Chapter One

Do on aup, he’d loved action hts He’d sneaked into tons of theaters, the darkness sing hi world flickered on the screen in front of hi than anything he would be doing with his life

The reality, he discovered, was aas fuck

A major film production company had swept into Cincinnati to film some scenes for a new movie, and Ward Security had been hired to add an extra layer of protection for some of the actors The local police and a second security company kept the fans and lookie-loos at bay The situation beca death threats from a persistent stalker

Doe’s dark shadow The guy was putting up an impressive front that he wasn’t scared shitless about the stalker He had that perfect George Clooney smile, the dreauy” personality of Chris Pratt But there had been a fewhiuard down and stared off into space, his hand shaking slightly at his side as if the world were crashing down on him

Poor fucker

Did he even knohat normal was anymore? He left his trailer to hit the set, and fans would scream his name He’d travel fro an autograph or a selfie Ward Security put a hard stop to all selfies until the stalker was caught They were too dangerous

So far, Trent was following all their rules, and it was a relief that he was at least taking the threat seriously Of course, the intense schedule the guy was keeping with the shooting, interviews, and trying toso theuard was allowed to put in ht hours shifts He wanted his people to stay sharp

Right now, Dom was on rotation with Sven and Garrett—two of his coworkers at Ward Security—which h Somehow Sven had drawn the short stick and was on the third shift He could i a le with at night, and Sven wasn’t allowed to get any pictures, autographs, or sneak Geoffrey in to meet Trent

Of course, Sven likely found ways to distract Geoffrey froht not be happy about this job, but his love for Sven would never waver The two men were made for each other, and Dom couldn’t help but feel a little envious

He’d done the partying and sleeping around thing for a while He’d had his fun Hell, he’d thought he’d be having that kind of fun for a few more years, but then Abe Stephens stepped into his life, and well…plans were ed

Maybe

Abe wasn’t giving hi for months Met up for dinner a few times Dom had been careful to keep it all casual and fun But every tiave every sign that he was interested, but so? Or that he was a guy?

Dom ran a hand over this face He needed to focus on the job Every ti else, it was Abe as dancing through his brain If he fucked up this job, Roas going to skin hiood at protection He just needed to focus

“Girl trouble?” Trent’s deep voice broke into his thoughts

Dorabbing two bottles of water froe They were in a conference room on the second floor of a hotel don Trent had been needed for file and lunch that consisted of a ridiculous amount of protein, they’d retired to the conference room for a series of interviews before Trent had to be back on the set that night

“More like guy trouble,” Dom corrected him

Trent stared at hi hit hi His mouth bobbed once before he finally said, “I couldn’t tell I mean—oh! No, I mean, that’s cool”

Douy’s face was so dae fluster The actor was smooth as silk with everyone he talked to; hehe did was intentional Douard that he couldn’t cover it
