And then there is the little sticker, proclaiming she can be asked to do something bad to make the deals good.<\/p>\n<p>Will her husband&#8217;s friends ask Anna to do very bad things and is she helpless to do them while working?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1932748\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0GD21B72S\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Everything seems to have gotten expensive this year, at least it has for Anna and her loving husband Caleb. But it isn&#8217;t a shopping trip that has Caleb dropping his sweet wife off at the local T-mart so close to Christmas. It&#8217;s holiday help, and she has signed up to work the week of a big sales event called Devilish Deals.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for both of them, this is a Trance-tory sales event at a Trance-tory store, and the most devilish deals of all may be happening at the expense of everything Anna has always been, thanks to perverted customers that may just include her husband&#8217;s own closest buddies.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most of the college girls who signed up to work the weeklong sales event, Anna isn&#8217;t all that young anymore, though she certainly has her appealing features, and in the crowded T-mart store, Anna meets and is reassured by the store manager, Richard, that she will do just fine. <\/p>\n<p>But there are certain rules and traditions she must follow&#8230; one of them silly. As the last of their new temporary holiday help to arrive today, Anna has earned the distinction of having to wear the little devil horn hat, a silly feature meant to ensure timeliness the rest of her days working the job. Between that little felt material hat and the somewhat revealing red dress all the girls have to wear, Anna is already unsure whether she will be able to do a good enough job to win the bonus pay at the end of the week for being the most helpful Devilish Deals girl of the year according to customer reviews.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Anna knows that she and Caleb need this&#8230; the pay, that bonus, everything to save their household expenses and give them some breathing room going into the new year.<\/p>\n<p>With one final tradition to follow, Anna slaps a little devil girl sticker onto the back of her hand, a sticker that has the following words printed&#8230; If the deals aren\u2019t good enough, tell me something bad to do and make them better.<\/p>\n<p>But when an hour into an admittedly uphill battle with the perkier and more friendly chatty other Devilish Deals girls, Anna happens to run into one of her husband&#8217;s closest friends, Zach&#8230; her temporary job is about to start having some permanent consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Zach is shopping deals on little portable automotive handheld shop vacs. But after chatting with him, trying to make a sale, and ultimately pointing out what the little sticker says, will Anna truly be horrified by what he asks her to do&#8230; claiming he will buy three of the little shop vacs for Christmas gifts if&#8230; Anna lets him use one to suck some milk out of her big jugs. <\/p>\n<p>As confusing, betraying, and horrifying as such a crude request might be&#8230; Anna is soon more horrified at her own actions, pulling her dress&#8217; neckline lower, baring her breasts, and merely asking Zach to make it quick. <\/p>\n<p>And so begins a twisted day where Anna is offering quite devilish deals, using her own body to make sale after sale, most of them to her husband&#8217;s buddies who seem to have all known what T-mart sales events are really all about. <\/p>\n<p>Will Anna win that bonus of being the most helpful temporary worker of the week, and will Caleb ever realize what his buddies are up to, and doing to his once sweet faithful wife? Find out as Trance-tory offers a real Krismas bargain no man can refuse&#8230; and Anna makes those Devilish Deals happen, whether she wants to or not.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1932748\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0GD21B72S\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next&#8230; Things can be Devilish at Krismas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With expenses high and times tough, Caleb&#8217;s wife Anna thinks she has the solution, a temporary holiday job at the local T-mart for their Devilish Deals annual sales event.
