Trent and Adrian from “The Perfect Housemate” return. It's Trent's birthday, and Adrian takes him out for an early, sexy celebration. However, a secret from Adrian's past interrupts the festivities, and Adrian is forced to disappear. Now Trent must decide if he wants to let Adrian walk out of his life, or if he's willing to risk it all.

Sample

Paul took the hint and excused himself. Once he was alone, Trent realized that he hadn't been out on the scene in a long time. He didn't mind -- Adrian kept him more than entertained. There was the foursome they had with Carl and Silas, who was a vampire lord, and the threesome with that satyr. Trent had to admit -- sex with an incubus and a half-giant beat rolling in the sheets with an ordinary guy any day of the week.

Part demon, Trent had to remind himself. Adrian had mentioned that he wasn't a full-blooded incubus when they first got together, but hadn't said anything since then. Every time Trent probed Adrian further, his housemate had "to work on a new choreography" all of a sudden.

Carl was more straightforward when Trent asked him about his past. "Stop asking nosy questions or I'll crush your damn car into a cube and sell it to the junkyard."

All in all, that was a very polite threat for Carl, so Trent didn't push the issue any further. He was still wondering if it was ever going to be possible to get answers from either of them when a message appeared in his inbox.

Happy birthday, Lover Boy. I know it's not until tomorrow, but it's a tradition in my family to celebrate your special day early. Adrian agrees with me, and he's determined to give you a pre-celebration all night tonight.

Don't let him drain you dry, I want to have some left over when I come home.

Carl

Trent's jaw dropped in disbelief. All night? He needed coffee now. In fact, if he wanted to have any prayer of surviving, he should find a way to get a caffeine IV.
