   Summary

   Ryan knows Joe Carroll better and more intimately than anyone. More intimately than anyone would ever believe. There is more to their story than has ever been told to the world and Joe could ruin Ryan if he ever spoke of it, but he won't. It's theirs. What they have is secret. Ryan reluctantly begins to come alive again playing Joe's newest painful game. Love hurts. And that's good, that's really good. It's the only kind of love that makes sense for Ryan and Joe, but that doesn't make it any less real or true. Their love cuts deep, it leaves marks and a trail of blood in its wake.
