Curious, she stepped toward it and the veil lifted. “Cool.”
    Her clothing came off in seconds, and she folded them, putting them on a shelf at the back of the kiosk. Lee breathed deeply and reached inward for her lioness. There was no need to reach, she came roaring to the surface and wrapped herself around Lee in a way she had never been allowed to before.
    Lee bounded out of the change room and bounced into the meadow. She shook her fur out and twitched her tail.
    Jim streaked out of the change room next to hers, and as he cleared the doorway, the gauzy film closed it. The enormous tiger ran to her and stroked his head against hers. She returned the greeting, scent marking him as he had her.
    His eyes were closed for a moment before he opened them and jerked his head. She followed his lead, and before she knew it, she was running.
    Her muscles extended and bunched as she felt the green of the grasses collapsing under her paws. It was glorious.
    She jumped at the butterfly that passed her and followed it through the meadow.
    The huff came a moment before Jim tumbled her through the grasses. She rolled free and shook her head. She crouched, her head and shoulders low while her hind legs prepared to spring.
    When Jim turned toward her, she lunged and caught him in the centre of his ribs, knocking him to his back. She didn’t stop. She kept moving past him and turned to crouch in attack posture again.
    A very human giggle was rippling through her thoughts. This was fun, plain old fun with no other purpose than enjoyment. She was getting ready to pounce again when another butterfly passed her nose. She batted at it and snapped. It was wily.
    Across the meadow, another butterfly flitted, and she took off after it, seeing the huge bulk of Jim’s furred form where she had just been sitting.
    She chased butterflies around the meadow for an hour. Jim lazed on a warm rock in the sun, and she occasionally brought him flowers or grasses that she found interesting.
    He covered his eyes when she carefully dragged a beaver over to him and it shifted form when she let it go. She sat and watched the man stalk back to the forest where she had caught him, and he returned to his beaver form.
    Lee settled in the grass and sighed. The sun was warm, her body was tingling with the ability to run free, and Jim was watching over her.
    She blinked and sat up when that thought occurred to her. She shook her head and looked warily at Jim.
    He merely gave her a lazy glance and got to his feet. He left the warm rock, settled on the grass and curled around her.
    She put her chin on his back and closed her eyes. There was time enough to examine her peculiar feelings for him later.

Chapter Six
    “What the hell is this?” Jim was awake under her, his human body was pressed to hers and his hand was on her lower back.
    “A scar. Well scars. It was my father’s favourite strike zone when I was shifted.” Lee blushed and then yelped as he sat up, flipped her so that she was lying across his lap and examining her back.
    “He scarred you. Why?”
    “To make us aware that we were his. All of my siblings are marked this way when we start to change. If we survive the infection, we know better than to show teeth around him. Come to think of it, that was the last time that I shifted fully.”
    “There are three layers of claw marks here.”
    She shrugged. “I suppose I was a slow learner.”
    His fingers delicately traced her spine. “Your father does not deserve to be one.”
    “I know, but at the same time, I am glad to be here.”
    Jim sighed and continued to stroke her back, idly running his fingertips to her buttocks and back. She squirmed a bit and tried to leave. “Well, I think you have seen all there is to see.”
    He sighed. “No, I haven’t, but it is enough for now.”
    His erection was pressing against her belly, so she gingerly moved away from it before rolling in the grass to face him.
    Jim was lovely as a tiger, but he was
