SEVENTEEN

PHOENIX

Female Barbary macaques have loud sex. They scream and fake orgasms to attract multiple mates in hopes of confusing the males.

It starts with one look. I’m sure many things start that way: fights, affairs, lies…

With Jackal...with me...us—that look changes everything.

When he comes in the door, his eyes square on me and suddenly my senses are no longer languid and sleepy. I have the fleeting thought that I’m glad Gwen has gone to bed because something about him is different tonight. By the light of the fire, his eyes glow gold. The way he’s seeing me disables my lungs so that I’m not able to take a full breath. I can smell him, his distinct male scent mixed with the cedar logs in the fireplace. If I lifted his shirt to my nose, I know I’d smell wood burning. It’s not so much lust that’s in his eyes, but rather a soft vulnerability. He’s leaning forward in the chair across from me, elbows resting on his knees.

“And all that’s left is the predator and the bird,” he says softly. “Will she fly away?”

I want to tell him that I want him, but those are hard words to say; they’d scrape like nails coming out of my throat. My vulnerability sounds like anger. Everything I say comes across hostile, it’s probably why people don’t talk to me. So I say nothing, staring at Jackal and hoping he can hear what’s in my heart.

Outside the window the toads are singing—I try to focus on that sound rather than the feel of my pulse thrumming in my throat. I’m waiting for Jackal to say something.

“Come here, Phoenix.”

My temper sparks. I don’t like being told what to do, but then I see the look on his face.

“It’s not going to be the only time tonight that I tell you to come.”

I walk toward him, all thoughts fleeing my brain.

His fingers skate across my neck. He leans back and looks at me, eyes glazed and shimmering in the firelight. He stares at me intently while the seconds tick by and then he stands, his face an inch from mine.

“I want to savor you. Lick you clean and mark every inch of your skin with my tongue and teeth and—”

I groan and my head falls back, while his mouth on my neck makes me lightheaded. He shifts and we’re against the wall, his mouth hard on mine while his hand pushes my shirt and bra down. As soon as my breast is free, he tugs my nipple with his teeth and I cry out. He raises his head to look at me and I push him back down. I feel his smile across my skin and I laugh; it quickly turns into a whimper when he sucks me harder.

“Jackal,” I moan.

“Tell me…what do you want?” He kisses under my breast and traces his tongue down my stomach then lifts me from the wall and moves us to the alpaca rug in front of the fire. He spreads me out there and lifts my shirt over my head.
