Sophie shook her head. “Thanks, but I’ll get over it, it might just take a couple of days. I do appreciate the offer though.”
The two of them found they were so exhausted from jet lag when they entered the apartment that they immediately fell asleep, wrapped in each other’s arms in Alex’s bed.
The next day, when the alarm finally went off, Sophie wasn’t looking forward to going to work. She’d enjoyed her holiday in Italy, and if she’d been born into money wouldn’t have been against spending her life there, enjoying the dolce vita as opposed to going into the office. Well, I guess my life isn’t that bad she thought to herself as she watched Alex’s sculpted, naked body head towards the shower.
As soon as Sophie and Alex arrived at the office, work immediately took over. After all, Sophie had been gone for nearly two weeks, and she was astounded at how much she had missed, and how much work she had to catch up on.
For the next four hours, she worked closely with Alex to make sure everything got back to normal. Alex had called the German businessman they were supposed to meet to apologize, but still hadn’t gotten a response. “Oh well, there’s more money in the world than just his” was his reply when Sophie asked him about how he felt. Still, she felt guilty about having cost Alex so much money, and tried leaving another message with his secretary, just in case.
She spent the rest of the day organizing files, setting up meetings that had been put off and by the time she looked up at the clock, it was already four in the afternoon. Geez, no wonder my stomach’s been rumbling for the last hour. Sophie ran down to the cafeteria on one of the lower floors, grabbed a chicken wrap and a bottle of water, and came back up to finish her work.
An hour later, Sophie had to go pick up some files she had printed specially for a meeting that was scheduled for the following week. She grabbed her phone and her purse and told Alex she was going down to the printers, three blocks away.
“Are you sure you’re fine going by yourself?” he asked, a small wrinkle grazing his brow.
“Yeah, I’m fine thanks. I’ve been here all day, after all. I went down to the cafeteria before and grabbed some lunch and nothing went wrong.”
“Ok, well here, take this extra phone as well. We’ll go out and get you a new phone later to replace the one that’s currently in the police’s evidence locker.”
Sophie took the phone, thanking Alex. “I’ll be fine though. I promise.” Even as the words came out of her mouth, she hoped they were true.
She gave Alex a quick kiss then went down to street level. She paused for a moment, then went through the rotating doors and out onto the road.
As soon as she got outside, Sophie’s mind immediately saw everybody as being suspicious. She forced the thoughts from her head and began walking to the printers, a path she knew well. She kept her eyes focused on what was ahead of her, focused on taking everything one step at a time. Every time she passed someone, she wondered if they were going to grab her, but she forced herself to go through it.
Three minutes later, she walked into the store, breathing somewhat heavily, her heart pounding in her chest. I made it. I made it here safely. See? There was nothing to worry about. Making the walk from the office to the store, her first real walk by herself since her ordeal, made Sophie feel much more relaxed. She picked up the documents she printed, grabbed the bag, and headed back out onto the street.
This time, the people and the sounds weren’t so threatening. She made her way back to the office, smiling. She knew it would take some time before everything got perfectly back to normal, but she was getting to be more and more confident as she went outside.
Alex smiled at her when she entered his office once more. “Sophie, glad to see you made it back safely” he told her. She smiled back. “Thanks, it was fine. I got the files you wanted.”
“Fantastic. I figure if we put in another hour or two of work here we can head back to the house, I’ll call the chef and have him make something special to have ready when we get home.”
“That sounds great, thanks” Sophie replied before getting back to work.
Two hours later she was sitting at Alex Carey’s dining table, their meals lit by candles, both of them digging into the most beautifully moist roast chicken with truffle mashed potatoes that Sophie could have ever imagined.
She finally asked the question she’d ignored for a week, that Alex told her he would tell her eventually.
“Sir, who was it that kidnapped me?”
Alex put down his fork and looked hard at Sophie. “It was Johann Ulhmann” he replied softly.
