Tana Storytime

"Speaking of knowing things…" Kyle said slowly, "You still haven't given me a chance to tell my story." "I know," said Andrea. "I was having too much fun speculating. Finding you like this is a gift, and I don't want to tear the wrapping off all at once. ‘Building up the anticipation makes it better.’" Kyle blinked again, then gave a quiet snort of recognition at his own words being thrown back at him. "So what is your speculation?" Kyle asked. "Oh I don't know, probably something utterly disappointing. Did they pick you up for speeding on the way to the farmers market? I guess that wouldn't explain the uh…" she gestured at his injury again. "It wouldn't explain that now, would it. Oh, I know! You got into a fight over the last piece of bluefin!" Kyle just shook his head slightly. "No? I guess it's too much to hope you did something really exciting like rob a bank—You're not secretly a cat burglar are you, Kyle? Lose your balance breaking into an art gallery? No…?" Kyle looked unamused. "Very funny, Chuckles, would you mind taking this a little more seriously?" "Of course," said Andrea. "Very serious for a lawyer to have been arrested. You could be disciplined. Disbarred! Why, we might not see each other in court anymore. Wouldn't that be a shame." "Wouldn't it though," replied Kyle. "So that's the kind of guy you think I am? Stealing fine art and fighting in fish markets?” Andrea pondered some more. "I know!" she exclaimed. "Did you get into a fight with someone's boyfriend? Did it turn out that you were your young lady's bit on the side, and you ended up having a domestic dispute?" Kyle winced. "Is that it?!" Andrea had been teasing, but it seems like she had touched a nerve. To whatever degree Kyle had seemed like he'd been playing along, even as worn down as he was, that last remark had left him deflated. Kyle hung his head. "It wasn't like that…" "Oh sure, like you haven't been collecting notches on your bedposts." "I'M not like that." "You're not? That's not what your reputation says, out there collecting numbers and breaking hearts. I heard that you were a real ladykil–" "Andrea! I'm not–" Kyle shouted, grabbing her hands. His hands were strong, and his grip so tight it almost hurt. His expression so intense, frustrated and hurt and… scared? Andrea knew she had been twisting the knife a little into something that bothered him, but what had caused this reaction? It was only for a moment, then Kyle seemed to catch himself and let go. He slumped back in his chair and slid his shackled hands back below the table. Andrea leaned back as well, adding to the distance, and folded her arms, no longer smiling. She glanced at the duress button out of the corner of her eye. If Kyle had kept holding her as tightly as he had been, she wouldn't have even been able to reach it. "I think we're ready for storytime now," she said seriously. “I think you had better start at the punchline. What have you been charged with, Mr Wynn?" Kyle took a deep breath before he raised his head once more. "Murder, Ms Mason. First Degree Murder." *** Andrea Mason, a defense attorney who cares more about justice and protecting her clients than just winning cases. But the one man she hates to lose to is her rival, the arrogant prosecutor, Kyle Wynn. Kyle represents everything Andi hates about unscrupulous win-at-all-costs lawyers, and for years they have traded arguments in the courtroom and barbs in the hallways. Their paths cross again when they find themselves on a high-profile murder trial. As much as Andrea might despise Kyle, she can’t believe it when HE is charged with the horrific murder. But she is even more shocked when he asks for her to represent him at trial… *** #SLOWBURN #STRONGFL #CRIME #MURDER #FLIRTY #ROMANCE If you want to know what to expect, check the reviews! ฅ^-ﻌ•^ฅ Burrito says to join here: https://discord.gg/qr7eUnxT2F

|No rape*| ~~~~~ "I'll be your voice as long as your heart keeps beating for me," ~~~~~~~ Ian had everything, money, dashing looks, a supportive mom and a perfect life but some said he came straight from hell, others said he was the general of the army of demons, many said he was the devil himself who was always willing to devour, destroy and burn. He was given these numerous titles all because of his only and greatest flaw - anger management issues. This flaw destroys his numerous relationships and he's unaware of this fact. But his mom finds a way to end this madness and an arranged marriage is the only reliable option. There are many fishes in the ocean,so they say but Ian's bride had to be Ivy - an 18 year old with total mutism. Despite the fact that she isn't perfect,Ivy is bold and courageous but can she handle the heat emanating from this hot devil? ~~~~~~~ •Excerpt I Bea hurriedly went to meet Ivy who sent her a text as soon as she sat close to her. "I'll help you Mrs. Kim, your sister told me about your plight,I do not love your son but if getting married to him will help you then I will if he doesn't change in two months, I'll file for a divorce," Bea almost teared up after reading the text, she couldn't believe her eyes. Ivy actually cared about her to the point of endangering her life by getting married at the age of 18 to a monster she gave birth to. •Excerpt II For a few seconds, Ian froze.. he was still trying to heal from the first stab - she's a mutism patient and Bea just had to drop the bomb - you'll be getting married to her. Niel was right, he wasn't going to end up with Tania after all instead he was going to end up with this doll like figure. FOR GOOD. "Hold on a sec.. y'all are joking now, huh?" "This is not a joke Ian! " Anika corrected. " This is total shit!, I'm not going to get married to a mute freak! "he yelled. •Excerpt III " What is wrong him, anyways? " Ivy asked via her device. "Anger issues, he's fire Ivy and it's up to you to contain that heat, "

