And I do, I can’t deny it. Getting her off earlier with Hunter was the most natural thing in the world. I felt even closer to Hunter than I ever have before, not in a sexual way, but in a family way. I don’t know how else to describeit.

“I’m not as jealous as I thought I’d be,” Jordan says, leaning back. “I expected to be jealous, you know? But I don’t feelit.”

“It’s like you’re happy for her,right?”

He nods, watching the band play. “Exactly. I wasn’t the one getting her off, but I’m glad she feltgood.”

“Especially after dealing with that littlebastard.”

He groans. “I almost regret getting herinvolved.”

“Me too, but we chose her for areason.”

“You’re right. She’ll be good atit.”

“She just needs sometime.”

We both go silent then and watch as the trumpet player dives deeper into a solo, really blaring at it, really going hard. Sweat’s dripping from the drummer’s brow as he brushes the hi-hat, slapping the snare, stomping the kick. I close my eyes and briefly, I feel like I can taste her all overagain.

“Listen, I have to get going.” Jordan breaks the spell and I look over athim.

“Okay. I’m going to stay here a littlelonger.”

He nods a bit and hesitates. “Listen, you should know, I’m really starting to get attached to her. I mean, it’s so fast,but…”

“I get it,” I say. “I feel the same way. I think we alldo.”

“It’s not some bullshitgame.”

I meet his gaze. “It’snot.”

He nods once. “Good.” He stands up and his eyes stray across the bar. “See youlater.”

He walks out and I watch him go. I reflect on the serious expression on his face, the intensity in his gaze. He’s not joking around, not at all. And I’m noteither.

This isn’t some fling for me. At first maybe I thought it would be a bit of fun, we all share this girl, we have some fun, and eventually we end it. But now, I’m starting to think longterm. And that scares me a little bit, because I have no clue what the others are thinking, or what she’s thinking. But if I could have it my way, right now I’d choose for us to stay like this forever. I could share her with them for as long as we’re all alive and I’d be happy. It’s strange, but it’s true. I don’t need anything tochange.

I just need more of her. And I need her to have more of them. It’s crazy and mixed up but… it feels good. And it’s not hurtinganyone.

In this world, if something feels good and isn’t hurting anyone, you have to go for it. You can’t back off. I’ve learned that one too many times. I won’t let this slip through myfingers.

I lean back in my chair, a little smile on my face. I take out my phone and type up a text. “Still thinking about the way you taste. Looking forward to seeing you down on yourknees.”

I send it to Tori and sip my drink. She responds almost rightaway.

“You can have it whenever youwant.”

I smile to myself and go back to enjoying themusic.

Tori

“What areyour goals for this year,Dustin?”

He stares at me blankly and for a second I think he might actually answer me thistime.

Instead, he says, “To get wasted and fuckbitches.”
