Manuel García: My Curious Brother-in-Law, Gebunden

Klappentext

Men who don't talk too much. Who smell of skin, sweat, and sand. Who brush against each other by accident and can't forget it. In Manuel García's stories, desire is a sudden jolt in everyday life, a spark that burns between real men-cops, bricklayers, soldiers, brothers-who aren't looking for love but end up finding themselves, flesh against flesh, at the exact point where risk begins.

In the story that gives the collection its title, Il Mio Cognato Curioso (My Curious Brother-in-Law), Alexandre is a policeman from Rio de Janeiro, married, discreet, disciplined. But a few days' vacation, a barbecue with friends, the wet body of a young brother-in-law brushing against his skin, are enough to shatter all his certainties. Between laughter and excuses, something ignites-a touch, a breath, a thought that can no longer be ignored.

The water slid down his back. Marcus laughed, turning slightly, and for a moment the world fell silent. Alexandre felt his body react, his skin remembering every millimeter of that collision in the pool. When later, in the van, the boy leaned against him with innocent naturalness, he realized it was no longer an accident. It was an invitation.

My Curious Brother-in-Law is a collection of pure male eroticism: direct, sensual, physical. Stories where men desire men with all the weight, fear, and hunger that comes with it. And when temptation knocks on the door, sometimes a single whisper is enough to never turn back.
