In the end, they’d each said their piece, and spent the rest of the evening making up the way they enjoyed best, which meant she was now naked and burrowed into him.
Kaspar shifted again and Jesska groaned, but didn’t fully awaken. “Kaz here.”
“It’s Kade. We have a problem.”
Kaspar frowned. “What kind of problem?”
“We know who the threat is.”
He sat up. “Who?”
“Not over the phone,” Kade said. “We’re on our way to Edinburgh. We’ll be there in a few hours.”
“Where do you want to meet?”
“We’ll meet you at Connall’s place. Niall has the address. Dinner.”
“Okay,” Kaspar said, and hung up.
“Who was that?” Jesska asked sleepily.
“No one, baby. Go back to sleep.”
She curled her hand around his belly and sighed, her even breathing sounding within minutes. Kaspar’s thoughts ran rampant with what Kade could possibly tell him. With their less than cordial relationship, Kaspar had a feeling it must be pretty extreme if Kade thought it was important to have a face-to-face meeting.
“What’s extreme, baby?” Jesska asked, stroking his neck.
He sighed, rolling her gently to her back and kissing her neck. “Nothing.”
She moved her head away from him and frowned. “Huh-uh. We don’t play that game, Kaz. Something’s wrong.”
Kaspar shifted onto his back again and dragged his hands down his face. “Kade is on his way from Inverness. They know who the threat is.”
Jesska gasped, sitting up on her knees. “Who?”
“He wouldn’t tell me over the phone.” He settled a hand on her hip. “We have to meet up with Niall at some point today, and he will direct us to Connall’s home.”
“Why Connall’s home?”
“Probably because he’s Kade’s brother.”
“Are you worried?”
He stared up at his mate, totally uninhibited in her nakedness, her hair falling around her shoulders, her face tight with concern. “I’m not sure what I am.”
“Do you think we’re in danger?”
“I wouldn’t worry about that, baby. You will never be in danger.”
“But will you?”
“I don’t know,” he said, honestly.
Jesska ran her hand across his abdomen. “But we’re safe right now.”
“Absolutely.”
She smiled and straddled him, leaning down to kiss him. “Then a distraction is in order. We can worry when we need to worry.”
