plant proves that it’s not powerful enough to impact our systems in such a way. Since the humans are not affected by the candy in the way Gracus was, there has to be another ingredient that created the chemical reaction in him.”
Amun sighed and put a hand out to stop Scaden from pacing. “We need to know what this component is so I can find out if it is what did this to him. It will take some time, but he will be fine. Go get some rest and I’ll let you know when he wakes up,” Amun said, hoping to get rid of Scaden so he could get back to work on analyzing Gracus’s blood.
Scaden shook his head. “I’ll stay right here until he wakes again.”
Amun sighed. It was going to be a long few hours.

Hours later, Rebecca was still grinning about the naked guy. She couldn’t help it. He’d been so adorable in his stoned stupor. And those hazel eyes! she thought, glad that no one was around to see the blush on her face as she thought of a completely irresponsible, but sexy stranger.
She had been furious when Tom Moore had demanded her camera with the pictures she’d taken of the guy. He was a full time deputy and volunteer rescue squad member and Rebecca had the bad luck of having him show up to get the guy to a hospital.
He’d told her that he needed the pictures for evidence, in case the District Attorney wanted to set an example and charge the guy with harassing wildlife or something. Rebecca figured Tom wanted to show everyone that the guy really had been… communing so closely with nature.
Rebecca snorted at her own joke. She couldn’t help it. In all her days on the river, she had seen a lot of strange things, but the bear guy was definitely at the top of her list. And how he was still alive after all the candy he’d eaten was a mystery to her.
The only thing she could figure is that he only had a few and the bears had the rest. It’s the only thing that made sense to her. She still couldn’t figure out the logistics of how he’d managed it though. It was one thing to get stoned and naked by yourself and another to party with two wild bears.
He must be the luckiest guy on the planet , she thought with a smile, glad that he was. All of womankind should be grateful that she was able to save such a marvelous specimen of mankind, even if he was a fool , she thought with another grin.
Rebecca looked at the sky and realized she needed to get off the river and set up camp for the night. She paddled to the bank, hopped out of her raft and secured it. She spent the next few minutes gathering her gear and setting up her tent.
Within an hour, she had a crackling fire going and was heating up some dehydrated dinner. She’d peeled off her wet suit and booties, changed into dry clothes and sat poking her fire and trying not to burn her dinner. Throughout it all, the sexy stranger remained in the back of her mind. And so did her smile.
It had taken her twenty minutes to slowly pull the heavy guy out from between the two bears. By the time she’d gotten him behind the tree and to relative safety, the baby bear had awakened, with the mother quickly following.
The guy, laying on the ground behind the tree had reached out a bobbling hand to the bears and tried to speak before Rebecca had to slap another hand over his mouth to keep him from drawing their attention.
The feel of his soft, full lips, moving against her palm had sent a shiver up her spine and she’d felt his smile against her hand. She had leaned down and whispered quietly in his ear, “Shhh,” hoping he wouldn’t alert the bears.
The crazy guy may have been able to hug it out with the bears, but Rebecca wasn’t about to see if they’d be as friendly with her. Besides, she knew that the chances of momma bear feeling that friendly after a pot candy bender, weren’t good.
The fact that she had a fully naked man, his head in her lap while she held her hand over his mouth, was not lost on her. Rebecca couldn’t hide the blush on her face
