Sizzle (Bad Boy Rockers) (Volume 1)(66)

“Caught.”

“I’ve no idea what you mean.”

“How old are you again?”

He leaned into me, “Old enough to have sex.”

I sighed. “Reece, the only people drinking that are those women over there from the church.”

He grinned, and gently put one arm around my shoulders. “I’m not having sex with them.”

“Will you be serious for once?”

“Thalia, I shared the bottle of wine out between the three jugs, after I’d poured three glasses of it first. Trust me, they’ll be fine. Now come and tell your friend what a great catch I am.”

That wouldn’t go down too well considering Callie seemed to be getting on with Donovan. “Ah, Reece.”

Sitting down on the grass to the other side of Callie, Reece completely ignored me at first as he passed the wine around. “Thalia, sit your sexy ass down right there, while I go and get another glass of wine,” he said passing me the third glass.

Dropping down to the grass beside Donovan, I shook my head. “No thanks. I’m fine.”

Both Donovan and Callie were watching me, while Reece was watching Callie. Reece was just as good looking as Donovan and I’d bet underneath all those tattoos, and badass charm, there was a heart of gold, and a guy who’d be great to cuddle up to.

A giggle burst from between my lips, I covered my mouth with my hand to try and keep it in, but no such luck.

“Ah, Thalia. Are you okay?” Callie asked me.

As I nodded my head, I looked across at Reece, who was grinning like an idiot. “I was just thinking how cuddly you’d be,” I told Reece, which wiped the smile off his face, and after a brief pause, Donovan roared with laughter.

“Hilarious,” Donovan said clutching his sides, wiping the tears from his eyes.

“Hey, I was being serious.”

“You want to try me out?”

With a grin on my face, I crawled over to him, getting comfortable between his legs, as he wrapped his arms around me.

I wiggled closer. “See, cuddly.”

“I keep telling all the girls that, but they don’t listen,” Reece replied, holding Callie’s gaze.

Donovan was looking at something over our shoulders, only for a frown to appear on his face a minute later. “Ah, you may want to move.”

“What the f*ck are you doing with Thalia?”

Phoenix.

“I said...”

“I know what you said, Phoenix.” Reece stood up, held his hand out for me and pulled me up from the grass to face Phoenix with him.

“It was my fault,” I said quietly.

He glanced at me then stepped toe-to-toe with Reece, “Stay away from her.”

“The only person she is interested in is you. Have you got any idea what this is doing to her?” Reece seemed to be on a roll.

Phoenix glanced to me then back to Reece.

“Thalia having to watch you parade around with Mia is so f*cking wrong, so you don’t have any damn thing to say about her sitting with me. This whole f*cking thing is screwed up, but don’t you dare come over here all threatening, because she is with me and not...you. Until this whole thing is sorted you don’t have that right.”

They were not going to fight over me. I pushed my way between the two, facing Phoenix, as Reece stepped back. I reached up and rested my hands on his chest, feeling his heart beating like a freight train, and then lifted my eyes to his. I could see the anguish in his. “Don’t do this. You know I love you, Phoenix. Reece is one of your best friends. Do you really believe he’d try to pinch me from under your nose? Do you believe I’d let him?”

“No, I don’t.” He looked over my shoulder at Reece. “I’m sorry...and don’t expect me to apologize again.”

Reece laughed, did the knuckle thing with Phoenix, and then grabbed Callie’s hand, pulling her with him, but she stayed attached to Donovan. All three walked over towards one of the tables with food.

“Your friend has her hands full, with the both of them trying to get in to her pants, and I mean at the same time,” Phoenix told me.

That comment grabbed my attention. “You serious?”

He grinned, wickedly. “Yes and it wouldn’t be the first time...and before you ask. Yes I have. With them, but not for well over twelve months.”

I snickered. “Was it good? What am I saying? Of course it was good. You’re a guy. A walking erection.”

“A walking erection,” he said with a spark in his eyes.

He looked around us, took my arm and pulled me with him behind the gazebo, slamming his mouth down onto mine.

The minute our mouths touched, I went up in flames. I wanted more. I needed more.

My hands went to his head, holding him in place while we continued to devour each other. His hands went to my hips and brought me flush against him; he was hugely aroused. I rubbed against him as we both groaned into each other’s mouths.

“Thalia,” he panted, and started to move his lips down my neck, then back up to my lips. “I want you... Seeing you with Reece drove me crazy.”

“I only want you. Phoenix, I need to taste you.”

He sealed our lips together in a heated kiss while I tried to get even closer. Just as Phoenix put his hand on my thigh and started to move it slowly up, towards my hip, we heard someone cough.
