Chapter 67

• Roth mindlessly drove around after exiting the hotel, ashamed at what he had just done. Despite it being Mandy’s profession and Roth knowing that she must have received worse, he felt bad for only having used her for sex and walking out on her without even turning back to look at her.
• But he needed to fuck someone’s brains out to get his own brains to start functioning. Tristan’s unintended confession had made matters more complicated for Roth. Earlier he was of the idea that Tristan was only physically attracted to him, but now as Tristan’s breaking voice kept echoing in his ears, he was compelled to be open to the idea of Tristan being in love with him.
• Earlier it was easy being around Tristan, having his fun teasing him, watching his body perk up responding to Roth’s touch, but now he could not deliberately hurt his feelings. It would fill him with guilt if he would take a woman back home knowing it would hurt Tristan.
