    Are you going to be a good little girl, and do as you're told to save your life, and the lives of your friends? Cassie nodded quickly. She felt horrible that she had brought this man into their lives, if she could help it, she'd do anything she could to save their lives. "Well, since you are the one who invited me in here, telling me that your friends wouldn't mind if I spent the night, I guess we'll start with you!" Cassie shook her head back and forth in protest, as Billy grabbed her by the panty hose she was tied up with, and yanked her up. He turned her around, and faced her so that she was facing Kristen and Ally. He pulled out his big hunting knife. "When I ask you a question, just give me a nod of your head, yes or no. You are not a virgin are you?" Cassie thought telling him yes, hoping maybe that would deter him from raping her. Then she remembered they had talked about this on their date. Their date, it seemed like it happened years ago, but in reality, had only happened a few hours ago. He had asked her how many men she had been with. She lied and told him 4. Truth was, she had been with well over a dozen. Slowly, she shook her head no. She felt the knife now, rubbing up and down her calves. A cold shiver ran down her body, as he continued to run the knife up her leg, past her thigh. She heard a sudden tear, as the knife slashed through her skirt. The black thongs she had on were pulled tight, before those too were cut off. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Elizabeth Meadows.

    No child should ever be a soldier.Jon Moore knew that better than most, having learned to fight to survive before he’d hit puberty. So when a former comrade, Alissa Lim, asks for his help in rescuing a group of children pressed into service by rebels on a planet no one cares to save, he agrees. Only later does he realize he’s signed up to do far more than he’d ever imagined. Jon’s commitment hurtles him and Lobo, the hyper-intelligent assault vehicle who is his only real friend, into confrontations with the horrors the children have experienced and with a dark chapter from his past. The mission grows ever more complicated as they deal with: An assault on a rebel fortress deep in the jungle A government whose full agenda is never clear A woman Jon once loved and who still loves him - but who will sacrifice anything for her cause The best con man they’ve ever known And, toughest of all, their own demons, as we learn for the first time what happened after his home planet’s government yanked Jon’s sister out of his life. Jon and Lobo rush straight into the darkness at the heart of humanity to save a group of child soldiers - and then face an even tougher challenge: When we’ve trained our children to kill, what do we do with them when the fighting is over?Because the plight of these children is so near to the author, he is donating 100% of his hardback proceeds (including his advance) to a non-profit that helps to reintegrate children soldiers in the Congo. For every hardback book that sells, Falling Whistles will get a donation from the author. (www.fallingwhistles.com). For more details, please see www.childrennomore.com ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Worshipping Kenny: A Tale of Cock Worship is the brilliant new epistolary work by best-selling erotica author Anisette Flowers. Follow a woman utterly obsessed with the male member and unable to control her desires and needs. When she finds a younger man with what she believes is the perfect cock, she has no choice but to do whatever it takes to have him...no, to worship him. Warning: This audiobook contains very explicit descriptions of sexual activity. It includes voyeurism, masturbation, cock worship, deep throat, semen swallowing, and older woman/younger man interactions. It is intended for mature listeners who will not be offended by graphic depictions of sex acts between consenting adults. Here is a preview: After she told John she'd changed her mind, Jeannie reached for his waistband and yanked his sweatpants down. He hadn't worn underwear, and he was very hard. I'd never seen a circumcised penis and the sight shocked me and thrilled me. In fact, I think at that moment I knew that any man who would have me would either be circumcised or be willing to get circumcised. My image of the penis changed forever. Really, though, that was only part of the picture. Sure, I would likely have searched for pictures online and watched some pornography (believe it or not, I'd never watched pornography before that moment) but I think what changed appreciation to obsession was what happened next. Jeannie hadn't just changed her mind about getting naked with John. In fact, she was letting him know that she was willing to use her mouth on him for the first time, the first time for him and the first time she'd ever given a blowjob. I felt a strange burst of pride because I'd given blowjobs to Craig fairly regularly and the idea that I had more experience than my older sister thrilled me a little bit. ungekürzt.

    Fifth volume of adult jokes and stories. These jokes are often sexual in nature. They deal with sexual misunderstandings between men and women. It is broken down by categories from aliments to Viagra. Religious jokes, doctor and nurse jokes, couples jokes - all are enjoyable. Example: "Shark in a Pool" A multimillionaire threw a lavish party several times a year. At the parties, he would usually offer some outrageous offer. This year he offered to give half of his billion-dollar estate when he died, or one million dollars in cash, or the hand of his beautiful daughter in marriage to a courageous person who could swim the length of his Olympic swimming pool. The catch was there was an eight-foot Great White Shark in the pool. He announce the offer from a podium in front of the diving board facing his guests. Suddenly behind him, there was a splash. He turned to see a man frantically swimming with the speed of Johnny Weissmuller when he played Tarzan. The shark was swimming with its jaws snapping inches from his feet, but the man was moving too fast. Upon reaching the far side of the swimming pool, the man grabbed a rail and yanked his body out of the water, as the shark’s mouth snapped on air less than an inch from his foot. The rich man was good to his promise and asked him, “Do you want half of my estate when I die?” “No.” “Then do you want the one million dollars in cash? “No.” “Then you must want to marry my beautiful daughter.” The man shook his head and said, “No.” Puzzled, the rich man asked, “What do you want?” “I want to know who the SOB was that pushed me into the pool!”  ungekürzt.

    This book will get you to meditate. Minus the pan flutes.ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word namaste without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to embrace a practice he'd long considered ridiculous. Harris discovered that meditation made him more focused and less yanked around by his emotions. According to his wife, it also made him significantly less annoying. He wrote about his experiences in the bracingly candid and extremely funny memoir 10% Happier, which became a number one New York Times best seller and landed Harris in the entirely unexpected position of being one of meditation's most vocal public proponents.Here's what he's fixated on now: Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain, among numerous other benefits. And yet there are millions of people who want to meditate but aren't actually practicing. What's holding them back? In Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics, Harris and his friend Jeff Warren, a masterful teacher and "Meditation MacGyver", embark on a cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions, and self-deceptions that stop people from meditating. They rent a rock-star tour bus (whose previous occupants were Parliament Funkadelic) and travel across 18 states, talking to scores of would-be meditators - including parents, military cadets, police officers, and even a few celebrities. They create a taxonomy of the most common issues ("I suck at this", "I don't have the time", etc.) and offer up science-based life hacks to help people overcome them.The book is filled with game-changing and deeply practical meditation instructions. You'll also get access to the 10% Happier app, where you can listen for free t ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dan Harris, Jeffrey Warren.
