“I'm not the one you need to apologize to.” Phoenix says and looks back at Jennifer.
Slowly William turns around, and he looks pale. “I am so sorry Jennifer. I am a huge ass, and very thankful you stopped me.” She glances down to his ring finger again, and then back to his face.
“That is all, now leave.” William looks over his shoulder at Phoenix, and nods.
Phoenix stares at her and they don’t say or do anything when they hear the door close. She is still shocked from hearing him call her his girlfriend. “I can't keep you a secret. I wanted to rip my VP and friend apart.”
She walks over to him, and smiles up at him. He is her knight in shinning armor. “I almost died when you called me your girlfriend.” He laughs and places his hands on her hips to pull her closer to him.
His midnight blue eyes are staring deep into her soul. She never thought someone would ever look at her this way. “Well you need to get use to it. I will be calling you my girlfriend from now on.”
He grins his perfect smile at her, and she can feel her heart skip a beat. Jennifer knows she is in trouble, she already started to fall for him. “I need to ask you something.” He tries to hide his worried looked, but she seen it.
“Darling, you can ask me anything.” He smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes.
She has to look away from his eyes to ask what she needs to know. She doesn’t want to fall more in love with him without knowing. “Do you like me for me or is it my blood?”
He takes both of her hands into his. “Shit, I didn’t want him to tell you that. I do feel more attractive to you, but that is all you. I guess your blood does help, but I want you.” He tilts her head back so she is looking at him. “Darling, what has your heart racing? Why are you scared?”
Jennifer has only been in love one time in her young life, and he cheated on her. She closes her eyes, and bites her bottom lip. “Phoenix, I am falling in love with you, and I can't stop it.” She opens her eyes and he is staring at her blankly. “I know that this isn't what you wanted. You just wanted to be there for the babies, and kind of me. I didn’t want to fall in love with you, I truly didn’t. But I can't get you off of my head.” He covers her mouth with his large hand.
“Will you shut up and let me talk?” She nods. “Good, you sure know how to make a man speechless. I have never had anyone one love me before, darling.” She wants to take this broken man and make him whole. “Don’t look at me like that. I never been with the same woman, more that once. And you know why that is, you are the only one I cannot drain.” He takes his hand away and continues. “I don’t know if I am falling in love with you, I don’t even think I am capable of giving love. But I do know I can't get you off of my mind, and I want to be near you all the time. I would give up everything I own to see you happy.”
Jennifer can feel her tear falling from her eyes. “Oh Phoenix.” She whispers, and he gently brushes her tears away with hand.
“I want to be happy with you, and I want to feel love. Just work with me, please.” She smiles at him, this is her incubus.
“I will work with you. You are perfect the way you are, and I know you are capable of love. I can feel it here.” She places her left hand on his heart.
He puts his hand on top of hers, and she smiles up at him. “I hope your right.”
“Oh honey, don’t you know the women is always right in the relationship?” She bats her eyes at him and he laughs. She loves the sound of him laughing.
“I will remember that.” She wraps her arms around his back and he holds her tight to him. “Darling, you didn’t eat lunch today. What would you like me to order for you?” She lays her head on his chest and listens to his heart. She hopes one day she will be the keeper of it.
She smiles against his chest. “Pizza.” He groans, and she laughs.
“Really? I thought you would have got that craving over last night.” She shakes her head against his chest. “Fine, I will order it for you. But I am taking you to dinner tonight, somewhere nice.” She frowns, Jennifer never really liked nice restaurants. They are way over priced, and her dad would always bring her to over priced restaurants to say how sorry he was for missing whatever he missed of hers.
She lifts her head and he looks down at her. “You know I’m fine with Olive Garden.”
He makes a disturb face. “Darling I said a nice restaurant. Not Olive Garden.”
She glares at him. “Well that is what I want.”
Phoenix removes her arms that are around him and walks away from her. “You know you are nearly impossible.” He turns around and he smiles. “That is what I like about you, my darling angel.”
