Keith and Alex are hired axes for musician Damon Chase’s latest tour. At hotel stops, they’re roommates. Out in public, they’re terrible flirts—with each other. But late at night, after the shows are over, Alex brings chicks back to the room, and Keith, suffering from sexual malaise brought on by the crazy-easy access of chicks on this tour, plays video games on his laptop and tunes out the noises going on three feet away from him. Alex wants Keith to join in—he even sends a girl over to his bed. Alex just can’t conjure the interest. Until, in the dark early morning, someone slips under the sheets with him. And it isn’t one of the chicks. "Hotel Rooms (and Their Deleterious Effects)" is a 15,000-word erotica story about two questionably straight guys.
