“I was joking.”
Kaspar closed his eyes for a second after he set her on their mattress.
“Are you okay?” she asked.
“Yes.”
“Why am I not convinced?”
Kaspar pulled his shirt over his head and walked into the bathroom. “Everything is dealt with, sweetheart.”
She slid from the bed and headed to the bathroom. “What does that mean?”
“Come take a shower with me and then we’ll talk in bed.”
“Or we could talk in the tub,” she suggested.
Kaspar gave her a tired smile. “Even better.”
Jesska plugged the bath and started the water before staring at her mate. “You look exhausted.”
He sighed. “I am.”
“Because of the Red Fang?”
“All of it.” He dragged his hands through his hair. “It’s just been a skít day.”
“Kaz.” She slid her hands up his chest and looped them behind his neck. “Are. You. Okay?”
He smiled again. “I’m fine now, baby. All is done.”
She rubbed her forehead.
“What?” Kaspar asked.
“I think I need to tell you something.”
“What?” he pressed, his tone one of suspicion.
“It’s your birthday in a week.”
“I’m aware.”
She sighed. “I kind of planned a party.”
He raised an eyebrow. “You did?”
She nodded. “We have thirty people descending on our home in two days. Gunnar helped me organize it.”
Kaspar laughed. “Are you serious?”
“Yes. I’m sorry, babe. I’ll call everyone and cancel. It’s just not a good time.”
He shook his head. “No. I’ll be fine. I just need a little time to process everything. It won’t take long.”
“Good. You can start your processing by telling me about everything that happened, and then we can christen the tub.”
Kaspar chuckled. “I don’t know if I have the energy to talk and christen, honestly.”
