My Mind-Controlled MILF Book 3 of "Sex Magic"【電子書籍】[ Veronica Sloan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Ryan has a magic talisman that makes him irresistible to women. Just one touch, and their blood runs hot and their bodies crave a man. But even though Ryan could have any woman in the world, he only has eyes for his mother, a former pinup model, and her beautiful daughters! He knows it's wrong, but Ryan can't help using the power of the talisman to claim them, one by one, at the family cookout.</p> <p>~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~</p> <p>He raises his hand, and for a second I'm blinded. When the spots fade from my eyes, I see that it's a golden disc catching the last rays of the sun. The ruby in its center glows with a mesmerizing fire.</p> <p>"That is...gorgeous," I gasp. "Where did you get it?"</p> <p>"Nowhere very exotic," he says. "It's just a few miles from here, actually."</p> <p>"Can I hold it?" I ask. I feel like a child, but the urge to run my fingertips over its ornate surface is too compelling to ignore.</p> <p>"I want you to," says Ryan. "But here's the thing. If you touch it, you'll want me just as badly as I want you."</p> <p>I laugh again. I think the beer has definitely gone to my head. "Well how badly do you want me?"</p> <p>He arches his eyebrows. "I don't think you can handle that much honesty."</p> <p>This is a very strange, very obscene game we're playing. "I really want to touch it," I say. "What, is it, like, magic or something? Like voodoo?"</p> <p>"Not voodoo," he says. "But yes. It will make you want me."</p> <p>"You ply me with a few more beers and massages and you have no idea what I'll do," I say. I snatch it out of his fingers.</p> <p>It's hot! But before I can even register the pain, the flash is gone--no, not gone, but shooting up my arm. It slams into my heart and--and, I don't know what I feel… It's like liquid gold is melting down my ribcage and pooling in my panties. I give an involuntary gasp, and for a moment I think I'm going to faint.</p> <p>And then it's like ten-thousand tongues are licking me all at once.</p> <p>"Whoa," I say. My thumb skates over the warm metal. "This is...intense." The ruby is so bright, so succulent. It's like a neon strawberry. I have a bizarre urge to suck on it, to kiss it, fondle it. But, no, that would be weird. Very weird.</p> <p>I hand the amulet back to Ryan. He tucks it back into his jacket. I swallow hard and try to bring the world back into focus, but all its edges have gone soft. And I'm vibrating.</p> <p>I don't understand it. All I understand is that my heart is beating like a drum and my breasts are thudding in time. I reach out and brace myself against Ryan's shoulder, desperate to catch my breath. He catches me in his strong, sailor's hands, and a rush of warmth passes through his fingers and down my shoulders.</p> <p>"I feel dizzy," I say. "Take me outside."</p> <p>"We are outside."</p> <p>The first fireflies of the evening are winking at us from between the trees. "Take me more outside," I whisper.</p> <p>He doesn't say a word, he just nods and escorts me behind the shed. "No," I say (I'm almost panting now), "I need to be away from the house. Do you remember that clearing, just beyond the old treehouse?"</p> <p>"Yes," he says.</p> <p>"Take me there."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Cultures of the Countryside Art, Museum, Heritage, and Environment, 1970-2015【電子書籍】[ Veronica Sekules ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>Cultures of the Countryside</em> examines the relationship between the museum and the micro-cultures of the countryside. Offering an exploration of museums and heritage projects in the UK that have attempted to introduce new ways of engagement between localities, objects, and people, this book considers how museums, heritage initiatives, and art projects have dealt with pressing local and global socio-political issues relating to the environment and rural life, including changing demographics and rural practices, local environmental concerns, and global climate activism.</p> <p>Providing a thorough examination of the representation of competing histories, visions and politics, Sekules asks whether museums and heritage projects can engage actively in shaping cultures, as well as reflecting them. At the core of the analysis is an examination of the findings from a project in the UK’s East Anglia, ‘The Culture of the Countryside’, from which emerged themes closely bound to different countryside landscapes, peoples and heritage.</p> <p>Aimed at practitioners and students alike, <em>Cultures of the Countryside</em> provides a unique insight into the roles of the museum and heritage projects in rural and environmental issues in the recent past, whilst also offering perspectives and recommendations for the future.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Gardening the World Agency, Identity and the Ownership of Water【電子書籍】[ Veronica Strang ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Around the world, intensifying development and human demands for fresh water are placing unsustainable pressures on finite resources. Countries are waging war over transboundary rivers, and rural and urban communities are increasingly divided as irrigation demands compete with domestic desires. Marginal groups are losing access to water as powerful elites protect their own interests, and entire ecosystems are being severely degraded. These problems are particularly evident in Australia, with its industrialised economy and arid climate. Yet there have been relatively few attempts to examine the social and cultural complexities that underlie people's engagements with water. