“I don’t think of Wilde, Nevada, as having artists that can create

something like this.”

“You’re wrong. My town has more to offer than you can

imagine.” He pointed to the one in the middle, a silver metal cube

about three feet in height, width, and depth. “What do you think of that one? It’s the newest in my collection.”

Its form looked exquisite, perfect even, except for the jagged hole that ran through its metal core. The piece appeared evenly balanced between smooth on the exterior and rough in the interior. Clearly, the creator had shaped it with an intentional dichotomy in mind.
Amazing.

“So who is the artist? Do they have a gallery here? I want to meet

them.”

He shrugged. “You’re looking at him.”

Her jaw dropped. “You?”

“Afraid so. Kind of a hobby of mine.”

“Some hobby. It’s beautiful. They all are. Does this one have a

title?” Artistic talent had always been a turn-on to her. With it

embodied in such a hunky cowboy,
oh, my God!

“Flawed Box.”

“I love it. You’re so talented.” Her heartbeats sped up and her

temperature rose. “I know some art gallery owners in Manhattan that would die to see your work. Do you have more? If you’ll let me, I’ll call—”

Phoenix grabbed her, planted his mouth on hers. His lips felt both

tender and demanding. Her toes curled, and her nerve endings fired.

Sure, the man could sculpt, but compared to his kiss, the pieces might as well have been uncooked macaroni glued to paper. His kiss was

devastating. When his tongue shot into her mouth, heat welled up in her. Her body melted into his. The kiss went on and on, and cravings swept through her.

After what seemed an eternity, he finally freed her lips. “You’ve

made my day, angel.”

Logic clawed its way to the surface of her mind. She put her

hands against his chest and tried to push him away, but he held her firm. “I can’t do this.”

He looked stunned. “Why?”

“There’s lots of reasons. One, your brother. Two, there’s an

obvious conflict with me and your family’s busin—”

Phoenix swallowed her protests with his mouth. His kiss sent

shivers throughout her body, making her dizzy and weak. He cupped

the back of her head with his large hand, tightening his hold, pulling her in closer to his chest. Much more than a kiss, this was another of his masterpieces. His tongue shot into her mouth. Her head and body seemed to spin together, whirling with want. Wicked thoughts of him naked on top of her had her nipples peaking in her bra. She felt the little nubbins brushing against her shirt, curling against his chest. Her nipples were so hard, and they had a direct line to her clit. It pulsed in her jeans, begging to be touched.

“No more talking, angel. The outside world doesn’t exist here.”

He whispered wickedly, cupping her ass, causing fire to race through her. “There is no investigation. There is no mine. This is our island.

You and me.”

“Phoenix, this doesn’t make any sense.” She was nuts to give in to

him, but wasn’t that exactly what she desired? To surrender to him?

He kissed her again then lifted her up in his arms as if she were

air. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Being held by him felt good and desirable—even

transcendent.

“Jessie, it’s time for you to experience much more. You deserve

that. I want to make you feel like you’ve never felt before.”

She gulped. Even with the overwhelming need he’d awakened in

her, a little of corner of her mind wouldn’t surrender. “I know you think you do, but—”

He swept his lips over her neck, making her light-headed. “Angel,

stop fighting what you want. You’re too smart to refuse me. Trust me that I’m going to have you.”

As the last bit of resistance disappeared in her, she melted into his arms.

Chapter Three

Phoenix was delighted how Jessie responded to his house and

sculptures, but what thrilled him more was how her body responded

to his touches. She felt good in his arms.

His cock throbbed against his Levi’s buttoned-fly as lust rolled

into him for this amazing woman. Seeing her face flare red and her

body respond to his touch drove him crazy with hunger. She was

more woman than any he’d ever known. Smart, determined, and so

damn unbelievably sexy. He was nuts for her. A hot brew of thoughts and emotions whirled inside him, but the most steamrolling urge he

felt was to possess her.

He gazed into her green eyes, and she blinked, unable to hide her

own want from him. He devoured her sweet, soft mouth once again.

