wanted her. And she wanted them.
“I’m going to fuck your gorgeous ass, love. Bro, you going to get
into her pretty pussy?”
“You bet, I am.”
Dallas moved down until his lips kissed her ass’s entrance, and
then his tongue explored until she thought she might faint. Soon he was applying more lube and probing her with his fingers. The more he stretched her, the more Jessie craved to have both their dicks inside her.
Dallas took one of the vibrators, a blue one, and turned it on. She listened to its hypnotic buzzing. He placed it between her ass cheeks.
The pulsation of the thing heated her up and drove her mad. When he pushed it into her ass, she tensed. Her insides burned and stretched.
“Shh. I’m going to go slow. Don’t worry. You can take this.
Right?”
“Yes, Sir.” He moved the wicked device in and out of her, inching
forward into her depths bit by bit. Soon her hurt faded and her desire grew. As she took most of the toy, she licked her lips. Her head lolled from side to side as she moaned.
“I’m gotta get inside her, Dallas.”
“You ready for him, love?”

She panted, “Y-yes, Sir.”
Phoenix drove his cock into her pussy, filling her up completely.
He pumped in and out of her channel. He rolled onto his back, pulling her along the way, keeping his cock secured inside her.
Dallas removed the vibrator. “Didn’t that feel good?”
“Yes, Sir.”
He moved into position to take her from behind. “You ready for
my cock, love?”
She felt the tip of his dick at her backside.
“Yes, Sir.”
Without waiting, he pushed his cock into her ass. There was pain,
but it faded away after a bit, leaving Jessie with extreme desire. In no time, the Wilde brothers moved in and out of her body, filling her up.
Their invasion caused her hips to move instinctively. Need seized
her entire being. The more they plundered her pussy and ass with their cocks, the more overwhelmed she became from the wild sensations
galloping through her core.
She loved how she felt, loved them being inside her. Loved their
domination of her.
Dallas continued sending his dick into her backside, while
Phoenix worked over her pussy with his.
“I’m about to come,” Dallas growled from behind.
Phoenix breathed fast. “Me, too. Jessie, I want you to come, right
now.”
“Y-Yes, Sir!” Her climax came like a lightning bolt that sparked
every nerve ending to fire.
Both Phoenix and Dallas shot their loads.
Jessie quaked for several minutes with her slowly fading orgasm.
The men rolled back on their sides with her in between. She looked at Phoenix, his eyes half-lidded with lust, his body glistening from his sexual heat. He’d helped her along the path of discovery. How had he known she would respond? The man stunned her. In no time at all,
she’d fallen head over heels for him.

Chapter Ten
Jessie stood inside Carlotta’s waiting for the fortune-teller and
liquor store owner to emerge from behind the beaded door. She’d
come to depend on the woman for her wine and advice. Phoenix had
turned her life upside down and sideways. She needed perspective,
and fast. She hadn’t been able to reach Michael and doubted he would be unbiased in his recommendations. Carlotta was her best and only
choice in Wilde.
Jessie patted the statue of Buddha that sat on the counter. “You
think I’m crazy, right? Of course you do. Talking to inanimate
objects. Who wouldn’t?”
She was beginning to enjoy the trancelike music and the smell of
burning incense in the place. She hit the antique brass counter bell again.
Where is Carlotta?
The fortune-teller parted the beads and stepped up to the counter.
In her mid-sixties, she wore a long, flowing white dress. Her black, wavy hair hung to her shoulders. The woman was a character, but
very endearing.
“Jessica, I vas expecting you. I hope I didn’t keep you vaiting too long. I vas talking with my daughter on da phone.”
“Don’t worry about it. I haven’t been here but a few minutes.”
Jessie was surprised she wasn’t wearing the turban like the first time she’d met the woman.
Carlotta took out a pack of cigarettes from under the counter. She
lit one of the nail coffins with the large lighter that sat next to the ashtray by the register. “More vine? Or are you here for a reading?”
“Both. I need both.”
Wilde Fire

