Book excerpt: Adult read. Explicit age play erotic story. From the # 1Erotic Short Story Best Selling Author Jessie Carr. As the eldest of three girls Emily had been aware from an early age that she was To The Manor Born. She has been a good girl her entire life. Her grandmother has been her greatest influence, teaching her not only independence and right from wrong but above all how to be generous, compassionate and to follow her heart no matter the consequences. When her Grandmother dies she is left with the responsibility of her estate and businesses. She travels halfway across the country to take up her new position as the Lady of the manor. As well as the usual upheaval she finds herself embroiled in the politics of the local town, which with her grandmother's steel she handles well or so she thinks. As if life is not complicated enough she finds herself drawn to her handmaid, just this would be enough for her life to be ruined let alone the fact that her new intimate friend is black. Regardless of her grandmother's excellent preparation she is ill prepared for the journey ahead. TASTER: I feel and smell her sweet breath as her face comes right in front of mine then her dark brown lips touch my cheek, it’s the touch of a butterfly wing, she holds for a second and then pulls away. I gulp down air as she stands off the bed, I rub my eyes as if to clean the thoughts in my head. ‘Let's get you undressed and ready for bed Miss.” She says matter of fact. I stand up in front of her not daring to question my own actions, she tells me to turn around and I do, she puts her hands on my shoulders, she slides one hand under my hair and pulls it to the side draping it across my shoulder it hangs down over my right breast. I feel her lips again, this time on the back of my neck, not the delicate touch of before but still quite light, then my spine shivers, her hot wet tongue strokes thickly across my skin I can hardly breathe. Her hands drop to my side and onto my hips, 'tell me to stop' she dares I say nothing, knowing I should tell her to go away, but her touch is like nothing I’ve ever known, it has me frozen to the spot, needing it to last. She stands back and releases me. It's all I can do to stop myself from collapsing.
Download or read book Not To The Manor Born written by Donna Clementoni and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Donna Clementoni, mining the resources of history and hearsay, pens a portrait of her Italian-American relatives in poetic tribute to their immigration to America in search of a better life for their families. Their trials and tribulations are recounted in charming and colorful verse as they assimilate into their new land, move into its neighborhoods, fight in its wars and pursue the American Dream. They were not to the manor born. Intrinsically, they understood that there are those who lord over the land and those who labor. Immigrants from the Mezzogiorno, Italy's poorest region south of Rome, belonged to this less fortunate fraternity. These amazing pioneers, out of sheer desperation or fearless determination, charted the course for all their descendants to follow.

Download or read book The Manor Three Centuries at a Slave Plantation on Long Island written by Mac Griswold and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-07-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mac Griswold's The Manor is the biography of a uniquely American place that has endured through wars great and small, through fortunes won and lost, through histories bright and sinister—and of the family that has lived there since its founding as a Colonial New England slave plantation three and a half centuries ago. In 1984, the landscape historian Mac Griswold was rowing along a Long Island creek when she came upon a stately yellow house and a garden guarded by looming boxwoods. She instantly knew that boxwoods that large—twelve feet tall, fifteen feet wide—had to be hundreds of years old. So, as it happened, was the house: Sylvester Manor had been held in the same family for eleven generations. Formerly encompassing all of Shelter Island, New York, a pearl of 8,000 acres caught between the North and South Forks of Long Island, the manor had dwindled to 243 acres. Still, its hidden vault proved to be full of revelations and treasures, including the 1666 charter for the land, and correspondence from Thomas Jefferson. Most notable was the short and steep flight of steps the family had called the "slave staircase," which would provide clues to the extensive but little-known story of Northern slavery. Alongside a team of archaeologists, Griswold began a dig that would uncover a landscape bursting with stories. Based on years of archival and field research, as well as voyages to Africa, the West Indies, and Europe, The Manor is at once an investigation into forgotten lives and a sweeping drama that captures our history in all its richness and suffering. It is a monumental achievement.

Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for.

And when she learns that Brice is mixed up in questionable business with a stolen treasure, she fears she's about to end up directly in the path of everything she was trying to avoid.

Download or read book Ants Among Elephants written by Sujatha Gidla and published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like one in six people in India, Sujatha Gidla was born an untouchable. While most untouchables are illiterate, her family was educated by Canadian missionaries in the 1930s, making it possible for Gidla to attend elite schools and move to America at the age of twenty-six. It was only then that she saw how extraordinary -- and yet how typical -- her family history truly was. Her mother and uncles were born in the last days of British colonial rule. They grew up in a world marked by poverty and injustice, but also full of possibility. The Independence movement promised freedom. Yet for untouchables and other poor people, little changed. In rich, novelistic prose, Ants Among Elephants tells Gidla's extraordinary family story detailing her uncle's emergence as a poet and revolutionary and her mother's struggle for emancipation through education.

Book excerpt: “Venkatraman has never met a heavy theme she did not like....Borrowing elements of fable, it's told with a recurring sense of awe by a boy whom the world, for most of his life, has existed only in stories.”—New York Times Book Review The author of the award-winning The Bridge Home brings readers another gripping novel set in Chennai, India, featuring a boy who's unexpectedly released into the world after spending his whole life in jail with his mom. Kabir has been in jail since the day he was born, because his mom is serving time for a crime she didn't commit. He's never met his dad, so the only family he's got are their cellmates, and the only place he feels the least bit free is in the classroom, where his kind teacher regales him with stories of the wonders of the outside world. Then one day a new warden arrives and announces Kabir is too old to stay. He gets handed over to a long-lost "uncle" who unfortunately turns out to be a fraud, and intends to sell Kabir. So Kabir does the only thing he can--run away as fast as his legs will take him. How does a boy with nowhere to go and no connections make his way? Fortunately, he befriends Rani, another street kid, and she takes him under her wing. But plotting their next move is hard--and fraught with danger--in a world that cares little for homeless, low caste children. This is not the world Kabir dreamed of--but he's discovered he's not the type to give up. Kabir is ready to show the world that he--and his mother--deserve a place in it.
Download or read book The Late Scholar written by Jill Paton Walsh and published by Minotaur Books. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a dispute among the Fellows of St. Severin's College, Oxford University, reaches a stalemate, Lord Peter Wimsey discovers that as the Duke of Denver he is "the Visitor"—charged with the task of resolving the issue. It is time for Lord Peter and his detective novelist wife, Harriet, to revisit their beloved Oxford, where their long and literate courtship finally culminated in their engagement and marriage. At first, the dispute seems a simple difference of opinion about a valuable manuscript that some of the Fellows regard as nothing but an insurance liability, which should be sold to finance a speculative purchase of land. The voting is evenly balanced. The Warden would normally cast the deciding vote, but he has disappeared. And when several of the Fellows unexpectedly die as well, Lord Peter and Harriet set off on an investigation to uncover what is really going on at St. Severin's. With this return in The Late Scholar to the Oxford of Gaudy Night, which many readers regard as their favorite of Sayers's original series, Jill Paton Walsh at once revives the wit and brilliant plotting of the Golden Age of detective fiction.
