Stray Cat Strut Shelley Munro and "Middlemarch Mates and " I met a male lion shifter in the pub last night. Not that my father would approve since it reinforces my gay status, but Lucas is incredible. Tall. Golden. Sexy. Our gazes met and we clicked. The evening turned into night. The sex was hot. Intense. Real magic that doesn't happen every day. Hell, it electrified me. By the time the night was over I craved more. I hungered for a future because it's no fun living alone like a stray cat. I'm just like every Middlemarch shifter, gay or not. All I want is love.
