Hello again. Sorry it's been so long, but that damn pesky real life kept intruding on me. It's been nearly a year now, so I guess I should really update. If anyone out there is still reading this, then I hope you enjoy! And thank you for all the reviews so far! I'm not sure when the next update will be though!

CHAPTER TEN

Glen yawned hugely and stretched as far as the bed would allow. Hotel beds were never big enough, but this one felt particularly cramped for some reason. His eyes popped open when he remembered what that reason was and he quickly looked to one side to find Nina asleep beside him.

Oh my God, he thought, it really happened! For a few seconds as awareness had come to him after his deep sleep, he had thought he'd just had a particularly nice dream. But it had been real...and his body was reminding him just how ready it was to repeat that experience. His lips curved into a smile as he studied her sleeping face. She looked so pretty laying there with her hair forming a dark tangle around her head.

And she was his now. At least, he hoped she was his after last night. How did women feel about that sort of thing, really? Would she think he was possessive? God, what if she hadn't really enjoyed herself as much as she said she had? What if she'd been faking it? He'd heard women did that, so how did you know if it was real or not? It had felt real enough, but what did he know about sex? Nothing, he thought, starting to worry. Damn. But she had stayed all night. She wouldn't have wanted to do that if she didn't like what had happened...if she didn't like him. He lifted a hand from under the covers and touched her cheek lightly, marveling at how soft her skin felt compared to his.

Nina's eyes opened slowly and the first thing she saw was Glen's beautiful hazel eyes staring into hers from a distance of mere inches. A smile curved her lips when the events of last night came flooding back. "Good morning, handsome," she said, her voice still husky from sleep.

Her words made him forget the worries that were filling his mind and he grinned. "Good morning."

"What time is it?"

"Early, just gone six," he said, still stroking her face and brushing his thumb across her lips. Everything about her was interesting to him. "How do you feel this morning?"

"Really good," she said as she stretched, the sheet falling away from her slightly as she did so and offering him a view of her breasts. "I wish we didn't have to go anywhere today, because I'd love to just stay in bed with you for the next 24 hours."

"You would?" he murmured, his eyes crinkling with amusement.

"Mmm-hmm. Of course, I'm not sure I can walk at the moment, and if I spent 24 hours in bed with you I think I'd need a wheelchair to get me anywhere." She laughed when he went red. But he was already gaining a little more confidence, because his smile didn't waver. She took his hand and linked their fingers together. "I really enjoyed last night."

"So did I," he agreed. His eyes took in every one of her features, sparkling warmly with emotion. "I'm driving to the next town and I'd love for you to come with me."

"Glen, you know staff and talent never travel together," she reminded him. "I'd love to, but people would talk."

"I don't care if they do," he said, frowning. "I've often had staff travelling with me anyway, regardless of what the unwritten rules say. It's a stupid rule anyway. Why shouldn't staff travel with talent? We all work for the same company."

"True," she said softly. "But I don't want people to gossip about you."

"And about you, too."

"Yeah, but I don't mind for myself. I just don't want it to cause you any problems."

He smiled and pulled her closer so he could feel her all down his body. "They can gossip about me all they like. I want you to come with me."

"Okay then," she said with a smile, slipping her arms up and round his neck. "As long as I won't be taking anyone's place, then I'd love to travel with you."

"You know, we'll be in the next place for the evening, the night and a whole day before we have to work," he mused.

Nina gave him a sly smile. "What are you thinking?"

"Well, we don't strictly have to be out of our rooms before later this afternoon...so we could stay here all day and drive at night. Or, we could get ready right now, drive to the next venue and spend all evening, all night and all the next day together," he said, looking hopeful but uncertain.

"Choices, choices," she murmured, grinning at him. "Whatever I choose, I get to spend a long time with you, and that makes me really happy."

He relaxed. "It makes me happy too. So what's it to be?"

"I think...maybe we should get ready now and hurry on to the next town. We could be there before anyone else, and they wouldn't even know what rooms we were in."

"You'd want your own room, I guess," he mused.

Nina shook her head. "Actually, I'd love to share a room with you, as long as you don't think it's too soon. But you normally share with Chris...except this time. Why is that?"

Glen shrugged. "He was getting on my nerves so I just got my own room before he even got here. I'm glad I did now."

"Me too!" she agreed eagerly, smiling as she sat up suddenly and attempted to pull him up with her. His huge weight wasn't going anywhere without his say so, however, and she narrowed her eyes at him. "Come on! We have to get showered and dressed, so we can leave!"

"You sound keen," he said, grinning as he let her tug him up with a lot of help from him.

"I am! You've just said you're going to spend hours and hours with me. I'm not passing up on that offer, so get your cute butt out of bed and in that bathroom!"

"Cute butt?"

"Mmmm, very cute. A fact I'm sure many, many fans of yours would agree with. Just the sight of it in those black and red tights," she said with a shiver. "I don't know how I've managed to keep my hands off you for this long."

Glen flushed a little at the thought that she'd been looking at his ass for some time without him even being aware of it. "Well you can feel free to touch me anytime you like from now on," he said with a shrug, trying to sound nonchalant.

Nina smiled and pulled him up off the bed until they were both standing pressed against each other. "I might take you up on that," she murmured, leaning forward and kissing his chest. "But right now, we need a shower." Her eyes dropped down when she felt him against her and she gave a small laugh. "And no hanky panky just yet, that'll have to wait. I have a feeling if we get into it now, we won't be leaving this room all day!"

"You could be right," he muttered as she walked ahead of him into the small bathroom. His eyes dropped to the smooth curve of her backside and he cursed the way his body reacted even more to the sight. The shower was going to be very interesting and he had a feeling that he'd be feeling more than a little frustrated by the time they were dressed.

Hope it was okay, and hopefully I'll get time to write some more real soon.