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in two major Australian river catchments (the Mitchell River in Cape York, and the Brisbane River in southeast Queensland), this book examines their major water using and managing groups: indigenous communities, farmers, industries, recreational and domestic water users, and environmental organisations. It explores the issues that shape their different beliefs, values and practices in relation to water, and considers the specifically cultural or sub-cultural meanings that they encode in their material surroundings. Through an analysis of each group's diverse efforts to 'garden the world', it provides insights into the complexities of human-environmental relationships.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Diary of a Hotwife Veterans Affairs【電子書籍】[ Veronica Sloan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>Leslie's husband loves that men want her. She's sweet and vivacious, sassy and sexy, and has the libido (and the body) of a nymph! Darren will gladly share his horny wife with any man she deems worthy, and right now she wants his best friend Bo. The handsome Texan has dealt with nonstop tragedy since being discharged from the military, losing both his sister and his job in short order. Gripped by depression, Bo is in dire need of cheering up. When the vet accepts Darren's offer to stay with them until he gets back on his feet, he has no idea what's in store. Leslie's going to show this soldier a very good time!</p> <p>This erotic tale is 17,000 words and for readers 18 and up.</p> <p>~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~</p> <p>I had the coffee ready for Darren before he headed off to work. When he joined Bo at the table I hung back in the corner to watch the two men play. They really were like brothers. There was the same intimacy, rivalry, dumb jokes, secret references. He didn't have long but he made the few minutes count.</p> <p>When he got up to leave he clapped the big man on his shoulder. "Bo, I just want to make one thing clear before I go--"</p> <p>"I know, I know," Bo chuckled, "keep my hands off your wife."</p> <p>Darren's grin was to die for. "Well, unless she asks you to."</p> <p>Bo was caught in a half-grin. His eyes quickly swiveled from his sergeant to me. "You know, comin' from the South, I'm a little slow," he said. "Can you run that by me one more time?"</p> <p>Darren just patted his arm. "Mi casa, tu casa. What's mine is yours." He rounded the kitchen to give me my kiss goodbye. "It's gonna be a long day, sweetie. Show him a good time?"</p> <p>I squeaked when he squeezed my bum. "Of course, dear," I said huskily. "I'll put a plate in the oven for when you get in."</p> <p>Darren stopped by Bo one more time just to make sure he got the message. "Whatever she says, she's got my blessing. She's the squad leader by proxy."</p> <p>Bo's perplexed expression followed my husband all the way out the door. "I think I'm missing something," he said.</p> <p>With a smooth flick of my finger I switched off the coffee pot. With a smooth, hip-swaying stroll I rounded the table. Smoothest of all, I slid into Bo's lap and draped my arms over his shoulders. "You were," I said. "Now you're not."</p> <p>His hand trembled as it pressed into my back. He felt me the way I felt for cobwebs in the garage, reluctantly, unsure if there was substance to be had or if the terrible thing was all in his imagination. "Leslie girl, I know you've been teasing me all morning but you gotta stop. It's been a long dry summer."</p> <p>I ran the edges of my nails along the fuzz of his earlobe. "Longer than that, I think. To hear Darren tell it, you've been celibate for at least a year."</p> <p>Bo sighed. "You tell each other everything, huh?"</p> <p>"Everything," I said. "He told me you might like this..." My nails bit into the back of his neck to draw him into a soft kiss. It was almost chaste, but my tongue slipped out at the very end to wet his handsome lips.</p> <p>His eyes were unfocused when we parted. His voice rumbled from his throat like low thunder. "What do you want?" he breathed.</p> <p>I pushed my nose into his neck to nuzzle him. "I want to make you feel good, honey."</p> <p>The big hand on my back spread over my spine. The other hand slipped softly over my naked thighs. "Oh, Leslie," he breathed. "Don't, girl. Don't tease me."</p> <p>"No teasing," I promised. My teeth sank into his bearded chin. "I wouldn't do that to you, Bo. He loves you, and he wants me to take care of you." I ran my palm down his solid abdominals. He was fragile beneath all those muscles but I knew if I pushed hard enough the monster would break free. "I can't fix you, honey, but I can help. I want to help. I want you to help me."</p> <p>"Les, are you sure?" Bo whispered. "You're his--"</p> <p>I rolled my thumb over his lips. "I am his," I said, "and he's loaning me to you. Do you want me?"</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Liberal-Labour Lady The Times and Life of Mary Ellen Spear Smith【電子書籍】[ Veronica Strong-Boag ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>A Liberal-Labour Lady</em> restores British Columbia’s first female MLA and the British Empire’s first female cabinet minister to history. An imperial settler, liberal-labour activist, and mainstream suffragist, Mary Ellen Smith (1863?1933) demanded a fair deal for “deserving” British women and men in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.