Savage Desire [Desire, Oklahoma: The Founding Fathers 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Lana Dare

  Sarah sniffed, eyeing him warily. “I’m not crying.” Stunned that he seemed genuinely concerned, she smiled and laid her hands on his chest. “I want things to work between us, Phoenix. I’m proud to have you as my husband. I promise to try.”

  Phoenix smiled back, a gorgeous smile that weakened her knees. “I’m the one who’s going to have to try harder. Come into the cave with me, and I’ll show you how much I want you. No. Leave your shirt open. There’s no one around except me to see you, and I can’t stop looking at you.”

  Feeling decadent and more than a little naughty, Sarah smiled up at him again as he helped her up the rocks to the opening above.

  Pausing at the entrance to allow her eyes to adjust, she pressed herself against his side. “Are there any snakes in here?”

  Running a hand over her arm, he drew his gun. “I don’t know. You stay put while I check.”

  Sarah watched him go into the cave, alarmed when he disappeared.

  The cave was deeper than it appeared from outside, and when he’d been gone for several minutes, she began to get scared.

  “Phoenix?”

  “I’m coming.” Seconds later, he appeared, holstering his gun as he approached. “No snakes. Come on in.”

  She stepped farther into the opening, stepping carefully over the uneven rocks. “Are you sure?”

  Smiling, he took her hand and placed it on his chest. “Positive. I don’t ever want you to go to the back of the cave, though. There’s a huge hole in the middle, almost the entire size of the cave. It seems to go down hundreds of feet. You can’t see it without a light.”

  Sarah shivered. “And you went in there?”

  Phoenix grinned, a devilish grin that sent another kind of shiver through her. “I know where I’m going. As long as you walk around the edges, you’re fine. There’s about three feet of smooth rock all around the edges. I don’t want to talk about that anymore. I want to show you just how damned much I want you and do something to you that I’ve been thinking about all day.”

  The temperature dropped with each step she took, making her nipples bead even tighter. “Sounds scary.”

  Phoenix appeared to notice, his look of appreciation warming her as he slid his hand into her shirt again. “It will be, and then it won’t. I swear, darlin’, I could spend all day admiring your breasts.” Turning her, he hugged her from behind before his hands got busy with the rest of her buttons. “See the shelf over there?”

  Her head had fallen back against his shoulder, her eyes fluttering closed. Jerking upright, she nodded, eyeing the rock formation that created a shelf. The feel of his fingers closing over her nipples had her leaning back against him for support, a moan escaping at the sharp pleasure. Nodding, she forced her eyes to stay open. “Hmm mmm.”

  Several canteens lined the shelf, along with two kerosene lamps.

  Phoenix pushed her hair aside and with a low groan, brushed his lips over her neck while working her shirttails free of her skirt. “There’s a box of matches up there, along with several blankets. Why don’t we take one of those blankets down and make good use of it?”

  “Phoenix. Oh, God.”

  He pulled her shirt free of her skirt, parting the sides to leave her breasts completely exposed. “You’re so damned beautiful. You’ve got a fire inside you that burns me every time I get near you.”

  The hunger in his touch fueled her own. “Oh, Phoenix! That feels so good. You make me feel so naughty. I feel so free here.”

  His gravelly chuckle sent shivers over her over skin, heightening the awareness in her nipples and slit. “Free, you’re not.” His teeth scraped over the sensitive spot between her neck and shoulder as he stripped her shirt from her. “You’re tied to us and we’re never letting you go.” He untied her skirt, letting it fall to puddle at her feet. “As for naughty—naughty is good. You can be as naughty as you want to be with me—and I’m going to teach you how to be even naughtier.”

  Releasing her, he went to the shelf and retrieved a blanket, throwing it over his shoulder before striding toward her again. Lifting her naked body high against his chest, he let his gaze rake over her. “As a matter of fact, I’m going to do my best to teach you to be real naughty.”

  He strode a little farther back in the cave where she could hear water dripping, and where she could see another entrance that would lead even farther. The cool air felt incredible on her heated body, the darkness heightening the sense of intimacy. “Riding with your body pressed against mine and my cock pressed against that ass drove me crazy. Do you know how much I want to take you there?”

