“Rule one for fucking a wolf, June," Dom growled into my ear, making me shiver. "Dominance is everything."
The urgency tightened inside of me more and more with every stroke. I couldn't move, and it excited me.
Dom's mouth took mine. Biting and pressing hungrily. I was desperate for him. Desperate for his lips, desperate for climax.
"June," Dom warned.
I was too breathless to answer, panting, and nodding with fervor.
Yes. Yes! Please.
My wolf agreed passionately. We were an animal in heat. Fucking Dom was the only thing either of us could think of.
Dom thrust upward in one last strong jerk. "Let me see your eyes, June!"
He commanded me. I mean really commanded me. My wolf couldn't say no. I couldn't say no. I looked him in the eye as I lost it all.
"Ah!" A short, breathy yell left me as everything in me rose higher and higher toward that sweet release. The moment I felt his last thrust and the spilling of him inside me, I went to pieces.
My body tensed, riding him hard as we both came. It was both better and worse that I couldn't even move my hands, I was fully on display in my most vulnerable moment.”

“Rulers like Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser started subsidizing bread as a way to buy loyalty, or at least obedience, and this system became so pervasive that the Tunisian scholar Larbi Sadiki described countries who used it as dimuqratiyyat al-khubz - "democracies of bread."

“Rulers, Statesmen, Nations, are wont to be emphatically commended to the teaching which experience offers in history. But what experience and history teach is this - that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