</p> <p>Born in England in 1863, the daughter and wife of miners, she emigrated to Nanaimo, BC, in 1892. As she became a well-known suffragist and her husband Ralph won provincial and federal elections, the power couple strove to shift Liberal parties leftward to benefit women and workers, while still embracing global assumptions of British racial superiority and bourgeois feminism’s privileging of white women. Ralph’s 1917 death launched Mary Ellen as a candidate in a tumultuous 1918 Vancouver by-election. In the BC legislature until 1928, Smith campaigned for better wages, pensions, and greater justice, even as she endorsed anti-Asian, settler, and pro-eugenic policies. Simultaneously intrepid and flawed, Mary Ellen Smith is revealed to be a key figure in early Canada’s compromised struggle for greater justice.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Now, out of funds with the rent to pay and no possessions left to sell, she begs the goddess Hathor for help. With a new pharaoh taking the throne, surely something can be done…</p> <p>A powerful general in command of the army and best friend to Pharaoh, Marnamaret has everything a nobleman in Egypt could desire…except for true love. He refuses to settle for less. On a whim, he prays to Hathor to send him the woman of his dreams.</p> <p>Will the goddess answer these heartfelt petitions?

<p>It's the night before Emily's wedding. She should be thrilled. Instead, she's burning with guilty desire. Sean, her fiance's father, is a silver fox. Tall and dangerous, he's used to getting what he wants. Emily's helplessly attracted to this older man, and he knows exactly what to say to turn her on. She wants to resist, but her lust leads her astray. She likes being a bad girl, and her fiance’s too good to treat her like one. Tonight, the father is going to cuckold the son!</p> <p>~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~</p> <p>My bottom tingled. His voice was deep and commanding, and he had the charm of a serpent (with all that that entailed). "I told you I'm getting married," I said.</p> <p>"I saw the ring when I walked in."</p> <p>I smirked. "That tells me so much about you."</p> <p>"Oh?"</p> <p>"Yeah," I said. "You're just a dirty old man."</p> <p>"And you're looking for someone to give you a spanking."</p> <p>My sudden laugh was a way to relieve the pressure in my stomach. It was a way to hold him at arm's length while my cheeks betrayed me. I was blushing. No, I was flushing. If he could see under my clothes in that moment he'd know my skin was reddening all over. I felt the heat on my tummy, down my hips, and the steady pump of blood to my...</p> <p>When I didn't answer him, he took a step closer. "Am I wrong?"</p> <p>"I'm working," I whispered.</p> <p>"So am I." He dropped his book and pulled me into his arms. I couldn't resist his strength, nor could I muster the will to tell him no. When he wrapped me against his chest, my fingers pressed into his solid muscle (partially to verify he wasn't some figment of my oversexed imagination). He knew exactly what to say; he'd sensed my arousal immediately and skillfully prodded all my buttons. He was smooth but not slimy, confident but not cocky, graceful and sure in his movements as he was in his grooming. He was all class, and totally dangerous, and he proved that in his kiss. He didn't care that I was working, and he grabbed me to find out if I did either. His tongue was a tease, his lips firm and flavored with mint and Marlboros.</p> <p>"You want to get off right now?" he whispered into my chin.</p> <p>"I-I can't," I stammered.</p> <p>"You can," he said. "I'm giving you permission."</p> <p>"Oh God," I groaned, and braced myself for the second kiss. His big hand massaged my tender bottom while his arms folded me into an even tighter embrace. "Am I so obvious?"</p> <p>"You like a man who takes charge," he said. "I know you do."</p> <p>"You don't know anything about me," I whispered.</p> <p>"And you like that, too."</p> <p>It was insane. I'd never felt such instant attraction to a man in the flesh. David was handsome, and sweet, and that was why I'd let him take me to bed. I loved him, yes, but I'd grown to love him. This stranger, I didn't even know his name, but I was suddenly imagining him taking me in the alley behind the bookstore. I didn't love him - hell, I could never love a man like him, he was a red flag personified - but oh, how I wanted to use him. I wanted him to use me.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Daddy's Forbidden Desire - Volume 3 Book 3 of "Daddy's Forbidden Desire"【電子書籍】[ Veronica Sloan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Desperate to free himself of his daughter's temptations, Dale struggles with his insatiable lust. While Katie teases him with obscene phone calls, Dale loses focus at work. Margaret, Dale's sassy young secretary, knows her boss is having an affair and hates that it's distracting the powerful man she loves. To get his head back in the game, she offers herself to him instead. But the relief doesn't last. After Margaret leaves on vacation, Katie comes home to spend the night with Mom and Dad. Telling her mother that she's heartbroken over her boyfriend, Katie asks to sleep in her parents' bed. Now Dale is stuck between his wife and his daughter, and Katie says she can't sleep...