  Sarah sucked in a breath, her pussy clenching. “What are you saying? Surely, you can’t mean that you want to …” Too embarrassed to put it into words, she buried her face against his shoulder, grateful for the darkness surrounding them.

  She could barely see him in the low light, and hoped that he couldn’t see that she blushed.

  Phoenix chuckled again, but this time his soft laughter came out even rougher and filled with tension. “That’s exactly what I mean.”

  He lowered her to her feet, shook out the blanket, and spread it on the rock floor. Once he finished, he reached for her, running his hands up and down her body. “I like having you naked and at my mercy. Stay right here.”

  Wrapping her arms around herself, Sarah watched Phoenix go, only to come back seconds later with her clothes.

  “We’ll use your clothes and mine to protect your knees.” Turning to her, he drew her down to the blanket. “I was thinking about this all morning, and I stopped to get a tin of salve to grease that tight little bottom for my cock.” Lifting her face to his, he drew his shirt off and arranged it on the blanket. “Any time you get scared, or something hurts, just tell me.”

  A cool breeze washed over her, the sound of water dripping increasing the unreality of the situation. Another shiver went through her, this one laced with sexual hunger. “I think I’m a little scared now. I’ve never heard of such a thing. Are you sure it’ll work?”

  Her bottom clenched, the awareness there feeling almost as if he touched her.

  Phoenix groaned, rolling her to her side and settling in behind her. “I’m sure. We just need to go slow. We’ve got as long as it takes.”

  Sarah gasped at the slide of his finger through her slit, the friction against her throbbing clit nearly sending her over. “Oh!”

  Slipping his finger inside her pussy, Phoenix groaned. “You’re wet for me. Say my name.”

  Clenching on his finger, Sarah ran her hands over his chest, pressing her fingertips into the hard muscle she found there. “Phoenix.”

  It felt so good to be with him this way. So sexual, but with a closeness that hadn’t been there before.

  The intimacy seemed to grow with every kiss. Every caress. Every moan.

  His lips brushed hers. “Again.”

  “Phoenix!” The finger inside her slid free, brushing over her clit. “Please.”

  Fisting a hand in her hair, he looked down her body and smiled. “Wearing just your boots, you’re quite a sight.” Circling her, he caught her shoulder when she would have turned. “No, Sarah. You stay right where you are. Things are about to get a little naughty.”

  Closing her eyes, she struggled to remain still as he circled her, her muscles trembling under his trailing fingertips. “I can’t believe I’m doing this.”

  “Believe it.” His voice came from directly in front of her, his body brushing her nipples as he leaned close and touched his lips to hers. “Say my name again.”

  Realizing that he wanted to make sure she wasn’t pretending that he was Hawke or Blade, she smiled and opened her eyes. “Phoenix. I know who I’m with.”

  His eyes narrowed, but in the faint light she couldn’t see them well enough to even guess at his thoughts. “Don’t forget.”

  She sucked in a breath when he began to circle her again, crying out when he reached out to tap her nipple. “How could I forget?”

  Trembling
, she sucked in breath after breath, her entire body quivering with awareness under the slide of Phoenix’s lips and fingertips.

  Phoenix wrapped an arm around her from behind, his warm shoulder and chest forcing her to bend while he closed his teeth on the side of her neck. “I’m so hard I ache. I want you so damned much.” He worked his finger slowly toward her puckered opening, his intent obvious. “You liked when I touched your tight little bottom before. You let me make you feel good. Will you trust me enough to do it again?”

  Her bottom hole tingled, need brushing her fears away.

  Pressing his finger against her bottom hole, he scraped his teeth over her neck and shoulder, his voice deeper and more gravelly than before. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the way you responded. Spread your legs a little more. Yes. Good girl. Now a little more. That’s it.”

  Shaking even harder, she clung to his forearm for support, shaken by how good it felt to have him touch her there. “Phoenix. Oh, God.” Bent in front of him with her thighs spread wide, she braced her hands against the smooth rock, alarmed by the heightened awareness in her puckered opening.

  Phoenix withdrew his finger with a groan. “Be still, honey. I’m going to grease you up real good. Let’s see if we can wake that bottom up like we did before.”

