Katlyn (M/F/M red-hot menage shifter romance) Standalone (Shadow Creek Shifters Book 1) by Madison Johns Page A

Let’s get to work, then.”
    Katlyn and Tessa worked the next few hours and had the place fairly clean, but Angus came and led them outside. “That’s enough for you two. Brendan and Chase’s orders.”
    Ranch hands passed them and went into the schoolhouse. “But they can’t do that. It’s my responsibility.” Katlyn said.
    “Nonsense. You got pretty sick already, from what I heard. Besides, the furniture will be delivered soon and that’s some back-breaking men’s work.” Angus winked. “Go on back and get some rest before dinner.”
    Katlyn glanced around and was disappointed that Brendan and Chase were nowhere to be seen. “You’re probably right. I still feel a little queasy.”
     

Chapter Seven
    Katlyn frowned, going through the stack of clothing Angus had brought, compliments of Paige. “There’s nothing in here besides flannel and tee shirts,” Katlyn complained to Tessa who was already dressed in a blue, scoop-neck shirt that displayed her round breasts. Katlyn’s chest, on the other hand, was quite smaller, but with the right bra she could manage some cleavage.
    Tessa pulled out a pink tee shirt from the pile. “Try this one. It’s smaller than the one you have on, and will hug your curves.”
    Off went one shirt and when Katlyn pulled the pink shirt into place, it did indeed hug her frame, even though Katlyn was jealous of Tessa’s more curvy body.
    “Don’t worry, I think you could wear a baggy shirt and Brendan and Chase would still want you?”
    “I don’t care what they think,” Katlyn said, even though it was a total lie. “I just want to look presentable. Cleaning that schoolhouse was a dirtier job than I thought. I wish I’d been able to hold my breakfast, is all.” The truth was that she had felt mortified after she had gotten so sick earlier in front of Brendan and Chase.
    “I wouldn’t worry about that. Those men were genuinely concerned about you back there.”
    “I know, and that surprised me. I’ve never known men to be so caring and understanding about it. I just hate to appear weak to anyone.”
    “You’re one strong woman, Katlyn, and gutsy, too. Who else would go to a club, looking for a three-way with two hot shifters?”
    “Well, I didn’t know that the club was for shifters. If I had, I’ve never would have gone.” Katlyn donned a clean pair of jeans and her shoes followed. “I didn’t know that shifters were real.”
    “Me, either, but it seems they’ve been smart enough to stay underground. But since the Shifter Patrol was formed, it’s been an outright war against shifters, it seems.”
    “Who even sanctioned them? The government?”
    “From all the information I found on their website before we came here, they’re a vigilante group, but so far the government hasn’t taken any action to disband them so I wonder.” Tessa frowned. “Perhaps you should have reported to the police how the patrol murdered everyone in that club.”
    “No way. It’s too risky. For all I know, they’re in cahoots with them. It’s better to just forget it and concentrate on fitting in here.”
    “You could start by getting to know Brendan and Chase better,” Tessa hinted.
    “No, I can’t do that. Even if they wanted that, too, it’s more complicated now. I’m here to teach, don’t forget.”
    “Actually I meant like who they are as people, or er—shifters. There has to a history there. And who is Paige to them?”
    “I don’t think it’s a good idea to pry into their life here. I had the feeling last night that they weren’t too happy that I showed up here.”
    “Probably not since you know who they are and shifters need to remain incognito.”
    Katlyn made her way down the stairs, and outside, Angus was waiting for them with an SUV with the signage of Shadow Creek Ranch emblazoned on the side. Katlyn climbed into the back while Tessa sat in the front.
    “You look mighty beautiful tonight, ladies.”
    “Thanks,” they chimed
