He needs a partner who wants the pleasure and the pain he can give. After his search lands him on the wrong end of the fantasy at the hands of a ruthless predator, Derek returns to his accustomed hunting ground of Blue Ruin with one purpose in mind: revenge. He gets it, but he also ends up rescuing the predator's next intended victim, a homeless blue-haired waif who is just Derek's type. He brings the incoherent young man home, needing to find out what he saw, and ensure he won't tell anyone. The scenario couldn't be more perfect to service Derek's dominant fantasies -- Shane "Blue" McGowan wakes up groggy, blindfolded, and chained to a stranger's bed. Upon finding himself in luxurious surroundings, the cunning Blue realizes two things: he has no desire to return to a life on the streets, and his handsome captor stirs strange and unfulfilled longings in him. Manipulating the terms of his own "imprisonment," Blue swings a place to stay in exchange for his silence about a second stranger left beaten and unconscious behind Blue Ruin. To sweeten the deal, Blue agrees to become Derek's submissive. But as their relationship progresses, is Blue truly at Derek's mercy, or is Derek at Blue's? 4032981 1 2008 Blue Ruin 1: Some Kind of Stranger total:50|5:22|4:17|3:10|2:1|1:0| 50 210 83 9 5 7 false false Sat Jun 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Nov 10 09:41:00 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 14:38:56 -0800 2008

The kink, Derek, Blue, Blue's hair, Derek beating down on bad bad man, and the tears, just to name a few. Which by the way reminded me of that song by Enrique Iglesias Love to see you cry: "I don't know why why but I love to see you cry".