“I know I’m not easy to be with, but I don't like when someone wants to take care of me. I know I’m going to have to get use to it, but I don’t want to get hurt again. So until I can full trust you I will demand for what I want, and if you don’t like it I will deal with my heartache.” She says and keeps her eyes on him the whole time.
“I want your trust more than anything, and I hope to get it with time. I don't want to cause you heartache, and if I do I will gladly cut out my own heart for you.” He walks back to her and takes her hand. “Now, go back out there and I will order you some pizza.” Phoenix brings her hand to his lips.
“Thank you Phoenix.”
“You are welcome Jennifer.” He gives her one last smile and walks back to his desk.
She is smiling as she walks out of Phoenix's office. When she gets back to her desk she hears her phone beeping. She takes it out of her purse and sees she has four missed calls from Megan. Jennifer figures she should just send a text. She isn’t too happy with her best friend, she said a lot of hurtful things.
What's up Meg.
Jennifer presses send and within seconds she gets a new text message.
When you get off call me. We need to talk.
Jennifer sighs at her phone. She wants to work things out with Megan, but how will she take Jennifer being a Nephilim.
We do need to talk but I’m going to dinner with Phoenix, so come over at 10?
After she hits the send button she closes her eyes. This is the biggest thing that has ever come between them. Her phone beeps and she looks at it.
10 works see you then.
Jennifer puts her phone away, and looks back at her computer screen. She looks at Phoenix's calendar, she sees that he will be out-of-town for a week in a month for now. She will have to talk to him about that, he is all convince that he needs to be with her, she wonders what he will do when he is out of town.
“Jennifer Cruz?” she jumps when she hears her name. She looks up to a face she recognizes, it's Phoenix's driver. He smiles warmly at her. “Mr. DuPont, asked me to get you some pizza. If I remember correctly you like extra cheese and pepperonis.”
Jennifer returns his warm smile. “Oh thank you.” She takes the little box from him, and when she looks inside she groans. It smells so freaking good.
“Ms. Cruz I hope you enjoy your lunch.” He nods to her and starts to turn around.
She stops him by touching his arm. “Wait, what's your name?”
“Mark ma'am.”
“Thank you, Mark.” She smiles and sees a smile on his face. He is older probably in his forties, and he reminds her of Richard Gere. He nods and walks away, she wonders if he knows about Phoenix.
She takes out her first piece of the delicious pizza. It doesn’t take her long to completely eat every last bite of the three slices.
Chapter Eight
Jennifer looks at the time and realizes she has seen or heard from Phoenix in three hours. She stands up and grabs her purse, she was supposed to be off thirty minutes ago. She sees a red head walking toward her, well most likely to Phoenix's office.
“Jennifer tell Phoenix I am here to see him.” Melissa doesn’t even look at Jennifer, she keeps her eyes on Phoenix's office door.
Jennifer picks up her phone and presses the button that connects her phone to his. “Darling, I
am just turning off my computer.”
“Mr. DuPont, Melissa wants to see you.” She looks back up at Melissa, she is tapping her toe and her hands are on her hips.
“Shit, I don't want to see her. I wanted to leave with you. Will you please wait for me?” His voice softens and she can feel herself blushing.
“Of course I will.” She says and smiles.
“Good, now send her in.”
Jennifer hangs up her phone and smiles at Melissa. “He says to go in.”
Melissa glares at Jennifer. “Of course he says that.” She looks back at the door and smiles. “I'm going to marry that man someday.” She flips her hair and opens the door.
Jennifer has never been a violent person, but she wanted to shove Melissa's head through a wall. She glances at her phone, she'll give him ten minutes. After that she is leaving.
***
Phoenix smiles at Melissa as she walks in, he hopes this will be a fast meeting. “Hello Melissa, what is going on?” She shakes her head, he can see she is upset.
“Oh Phoenix, our commercial is lost.” His eyes widen, he has pay so much money for this commercial, for his latest project. It's for a new touch screen tablet that you can project the screen on the wall.
“What do you mean lost?” He keeps his voice calm, as he sits behind his desk. Melissa sits in front of him.
