STEAMY
    by Vicktor Alexander

    Three hot, buff, naked young men in a communal shower have all paused to stare at the viewer.

    Dear Author
    There is nothing better than a hot shower after a hot and sweaty workout unless it's hot shower sex. I just finished working out and I thought I was alone when I stepped into the locker room I froze in my tracks when I saw 3 pairs of eyes stared at me as if they want to eat me alive what's a guy to do?
    Sincerely,
    Ian

    STEAMY
    by Vicktor Alexander
    CHAPTER 1
    Tabansi sighed heavily as he stepped into the building housing Elabore, the hottest gym on Kartas. It had been a very hard day for him and he was looking forward to blowing off some steam. He'd lost a patient on his operating table that morning. The young man had been caught in a fire that had been set to his home the night before, and his death had hit Tabansi hard. Tabansi had overheard the officers at the hospital talking about the accelerant used to burn down the home and he'd been shocked. Rodney had only been 21, the age that Tabansi had been when his partners had passed away. Tabansi shook his head slightly. He didn't want to think about his lovers, the ones that he'd seen his future with who had left him behind. He only wanted to focus on the here and now. The present. He'd worry about the past some other time…like when he was drunk and wasn't in complete control of himself. Even better, he'd worry about the past when he was standing before the Royal Marriage Group trying to give them a better explanation for why he was still an unattached coração and why they shouldn't force him back into another marriage soiree or prostitution. Yeah, that seemed like a much better time to think about the past and how much life had already fucked him over.
    Walking up to the check-in desk, Tabansi gave himself a mental shake and smiled at the young man sitting there, what was his name again? Oh yeah, Rocher.
    "Hi, Rocher," Tabansi greeted the younger man with a smile.
    "Hi, Dr. Vorlundiz. Are you coming in just for the steam room or are you coming for a workout?" Rocher asked him and Tabansi grinned broadly. He only ever came in to either work out or to use the steam room. He knew that there were other men in Kartas who came to Elabore for more… enjoyable pursuits, but many of them had never experienced the devastation that Tabansi had experienced. The loss of a loved one was hard. The loss of two was even worse, especially when it happened simultaneously.
    "I'm actually coming to work out this time, Rocher," Tabansi stated with a low chuckle. "I feel like I've been slacking a bit when it comes to staying in shape and you know, as a doctor, that's just not a very good example to be setting, especially when you tell your patients to make sure they exercise and stay in shape."
    Rocher nodded his head, his small white teeth coming out to nibble on his bottom lip. Tabansi was surprised at the stirring he felt in his groin. What was going on there? He hadn't been sexually stimulated in the last three years. Not since…
    Ruthlessly shoving away the depressing thoughts of his lovers, Tabansi once again focused on the sights around him. His eyes traveled over the room, taking in the exercise machines, the mats… the hard male bodies as they pushed their bodies to the limit. The room was filled with tall, broad-shouldered men as they worked out every area of their bodies and muscles. Tabansi's eyes mapped the planes of each man as he walked towards the locker room. He wrestled with himself, trying to call forth images of Christopher and Trevor, before realizing that even when the two men had been alive, he'd allowed himself to appreciate the scenery. He might not be ready to get involved in another relationship, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with checking out the merchandise. Tabansi moved on, skirting around the edge of the workout room as he continued to appreciate the fine male specimens that filled the building.
    Walking slowly towards the locker room, Tabansi found his gaze trapped by the sight of three beautiful men working out by the incline machine. Stumbling slightly, he stopped himself
