hoped they could be friends.
His eyelids drooped, and he knew he needed to sleep on it. Driving up to the house, he
parked and got out of the truck. Once inside, he took a hot shower and crawled into bed for a nap. Work and life seemed miles away.
Chapter Six
Three days had passed and not a text or a word from Danny. Justin had worked non-stop
on the natural experience proposal and even sent a copy to Frank.
The gossip network informed Justin that Frank was now home and recovering. Why
Danny hadn’t called or texted to say anything rubbed Justin raw. But Brandon seemed the same as ever. Relaxed and happy.
Tired of dwelling on the issues alone on a late Saturday morning, he drove over to the
tattoo shop and found Brandon getting ready to open.
“Hey, I thought you were all about the garage cleaning today.” Brandon kissed him.
“You’re alone?” Justin asked.
“No one scheduled until tonight, and my sister is home sick. I’m just opening and setting up. Too dark to get walk-ins now.” Brandon sat on an old sofa behind the front counter. “What’s wrong?”
Justin shrugged. “I can’t get it out of my mind.”
“It being Danny. That’s a he not an it.” Brandon slouched. “You want more.”
“Shut up. He never even texted back. Not a thank you. Nothing.” Justin flopped next to
Brandon.
“We’ll write Ms. Manners.” Brandon jabbed Justin in the ribs. “Cut the guy a break. He’s dealing with his family, which clearly is non-stop drama. His sexuality. His lack of a lifestyle here. And now, he knows about shifters.”
“I know. It’s petty of me, but I feel like he’s cut off all communication and we’re out in the cold.” Justin eyed his lover. “You don’t want more of him?”
Brandon grinned. “Of course, I do. Chemistry like that doesn’t happen every day. We can
still be friends. Give him some space for now. He’ll come around.”
Justin frowned. “He deserves what he gets. He’ll be some frustrated old closet case the
neighborhood kids are afraid of.”
“You’ve got it bad,” Brandon said.
Looking away, Justin knew there was no point in denying it. They read each other like no one else. “I didn’t mean to fall for him. High school crushes are supposed to stay in the past.
Acting out on the sex is one thing but falling for a total human? We can’t. We shouldn’t. He doesn’t deserve it.” Justin’s pulse pounded with contradictions.
Brandon nuzzled Justin’s neck and bit playfully. “Stop. All of it is pointless because the guy is in the closet. Okay? If he comes out, then it’s a conversation to have. Three-ways are no big deal. He might want a guy all for himself, okay? So we enjoy him until he finds that guy. We keep shifters around so it might be someone we want.”
“Pick up a third?” Justin couldn’t believe how far Brandon had thought out the plan.
“A pack of two wolf shifters isn’t much. You want to be our own pack. So we bring in
one more shifter, and Danny is our human lover.”
“Humans like monogamy,” Justin protested.
“Straight humans, maybe. We’ve had plenty of group activity with human men. Anything
is possible.” Brandon kissed down Justin’s chest and tugged his shirt up.
“But with his family? If he came out, they’d still want him paired up. Like my mom, she
loves you. If she knew we were screwing other guys…” Justin shook his head as his hips lifted to Brandon’s teasing.
“Of course. Privacy is necessary. But it could work if Danny were out. Quit stressing
over what might happen. You can’t change it. You’d never out him.” Brandon opened Justin’s fly.
Justin threaded his fingers into Brandon’s hair. Brandon could seduce any man with little effort. Already, Justin was hard and ready.
“No, I’d never out him. But he needs something. Some push.” Justin thrust up into
Brandon’s hot mouth.
Brandon worked the length of Justin’s cock and let it spring up on its own. “We
