Free Phoenix's Heart by Khelsey Jackson Page A

and I will grab some clothes.”
    “Phoenix, I--” he cut her off with his stare.
    “I'm not in the mood to argue with you.” He walked away from her and stopped at the doorway. “I will bring your clothes in here.” He walked out and she eyed her shower. She wished more than ever she had a sexy shower. Like a see through curtain, or all glass, instead of kittens.
    She took off her clothes and put them in the hamper. She turned on the water and was almost done when she heard him enter. “Phoenix?” she asked.
    “What?” His voice sounded softer.
    She moved the shower curtain, so she could see him. He was stared at her. “I am sorry.” She felt her tears that were starting to fill her eyes.
    “Oh darling,” h e said and she closed her eyes and a few tears fell from the corner of her eyes. She wanted him to hold her and make love to her. Jennifer remembered that she could picture him naked, and it would happen; she opened her eyes, he was standing there naked.
    “No bow this ti me?” The corner of his lips lifted a little.
    A couple of mores tears fell, she smiled. “No, I want you.”
    He laughed. “I unleashed a monster.” She fell to her knees. She thought back to what Megan said.
    “Oh m y god, Jennifer!” Phoenix rushed to her and gathered her into his arms. She cried into his chest. “Are you hurt? Please darling, tell me what's wrong.”
    She looked at him. “I don’t know what I am. What if our babies are messed up?”
    “Darling, our babies will be fine.” She stared at his perfect mouth and leaned in to kiss him. As soon at their lips met, he moaned. “We don't have much time; I have a meeting in an hour.”
    She smiled up at him. “Honey that is plenty of time.” He laughed as he carried her out of the bathroom to her bedroom.
    He walked them over to the bed and gently laid her down. “Darling, you are so beautiful, you take my breath away.” She smiled up at him and he covered her lips with his. It didn't take long for his kiss to turn something more. She felt him rubbing himself against her and she groaned.
    “Phoenix.” She arched up to him.
    A loud ringing made him freeze. “Shit.” He looked down at her and smiled . “Darling, we have to finish later.” He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and got up. She sat up in time to watch his bare ass leave her room.
    Jennifer got out of bed; she didn’t want to finish later. She wanted to have Phoenix now! At least he wasn't mad at her anymore. She walked back to the bathroom and grabbed the clothes he brought in for her. She noticed he picked black pants, not a skirt. She giggled, and got dressed.
    Jennifer walked out and into the living room where Phoenix was. She stared at him for a moment, he had his pants on but he was shirtless. He was on his phone and was looking out her window that overlooked downtown.
    “Yeah she's fine; we'll be on our way in five minutes,” Phoenix said and put his phone in his pants pocket. He looked up and caught Jennifer watching him. He smiled. “Darling I’m sorry but Max wants to meet up at the office. He has another appointment so we have to leave now.”
    She felt her heart race. “Does he know what I am?” Jennifer heard her own excitement in her voice.
    “I think so.” He buttoned his shirt. He slipped on his jacket and smiled at her. “Let's go.” He walked to the door and she noticed her pink leopard printed suitcase by the door.
    “Why do you have my bag?” She said and eyed the bag in his hands.
    “I know you said you wanted to wait to move in, but I don’t want you staying here alone.”
    “Phoenix, we don't know each other yet. I don’t even know what I am, yet.” He smiled at her.
    “Darling, either you move in with me or I move in here.” He looked around her apartment like it was diseased.
    “What if I am some mo nster that eats you?” She glared at him and he chuckled.
    “Darling there isn’t a body part I don’t want your pretty mouth on.” He winked at her and
