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.
