Free Wilde Fire by Chloe Lang Page A

tenderly.
    “I’m not sure about this, Phoenix.” As much as she wanted him
    right now, confusion took hold of her. She’d started down a slippery slope her first night in Wilde. Was it too late to hit the brakes?
    “But I am sure about how I feel about you, Jessie.” He leaned
    down and began nibbling on her neck.
    With his free hand, he massaged her chest, causing her nipples to
    peak more. “What if someone comes upon us?”
    “Who in the hell would that be? And if they did, they would see
    one gorgeous woman and one very lucky man. No loss, no foul.”
    Jessie looked deep into Phoenix’s eyes. There was no refusing the
    passion in them. But she had to try. “I feel odd about this.”
    “Why?” He lifted an eyebrow.
    “What would Jackson think?”
    “You’ve got to let that go. Did he sound jealous on the phone?”
    “No.”
    His lips turned up into a wicked grin. “Angel, he would be thrilled that I was giving you pleasure. You have to believe that. You don’t think it’s an exclusive arrangement between you and him?”
    “Not really.” The only promise Jackson had made to her was to
    keep their relationship secret. But would he really understand her
    giving in to Phoenix’s advances? Probably. Phoenix knew him better
    than she did. “But they way you guys share women... it’s so unusual.
    Am I just the latest flavor of the month?”
    “Hardly. When I look in your eyes I see my destiny, my forever.”
    She gulped. “Should I trust a cowboy-artist who sounds a lot like
    a poet, too? I’m probably being played, but I’m too inexperienced to Wilde Fire

    know.”
    “I’m not playing you. I swear. Don’t worry, angel. I’ll make sure
    to keep my hands on the wheel. You just enjoy the ride.”
    Anticipating what he was about to do to her, a shiver ran up her
    spine. He pressed his index finger to her lips and then trailed down her chin, down her throat between her breasts, down her stomach,
    circling her belly button, and down until it hit her clit. Her pussy clenched. Being exposed outdoors and being touched by him
    evaporated every care or concern. All she wanted was for him to
    never stop.
    “Listen to me, Jessie. I’m gonna make you want this more than
    you can imagine. I will take my time. Anticipation enhances the
    pleasure.” With every syllable, his fingers pressed on different parts of her body—her clit, her folds, her nipples, the soft tissue under her arms. The feel of his muscular body against hers brought on a flood of emotions. She licked her lips, feeling a hunger to be possessed by
    him. Fire rolled through her, searing all doubt and resistance.
    Phoenix’s breath warmed her neck. Her body vibrated hot, unable
    to be still. He stood up and stripped off his clothes, exposing every inch of his sexy, muscled body for her eyes to enjoy. Looking up at him, he looked like a conqueror from antiquity ready to take his
    spoils. In a flash, he was back next to her, placing his hands on her waist. He gently urged her on her side to face him. His hazel eyes
    burned with lust.
    A bit of nervousness took hold of her, so she placed her hands
    against his chest, hoping to slow things down and get a bit of clarity.
    “I’m here for you, angel.” He smiled, causing her to tremble.
    “You look good in this light.”
    The sun was dipping down below the horizon. His skin looked
    like bronze. She wanted to taste his beautiful lips again. “So do you.”
    He moved his hand to her thigh and began caressing her skin. She
    watched his other hand pull out a little foil package from the front pocket of his discarded jeans. He ripped it open and released the

    contraceptive it held. He then rolled the condom down his erect dick.
    Her heart hammered in her chest, and her nerve endings fired like
    machine guns.

    Phoenix cupped Jessie’s chin, pulled her close, and pressed his
    lips against hers. Need flooded into him as her fingernails scratched
