Man in the Middle [Wolf Creek Pack 9]
Wolf Creek Pack 9
Man in the Middle
Chase Morgan has known for some time that Taylor Foyt and Justin Ried are his mates. He just can't claim them. It would put their lives in jeopardy, and Chase would do anything to keep them safe, even deny the bond between them.
Justin is desperate for Chase to claim him and Taylor. Not only does he ache to be loved by the strong wolf shifter, but he wants Taylor to be safe. After years of abuse at the hands of the Teacher, Taylor deserves to have someone take care of him for a change, and Justin knows Chase is just the wolf to do it.
Taylor's heart sinks a little each day as he watches Justin pine for a man that doesn't seem to want either of them. He just doesn't have a clue how to convince Chase that they belong together.
When Justin decides to take matters into his own hands, Taylor and Chase are forced to work together to find the man. They hit one obstacle after another. If it's not assassins bent on destroying them out of revenge, it's discovering that there may be more to Justin than just his pretty face. If they each can get over their fears of commitment, then they might actually have a chance at a life together, assuming they don't die first.

“What are you looking at?”
Justin glanced away from the window to look at his lover, Taylor. He gave a light shrug, feeling the longing he always felt when seeing the shifter. “He’s out there again, in wolf form this time.”
“How is that any different?” Taylor asked from behind Justin. “Chase is almost always in wolf form when he comes around.”
“He comes in human form sometimes,” Justin protested as he looked back out the second-floor window to the yard below. Chase Morgan was their mate, and both Justin and Taylor knew it. They’d known it for the last two months. Chase just hadn’t claimed them. Justin was beginning to wonder if the man ever would.
Justin had been waiting two months for the man to make a move, ever since he learned what a shape-shifter was when Chase rescued him. So far, nothing had happened. Chase didn’t even seem to want to be around them, unless he was in wolf form. He paced back and forth outside every so often, never coming close enough for Justin to think the man wanted anything more than to just catch a glimpse of them.
He was genuinely puzzled by Chase’s reluctance, but Justin had a theory that Chase’s wolf couldn’t deny the attraction even if the human side wanted to deny the fact. Chase’s wolf wanted to claim his mates. The human Chase had other ideas. Justin wished that the human side would shut the hell up and let the wolf side take over.
He wanted to be claimed. Taylor wanted to be claimed. But how could either man be claimed when the human part of Chase was being so stubborn?
“Do you think he’s ever going to claim us?” Justin asked as he watched the beautiful grey wolf pace back and forth along the tree line. His movements were slow, measured, and Justin was in awe at how graceful the wolf seemed as he navigated through the trees as he paced the forest behind their home. Justin turned when he felt Taylor’s hand gently touch his shoulder. Taylor glanced past him and out the window then shrugged as if he, too, wondered the same thing.
“I don’t know, maybe,” Taylor said, and then he shook his head. “Then again, maybe not.”
“Do you think he doesn’t want us?” Justin asked as he watched the smooth, sleek lines of the wolf’s muscles as Chase circled around a tree and began to walk back down the small dirt path.
The back of Taylor’s knuckles grazed Justin’s cheek softly. “How could he not want you, Justin? You’re beautiful, sweet, loving, everything a man could want in a lover.” Taylor looked a little sad as he gazed out the window at Chase’s wolf form. “Maybe after everything that happened, Chase hasn’t claimed you because of me. I wasn’t exactly innocent in the Teacher’s schemes, you know.”
Justin shook his head frantically, refusing to allow Taylor to cradle the blame on his shoulders. “No, you didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Justin, not even Nate wanted to trust me.”
“He just didn’t understand,” Justin insisted. “You did what you did for me. You know that, I know that. Even Chase knows that. Besides, we come as a set.” Justin wrapped his arms around Taylor’s waist and laid his head on the man’s shoulder. “You’re mine, and I won’t give you up. I need you like I need air.”
“You do know that if Chase claims us we’re going to have to share, right?” Taylor asked as he smoothed Justin’s hair back from his face. “How are you going to feel about that?”
Justin chuckled as the image of all three of them together played through his mind. “I think that would be pretty hot, don’t you?”
Taylor wiggled his brows playfully. “Yeah, Chase is damn sexy.”
Justin tilted his head back to look up into Taylor’s handsome face. “You don’t mind sharing?”
He leaned into the warm hand that Taylor cupped around his cheek. “As long as I never lose you, then I’m fine with it.” Taylor opened his mouth as if to continue then snapped it shut. He squeezed his eyes closed for a moment and hugged Justin to him. “I just can’t lose you, Justin.”
“You won’t,” Justin replied as he buried his face in Taylor’s neck and inhaled his musky scent, smelling the familiar scent that always brought him comfort. “A new love in our lives just means we have more love around us, not less. We just have to get Chase to understand that.” Which seemed like an impossibility at the way their mate was acting.
“Then how about putting a little show on for him?”
Justin could hear a sensuous lilt in Taylor’s voice that said the man was aroused. He’d know that sound anywhere. He leaned back and grinned at his lover. “Just what did you have in mind and will I enjoy it?”
He knew he would enjoy it. Justin always enjoyed anything that involved Taylor.
“I can pretty much guarantee it.”
“Then I’m in.”
Taylor grabbed Justin’s hand and started leading him toward the bedroom door. His face was filled with amusement, and his eyes held a mischievous glint that told Justin he was about to have a good time. “Let’s go downstairs to the couch. We want to make sure that Chase gets a really good view.”
Justin’s interest was piqued, and so was his cock, hardening behind his pajama bottoms and creating a tented effect. He willingly followed Taylor out of the bedroom and downstairs to the living room. A shaft of moonlight came through the double patio doors, giving the living room just enough light. The moon’s glow seemed to give the room an intimate feel, something that would only help set up the show they were about to give.
Justin stopped at the end of the couch and arched an eyebrow at Taylor. “So, just what did you have in mind?” Justin felt Taylor’s eyes move over his body like soft silk sliding over naked skin. Damn, that man was good. He just had to look at him, and Justin was raring to go.
“You could start by taking off your clothes and bending over the couch,” Taylor drawled seductively. “Just rest your arms on the edge of the couch. I want your ass sticking out as far as it can go. And make sure you spread your legs. We want to make sure that Chase has a front-row seat.”
Justin grinned and hooked his thumbs in the elastic waistband of his pajama bottoms, pushing them down his legs. He didn’t have a shirt on, so once the pajama pants were off his legs, he was naked.
He bent over the end of the couch and spread his legs, sticking his butt out and wiggling it for Taylor. Justin glanced over his shoulder just in time to see Taylor shuck his own pajama bottoms. He groaned, the sight of his lover’s naked body making him ache with need. The man’s cock was so thick and so heavy. It was a deep red, and pre-cum was leaking from the slit in the blunt head.
