Impossible Seduction 13 by Jordan Church
Impossible Seduction 13 by Jordan Church
Young adult Kaia, still only a teenager, is in the middle of “friendship date” with a black girl that had gotten far too friendly. Her own mom set her up for this dark seduction and Kaia was defenseless. Now, after having submitted to dominant Quiesha, Kaia has a new Mistress and she is even more defenseless!
Now Megan Reynolds and her daughter, Kaia, are both inside the black lesbian guards’ house but are not yet aware of each other. Will they run into each other?
Three mothers and their six daughters were told that because of their beauty they could become successful mother-daughter models. It was a sexual conspiracy of two dominant lesbian photographers to get the three families – blondes, brunettes, and redheads – to move into a gated community where they could target the mothers and daughters like fish in a barrel.
Megan and Kaia are stuck in a submissive sexual fog that keeps getting thicker and more compromising.
Quiesha intends to cement her control over her new submissive, Kaia, who she has renamed “Tongue Mutant”.
Quiesha’s giantess roommate, Ladonne, wants a share of Kaia.
Lydia, once foiled in sexually conquering Kaia, wants to correct that blemish on her record of successful seduction and domination. Kaia still has one virginity left to take….
Kaia sure is a popular girl!

Author Bio:
I write erotica. Sharing the inner thoughts and emotions of characters is the ultimate voyeurism.
I am a big believer in plot and character development.
I want the characters to be as real as possible. Character motivations drive the events and sexual activities.
Sex scenes are detailed and graphic. I want to always give a perfect picture of exactly what is happening and why and how and how the characters feel physically and emotionally.
I have two degrees and am dedicated to providing the highest quality erotica.
Much appreciation for any and all feedback (jordanchurch@mail.com) and customer reviews.
If you’re curious about my chosen name, I can tell you how it came about. I was once an inanimate small Russian Orthodox church in Serafimovich in Volgograd Oblast. I was brought to life during a 3:00AM “witching hour” satanic rite conducted by a small cult that had never done much before and not much since. I am it’s lone claim to fame.
Although I promptly refused the cultist’s demands that I storm through the town leaving a path of destruction (my refusal seemed to surprise and upset them) I knew I would not be welcome in the world of mankind. Who wants a big (even a small church is big) moving church wondering around asking questions and raising even more questions?
I left for the broad open plains in the surrounding areas. I usually stayed still during the day and wondered about at night assuaging my curiosities so as to cause the least alarm among the residents. The cultists did pursue me with great insistence and continued demands for me to be violent. They claimed I owed to them for utilizing the souls of deceased Nazis from nearby Stalingrad in order to bring me to life.
Despite the politeness of my refusals they eventually, the fourth night, took to throwing Molotov cocktails at me. Ever been set on fire? I’ll share this with you: not fun. I do not recommend it. Having newly mobile drain spouts and gutters and ready access to streams saved my hide. My shingles, too.
This went on night after night and, let me tell you, it got old quick. Then… things got worse. The Angels showed up. The avenging kind. Revenge for what? Well, as they claim, I guess I am some kind of “abomination before God”. I really don’t get that “before God” part. Is it OK to be an abomination behind him?
So, unlike the Molotov cocktail throwing cultists, these Avenging Angels utilized lightning bolts. But, just like flaming Molotov cocktails, those lightning bolts got old quick. Real quick.
So, how am I still here to tell you about all this and how can I even type it? I will tell you.
I’m really quite a lucky church even within bouts of bad luck. Just two months before the cultists animated me the priest of my church needed to replace the lightning rod on me. A rusty contraption poorly assembled and a hazard to the churchgoing folk.
A normal average-sized lightning rod could never have absorbed those Avenging Angel lightning bolts. However, my priest was a proud priest and he wanted me to be taller than that other Orthodox Church on the Western edge of Serafimovich. By doggedly yelling at the congregation seven Sunday’s in a row he raised enough money to have the biggest lightning rod in all of Volgograd Oblast installed on me, thus bringing my height up an additional seventeen feet.
So, I mostly absorbed those lightning bolts. Those Avenging Angels were very upset and I did feel bad for them but, hey, what choice, right?
Some lightning bolts did get through when shot from near enough and at certain angles. Hurt bad! Note: Pain is one of the biggest drawbacks to being brought to life. I think we can all agree on that.
One benefit of Avenging Angel’s lightning is poor aim. By accident this led to a sharp decrease in the population of cultists. The downside of Avenging Angels is that they don’t need to sleep and never give up. They don’t get bored. They don’t lose focus. They just keep coming.
I didn’t sleep for twenty-seven days and the whole time was so painful.
Even my giant lightning rod was beginning to melt….
The end was coming for me. A big conflagration. Then ashes. Then Hell, right? They weren’t going to destroy me and then take me up to Heaven were they? Elitists, that’s what they are!
After twenty-seven days of this unfair lightning bolt abuse I was, by then, in Syria a bit North of the Sea of Galilee. I didn’t know where I was at the time, of course. I plunged into a river to escape or limit the bolts. I was so tired I thought I’d float and just sleep a while even if they were bolting me incessantly. I was that tired!
I even thought if I was lucky I wouldn’t even wake up at all….
I did fall asleep.
I did wake up.
I was on the shore on the West side of the river. I… wasn’t a church any more. I was… a Human? Still not completely sure if I am. Or what happened. Or where the Avenging Angels went. Or if they’re coming back after reloading on lightning bolts.
Humans need names. Why? People always ask. Like, usually right away. Turned out that the river I plunged into was the Jordan River. And, you know, I used to be a church. So, I tell people to call me Jordan Church.
I’m sort of in hiding now, but I’m really not sure if you can hide from Avenging Angels or if I still need to. Cultists would be more of a problem now though. I assume Molotov cocktails feel just terrible on human skin!
I write erotica because, as a human, I now have bills to pay. I used to be a building and now I have to pay to live in one! Oh, how I have fallen.
I chose erotica because it fascinates me. Hey, I’m only human!
Married to My Boss
We had one hot week together.
And it ended badly.
Now six years later I need him
To be my fake husband to land a job.
But what happens when faking it
Turns all too real?
Will he ever forgive me when he finds out
It’s not the only lie I’ve been telling?