Sophie was stunned. Ulhmann had been Alex’s business partner for years, until he had tried to sabotage Alex and with Sophie’s help they managed to get him kicked out of the business.
“Why?”
“To get to me, mainly. He had no idea that you had anything to do with this, he definitely didn’t know you were the main reason we managed to get him the way we did. He knew that I cared for you. After all, we have known each other for years, he knew the instant he saw us together that it was more than a boss and employee relationship, not to mention everything he would have seen and heard in my office when he had the cameras installed.”
“So he was the one who hired those two guys?”
Alex nodded. “After he was kicked off the board, it turned out he had burnt a lot of bridges in his personal life. He had a lot of trouble getting a job, and most of his net worth was tied up in the company. He sold a chunk of it, and apparently decided to use some of the money to get to me.”
“How did you find me?”
“When you disappeared, I knew it couldn’t be random. I thought about who it could be and called Ulhmann. He invited me to his house, and I went. He pretended not to know anything at all about Sophie, he pretended to be shocked, but I knew better. He still had the same phone as he used to have, and at one point I switched it with one I bought earlier, copying his contacts and settings over so that he wouldn’t notice anything different. Then, I went online and looked at the numbers he called. I knew when he called a no-name throwaway prepaid phone that I had hit the jackpot. I called the number, said I got it from a friend and had an offer for him, went and met the guy, pretended I needed a job done and said I’d be in touch, then had him followed.”
“How did the cops get involved?”
“Well they knew you had disappeared, and I told them about how I was tracking the person who had you. They gave me some advice, and they kept a tail on him as well. The instant they went to the abandoned building we knew that’s where you were. The cops came in and arrested the men, and I came up to find you.”
Sophie was stunned. “Wow, you went to all those lengths to find me.”
“Absolutely. There was nothing I wanted more than to have you safe in my arms. I’ll never forget the fear in my heart as I went through that building, worried that I’d find you hurt, or worse.”
Sophie asked a few more questions about what had happened when she had been taken, then they changed the topic as desert was brought out, a beautiful caramel apple tart.
When dinner was finished and they’d stopped talking, Sophie and Alex moved into the bedroom. After seeing his bare ass that morning Sophie was looking forward to getting more of him tonight. When they entered the bedroom, Sophie waited for his instruction, as she always did.
“Strip for me, slave” he ordered, lying down on the bed and enjoying the view as Sophie slipped off her clothes, the stress of the long work day falling to the floor along with the light fabrics of her skirt, blazer and blouse. When she finally unclasped her bra and let it fall to the floor, now standing completely naked, Sophie felt like a new woman.
“Good, now come lie next to me.”
“Yes Sir,” Sophie replied, complying immediately. She lay down next to her boss, who got up off the bed and went to the drawer where he kept all of their toys. He pulled out a large plug, black and shiny, Sophie immediately recognizing it as a butt plug, her eyes widening
. Although he’d taken her ass quite a few times before, Sophie still wasn’t quite used to having things inside that particular orifice, and she looked onto the big plug, with its wide girth, with a little bit of hesitation.
Alex noticed her eyes widen slightly and grinned. “Come on Sophie, you’ve taken much bigger than this in that hole.”
He moved over to her, the plug intimidating. Still, Sophie could feel the juices beginning to flow from her pussy as she looked forward to what tonight had to offer. Alex spread her legs wide open. “Lean back and relax” he told her, and Sophie did as she was told. She looked up at the ceiling, feeling the hard rubber against the lips of her pussy as Alex rubbed it in her juices, tingles of anticipation and nervousness running down her spine.
Finally, Alex moved the plug towards Sophie’s puckered hole, forcing more and more pressure upon her until finally her hole gave and the plug slid into her, Sophie letting out a small cry of pain.
Alex allowed her to get used to the sensations for a moment, the cool, different feeling of having something in her ass. Sophie had never gotten used to this feeling, this feeling of being so much fuller, of being completely taken over by what was inside of her. It hurt at first, but then the pain was replaced with a pleasure, pleasure that made her want more.
