SOLVED. Short Story - Woman Sexually Assaulted by Alien - Metaphor for Relationship [s]

[Mawgojzeta]

I am going crazy; thought I bookmarked this story, but cannot find it now. This is what I recall:

Author is well-known female author.
Story is a metaphor for a relationship.
Alien takes her on its ship.
During trip, she is sexually assaulted.
She describes forced entry, even in places where entry would not have existed before.
I want to say that the alien was gooey all over and had multiple appendages.
It is not a terribly long tale.
Written (or at least posted online) with the last 4 years.

Ring any bells?

Probably Spar by Kij Johnson. It won the Nebula and was shortlisted for the Hugo.

P.S. It's graphic, so readers, don't click through if that's an issue.

Thank you! That is it! I tried Atwood, Niffenegger, Tepper, and even Valente with no luck.

Glad to help!
