    Sarah's husband doesn't give her what she needs. Getting bent over the kitchen counter and having your skirt pulled up and you panties down after a long day of work isn’t enough. A quickie with a two-pump chump isn’t going to satisfy any woman. 
      
    Her boss catches her in the act of pleasuring herself in her office and suggests a new treatment for getting rid of some pent up energies – but not before he relieves her of her stress. 
      
    She is taken to a remote location where her body is remodeled into the perfect representation of herself. Her skin turns silky smooth and slightly... rubbery? When the process is complete, she barely recognizes herself, and neither does her waiting husband! But, he’s happy to take his new play thing for a test run. 
      
    PSA: This story contains a sexually frustrated and inappropriate boss. There will be gratification and mindless submission to a man with complete mastery – in any slot these men wish to be masters of.

    Will Sophie find a way to resist the sheer force of Jared’s presence and keep to her task of filming the investigation? And what will happen when Jared’s past comes back to haunt him and Sophie? 
    Sophie Lauren has achieved a whole lot of success in life. Her achievements as a young videographer have turned into owning her own film studio - the Lauren Studio. And part of owning her own studio means that she’s able to pick the jobs she takes on. So when Jared Beltran - creator and host of the famous ghost-hunting television show - gets in touch with her, her initial impulse is to pass. She’s never been much of a believer in all that hocus-pocus anyway. Still, she agrees to take a meeting with him. After all, from what she’s seen on television, he’s nothing close to hard on the eyes. 
    In person, Jared turns out to be even more gorgeous than Sophie had imagined. She’s instantly, and intensely, attracted to him and the way he composes himself - with charm, with confidence, with dominant, sexual energy. The instant attraction is mutual, and by the end of their meeting, Sophie will agree to much more than just filming Jared’s investigation.