  Remembering the hunger—the yearning to have his finger deeper—Sarah moaned, her bottom and pussy clenching in anticipation.

  Chuckling softly, Phoenix ran his finger, slick with salve, over her puckered opening. “Yes, you remember, don’t you?” He pressed against her sensitive opening, and despite her instinctive effort to close against him, the salve and being spread wide allowed him to slide his finger into her with ease.

  Feeling as wild and untamed as the land around her, she threw her head back and let out a cry of pleasure—a cry that seemed to echo off the rock walls. “Phoenix! Oh, God. It’s deep. Oh, God. Please. It feels so strange.”

  His lips moved over her neck, back, and shoulders, the heat from them warming her all the way through. His words, gruff and filled with sexual tension, made her even hotter. “You are so damned beautiful. So exciting. My wife. I want to explore every damned inch of you. God, you’re so soft. So responsive. Just feeling the way your ass is clenching on my finger is driving me crazy. I want to feel it on my cock.”

  Massaging her breast, he kept moving his finger in slow circles inside her bottom, creating a sharp hunger that had her spreading her thighs wider and lifting to her toes for more. “Phoenix!”

  Groaning, he slid his hand to her waist again, nuzzling her neck in the way she’d learned she liked. “That’s it. Say my name. I want to make sure you know who’s touching you.”

  “Oh, Phoenix. How could I not know? It feels so different when you touch me.”

  His lovemaking had a different feel to it than Hawke’s, his touch a different rhythm than Blade’s.

  Phoenix scraped his teeth over her neck, and with a harsh groan, squeezed her nipple lightly between his thumb and forefinger. “Different how?”

  Ribbons of pleasure raced through her, her bottom clenching when he slid his finger free. “I don’t know. Just different.”

  “Hmm. We’ll have to talk about that. Right now, though, we have more important things to take care of. I’m going to put more salve in you, and I’m going to use two fingers this time. I’ll go real slow, but I’ve got to stretch you a little to get your ass ready for my cock.”

  Her bottom clenched, the need to be filled strange and exciting.

  “Down on your knees, honey.” Supporting her weight, he eased her to her knees. “That’s it. Keep your knees on the clothes and blankets so you don’t hurt them.” He scraped his teeth over her neck, sending another wave of longing through her. “You’re so soft and tiny. I need to be careful with you.”

  Fisting her hands on either side of her head, she braced herself, her toes curling when he pressed a hand to the center of her back. “I don’t want you to be careful. I want you to take me.” Her pussy and ass kept clenching, while her clit tingled hotly for attention.

  “Put your shoulders down, Sarah. Jesus, this ass is a thing of beauty.” Phoenix’s voice, barely a rasp, sent shivers up and down her spine.

  Sarah cried out again at the burning sensation of having two fingers pushed into her, but found herself pushing back against him. “Phoenix! Oh, God. It burns.”

  “Do you want me to stop?” His voice, deep and rough with tension, came from just behind her ear.

  Arching her back to give him better access, she lifted into his touch again. “No! I can’t believe we’re doing this.” Her thighs shook as the pleasure grew, her voice becoming shaky and breathless. “I can’t believe you’re touching me there. Phoenix, are you sure this’ll work?”

  Sliding his hand from her breast, he pressed it against her back again, his firm fingers moving in and out of her with a slow deliberation that only made her want more. “It’s not only going to work, honey, it’s going to feel so good.”

  The need in his voice fueled her own, allowing a wildness she hadn’t know existed inside her to break free.

  Bucking restlessly, she threw her head back, her breath coming out in ragged moans. “Please. I ache so bad.”

  Straightening again, he ran his hand up and down her spine. “Hell, woman, you’re gonna be the death of me.”

  Moaning in frustration when he pulled his fingers free, she clenched helplessly, crying out when the head of his cock pressed firmly against her puckered opening.

  Her bottom burned as he worked the head of his cock into her, the shock of it rendering her immobile. “Oh, God. It’s going in.”

  Phoenix growled, a low, gravelly, primitive sound that excited her even more. “Yes. Hell, you’re tight.” He pushed against her slick puckered opening, not stopping until the head of his cock forced the tight ring of muscle to give way. “Say my name.”