</p> <p>~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~</p> <p>Katie's eyes batted up at him. "Do you remember what it feels like to break up with someone? When part of you is sad but part of you is horny and wondering?" She actually made her eyes water. "I'm just a little messed up. I'm sorry I teased you. Can't you feel a little bad for me?" she whispered. "Can't you feel for me, daddy?" As she spoke her eyes closed. She tilted her face up to his and pouted her mouth; and in the moonlight she was so soft, and vulnerable. How could he not?</p> <p>He reached up and caressed her cheek. "I'm sorry, honey," he said. "I didn't realize. But you're...it'll be okay."</p> <p>She gave a weak sob and he bent down to kiss her forehead. She raised her head and let his lips slide over her skin. The kiss slid down to her nose, paternally. She continued to raise her face and he lightly pecked her on the mouth. She didn't move that time but continued to sniffle, so he pecked her again. This time she parted her lips ever so slightly but didn't press against his. He placed his hand on her other cheek. "It'll be okay," he murmured. She stretched her neck for another kiss.</p> <p>"Will it, daddy?"</p> <p>This time when he kissed her she moved her lips with his. "Mmm," she murmured into his mouth. He didn't pull his face away this time and she opened her lips all the way and slipped her tongue into his mouth. He started to pull away but she sobbed again, as if on cue. Their next kiss was wet and she breathed into his mouth.</p> <p>Within him, his stomach churned with longing and despair. Instinctually, he wanted to protect her, and she'd made it clear that his kisses were showing her the attention and love she needed. But that wasn't the only instinct at work, and he needed her to stop pressing against him.</p> <p>He caressed her neck and she eased against his hand. She gave a whimper that forced him to take her hand from his arm and kiss it; it was the sound of her need. He kissed her fingers.</p> <p>"Daddy, I can feel you."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Seduced By The Sex Demon - Volume 1 Book 4 of "Sex Magic"【電子書籍】[ Veronica Sloan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>When a magic ritual goes wrong, meek Jeffrey Corven is possessed by an unstoppable sex demon. Feeding on human lust and looking for a devilishly good time, the demon sets out to seduce every woman in Jeffrey's life. Powerless to resist Jeff's hellish mind control, they are filled with only one desire: Total submission to his lust!</p> <p>~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~</p> <p>She slammed her palms on the table. "You've got some nerve, Corven!"</p> <p>"Mmm," he said, enjoying the taste of her fury.</p> <p>"You can take all the vacation days you want, you're not ever coming back here," she said. Oh, it felt good, it felt very good to say those words.</p> <p>"No, you're not firing me, Patricia," he said. His voice jabbed her in the gut like a harpoon. Every word that followed twisted it deeper into her body - not painfully; the harpoon was hot and serpentine, and it burrowed down to her womanhood. "In fact, you're going to give Jeffrey Corven a raise, a promotion, and stock options - since you all seem to value this invisible money so much. And you're going to give Jeff - me - two weeks off. You see, my wife's family is having a reunion upstate and she is insistent that we go."</p> <p>"Y-yes," said Patricia. Why had she said yes? She was going to call security. Wasn't she going to call security?</p> <p>"Mmm," said Jeff. "Tell me, what were your breasts like before your cosmetic surgery? Not A cups, surely. Were you not pleased with the Bs?"</p> <p>"I...I..."</p> <p>"I'd like to see them," said Jeff. "Back in those dark ages of ours women used bustiers, but of course that illusion dropped once the clothes did. Do they make you feel powerful, Patricia?"</p> <p>"Yes," she panted, reaching up to unbutton her blouse.</p> <p>"Very good," he said. "From the dawn of mankind to its very end, the breast will forever be the bane and blessing of the male existence. But of course you're not just in it for the men, are you, Patty?"</p> <p>"I..." How did he know?</p> <p>"You don't like admitting your taste in women? It's part of who you are."</p> <p>Her whole life she had suppressed that part of herself, that part that felt attraction for women as well as men. She thought it was weakness, but all of her sexual fantasies involved women, despite her professional desire for a strong, dominant man. As she unbuttoned her blouse, she questioned again why she allowed this madness to continue. She couldn't help herself. Just staring into Jeff's bright - and were they golden? - eyes made her lose all sense of propriety. Nervously, she glanced out the window that overlooked the entire office through half-slitted blinds.</p> <p>"If you'd like an audience, why don't we ask Miss Jacobs to join us?"</p> <p>The muscles in Patricia's arms seized up. Jasmine Jacobs was her secretary, a petite Puerto Rican girl in her early twenties. Many was the night Patricia had fantasized about grabbing the girl by her black ponytail and kissing her fulsome lips. "Jasmine?" she sputtered.</p> <p>"Oh yes," said Jeff. He cracked the door and gently called, "Miss Jacobs? Your superior would like to see you, please."</p> <p>Gathering a pen and a legal pad, Jasmine hurried from behind her desk and slid deftly through the open door. She squeaked when she saw Patricia and dropped the pen and pad on the carpet.