Kissing Jessie gave him more pleasure than he could’ve ever

imagined. He swept his tongue over her lips and enjoyed the taste of her.

She flushed then blinked. “What about your brother?”

“What do you mean?” Phoenix licked her neck. She shivered, and

he saw the gooseflesh that let him know he was getting to her. He

decided to tease her a bit. “You two are an item?”

“N-No. But—”

“Shh. You don’t have to lie to me. He already told me about your

secret romance. Not a word from me, but you two aren’t exclusive.

That’s not Jackson’s way.”
Or mine.

“That’s odd to me. Do you Wilde brothers share women often? Is

that the only way you can get off?”

“Jessie, it’s not what you think.”

“Enlighten me.”

God, he wanted to tell her everything, but it was way too soon. A

partial truth would have to suffice. “Honestly, we’re both into you.

I’ve never felt like this with any other woman in my life, and I, for one, want to see where this takes us.” He walked toward the sofa with her in his arms. “Don’t you?”

“Phoenix, shouldn’t we be heading to the mine?” Her breathy tone

was so sexy. She would be his, only his, for tonight.

“We’ve got plenty of time, Jessie.”

She nibbled on her bottom lip. “But what if it ends in disaster?”

“It won’t, sweetheart,” he told her, pulling her in close.

He nibbled on her earlobe. She was perfect. He placed her on the

sofa in a sitting position and moved his hands down to the curve of her waist.

“Are we really doing this?” Her body was on fire, and his desire

was blistering hot.

“Yes, angel.” He used his fingers to undress her bit by bit. In no

time, he had her shirt off, her shoes, and then her jeans. Her

passionate trembling thrilled him. Her bra and panties were pale pink and made her skin look even more delicious. Her breasts were full,

and her taut nipples were evident under the fabric.

“But I’m seeing your brother.”

“We’ve covered that. Yes, you are seeing him. But we’ve shared

you. Remember, he willingly shared you with me.”

“You’ve both ruined me for other men.”

“That’s the plan. I saw how much you enjoyed being with Jackson

and me. You’ll have that again, I promise. Now, I want to have you to myself. I want more. I can tell that you do, too.”

“Yes, but—”

He placed his finger to her lips. So soft and moist, he couldn’t

resist another kiss. He pressed his mouth to hers. Her body melted

into his. God, she was so perfect. So amazing. A few nights of kissing her wouldn’t be enough for him. He’d want more. Much more.

When she was panting into his mouth, once again he lifted her up

in his arms. “I’m going to have you begging me to fuck you, angel. I want to take my time. I’ve got a lot to teach you about making love, enjoying pleasure, losing yourself to rapture.”

“You think I need to learn more about sex from you?” Jessie

stiffened. She looked so adorable to him.

Was she wondering if he was turned off by her inexperience?

God, no.
The truth was her innocent shivers and sweet vulnerability fueled his hunger.

“You bet, angel.” He placed her on the bed in a sitting position.

He knelt down on the floor in front of her.
God, she’s gorgeous.

“My fingers will get you warmed up first.” In full tilt, he removed her bra then cupped her breasts. “Everything about you is so perfect.”

“No one’s ever told me that before,” she whispered.

“Then you haven’t been running with the right people.” Phoenix

gently massaged her chest’s soft flesh. “Women would die to have a

fraction of what you have. You need to find a better group of people to hang with.”

“Maybe I do.” She tilted her head like a sweet kitten, causing his

balls to load up.

“You’re fucking wildfire, angel.” He leaned down and laved her

nipples.

A soft moan that left her lips loaded up his balls to the max. He

covered her soft mound with his left hand. With his right hand, he

pinched her left nipple, rolling a little bit of flesh between his thumb and forefinger. Jessie grabbed the sheets, and she trembled. He

continued to suckle her breast while his fingers felt the moisture

oozing from her tight cunt. This was heaven. He wanted to pleasure

her to the edge and beyond. To give her an experience that would

blow her mind. No one else mattered. Not his family. Not his

brothers. All that he cared for in this moment was to please Jessie.