“I don’t know I gave it to the IT guy, and he can't find it.” She says and bites her lip. He makes himself breath, and keeps himself calm. He wants to rip people apart until he finds this commercial.
“Which IT guy?”
Phoenix watches Melissa looks up as if she is thinking. “I think Sam or Tim.” She says and looks back at him. Well he knows that there isn't a Tim that works in the IT department, but there is a Sam.
He picks up his phone and calls Sam in IT. “IT this is Sam, what can I help you with?”
“Sam, where is my commercial you had?” He hears Sam choking, and he shuts his eyes.
Sam clears his throat. “Mr. DuPont, I am looking for it. I’m thinking someone picked it up in here. But you will be the first person I call.”
“Good, now go and find my commercial. It needs to be turned in, in two days.”
“Yes Mr. DuPont, and I am so sorry.” Phoenix looks down at the clock on his desk and groans. He has spent fifteen minutes dealing with this.
“Sam I want you to call Melissa when you find it. I have plans tonight.” He says and stands up. Melissa is glaring at him.
“Of course Mr. DuPont.” Phoenix hangs up his phone and Melissa stands up.
She puts her hand on his shoulder. “Phoenix I will find it and get it in on time. I promise you.” She puts her right hand above her heart.
He nods, “I really have to go. Call me if you really need me, and leave me a message.” He looks down at her hand that is still on his shoulder. She moves it and smiles at him.
“Have a good night Phoenix.” She says and turns around to walk out of his office. He needs to get to Jennifer's place, and he doesn't blame her being mad. He walks out of his office and glances at her desk she is gone, like he thought she would be. He quickly rushes out of the office and to her apartment.
***
Twenty-five minutes pass, and she walks out of the elevated to her car. She gets into her car and sees Mark standing by Phoenix black BMW. He nods at her and she smiles. Jennifer knows that he will be calling their boss as soon as she is driving away.
She stops at her favorite fast food place on the way home, Taco Bell, and heads to her apartment. She isn't surprise when she sees Phoenix standing against her door. He has his tie and jacket off. His brown hair is his face, covering his midnight eyes. As she gets closer he looks up at her, and he steals her breath.
“I thought I was taking you out to eat.” She doesn’t say anything, she just puts her keys in the door and unlocks it. She leaves open the door and walks into the kitchen. “Jennifer, please don’t ignore me.”
She sets the bag on the table and turns to look at him. “I wasn’t sure how long you were going to be with her, and I sure the hell wasn't going to wait around.” It hurt her more that she thought it would when Melissa said she was going to marry Phoenix someday.
“This is about Melissa?” She meets his dark blue eyes and doesn’t say anything. “Darling, the only women I want is you. You are all I can think of.” Jennifer knows she is being stupid, but she can't help. She feels his hands tilting her head back so he can meet her eyes. “Darling angel, your ex-boyfriend is an idiot for cheating on you. You are amazing, and caring.” He closes his eyes, and when he opens then he smiles. “I don’t know what I feel for you. When you smile it does something to me right here.” He places a hand on his heart. “Jennifer, I never let anyone get close because I knew I could never stay. It was different with you from the start.” Even if she doesn’t get those three words from him, she knows he cares for her.
She can feel her tears in her eyes, and she knows without a doubt she loves him. She moves away from him and grabs her food. “I figured you would be waiting for me, so I got you a few soft tacos.” He looks at the food and frowns. “Please tell me you have had Taco Bell.” He shakes his head, and her mouth drops open. She takes out a soft taco for him, and hands it to him. “Here, try it.” He looks at it and shakes his head. “Please.” He looks back up at her and she bats her eyes.
“You know that stuff is really bad for you.”
“Just eat it.” She says and then takes a bite of hers. Phoenix unwraps the taco slowly, and glares at it. Jennifer snorts trying to hold back her laughter. He sniffs it and then takes a bite.
He stops and looks at her. “It's really good.” He takes a larger bite this time, and she smiles.