“Becoming a believer. Dat’s excellent.” She smashed the single-
puffed cigarette into the ashtray. “First, da reading. Then da vine.
Follow me, my dear.”
Jessie felt silly. Was she really stooping to this to figure out what was going on with her and the Wilde brothers? “Maybe I should take
a rain check on the reading, Carlotta.”
“No. You need dis reading. I sense it.” The woman grabbed her
hand and closed her eyes. Carlotta’s lips vibrated ever so slightly. Her eyes opened. “Not ready for da crystal yet, but da cards vill suffice.”
“Okay. You’re the expert.”
They walked through the beads into the room Jessie had visited
before. This time, she studied the multicolored fabrics draping the walls and every other surface. They were silk and looked to be pretty expensive. In the center of the room was the small table.
“Dhere, my dear.” Carlotta pointed to one of the folding chairs at
the table.
Jessie sat. The fortune-teller fell into the large, black leather
wingback chair on the opposite side of the table. A small, ancient
wooden cabinet was behind the woman that Jessie hadn’t noticed
before. She opened one of its drawers and pulled out the tarot deck.
“Tell me vhat you vant to know, Jessica.”
She was tempted to tell her about the time she’d been spending
with Phoenix and the other Wilde brothers, but she didn’t. She liked Carlotta, but didn’t want to be a part of small-town gossip, especially given her investigation was still going on. “I want to know if I’m on the wrong track, both professionally and personally.”
“Excellent inquiry for da spirits.”
“Glad to hear it.” Jessie smiled.
“Let’s see vhat da spirits tell us.” As before, Carlotta shuffled the cards several times. She patted the deck and created three piles on the table.
“I know. Don’t touch. Just point.”
The sweet soothsayer grinned. “Fast learner.”

She pointed to the deck to the left.
“You sure? Dis is the vone?”
Jessie closed her eyes. It would be great if the cards and Carlotta really could tell her what to do. Her mind whirled.
“Take your time, my dear. Make sure.”
Phoenix’s face appeared in her mind, then Jackson’s. “I just don’t
know.”
“Breathe. You’re very close to knowing da vone.”
“The one on the right. That’s it.”
“Good girl. You know, I dink you’ve got a bit of da gift yourself.”
“Yeah, right.”
“Skeptics often do, you know. Okay. I tink dhree-card spread for
you dis time.”
“I’m ready.” Jessie sat on the edge of her seat as Carlotta turned
over three cards and placed them on the table.
“Dis shows da arc of da past, present, and future around vhat
you’re curious about, my dear.” She pointed to the first card. “Dis is da Five of Cups.”
“Since it’s upside down, that means something?”
“Very fast learner indeed. Yes. Vhen reversed, it means you’ve
accepted a loss. You’re trying to move on from some sadness and
grief dat has held you back. Often, it means a broken relationship, but in your case, I see more. A parent, perhaps?”
Jessie’s jaw dropped, and she looked around the room, wondering
if a ghost was about to show up.
“Relax, my dear. Only my guides are vith us now. No vone else.
Let’s move on.”
“Yes.” She sighed. “Let’s.”
“Da middle card is what you vish to uncover. Dis is a very good
card. Da King of Swords. Its very essence is air. Dink of a cloudless blue sky. Vhat you seek, you already know.”
“But I don’t. I’m confused.”
“Child, da King here says you are surrounded by men of action

and determination. Men vith such devotion dat is incorruptible. You know dis already, but doubt.”
Images of the Wilde brothers swam in her head, sometimes
wearing cowboy hats, sometimes wearing nothing at all. “Go on.”
“Mmm. Jessica, dis card is troubling. Da critical element
approaching.”
“It’s reversed.”
“Yes. If it vasn’t, da Seven of Wands would be a card revealing
something very different dan it does here.”
“What do you see?”
“Failure. Great challenges met vith cowardice. Embarrassment.
Danger. I’m so sorry, my dear.” Carlotta scooped up the cards and put them back into the cabinet.
Jessica tensed. Maybe she was becoming a believer. She’d
screwed up royally. Once her boss got wind of who she’d been
spending time with in Wilde, embarrassment would be the least of her troubles. “Thank you.”
“Da cards only show vhat the current path leads to. You may
change da course, and da outcome might be different.”
“That’s exactly what I plan on doing. Now, I think I’m going to
need two bottles of wine tonight.”

