She had fainted onto the couch in the office lounge, her head resting against the armrest, and her body twisted in an uncomfortable position. Her muscles protested as she sat up, rubbing her neck and trying to work out the kinks.

As she fixed her clothes and motorized her body, she noticed that the bustle of the office had increased significantly.

Emma felt a flutter of nerves in her stomach as she stepped out of the lounge and into the main office area. As other members of the staff noticed her, they all started to congratulate her. Emma looked around in surprise, taking in the smiling faces of her colleagues.

"What's going on?" she asked, feeling a blush creep up her cheeks as the praise continued.

Sarah stepped forward, beaming with pride. "They're cheering you on, Emma! With your success, they received job security; a rarity in this line of work." Sarah's voice was warm and sincere, and Emma couldn't help but feel a swell of pride.

But that pride was quickly replaced by confusion as Sarah led her to a large screen on the wall, covered in data and charts. "This is the data on our views, individual purchases, and subscriptions. Look at these numbers!"

Emma scanned the screen, taking in the numbers and statistics. Sure enough, the numbers had been steadily increasing over the past year but had spiked dramatically in just the last day.

"See those peaks, Emma? Those are all because of you." Sarah pointed to a series of sharp spikes on the graph, and Emma felt her heart race as she realized that Sarah was right. "Your mature movie, Lens of Desire, has been our most popular and profitable content by far. Its success allowed me to acquire the necessary funds to purchase the company from Madison." Sarah said, her voice steady and confident.

Emma was stunned, her mind racing to process Sarah's words. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What does that mean for me? For us?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

"Well, for starters, we're officially in business together, how does that sound?" Sarah asked, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"But what about the mature content? I never agreed to do porn, Sarah. I just wanted to explore my photography skills." Emma replied, feeling a mix of betrayal and disappointment.

Sarah looked at her sympathetically. "I know, Emma. I'm sorry. But the truth is, the adult entertainment industry is where the real money is." Sarah said. "It was always a bit of a taboo topic, but the numbers don't lie. And neither do I." Sarah's voice grew softer, almost pleading. "I know this isn't what you signed up for, Emma. But I promise you, I never lied to you. I never tricked you. I just didn't want to scare you off before you had a chance to see the potential for yourself."

Emma felt a pang of guilt in her chest. Sarah was right - she had never lied to her. She had always been upfront and honest about the nature of the magazine and the adult entertainment industry. Emma had simply been too naive and idealistic to notice otherwise.

"I need to talk to Madison," Emma said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Sarah nodded, understanding. "Of course, Emma. Go talk to her."

She walked through the dimly lit office, passing rows of desks and computers until she reached the corner office, the one that belonged to Madison.

She hesitated for a moment before knocking softly on the door. From inside, she heard Madison's muffled voice telling her to come in.

"Hi, Madison," Emma said nervously as she stepped into the room.

Madison looked up from her paperwork, her face expressionless. "Emma, what brings you here?"

"I wanted to talk to you about the mature content we've been creating for the magazine," Emma said, trying to keep her voice steady.

"What about it?" Madison asked, her tone casual.

"I feel like I've been lied to; by you, by Sarah, by everyone here. I never signed up for this. I want answers, Madison, and I want them now." Emma said, her voice shaking with anger and betrayal.

Madison sighed, setting her pen down. "Fine, Emma. I'll tell you what you want to know. But first, I want you to understand that what I did, I did to be free." Madison's voice was steady and resolute as she looked at Emma, who sat in front of her, her eyes wide with shock.

"When I started this company, I wanted to do something legitimate. I wanted to create something that would last and that would make a difference in people's lives. I had a vision of a company that would produce high-quality content that would be respected and admired by the public."

"But the truth is, there's no money in being legitimate. No matter how good your content is, or how hard you work, the fact is that people just aren't willing to pay for it. They want something that's cheap and easy, something that they can consume without thinking." Madison paused, her voice taking on a bitter tone. "And sex fits that bill perfectly. It's the lowest common denominator of entertainment, and people can't get enough of it."

Emma frowned, her heart sinking at Madison's words. "So, you're saying that porn is the only way to make money in this industry?" she asked, feeling more discouraged than ever.

Madison nodded. "That's exactly what I'm saying. And it's not just this industry, Emma. It's every industry. The world is becoming more and more shallow, more and more superficial. People don't care about quality anymore; they just care about getting what they want as quickly and easily as possible." Madison continued, "And I knew that if I wanted to make this company successful, I had to give the people what they wanted. So, I started producing mature content."

