TEAGEN
A warm hand moved under Teagenâs shirt and caressed her breast. Sheâd fallen asleep against Bowen. It was hard not to. She felt so safe in his arms.
She realized that entire time making love to Bowen, sheâd never removed her shirt. Sheâd never had sex with her clothing on before, but it had felt safer, freeing to make that choice. . . to be allowed to make any choice about who she would be with and when, how. Perhaps because sheâd always been denied the ability to cover herself even after sex when the guards used her.
Bowen spoke of power, but she didnât feel powerful. Just damn lucky to have men who cared about her.
âTeagen, I have to get up,â Bowen whispered in her ear.
She loved having his body curled around her, warming her, making her feel special. She snuggled closer to him. âLet Harlis cook dinner.â
âHeâs gone. Left for third shift hours ago. I have to return to the fields to see if I can get any of those harvesters to work or Iâll never make my quota.â
That got her to open her eyes. âI hate what they did to you. You should be allowed to rest longer.â
He kissed her lips as he slid out of bed and opened the one dresser in the house. His was the bottom drawer. âIâll survive. I slept really well last night, not like the last time they put me in the cage. No nightmares.â
âYeah, me too.â
She loved when he smiled, which was rare. The rest of the time, he always looked so damn serious. The way the corners of his mouth kicked up right now made him even more striking. Every muscle on the man spoke of power, but heâd submitted to her this morning, not the other way around, and it was a heady feeling to know she could be in charge, and that a man cared enough about her to let her.
Teagen rubbed her eyes, not quite able to shake the need for more sleep. Between sneaking away from the house in the middle of the night and making love to Bowen after she returned, she was wiped.
Bowen leaned over her and kissed the top of her head.
âA little lower, please.â
âMy pleasure, Boss Lady,â he said as he captured her lips once more. âYou look tired, but you need to get up. Itâs not a good idea to fall asleep with no one else here. You could miss the alarm.â
âSomeone kept me busy this morning when I could have been sleeping,â she flirted.
âYeah, I know. Canât say Iâm sorry, though. Not about keeping you busy. But if you canât stay awake, youâll have to sleep in the pit.â
She glanced at the floorboards covering the pit.
He kissed her head again. âIâm sorry. I donât want you down there any more than you do, and I donât want you returning to the greenhouse for a while. I donât think the shredded smock convinced Mozely. I want you where youâre safest.â
âOkay,â she said, stifling a yawn.
