Charlie and Me: shifters and partners, #27

By Hollis Shiloh

Peter is stuck in a dead-end job, maybe a dead-end life. It's still hard for him to accept that he's not straight, even though he should be used to it by now. The best thing in his life is his friend Charlie. Charlie is a wolf shifter and could qualify for a better job. Peter thinks he should try—one of them should get ahead in life—and Charlie has a counter offer: they get a job together through the Shifters and Partners program. If they do, it will mean spending a lot more time together. Time for Peter to realize it's getting harder and harder to imagine he might be straight after all...or to ignore his growing feelings for Charlie.
