Eddie walked back from the bathroom, unaware of the roommate’s concerns or the steps he’d made. He closed the door to Alex’s bedroom and went through his dresser looking for something to wear. He didn’t want to spend all day in his dirty street clothes, especially if he was just going to be hanging out in bed and waiting for his host to return.
He threw on a part of shorts and a hoodie, deaf to the sounds of Damien making his way into the apartment. It wasn’t until the doorknob began to turn that Eddie realized there was anyone around! His heart raced in a panic, unsure of who it could be or what he would say. It was too soon for Alex to be back, so it couldn’t be good.
As soon as the door opened, a warm-faced middle aged man stepped into the room. He looked like the Brawny man, classically handsome with salt and pepper hair, a red checked shirt and light denim. Even though his presence was unexpected, he had kind, brown eyes and soft smirk to his face. Eddie leapt up from the bed, still startled by the man’s entrance. Not only that, he felt himself being taken over suddenly by the warm, electric feeling in his body that came with the change.

No no no, not now! Eddie panicked as he felt his body come alive with powerful, animal, sexual energy. He put out a hand to try and tell the stranger to leave, only to see that hairs had begun to push out onto his fingers. He expected the man to scream and run, instead, he peculiarly put a finger to his mouth, telling him to be quiet. What was going on?