After they are done eating, she walks out of the kitchen and takes off her shirt. His eye are glued to her and she smiles. The next thing that comes off is her bra. “I'm going to take a shower.” She stops the take of her pants, she bends to give him a show with her butt. She is thankful she has a pretty thong on.
She hears him groan, and she slowly stands back up. “I think you are trying to kill me.” He says, sounding closer to her. She looks over her shoulder at him and he is behind her. She smiles and he turns her around. “I want to take that shower with you.” She reaches down to take off her thong, and he stops her by grabbing her hands.
“Oh no, I want to do that.” She smiles up at him, and he drops to his knees in front of her. Slowly be pulls her underwear off, and leaves a trail of hot kisses down her body. “I haven't been able to get your taste out of my mouth since the first time I ate your pussy.” She blushes when he talks dirty to her, and she moans when he breaths on her core. Jennifer looks down at him, and all she can see is his brow hair. He looks at her and smiles.
He takes his pointer finger and rubs her clit. This is what she wanted all day, her release. She knows that she isn’t going to last long, Jennifer can already feel it building. She looks back down at him and he is watching her. He winks and she watches him lick her clit, she throws her head back and screams out his name.
She can feel his laughter against her, which makes her moan. She can feel her knees growing weak, “Phoenix.” She moans, and he looks up at her.
“I got you darling angel. Put your back against the wall and your legs on my shoulders.” She doesn’t question his, she just does what he says. At first it feels awkward, but as soon as his tongue and teeth start going at her she forgets about the awkwardness. He replaces his tongue and teeth with his fingers. “Darling I want you to come in my mouth, and I want to fuck you against this wall.” She doesn’t trust her voice, so she nods. Phoenix takes his fingers away, and puts his mouth back on her. She holds herself back until be gently pushes a finger inside of her, she can't hold back anymore. She screams out his name, and he tightens his hold on her. He moans against her and she can feel her legs growing weak.
He sets her on her butt, and takes her face into his hands. He kisses her and she can feel her he
art and body opening up for him. He pulls away and smiles. “Darling wrap your legs around my hips, and your arms around my neck.” She does what he tells her and he stands up. His hands are under her butt, and she can feel the tip of him against her.
“Please Phoenix.” She begs him, and she watches him smile.
“I love it when you say my name.” He thrusts himself into her, and she screams out with another orgasm. Jennifer keeps her muscles tight in her vagina, and it's now his turn to moan. She closes her eyes to enjoy the pace he has set. Nice and slow, in and out. “Look at me.” He whispers against her ear, and then he nibbles on her lobe. Groaning she opens her eyes, and his face comes back to hers. She smiles at this beautiful man that is all hers. She moves as much as she can to kiss him. He meets her haft way and when their lips touch he speeds up his rhythm. She pushes her tongue into his mouth and he gently sucks on it. Jennifer can feel another orgasm building, she tightens her hold around his neck.
Jennifer feels as if she can't take any more pleasure, and she hasn't felt Phoenix feed yet. She knows when he does she will have a few more orgasms. She moves her lips far enough away to say, “Phoenix feed.”
She can feel his power pouring into her, taking what he needs. She doesn't even have a warning this time when her orgasm explores around him and he cries out her name. Jennifer loses herself when she feels his hot release inside her.
His hot breath is coming quick on her neck, and she buries her face into his shoulder. After a few minutes his breathing gets back to normal and he carries her to her bedroom. There is just no way she could walk after that. Her legs feel like jelly, and she giggles.
He sets her on her bed and grins at her. “You know, guys don't like to hear the girl they just fucked giggling.” She smiles.
“Sorry.” She bites her lips to stop her giggles.
He shakes his head. “You are the first one to ever giggle.” He leans down and kisses her lips. “I do love that sound.” His voice is deeper, and she has a good feeling he is getting hard again. She can feel her eyes getting heavy. “Darling don’t fight it.” She feels his warm, hard body snuggle up to hers. He puts his around her stomach. “Sleep my angel.” She shuts her eyes, and falls asleep listening to his breathing.
