The helicopter circled one end of the island, passing over the graceful two-story home surrounded by magnificent landscaping, then settled down on a helipad at the side of the house. As soon as the rotors stopped spinning, the pilot jumped out, opened the passenger door and helped Miranda to alight.A tall, slender man with straight black hair, dressed in linen slacks and a silk shirt the color of his hair crossed the lawn to meet her. Silver eyes raked her from head to toe and a tiny smile quirked the corners of his mouth."Welcome to Coral Cay, Miss Fox." His voice was as smooth as his appearance. "You grace me with your presence." The first thought that popped into Miranda's head was, I'll bet he's a sophisticated lover. Her second thought was, I have to stop thinking about sex all the time.But her quest for the perfect lover so absorbed her that meeting a man like Lucien Rivard immediately kicked her hormones into high gear.She shook the outstretched hand offered to her. "
The sheets felt cool and silken beneath Miranda's rapidly heating body. The smoldering fire in Luc's eyes as he examined every inch of her did nothing to cool her off. His gaze never left her as he slowly removed his clothes, revealing a body more magnificent than she'd imagined. Muscular chest covered with soft, dark hair that arrowed over a flat abdomen to a most impressive erection. The broad head was a delicious shade of purple and topped a thick shaft with veins that visibly pulsed. This was a man who obviously took his sex seriously."I understand you are searching for the perfect lover. A difficult task but well worth the effort if it produces results. I am hoping your search ends here."He knelt on the bed between her legs and bent her knees, so she was exposed as she'd been on the lunch table. With a gentle touch Luc opened the lips of her pussy wide and stared into her vaginal opening."So beautiful," he murmured. "I shall enjoy doing such wonderful things to it."He expl
Miranda dropped onto the long sofa in her living room as soon as she entered her condo. She was pleasurably exhausted, still a little buzzed from all the wine she'd drunk but more than anything else she was disappointed.Luc had given her a wonderful afternoon of incredible sex and treated her with delicate care. But to say he was the perfect lover would be stretching things a little. And worst of all, the pearl he had showed her was not hers. She'd wanted to cry when he lifted it from the safe to put into her hand. It was a gorgeous pearl, set almost identically to the one Raoul had taken but it wasn't hers. The size and color were just that little bit off.The message light on her answering machine was blinking. Pushing herself off the couch with great effort, she depressed the button to hear what was recorded.Leslie. "How about calling me with news of your great adventure? Was he the one? Was the pearl yours?"Her broker. "We need to discuss your investment strategy, Miranda. I
Miranda's flight landed in Portland on time, late in the afternoon and she easily made the connection to the little puddle jumper that would take her to Bangor. As she stepped down from the folding stairway a man in slacks and a blazer stepped forward."Miss Fox?""Yes?""I'm Jason, Mr. Garvey's assistant. The car is just over here. Do you have you luggage?""For one night?" she chuckled. "Just this carry-on.""Then shall we go?"Jason was tall and muscular, with thick brown hair, amber eyes and a dimple. Just looking at him made Miranda's mouth water.Jesus, girl. Maybe B.J.'s right and you're letting things get out of control. This is the hired help, for God's sake.But regardless of the magnificence of the scenery as they drove down the coast highway, she had a hard time tearing her eyes away from the hunk driving the car.They passed towering pine trees on the left and the ocean pounding below the cliffs on the right. An occasional bike rider waved at them but for the mo
Alex took the glass from her hand, captured her face and pressed his mouth to hers. His lips were like rough silk, brushing over hers in a sensuous motion. He paid careful attention to her mouth, nibbling and licking and finally pressing his tongue against the seam to sweep it inside. His tongue was a hot flame, scorching her every place he touched, tasting her, twisting with her own tongue in an intense dance.She slid her fingers into his thick, dark hair, luxuriating in the feel of it and the press of his body against hers. The shape of his erection was unmistakable against the soft flesh of her belly and she couldn't help moving her hips against it.As Alex deepened the kiss, she felt Jason come up behind her and press himself against her, his erection pressing against her bottom. Even through the layers of cloth she could tell his cock was enormous.Jason's hands rested lightly on her shoulders, then moved down over the slope of her breasts, unbuttoning her blouse and pulling t
Jason lifted her once more and carried her to the other padded table. She realized what the cutouts were for when he arranged her breasts so they hung free though the openings. Alex separated her legs and she felt her ankles being cuffed to wooden extensions."I have found that spanking is an intense stimulation to prepare the body for other delights. Have you tried it before, Miranda?"She nodded. "Yes, I have.""And did you enjoy it?"She nodded again but she was thinking how much more stimulating it would be with the right man. Someone who saw sex as more than just an exercise. Of course, wasn't that what she'd been doing? So what right did she have to complain?Without warning, Jason's hand descended on her ass smartly, landing a sharp blow on one smooth globe. In a moment he smacked the other one."Jason is so good at this," Alex told her. "When he warms that luscious ass sufficiently with his hand he'll give you the pleasure of the special paddle he uses." He moved to posit
Miranda could barely stand when they propped her up in the shower and bathed her with tender care. They dried her, Jason carried her back into the playroom and sat her in a chair while Alex poured a chilled glass of wine for her."Mind-blowing?" Alex asked, grinning.She smiled up at him. "All that and more."Jason leaned down and captured her mouth in a deep kiss, his tongue a light caress as he tasted her. "Can you handle more, sweetheart? We have one more treat for you.""Actually," Alex chuckled, "we have a lot more but we don't want to wear you out in one night. We're hoping you'll come back to visit again."A nervous flutter danced in her stomach. "Can we talk about that later? Right now I'm ready for whatever else you have planned for tonight."The two men looked at each other as if passing some silent signal."All right, then," Alex said. "But drink your wine first."When the glass was empty, Jason took it from her and helped her to stand, unwrapping the towel from her.
Miranda couldn't remember when she'd slept so well or so soundly. Jason woke her at ten to tell her breakfast would be ready I n thirty minutes and remind her she had a plane to catch. When he kissed her cheek, he whispered, "Thank you," then left her to dress.The night had been extraordinary but left her disappointed on two counts. While Jason and Alex were wonderful lovers, they were still missing the elusive quality she sought. She had the constant feeling that the whole performance had been for their pleasure, not hers.And again, the pearl had been the wrong one.Insisting she still have something to remember them by, they had presented her with a tiny teardrop pearl on a gold chain, which she wore until she boarded the plane, Then she took it off and dropped it into her purse. It would rest in her jewelry box, a memento of a very erotic escapade but no more than that.She leaned back in her seat and sighed. What was she doing with her life, anyway? Nothing of any substance o
