Jaguar Secrets by Khloe Wren Read Free Book Online Page B

years she’d been ‘missing’, she’d been
safely tucked away in a small farm house in the Northern Territory. She’d been
unable to contact anyone and unable to escape, but Jace doted on her every desire and whim. He gave her so much attention and affection
that eventually, she wore down. They mated late one evening when Tilly was
beyond frustrated with Jace’s teasing. She’d already
realized the attraction between them wasn’t empty lust, and her feelings for
Tim paled in comparison to what she felt for Jace .
He’d explained she needed to come to him, that he wouldn’t have sex with her
until they were mated. Four years of sexual frustration had them both strung out and Tilly gave in and went to him.
    Tilly explained that they were happy now and even
though she was sorry for Tim, she’d never leave Jace or the life they’d built together. She vowed to Cammi that there was no
brainwashing involved. Just a man stuck in caveman mode trying to protect his
mate from the world until she accepted him.
    On the drive out to the reserve from Jace and Tilly’s place the men let her sit in the back seat
alone with her thoughts. She’d thought back to her lonely childhood, bouncing
around the foster care system. The day her ‘mother’ had come for her and her
subsequent escape to Ceduna for a new life. After thinking it all over she’d
come to a conclusion. She was going to accept Luca and Nate. They were good
men, honorable and strong. They’d both protect her and love her. She knew it.
Just like she knew, somehow, she’d already fallen head over heels in love with both
of them.
    Fifteen minutes later, Cammi stood surrounded by the
outback at its finest. She took a deep breath of the fresh country air and even
with her eyes closed she sensed her men coming closer to her.
    “You look like an angel with the sunshine making your
skin glow, sugar.”
    Nate. Warmth spread through her as Nate pressed against her
back and Luca prowled toward her front, pressing her into Nate’s chest. With a
giggle she dashed sideways and ran from them across the rough terrain of the
outback.
    “Oh, now that’s just asking for trouble.”
    Cammi kept running as Luca’s voice reached her. Two
flashes caught her attention moments before two big cats ran past her, brushing
at her legs. A sleek black jaguar with the sun reflecting off
his fur. Luca . The other was golden orange with black spots. Nate.
    Her steps slowed as she watched them dash in and out
of trees and play-fight one another. They were magnificent. Nate took Luca
down, rolling onto his back as he did. A glint of light froze her thoughts. She
made her way closer to look what it could be, but before she reached him, Nate
was back on his feet and off across the plains. Luca trotted over to her and
wound around her legs twice while purring, before he shoved her in the
direction Nate had gone.
    “Oh, why not?”
    She jogged after Nate with Luca trotting alongside
her. Stunned, she stumbled over something on the ground as she rounded a large
clump of trees. Nate lay, ready to pounce, on the edge of a
picnic blanket.
    “You boys really went all out, didn’t you?”
    A flash flared moments before Luca wrapped his arms
around her waist and kissed her cheek.
    “We did have plans. However, they were meant to happen
earlier so the drinks and food probably aren’t cold anymore.”
    They’d brought food? Wow. She’d never had a man put
this much thought into a date before.
    “Never would have pegged you two for the romantic type.”
    Nate lay there swishing his tail as she moved from
Luca’s embrace toward the rug.
    “C’mon Nate. Flash back so we can have something to eat.”
    Luca’s voice brought her attention back to Nate. She
was still his sole focus, and she couldn’t hold back the shiver that ran
through her at being under his intense scrutiny. He rose to his four feet and
took a couple of steps toward her before he flashed to human. Shorts shimmered
onto his body
