He was too surprised to draw back and when he tried, she had already placed her unexpectedly strong arms around his neck and he lacked the strength to pry them away. In fact, he felt strangely helpless, like it was someone else who acted instead of him, as he kissed her back. His hands involuntarily reached her waist and pulled her closer.” - From the short story “View of a cemetery” “This, this is not really happening, is it?” Agnes whispered, breathless as Catherine started to undo her corset. “No, of course it is not,” Catherine agreed, suppressing a small moan of delight as she pulled down the upper part of the linen undergarment and very attentively and experimentally kissed Agnes’ soft round breasts. - From the short story “Wildflowers” “No, no, none of that…” he said teasingly, but reluctantly, as he moved her hands away. “Not yet,” he added and smiled roguish at her disappointed sigh. I stayed petrified in front of the window as the scene continued before me. I felt feverish and out of breath myself, wishing with all my heart that someone would make love to me like that, but also keenly aware of that I was watching something entirely private and that it was both wicked and wrong of me to stay and look. - From the short story “Booklover” Product details: #9 on the Top 10 list of Victorian Erotica Romance (Amazon US) #86 on the Top 100 list of Erotica Fiction (Amazon UK) Category: Victorian Romance and Erotica Format: Kindle eBook Written and published: 2011 Length: ~ 20800 words (each story is short and sweet ~2500 words) Proofread by Nicolas Ambrose Publisher: My Secret Quill About the author: Lady T.

Download or read book Victorian Needlework written by Kathryn Ledbetter and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marrying two exceptionally popular topics—needlework and women's history—this book provides an authoritative yet entertaining discussion of the diversity and importance of needlework in Victorian women's lives. Victorian Needlework explores these ubiquitous pastimes—their practice and their meaning in women's lives. Covering the period from 1837–1901, the book looks specifically at the crafts themselves examining quilting, embroidery, crochet, knitting, and more. It discusses required skills and the techniques women used as well as the technological innovations that influenced needlework during this period of rapid industrialization. This book is unique in its comprehensive treatment of the topic ranging across class, time, and technique. Readers will learn what needlework meant to "ladies," for whom it was a hobby reflecting refinement and femininity, and discover what such skills could mean as a "suitable" way for a woman to make a living, often through grueling labor. Such insights are illustrated throughout with examples from women's periodicals, needlework guides, pattern books, and personal memoirs that bring the period to life for the modern reader.
