LOS ANGELES – Deeper has announced the release of Higher Power, a new scene featuring popular mainstream actress Maitland Ward, known for her work in television shows and films like Boy Meets World, The Bold and the Beautiful and White Chicks.

Described as a “dark drama about addiction, manipulation and the cunning wiles of beautiful predators,” the scene was released Monday, December 23, 2019, timed to coincide with the Deeper.com Holiday Sale.

Directed by Deeper founder Kayden Kross, the interracial scene “spotlights the striking redhead and co-star Pressure against the backdrop of a Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting where Ward targets her vulnerable prey,” according to the studio.

“This is hands down the best performance I’ve ever captured, both in terms of acting and sex,” Kross said. “Maitland is in a class of her own. I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with her. What she is capable of on-camera has broadened what I am capable of from behind camera.”

Ward was equally effusive in her praise of the scene – and Kross’ skill in creating it.

“I’ve waited my entire career to deliver words like this,” Ward said. “The script Kayden crafted is so dark and twisted and delicious. Under her guidance, I got to places emotionally and sexually I never knew possible.” Ward added that everything in the scene is “authentic and raw and primal, and yet at the same time so erotically, dangerously beautiful.”

“Kayden is that rare director who can effectively and artistically capture both,” Ward said.

The new vignette is another addition to the growing library of Deeper scenes featuring Ward, who made her debut with the studio earlier this year in the feature film Drive and a three-way scene called Denial.
