“Watch your mouth,” I snarl back, surprising him.

“Yo yo yo,” he grunts. “Back off, buddy. Are you in love with her, or something?” I pocket my phone and glare at him, letting my eyes flash.

“Who said that?” I demand.

“Relax, dude,” he says, both hands up in a peace gesture. “Seriously, what’s up with you today?” I sigh and try to calm down. This territoriality around Jasmine is new, and it still takes me by surprise. I know Jake doesn’t mean anything because this is how we always talk. Or at least, it’s how weusedto. It’s me who’s changed, and it’s thrown us both for a loop.

“Yeah, actually,” I state, clearing my throat.

“Yeah, what?” Jake asks, his eyebrows rising.

“Yeah, I have feelings for her,” I rasp. “So watch what you say. This one’s different.”

“Clearly,” replies Jake, looking impressed. “But dude, don’t you have a harem?”

I shrug.

“So do you. That doesn’t mean that you don’t get attached.”

After all, Jake Wright has one of the biggest harems in New Jersey. That fucker used his dad’s money to purchase a multi-million dollar estate out in Closter, and he’s got naked girls running around 24/7. Not only that, but his girls are real young. There are no women over twenty-five, from what I understand.

But still, the harem thing is a tizzy.

“Jasmine was never a member of my group,” I growl. “It’s her mom who is.”

Jake squints.

“Are you kidding me?” he asks. “You have women old enough to be mothers?”

I roll my eyes.

“Yes. And she has an adult daughter as well.”

He whistles.

“Goddamn, buddy. I wouldn’t want your harem if you gave it to me on a silver platter. So how old is this Jasmine chick?” he asks.

“Eighteen,” I reply begrudgingly. I’ve come to terms with the huge age gap between us, but in my more doubtful moments about the morality of our relationship, I still wonder if what I’m doing is right.

“Nice,” grins Jake. “Now you’re speaking my language. So did you ever sleep with the mom? Is there a mother-daughter threesome in the works?”

I stare at him.

“You are one sick motherfucker, you know that?”

He holds his hands up, palms out.

“Hey, just asking. More power to you if you have. I’ve done sisters before. Twins, even, but never a mother-daughter duo.”

I roll my eyes again because obviously, talking to this asshole is pointless.

“No,” I say in a short tone. “I haven’t slept with the mom, and I don’t plan to. In fact, I haven’t slept with any of the other women since I met Jasmine.”

Jake whistles.

“So it must be serious between you two,” he concludes.

“Yeah,” I confirm. “I think it is.”
