Chapter Seven

Brent’s gaze shifted over the enthusiastic crowd as Raj made his way down the red carpet. The fans that had turned up to catch a glimpse of the actors before they made their way into the premiere had come out in force. They jostled for a place at the front of the barriers as the actors walked the carpet, stopping to sign autographs and chat to reporters about the new release. Brent had worked premieres in London, but the vivid colours of saris and pyjamas brought to life by the glorious sunshine outdid anything he had seen before.

Brent was mesmerised by Raj as he gracefully made the rounds, and from the looks on the reporters’ faces after they stole a few moments with him, he wasn’t the only one. Raj had charisma in spades. It was so easy to be charmed by him. Brent smiled to himself. He should know.

Even though Raj appeared perfectly at ease in his surroundings, there was a definite stiffness in his shoulders and at times his smile fell, to be replaced by tightly set lips. Brent might not have known Raj for very long, but he knew him well enough to recognise that he was nervous, though Raj was an actor and he covered his emotions expertly. Brent doubted anyone else present had noticed that Raj was ill at ease. He must have been to dozens of these events in the past, so Brent doubted his anxiety came from the schmoozing that was expected of him, or the fact that he was surrounded by fans. Was Raj worried about the stalker? Was he afraid the guy would show up here and make another attempt on his life?

Gita Singh, the film’s leading lady, and the rest of the cast followed closely behind Raj. Brent couldn’t see anyone he would deem suspicious, but he kept incredibly close to the actor, just in case. After Jaideep’s fuck-ups, Brent would see to it that nothing of the sort happened to Raj again, even if he had to guard him every damn minute of the day.

Brent tried to keep his mind off what had happened between them, but even though he’d made it perfectly clear to Raj where they stood, his thoughts kept wandering back to the time they’d been together and the look of ecstasy on Raj’s face when he came. Brent had reacted badly when Raj’s mother had turned up, he knew that now, but it had probably been for the best. The near disaster with Lucas only proved that he’d been right to end their relationship before it became too difficult to do so. The closer they became, the more difficult for Brent to walk away. And besides, Brent was too old to be sneaking around, pretending that he and Raj had nothing more than an employer-employee relationship. He refused to hide in the same damn closet that Raj was firmly entrenched in.

Brent shook his head, trying to clear it. He had to concentrate on Raj’s safety.
