Let them try by Reno MacLeod & Jaye Valentine

This novella was a mix of comedy and paranormal, but the comedy part of the story had the lion share.

Rick is a pushing 50 years old patrol cop; he has no desire or mood to climb the career staircase, and basically he is happy to wait for when he will retire. Rick is also gay and in the closet, or better, he sees no reason to come out if not with his closest friends: it’s not like he has someone at home waiting for him, and if most people don’t know about him, it’s better. When he wants company, there is always a bar or a cheap motel where he can find it.

As any other man who enjoyed his body when it was young and athletic, Rick has a penchant for young men, but even so, he has not exactly the physique du role to draw them, and so he limits himself to dream, until the day he literally stumble upon his dream comes true. Rick is patrolling the cemetery, some teenagers are trying for a demon summon and he scares them away; behind them they leave Diego, young, beatufil and naked. At first Rick thinks the young man is one of them, but then Diego proves to Rick that he is the real thing, a demon who chose the perfect body to entice Rick to take him home. That is, Diego, even if a demon, and powerful, and ancient, behaves like a lost puppy, like someone who wants to belong to someone else; I think Diego felt that Rick is a good man, someone who would never hurt him, and so he picks him up as his protector.

It’s simple for Diego to convince Rick to take him home and to let him remain: it’s sufficient to lounge in Rick’s bedroom completely naked or to accidentally appear in the shower, completely naked as well, of course, and Rick has no way to refuse him. The nice side effect is also that Diego not only makes Rick feel younger, he is really making him younger. Unfortunately not everyone is able to see Diego throught Rick’s eyes, and it’s interesting that the authors chose to use the religious stigma instead of the moral one: people will try to send Diego away not since he is too young for Rick (at least in this body), or since he is gay, but since he is a demon, and a demons can’t be good. It’s nice to see how the authors try to contradict this assumption, going back at the beginning of time, making demons the first who were “betrayed” by their own father.

Rick and Diego are perfect together, since Diego meets Rick’s kink for young men, without being really so young, and Diego has found in Rick the protective figure he is searching, almost a fatherly figure, again without really needing it, but only since he has a kink as well.
