The quiet chime of Brady’s cell announcing yet another text message. It had made that sound most of the afternoon, and each time the bells pinched the space between Brady's eyebrows.
"Somebody's determined to get your attention." Blue paused halfway up the stairs and nodded at the cell in Brady's hand.
"Yeah." Brady closed his fingers around it. "I didn't want to get into it at the convention."
"What's going on?" Blue came back down the steps, watching his expression for clues.
"It's complicated." Brady walked to the living room with its view of the beach.
Blue followed. 
"Maybe not complicated," Brady said. "I'm not sure what to call it. 'Good news' is too optimistic."
"We can figure out a label later. What is it?"
Deep brown eyes pinned Blue. Brady's quiet sigh preceded the answer. "Do you remember Pike?"
Blue's gut twisted, his stomach threatening to rid itself of lunch. He hadn't heard that name in years, but the topic of Brady's texts didn't need further explanation.
Pike was a freelance bounty hunter -- and only one person in their lives had a price on his head.
"Oh my god." Blue backed away from Brady, panting air into lungs that seemed to have forgotten how to function, his heart slamming against his ribs, trying to break free from his chest. "Is he here?" Blue jerked his attention to the windows, searching for signs of a man he had hoped never to see again. "Is that why Pike's been texting you? Is that fucking piece of shit here?" The ringing in his ears made it hard to tell how loud he was talking.
"Calm down." Brady took several steps toward him.
He must have been yelling because Brady was using his soothing voice, a quiet, gentle tone Blue heard a lot back when his life was ruled by nightmares and panic attacks.
"He's not here. You're still safe."
The reassurance didn't stop Blue's hands from trembling. 
"Then what does Pike want? I thought you fired him."
Blue hadn’t wanted Brady spending money on a human bloodhound when the target wasn’t worth the immense price tag. He’d made Brady cancel the contract the same day he found out it existed. 
"Not exactly. Closer to putting him on a back burner."
"You told me you called him off." Blue was less concerned with the lie than the fact that after years of silence, Pike had found something to report.
"I know," Brady said with a shrug in his tone. "It was more a retainer arrangement than an actual contract. I told him to keep an ear out and let me know if he ever heard anything."
"And now he heard something. Fuck." Blue took another step back and shoved fingers into his hair, gripping the strands. "Fuck! I don't want to know." He held up his hands. "Don't tell me because I don't want to hear it."

Title: Stealing Blue

Series: The Blue Series: Book 4

Author: D.P. Denman

Genre: M/M Romance

Release Date: March 30, 2017

When a hot new rock star shows up in Vancouver, Blue Atkins’ career turns out to be more explosive than anyone imagined. His first shot at producing traps him between the kid determined to have him and the boyfriend determined to blame him.

The young singer’s desperate antics crank up Brady’s jealousy and drive Blue out of both their lives into new opportunities and the arms of another man. With the battle for Blue’s affection on, Brady must find a way to bring him home or lose him to a sparkling new life in Los Angeles.

Brady Halverson sat in a dark leather chair in the living room with a glass of wine, listening to the chatter that had continued all through dinner. Blue was right. C.K. could keep a conversation going without any help.

Their dinner guest was a stereotypical teenager, energetic, excitable, and overconfident in places. He assumed they were seeing C.K.'s polite side. A kid raised with the kind of money and power that accompanied Freeman’s reputation had to be used to getting his way, and no doubt used to people kissing his ass. Brady wondered how many of Blue's friends would join the queue before the album was finished.

Brady had noticed something else during the last couple of hours. C.K. was a flirt and his obvious target that night was Blue.

C.K. sat on the couch, closer to Blue than he needed to be, laughing at everything Blue said. He'd been playing that game all night. Using amusement as an excuse to touch Blue. Shoulder bumps. Playful shoves. Affectionate pats in random places.

Brady watched C.K. chuckle at a comment, giving Blue a gentle shove complete with a shy look from under his lashes. That was sixteen in the past hour. Had Blue and C.K. been alone the kid would have made a move already. That knowledge lit a cinder in Brady’s chest. He cooled it with a drink of wine.

Brady wasn't fond of flirts. He was less fond of the kind who hit on his man. The only thing keeping him from pulling C.K. off the couch and shoving him into the vacant chair on the other side of the coffee table was his reluctance to look like the jealous, over protective type he was. So he sat and smiled and pretended not to see C.K.'s fingers rested on Blue's shoulder.

Seventeen.

Blue didn't seem to care, and Brady was struggling not to see it as proof Blue liked the attention. He couldn't afford to start being paranoid that early. Blue and C.K. would spend the next several days locked in the upstairs studio, working alone together. Unless Brady cleared his schedule to sit up there with them, he would have to trust Blue to ignore C.K.'s advances. That or lose his mind and make a scene he wasn't sure Blue would forgive.

That album was a big deal. It would either launch Blue's new career as a producer or kill it. He didn't want to be the reason the project failed.

Brady sat and pretended not to notice the kid encroaching on his territory, all but climbing in Blue's lap.

Eighteen.

Nineteen.

Twenty.
