waist, and she buried her face in that broad, spectacular chest. Without warning, the edge of orgasm splintered into a thousand pieces of rainbow-colored pleasures, the sweet bliss of his cock stroking her into yet a thousand more.
A deep, guttural groan slid from Jarethâs lips, his head tilting back. Amber looked up in awe at the pure masculine beauty of that momentâthe lust and pleasure wrenching across his features. It was arousing in ways that reached beyond her orgasm. And when he tilted his head down, his eyes meeting hers, she sucked in a breath at what she sawâhis eyes were yellow, not teal as they had been before, yellow like the jaguarsâ.
Amber had found Yaguara in Jarethâand it was a secret she could never share with the world. Because, after tonight, she knew why her instincts had made her feel the need to protect Jareth back at her camp. Jareth was hunted, and the hunters were nearby. Somehow, she had to make him seeâshe and her crew were not those Hunters.

The full moon turned the waterfall into a stream of white fire pouring into the pond where Jareth and Amber lingered, blasting over the rocks with an illuminating force. As if nature knew what Jareth didâAmber could no longer be left in the dark. Jareth rubbed his chin across the silky soft veil of Amberâs fast-drying hair, again thinking of how easy it would be to throw her over his shoulder and carry her to his cabinâkeep her naked and beneath him. Safe.
Regrettably, though it would be pleasurable, doing that would only delay the inevitable. He had to enlighten her about the Hunters that sheâd aligned herself with, and the danger that situation could put her in. He inhaled, forcing his body from hers, and pressed his hands to her face.
âWe have much to discuss,â he said. âAnd as long as you are naked, talking is the last thing on my mind.â He scooped her into his arms, his gaze sweeping her puckered nipples, water droplets begging for his mouth. Instantly, his dick throbbed, thickening with desire. âWe definitely need clothes.â
Amber clung to his neck. âSomething tells me naked in the pond is going to be far more enjoyable than what you have to tell me.â He didnât comment. Any relief Jareth felt at discovering Amberâs innocence had quickly faded into the need for action. He stepped out of the pond, settled her on the ground. She was already in question mode. âWho are these Hunters you spoke of?â
He reached down and snagged her clothes, pressing them into her hands. âDress and then weâll talk.â Thinking of that hot, sweet body tightening around his, he added, âQuickly would be my preference.â He turned and gave her his back, determined to get dressed himself. The more barriers between them, the easier it would be to focus on the business at hand.
âI have a million questions,â she said behind him, thankfully scuffling around enough for him to believe she was actually putting on her clothes. âUgh. Itâs really hard to put on wet clothes.â
âTell me about it,â he grumbled as he endured the snug ride of his blue jeans up his wet thighs. Unable to resist, he glanced over his shoulder in time to see her tugging a T-shirt over a wet, practical-looking, black bra that still managed to be damn sexy. She was damn sexy. He grimaced and turned away, tugging his shirt over his head.
âSo Yaguara is real,â she said, her voice filled with wonder.
Jareth tugged on his boots, tied his hair back at his neck, and turned to find Amber fully dressed, hands on her hips, her clothes wet and clinging to her curvy hips and breasts. He gave her a short nod. âYes. Yaguara is real.â
A look of wonder slid over her face. âAs in living today. Not extinct.â
âA small population remains,â he said. He motioned in the direction of two large rocks, and they sat down facing
