Teague\u2019s lips thinned and he finally looked up to meet her eyes again. He cleared his throat quietly before words came again. \u201cI saw things, started dreaming.

\u201cNever,\u201d Teague said. \u201cNever ever. Not again. I swear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGood,\u201d Kira said, meeting his gaze. \u201cBecause I don\u2019t plan on it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
