“I don’t know, it never felt right. One of the things Ryan told me that night was how unsupportive his family was. Mine is the total opposite. They made it clear that being a mom didn’t need to change my path. I didn’t think Ryan’s parents would be as receptive. I just didn’t want anything to ruin his chances in life.”
“Tinsley, two things. First of all, you have to tell him. Especially now that you are involved. He deserves to know his son,” Adrienne said.
“I know deep down you’re right, but I’ve just been protecting this secret for so long, it’s hard to stop,” I said, another sob trying to escape.
“And the second thing is that the way you guarded Ryan, followed his career, took on so much so that he didn’t suffer. Well Tinsley, it sounds like you loved him. Maybe you never stopped loving him. And well, I think he deserves to know that too,” Adrienne said, giving me a sweet smile.
Was she right? Did I love Ryan? Had I been in love with him all this time?

It had been a long and agonizing day of press, but we were finally finished. After this morning and everything that Tinsley had been feeling, I felt we needed to figure out a way to all unwind. More than that Tinsley needed to see how we all helped one another. She needed to see us all enjoy something together, besides her beautiful body.
I knew Tinsley was an avid hiker. She had remarked how much she loved taking her son to the various trails around town. After being stuck indoors for the better part of two days, I could think of nothing better than hiking to work off some pent up energy.
“We’re free!” Kai yelled as he walked into the conference room. He was the last to join us. Michael, Ryan and I had all walked in during the last five to ten minutes to find a gorgeous Tinsley typing away at her computer looking just a touch frazzled.
She had seemed better earlier in the day when we finished breakfast. I wondered what had happened to get her back in her head.
“I don’t know about all of you, but I am tired of talking about me. I am tired of being cooped up inside. I think we could all use a detox from the Hollywood life. What do you say we go for a quick hike to clear our heads and reconnect?” I suggested.
“That sounds like music to my ears,” said Tinsley. All the guys but Kai nodded in agreement.
“How about the Vasquez Rocks?” Ryan suggested. “Kai, remember when we hiked that last year?”
“Really hiking?” Kai whined. “I just want to veg, hole up in my room like a hermit and not talk to anyone for like five years. I don’t want to run into any crazy fans. I’m sick of talking about Dr. Falconi.”
“Dude, Vasquez is isolated. Remember, you commented on how nice it was not to run into anyone on the trails?” Ryan pushed.
“Okay fine, but only because my trainer told me I need to cross train more,” Kai conceded. “At least I won’t have to do extra push ups in the morning cause I’ll have actually listened to him for once.”
“There’s my good boy,” Ryan teased.
“Will an hour give us enough time to change and meet up?” Michael asked.
“Let’s do it,” I said. “See you at the trailhead in an hour.”

An hour later we were all at the meetup in Santa Clarita. I was actually thrilled Ryan had suggested this hike. Not only was it less popular than some of the other hikes like Runyon Canyon but it had these amazing rock and geological formations.
The thought of backing Tinsley into one of those rock hideouts for a make out session had my heart racing before I had even started hiking.
Tinsley looked incredible. She was dressed in a light cropped tank, coral sports bra and bike shorts that left no questions about the ebb and flow of her body. The stitching on her bike shorts accentuated all my favorite parts of her ass.
I wanted to rip those bike shorts off with my teeth, bend her over and take her right there in the parking lot. My cock pulsed in my own athletic shorts. I always had so much pent up energy after press junkets which is why I had suggested a hike. I hadn’t known the site of Tinsley would culminate into horniness.
“Let’s go boys. Last one to the top is a rotten egg,” shouted Tinsley behind her as she took off on the trail ahead of all of us.
“Damn if this isn’t the best view in all of California,” Ryan remarked.
“Ryan we’ve barely left the parking lot, there’s no view yet,” Tinsley said.
“I’m not talking about the sites,” Ryan said. “I’m referring to your ass.”
“You got that right. If you had told me you’d be wearing those bike shorts, I wouldn’t have argued about the hike so much,” Kai remarked.