</p> <p>Patricia had cast her blouse and coat aside and was standing behind her desk in her lacy black bra. "Ms. Cunningham!" Jasmine gasped. "W-what is the meaning of this?"</p> <p>"The meaning is secondary to the purpose," said Jeff, closing the door behind her. "And the purpose, is to get it on." He gently massaged the girl's shoulders. "Can you help Patricia with her bra, dear? It looks very tight."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Olwen the Barbarian vs. The Sorceress of Sappho: A Lesbian Fantasy【電子書籍】[ Veronica Sloan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Olwen the Barbarian is a ruthless warrior who offers her sword to only the highest bidder. When the Prince of Darthia is kidnapped by the sorceress Callista, his father begs Olwen to retrieve him. Little does he know, Olwen is intimately familiar with the Sorceress of Sappho. Once upon a time, the two were the dearest of lovers. Now the fiercest of enemies, their reunion promises a legendary battle...or perhaps a rekindling of their sapphic romance?</p> <p>~~~ Excerpt ~~~</p> <p>For what felt like the hundredth time in as many days, Olwen's strength failed her. The girl's hair slipped from her fingers and she fell back against the bundled wool that served as her pillow.</p> <p>"Oh," the sorceress murmured. "Are you in pain?"</p> <p>"Why couldn't you kill me?" Olwen rasped. "I...I cannot live with this shame."</p> <p>Callista's thumb skated beneath Olwen's blue eyes, wiping her tears away. "Is it really so hard as that? I've lived in shame most of my life. And look, I've managed to beat a barbarian into submission."</p> <p>"You did not beat me," Olwen said.</p> <p>"Shhh," the girl chided.</p> <p>"Do not silence me!"</p> <p>"I'm sorry," the girl laughed.</p> <p>"Kill me now," Olwen growled. "Kill me or I swear I shall have vengeance, not only for Viatrix but for this humiliation!"</p> <p>"Oh, trust me, a little humiliation works wonders. It's very motivating. I'm sure even a big mean barbarian can stand to be humbled now and again--especially when she faces a superior foe." Olwen struggled to rise from her bed but the sorceress easily pinned her to the straw. "Do not mistake me. There is a great beauty in your fearsomeness. I have never seen a woman such as you. But I believe few, if any, have seen you as I do now."</p> <p>Olwen thrust her head back against the wool, helpless and defeated. "I wasn't strong enough," she said. The words cut their way through the iron lump in her throat. "I...failed. I have never failed."</p> <p>Callista drew the barbarian's eyes to her bare thigh, and the poultice she'd applied to her jagged bite. "Is not life itself a victory?" she asked quietly. "I owe you mine."</p> <p>"Our debt is settled."</p> <p>"Not quite. I have nursed you, yes, but you still suffer."</p> <p>Olwen could not answer. Her rage burned into her sorrow until the emotions were inseparable. It gnawed at her insides like the fangs of a pig rat. She heard her father's words atop the Skuggi mountains. "If you should fall..." There was victory or nothing, that was the barbarian way. She fought desperately to block the next tears that bled from her eyes, and fought too the sob that wrenched from her throat. Despite the fire and the wool blanket, she shivered. Was the sorceress right? Did she suffer? Yes, she did. The defeat hurt worse than any wound.</p> <p>When she felt the girl's lips touch her own, the relief was too welcome to deny. Olwen closed her eyes into the kiss, and it was soft and warm, tentative but eager. Callista's thin fingers slid from Olwen's jaw to the space behind her ear, parting her lips in a reflexive moan and caressing her cautious tongue. Callista's tongue... When she withdrew, Olwen whimpered.</p> <p>"I have tended to you in this darkness for days," Callista whispered, "frightened that I was not skilled enough to save you. And now your eyes are open and I only want to soothe your pain." She bowed her head to kiss the cord of muscle in Olwen's throat. "And I have tended to this body of yours...and yearned."</p> <p>As Callista's fingers slipped down her wriggling stomach, Olwen seized her by the wrist. "What magic is this?" she breathed.</p> <p>"No magic," Callista said. "Why, do you feel better?"</p> <p>"A kiss cannot make me better."</p> <p>"Then I'm not doing it right." Callista's teeth bit into the barbarian's lip.</p> <p>Olwen's nerves were in such a state of chaos that even the brush of Callista's hair gave her a tingle. Her heart slammed fitfully against the bars of her ribcage. "But you are my enemy," she whispered.</p> <p>"Not now," Callista promised. Her hand disappeared beneath the blanket. "Not here."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Seduced By The Sex Demon - Volume 2 Book 5 of "Sex Magic"【電子書籍】[ Veronica Sloan ]