She didn’t have to wait long, as Alex was already undressing himself, his large shaft already erect and ready for her. He moved on top of Sophie, spreading her legs wider for easier access, rubbing his cock in her juices before pressing it up against her slit.
For a few moments he teased her, inserting only the tip of his hardness before pulling it back out again, causing small mewls of disappointment to flow from Sophie. Suddenly, he rammed into her, with one quick stroke inserting his whole cock deep into her pussy. Sophie moaned with pleasure as he began to piston in and out of her, finally giving her what she needed. She could feel the butt plug inside of her, filling her other hole completely as Alex’s cock filled her pussy.
Sophie eventually felt her orgasm coming on, the pressure inside of her slowly building stronger and stronger. The hard, fast thrusts combined with the extra sensations from the butt plug brought her to the edge of cumming, her cries getting louder and louder.
“Not yet, you have to enjoy this, slave” Alex told her as he noticed, slowing his pace down considerably and taking Sophie away from the edge. She moaned her disappointment.
“Please Sir, let me cum” she begged.
“Beg for it like you mean it, slave” came his reply.
“Please please, Sir, fuck me hard until I cum, I want to cum for you Sir” Sophie begged, and Alex began his quick thrusts once more.
They both came together, their cries of pleasure mingling into one as their bodies were. Sophie could feel her body tensing up, her asshole clenching on the plug in her ass while her pussy clenched on the cock in her pussy, pulsating hot seed deep inside of her. She was blown away as pleasure washed over her, coursing through every fiber of her body, making her wish the feelings would never end. Alex and Sophie clutched each other, each hanging on as though their lives depended on it as their respective orgasms ripped through them.
Finally, they collapsed together on the bed, enjoying each other’s company in post orgasmic bliss for a few moments before Alex got up and removed the plug from Sophie’s ass, eliciting a small cry of pain as it popped free. They fell asleep together, exhausted from residual jet lag and from the events of the day.

The next morning, when the limo was driving Sophie and Alex to work, Sophie got a call on her phone. It was the police; they wanted her to appear at the station in order to formally identify the two men who had kidnapped her. Sophie organized that they would meet in twenty minutes, just before 9am. “Do you want me to join you?” Alex asked her. “I can easily take the morning off work, it’s not a problem.”
Sophie appreciated the lie, she knew Alex had a million things on his plate, and shook her head. “It’s fine, thank you. I’ll be fine.”
The limo dropped Alex off at the office and took Sophie by herself to the police station. As soon as she walked in, she felt overwhelmed. It was a bustle of activity, but a nice officer quickly noticed her looking around and asked her what she needed. “I’m here to do a lineup, I have to identify some men that kidnapped me a couple of weeks ago.”
Five minutes later she was standing in a room, with a lineup of men being brought in. “Don’t worry, this is one-sided glass. You can see them, but they can’t see you” the officer told her as the men lined up, each holding a small white sign with a number. Sophie immediately recognized the one named Donny, who was, if it could be said, the kinder of the two. She pointed him out, the officer asked “are you sure” and Sophie answered “yes ma’am.”
The officer nodded and the men were taken out, another lineup brought in. Once more, it took Sophie only seconds to recognize the other man, the one whose name she didn’t know.
“Number three.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes ma’am.”
Same as the last time. The officer thanked Sophie for her time, told her someone would be in touch as the investigation continued, as Sophie would be required to testify at the men’s trials, and five minutes later Sophie was on her way once more.
She called the car and was driven back to the office, thinking about what had happened to her. All of a sudden, Sophie was hit with a sudden, inexplicable rage. What the hell? Why am I so angry all of a sudden? Sophie didn’t know why she felt this way, but she did know she wanted to scream. She wanted to cry out, she wanted to jump out of the car and punch something. When the car finally pulled up in front of the office, Sophie knew she had to take a few minutes to calm down. I can’t fucking believe those fucking assholes thought they could kidnap me. I hope they rot in jail for the rest of their fucking lives she thought to herself as she walked around outside for a few minutes. What kind of despicable, disgusting excuse for a human being does that to someone else?
