“Yes, Your Majesty. What would you like to wear today?”
“I can take care of that.”
“It would be my pleasure, Your Majesty.”
Jesska bit the inside of her cheek to keep from groaning out loud. “Jeans, the ones with the S on the back pockets, and the long-sleeved blue T-shirt.”
“Anything else?”
Jesska felt the heat creep up her neck. “The underwear I’ll handle.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Jesska let out the quiet breath she didn’t realize she was holding. The thought of someone choosing undies for her was a bit much. She figured Gíta probably picked up on that.
Jesska grabbed her unmentionables and slipped back into the bathroom. She brushed out her hair and then wrapped her towel back around her, even though she wasn’t entirely naked, before heading back into the bedroom. She found Kaspar sitting at the table, pouring a cup of coffee. “Hi,” she said.
“Hi.” He rose to his feet and grinned. “Why are you in a towel?”
“Because I’m not an exhibitionist.” He laughed as she glanced around the room. “Gíta’s gone?”
“Yes. I let her know we’d talk with her later,” he said. “I’ll also speak to the staff.”
Jesska slipped the towel off. “I don’t want to hurt her feelings, Kaz. But I have been dressing myself for as long as I can remember, and I like the idea of our room being just for us.”
“You won’t hurt her feelings, elskan.” He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. “And I agree with keeping our suites private. Unless we’re not in here or want room service. Deal?”
Jesska giggled. “Deal.”
“Come and eat, sweetheart, and then we’ll plan our day.”
“Don’t you have to work?”
“My work is done for now,” he said. “I’m all yours.”
“Yay.” She grinned. “Okay, I’m starving. I’m assuming you’ll be joining me, since there appears to be two of everything?”
“You’re incredibly smart, elskan.”
Jesska patted his bottom as she walked by him and sat at the table. He joined her and they took their time before joining Megan, Sophia, and Ari downstairs.
Jesska sat in the library with her laptop and signed off a Skype call to Adalyn. They’d talked for almost an hour, and it had been a much needed catch-up with her best friend. Ari had taken Megan and Sophia into “town”—the Kalt Einn town hidden in plain view behind Kaspar’s home, not the tiny town they’d flown into.
Jesska had been surprised to find out that there were tunnels that led from their house to the fjord where they could travel by ferry—or boat if you had one, which Kaspar did—to the Kalt Einn village on an island not far from them. Outside of helicopters, there was no other air travel onto the island and, once on the island, there were no cars allowed. The most popular mode of transport was by horse and buggy. Megan, being a horse lover, jumped at the chance to visit, so Ari took them over early that morning. They planned to stay in the village all day, not returning until after dinner. Jesska had chosen to stay behind, wanting to experience it with Kaspar.
A knock at the door brought Camilla. “M’lady?”
“Hi, Camilla. Is everything okay?”
“Yes, m’lady. Elna was wondering if she might have a word with you.”
Jesska stood and bit her lip. “Elna is the housekeeper, right?” she whispered.
Camilla smiled. “Yes, m’lady. His Highness asked me to assist you with a few logistics, if you are open to that.”
“You mean helping me with what I’m supposed to do as Kaspar’s mate?”
“Yes, m’lady.”
