In the sport of wrestling, when one opponent forces both shoulders of the other wrestler onto the mat, it is known as "pinning", and constitutes a win.
If he pinned her down on the bed, he forced her on her back, and prevented her from moving. Using a word from wrestling, the author is indicating that he was not gentle with her.