<p>Jeffrey Corven used to be a spineless sap of a man, until his wife summoned a sex demon and turned him into a force of nature! Now devilishly horny and with the power to control the minds of men and women, Jeff is on a quest to bang everyone he can get his hands on. This bawdy tale of blasphemy is as humorous as it is hardcore!</p> <p>~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~</p> <p>Jeff's hand rested gently on her thigh. "You don't have to tell me," he said. Instantly her stomach relaxed and she felt a river of warmth flood down her spine. It felt good. It felt very good.</p> <p>She swallowed around the lump in her throat. "No, I want to. I've - we've - had sex. And it was good. I've only been with him. But, like, he wants to do it...he wants us to try anal. He's done it before and I haven't, so I guess I'm just a little nervous?"</p> <p>"A little?" said Jeff. "Melanie, you're shivering like a leaf." He patted her thigh and returned his hand to the steering wheel. "So I imagine this trip to the pharmacy was just a ruse to get lubricant? Clever girl..."</p> <p>She giggled at the conspiratorial face he made. "No," she said. "I really am on my period. I got it just before we left. That's why Ryan said we should...you know. He doesn't like to do it when I'm-"</p> <p>Jeff shook his head. "Nothing wrong with parting the red sea, I always say. But I understand. Some men grow weak at the sight of blood, while others take strength from it. You, young creature, do you get the urge when your menses is flowing?"</p> <p>She flushed bright red. It was true; she always felt particularly horny in the latter days of her period.</p> <p>"No need for shame," said Jeff. "It's perfectly natural. But Ryan did ask you to buy lubricant, did he not?"</p> <p>Melanie shook her head. "He...he said we wouldn't need any."</p> <p>Jeff frowned. "Oh? And I suppose he isn't planning on using a condom."</p> <p>"Well, we didn't bring any..."</p> <p>"He didn't bring any, is what you mean."</p> <p>She shrugged. "I want to make him happy. I'm just nervous."</p> <p>Jeff exhaled compassionately. "Melanie, my dear, my heart goes out to you. I wish there was something I could do to ease your apprehension. I suppose I could, well...no."</p> <p>Melanie's legs tensed in anticipation. "What?"</p> <p>"No, no, no," he muttered, cranking the SUV into park. She was so wound up she hadn't even realized they'd arrived.</p> <p>"Please?" she said. "Oh, you've been so understanding. I want to know what you think."</p> <p>"Well..." said Jeff, scratching his head. "I have a fair bit of experience in...this particular area. I'd be happy to help you understand your body and the hygienic practicalities involved. But that might not be appropriate."</p> <p>"Oh..." said Melanie. The tension in her thighs rode up into her center with a tantalizing tingle. "Um. I guess so. But I'd...I'd really appreciate it?" Her heart hammered at her breasts as she considered what Uncle Jeff was asking. Her anal virginity. Was it appropriate? She wasn't sure. But her body was getting excited. Much more excited than she'd been when Ryan suggested it.</p> <p>Jeff shook his head. "I'd hate to make you uncomfortable, Melanie. Forget I mentioned it." He popped his door.</p> <p>"Wait!" She hadn't meant to scream.</p> <p>His eyes, scintillating and seductive, peered over his shoulder. "Yes...?"</p> <p>She chewed on her lip. "Uh...but...Aunt Eileen. Would she...mind?"</p> <p>"Why would she? I'd just explain a few things about your body, about the male body, and about the best way to enjoy anal intercourse. It would be an educational experience, not some torrid affair. Nothing shameful about that, is there?"</p> <p>When he put it like that, it seemed perfectly sensible. She had a vague feeling that Ryan might not agree, but she couldn't imagine why...</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Liberal Hearts and Coronets The Lives and Times of Ishbel Marjoribanks Gordon and John Campbell Gordon, the Aberdeens【電子書籍】[ Veronica Strong-Boag ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Scottish aristocrats John Campbell Gordon (1847?1934) and Ishbel Marjoribanks Gordon (1857?1939), known as the Aberdeens, rejected both revolution and reaction in their political careers. The aristocratic progressivism and egalitarian marriage of these fervent liberals confounded both contemporaries and historians. John, as viceroy of Ireland and governor-general of Canada, was a notable ally of feminists, workers, and Irish Home Rulers. Ishbel, his viceregal companion and the long-time president of the International Council of Women, was a liberal feminist and Home Ruler whose commitments stirred up even more controversy.</p> <p>Superbly written and informed by decades of research, <em>Liberal Hearts and Coronets</em> is the first biography to treat John Campbell Gordon as seriously as his better-known wife. Examining the Aberdeens’ remarkable careers as landlords, philanthropists, and international progressives, Veronica Strong-Boag casts the twilight of the British aristocracy in an entirely new light.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Paddling Her Own Canoe The Times and Texts of E. Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake)【電子書籍】[ Veronica Strong-Boag ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Frequently dismissed as a 'nature poet' and an 'Indian Princess' E. Pauline Johnson (1861-1913) was not only an accomplished thinker and writer but a contentious and passionate personality who 'talked back' to Euro-Canadian culture. <em>Paddling Her Own Canoe</em> is the only major scholarly study that examines Johnson's diverse roles as a First Nations champion, New Woman, serious writer and performer, and Canadian nationalist.</p> <p>A Native advocate of part-Mohawk ancestry, Johnson was also an independent, self-supporting, unmarried woman during the period of first-wave feminism. Her versatile writings range from extraordinarily erotic poetry to polemical statements about the rights of First Nations. Based on thorough research into archival and published sources, this volume probes the meaning of Johnson's energetic career and addresses the complexities of her social, racial, and cultural position. While situating Johnson in the context of turn-of-the-century Canada, the authors also use current feminist and post-colonial perspectives to reframe her contribution. Included is the first full chronology ever compiled of Johnson's writing.</p> <p>Pauline Johnson was an extraordinary woman who crossed the racial and gendered lines of her time, and thereby confounded Canadian society. This study reclaims both her writings and her larger significance.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

