Tied To You (A Bondage and Dominance Romance Short)


L.J. Anderson - 2012
    Excerpt:With a single finger, he traced the curve of her neck, the shell of her ear, and her slightly fuller bottom lip. At an agonizing pace, he teased her, sliding his finger from her lips straight down, against her neck, between her breasts, and over her stomach till he could feel the rough lace of her panties brushing against his fingertips.With skilled hands, he parted her thighs, opening her till he could see the soaked, satin-covered lips of her pussy. Robert could almost taste the intoxicating heat radiating from between her smooth legs, making his mouth water and his cock become impossibly hard at the memory of her singular flavor dancing on his tongue, sinfully enticing him more and more till he could do nothing but helplessly lap at the source. Just knowing how good she tasted, how good she could make him feel, it was agony being so close, yet still so far. No one, nothing, had ever felt as good as Gabriella – as tight."You're so wet, kitten. Does it turn you on – being naked out here in the open air?""Yes, sir," she whispered quietly, her bottom lip tugging at her teeth. It took every ounce of restraint he possessed not to push her against a tree and fuck her till his thick cum ran down her supple thighs.

The Plausibility Problem


Ed Shaw - 2015
    But is it realistic? Isn't it unrealistic and unfair to those who struggle with this issue? Doesn't it condemn them to loneliness, a lack of fulfilment and the loss of basic human satisfactions like sex and marriage? Is what the church teaches a plausible way of life?Ed Shaw experiences same-sex attraction, and yet he is committed to what the Bible says and what the church has always taught about marriage and sex. In this honest book, he shares his pain in dealing with these issues - but, at the same time, shows us that obedience to Jesus is ultimately the only way to experience life to the full.He shows that the Bible's teaching seems unreasonable not because of its difficulties, but because of missteps that the church has often taken in its understanding of the Christian life. We have been shaped by the world around us, and urgently need to re-examine the values that drive our discipleship. Only by doing this in the light of the Bible, can we make sense of its call on the lives of those who are attracted to their own sex.We have so often made Jesus' way sound like a bad deal. Only by reclaiming the reality of gospel discipleship, can we truly see and appreciate that life in Christ is the best way for any human life to be lived - whomever we are attracted to

The Advanced Genius Theory: Are They Out of Their Minds or Ahead of Their Time?


Jason Hartley - 2010
    From those fast-food ruminations, however, grew a great hypothesis, perhaps best expressed by Chuck Klosterman, who wrote the foreword for this book; "When a genius does something that appears idiotic, it does not necessarily mean he suddenly sucks. What it might mean is that he's doing something you cannot understand, because he has Advanced beyond you." With that insight, you can take the great leap forward into this provocative and (let's admit it) extremely entertaining paperback original. Editor's recommendation.

A Place Apart


Dervla Murphy - 1979
    She also sought to interrogate her own opinions and emotions. As an Irishwoman and traveller who had only ever spent thirty-six hours of her forty-four years over the border to the north, why had she been so reluctant to engage with the issues? Despite her own family connections to the IRA, she travelled north largely unfettered by sectarian loyalties. Armed instead with an indefatigable curiosity, a fine ear for anecdote, an ability to stand her own at the bar and a penetrating intelligence, she navigated her way through horrifying situations, and sometimes found herself among people stiff with hate and grief. But equally, she discovered an unquenchable thirst for life and peace, a spirit that refused to die.

Harold R. Johnson - 2015
    In the thriving city of La Ronge, George Taylor and Lenore Hanson are lawyers who rarely interact with members of the lower classes from the impoverished suburb of Regis and the independently thriving Ashram outside the city. They live in a world of personalized Platforms, self-driving cars, and cutting edge Organic Recreational Vehicles (ORVs), where gamers need never leave their virtual realities.When Lenore befriends political dissenter and fellow war veteran Richard Warner, and George accidentally crash-lands his ORV near the mountain-sheltered haven of a First Nations community, they become exposed to new ways of thinking. As the lives of these near-strangers become intertwined, each is forced to confront the past before their relationships and lives unravel.Taking its title from the Latin name for the Trickster bird of First Nations, Norse, and Christian mythologies, Corvus examines the illusions of security we build through technology and presents a scathing satire of a world caught up in climate change denial and the glorification of war.
