Jesska rolled to face him, checking for injuries.

“I’m fine, elskan,” he said, leaning down to kiss her with a smile. “Do you want to know the details now, or can I sleep?”

“Neither.”

“Oh?”

She smiled, pushing him onto his back and straddling him. “I will wait for details, but you’re not going to sleep.”

“We’re in Connall’s home.”

“So?” she challenged.

Kaspar ran his hands along her thighs. “They will hear.”

She leaned down and kissed his chest. “We’ll be very quiet,” she whispered.

“When are you ever quiet?”

Jesska lifted her head and raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”

He grinned. “I’m not complaining, baby. I’m simply pointing out that you’re very vocal about what you enjoy.”

“Well then you need to take care of me and figure out a way to keep me quiet.”

“Challenge accepted,” he quipped, and kissed her. “On your knees, face in the pillow,” he whispered and she obeyed.

As quietly as he could, he slid into her and he heard her whimper into the mattress. He smiled. He’d give her twenty seconds before she screamed. He just hoped, she did it into the bedding.

Goddamn, he wanted to slap her ass, but he knew it would be too loud, so he focused on giving her the best (and quietest) orgasm he could.

Once Kaspar succeeded in making love to his wife and keeping her from shouting the house down, he pulled her into his arms and ran his fingers along her naked hip.

“How did everything go?” she asked.

“Very tense, but I got several of the answers I wanted. Not so sure the brothers Gunnach did, however.”

“What does their father want?”

“He wants to take down his wife.”

“Why?”

“This whole mess started back in Iceland before Erik’s clan was exiled. Erik and Alice, although married in the traditional human sense, were not mates. Before he was sent to Scotland, Erik found his true mate, a human. He bound her, and she gave birth to Brodie. Instead of telling anyone about his mate, he hid her because she was human, but took Brodie to be raised by their clan.”

Jesska gasped. “How did he explain that?”

“He said Brodie was an orphan, but Alice knew the truth. Her response to his betrayal was to have an affair with a human man, and this produced Fiona.”

“Oh, my god, it’s like a soap opera.”

Kaspar chuckled. “Very much so.”

She settled her chin on his chest. “Is that why they were exiled?”

“Partly. Erik broke our laws by binding a human—”

“Which you have as well, may I point out—”
