Phoenix's Heart (7 page)

She wrapped
her arms around his back. “No, please stay.” She wanted to hold him, and stay like this a little longer. He kissed her neck, and she moaned. She felt him grow hard inside of her again. “Again?”

He chuckled and moved himself so he was
looking at her. “Darling, I am an incubus I can keep going forever.” He kissed her nose, and she grinned. “But I don't want to overdo you. You are pregnant with my babies.” He brought his lips to hers and kissed her gently. He rolled his hips and she moaned into his mouth. He laughed against her lips. “Darling, I will be right back.”

He pulled
himself out of her gently and she moaned again. Even though she had only had sex with Phoenix, he was the sex god Megan claimed he was. Her best friend was going to flip when she told her what was going on. Not with just the twins, but about Phoenix. Jennifer was still in shock about him. It wasn’t every day you found out that your lover was an incubus, and now you were pregnant with a succubus and an incubus. Now the scary part, she needed to tell her mom. Jennifer knew that her mom would take it hard, she wanted Jennifer married before she had kids. She didn’t want to think about what her dad would say.

She
smiled to herself. “I love knowing that I put that beautiful smile on your face.” Her smile grew wider. He took a warm washcloth and gently cleaned her. She was still so sensitive from him and she moaned. “About dinner.” She looked at him and laughed.

“Sure, but I
still want pizza.”

“I could get you anything in the world an
d you want pizza.” Phoenix turned his back to her and she got a perfect view of his ass. His body was perfect from his head to his toes.

“Thank you, but pizza is
fine.” Her phone was ringing and it was her mother's ringtone. She knew that Jennifer was starting her new job, and wanted to talk. “Crap.” She jumped up, and was lightheaded.

Phoenix was
there, steadying her. “Don't get up too fast.” She was enthralled by his midnight blue eyes.

Sh
e shook her head. “Where is my purse?” He smiled, and moved away from her but kept his hands on her shoulders.

“By the door, sit down and I will g
et it for you.” He softly pushed her back on the bed. She looked down at herself and remembers she was completely naked. She felt like she needed to cover up, but she didn't know where her clothes were. She looked around and saw her bra and shirt across the room. Her skirt was by the door, and she didn’t see her panties.

Phoenix handed
Jennifer her purse. “Thanks.” She smiled up at him. She grabbed her phone and saw her mother's missed call.

She pressed
the call button and it only rang once. “Jenny, when were you going to tell me?”

Her heart nearly stopped. “What?”
There was only thing she thought of.

“You're pregn
ant!” Her best friend and traitor must have told her.

“Mom, I was going to tell you. But--”

“I should have known right after you took the test.” Jennifer glanced up and Phoenix was gathering her clothes.

“I'm sorry, but I can tell you so
mething no one else knows. Well, besides Phoenix.”

“Phoenix? His name sounds like a porn
star's.” Jennifer’s mouth dropped open.

“Mom!”

“Sorry, but it's true. So tell me this news.” Jennifer sighed, and Phoenix bent down. He placed one hand on her bare knee for support.

“I'm having tw
ins, a boy and a girl.” There was a loud crashing sound. “Mom?”

“Sorry
, I dropped the phone. I need to see you and this porn star…Phoenix.” Jennifer looked up at him and he was staring at her.

“I don't think--”

“Jennifer Elizabeth Cruz, I do not care what you think. I want you and Phoenix to meet me at your apartment. Do you understand me?”

“Yes
…I understand.” Jennifer looked down at her naked body and blushed.

“Now get dress
ed, and I will see you soon.”

“What?” Jennifer felt
her heart race.

“Sweetie, you have sex in your voice. Good bye
, Jenny,” she said sweetly.

“Bye
, mom.” She stared at her phone. “My mom wants to meet us at my place.” She grabbed her bra.

Phoenix gave
her his heart-stopping smile and stood up. “I am great with women, but not so much with mothers.” She remembered what he told her about his own mother.

She grabbed
her shirt and skirt and put them on. “You don't have to meet my mom if you don't want too.” He ran his fingers through his hair.

“
You’re close with her, so I need to meet her.” Jennifer stood up, and walked over to him.

“She is going to ask
if we are together.” He ran his thumb over her bottom lip, but didn't smile.

“Darling I will try for you and our
babies.” His other hand touched her stomach and she put her hand on top of his.

“Then let
’s go.” She smiled as he kissed her nose.

Chapter Five

Jennifer and Phoenix pulled into her apartment complex twenty minutes later, she was so nervous. The only mother she had really ever known was about to go off on her and Phoenix. Jennifer had already decided not to tell her mom about him, she knew she would freak out more.

Phoenix parked and turned
off the car. “Darling I can taste your fear. It can't be that bad, your mother loves you.” She knew that, she wasn't nervous about that. She was worried about what her mother was going to say to Phoenix.

“Just don’t take anything personal
ly. She is going to be mad and blame you mostly.” Phoenix reached and took her hand. She lifted her eyes to look at him. His stunning midnight blue eyes were smiling at her.

“Darling, I can take whatever she wants to blame on
me. I am the incubus.” He lifted her hand to his lips and laid a warm kiss on her knuckles that made her stomach flutter.

Jennifer felt
her heart opening for him and wanted to kick herself. She took her hand back and he studied her. “Let's go inside before she comes out here.” She opened her own door before he could even get out. She started walking and he draped his arm around her shoulders.

