He cupped her breast and she sucked in a deep breath.

“But maybe that does,” she whispered.

Kaspar chuckled and distracted her from feeling slighted by keeping her extremely satisfied in other areas.

Chapter Nineteen

Jesska’s focus was on the view out the window of the family jet as they started their descent into Bíldudalur. For the most part, it looked like a dinky little town next to water. Very pretty, but quite sparse.

Kaspar’s hand squeezing her thigh had her turning to face him. He smiled and linked his fingers with hers. “You wait.”

“Hmm?”

“Our home is hidden, sweetheart. Just wait.”

“I said nothing,” she argued.

“I can read your thoughts.”

“Damn it!” she ground out. “I forgot. I’m sorry, honey. I don’t want to sound negative about your home. I’m sure it’s lovely. I just don’t see much in the way of... well... people. Lots of water and beautiful fjord-type water, but no people.”

Kaspar laughed. “Our home.”

“Right. Our home.”

“What’s so funny over there?” Megan asked.

Megan, Sophia, and Ari were with them this time around. Gunnar chose to stay in Edinburgh with Kenna for a time.

“Jesska hates our home,” Kaspar said.

She punched his arm. “I do not! Don’t listen to him, Megan.”

“Just wait, sister,” Ari said. “You will be awed.”

“See?” Kaspar said, and smiled.

“For the record,” she said, squeezing his bicep, “I never said anything about hating anything.”

Kaspar grinned as he kissed her. “I’m just busting your pork, baby.”

Jesska laughed. “Chops, honey. You’re busting my chops.”

“Yðar hátign, vinsamlegast undurbúðu þig fyrir lendingu,” the captain said over the loudspeaker. (Your Majesty, please prepare for landing.)

Kaspar reached over to make sure Jesska was buckled and then kissed her before the plane landed smoothly and taxied to the tiny gate at the airstrip. Jesska’s heart raced in excitement as they departed the plane and climbed into two awaiting SUVs. She and Kaspar in one; Ari, Megan, and Sophia in the other.

“Aren’t they coming with us?” she asked.

“Yes, baby,” Kaspar assured her. “They will be staying with us for a little while. Don’t worry.”

Jesska smiled and relaxed. The tiny fishing town really wasn’t much to speak of, but she kept an open mind as the car pulled up to what looked like one-hundred-foot, solid-wood gates in the middle of a giant rock wall. The doors slowly slid open, and Jesska squeezed Kaspar’s arm.

“I feel like I’m heading into Jurassic Park right now.” She raised an eyebrow. “Please tell me you don’t live on an island surrounded by dinosaurs. Those velociraptors were mean little suckers.”

Kaspar laughed. “I don’t know what Jurassic Park is or how it pertains, but we don’t have any dinosaurs anywhere near our home.”

Jesska’s mouth dropped open. “You haven’t seen Jurassic Park?”
