stayed where he was until Chief Stewart arrived. As he exited, he noted that
throughout the entire ordeal, the other men in the dungeon barely noticed the
encounter.

Epilogue
The cool dryness of central Oklahoma was a dramatic change from the New
England coast. Corey looked out the patio door at the fading sunlight. The
wounds on his butt had almost healed, but mental ones remained.
A short man with long, blond hair pulled into a ponytail walked up behind,
and handed him a bottle of beer. Corey glanced over Ian s gymnastic build with
an approving eye, but ripped his gaze away.
It s okay, Corey. Ian said, his tone laced heavy with concern.
No, it s not okay, he protested. That s how I got into this shit in the first
place.
How can you expect to conquer this and move on if you keep beating
yourself up for everything?
He turned back to his friend. Thanks for letting me hang out here for a few
days.
Not a problem, Corey. Stay as long as you need. Ian s voice had a soothing
cadence.
He smiled. Ian s use of the word need instead of like revealed his concern
and worry. The governor of Massachusetts gave me permission to take two
weeks off. He understands the importance of getting away.
You didn t tell him all the details, did you?
No way. Right now, you re the only one who knows how badly this
incident freaked me out.
What about Ethan?
Corey knew this subject needed to be addressed, even though it was painful.
His partner hadn t taken the details well. Upon finding out that he d sex with
two other men, and was almost killed, Ethan had been stunned, shocked and
mortified. Corey accepted his suggestion of a brief separation and left him at
their home in Boston to stay with Ian, an Oklahoma psionic detective, like
himself. Buttocks and necks had not suffered nearly as much as egos or trusts.
Corey shrugged and heaved out a heavy sigh. Ian gestured to some chairs in
the living room after he didn t speak for a few seconds. I don t know what to
say to him. He sat with care, as the cuts on his butt still stung. I don t even
know what to say to myself.
What do you mean?
I m so ashamed to think that I was turned on by those situations. His voice
rose to a shout as a roller coaster of emotions took their toll. Doesn t that make
me a freak? The thing that concerns me most is how it almost got me killed.
Ian s features remained unreadable to him. Corey had struggled with this
new realization, a side of himself he was too embarrassed to face.
You zoned out, Corey. Something that all of us have done, Ian reassured.
This guy, Mitch& you said that his emotions were always full-throttle open. Do
you think that might have had an affect on you? Think about it. You didn t have

these extreme erotic feelings until after you met him.
He sat in silence as he mulled it over. You may be right. I ve never been
turned on by dominating someone or being completely helpless. He stopped
himself before saying or death . It was still too scary. He shuddered at the
memories.
Ian set his bottle down. He pulled Corey toward him and wrapped arms
around his body, engulfing him in warmth and trust.
For the first time in years, Corey broke down and wept.