“You know
, I can kind of feel what you're feeling. And I don't quite understand it. Being an incubus I can tell emotions, and yours are confusing me. You're mad, and not. But there is something else, and I have never felt it before.” He stopped her and she felt her heart racing. She found it hard to believe no one has ever loved him before. “Please tell me.” He stopped her and looked into her eyes.

She shook
her head. “Not now, we'll talk later.” He framed her face in his large hands.

“Fine, right now we will
talk to your mother.” She smiled, and he returned it.

They start
ed walking and he put his arm around her shoulders again. Jennifer looked up and saw two women walking towards them. Their eyes were on Phoenix and she looked at him. He smiled and nodded at them. They giggled, and Jennifer smiled. That was affect he has on women. The two women stopped and watched Phoenix and Jennifer walk by. She knew with his amazing good looks and the power rolling off him; he could get any woman he wanted, and he was going to try to be with her.

“Lu
cky bitch,” one of the girls said as they past, and Jennifer had to bite her bottom lip to keep her smile away.

Phoenix and Jennifer
walked up to her door, and she put her key in. When she opened the door she saw her mother and Megan sitting on the couch. Jennifer glared at her best friend and mouthed “traitor”. Megan looked at Jennifer's mother and made a face.

J
ennifer turned her head to the side to see Phoenix and he was looking at her. He smiled, and she wanted to leap into his arms. “Phoenix this is my mom, Cameo. Mom this is Phoenix.” Before Phoenix moved away from her, he kissed the top of her head. She looked at Megan and her eyes were wide.

He walked over to her mother and took
her hand. “It's nice to meet you, Cameo.” He gently kissed her hand, and she arched her dark eyebrows at Phoenix. Jennifer held her breath.

“It's really nice to meet you.” She
smiled at Jennifer. “You know how to pick them, sweetie.” Jennifer felt her cheeks heat up.

“Okay
, I need to go throw up now.” Megan stood up. “I will be in my room with my headphones on.” She walked to her bedroom, and shut the door. Phoenix walked back to Jennifer and winked.

“Okay
, we need to talk. Come and sit.” She walked over to the large sectional and sat down. Phoenix put his around her and pulled her close. “So, what are you two going to do?”

Jennifer opened
her mouth to tell her, but Phoenix's hand squeezed her shoulder. “I will do everything in my power for Jennifer and our babies.” She turned her head and looked up at him. He smiled down at her.

“Well, I thought you were going to be a jerk about this. Megan showed me who you were before you got her. I believe you are the third
richest man in America and known to be a womanizer.” Jennifer looked down, she knew he had other girls, but he hadn’t dated anyone.

“I know who I was, but that was before Jennifer. I would never do anything to hurt her, or our babies.”

“That is what I want to hear, but Jenny you know I am here for you. No matter what.” Jennifer looked at her mom and smiled.

“I know, M
om.”

“Are you going to ma
rry her?” Jennifer's mouth dropped open and Phoenix squeezed her shoulder again.

“Cameo, we haven't known each other that long. I’m not saying it won't happen in
time, but not now.” Jennifer knew not to get her hopes up. The last guy that said he wanted to marry her cheated on her.

“Good, I don't believe you two should get married because she is pregnant. Now, her father will demand it.”
She stood up and smiled at them. “I do love seeing you this happy. I love you Jennifer, even if I am way too young to be a grandma!” Jennifer stood up to hug the woman she called her mother.

“I love you too
Mom, and you are too young to be called Grandma.” She laughed and wrapped her arms around Jennifer.

She moved
away from Jennifer. “It was nice to meet you, Phoenix, and make sure she is taken care of. Or I will be coming after you.” Her mother looked at Phoenix and smiled.

Jennifer turned
to look at him, and he was grinning back at her mother. He walked over to her, and wrapped his arms around her. “I will take care of her, as much as she will allow me to.”

“Good, then I leave her in your hand
s. Good bye Phoenix.” She kissed his cheek and walked out of the apartment.

Jennifer sat
back down on the couch and Phoenix sat next to her. “I actually liked her. She was funny. And she loves you so much.” He took her hand, and she smiles; he gently kissed her knuckles.

“She seems to like
you, but I don't know any woman that doesn't.” She squeezed his hand.

“I can think of someone, Megan doesn't.” Phoenix
smiled.

“Megan is picky, bu
t she'll come around.” She leaned her head on his shoulder and he kissed the top of her head. Jennifer stared at the door when she heard knocking.

“That will be the pizza,
” Phoenix said, and she lifted her head to look at him. He smiled down at her as he stood up. “You said you wanted a pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni.” He walked down and she saw a man wearing a black suit. She had seen him before; she thought he was the driver on that first night. “Thanks Mark, you can have the rest of the night off.”

“Thank you sir.” He handed
the pizza box to Phoenix, and nodded at her. Phoenix shut the door; he walked over to her and sat the pizza on the coffee table in front of her.

He opened the pizza box and scrunched
his face at it. “You really want to eat that?” He said and looked at her. She grinned and reached for a slice.

She took the first bite and moaned. It was
what she wanted and needed. “Oh, it is so good.”

He made
a weird face and sat next to her again. “I've never liked pizza. It reminds me of cardboard with sauce and toppings.”

She eyed
him over her pizza. “I have a question. Do you age like me or like vampires?”

Jennifer watched
his smile fill his beautiful face, and then he started laughing. “Vampires aren't real, but there are some demons that feed on human blood. Incubi and succubae age slower than humans. We age to twenty-five, and stay that way for one hundred fifty years. Then we age one month for every year after that.”
