Liam raised his eyebrow while I took a bite out of my burger; I was hungry as hell having missed food at the garden party, then working up steam with Thalia in the shower. We’d come straight down here to Kix after we’d dressed to help the guys set up for our gig in about an hour’s time.
“Where is Thalia?” Liam asked looking around.
“She’s walked into town with Reece to meet up with her friend, Callie.” I chuckled. “It’s the first time in history I’ve seen Reece falling over his tongue after a girl, especially as Thalia told me she wanted her to meet Donovan.”
“Dahlia won’t be happy,” Mia added.
“I’m not too sure what we think they’ve been up to is actually what they’ve been doing.” I shrugged my shoulders turning back to my food while I wondered if what I’d said was the truth. Reece seemed to treat Dahlia more like a sister, than someone to get his rocks off with. These past couple of gigs we’d done; I’d watched, and they didn’t act as though they’d been intimate. Something was going on between them, that I didn’t think they wanted made public, and I’d bet my last dollar it was something to do with Dahlia; maybe her old man.
Pushing my plate away, I finished up my beer and turned back to my brother, who appeared to have his tongue stuck down Mia’s throat. I grinned and was about to make a comment, which I knew would get his back-up, when the door opened and in walked my babe.
As she came dashing towards me, I whistled. She noticed Liam and Mia who still hadn’t come up for air, then launched herself at me. She wrapped her arms around my neck while my arms went to her hips, pulling her in close between my thighs.
“Well it looks like the cocks finally have the right pussys,” Reece announced, shocking everyone into silence, until I roared with laughter. Thalia buried her face into my chest, chuckling against me. With a quick glance at Liam, I noticed Mia’s bright red cheeks.
“Are you always so embarrassing?” Callie asked him, walking over and taking a seat at a table close to the bar.
“What’s embarrassing about cocks and pussys?” Reece replied, sliding in beside Callie, a look of innocence on his face.
“You’re kidding me right?” Callie complained.
“Hey, babe. What you see is what you get.” Reece grinned.
“Ugh. I think I need a drink,” Callie announced.
My attention went back to the woman standing between my legs, moving her hands up and down my thighs, while she snuggled into my neck, licking and nibbling back and forth. Fuck she had me hard as hell, with nothing to do about it.
I reached around her with one arm and stroked up and down her back in a soft caress; my other hand caressed up and down her arm. “You need to stop baby,” I whispered into her ear, feeling her shudder against me.
“Okay,” she breathed against my neck, but instead of moving away from me she stayed wrapped around me as though she was frightened to move.
“Jack, we need to go and see the parents, and tell them what’s going on.”
Before looking at my brother, I gave Thalia a kiss on her forehead. “We’ll go tomorrow. This place is going to start filling up real soon, and God knows what’s going to happen when we make the announcement. So I think in the morning, about eleven would be better, before they leave for lunch at Mia’s house.”
“Oh, crap. I’d forgotten all about lunch… I can’t be there,” Mia said panicking.
“Ah, wouldn’t it be better telling the folks together,” Reece suggested.
“No. We’ll tell our folks and, hopefully get them to calm down, and then we’ll all go over to Mia’s house.”
Thalia gave me an odd look. “I think I have to agree with Reece. Won’t it be easier telling both sets of parents together, it will get it out of the way quickly instead of prolonging it?”
“It will be easier if Jack and me tell our folks first, and try to get them on our side, because Lewis is probably going to be a problem. He’s adamant that Mia marries you, Jack, and we don’t know why.”
Mia looked to have tears in her eyes when Liam turned back to her. “Honey, I promise you. We won’t let him send your mother away. In fact, I’m not even sure he can.” Liam took Mia back into his arms.
“What the fuck.” I stood up, unsure I’d heard right. “What about her mother?” Thalia took hold of my arm as we waited for someone to tell us what the fuck was going on, because Mia’s mother hadn’t been mentioned before. Not once during this whole wedding mess.
