Muse of a God. Gods of Earth, #3

Lawrence, who prefers to go by Laurie, is one of those gifted performers that everyone envies because he always gets the lead role. Carter is a god with a shaded past. He created a planet. and then helped parasite type symbiotes destroy it. His current time on Earth is to prove he is rehabilitated. He isn't. But he is good at manipulation. He wants to stay close to the two scientists who will discover a means to save Earth once Carter brings the symbiotes to it.
One of them is Laurie's roommate in college. Which means Laurie is Carter's best means to befriending the scientists. A not so chance encounter and some mocking, gets Laurie to join the lacrosse team Carter is on. Seducing him is easy enough, but Laurie quickly proves refreshingly unpredictable and his quick tongue makes Carter reconsider his choices to stay loyal to his previous love who controls the symbiotes. But can Carter's growing affection toward Laurie be enough to convince him to save Earth rather than destroy it?
