Welcome to the fourth and final installment of the She series.
Jordan visits Damian after returning from the South Pacific, where he has been with she. Damian has split from his husband, Keith, and needs comfort and solace from his friend.
Jordan wants consoling, as well. As usual, she has left him feeling lonely and confused, and he's just not sure how much more he can take. Although he has fallen in love with her, the mystery surrounding her identity has finally lost its allure.
Jordan cares very deeply for Damian as a friend. Trouble is that Damian, given the chance, would do anything to rekindle the physical intimacy of their youth, and Jordan must be careful not to give his friend hope.
But she and Damian are also good friends, and when Damian finally reveals her secret, Jordan is outraged and humiliated.
And in that state of emotional turmoil, he makes a decision that could be painfully irrevocable.
This story features explicit encounters between consenting adults.
