When She Is Strict As much as his mistress appreciates Richard's inviting, submissive body, his behavior can leave something to be desired. On a morning when Richard oversleeps and goes to his mistress later than expected, her interrogation reveals that he often touches himself after their sessions together when she has not allowed him release. His disobedience, his mistress informs him, reveals not only that he does not understand what it is to obey, but that he does not understand the great pleasure and gratitude that lie within true submission. But lest he worry, his mistress is here to instruct him. Hers to Punish When She Wants Mitchell has been meeting his domme irregularly for the better part of 3 months. He has never experienced anything as powerful, fulfilling, or seductive as his submission to the mysterious Mistress A. But their meetings are sporadic and he is desperate for more. Tormented by needs he never knew he had and which only Mistress A can satisfy, he searches the nearby residential areas until he glimpses her through an open window. He approaches the house, prepared to beg for more, only to uncover an unwelcome surprise and reap the penalties and pleasures of his disobedient arrival.

This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reader Advisory: These stories are for mature audiences only and feature intensely erotic situations, dominant women and submissive men, bdsm play, discipline, crops, spanking, humiliation, multiple partners, and public sex. All characters are 18 or older. Adam's first hours in his new mistress's house have been intense ones, but he knows they have only scratched the surface. Before he has done little more than catch his breath, it's time to meet the other submissives in the mistress's household and learn just exactly what he has gotten himself into. Far from being allowed to wade in slowly, Adam's initiation into this tight little community will mean getting tossed directly into the center of its many different flavors of discipline and power play. By the time his first morning has come to a close, he will have a lot more to think about than why there isn't a number on the mailbox. Lessons in Submission: The Second Trilogy follows Adam over the course of his week as a submissive in the house of femdom run by the mysterious leader of the Tunisia Society. What begins as a hesitant experiment in the world of forbidden pleasure quickly careens into something much more serious, and the promises that they would not become too attached begin to erode. In the heat of the moment – and the moments get very hot indeed – who can say what will become possible and what will remain unattainable fantasy? Excerpt I turned just enough to catch how Chris's face fell and reddened at the news. "I..." he began, but trailed off. "Up here." He drew a breath and stood. The legs of his chair made a scraping sound against the hardwood of the floor and he winced. "Here," Mistress repeated unsympathetically, pointing to a spot at the head of the table. Christopher moved into place on unsteady legs and then turned back to regard us - the audience of his humiliation and punishment - with that flushed face. He reddened very attractively, I noticed with slight envy. His cheeks took on a very soft glow and his eyes stayed very round as he watched Mistress. "Tell me," Mistress said to him as he stood at attention. "Tell what, Mistress?" he asked. "Why did you fail the inspection?" "I - I don't know, Mistress. I didn't know I had until you told me." "You know, Christopher, I don't really believe you." He looked at the ground, flustered and stammering. After a few seconds he fell silent and he closed his eyes. Mistress watched him coolly. Another moment ticked by and then he opened his eyes and raised them to meet hers.

Download or read book In the Time of the Butterflies written by Julia Alvarez and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, internationally bestselling author and literary icon Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies is "beautiful, heartbreaking and alive ... a lyrical work of historical fiction based on the story of the Mirabal sisters, revolutionary heroes who had opposed and fought against Trujillo." (Concepción de León, New York Times) Alvarez’s new novel, The Cemetery of Untold Stories, is coming April 2, 2024. Pre-order now! It is November 25, 1960, and three beautiful sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo’s dictatorship. It doesn’t have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from secret crushes to gunrunning, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo’s rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez’s imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage and love, and the human costs of political oppression. "Alvarez helped blaze the trail for Latina authors to break into the literary mainstream, with novels like In the Time of the Butterflies and How the García Girls Lost Their Accents winning praise from critics and gracing best-seller lists across the Americas."—Francisco Cantú, The New York Times Book Review "This Julia Alvarez classic is a must-read for anyone of Latinx descent." —Popsugar.com "A gorgeous and sensitive novel . . . A compelling story of courage, patriotism and familial devotion." —People "Shimmering . . . Valuable and necessary." —Los Angeles Times "A magnificent treasure for all cultures and all time.” —St. Petersburg Times "Alvarez does a remarkable job illustrating the ruinous effect the 30-year dictatorship had on the Dominican Republic and the very real human cost it entailed."—Cosmopolitan.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 6 million copies sold! The classic Christian novel of the crucifixion and one Roman soldier’s transformation through faith. At the height of his popularity, Lloyd C. Douglas was receiving an average of one hundred letters a week from fans. One of those fans, a department store clerk in Ohio named Hazel McCann, wrote to Douglas asking what he thought had happened to Christ’s garments after the crucifixion. Douglas immediately began working on The Robe, sending each chapter to Hazel as he finished it. It is to her that Douglas dedicated this book. A Roman soldier wins Christ’s robe as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene—a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity. Here is the fascinating story of this young Roman soldier, Marcellus, who was in charge at the crucifixion of Jesus. After he won Christ’s robe in a game of dice on Calvary, he experienced a slow and overpowering change in his life. Through the pages of this great book, the reader sees how a pagan Roman was eventually converted to Christ. Set against the vividly drawn background of ancient Rome, this is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Is the financial plan of mediocrity -- a dream-stealing, soul-sucking dogma known as "The Slowlane" your plan for creating wealth? You know how it goes; it sounds a lil something like this: "Go to school, get a good job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy a used car, cancel the movie channels, quit drinking expensive Starbucks mocha lattes, save and penny-pinch your life away, trust your life-savings to the stock market, and one day, when you are oh, say, 65 years old, you can retire rich." The mainstream financial gurus have sold you blindly down the river to a great financial gamble: You've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by recklessly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. This impotent financial gamble dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair -- sacrifice your adult life for a financial plan that reaps dividends in the twilight of life. Accept the Slowlane as your blueprint for wealth and your financial future will blow carelessly asunder on a sailboat of HOPE: HOPE you can find a job and keep it, HOPE the stock market doesn't tank, HOPE the economy rebounds, HOPE, HOPE, and HOPE. Do you really want HOPE to be the centerpiece for your family's financial plan? Drive the Slowlane road and you will find your life deteriorate into a miserable exhibition about what you cannot do, versus what you can. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less" and a slight chance of elderly riches, there is an alternative; an expressway to extraordinary wealth that can burn a trail to financial independence faster than any road out there. Why jobs, 401(k)s, mutual funds, and 40-years of mindless frugality will never make you rich young. Why most entrepreneurs fail and how to immediately put the odds in your favor. The real law of wealth: Leverage this and wealth has no choice but to be magnetized to you. The leading cause of poorness: Change this and you change everything. How the rich really get rich - and no, it has nothing to do with a paycheck or a 401K match. Why the guru's grand deity - compound interest - is an impotent wealth accelerator. Why the guru myth of "do what you love" will most likely keep you poor, not rich. And 250+ more poverty busting distinctions... Demand the Fastlane, an alternative road-to-wealth; one that actually ignites dreams and creates millionaires young, not old. Change lanes and find your explosive wealth accelerator. Hit the Fastlane, crack the code to wealth, and find out how to live rich for a lifetime.

