plane will not be back until tomorrow afternoon and will need time to refuel, so we won’t be able to leave until tomorrow evening.”
“Yes, Sire.”
“I think you should take the day tomorrow to explore.”
“Excuse me?”
“Take Jóvin, if that is acceptable to you, and see Portland. You don’t need to be back until five tomorrow afternoon to supervise packing.”
“I... I don’t really know what to say,” she said.
“Would you rather not?”
“No,” she rushed to say. “I’d love to. Thank you, Your Majesty.”
“I will make sure Jóvin has everything you need. For now, please take the rest of the night off. I can take care of Jesska.”
Camilla’s eyes widened and then she nodded and lowered her head. He didn’t miss her smile as she left the room, giving Kaspar much desired privacy.
Kaz?
He heard her voice in his head and turned to find Jesska standing in the bedroom doorway, the sheet draped around her and her hair a mess. He’d never seen a more beautiful sight. Did I wake you?
She gasped. “How did I hear you?”
We can speak telepathically now, baby.
That is so cool.
