Evan is an exhibitionist, and at 21, he is at his sexual peak, so he’s following his dream and trying to break into the porn business. He applied to a studio where the current major star is one of the tentacled aliens that arrived on Earth recently. Evan has seen what those multiple appendages can do, and where they can go, and wants to experience that himself. When Evan arrives for his interview and meets the alien Aristotle, the sparks definitely fly. It’s all the producer can do to get them in the studio for Evan’s bit debut.

This novella-length story is a prequel of sorts to the New Neighbors series. The video exploits of Aristotle and Evan are mentioned in the other books, but you can read this story without having read the others. As implied, the events of this tale take place before the escapades of the characters of the series.

If you have read the other stories, you know there’s a “fated mates” theme to them. Once one of the aliens meets someone their senses tell them is their mate, there’s really no stopping them. The young men who trigger this instinct seem almost as powerless to resist the alien’s laser focus on pleasuring them.

The narration is completely from Evan’s point of view. He seems to be an intelligent young man. Some might question his decisions. He certainly does. But Evan is walking into his interview knowing, he thinks, what he’s getting into. All of Evan’s brains turn to mush once Aristotle gets his tentacles on the young man. The alien’s senses tell him exactly what Evan is feeling, allowing them to send the young man to new heights of pleasure.