The sublimity of Muhammad's preaching in Mecca and the severity of his sermons in Medina make Islam a Janus-faced faith that forever bedevils the mind of the Musalmans. This thought-provoking work, besides dissecting the anatomy of Islam, steeped in the Quran, seeks to depict the psyche of the Musalmans, shaped by the proclivities of their prophet, vicissitudes of his life and the attitudes of his detractors, which the mechanism of their umma perpetuates. More to the point, aided by “I’m Ok – You’re Ok”, the path-breaking work of Thomas A. Harris and Roland E Miller’s “Muslim Friends–Their Faith and Feeling”, this book, for the first time ever, psycho-analyzes the imperatives of the Muslim upbringing, which has the potential to turn a faithful and a renegade alike into a fidayeen. Also, apart from delving into the ironies of the faiths that affected the fate of the peoples, eclipsed the cultures of communes, altered the course of history and afflict the politics of the day, this book examines how the sanãtana 'Hindu' dharma came to survive in India, in spite of the combined onslaught of Islam and the Christianity on Hinduism for over a millennium. This book is for those who wish to be aware of the follies of their faith and the foibles of others to lighten the burden of dogma and reduce the baggage of prejudice postulated in its thirty-four well-structured chapters. Also, besides providing a panoramic view of the Indian history, this thought-provoking book appraises the way Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Ambedkar, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee, Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi, Narendra Modi et al made or unmade the post-colonial India. Possibly in a new genre, this free ebook is a book for our times.

``` [COMPLETO - GANHADOR DO PRÊMIO SILVER $8,000USD: Competição de Lobisomens 2022] Zev avançou em direção a ela, toda uma brilhante e brutal beleza, o queixo baixo e aqueles olhos incríveis e penetrantes fixos nela. Ele não parou até que estivessem frente a frente e ele bloqueasse sua visão de qualquer outro macho no círculo. Seus olhos desceram para a boca dela enquanto ele se inclinava, seu sussurro brincando em sua pele. "Você. É. Minha." Sua voz profunda ressoou na barriga dela enquanto os uivos da matilha de lobos surgiam por trás dele, ecoando pelas montanhas de Tana, enquanto os outros Quimeras protestavam contra sua reivindicação. Segurando o impulso de acariciar o amplo peito nu dele com suas mãos trêmulas, Sasha forçou-se a inclinar a cabeça e erguer uma sobrancelha. "Tão ousado para um filhote que acabou de encontrar suas presas." Os outros machos rugiram de riso. Ignorando suas provocações, os olhos de Zev brilharam e ele se inclinou ainda mais, a barba por fazer em sua mandíbula fazendo cócegas na bochecha dela enquanto ele sorria. "Tão ousada para uma humana que já conhece o prazer de ofegar meu nome." Ela estremeceu quando os dentes dele roçaram sua orelha. ***** Apenas dias depois de Sasha se entregar ao amor de sua infância, ele desapareceu. Cinco anos depois, em uma escura rua da cidade, Zev voltou - com perigo seguindo seus passos. Zev é Quimera: Metade humano, metade lobo.

Dividida entre a atração magnética de seu primeiro amor e a dor da traição de seu desaparecimento, Sasha tenta manter Zev a uma distância segura. Mas quando chegam a esse mundo misterioso, Zev descobre que, em sua ausência, os humanos tomaram o controle e roubaram quase todas as fêmeas. Os Quimeras estão morrendo - e Zev não é mais o Alfa. Agora, Zev deve lutar contra seu próprio povo para ganhar o direito de acasalar com seu único amor. Será que ele consegue provar a ela que sua promessa de muito tempo atrás, de proteger seu coração, bem como seu corpo, era verdadeira? Ou os humanos atravessarão mundos para caçar o lobo e separar os amantes para sempre?
