He rubbed the back of her neck. “Yes.”

“What about dating or just doing girl things? Girls need more than one day off a week.”

“We don’t date.”

She leaned away from his touch. “Well, what happens when she finds her true love or whatever?”

“Then he will bind her, and she will no longer work for me.” He frowned. “Her assistant will take over, I suppose.”

“What if she doesn’t want her assistant to take the job? What if she wants to work for you?”

“She’ll need to speak to her mate about that.”

Jesska tugged her hand from his. “You’re not serious.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Obviously.” She rose to her feet.

“What are you doing?”

“I think I should go back to my room.”

Kasper stood. “Why?”

“Because if I don’t, I’m going to get really pissed off.”

“I’m guessing I said something really wrong, but I have no idea what it was.” He crossed his arms. “Care to fill me in?”

She fisted her hands at her side. “You know, sometimes you’re just the sweetest, most brilliant man on earth, and then you say something so... so... unbelievably chauvinistic and stupid.”

Kaspar ran his hands through his hair. “I don’t know what to tell you, Jess. It’s my world. I’ve never known anything different.”

“I know,” she said.

He reached out his hand. “Stay.”

“Is that an order, my liege?”

“Baby.”

Jesska cocked her head. “I’ll stay if you promise me you’ll give Camilla another day off.”

He sighed. “If she would like another day off, I will give it to her.”

She took his hand and let him pull her back down on the sofa. His phone buzzed, so he grabbed it and then set it on the coffee table. “Our meal is being sent up.”

“That was quick.”

Kaspar smiled. “We have a chef at our disposal.”

“We do?”

He nodded.

“That’s awesome,” she said.

A knock at the door sounded and Kaspar rose to his feet to open it.
