Menage: De chica buena a chica mala
by Kathleen Hope—No pienses, Scarlett —interrumpió Lucas, dando un último paso para acabar con la distancia que los separaba. Esperó un momento, probablemente para ver si se apartaba de él, pero Scarlett estaba anclada al suelo. En ese momento, pensó que no conseguiría mover las piernas ni aunque su vida dependiera de ello. Estaba harta de ser la chica buena. Eso era justo lo que quería, ¿no? ¿Algo salvaje y lascivo? Sin embargo, cuando Lucas inclinó la cabeza hacia la suya y sus brazos la envolvieron, experimentó un momento de pánico. “Pero, ¿qué estoy haciendo?” se preguntó a sí misma, incrédula. Pero entonces, los labios de Lucas tocaron los suyos en un beso suave y sensual. Su cuerpo quería más e intentó obligar a la parte lógica de su cerebro a callarse mientras abría la boca para Lucas. Se abrazó a su cuello mientras él exploraba su boca con la lengua. “No pienses, Scarlett” las palabras de Lucas resonaban en su cabeza. “Hazlo y ya está. Tienes a un tío increíblemente sexy pegado a tu cuerpo… no pienses”, se repetía a sí misma. Por una vez en la vida, no le apetecía pensarse las cosas.
Menage: Rodeo Nocturno
by Kathleen Hope Anggena"Todavía no lo sabes, ¿verdad?" Los ojos de Michael se encontraron con los de ella, su mirada ardiente buscando la respuesta. "¿No sabes qué?", Respondió Julia. Pero mientras hablaba, la mano de Michael llegó a la parte superior de su muslo y él se quedó allí. Julia no estaba segura de lo que la poseía en ese momento, pero no se apartó. En cambio, extendió los muslos ligeramente, lo suficiente como para hacerle saber a Michael que no quería que se detuviera. Nunca había sido tan valiente en su vida, alentando a un casi desconocido como este en medio de un campo vacío. Pero ella había pasado casi cada minuto desde que había llegado a casa ardiendo, frustradamente excitada, y su cuerpo no iba a dejar pasar la oportunidad de quitarle el borde. Ella no pudo evitarlo. Michael se quedó quieto, y ella la separó ...
Menage: La brava ragazza diventa cattiva
by Kathleen Hope Letizia Baiardi"Non pensare, Scarlett" le disse compiendo l'ultimo passo per colmare la distanza tra di loro. Attese un istante, probabilmente per vedere se si sarebbe allontanata da lui, ma lei rimase immobile al suo posto. Pensava che non sarebbe riuscita a far muovere le sue gambe neppure se la sua vita fosse dipesa da quello. Era così stanca di essere la brava ragazza. Questo era ciò che voleva, no? Libera e selvaggia? Ma nel momento in cui la testa di lui si abbassò verso di lei e le sue braccia avvolsero il suo corpo, lei sperimentò un momento di panico. “Che sto facendo?” pensò incredula, ma le labbra di Lucas si posarono sulle sue baciandola sensualmente. Il suo corpo voleva di più e provò a spingere la sua mente razionale in secondo piano mentre apriva la sua bocca, accogliendolo al suo interno, la lingua di lui esplorava alla ricerca di quella di lei. “Non pensare Scarlett” ripeté tra sé e sé l’affermazione di Lucas “Fallo e basta. Hai un uomo incredibilmente sexy premuto contro di te… Non pensare.” Per una volta non voleva..."
Ménage: Não Sou Mais Uma Boa Garota
by Kathleen Hope“Não pense, Scarlett,” ele disse enquanto dava o passo final para cruzar a distância entre eles. Ele esperou um momento, provavelmente para ver se ela recuaria, mas ela ficou firmada no lugar. Ela não conseguiria fazer as pernas se mexerem agora nem se quisesse. Já estava cansada de ser a boa garota. Era isso o que ela queria, não era? Selvagem e irresponsável? Mas quando a cabeça dele veio em sua direção e ele a envolveu com os braços, ela experienciou um momento de pânico. “O que estou fazendo?” ela pensou, sem acreditar no que estava acontecendo. Mas então, os lábios de Lucas estavam nos dela e ele a beijou gentilmente, como que provocando. O corpo dela queria mais e ela tentou forçar a parte lógica de seu cérebro para o fundo enquanto abria a boca para ele, o recebendo de bom grado. Ela envolveu o seu pescoço com os braços quando ele aceitou o convite, invadindo a boca dela com a língua. “Não pense, Scarlett,” ela lembrou do que o Lucas havia dito antes. “Apenas faça. Você tem um cara incrivelmente gostoso aqui… não pense,” ela entoou em sua mente. Pela primeira vez, ela não queria pensar muito...
Ménage: Rodeo Notturno
by Kathleen Hope“Ancora non lo sai, vero?” Gli occhi di Michael incrociarono i suoi, lo sguardo focoso di lui era in cerca di risposte. “Non so cosa?” rispose Julia. Ma mentre lei parlava, la mano di Michael raggiunse la parte alta della sua coscia e vi aleggiò sopra. Julia non era sicura di cosa le fosse preso in quel momento, ma non si sottrasse. Anzi, allargò leggermente le cosce – quel tanto che bastava per far capire a Michael che non voleva che lui si fermasse. Non era mai stata così audace in vita sua, incoraggiando un quasi estraneo come quello nel mezzo di un campo vuoto. Ma da quando era arrivata a casa, aveva trascorso pressoché ogni minuto in stato di eccitazione, arrapata in maniera frustrante, e il suo corpo non voleva lasciarsi sfuggire l’opportunità di avere un po’ di sollievo. Non poteva farne a meno. Michael rimase immobile e lei allargò…

The Mercy Seat
by Rilla AskewFew first novels garner the kind of powerful praise awarded this epic story that takes place on the dusty, remorseless Oklahoma frontier, where two brothers are deadlocked in a furious rivalry. Fayette is an enterprising schemer hoping to cash in on his brother's talents as a gunsmith. John, determined not to repeat the crime that forced both families to flee their Kentucky homes, doggedly follows his tenacious brother west, while he watches his own family disintegrate. Wondrously told through the wary eyes of John's ten-year-old daughter, Mattie, whose gift of premonition proves to be both a blessing and a curse, The Mercy Seat resounds with the rhythms of the Old Testament even as it explores the mysteries of the Native American spirit world. Sharing Faulkner's understanding of the inescapable pull of family and history, and Cormac McCarthy's appreciation of the stark beauty of the American wilderness, Rilla Askew imbues this momentous work with her tremendous energy and emotional range. It is an extraordinary novel from a prodigious new talent. Strange Business, a collection of linked stories that won the 1993 Oklahoma Book Award, is available from Penguin. .