“Lewis told Mia that he’d send her mother away if she backed out of the wedding.” He sighed and ran his hands over Mia’s face. “Her mother has a huge problem with depression, and Lewis wants to get her admitted to a hospital for a while, even though the doctors have told him there’s no need. He told Mia last night that if she didn’t make sure the wedding went ahead that he’d sign the papers for her mother.”
“Has he lost his mind?” That was crazy. “Mia, we won’t let that happen, which is all the more reason we tell our parents first, that way once they’re on our side, they can, hopefully talk your dad out of being…stupid. Why’s he acting like this? He’s never been like this before. Has he?” I looked at Mia.
“No. He’s changed, and I don’t know why,” she replied with tears on her face.
Liam wrapped his arms around her and started to kiss her tears away.
Thalia, snuggled closer to me, and just held on.
“Are you all done with this mushy shit? There’s work to be done,” Ryder announced.
I scowled at him, which of course he ignored.
“Phoenix, you go and do what you have to. It will give Callie and me time to catch up before you put your hands on me again.” She offered me a wicked grin, and then placed a hot kiss to my lips before walking over to Callie and planting her ass on the chair across from her, which Reece had just vacated.
“Stop licking your lips and get your shit together before Ryder really does start getting pissed,” Reece said, grinning like an idiot in front of me.
“So, what’s with you and Callie?”
“I’m so not going there… I’m going to head down to the cellar to see if anything needs doing before Ryder shouts for help when I’m fixing the drums – like he usually does. If I didn’t know any better I’d say he fucking did it deliberately,” Reece grumbled walking behind the bar, but not before I caught him giving Callie another lingering look.
“I’m going to take Mia by the lake for a short while so we’ll see you guys later,” Liam said.
“Okay, don’t miss the show.”
“No chance of that, Phoenix,” Mia replied.
I glanced at Thalia, who’d heard Mia call me Phoenix. She didn’t look impressed at all.
Mia had noticed the look on Thalia’s face as well, “Oh, don’t be worrying. I know all about Phoenix and that you’re the only one allowed to use it. I just wanted to tease him. On that note I think we’ll go make-out.” She grinned, took hold of Liam’s hand and dragged him out of the bar.
Chapter Fifty-Four
Thalia
“What the hell is going on between you and Reece? And don’t tell me nothing. You looked all…ah… flustered when you saw me with him,” I asked Callie, the minute we were alone. I grinned at her, “And you do now.”
“He’s, um, nice.”
I raised an eyebrow. She called Reece, nice? It certainly wasn’t a word I would have used to describe him. “Nice?”
She had started to blush much to my amusement. “Spill. Now. I want to know what happened between the two of you after Phoenix took me back to his place.” I leaned across the table real eager to hear what she had to say, because I was really not expecting her to take up with Reece. Donovan had been the one to catch my eye for Callie.
While I was sitting in my seat I could see the wheels turning in her head as she tried to decide what to tell me. I knew her better than she would prefer.
“I’m still waiting.”
“Ugh. You’re impossible.” She huffed, glared at
me while I started to take a drink, and then grinned. “He’s pierced and has a lot of tattoos, and who said it was just Reece?”
I started to choke.
“Babe, what the hell,” Phoenix appeared and started to pat me on the back, actually it was more like hitting me on the back.
“Stop.”
Taking a deep breath, I glared at my best friend who was still sitting in her chair, laughing. Although she did look embarrassed.
I turned to Phoenix who was hovering at the side of me. “Is Reece pierced?” I knew it wasn’t his nipple because he’d gone without his t-shirt a few times.
His eyes opened wide. He turned and gave Callie a quick glance then looked back at me. “Maybe.”
Smiling, I walked straight into his space, took hold of his face and kissed him real slow. When his hand landed on my butt to pull me in closer, I moved down to his ear and nibbled, then whispered, “Where is he pierced?”
“You’re playing dirty,” he groaned when my hand landed on his pierced nipple.