How many facets or dimensions does it have? How do we measure it? And how can it be developed in leaders and organizations? This book enhances our knowledge of learning agility, distilling and synthesizing scientific evidence with best practices and examining the construct through both practical and scientific lenses.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Love in the Start-Up Era A journey to discover the power of love on the entrepreneurial path【電子書籍】[ Veronica Scuotto ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>By spotting opportunities and falling in love, individuals undertake their entrepreneurial pathway. The business life<br /> of an entrepreneur occurs in a whirl of events and often love prevails over rationality. Generally speaking, from one<br /> side, love disrupts rationality, while from the other side, it lets us intensively understand situations.<br /> We firmly maintain that love generates a critical spirit in a business context.<br /> Thinking of the human side of a business, we seek to bring alive the meaning of love. Nowadays, we are experiencing<br /> the renaissance of love in different contexts: love for the planet; love for communities; love for children; love for<br /> human beings; and love for businesses.<br /> Love is recognised as an opposite term to rationality, but in this context, we consider love as a crucial element of<br /> the intellect. Love allows us to intensively experience situations. Without love, the intellect would collapse. Yet<br /> love and rationality (or intellect) are crucial elements of business life.<br /> We feel fully inspired to understand how love inhabits an organisational environment along with rationality. We<br /> thought that the dance of love between a woman and a man can be compared to the love nurtured within a business.<br /> When a man dates his special lover, he is a risk taker who makes an effort to invest time and money to achieve his goal. He persuades himself of the desirability of his woman by adopting creativity and positivity. He is passionate and resilient. He will never give up his lover if there is a strong commitment from both sides even if the future is uncertain. Moreover, timing is the most critical variable in this context; ‘when’ things are done is more important than ‘what’ is done. As this occurs in an<br /> entrepreneurial journey, an entrepreneur appears as a risk taker who is goal-oriented, creative, positive, passionate,<br /> resilient and committed.<br /> The entrepreneurial scenario is widely pushed to become more digital. In turn, this has designed the start-up era<br /> which embraces the gig-economy and industry 4.0 and comes after the knowledge economy. In particular, the<br /> gig-economy is characterised by entrepreneurial ideas developed through Internet-based platforms.<br /> It is considered a way out of worker precariousness. Industry 4.0, on the other hand, is based on business ideas realised<br /> by the use of artificial intelligence (e.g., drones, humanoids,<br /> chatbots, etc).<br /> In this context, we offer a collection of real business stories to explain the blend of love and business even if it can be<br /> risky, painful and uncertain. All stories relive an emotional path. Some of those are ‘solo’ entrepreneurs and others<br /> are couple entrepreneurs who started their journey while in love or ended their love while running the business; others co-founded the new venture with their partner. They are women and men, successful or not, certainly entrepreneurs<br /> from all around the world Do not expect a holistic view of the concept of love. Love has nuanced meanings. We seek to explore all of them. We invite you to carefully read our stories and let your spirit flow towards new entrepreneurial adventures along with your love partner. We firmly maintain that love generates a critical spirit in a business context.</p> <p>A beautiful and inspiring experiential journal from Veronica Scuotto and Nicola Farronato, with endorsements from Darin Bifani and Manlio del Giudice.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Confessions of a Naughty Invisible Man - Volume 3【電子書籍】[ Veronica Sloan ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Something is happening to Dr. Abner Beal. He's spent the last nine years developing a serum to turn soldiers invisible, and now he's finally done it. It was his life's work...but his life isn't over. For the first time in years, Abner's heart is overcome with emotion. He feels strange and vulnerable, and alone. When his wife decides to separate from him, he finds himself torn between two very different women: His seductive co-worker who wants him for his brain, and his daughter's best friend who wants him for his body. What is a naughty invisible man to do?</p> <p>~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~</p> <p>The defiant universe brought her running to her door just as I turned to mine. She saw me, pulled her earbuds, and jogged over the grass.