My hand moved beneath the waistband of my shorts.

Damn you, Kingston Pierce.

My forbidden King.

Kingston

Can you die of a bad case of blue balls?

Hayes

Listen, if this forest fire hasn’t killed me, I think you can survive not getting laid for a few days.

Nash

I’ve gone without sex longer than you, so you came knocking on the wrong door for sympathy.

I didn’t ask for sympathy. I asked for medical advice.

Nash

I have to take Cutler to see Dr. Dolby today for his allergies, so I can ask him if you want.

River

The fact that Dr. Dolby is still alive is a miracle in itself. He’s got to be ninety years old by now. He was around before modern medicine was a term people used.

Romeo

Hey, don’t hate on Doc Dolby. The dude has helped me so much. He’s more like a healer.

River

My point exactly. He was alive in the 1800s, and they probably called him a healer before he went to medical school.

Can we please circle back to my dick? I’m serious. I wake up hard. I go to sleep hard. I’m concerned.

Nash

Go get laid, you whiny little bitch. I wake up hard and go to sleep hard every day. It’s called life, brother. We don’t all get to be pleasured every second of our day.

I knew I shouldn’t have asked about this on the group chat. I should have googled it.

Romeo

Ride or die. This is where you come with your problems.

Nash

Says the dude getting married in a few weeks. Of course, he’s all Zen and acting like the Dalai Lama. He lives with a woman. His needs are met every day.

Romeo

Touché. It’s damn good over here. I’m sure River would agree.
