Monsters are real, and everyone knows it. When Mikey, an employee at the US Department of Fish and Wildlife, is assigned to rescue an abused creature at Samuel’s Carnival Extravaganza, he feels drawn to the sympathetic thing. But, rescuing and nursing the creature back to health has some unforeseen consequences. Not only can Renin talk, but he has the same urges and needs as a human—urges and needs now set on his savior, Mikey. Ones which Mikey can’t say he doesn’t reciprocate. As a creature used to high levels of socialization, keeping him in isolation with little stimulation could be doing him more harm than good. For the second time, Mikey must break Renin out of captivity, bringing him home for…safe keeping. While ending up in Mikey’s home is one of the best things to happen to Renin, multiple forces threaten to tear them apart. Mikey’s boyfriend, for one, isn’t accepting of the creature making itself comfortable in Mikey’s bed. The government is desperate to get their creature back, and will stop at nothing to have him. And then, there’s what’s hidden in the woods—watching, waiting, ready to strike at Renin at the first opportunity. With everything seemingly against them, Mikey may not be able to hold on to his monster for very long.

Mike let out a terrified exhale, almost afraid he’d nearly lost his life to Renin’s lust. But then Renin began to back away, releasing Mike only to place both hands on the lip of the tub on either side of him. Renin slid his head out from under Mike’s chin, and looked up, his brow knitted in worry and face flushed red. Mike realized what Renin had done, and that what Mike had perceived as angry and predatorily was just Renin on the edge of his arousal.
Mike hardly had time to process that, though, when abruptly, Renin caught Mike by the hips, and pulled him into the water. Their lips crashed together, Mike surprised by the human gesture he’d taught Renin. Renin’s kiss was furious and open-mouthed, and his hands were wild, laying claim over Mike’s body as he began to tug at Mike’s clothes.
The shirt was half soaked as Mike pulled it over his head, peeling it off his thin frame. It landed with a soft squelch on the tile floor, and after he struggled to get his pants off, they followed suit. With two hands holding Mike in his lap, Renin shifted them around until he could lay back against the tub where he’d initially started his bath. Mike settled deep in his lap.
Mike put his hands on Renin’s shoulders, staring down at him in disbelief. Their liaison was unreal, Mike’s entire body flushed in the warm, clear water.
