Please welcome my guest blogger Gale Stanley with Odd Man Out (Watchdogs 3).
BLURB
Ray
and Jared were living the perfect life until Ray discovered his ability to
shift. Now he dreams of his wolf every night, and lives in fear of the beast.
Remus
is the only man who can help Ray control his inner wolf. But if they connect
will Jared become the odd man out?

“Wake the fuck up! Come
on, Ray, wake up.”
Jared gripped Ray’s upper
arms and shook him again. No response. Nobody sleeps that soundly. For Christ’s
sake, he looked catatonic, like the woman in The Fall of the House of Usher,
who’s pronounced dead and then buried alive. Now Jared was scared. He considered
throwing cold water on him, maybe calling for an ambulance. He shook Ray again.
Slowly, Ray opened his
right eye. An explosion in Afghanistan took his left eye years ago.
“Jared?” Ray mumbled.
“Yeah, Jared. Were you
expecting someone else?”
Ray looked around the
room. He seemed confused.
“Snap out of it, man. I
couldn’t wake you.”
“I'm awake. I’m awake.”
Ray stretched. He looked like he wanted to go back to sleep.”
“You scared the hell out
of me.”
“Sorry. I must have been
dreaming.”
“Must have been some
dream. There’s a wet spot on the bed.”
Ray checked the sheets. He
looked surprised. “Sorry.”
“Forget it, Sexy.” Jared
climbed into bed with him. “Tell me all the dirty details. I want to get off
too.”
“You know I never remember
my dreams.” Ray rolled out of bed. “I better change the sheets.”
Jared made a grab for him.
“Later.”
Ray evaded him. “Look at
the time, Jared.”
“You used to call me
Baby?” Jared spoke more harshly than he intended.
“Fuck the sheets, and the
time. We own the company. Let’s go in late. Better yet, let’s take the day
off.”
“We can’t afford to close
shop, even for one day. Too many P.I.’s in Jersey. The completion is killing
us. ”
“We’re the new guys in
town. All we need is a big profile case and the clients will be knocking our
door down.”
“I hope so.” Ray headed
toward the bathroom. “I’m gonna shower.”
“Come back, I’ll give you
a tongue bath instead.”
The bathroom door slammed
behind Ray. Worried, Jared lay back with his arms under his head. Ray never
wanted to fuck anymore. He always had an excuse. I’m too tired. It’s late. I’m drunk. I have a headache.
The sex had been dwindling
for months. Six months to be exact. Ever since Remus showed up and screwed up
their lives. If he was just another man Jared could handle the competition, but
Remus was larger than life, a superhero who’d come from Ray’s past to claim
him.
