“You did?”
She glanced up at him. “Yes. They were really happy and gave me their blessing.”
“They did?”
“Yes. They said that I’d waited too long to let myself be happy and he wouldn’t have wanted that.” Jesska forced back tears as Kaspar pulled her close again. When she felt she could talk without blubbering, she pushed away from him. “Now tell me what happened.”
“Let me shower first,” he said.
“Are you stalling?”
“No, baby, I will tell you everything, but I want to wash off the blood.” He pulled off his shirt and headed to the bathroom.
Jesska followed. “I’ll listen while you wash.”
“Jesska, do you really want to tempt this?”
“What?”
He frowned. “Ari said how frightened you were with Megan’s conversion.”
She shuddered at the memory. “What’s that got to do with you talking to me while you shower?”
“I can’t have you in here right now, sweetheart, unless I know I’m binding you. I’m too keyed up to control my reaction to you.”
“I’m not leaving, Kaspar.”
“You’re certain about that?” he challenged.
“Definitely.”
“Suit yourself,” he retorted, and started the shower.
Jesska sat on the toilet lid while Kaspar undressed. When he removed his perfectly tailored kingy trousers, she bit her lip. Boxer briefs looked incredible on this man. Her heart sped up at the sight.
“Why don’t you wait outside, Jesska?”
She shook her head.
“Baby.” He leaned down and cupped her chin. “You do this, it means I shower and then I bind you.”
Her breath hitched, and she took a minute to think. “Will you tell me what happened while you shower?”
“Does that mean I’m binding you?”
She bit her lip, staring up at the man she hadn’t expected, realizing she was no longer angry with him, and nodded.
His sexy smile was intoxicating as he leaned down and covered her mouth with his, kissing her slowly. He broke the kiss and stroked her cheek. “Last chance to change your mind.”
“I’m not going to change my mind.”
She’d never seen a man move so fast. Suddenly, he was naked in front of her and stepping into the shower. Good lord, he was gorgeous. Jesska took a moment to compose herself, gathering up Kaspar’s discarded clothing and dropping it into the laundry bag. “Tell me.”
“The blood was some Russian soldier who has ties to the same mob that kidnapped Vandi Whitmore a few months ago.”
“Who’s Vandi Whitmore?”
“She’s Charlotte’s sister. Charlotte is Megan’s middle daughter who was taken from her. Vandi is the sister Charlotte was raised with.”
