This is a work of fiction.
The following short story contains scenes of rape and coercion as pure fantasy and is obviously not real in many many ways.
I do not condone any acts that are not part of a healthy consenting relationship.
If this is the kind of story you enjoy then I hope you like it.

Out on Parole
The car accident was not Sophie's fault but the police didn't believe her and the judge had tried her as an adult. She was found guilty and sentenced to 4 years behind bars.
Celebrating her eighteenth birthday behind bars she swore she'd never be returning there.
After serving a little over half her sentence she was granted an early release. The parole board granted it on the condition that she found & kept a job and stayed out of trouble.
Once released Sophie had to move back in with her parents. She was not allowed alcohol, would be regularly tested for drugs and was to be monitored by an electronic tag. Failure to adhere, her fat parole officer repeatedly reminded her, would result in a swift return to prison.
As a parolee with no degree Sophie had few job prospects. No office would even give her an interview and the local bars and restaurants wanted experienced staff. All she could find were fast food jobs.
In her mind there was no question she was getting a job, any job. So the next day Sophie set off to restart her life. After a few long fruitless days she finally found an ad for a burger joint across town. It was far from ideal but she was determined and desperate.
The humid office above the restaurant smelt vaguely of mould and sweat. Across the desk the manager read Sophie's C.V while a fan hummed loudly overhead. She watched the slightly balding man leaf through her pages hoping he'd give her a chance. Things were not good, she was running out of time.
A cool breeze rolled down over Sophie's bare arms and she began to regret her choice of top. In an effort to increase her chances she'd opted to wear the little white vest top she usually wore out clubbing. Sitting there she now felt it might be a little too skimpy for interviews.
The manager finished shuffling the papers and looked up.
"Convict," he stated, having already read it in the paperwork.
"Yes," she replied, "I was..."
"I've had a few like you in here before" he interrupted. "They all learn one way or another that I'll take NO SHIT. I keep a tight ship and there are no second chances! You fuck with me, you'll be back inside quicker than shit up a drainpipe AND with a few extra years added for good measure!" He paused for added effect. "You get me missy?"
"Yes sir." She replied, biting her tongue at his use of the missy nickname.
"Good, I'm Bob Lawson the owner but you can stick with 'Sir,' I like that. Now I'm short staffed today so I'll need you to start right away. Go down and see Ian, he'll sort you out with a uniform and show you the ropes."
Sophie was glad to be finished. She got up, hurried out of the office and away from Bob's lingering glare. She felt relieved to have finally landed a job but was totally dejected with the thought of having to start there right away. When she reached the bottom of the grim wooden stairs she found a few staff members milling about the kitchen.
"Ian?" she asked the group. They looked up in collective silence. After a brief hesitation all but one returned to their work.
"That would be me," replied the thin, dull looking thirty year old. "Are you joining us?"
"Yeah, I'm starting right away. Mr Lawson said I should talk to you about a uniform... I'm Sophie." She nervously added before offering her him hand and smiling.
Ian smiled back and returned her handshake. Letting her hand go he thought for a moment.
"Come with me and I'll get you sorted."
Sophie followed him through the kitchen and into a small storage room at the back. Dusty boxes filled the windowless room. There was no door hanging in the archway and a broken light strip flickered overhead. As Ian searched through the shelves of boxes she watched the staff out in the kitchen, they reminded her of a flock of startled sheep.
"What are the opening hours here?" She asked.
"Well, we open for lunch from 11am to 3pm and evenings from 7pm until 1am. I'll check with Bob on how long we'll need you today then get you on the rota for the rest of the week."
"Thank you, yes." She smiled attempting to conceal her disappointment at the thought of such a late finish.
Ian began to get flustered searching through all the boxes in the dank room. He finally seemed to give up and turned towards the empty doorway.
"Wait here a second," he directed, darting back into the kitchen and up the stairs.
Sophie reclined against the stacked boxes and relaxed for a moment. Ian seemed quite friendly and not at all scary like Bob. He re-appeared a few moments later holding a bundle of clothes. Sophie snapped to attention and stepped towards him.
"Sorry but most of the uniforms are in use with the full time guys. These are all we have at the moment," he apologised handing her the items. "You can get changed back here but don't take too long."
Sophie hesitated a moment unsure wether to complain about the tatty state of the skimpy clothes first or the fact that there was no door for privacy.
"Isn't there a toilet I can use?" she asked hoping to avoid a public strip.
"Sorry but the staff can't use the customer one," advised Ian, "and Sam is in the staff one,"
