Can it be that bad? Can I even go through with it?
"It's a fuck, Ace. Nothing more. You ain't marrying her. Stop overthinking a one-night stand. I know you haven't forgotten how to fuck."
I nod slowly. "Jett, I know how to use my dick. That ain't my issue. It's that the second I sleep with someone other than Harper, that means it's game over. For real this time."
And that makes my chest nearly implode.
"Ace, I hate to break it to you—it was game over three weeks ago when I had to clean up your puke after what happened. There isn't any coming back. You have to move forward, not stand still. And to do that, you gotta get laid."
"Fine. I'll try. Happy now?" I grunt.
Jett laughs, shaking his head.
"This is like trying to get a toddler to eat vegetables. Except I'm trying to get a grown-ass man to eat pussy."
I run my hand over my face.
"Eatin' pussy kinda feels more like making love than a quick fuck."
Jett's mouth falls open. "Ace. That's the fuckin' foreplay. You don't have to love to appreciate a meal. Jesus. Same way blowjobs work."
Violet walks in, mouth open, and immediately walks back into the kitchen.
I stare at him. Blankly.
"Alright, fuck. Okay. Make a no-kissing rule. Small steps. Just sex. Dick involvement only."
I can't help but laugh.
"Not sure there's a woman out there who's going to agree to fucking me back into single life."
He bursts into uncontrollable laughter.
"Ace, you need to look at your social media comments. There are thousands of women who'd climb you like a fucking tree, no questions asked. And they don't even know about the dick piercings yet. All I'd need to do is post a story asking for resumes. You don't need dating apps—I've created one for you. You're welcome."
I need at least five more tequilas to deal with this.
He pulls out his phone, and I snatch it straight from his hand. "Nope. Just take me to a bar, and we'll see what happens. Alright?"
He grins. "Deal. Operation Ace Losing His Virginity is back on."
"I'm going to kill you," I mouth to Hunter.
The door crashes open again. Colten.
"So… are we on?"
I run a hand over my face. "You as well?"
Colten nods. "Was my idea, little bro."

Two pink lines stare back at me.
