She's smart, conniving and tenacious. In fact, the only soft spot she seems to have is for a hunky employee named Christopher.But as calculating as she is, no one could have known her depraved motivations for promoting him well beyond his level of competence.She lays it all out for he can keep his job or stay faithful to his wife, but not both. What will she discover lays dormant inside a meek man when she strips away all pretense of civility? Procuring a Man is another stand-alone short story (7,000 words) in Carnal House Publishing’s edgy and acclaimed Coerced series. It features graphic scenes of coerced, barely consensual, rough sex, and is only suitable for adults.ExcerptJust as she was trying to acclimate to this new sensation of finding pleasure in being made to feel small and weak, her mind was thrust back into fear as Christopher lifted her from her chair with the hand cupping her neck and jaw. She struggled to get to and then keep her feet, but the chair was between them, so she was forced to lean back at an incredibly awkward angle, especially considering she was on heels.Christopher solved this problem for her, shoving the chair aside with his free hand, and then yanking her back against his body. Hitting him was hitting a solid wall of muscle. He did not give in the slightest, though she fell back against him with all her weight, being completely off balance. Then he lifted her higher and higher, until she was standing on her toes, her heels no longer on the ground. Now her body was stretched at full length against his, and she could feel not only the hardness of his muscles, but his cock as it pressed into the crack of her fully-flexed ass.

His hand now free, he pulled her against him and slipped his hand down into her skirt and began to paw at her sex.This was no foreplay. There was no wooing, no easing into the intense sensations. He slipped his fingers between her lips and her folds and began to furiously rub her clit. She hadn’t realized how wet she’d gotten. Even while Janice’s mind had been consumed by fear, her body had reveled in Christopher’s power over her. Her body was betraying her.And it continued to betray her as her knees went weak with his rubbing of her clit. As her body began to tense, he again began to lift her higher and higher, stretching her out, increasing the internal tension in her lower abdomen until a powerful orgasm ripped through her, wracking her with savage convulsions as she st
