Man in the Middle [Wolf Creek Pack 9] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour ManLove) Stormy Glenn (top ten books to read TXT) 📖

Justin curled his fingers into the couch as his ass was filled with Taylor’s hot cum. He felt warmed from the inside out and worn out. Taylor could be very…aggressive in the sack, or over the side of the couch. All Justin wanted to do now was curl up with his lover and go to sleep.

Justin started to close his eyes, but he was jarred awake by a loud howl outside the sliding glass doors. He turned to see Chase’s wolf form pacing back and forth on the edge of the tree line more frantically, manically.

He reached back and patted Taylor’s hip. “Need up, hon.”

Taylor grunted but pulled his flagging cock out of Justin, sliding in to take Justin’s place on the side of the couch when Justin stood up. Justin walked unsteadily over to the sliding glass door. He could see Chase watching him intently. Hell, he could feel those wolf eyes locked on to him.

He hoped that this time Chase would come in and talk to them. He was tired of not being claimed. He knew from pretty much everyone around him how special being mated could be, and he wanted that for him and Taylor. He wanted Chase for him and Taylor.

Justin slowed as he approached the door, not wanting to scare Chase off. He clicked the lock and then slid the door open. The wolf stopped his pacing but came no closer. Justin stepped out onto the patio, but he didn’t try to move closer to Chase.

“Chase.” That was all he said. Apparently, that was all he needed to say. The wolf threw back his head and let out a loud, long howl that sent shivers up Justin’s arms, and then he took one last look at Justin before turning and running off through the trees.

“Chase, no!” Justin stumbled a few steps before he lost sight of Chase. His shoulders slumped as a heavy weight settled on his shoulders. Chase really didn’t want them. His wolf might, but that was just animal instinct. Chase, the man, didn’t want him or Taylor. He wasn’t sure why Chase was acting this way toward them, but at that moment, Justin felt the sting of rejection heavy in his heart.

“Justin, come back inside.”

“Why doesn’t he want us, Tay?” Justin asked as he continued to look out into trees, hoping Chase would come back but knowing he wouldn’t. After a moment, he glanced over his shoulder at Taylor. “Is it because we’re human?”

“I don’t know, honey.”

Taylor looked as dejected as Justin felt. Justin blew out a heavy breath and then turned to walk back into the house. There was no sense sticking around out here. It was obvious that Chase wasn’t coming back.

After two months of being denied, Justin was starting to think that he and Taylor didn’t stand a chance. “Maybe it’s time to admit that Chase doesn’t want us and move on with our lives.”

Taylor’s eyes narrowed. “Move on how?”

Justin shrugged. “Just move on. Admit it, we’re sticking around Wolf Creek because we’ve been waiting for Chase to claim us. It’s obvious that he’s not going to. There really doesn’t seem to be any reason to stay.”

“He could come around,” Taylor protested.

Justin seriously doubted it. If Chase hadn’t come around in the last two months, he wasn’t going to. He wouldn’t even talk to Justin or Taylor. He avoided them like they had some sort of disease.

Justin inhaled suddenly and grabbed for the edge of the doorframe as he realized that one of them did have a disease and that might very well be why Chase hadn’t claimed them. Maybe wolves didn’t accept defective mates?

Which meant…Justin glanced back at Taylor as he walked into the house. If Chase wasn’t claiming them because Justin was sick, that meant Justin was keeping Taylor from being claimed. Taylor wasn’t sick.

Justin was.

Justin hurried up the stairs and into the bathroom. He shut the door behind him and leaned back against it. His heart thundered in his chest so much that it ached. If Chase claimed Taylor, then Taylor would always be protected and cared for by Chase and the rest of the Wolf Creek Pack. He’d be safe.

Justin never wanted anything more than he wanted Taylor to be safe. The man had given up so much to care for Justin—his freedom, his dignity, even the respect of their friends. Maybe it was time for Justin to give something up so that Taylor could be protected and cared for.

And there was only one way to do that.

Chapter 2

Chase groaned inwardly when he stepped out of his house and saw Justin standing on the opposite side of the road looking like a lost angel. He’d done everything he possibly could to avoid Justin and Taylor since meeting them.

He wasn’t ready to have one mate, let alone two. He was in no position to have mates. His life was too chaotic, too dangerous. Mates complicated things. Two mates would make twice as much trouble.

It didn’t matter how much he wanted to claim them. And, sweet mercy, he wanted to. It just could not happen. Chase cringed when he thought of the dangers that could befall Justin and Taylor if he was to claim them. It would be his worst nightmare come to life.

But damn if the sight of Justin wasn’t temptation incarnate.

He stared at Justin for a moment, trying to fight the urge to go to the sexy little man and claim him. His wolf was growling and clawing at him, demanding he do just that. And it was all Chase could do to deny him.

Most times, he couldn’t. His wolf was stronger, one of the strongest in his family. When he shifted, his wolf took over and always beat a path right to Justin and Taylor’s door, ignoring any and all protests Chase had about going anywhere near the two men. Only by sheer will had he been able to keep his distance.
