Synopsis
"Have you heard the saying, 'sex sells'? Well, I'm the
supplier."
Finnley Felton sells sex.
Jennifer Downs is a virgin.
With the help of lady luck, the two meet.
Money. Bright lights. Sex.
Jennifer is made an offer: sell her virginity to the highest
bidder and transform into one of Finnley's girls. But she finds herself weak
for him, and doesn't fully realize what she's agreed to until it's too late.
Will she rise to the challenge and play by the rules in a land
where money is king and love is prohibited? Or will she lose herself and values
in the attempt?
Weak for Him is not considered a "dark" read, but does
have unlady-like language, adult subject matter, and s-e-x-ual situations. Weak
for Him does not have a cliffhanger. There is resolution but the story does
continue on.
"If you think I am bluffing by when I say that "Weak
For Him" will give you the ride of lifetime, then I say, take a gamble and
see for yourself." –Tiffany @ The Naughty Book Dames"
Excerpt
Mr.
Felton stood facing the windows in a neatly pressed suit. The black tie
complemented the black suit, designer from head to toe. His green eyes met my
brown gaze, and I smiled, but only received the ghost of one in return. Once the secretary left us, I searched
the room, trying to take in every little detail: abstract art on the wall, a
conference table in the back, and a lounge area in the middle. The afternoon
light cast a yellow glow in the room. A large oak desk, which screamed business
executive, had two chairs tucked in front. The room looked comfortable,
welcoming, but also professional. The
red velvet curtains that overlooked the atrium were jerked closed. "Hi, Finnley. Thank y—" "It's Mr. Felton." My face flushed. How could I be so
inconsiderate and unprofessional? I
immediately felt stupid. "Mr.
Felton. Thank you for
allowing me to interview. I've brought my resume and a list of recommendations.
I'd love to join your accounting team if you'd allow me." I outstretched my hand and he left me
standing there, awkwardly. The smile faded from my face as he leaned against
the wooden desk with his arms crossed. "Take
off your clothes." His voice was low and silky. "Excuse me?" The words hit
me like cool water. I don't
think so, asshole. "The
interview has begun, Ms. Downs. If you'd like to join my team, you will do what
I say and if you'd prefer not, you are more than welcome to turn around and
walk that tight ass through the door, and we can pretend as if this never
happened." The fierce tone
behind his English accent made me cower. I froze as I calculated my next move. What the fuck? The way he looked at me, exploring
my body as if he were undressing me, made my stomach flip. No one had ever
observed me that way. With a sprinkle of courage, I searched the blank
matter-of-fact expression that covered his face. This man was all business. As his long eyelashes hit the tops of
his slightly sun-kissed cheeks, I closed my eyes to regroup my thoughts, then
opened them quickly. I couldn't let my nerves get the best of me. He moved his
messy hair behind his ears, and then sat on the desk, waiting, wanting, daring
me to make my move. "Have
you decided? Or are we going to waste the good portion of my time
daydreaming?" I swallowed. All I ever wanted to do was live in
Vegas among the lights and fast-paced city. How did I get myself into this?
Take off my clothes? I wasn't some cheap whore to be bossed around. The thought
of undressing in front of him disgusted me… or did it? My heart sped as he watched with a
lust and want so fierce I shivered. It was now or never, you only live once,
right? I peered behind him and
stared at the Vegas strip in the distance. With perfect plump lips, and
straight white teeth, Mr. Felton smiled at me. In that very moment, I decided
to gamble. I didn't know why because I wasn't much for risks. If anyone was a
play-it-safe type of girl, it was me. But in that moment, I wanted to be
someone different. I wanted to know the outcome of what waited on the other side.
I played with lady luck to see what hand she dealt. Maybe I would get lucky.
