Content list
This list names what happens in each book, so that you can check whether something appears before you start. It says what happens, not how, and it stays away from the plot where it can.
Both books are told in the first person by Daniel, a twenty-two-year-old analyst. Everyone in a sexual situation is an adult. Neither book is a romance, and neither ends in one.
Each book is listed on its own: if something carries on from book one, book two lists it again. "Not in this book" is true of that book only.
Book One
Acceptable Use
Power and relationships
- A director and a junior analyst at the same company: instructions, rules for how he addresses her, and a real threat of formal discipline at work.
- Paid sessions at a private massage studio.
- His line manager, a second woman, gives him small instructions. Nothing sexual happens between them in this book.
- Service: fetching water and coffee, taking notes, running errands.
- Keyholding: a woman holds the key to his chastity device, by his own choice.
- Anxiety about being monitored on the company network.
Sexual content
- Masturbation, often to pornography, including in a workplace restroom.
- Erections in meetings, and his shame about them.
- Full male nudity. The women stay clothed, and he never touches their genitals.
- Anal play with a woman's fingers, to orgasm.
- Being told to lie in his own semen afterwards.
- Brief anal self-exploration, alone.
- A locked chastity cage, and orgasm denial from then on, including discomfort at night.
Kink
- Spanking with an open hand, including a long series and one hard enough to bring tears.
- Humiliation: remarks about his body, apologizing for being aroused, a demeaning nickname, a humiliating dream.
- Praise, including "good boy".
- Worship: calling women goddesses; massaging, smelling and kissing feet on his knees, a toe in his mouth, under a desk.
- Kneeling, being on all fours, holding positions.
- The first signs of feminization, in words and in the sounds he makes only. No clothing, lingerie or makeup.
Emotional content

- Fear of losing his job, and shame.
- Lying, and being confronted about a lie.
- A panic attack, calmed by touch and reassurance.
- Feeling like less of a man.
- Consent handled in ways some readers will want to know about: he agrees in advance that she will not stop; once, something is done without asking first; at other times he is asked directly whether he is comfortable.
Not in this book
- No physical force or restraint, and nothing played as non-consent.

Book Two
Reporting Line
Power and relationships
- Daily inspections before work, and a rule that private conversations with his director happen with him on his knees.
- Authority handed to a second woman: his line manager is to be obeyed as his director is, and runs his week while the director is away.
- Money: the arrangement takes most of his income, and there are purchases for it.
- Personal errands for the women: laundry, lunch, coffee.
- Keyholding continues. For about two weeks the key is back in his own hands.
Sexual content
- Chastity for most of the book, with a break.
- Anal play with fingers: brought close to orgasm again and again, and a hands-free orgasm while locked.
- Lying in his own semen, this time by choice.
- A butt plug, first put in without asking, then worn every day, including at work; later a larger one.
- A plug in his mouth after cleaning, and sucking a woman's fingers.
- Playing with himself on his own, and daily edging, with aching.
- Masturbation to orgasm after taking the cage off himself, followed by guilt.
- Nudity: fully naked at the studio; partly and then fully undressed in private at the office, including under a desk.
- Long stretches without orgasm, and being refused one.
- The women stay clothed, and he never touches their genitals.
Kink
- Inspections in positions that display the plug. His manager touches it and moves it.
- Spanking. Where the text says, it is by hand; no implement is named. Including tears, spanking as a reward, a smack from a fitness instructor, and ten from his manager as punishment for a mistake at work, counted aloud.
- Humiliation: being left kneeling alone, remarks about his pride, his body described out loud by his manager, being told her time is worth more than his.
- Praise.
- Worship: kissing his manager's shoes, then every morning as a greeting; his director's feet, toes in his mouth, her foot on his head; calling women goddesses.
- Feminization, further along than in book one: leggings cut for women, being the only man in a yoga class, answering to "sweetheart" and "ladies" without correcting anyone, growing his hair, shaving his whole body below the neck, floral lotion, face cream and lip balm. Still no lingerie, dresses or makeup.
- Kneeling at home, of his own accord. Written instructions. Service.
- One day with his manager is deliberately not itemized in the text.
Emotional content
- Money pressure.
- Self-deception about why he does it.
- Guilt and emptiness after orgasm.
- Crying.
- Lying to a colleague who is also a friend.
- Being coldly dismissed by his director.
- Fear of being seen through the glass in a door at work.
- Losing track of time.
- Consent: he has agreed in advance to full surrender and trust. As the book goes on, more is done without asking, and his manager acts on her authority rather than asking. There is no physical force.