Working his way down, he licked between her breasts, down her

stomach, and sent his tongue into her belly button. His thumb touched

her clit and pressed. The little ecstasy yelp that left her lips sent heat blasting through his insides.

Phoenix leaned back and looked into Jessie’s eyes that were filled

with passionate tears. “I’m going to taste your sweet pussy cream,

angel. I’m going to lick you into a frenzy that’s going to drive you mad with desire.”

Her eyes fluttered closed. “Oh, God!”

Placing his hands on her hips, he began lapping up her juices. He

loved laving her folds, circling her clit, and tasting her sweetness. The whimpers that escaped her mouth multiplied his craving to possess

her, to dominate her, and to take her. She was his. He placed her clit between his lips and pressed. She pounded on the bed with her fists, and her pussy delivered up even more precious moisture. Her hands

came down on his shoulders, and she clawed his skin. The tiger inside her was no longer chained. Still, he continued torturing her with his mouth, lapping up her hot liquid.

“Please, Phoenix. I need to come.” She sounded ready to explode.

“I told you I could teach you about sex. Believe me, you’re going

to be begging me to let you come.” He wanted to push her to the limit.

She was so new, so fresh. He wanted her to experience a pleasure that she would never forget. A pleasure that he would give her. Then she would never forget him. He wanted to mark her mind with his brand.

“Please. God, I can’t stand much more.” Her desire was explosive.

She was so close.

His hands went up to her nipples, and he pinched the pointy flesh

until she gasped. “Yes, you can, angel.”

“Mmm.” She was aflame, thrilling him beyond belief.

Phoenix pressed a finger inside her channel. “Soon, you’ll get to

ride my dick. That’s what you want, angel?”

“Yes. God, yes!” Her squirming and closed eyes let him know that

her insides were electric and out of control.

Perfect.
Phoenix fingered Jessie’s soaked pussy, enjoying the feel of her current of desire. His dick lengthened to the impossible. With

his other hand, he unbuttoned his shirt and grabbed her delicate hand and placed it on his chest. “You like touching me, Jessie?”

She squirmed and opened her eyes. She didn’t seem able to speak,

but she did nod her head
yes
.

“You’re really close, aren’t you?”

“Uh-huh.” Tears rolled down her cheeks.

“I want you to hold back your orgasm until I give you the signal.

Understand?”

“I—I don’t know if I can do that, Phoenix.”

“Yes, you can. Trust me. If you wait, the pleasure will be so

intense you won’t believe it.” He placed his hands over hers. “When I squeeze your hands, that’s when you can come.”

Jessie shivered as he kissed her thighs gently. Then he dined on

her sweet cream. He circled her clit with his tongue and began

spreading her pussy’s lips with his hand.

“You are so wonderfully wet, angel.” He guided his hands

between her legs and under her until he touched her ass ring with the tips of his fingers. He could feel her trembling from his touches and licks. “Come for me. Come for me, now.”

Jessie sobbed as she gave in to her climax. Her entire body shook

violently. “Oh, God!”

“That’s it, angel. Ride that orgasm all the way.” Phoenix pressed

her clit.

Jessie pounded the mattress. Her eyes closed, and tiny wails

slipped past her lips. He got on the sofa next to her and pulled her in close, enjoying her trembles.

When her orgasm began to subside, he kissed her stomach. “That

was just a preliminary round, Jessie. Just a small sampling of what I will do for you.” He stood up and looked down at her. Her lips curled up into the sweetest smile. He swore there was nothing more beautiful in the world.

“But I really—”

He placed his finger on her lush lips. “Shh.” For the first time in
34

Chloe Lang

his life, Phoenix really believed he could walk away from his share of the family’s mine for the love of one woman.
Jessie.
Hopefully it wouldn’t come to that. Still, he wanted her for his own, but first, he had to win her. “We’ve got plenty of time to enjoy each other.”
