Just when things in Hell are starting to get boring, The Lucifer receives another of these blasted letters the candy-striped, smiley-faced, hopeful letters of humans. Only these letters arent intended for him, and hes tired of reading about the silly Christmas wishes of mankind.

The best solution is the most obvious one: go to the North Pole, and demand Santa do something about it.

Only things dont quite work out the way hes imagining. Lucifers riled up and ready to put Santa in his place, but the tall, dark, and somber man who greets him at the workshop door isnt a man that can be bossed around, and hes quick to put Lucifer in his place. Only Lucifer isnt so easily dissuaded, and soon, hes causing chaos right underneath Santas nose.

It quickly becomes a game of cat and mouse, until theyre no longer Lucifer and Santa, but Damien and Niklaus, and whats happening between them is a lot more complicated than either of them could ever have expected.

Theo

I was never a believer in love at first sight, until I took one look at Dante and my entire universe shifted under my feet. We met when I was nineteen at my audition for his band, and he made it clear he didnt want me there. Wary and guarded, he refused to let me in to his life, didnt want to get too close. He was closed off, suspicious of the world and stubborn enough to refuse to change but guess who gets an A plus for persistence?

This guy, right here.

That was four years ago. Our band is on the national stage now, backed by a professional agent with a new album release thats promising success. Endless possibilities stand in front of us. But more important than that, Dante is my best friend in the entire world. He knows everything about me, and I well, I know more about him than most. Hes a mystery. An enigma. A puzzle Im dying to solve. Years of pining have only made me fall harder, and Im not-so-patiently waiting for the day he gives in to this insane attraction between us.

Some things are destiny. Meant to be. Kismet. Karma. Whatever you want to call it, thats what we are. All thats left is for him to understand it.

Dante

Control.

I need it. Crave it. Every aspect of my life is under perfect control, and no one and nothing takes it away from me. Not until this tiny, energetic man came crashing into my life, disrupting my balance with his giant blue eyes and troublemaker smile that never seemed to fade.

When Theo burst into that room four years ago, I was terrified of his easy laugh and loose posture. He opened up so effortlessly, and my history was too recent, too raw. Suspicion was my default mode with everyone, especially someone who had a pull that I couldn't understand. He posed a threat to the carefully constructed control I had built my life around.

Ever since I laid eyes on him, hes been the very center of my world-the axis on which everything else turns. Over the years, hes never been discouraged, slowly chiseling away at my armor until Im bare and exposed when hes around. He makes it sound so easy. Give in. Forget the control and just take what I want.

And God, how I want him.

But if Ive learned anything, its that life is never that simple. Unaware of how broken I really am, he's the only one in my life who looks at me like I do no wrong. I can't risk that—couldn't stand to lose it. Its enough to have him in my life, to keep him as my best friend. Its enough to love him from afar.

It has to be enough.
