Chapter Eight

Christian snuck a glance at Holly while he drove along the two-lane highway on the way to the address she’d provided. They’d been on the road nearly twenty minutes and she hadn’t said a word since her demand to go home.

Despite her refusal to speak, tension washed off her frame in waves that threatened to drown him. Knowing she’d need more time to absorb the new twist in their relationship he hadn’t meant to spring the band invitation on her so soon. Apparently, he’d forgotten to discuss that little tidbit with Seth.

The sad fact remained that by rushing into the situation they not only breached her trust, but also may have very well ruined any chance the band had of her returning. Even if she was angry, this silence was killing him. “Holly.”

“Don’t talk to me,” she snapped.

The pain and anger in her voice nearly undid him. He’d waited so long to have her back in his life. To know he may have ruined everything with his bad judgement twisted his stomach into knots. “You can’t just close me out.”

Her head jerked to the side and she shifted on one hip to look at him. “Watch me.”

Oh, man! While he knew how stubborn she could be, he’d forgotten about her temper. “Even after what took place between us last night?”

Pain flared in her eyes, telling him that their encounter the night before had meant something to her.

“You lied to me.”

He glanced back to the road, noting the upcoming turn as he slowed the vehicle. “I may not have told you everything, but I did not lie to you.”

“Oh, really?” she countered. “So what do you call intentionally withholding information in order to achieve your goals?”

He made a left off the main road onto a lane leading to a small grouping of houses. “Okay, I’ll admit that maybe Seth and I could have handled the situation better.” He pulled into the driveway, put the SUV in park and turned off the ignition.

“So now I’m a situation to be handled?” She grabbed the door handle and flung open the passenger door. “Real nice, Christian.”

“Hol—” She slammed the door on his words. “Damn!” He banged a palm against the steering wheel then pushed open the driver’s door. No way was he going to let her walk away like this. “You are not a situation.” He practically ran to catch up as she stomped up the deck steps all the while rooting in her pocket for her keys. “And I resent you putting words in my mouth.”

She turned on him, her face red with anger. “And I resent being treated like one of your fucking groupies.”

Anger flared through his system and he grabbed her by the biceps, his face inches from hers. “Don’t you ever say that again! You are not a groupie.”

She shoved at him. “You’ve lost the right to touch me.”

He let go as if her words burned him. “Holly, be reasonable.”

“I am being reasonable. As far as I’m concerned, what you and Seth did was sneaky and underhanded.
