Romantikk og erotikk

Vier Buchstaben, sechs Konzepte... Die Abkürzung steht für die Anfangsbuchstaben der englischen Begriffe "Bondage und Disziplin", "Dominanz und Unterwerfung", "Sadismus und Masochismus". Diese umfassen verschiedene sexuelle Praktiken, die miteinander verbunden sind und von vielen als unkonventionell angesehen werden. Von außen betrachtet sind BDSM-Aktivitäten aufgrund ihrer vermeintlichen Intensität für viele schwer nachvollziehbar und mit Vorurteilen behaftet, da sie nicht dem traditionellen Bild von liebevoller Sexualität entsprechen. Tatsächlich geht es beim BDSM weit über die bloße Anwendung von körperlicher oder psychischer Gewalt sowie das Zufügen von Schmerzen hinaus. Im Gegenteil erfordert diese Art von Erotik eine tiefe Verbindung und ein hohes Maß an Verständnis zwischen den Beteiligten.Bei Devianz geht es um Personen, die sich bewusst und freiwillig aus einer Position der Gleichberechtigung in ein Ungleichgewicht der Macht begeben, aus dem alle Beteiligten Lust und Befriedigung ziehen. Die Einwilligung zu einem solchen Spiel kann nur von Personen gegeben werden, die die Konsequenzen ihrer Zustimmung angemessen einschätzen können. Daher empfehlen wir jeder Person und jedem, der sich mit BDSM beschäftigt, sich umfassend zu informieren.

"I won't give up on us, Barbara. Not today, not tomorrow, not with my last breath."Barbara Baines Allen has finally gotten the life she wants--a great job, a comfortable home in southern California, and friends she can count on. Her classes on familicide and family dynamics are always full, and she's confident she'll move up to Associate Professor in two or three years. The only fly in the ointment is her occasional court appearances as an expert witness in indigenous familicide. One case brings her into the orbit of an annoyed FBI agent who doesn't appreciate her torpedoing two of his cases. Her superior takes a more tolerant view and a second look at Barbara. Later, on the run from the Mexican mafia and rogue FBI agents, Barbara faces a hard truth. Sometimes, you can't control everything. Maybe you can never control anything.

"I bought a gold claim, and I'm leaving town tomorrow."Faith Paulsen gaped at her fiancé in shock, lost for words for several seconds. "When will you return?" she asked when she finally found her voice."I have no plans to come back to Cedar Springs. I always told you I wouldn't be a clerk in your father's mercantile forever. And since you refuse to elope with me..." He shrugged, as though that said it all.While Faith had intended to spend her life with Zeke Mason, her father had never approved of the match. She'd been certain he would come around, however. That she and Zeke would be able to convince him to give his consent to their union.Although, Faith was the one who had made most of the effort to talk him around. Zeke had worked much harder at trying to convince Faith to elope than trying to persuade the older man to give his blessing to their marriage.Maybe that was part of the reason why her father had never approved.Not that it mattered now, as Faith watched her former fiancé walk out of her life without a backward glance.He hadn't even promised to write, or to come back for her if he made his fortune. For an instant before he turned to leave, she had foolishly imagined that he'd purchased the gold claim as a way to show Faith's father he could provide for her.What am I to do now, Lord?

The thrill of leaning forward into the half-dark and stealing a kiss when there were so many chances of getting caught felt almost as good as the kiss itself, Robert thought. Almost. As he broke away from Morgan, he wondered for a moment if she was going to react poorly - maybe he had misread her - but she didn't. She stayed still for a second, and then they both moved away from one another as they heard someone moving inside, near the porch door. No-one came through it, but the moment was effectively broken. Robert headed past Morgan, back through the house, and bade farewell to the Sullivans with an air of total innocence. The rush that had accompanied his sudden move toward Morgan, and the feeling of dizziness that came when he had felt her kiss him back, followed Robert at least half-way home. But no further. Because as his heart started to slow once more, he found himself thinking that Morgan had better not assume he was going to hang about like a lovesick schoolboy - or worse, try to pursue her. He also hoped that she did not feel the need to confess their moment to her fiancé, who would be able to make life very difficult for Robert. Though if this was the way Morgan behaved around Robert, presumably this Geoff fellow was also taking a free and easy approach to his engagement. These high society types often did, Robert knew. Morgan had made it clear she wanted nothing from him besides what he had just given to her. And why would she want anything from him? What was there to want that he could give?

Rain drove relentlessly outside, a cruel foreshadow to what was yet to come and simultaneously, what had passed...Bran would have enjoyed this, Flora thought wistfully, staring out the window of the cabin and into the storm. It was the tail end of summer, the days still quite warm but the evenings hinting of what was ahead in only a few short weeks...The cursed winter which inevitably brought nothing but strife to the Kinrade family. Every year, a member seemed to die in the bitter cold until there was no one left to remember what anguish the season caused...Bran is gone. Everyone is gone now, claimed by the merciless mountains. I will not befall the same fate. My family would not want this for me. They did not want this for themselves...A strand of thick, red hair fell from the loose braid at the base of her neck, covering a blue-grey eye but Flora did not bother to brush it aside or straighten her appearance. What was the point? There was no one there but the lone hound who, too, had lost his companion in the relentless winter, nearly at the same time that Bran had passed. Would she ever find anyone to love again?