“Same place as me,” he whispered.
“You mean,” I held my index finger up and wiggled it, “on the end?”
He quickly covered my hand and laughed, but looked embarrassed. “Yeah. Fuck, Thalia.”
Phoenix turned and walked back to the stage, but kept glancing at me over his shoulder.
Laughing, I plopped down back in my seat and grinned at Callie. “So, you, Reece, and Donovan, huh? I actually thought you’d go for just Donovan. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like Reece; tattoos, bad mouth, pierced wood and all, but I thought Donovan might have been more to your liking, at least based on your usual standards. So you did the dirty with them. Tell me, was it hot with two guys at once?”
She had a dreamy look on her face. “What do you think?”
“I think you better get talking before I pour your drink all over you.”
“They have talented mouths.”
“And?”
“Your turn,” she said grinning.
“Ugh, I hate it when you do this…Okay. Ah, Phoenix has a pierced nipple, which makes me so damn hot.”
“Reece gave me two orgasms with his mouth, and so did Donovan. Now, I want something hotter than a pierced nipple from you,” she told me pointing her finger at me.
My cheeks started to feel warm with the blush working it’s way up my face, but I braved her glare. “We did a sixty-nine, and all I can say is wow. Phoenix knows how to use his mouth, and I love touching his junk, but you know, all he has to do is look at me and my panties are wet. In fact, I think we need to change the subject.” As soon as those words left my mouth, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I froze; praying who ever stood behind me hadn’t heard what I’d just said. Could I get more embarrassed?
“Thalia.”
Shit, Phoenix.
He crouched down beside me as I turned my head to look at him. His eyes were alight, obviously trying not to laugh.
“Oh my God, you heard?”
Without saying anything he stood up and taking my hand dragged me out of the chair before turning to Callie, “She’ll be back soon. I just need to check something.”
Before I knew what was happening, he had me in the storeroom I was already acquainted with, pushed up against the wall, my jeans unzipped and his hand inside, slipping between my folds. I groaned into his mouth as it descended on mine.
“So fucking wet.”
Groaning, I pulled his mouth back down to mine while he continued scissoring his fingers in and out of my sex.
He broke away from me, growled as he lifted me up and placed me on the table in the room. “Lift up.”
I did and he yanked my jeans down my legs, removing my cowgirl boots as well.
Being bare ass naked with Phoenix standing between my open thighs, looking straight between my legs while he breathed heavily was such a turn-on.
“I know how to use my mouth, right Thalia?”
“Oh God.”
He dropped to his knees and didn’t give me time to get used to him; his tongue and mouth assaulted me with a thunderbolt of pleasure. I thought I was going to shake apart.
“So fucking responsive. Have you got any idea what it did to me to hear you telling Callie about me?” He stood up and looked down at me. “I’ll show you.”
He winced as he unzipped his jeans, shoving them down his hips, letting his hugely swollen cock spring free; he made me squirm.
For the first time in front of anyone, I brought my feet up on the desk, and then spreading my legs, ran a finger over my pussy lips and dipped it into my sex; in and out, slowly, moaning as I arched up from the table.
“Holy fuck,” Phoenix choked out. “That’s fucking hot. I can see how wet your cunt is.” He groaned.
He gripped his cock in his hand and moved it back and forth a couple of times while I watched the tip leak. With his eyes still focused on the action between my legs. “Come closer. I want to touch you.”
He shook his head. “You touch me, I won’t last.”
My mouth had gone dry while I continued to watch him move his hand up and down the length of him. I stuck my tongue out and licked my lips. “It’s so hot watching you fist your cock.” I removed my hand from between my legs.
As I moved into a more upright position, Phoenix grabbed my wrist and licked my fingers.
“You taste delicious,” he said between sucks.
He released my hand, so I reached out, rubbing my finger along the slit where he still leaked. “I want to watch you come.”
“Fuck, yeah.”
