She squeaked, standing in the tub, and grabbing for her robe. She managed to pull it on and step out of the tub even though she was still wet.
“Jesska, baby, are you okay? Where are you?”
“I’m... I’m fine, Kaz. I’m in the bathroom,” she called.
The door to the bathroom slid open and Kaspar’s eyes went from her, to her leg, to the razor blade on the floor where it had fallen.
“What are you doing?” she snapped.
He frowned and made his way to her razor blade, picking it up and holding it between his index and middle fingers. “What’s this, Jesska?”
“None of your business.”
He pushed her robe open and knelt before her, surveying the small cut on her leg. With a touch, the wound closed and, other than a little staining from the blood, you’d never know she’d done anything to her leg. “How did you do that?”
“Baby.”
“Kaz. How did you do that?”
“I can heal you, elskan.”
“How?”
“I don’t know how, sweetheart, it’s just something between mates. Now,” Kaspar kissed her knee and then rose to his feet, throwing the razor blade in the trash. “Tell me. What is this?”
She shook her head.
Kaspar pulled her close, cupping the back of her head and kissing her temple. “I felt your fear, baby. Why are you frightened?”
Jesska shook her head again. “It’s dumb.”
“Not to me it isn’t.”
Jesska burst into tears, angry with herself that he affected her so deeply.
“Elskan, shhh. Tell me.”
“The note. He... he knew everything about us. He had a knife, Kaz, and he said I lied. But I didn’t lie. I watched him kill Seth.”
“Oh, baby, Jason can’t hurt you anymore,” Kaspar whispered. He lifted her face and wiped her tears away, kissing her forehead and smiling. “I’m here.”
She nodded, her pain and fear gone as suddenly as it came.
“Where are the rest?” he asked.
“Rest of what?”
“Jesska.” His voice dipped low in warning. “Where are they?”
She bit her lip. “In my purse.”
“And?”
Big, fat, bossy king dude.
“In the pocket in my suitcase,” she grumbled.
“You dry off and get dressed while I take care of this,” he said, as he leaned down and grabbed the trash can. “I’ll open some wine and we can watch a movie when you’re done.”
