David Knight has been plagued by dreams his entire life, only to have all memory of them vanish when he awakens. Now the dreams are coming with more frequency, and they seem to be drawing him to the Amazon. A scientist with a PhD in ichthyology and a dedication to learning all he can about lungfish, whose existence dates back to the Devonian era, David is determined to see what the Amazon holds. His hopes seem about to be answered when Dr. Carlos Avila contacts him. It seems the Brazilian archeologist discovered the remains of a previously undiscovered species on a tributary of the Amazon, and he’d like nothing better than for David to join the expedition to see if more of the creature can be found. Of course David leaps at the opportunity and flies to Pesadelo Bay to join the mismatched team. Once there, he discovers not only does Dr. Avila have his own agenda, but a former conquest as well as a friend who’d saved his life years before are part of the team and are engaged to be married. Meanwhile, the need to sail up the Amazon to find what ... or who ... is calling him there has become more and more pressing, and David must decide which is the most important -- learning what Dr. Avila really is searching for, or finding the answer to his dreams?

Lagoon of Dreams

My fingers found the aural depressions at the sides of his head, and I explored them carefully, not sure which actions would cause him distress and which would please him.


The frill at his neck turned almost violet, and he uttered a deep-throated hum. This pleased him verymuch.


For long moments he was silent. Then, I thought when you saw I was not Terran, you would hate me for making love to you, for daring to suggest I give you a child.


Nothing could have made me happier than having a child of my body, but I knew that was just the hot sex talking.


He tightened his grip on me. It still surprises me


How easily you accept me for what I am. He rolled onto his back, taking me with him, and I relished the feel of his hard body beneath mine.


Why wouldn’t I? No matter what you look like, you’ll always be my friend. And that’s another thing. Why didn’t you show me what you looked like? I’m not a child
