Chapter 14

It had been two days since my first s’mores experience. Two days of everything being the same but completely different. The vibe in the house had totally shifted, Owen seemed at ease therefore the rest of the guys followed. They cut up more, made jokes, poked fun at one another. We ate meals together, sat around the fire together, and the guys had even loosened up and told a few stories.

I now knew when Owen was in the Navy he’d been EOD—I’d learned that was explosive ordnance disposal. That was bomb disposal, I’d learned that, too. Further, I’d figured out that was the opportunity Owen had been waiting for that his ex-wife had bitched about. I could see how a woman would be leery of the man she loved defusing bombs for a living, but I didn’t think that was her issue. I hadn’t broached the topic of Naomi even though I had a thousand questions about her. I was too scared to ask.

I also found out that Kevin and Gabe both served in the Navy. Myles was the odd man out and had served in the Army. When this conversation had come about there was some weird rivalry that led to Kevin saying, “Go Navy, Beat Army.” That outburst earned Kevin Myles’s middle finger and muttered curses. Owen had smiled and told me he’d explain later though he hadn’t done that yet.

I’d eaten sugary cereal that I decided I didn’t like. Cocoa Puffs was okay, only if eaten by the handful without milk. Fruity Pebbles were disgusting. Gabe was an excellent cook, and the only thing Kevin could do was use the grill; otherwise, he sucked in the kitchen and burnt grilled cheese, which sucked because I’d found I loved them and could eat one a day. That was if they weren’t burnt. I’d yet to find Myles in the kitchen. Come to think of it, Myles spent a lot of time holed up in his room alone. Or he was pacing the backyard on his phone. He wasn’t mean about it but he was the most closed-off.

Owen on the other hand was no longer guarded. He hadn’t shared his deepest, darkest secrets but he was noticeably more relaxed. He hadn’t asked any more about my past. He hadn’t brought up our morning of orgasms and he hadn’t touched me, kissed me, or even given me a longing look that would suggest he wanted a repeat performance. Which was a shame because I absolutely did.

So now, on the third morning in a row I’d woken up in bed next to him, I was fidgety. I knew what his hands and mouth felt like. I knew he was giving me this time. S’mores, cereal, walks around the property, more wood chopping—which by the way I was getting the hang of and totally loved. Easy, calm nights around the fire pit. But I was still disappointed. Selfishly I wanted more.

“Babe.”

Owen’s sleep-rough voice curled around me and I smiled.

“Sorry.”

I didn’t bother playing dumb.
