Hours later, Lana stared at the ceiling, silently cursing everything. The rocking boat, the storm outside that had woken her not too long ago—and the fact that she found herself wondering what Teague was doing out in the main cabin. There was a huge seating area in the space next to the kitchen that turned into a bed. He was likely sleeping.

Just like she should be.

Instead, she was wondering about Teague. Wondering, fantasizing, same thing.

The boat rolled slightly as thunder rumbled ominously overhead. Yeah, she wasn’t going back to sleep anytime soon. Between the weather and her wayward thoughts, it wasn’t happening.

Annoyed, she got out of bed, brushed her teeth, and stripped off the sweater she’d thrown on earlier. It was chilly in the boat but she was going to grab some water—aka sneak a peek at Teague—in her skimpy PJs.

Because… Oh, she knew exactly what she was doing.

The door opened soundlessly and she moved up the few steps into the kitchen area. Most of the lights were off, but he’d kept a couple of the curtains half lifted, letting in natural light. The cabin beyond was too dark though.

Damn it.

She could see his shadow stretched out on the couch, but couldn’t see anything else. Feeling stupid, she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and started to pull the laptop out of the cabinet—might as well do something useful since she couldn’t sleep. But his rumbly voice from the darkness stopped her.

“Everything okay?” A light clicked on suddenly, a small lamp illuminating Teague laid out on the couch like a god. A thick blanket pooled around his waist and of course he had no shirt on.

“Yeah,” she rasped out, then cleared her throat, cursing her unsteady voice. “Just grabbing some water.”

He shoved the blanket off and stood, stretching—and showing off his abs and biceps. She winced slightly at the sight of the paintball bruises—and the faint new scars nicking his chest. Ones that hadn’t been there six months ago. “Thunder woke me,” he said around a yawn. His hair was cut short, but there was a little length on the top and it was mussed, making him look adorable.

“Same.” She stood there in her little camisole set, feeling vulnerable even though she’d walked out dressed this way intentionally.

But Teague had a way of making her feel off-kilter, unbalanced in a way no one else ever had. Because he saw her, right through to her core.

And when his gaze swept over her, his eyes flaring with hunger, she set her water bottle on the nearest flat surface and closed the distance between them, her footsteps silent in the cabin.

Lightning flashed, illuminating the windows, followed by a crack of thunder.

She kept all her focus on Teague as she came to stand in front of him. She was already regretting this, but couldn’t stop herself. Didn’t want to.

“We both can’t sleep and I need to burn off energy.” Okay…that did not come out as smooth as she’d been hoping. She bit back a wince, however, because she’d started this.