</p> <p>"Good morning."That was a surprise. It wasn't "Mr. Beal" or "Professor," it was just "good morning." I pushed aside the ridiculous thought that I might have been on her mind."How far did you get this morning?" I asked.She grinned. "You wouldn't believe me."I wiped my neck with my wet shirt and leaned back, arms crossed, ready to disbelieve.Her eyes flitted, once, to my glistening chest, and returned to meet my gaze. "I got to the new mall."I had to laugh. The girl was no joker. She had run six miles to the construction site on the outskirts of downtown, and then back again."You must have been going easy on me the other night," I said. "I passed you earlier and I only made it half as far."She took the hem of her shirt and used it to wipe the sweat drops above her lip. Her body was flushed and wet, and the glimpse of her taut stomach pulled at the nerves in my core. I was overwhelmed by an intense desire to take her in my arms. This girl was no older than my daughter, and yet..."Where did you go?"I shook myself from my reverie. "Miles away," I murmured. "I mean, just to the quarry. More thinking than running this morning."She nodded. "I have those days."School was almost over, and soon she and Rebecca would be galavanting over town, searching for jobs and entertainment in the few weeks before they matriculated. "Any plans?" I asked, inwardly shocked. I was making small talk.She shrugged. The silence stretched, and her lingering gaze unnerved me. She had the slow, comfortable peace of a completed run in her eyes, and those eyes were searching me for answers."You seem more content than the last time I saw you," I said."Something happened to me."My heart skipped a beat.She pulled the tie out of her ponytail and languidly stretched her neck as she scooped her fingers through her wet hair. "It was strange, and sexy...and inappropriate."I stood rooted to my doorstep, dumbfounded by her frank confession. I licked my lips. "Amber--""You know, don't you?""I--""It's okay. I want you to know.""Why?""Because it helped me.""I don't know why--"She shook her head. "Maybe that's true. But you are 'exceedingly intelligent.' I think you can figure it out." And with a sly look in her eye and a graceful twist of her hips, she turned to go. "I'll be home all day, Mr. Beal. If Rebecca wants me."I watched her thighs bounce as she jogged back across the lawn. She'd said Rebecca, but the invitation sounded quite open.My heart hammered against my chest as I staggered up the stairs. I stripped off my shorts and shoes and threw myself into the shower. The hot water drenched my sticky skin, refreshing my body if not my mind.What did Amber know? How could she know? And yet, hadn't she said my name that night? I'd thought perhaps it was part of her fantasy, a naughty wish fulfillment, but that was naive. She said she knew my smell.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Cover art created by Bashko.</p> <p>~~~ Excerpt ~~~</p> <p>She lay upon the muddy shore, her eyes twinkling like the water. Green tears dripped from her cheeks and beaded slowly into her bosom. The sight of her took Dru's breath away.</p> <p>Her legs were long and bare, her feet untouched by the muck and mire that surrounded her. Her individual toes were topped by small, perfect toenails, unblemished and unbruised by the hard labor that discolored human skin. Her hands were buried in the mud, the green tendrils of her hair writhing over her face. Her body shook from the intensity of her sobs. Her curves jiggled. With every gasp, her large breasts rolled like jelly tarts. Her thighs rippled like the cesspool she was born in.</p> <p>He was a young man, and she was everything he'd dreamed of.</p> <p>His hand fell from his sword. He licked his lips, still tasted blood when he swallowed. And her slime. It was not poison, like the water of the bog, but reminiscent of pine and white water lilies. "Why are you crying?" he whispered. Her thick hair flew back from her face. Her big eyes grew bigger still. "I didn't know...that you cried," Dru said. "I don't know anything about this place," he added. "About anything."</p> <p>The slime girl hesitated at the water's edge, her wet eyes studying him intently. Would she slither back into the swamp? Would she attack? Dru didn't know. He could only stare at the beautiful thing, the naked body he craved to touch again. "You?" she said quietly.</p> <p>"I know I'm an idiot for coming back here," he said. "It's just...are you lonely?"</p> <p>Hand over hand, she crawled from the shore. Her knees flattened the cold mud and her toes dug ten round divots behind her. Cautiously, she climbed to her feet. Her nose was level with his chest but her hair rose higher, thicker, twisting like the tails of clear, wet snakes. Her green fingers touched his chest. Her big eyes stared up at him. "Are you lonely?" she asked.</p> <p>"Gods," he groaned. "I am. I am."</p> <p>"I am," she echoed, sliding her hands through his arms. He let his fingers slide down her wet backside, to the warm and bubbly posterior. She molded around him like jam, suctioning to him. Dru grunted in surprise, and the slime went up on her toes to kiss his open mouth.</p> <p>That taste, he thought. Nothing at all like the foulness that surrounded them. She was life itself. He did not know if she had a mind as he did, but he could feel the yearning in her trembling form. Her lips slimed down his neck, her tongue lapping at his nervous perspiration. Yes, she hungered for his moisture. Any moisture...</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
