Imagine if you will there’s a pill that will make the person who takes it do whatever you say. You (a straight dude) obtain one of these pills with the idea of slipping it to a woman you pick up in a bar, to ensure you get laid. Because yes, apparently that’s what straight dudes do. Now, what do you do when your roommate, also straight, takes the pill by mistake because you hid it in the medicine chest in a box labeled paracetamol? Do you still want to get off, even though you and your roommate aren’t gay?

The answer in this erotic fantasy is, of course, the straight boys get it on, with Tim, the unfortunate roommate who took the pill, doing everything that Hunter says. Most erotic fantasies require you to suspend disbelief at least a little. This one also requires you to suspend outrage as well. Hunter’s original plan amounted to date rape, yet there’s not much said about that. Then there’s the whole non-consensual aspect of what Hunter does to Tim. As mentioned in the blurb, there’s a strong suggestion by the end that both men enjoy what happens, although it’s hard to know what Tim is really feeling.

The story is told entirely from Tim’s point of view. We don’t get to know either young man very well, but it seems that Tim is more of a “twink” to Hunter’s jock. One thing we get from Tim’s inner monologue is that he might not be as entirely straight as he tells himself, even before Hunter uses him for sexual gratfication.
