He Gave It To Me Synopsis

“HE GAVE IT TO ME” is a look into the lives of three very different women as they embark on dates with three guys. Each story tells of the excitement shared as they spent intimate moments with these guys. Though these ladies are different in many ways they seem to have one thing in common which may cost these ladies their reputations, health, and maybe even their lives.

Nikki is a young, very pretty, college girl. Although Nikki is very bright she is finding herself intrigued and even manipulated by her idea of whom she thinks Victor is based on his appearance and academic accomplishments. As the two share a very intimate moment after their ice cream date, Nikki later finds out that her prince charming wasn’t so charming after all.

Zoe’ is an attractive model who is very much in the limelight. She finds herself the center of attention everywhere she goes. While out with her girls, she meets Mike and his teammates, who were celebrating the winning their championship game. Not only is she overly eager to spend time with Mike, she finds herself attempting to hold back while really wanting to let it all hang out. Surprisingly enough he invites her out the next day and she ends up with more than she bargained for.

Jessica is a very mature lady who is has accomplished all her professional goals. She is so confident with herself that nothing, not even a man, can bring her down off of her high horse. Jessica is a successful attorney and partner to her unforeseen love interest James. Jessica and James have been partners for many years while practicing law. After winning a case that they both had worked tirelessly on, they go off to celebrate with drinks that opens up another case that can’t be closed.

“HE GAVE IT TO ME” is a drama for all men and women who have trusted someone based on looks or accomplishments or by knowing them for many years. It is a dramatic journey through the stories of Nikki, Zoe’, and Jessica as they allow their hearts, emotions, and hormones to lead them on a journey that will forever change their lives.