Author Bio:
Kristin Ward is an award-winning author from Connecticut. She embraces her inner nerd regularly, geeking out with SciFi flicks or quoting 80s movies while expecting those around her to chime in with appropriate rejoinders. As a nature freak, she can be found wandering the woods – she may be lost, so please stop and ask if you see her – or chilling in her yard with all manner of furry and feathered friends. Often referred to as a unicorn by colleagues, in reality, the horn was removed years ago, leaving only a mild imprint that can be seen if she tilts her head just right. A lifelong lover of books and writing, she dreamed of becoming an author for thirty years but lazed about and didn’t publish anything until 2018. Her debut novel, After the Green Withered, is the first of other stuff you should probably read.

The Vetting Officer by Alistair Owen
About The Vetting Officer by Alistair Owen
A disgraced British intelligence officer. A mysterious and passionate stranger. An unexpected and fateful encounter. But is it just chance that brings them together, or is it something more sinister? Is this enigmatic woman a guilty man’s hope for the future, or a deadly part of his past?
From the author of the acclaimed memoirs SMOKING IN BED: CONVERSATIONS WITH BRUCE ROBINSON and HAMPTON ON HAMPTON comes this compelling short novel: the suspense of a spy thriller meets the intensity of a love story against the dramatic backdrop of the English coast.
‘I much enjoyed THE VETTING OFFICER. The fractured narrative is handled with great aplomb, and its slender length is absolutely justified by its intensity. Bravo!’ WILLIAM BOYD
