Morgan's Mates (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) by Dani April

don’t um…” The two men stared at Morgan. They were both dangerous. She wasn’t kidding herself about that, and she was so vulnerable right now she could wind up in a lot of trouble with them. “It’s hard for me to talk about Nathan.” Inside she was all knots and tension.
    “Drink some more of your coffee,” Drake suggested.
    “I want to ask you some questions about shape-shifters?”
    “Shoot.” Hunter had that wicked smile as he regarded her. In spite of how she felt, Morgan knew she was being drawn in.
    “When you guys shift and become the wolf, how long do you normally stay like that?” This was the million-dollar question. No one else seemed to want to or be able to help her. Maybe these two strangers could.
    The men looked at each other. Morgan thought their answers and really everything about them was probably calculated. She had dated enough men in college to know the routine. But these two were definitely good at it.
    “I haven’t shifted in months,” Hunter told her. “I’ve got more important things to do with my time.” He gave her that sun-blasting evil look that made her want to melt. “And I don’t even have a girlfriend now.”
    “I think it varies with all shifters,” Drake calmly explained. Drake seemed honest and made her feel comfortable. He also seemed like a man who knew a lot about shape-shifting and might be her best hope. “I would say most shifters like to go out a few times a week. But what Hunter said is partially true.” Drake gave his friend an offhanded look. “Shifters normally get a big sexual turn-on when they change forms. Hunter hasn’t had any female company in a while, so he hasn’t really wanted to frustrate himself by shifting. Personally, I just like to relax and go out once a month or so whether I have a date or not. It all depends on the individual.”
    “But it is a sexual turn-on,” Hunter told her and backed it up with a wink and a sure smile. “You have to be naked to shift.”
    Morgan cleared her throat and looked down at the living room carpet. These two were so very dangerous all right. But here they were sitting in her home. She had invited them inside, for God’s sake.
    “I’m asking for a reason.” Morgan tried to force herself to focus. It wasn’t easy with both men watching her. They seemed interested in everything she had to say. Under different circumstances she would have really appreciated that. Now it just made her nervous. “My boyfriend Nathan shifted two months ago, and he’s never returned.”
    “He could have gotten lost in the mountains,” Drake offered. Morgan felt ashamed. It sounded as if her boyfriend had left her.
    “No. He’s still a wolf. He’s out there in those mountains all right. He comes by the house sometimes. But he’s always a wolf. I don’t think he can shift back.”
    “That sounds like BS to me. Pardon my language, but it does.” This from the cocksure Hunter, who seemed to have made himself quite at home on her couch.
    “Did he say anything the last time you saw him as a man?” Drake asked.
    Morgan took a deep breath. This was the hard part. It made it sound as if Nathan didn’t care about her, and she knew that couldn’t be further from the truth. “He told me he was going to shift and be gone for a long time. He said it might even be a year or more.”
    “You must think all us shifters are just plum crazy long about now?” Hunter asked her.
    Morgan had to smile at that. The thought had crossed her mind. “Not at all,” she answered politely. “The only thing I’m thinking about is getting Nathan back. I’m out of my mind with worry about him.”
    “Have you spoken with any of his friends or family?” Drake asked.
    Morgan shook her head. “They’re no help. I don’t get along with his family.” She gripped her hands in her lap. She felt like she was unloading a sob story to two total strangers. This made her feel even more vulnerable and like she should pull back from
