Perfectly Equipped Read online

  I let the crown slide in first.

  His grunt encouraged me.

  I lowered myself, savoring the slick stretch as he filled me to my full depth. His width was perfect. His hands found my breasts, kneading them like he couldn’t get enough of their feel, rubbing the flesh until his fingers seized my nipples once again. I arched my back and slowly began rocking my hips, luxuriating in that first feeling of complete penetration. My body felt like it was plugged into the right outlet with the right voltage it had been seeking my entire life. Nothing had felt this good – ever – and I didn’t think it ever could again.

  “You’re so much more than I imagined, April.” He shook his head. “You’re driving me crazy.”

  I bit my lip and picked up my speed, finding that perfect rhythm. Feeling my ass slap against his thighs, my hips were no longer rolling but riding, and it didn’t hurt. My senses could only feel a beautifully crisp ache for more. The tempo was beginning to spark new fire inside me. Each time I plunged down, my pussy clasped around him and rubbed against his heated skin. Wet sounds echoed from between us, mixing with our heavy breaths.

  “Jesus!” he yelled.

  I thought for a moment I felt the earth shake again, but it was Sean lifting me up and off, flipping me onto my hands and knees and thrusting into my wet folds from the back.

  “I. Need. To be. On top,” he said between each breath. This time the slap of him against my ass burned. But it wasn’t because of my tan – it was because of the force with which he took me. Oh, this would definitely end with another orgasm. I could already feel it building. I lowered my shoulders and my face to the pillow, causing my ass to lift higher, and reached underneath my body between my legs. This seemed to drive Sean insane.

  As soon as I touched my swollen clit, I felt that zap of pleasure fly through my body, and I screamed. Sean held onto my hips, pushed twice more, and then stilled behind me, his whole body tense as he came. The explosion between us was so huge that for a moment I thought I heard it vibrate the windows. It was unbelievable. When I turned and looked back, I was afraid the vein in his jugular was going to pop. And when he opened his eyes, I thought I saw a spark of emotion I’d never seen before. I wanted to ask him about it, but the bed shook again. He pulled out and looked at me funny.

  There was that explosion again. It wasn’t in my mind, after all.

  “What the hell was that?” I asked.

  “I don’t know.” He shot off the bed and opened the balcony. In the distance, an orange glow loomed beyond the mountains, and the smell of sulphur filled the air.

  “Volcano. Fuck! Come on.”

  He pulled a shirt over his head while I jumped into my dress. Feeling his seed drip down the inside of my leg, I ran out the door and saw Millie.

  “April, we need to hurry. They’re evacuating the island. Most people have already left.”

  “That fast?”

  “There’s only about a hundred on this resort,” Sean said. “Let’s go.” The three of us followed the few remaining guests to the beach where three speed boats were waiting. I stepped into the water behind Millie. She hopped onto the boat just as the driver said, “One more and this one’s full.”

  I turned around, wanting to find another one the three of us could get on, but Sean said, “Get in the boat!”

  “What about you?”

  “I’ll take the other one.”

  “This is not early 1900, and we’re not on the Titanic!” I screamed back. “I’m going with you.”

  “Get in the damn boat, before I make you!” he shouted. Sean’s eyes then softened. “Please, April. I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything happened to you.”

  I kissed him forcefully. His arms wrapped around me, for the first time since I’d been sunburned, tightening. Pain shot through my body but I didn’t care. In fact, I didn’t want to let go until he pushed me away.

  “I’ll find you,” he said.

  “Okay.”

  As soon as the boat pulled away, I realized that I didn’t even know Sean’s full name, and my heart sank. How would we ever find each other? Out in the distance, the volcano was spitting red fire into the air. I’d never seen anything like it in my life. The force and power were tremendous. While I was certain we were far enough, the danger of it all didn’t escape me.

  “Are you okay?” Millie asked.

  “Yeah, I think so.”

  “Some adventure, eh?”

  I nodded as a few more speedboats pulled away from the shore. I tried to keep track of the one Sean got into, but as we sped toward the center of the ocean, it was impossible. There were hundreds of them, racing away from the island, all from different resorts.

  “The driver said the pyroclastic cloud shouldn’t reach us. We left just in time.”

  And that’s when I broke down. I wasn’t the only one to do so. Millie held my hand all the way until we reached what looked like a military boat. There were about six of them, from what I could see, taking on the passengers from the speedboats. I prayed that once we docked I could find Sean.

  Unfortunately for me, half the vessels were guided to a dock in a different city. And that’s how I lost Sean, the man I’d only met that morning, who had turned my life upside down in less than a day.

  Afterword

  Perfectly Seduced

  "I'm protecting her from the people who hired me to get rid of her." - Sean

  Relationships can still work if they begin with lies, can't they? Big, fat lies from a man with the perfect... everything.

  Because despite everything, I can’t stay away from him. Despite the secrets he’s kept. Despite the lies he’s told.

  Something makes me feel I can trust him, no matter what the truth turns out to be.

  I just hope I’m right.

  Otherwise, with a fifty-million dollar target on my back, I just dug my own grave.

  Besides, I have a few secrets of my own ...

  About the Author

  USA Today Bestselling Author Lacey Silks writes erotic and contemporary romances with a touch of suspense. Her stories come from her life, dreams and fantasies.

  Lacey likes to make her readers blush and experience the story as if they were the cha
racters. Drawing on the reader’s most sensitive emotions through realistic stories satisfies her more than… …ok not really, but you get the point ;)

  She likes a pinkish shade on a woman’s cheeks, men with large feet and sexy lingerie-especially when it’s torn off the body. Her favorite piece of clothing is a birthday suit.

  Acknowledgments

  Writing this section is always most difficult. I’ve repeated the same words in most books, because honestly, you’ll always thank your parents, friends, children, spouses, editors, cover designers etc... And of course – I do. I thank them all for their invaluable input, support, faith and encouragement.

  But I also want to say a few words about the fellow authors in my AA group (you know who you are). No, the AA has nothing to do with alcoholism ;) I’ve never met a better bunch of people from all over the world, who without judgement on where you are in your career, share their knowledge, provide support, and encourage, making this publishing journey an exciting adventure. I will be forever grateful to you all. I look forward each day to chatting with you and learning from you. You inspire me to keep my butt in the chair so that I write.

  To the LOL Ladies : you’re the funniest and most supportive chicks ever!

  To the Bimbos: I wouldn’t be where I am today without you.

  To my readers: I love your emails and adore your excitement. You make me want to write more. There’s nothing better than knowing you’ve enjoyed my work.

  To anyone who took a chance on my books – thank you!

  To my family, I could not do what I love without you. Mom, your go getter attitude has rubbed off on me. Dad, your humour is infectious. Mike, “all you need is love”. Maya and Alex, you are who I live for. You are my life.
