Brian and Tristan, architect and cop, are still feeling their way toward a serious relationship. Tristan, a bit of a renegade from his upper-class moneyed family, avoids the party circuit as much as possible. To please Brian, he agrees to go to an exclusive up-scale New Year’s Eve party. Unfortunately, Tristan’s narcissistic ex-boyfriend, Eric, attends the same party. Ex-lovers really can be trouble!

Sample

Brian fumed internally as he liberated Tristan from Eric's presence, actively looking for someplace to take Tristan that was away from the crowds and more specifically away from that bastard. Okay, the man was drop dead gorgeous, Brian would concede him that. He could see what must have initially attracted Tristan to Eric. Nobody turned down that kind of hot. But how Tristan had put up with the piss-ant attitude for more than a day or two did defy logic just a little. Brian supposed it was possible Eric could be charming if he chose to be.

Brian drew Tristan to a halt in a relatively quiet corner in one of the hallways outside the ballroom.

"I'm sorry about that, but I figured it might be simpler to meet him head on." Tristan looked tense and annoyed.

Brian cupped his hands around Tristan's shoulders and pressed him very gently back against the wall, stepping in close.

"It's okay. He's an asshole and we both know it," Brian whispered. "I think you made an offer to stick your tongue down my throat at this party if I wanted. Now would be a good time."

Tristan relaxed a little and gave Brian a half smile. Brian leaned against him and delivered a deep open mouth kiss. For the next couple of minutes, neither of them paid much attention to the world around them.

"You know... I think we passed a utilities sort of closet back a ways," suggested Brian.

"That is your kink isn't it? You really like the danger element of getting caught with your pants down," teased Tristan.
