Book Showcase: Training the Help by Michelle Graham

Hi all, 
The lovely Michelle Graham has just released book 3 in her sexy Hedon Falls series, titled Training the Help . What can I say, I'm thrilled to present the first FFM romance on my blog, so here it goes:


Training the Help – Hedon Falls 3

Unemployed and running out of resources, Sophie LaPlante is desperate for a job, when the perfect one appears before her. A wealthy couple from Hedon Falls requires a live-in housekeeper, and Sophie is just what they’re looking for.

Jack Sullivan, a powerful CEO and Dom, is married to actress Kendra Hughes. He immediately senses submissive tendencies in his new housekeeper. His wife can never be the sub he needs, so while Kendra is away on a film shoot, he begins to train Sophie. When Kendra returns, she joins the training to explore her own Dominant desires. While their sessions were not intended to involve sex, they find themselves fighting a losing battle against their mutual attraction.

The three of them are caught up in a web of lust, guilt, and infidelity, all complicated by an ex-boyfriend who can’t leave Sophie alone.






Adult Excerpt

Jack pulled her inside. He quickly shed his tux jacket, tie and shirt. Sophie watched, transfixed, as the muscles on his arms rippled in front of her. He kept his body in amazing shape. He walked around behind Sophie and pulled down the zipper on her dress. He pushed the dress to the floor. His hand slapped her butt and she cried out in pleasure. He moved around in front of her, his eyes travelling over her body. He stared at the push-up bra and the deep cleavage it created. Sophie’s nipples were pointing straight out and aching to be touched. Jack raised a hand toward her and she held her breath in anticipation, but he simply took her hand and led her to the large wooden X on the far wall. The wood was dark and highly polished, with hooks attached to the top, and bottom of each arm. He pushed her against it, face first and ordered her not to move. A moment later, he was fastening cuffs around her ankles and wrists. He lifted one arm and attached the cuff to the hook on the cross. He did the same for the other arm, and then her legs. A moment later he was pressing the ball gag into her mouth and fastening it behind her head. Sophie clenched her teeth against the hard ball, the drooling beginning almost immediately.

She felt the sting of a flogger against her back and moaned around the gag. Jack rained down blows on her shoulders, back, behind, and legs, each one harder, and each bringing more pleasure. She could hear Jack’s ragged breathing behind her and the quiet grunts that always preceded another flick with the flogger. When he stopped, she whimpered slightly, needing him to continue and give her the release she was looking for. Instead, he pressed himself against her, his erection like steel in her back. He slipped a hand around front, and pressed it against her stomach. His breath caressed her neck and ears.

“Are you okay?” he asked. Sophie nodded. Jack’s other hand traveled down her back and caressed her ass, his fingers slipping under the waistband of her thong and pulling gently. Sophie moaned as the fabric pulled taut over her clit. He did this a few times before he slid both hands to her hips and pulled her back against him. The feel of his fingers digging into her hips, combined with his cock pushing against her back made her body shake with desire.

“I’m going to undo your bra,” he said. “Is that okay?”

Sophie nodded vigorously as his hands moved over her back and deftly unhooked the clasp of her bra. It stayed in place because she was pressed up against the cross. He slid his hands over her sides, his fingers grazing the side of her breasts. He traced delicate patterns on her skin. She felt him bend down and press his lips softly against the side of her neck. With a moan, she tilted her head to allow him better access and he moved up to her ear, nipping at the earlobe before he leaned his head against hers, breathing heavily. Then he moved away and she felt him unhook her ankles and her wrists. He pulled her arms down to her sides, keeping the bra loosely in place, and then turned her around. Sophie gazed up at him, his eyes dark with desire. He reached up to undo the strap on the gag and then carefully pulled it out of her mouth. He dropped it to the floor and then pulled at the front of her bra. She lifted her arms slightly so the garment came away from her body and Jack dropped that to the floor as well. The whole time his eyes stayed locked on hers.

“Sophie,” he whispered, tracing the contour of her jaw with his fingertips. “God, Sophie, I want you so much.”

She could feel his fingers trembling very slightly. She could practically see the struggle in his eyes and it mirrored her own. But she had reached the point where her desire eroded her willpower. Taking a chance, she reached up to touch his cheek. His eyes closed for a moment and then he grabbed her face between his hands and brought his mouth down to hers. Desire flared more powerfully than ever and Sophie kissed him back with abandon.
