Noah Hampton and Ash Reeves have history; bad blood, shared secrets, and too many memories they never finished dealing with.

The football player and the musician. They aren’t friends. They aren’t lovers. They are just two people who know exactly how to get under each other's skin, and into each other's pants.

It was only supposed to be sex but turns into something addictive and consuming. Nothing stays simple forever and “casual” has a shelf life. How much damage are they willing to do pretending it isn’t more?

Wayne's hopelessly in love with him.

And he's tired of hiding it.

Taking in a gay nineteen-year-old-runaway he nearly ran over in a rainstorm shouldn’t complicate any of that.

You would be wise to (re)read the previous parts of this trilogy, to get reacquainted with the characters; some you will know, some are new. Some references will hark back to previous writings, and will make more sense. This story is told from perspectives, so called Points of View (POV).