  Crying out at the full, stretched sensation, Sarah fisted her hands as a shudder raced through her. “Phoenix!”

  Her clit tingled unbearably, the need for his touch so strong, she whimpered. “Please, Phoenix.”

  She felt wild, and Phoenix’s low groans and curses made her feel even wilder.

  Slowly rocking his hips, Phoenix pushed his cock deeper. “Hell, woman, you’re killing me. Say my name again.”

  She cried out again at the burning, stretched feeling as he pushed his cock deeper into her ass, stunned at the overwhelming feeling of being taken there.

  So wild.

  So primitive.

  “Phoenix. Oh, God.” Alarmed at how solid his cock felt inside her, she stilled. “Phoenix? Please. Oh, God. It’s so deep.”

  “Easy, honey.” Bracing a hand on the ground, he pressed his lips against her neck. “You’re mine now. I’m taking my wife. How can you think I don’t want you?” His cock jumped inside her, the feel of it startling her. “You belong to me now, and I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of you.”

  Sobbing with hunger, she lifted her head and turned it toward him. “Phoenix. It feels too good. How can something so naughty this feel so good?”

  “Because we want each other.” He buried his face against her neck, his hand sliding down her body. “It’s gonna get better.”

  Her stomach muscles quivered under his hand, her body tightening when his fingers slid over her mound. “Yes. Please. Oh, God. It’s so hard. I feel so full. Oh!” She couldn’t hold back her moans when he withdrew almost all the way before thrusting deep again. Jolting when his fingers slid over her clit, she started shaking harder, the pleasure too much to endure.

  He groaned, his deep voice rumbling next to her ear. “Yes. So good. So tight. So sweet. Yes, honey. My cock’s so damned hard. I can’t hold out much longer. Hmm. You’re soaking wet, love. Yes. Oh, yes. You like that.”

  The pleasure sharpened in her clit, and with a sob, she tried to close her legs, but couldn’t. Shaking, she tried to grab his hand, the waves of pleasure growing and threate
ning to overtake her. “Phoenix!”

  “I’ve got you, honey.”

  Without warning, the pleasure exploded, the heat and delicious tingling sensation coursing through her veins overwhelming her.

  Caught in the grip of pleasure so intense it almost hurt, she barely registered Phoenix’s low curse.

  A low growl rumbled from his chest as his cock stilled inside her. His fingers slowed on her clit, drawing out her orgasm until she couldn’t hold herself up anymore.

  Phoenix caught her when she slumped, his voice low and crooning. “I’ve got you, honey. Just lie still and I’ll take care of you.”

  She couldn’t seem to move, each slide of his hand over her body creating little sizzles of heat, while somehow soothing her. “Oh, Phoenix. I’m so weak.”

  “You’re okay, honey.” Warm lips moved over her back. “I’ve got you. Yeah.” His arms tightened around her, his lips pressed against her upper back. “I’ve got you.”

  They stayed that way for several long minutes, the sounds of their breathing and water dripping, and the caress of Phoenix’s hands up and down her sides lulling her almost to sleep.

  A moan escaped as he withdrew from her ass, her inner walls so sensitive that she clenched on him again. “Oooohhh!”

  “Shh.” Running his hand over her bottom, he turned her head until she faced him and studied her features. “I know, honey. Your bottom and clit are sensitive. Just stay here while I get something to clean you up and you’ll feel better.”

  Smiling when he tossed the edges of the blanket over her cooling body, she burrowed deeper. “I can do it. Just let me lie here for a minute.” Still trembling with the remnants of her orgasm, she closed her eyes, pillowing her head on his shirt and breathing in the warm, male scent of him. “Just a minute.”

  “Just rest, honey.”

  She must have drifted off, because the next thing she knew, he knelt beside her, soaking a cloth from his canteen. “Phoenix?”

  “Shh.” After cleaning her slit, he spread the cheeks of her bottom, chuckling softly and holding her when she squirmed. “There’s no reason to be embarrassed. I’m your husband. It’s my right to take care of you this way—to see you this way.”