Emma listened in shock, her mind racing with questions and doubts. "But what about Sarah? How did you trick her into buying the company?"

Madison sighed, her expression turning cold and calculating. "Sarah was always a bit of a pushover, I could tell from the start. She wanted so badly to be a part of something successful that she was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen. So, I started grooming her, slowly feeding her bits and pieces of information about the adult entertainment industry, getting her more and more interested.

I knew she was hooked when she started asking me questions about it, wanting to learn more. And that's when I made my move. I told her that the only way she could truly be a part of the industry was if she bought the company. And she did, without hesitation. She was so horny, she bit the sex angle hook, line, and sinker."

Emma stared at Madison in disbelief, her heart racing with a mix of emotions. How could Sarah, someone she had trusted and respected, be so easily manipulated?

"But what about me, Madison? Why did you hire me?" Emma asked, her voice trembling.

Madison answered without hesitation, "Because I saw something in you, Emma. I saw your potential, your raw talent. And I knew that if I could harness that talent, I could make this company even more successful. It only cost you your innocence."

Emma spat, her voice trembling with anger and betrayal. "How could you do that to Sarah? To me?"

Madison shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips. "It's business, Emma. You should know that by now. And besides, I didn't force you to do anything you didn't want to do. You made your own choices."

"Choices?" Emma's voice rose in incredulity. "What choices? You lied to me, you manipulated me, you took advantage of me. That's not a choice, Madison. That's exploitation."

Madison's face darkened, her eyes flashing with a hint of anger. "Who are you going to tell, you double-penetrated slut?" Madison countered.

Emma hung her head, her long blonde hair cascading down her face like a curtain. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. All this time, she thought she was just taking photos, but now she realized that she had been a part of something much darker and seedy.

She felt a sense of disgust wash over her as she recalled all the times she had posed for those explicit photos, allowing herself to be used for the pleasure of others. She had thought she was being artistic and daring, but she had been nothing more than a pawn in Madison's game of exploitation.

"I can't believe I let myself be used like this," Emma muttered to herself, tears welling up in her eyes.

Madison's voice broke through her thoughts. "Listen to me, Emma. You can still come out on top here. You have a rare talent for creating art that sells. You can make a fortune and leave this industry with no regrets."

Emma looked up at Madison, her curiosity piqued. "How?" she asked, sniffling.

Madison smiled and leaned in closer to Emma, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "You need to find another innocent young woman, like yourself, and teach her everything you've learned. You can mold her into a star, just like I did with you. And then, once she's making money for you, you can leave the industry with all of the profits and none of the baggage."

Emma's heart sank as she realized what Madison was suggesting.

She couldn't believe that she had let herself be used in such a way, and now Madison wanted her to do the same thing to someone else.

Sarah burst into the room, with a determined look. She handed Madison a stack of papers, a satisfied look on her face. "Here are the signed papers, Madison. You're officially no longer a part of this company."

Madison pretended to look sad, but Emma could see the triumphant gleam in her eyes. "Thank you, Sarah. I never would have made it without you."

Sarah turned to Emma, her face softening. "Emma, I know this has been a lot to take in, but I promise that I will always have your best interests at heart. I never meant to exploit you, and I'm sorry for any pain this has caused you. Now saddle up!" Sarah said, cracking a riding crop she brought in with her.

Emma's heart raced as Sarah approached her, a wicked gleam in her eye. "Let's see what you're really made of."

Madison watched from the door, her heart pounding with excitement as she saw Sarah take charge. She knew that this was the moment of truth, the moment where Emma would either sink or swim in the world of adult entertainment.

As Sarah approached Emma, she could see the fear and uncertainty in the young woman's eyes. But at the same time, she could also see a spark of excitement, a spark that told her that Emma was ready to take on this new challenge.

"Now, Emma," Sarah said, her voice low and sultry. "I want you to bend over and touch your toes." Sarah instructed. Emma hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do, but Sarah's stern expression told her that there was no room for argument. Slowly, Emma bent forward, her fingers brushing against the cool wooden floor as she stretched her back. She felt Sarah's hand on her lower back, guiding her into the position.

Suddenly, Sarah pulled Emma's panties down, leaving her exposed and vulnerable. Emma gasped, her heart racing as she felt Sarah's hand on her buttock, kneading and caressing the soft flesh. Sarah's other hand reached around and started toying with Emma's clit, causing her to moan with pleasure.

Madison smiled at Emma as she exited the building, leaving Emma to her fate.