Jessie looked again at the document she’d pulled from the file at
the mine. She compared the signature with others she’d seen of
Austin Wilde’s. It matched. Sure, the guy was arrogant, but she still found it hard to believe he would issue instructions to limit safety equipment in the mine to below required standards to save money.
But the evidence was in her hands. A single memo with his signature.
She took a photo of it with her cell then attached a digital copy of it to the draft e-mail she was working on to update her boss about her investigation.

An hour later, all she had were three sentences:
Still working on the investigation at Wilde Mine. Attached is one
piece of evidence that is pretty damaging for the management. I’ll
keep looking for clues that will shed more light on the accidents.
It just didn’t make sense to her. Or was she just trying to fool
herself? Could she be afraid of what would happen once the other
Wilde brothers found out that her investigation was pointing to Austin as being responsible for the accidents at the mine? Things would
never be the same. Still, something seemed fishy about this whole
affair, and the eldest Wilde brother did seem capable of pretty
dangerous actions.
“I’ve got three weeks to find out the real truth.” She detached the copy of the memo.
I’ll send that another time.
She deleted one sentence from her draft message to her boss. The e-mail now read:
Still working on the investigation at Wilde Mine. I’ll keep looking
for clues that will shed more light on the accidents.
She took a deep breath, and then pressed the

Phoenix watched his mom whirl around the massive kitchen from
counter to counter like a well-trained dancer.
Mary Wilde loved to cook, and this room was her favorite domain
in the family’s mansion. Even still, she wasn’t a woman who only
doted on her husbands. She had a mind of her own with modern
sensibilities he’d seen time and again. She had a way with his dads that was dazzling to behold.
Her blue eyes sparkled. “I’m so glad to have at least one of my
sons in this old house.”

“I’m glad I came.” He’d lived at the mansion until he turned
eighteen and moved into his own home. So many wonderful
childhood memories.
His mom placed some fresh chocolate chip cookies and a glass of
milk on the table in front of him. He took a bite, relishing the sweet taste of his mother’s baking.
“Tell your other brothers to pay a visit on me, will you?”
He took a sip of the cold milk. “I promise I will.”
She patted him on the back and smiled. She’d turned fifty-seven
on her last birthday, but she could’ve passed for forty. There wasn’t one gray strand in her long dark hair. He’d gotten his hazel colored eyes from her.
She sat down beside him at the kitchen table. “So, tell me all
about her?”
“Who?”
“Don’t be coy with me. I recognize a man in love when I see
one.”
Was it that obvious? “You don’t know her.”
“I didn’t think so. Sis told me about Ms. Greene.”
“Maude Strong can’t keep a secret to save her life.”
“Don’t talk about your aunt that way, young man. She sent me a
message on Facebook.”
“I hope she didn’t post it to your wall. Nobody can keep anything
private in this town.”
“Well, at least not from your old mom and Aunt Maude. Don’t
worry. It was a direct message. So, how are your brothers taking to Jessie?”
“We have to keep a bridle on Jackson, or he would put a ring on
her finger today. I can tell that Dallas is slowly falling for her, too.
Denver needs to spend more time with her.”
“And Austin?”
“You know him, Mom. He’s made it pretty clear that he won’t
likely follow the family’s norm.”

If the plan to get Jessie up-to-speed and ready for Austin didn’t
pan out, Phoenix expected his eldest brother would leave Wilde
forever.