She had scraped together what previous generations of trans women could only dream of: a life of mundane, bourgeois comforts. The only thing missing was a child. But then her girlfriend, Amy, detransitioned and became Ames, and everything fell apart. Now Reese is caught in a self-destructive pattern: avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men. Ames isn't happy either. He thought detransitioning to live as a man would make life easier, but that decision cost him his relationship with Reese—and losing her meant losing his only family. Even though their romance is over, he longs to find a way back to her. When Ames's boss and lover, Katrina, reveals that she's pregnant with his baby—and that she's not sure whether she wants to keep it—Ames wonders if this is the chance he's been waiting for. Could the three of them form some kind of unconventional family—and raise the baby together? This provocative debut is about what happens at the emotional, messy, vulnerable corners of womanhood that platitudes and good intentions can't reach. Torrey Peters brilliantly and fearlessly navigates the most dangerous taboos around gender, sex, and relationships, gifting us a thrillingly original, witty, and deeply moving novel.

Download or read book The Chronicles of Gynarchia Part 2 written by Simon Purcell and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-06 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gynarchia, Ladies command and males obey. It has been the case for centuries.Icarus, a semi-free male from New Madrid, is arrested for a minor offense and sentenced to two months of judicial training by a mandated Educator.Lucky for the young male, his mandated Educator is none other than Mistress Flor, a lovely young Lady met the previous night, and that had given him her personal number for a future date.The lovely but very strict Educator, Mistress Flor, will train Icarus severely for their shared pleasure.In the meantime, Gynarchia is undergoing a troublesome political change. Lady Isabella, the worst extremist in the Authoritarian Movement, has managed to get elected Supreme Gynarch through plots, subversion and manipulations.In a twist of fate, only Mistress Flor, a simple Citizen and her submissive Icarus, a mere male subject, can now stop the despot to be and save Gynarchia. Can they succeedExtract:"Excited, Flor took a couple of seconds to admire Icarus's restrained body that she had immobilized in the pillory.Her poor little submissive was defenseless, at her mercy. She saw him struggle slightly in his bindings, trying unsuccessfully to bring his legs together in spite of the spreader bar that kept them apart. The poor boy probably had to pee pretty bad!Excited, Flor bit her lower lip while enjoying the show. She particularly liked the red, already striped backside of the young man. Her own lower belly was sending her enjoyable tingles.But she had to hold on. That very night, she wanted them to share, for the first time ever, that carnal pleasure. She wanted them to liberate their orgasms together, at the same time.She knew the young submissive locked in the pillory would not last very long, given his lengthy time in chastity. But, because of her own frustration and long-contained excitement, Flor would not need a lot of stimulation to climb to heaven. In fact, a mere caress, not even that, a mere thought could send the poor Flor overboard.She and Icarus would offer their shared orgasm as a tribute to the Goddess, a form of gratitude for these moments of peace and the joy of being reunited.For now, Flor took some deep, long breaths to calm the fire within her. She first had to take care of the docile Icarus.She went to put on a support-belt for the similipenis she had selected. She preferred putting on a belt rather than panties, as she feared the panties would send far too pleasurable vibrations to her private parts as she raped her submissive. Anything could nudge her over the edge. She did not dare risk it.She put on the belt right above her own smooth, naked pubic area and admired the object that was coming to life, hardening in front of her. Thus equipped, she was more "virile" than any male, especially than her little submissive locked in the chasticape. Flor liked putting on these kinds of attributes. With the appendage proudly pointing forward, she felt powerful, indestructible."
