Bixby Ballentine is doing fine, so when that pesky thing called love butts its head into his perfectly satisfactory combative relationship with the ginormous, yet admittedly gorgeous, annoyance that is Darius Dickerson, he is forced to face some seriously life changing challenges.

University student Bixby Ballentine has his own personal botheration in the six foot plus, stupidly muscled, and even more stupidly handsome, Darius Dickerson. Bixby isn't tall, or brawny, and spends long hours studying, so he often forgets to eat, or get enough sleep, or whatever. Just because he started university at sixteen doesn't give Darius the right to treat him like a naive kid with several twit-like tendencies.

Now that Bixby is done school, however, he figures he can enjoy himself at his upcoming twentieth birthday party. That is, until Darius says he'll be attending. Bixby is certain he can avoid Darius' critical eye, however things don't go as planned, and his relationship with Darius turns in a direction he'd never dared dream. Well he'd dared, he'd just not foreseen how the requital of his feelings would result in new challenges with Darius, both toilsome and edifying.
