Getting Ahead
Getting Ahead shows how some employees use sex in the workplace to get ahead in their companies, to get raises, or just to get laid! Newcomer Bruce Hill spies on Ian Anderson giving his boss Dom Sinclair a roll in the warehouse in order to earn a raise. Bruce then uses the same ploy on his boss, young and buff Jordan Austin with excellent results. (Bruce has never bottomed before and it shows and sounds like it too!) Using sex to get ahead on the job doesn't always work, however, Michael Vista finds this lesson out when his boss Chaz Carlton belatedly informs him that it was his last day on the job only after they have sex! Finally, superstar Chad Conners takes Bruce's old job and takes on Bruce's old boss, yummy Jordan Austin, back in the company warehouse! (It's been more than 2 years since Chad "bottom'd" on-screen, so his fans will go wild for this segment!
