Soon to be Pregnant

"He's much older than me and nothing can ever happen between us, even though he's smoking hot. And I say that as a straight guy myself. Nothing wrong with admitting that another man looks sexy, or at least that's what I keep telling myself when it all comes out. It turns out that the mixed signals have been part of his filthy plan for me all along." 'Serving the DILF' features all five stories in the College Experiences series. It's peppered with older man, age gap, and submissive playthings. It has a little bit of BDSM too! Check out the included stories: 1. Girlfriend's Dirty DILF Glenn is different, imposing, protective, and also... my girlfriend's dad and History professor. He's a tough guy. He picks on me all the time, afraid that I'll upset Victoria. He makes me feel small just by being near him, and I'm certain he knows that. Thus, it's no surprise when he invites me over to his favorite pub, and I have to go. Thinking that he'll just iron out a couple of things about my relationship with Vic, the last thing I thought was going to happen was him finding out about a secret of mine. He makes something stir in my pants and I'm not ashamed of it. 2. Boyfriend's Naughty DILF Chuck feels something that he shouldn't for me and I know it. Even as we play basketball, it's all so obvious. I know that I shouldn't. We shouldn't let it happen, especially because I already have a boyfriend. And yet, something I have gets rock-hard when he bumps his body against mine. I think it might finally happen. It's dark and I hear someone swimming in the pool. I don't think that it's Chuck, but if it is... I can't help but wonder how he looks without his clothes on. Hmm, he's older than me and a professor in the college where I study, so I think that our little affair might happen so that I can get a better grade on my next midterm. 3. Best Friend's Filthy DILF Why do I feel this sudden, uncontrollable attraction to Mark, the hot football coach from college? It doesn't even make sense - I'm 100%, fully straight. Nothing can ever change that and yet the older, imposing man stirs something different in me. Every time that we practice football and his body is all sweaty, it's like a torment I can never escape from. And it all gets so much worse when he invites me to a party right in his house. I have to 'enjoy myself' right in his guest bedroom to feel less desperate about it all when I, then, notice something strange coming from the swimming pool. The cocky, married instructor is swimming and he wants to give me a few lessons... 4. Ex-Girlfriend's Hot DILF I broke up with my girlfriend. Things just weren't going well between us. That should've been the end of everything between us, but her father wants an explanation, and it has to come from me. Bryan is... nothing short of imposing, big in every way, and also my Physics professor. That's right, I'm his student, which makes this all so much more uncomfortable. When I'm finally alone with him and he sits across from me, I can't help but begin to feel something alien for him. My eyes keep checking out something between his legs that I shouldn't. After all, I'm completely, 100% straight. 5. Ex-Boyfriend's Cocky DILF Things didn't work out between my boyfriend and me. In the end, he just wasn't the right one. That's not to say that I gave up on love, though. Far from it. I'm already out on the hunt for a hot, spicy date when I stumble on an interesting profile on a dating app. He's older than me, mouthwateringly cocky, and is hungry to have me over in his house. My heart thumps in my chest in excitement, but I'm only being a fool about this. It turns out that 'Prof123' is actually someone that I know well. Note: characters are unrelated, consenting adults.

An ABDL MM Biker Romance

My Protective Biker

"Nuclear terrorism is such a disturbing prospect that we shy away from its details. Yet as a consequence, we fail to understand how best to defeat it. Michael Levi takes us inside nuclear terrorism and behind the decisions a terrorist leader would be faced with in pursuing a nuclear plot. Along the way, Levi identifies the many obstacles, large and small, that such a terrorist scheme might encounter, allowing him to discover a host of ways that any plan might be foiled. Surveying the broad universe of plots and defenses, this accessible account shows how a wide-ranging defense that integrates the tools of weapon and materials security, law enforcement, intelligence, border controls, diplomacy, and the military can multiply, intensify, and compound the possibility that nuclear terrorists will fail. Levi draws from our long experience with terrorism and cautions us not to focus solely on the most harrowing yet most improbable threats. Nuclear terrorism shares much in common with other terrorist threats--and as a result, he argues, defeating it is impossible unless we put our entire counterterrorism and homeland security house in order. As long as we live in a nuclear age, no defense can completely eliminate nuclear terrorism. But this book reminds us that the right strategy can minimize the risks and shows us how to do it."

On Nuclear Terrorism

This book analyzes in detail how and why people become involved in long-firm (planned bankruptcy) fraud, the similarities and differences between long-firm fraud and other crimes, the links between bankruptcy fraudsters and other professional and organized criminals, the techniques that fraudsters use, and the social and commercial relationships that exist within the operational world of the long-firm fraudster. Extensively researched, the study uses interviews with and documentation from businesspeople, credit controllers, lawyers, judges, police, fraud investigators as well as fraudsters themselves. It also makes use of extensive documentary material from contemporary and historical police and court records. Originally published in the 1980s, the revised edition of this seminal work provides a substantial new introduction written by the author to highlight the changing and unchanging relevance of the findings for a contemporary audience, and the ways in which fraud opportunities and the organization of frauds have modified in the intervening years.
