Teak Floor laying question

I have just built an enclosed porch. The subfloors
are 3/4" ply. The floor is going to be 3" x 3/4"
tongue and groove teak. It should not get wet, but
will have some temp variations. (winter heating is optional)

Should I use an underlayment?

The floor is (from ground up) 1/2 ply, 2x8s on 16" centers,
and then the 3/4" subfloor, sitting on cement footings.
There is unsulation with vapor barrier between all the
2x8s

What's under the subfloor?? If it does not have a vapor barrier of
some kind, I would put an underlayment over the ply
