Chapter Five

Sonofabitch! The last thing I need is a photo-hungry fan on my ass.

Nash gunned the engine and sped back through downtown Gatlinburg. He made all the lights, which was miraculous, but wanted to get the hell out of Dodge before anyone else recognized him—as well as get a jump on those who did, in case they decided to follow.

It was Mary’s fault. He’d never felt so carefree and alive than he did with her cradled up against him. She belonged there, it seemed, and he had lost all sense of vulnerability and sensibility when they’d gotten off the bike and he kissed her.

It felt like he’d waited hours to touch his lips to hers again, watching their sexy plumpness in the rearview mirror more than he had watched the road.

Usually he was smarter than that out in public. No doubt, whether that guy was a fan or not, he’d sell the pics to some mag and then both his and Mary’s faces, swapping spit no less, would be plastered all over the fan pages. He’d have to answer questions about a relationship and she’d suddenly be thrust into the limelight—and he had no clue if that was something she would be upset about, or not.

For some reason, he figured she was pretty much a private person. Shy and reserved.

Dammit. This one slipup could ruin everything. Would she have anything to do with him after this? Would it make her turn tail and run on him again? Like last night?

No wonder celebrities took every precaution they could to keep their private lives undercover. This was all too new to him to keep that in mind one-hundred percent of the time.

And with Mary, he’d lost all sense of priority.

He was smitten. Hell. That sounded like something his grandma would say. But it was true.

Out of town now and heading toward Legend Mountain, he relaxed and looked yet again into the mirror on his handlebar. Mary stared toward the side of the road. She still gripped him as tight as before, but something had changed between the two of them. He wondered what she was thinking.

Hell, she was probably wondering what he was thinking.

He should take her back to the bed and breakfast. Tell her it was a great ride and head back to his bus for the afternoon. He should, but he didn’t want to. They had a few hours and he wasn’t ready to let Mary go, not just yet, until he figured out a few things. And until he wooed her back into his arms again.

Besides, along with the keys to the bike, Brad had also given him the keys to one of his cabins up behind the lodge.

The last thing he wanted to do was take advantage of Mary. He did want to take advantage of the situation and get away from the world, the music, the paparazzi, the fans, and who knows what else for a few hours. And since Mary was here, well, he hoped she didn’t mind tagging along.