After five minutes, Sophie thought she had calmed down sufficiently, and decided to go to work. She said hi to Alex, who asked her how it went, and was satisfied with Sophie’s answer of “It was fine, Sir, thank you.” She immediately sat down at her desk and went over what she had to do for the day. She went through her messages, and realized that they had still heard nothing back from the Germans.
“Sir, have you heard anything from the gentleman from Frankfurt?” she asked Alex, in case he had bypassed her completely.
“No, Sophie, I haven’t. From what I’ve heard it’s not worth going after him. The man is very much all about keeping appointments, efficiency, that sort of thing. I’m quite certain that it’s pointless to try and reschedule.”
“But that portfolio could have been worth millions of dollars” Sophie protested.
Alex smiled. “Maybe. But you’re worth far more than that to me. I’m fine with how things turned out, so don’t worry about it Sophie.”
She nodded and went back to her work. Despite his assurances, Sophie wasn’t satisfied in the least. After all, it was because of her that he had missed the flight, because of her that he wasn’t going to get those millions of dollars. I sure as hell am not a billionaire, but I don’t want to be responsible for costing Alex money she thought to herself. She looked at the clock. It was just after 10am. That meant it was three in the afternoon in Frankfurt.
Sophie picked up the phone and called the number she had for the German’s secretary. After six rings, it went to voicemail. Sophie didn’t leave a message. A minute later, Alex got up. “I have to go take care of some stuff with legal and PR, seeing as there’s going to be a lot of commentary about Ulhmann soon. I should be back within the hour, you have my number if you need anything.”
“Thank you Sir, I should be fine here” Sophie answered, shooting him a quick smile as he left. She looked at the phone and made up her mind. There was no way she was going to let this slide.
Sophie picked up the recei
ver once more and called Germany again. Once more, her call was ignored. She hung up the phone without leaving a message, then immediately picked it back up and hit redial.
For over five minutes, Sophie called the German’s secretary over and over and over, thinking surely she must be tired of hearing her phone ringing by now. Finally, the woman picked up. “Ja?” she answered.
“Hello, this is Sophie from Alex Carey’s office.”
“Oh, ja, hello” the lady replied with a thick German accent. She certainly didn’t sound thrilled to be hearing from Sophie.
“I’m calling to see if I can reschedule the appointment Mr Carey had scheduled with Mr. Fehrmann.”
“I’m sorry, but Mr. Fehrmann was insulted when Mr Carey did not appear at the initial meeting they had scheduled, and he is no longer interested in working with Mr Carey.”
“Please, please ask him to reconsider” Sophie begged. “Mr Carey was faced with a personal emergency and was unable to make the appointment through no fault of his own. The plane tickets were booked, I can send you proof that Mr Carey had every intention of coming to the meeting.”
“Mr Fehrmann has decided to meet with another financial expert instead miss”
“If he’s only meeting with him then, he hasn’t made up his mind. Mr Carey is by very far the best investment banker in New York, his track record is unparalleled, could you please at least ask Mr. Fehrmann if he would be willing to give Mr Carey another chance at a meeting? It would be not only kind to a man who went through a very tough personal problem, but it would also be the most intelligent business move he could make.”
This last pitch seemed to sway the secretary somewhat. Sophie suspected her desperate tone had something to do with it as well, despite her outwardly somewhat cooler demeanor, the lady seemed somewhat sympathetic to Sophie’s pleas. “I will speak with Mr. Fehrmann, and I will call you when I have spoken to him. I make no guarantees, but perhaps he will be able to make a few minutes for Mr. Carey.”
“Thank you, thank you SO MUCH” Sophie gushed.
“I will call you back shortly” the secretary replied before hanging up. Sophie was so excited, she almost did a little dance in the middle of the room, but instead satisfied her excitement by spinning around in her chair a few times.
