CHAPTER 13

S: Looking forward to having a lovely beer with my lady tonight.

R: You mean, you look forward to having a beer with your lovely lady, not the other way around.

S: I mean, I’m looking forward to having a mediocre beer with my beautiful lovely woman because essentially everything else is bang average in comparison to you.

WE FIT ON the cot, but just barely.

When I awoke I was sprawled over his body, my head over his heart, his fingers playing in my still-damp hair and clutching my lower back.

“Go back to sleep.” His voice was alert, like he hadn’t yet rested. “It’s only one.”

I squinted until the dim room came into focus. He’d turned off the overhead lights save one. “You need to sleep, too. Let me take a shift.”

“You would deprive me the joy of watching you sleep?”

I squeezed him and was about to tell him he was sweet.

But then he said, “You know that’s why I married you, right?”

“So you could watch me sleep?”

“Basically. Being married is the only time I can say or do that sort of stuff and not sound like a stalker.”

“You still sound like a stalker.”

His chest shook with a rumbly laugh and his fingers danced over my neck. “Good. Glad I haven’t lost my touch.”

I shifted to his other side and bent my knee, folding my hands over his chest and peering up at him. “Since you’re up, and I’m up—”

He smirked, lifting a single eyebrow and saying suggestively, “Gooooo on.”

I grinned and opened my mouth to respond, but he interrupted me again.

“Please tell me you want to knit an afghan. I’ve been dying to try out my new set of sharp Hiya circulars.”

I was astonished he’d gleaned enough about knitting terminology to say, set of sharp Hiya circulars; nevertheless, I ignored this surprising information and pressed forward. “No. I want you to tell me what happened after you drugged me.”

He grimaced, and I felt his abdominal muscles tighten, like he felt the words on a visceral level. “Do you have to say it like that? It sounds so untoward.”

“You did drug me, Greg.”

“I know. But can’t we frame it differently? How about we say I poked you?”

“That makes it sound like we had sex.”

“We did have sex.” I heard the smug smile in his voice.

“You know what I mean. And I’m not going to use the word poke for both drugging and sex. You can see why that wouldn’t be a good idea. I don’t want to request a poke and have you spike my coffee with Ketamine, misunderstanding the request.”

“Fine. But for the record, I would always assume you meant sex.”

“Getting back to the original question, what happened after you drugged me?”

“First you need to know what happened when we were captured.”

“Okay, start there.”

Greg’s chest rose and fell with an expansive breath and his hand smoothed down the length of my back, settling possessively on my backside.

His eyes grew unfocused as he recalled the memory.