I quickly scrambled to get on my knees and licked his balls, sucking them into my mouth for a tongue massage. Phoenix sped up the movements with his hand, getting closer to release as his breathing picked up. I was turned on to high heaven watching him, knowing he was jerking off looking at me, because his eyes hadn’t moved from my body.
“Get back on the table.”
“What?”
“Thalia, please. If I’m going to come, so are you.”
Sitting on the table, Phoenix gently pushed me back and stood between my legs. After he took a deep breath, he started rubbing my mound, slipping his finger into my sex before playing with my clit.
Unable to keep my groan in any longer, I let it out, nearly screaming when Phoenix started fucking me with three fingers. I watched him through hooded eyes, fisting his cock.
“Thalia, I’m going to come,” he groaned.
“Me too.” I slammed my head back on the table as I started coming apart on his fingers, biting my lip to stop myself from shouting out loud. My orgasm wasn’t stopping as Phoenix continued to massage the walls of my sex.
“Fuck.”
That was the only warning I had, when I felt warm bursts of cum, splash against my pussy, over and over again while Phoenix groaned. God, that was fucking hot.
“Thalia…I don’t…Hell.”
Phoenix could hardly stand up as he leaned over me, rubbing his cock in the mess he made between my legs, while he took my lips in one of the softest kisses I’d ever experienced, bringing tears to my eyes.
“I love you…I don’t know why we always end up in here.” Phoenix stood up, helping me into a sitting position. “Hang on. Let me find something to clean you up…I don’t have any words to describe what that felt like.”
He was walking away with his semi-erect cock bouncing and his jeans around his thighs while looking for a cloth.
“Fucking hot is how I’d describe it,” I told him grinning.
He turned towards me starting to clean himself up, and then zipped his jeans. Walking closer to me his eyes heated when he looked between my thighs. He knelt and with shaking hands cleaned his cum from me. “Okay,” he said in a rough voice standing up.
Grabbing my jeans and panties from the floor he sorted them, and then held them for me to step into, pulling them up my legs.
We stood staring at each other so I moved closer and pressed my lips to his in a caress. “I lo
ve you, too.” Taking his hand, I pulled him towards the door. “Come on, I want to watch you rock this place.”
Chapter Fifty-Five
Jack
It was early morning as I snuggled in bed beside Thalia, the girl who had my heart. After rocking Kix last night we’d come back to the house and sat outside on the porch swing for a short while with Liam and Mia. We’d been the first to head upstairs, going to our respective bedrooms, locking the doors then we’d met up in the shower before I’d carried Thalia to her bed, climbing in with her and just held her all night while we slept.
“You’re awake. What time is it?”
“Early,” I replied, kissing her on the nose.
Thalia snuggled more into my chest as I brought my arms tight around her stomach. She kissed my palm before entwining her fingers with mine.
“Phoenix, I’m nervous about today. What if your parents really go off the deep end?”
I kissed her shoulder, then turned her over to face me. “If they do, then we’ll deal with it together. Don’t mention anything to anyone, but Ryder has offered to loan me the money to finish college, if my father really does stop my tuition fees, but the truth is, even if he hadn’t made the offer, my choice would be you. I’ve fallen hard for you, which brings me to the next thing we need to discuss. College. Our college’s aren’t that far apart and I know you share an apartment with Callie, but I was wondering if you’d share with me, maybe find somewhere between the two with two bedrooms so Callie can share as well. I just don’t want to be separated from you,” I told her before I leaned in and kissed her on each eyelid.
She was smiling, but with tears in her eyes. “I’d love that Phoenix, and do you mean that about Callie?”
I wiped her tears away with my thumbs. “Yes, I mean it. You wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving her alone, and she’s your best friend. I also think we might be seeing a fair bit of Reece as well.”
She chuckled. “Yeah, she does seem, ah, keen. And so does he. Did you see his face last night when that guy started to move in on her? If Liam hadn’t moved him on when he did there would have been a fight.”
