that they’re smart.”
    Brendan frowned. “Thanks for your input, but let me worry about the new teacher.”
    Angus nodded and went to rubbing off his horse while Chase and Brendan left the barn, leaving Angus to care for the horses.
    Ten feet from the barn, Brendan glanced over to the cabin the ladies were housed in. One side of the lacy curtains was opened just far enough to know they were being watched.
    “I sure thought we had seen the last of Katlyn back at that club,” Chase said.
    “Well, it seems she made it out of there just fine, but how on earth did she find her way here, and what did Katlyn mean when she said she didn’t have anything to go back to?”
    “I suppose we’ll have to ask her when we get the chance.”
    “I think we need to distance ourselves from Katlyn. She could mean trouble for us here.”
    Chase smiled. “Aren’t you at all curious about what it’d feel like to actually be with her? We really got shortchanged back in Wisconsin.”
    Brendan’s crotch pulled tightly as his cock twitched. “Well, we can’t fuck her now. It will only complicate matters.”
    “Not tonight, perhaps, but there are other nights. I’m concerned, though, about Angus. What if he’s interested in Katlyn?”
    “Hopefully, that’s not the case. I’d hate to call the man out for sniffing too close. We really need to try and stay clear of her, but there’s no way I’ll allow another shifter near her.”
    “Katlyn’s different than most human women we’ve encountered.”
    Brendan ambled back to the main house. “True, but most women we’ve been with, it was only a one time deal. We’ve never seen any of them again. We’re sure not used to having one turn up at our door.”
    “I’d personally like to hear what happened to her after that night at the club. Whatever happened afterward scared her enough to drive her into our arms.”
    “She didn’t come here for that, or so she says. I think we need to keep a close eye on her. I’d hate to think that she came here for another reason, like to bring us all down. If she’s part of the Shifter Patro—”
    “She’s not. She can’t be. But not to worry. We’ll figure out what she wants soon enough. Her friend, Tessa, is another interesting detail that we might want to check out, if Katlyn isn’t willing to finish what she started back at that club.”
    “Chase, you’ll never change, but I think we need to stay away from the both of them. Angus might be soft on that one for all we know. I’d hate to get in his way in that regards. Besides, he’s a good protector. He’ll keep the ladies safe when we can’t watch over them.”
     

Chapter Six
    Katlyn snapped the curtains closed when Brendan and Chase disappeared around the front of the main house. When she turned, Tessa had a humongous grin on her face.
    “So, those are the guys you had sex with back in Wisconsin?”
    “We didn’t get anywhere close to that. We were interrupted, remember?”
    “Didn’t you say one of them fingered, you at least?”
    “Yes, but I had yet to see either of them naked, and now it’s going to be so hard to stay away from them. I can’t help but wonder how it would all have played out.”
    Tessa poured wine into two glasses. “You’ll have plenty of time to turn that fantasy into reality.”
    “I’m not sure I want to. I mean, I want to, but with the Shifter Patrol and all, I’m just worried where it will all lead. What if they find me here, or us?”
    “That’s not something you need to worry about right now. Perhaps they’ll stay in the east and not venture here in the west.”
    “I wish I knew that for certain, but since Brendan and Chase are mountain lion shifters, I wonder who else might be?”
    “True, but does it really matter. You said Brendan and Chase saved your ass. I personally feel safer being around them. Besides, who would dare come to the ranch, or suspect that the same shifters that killed a member of the patrol would be here in
