Adam's eyes flick open, but he doesn't object to the touch. He's not used to gentle, careful touches like this.

He has to think about how he feels about Ronan stealing a boat. He doesn't like Ronan buying it with his father's money, like it's nothing, or using his title to commandeer it.

Taking things and breaking rules isn't necessarily against his moral code, but taking things that other people earned with hard work is.

"I suppose it depends on what we're stealing and from whom."
