Though initially doubtful, Sophia had taken to it like a fish takes to water. She had never imagined in her wildest dreams that she would be liked to misused in such way. It was like losing control and though she never liked doing that in life, with a stranger and even with Trey she liked to relinquish all control, especially over her body and her mind. She didn’t want to plan, she didn’t want to be in charge, and she didn’t want to think. She wanted to be subordinated and subjugated; for once she wanted to be told what to do.
Sophia still remembered the first time Trey had suggested it to her, they were on vacation and it was a little after a year after they had got married. It had been the third day for them on the beach in Acapulco and Trey mentioned about an elderly man who had been eyeing her for all these days. Sophia had dismissed it, she knew she was attractive and most of the men on the beach were eyeing her. But she gave in because Trey liked how the man looked. He said that the man had a certain personality, something in him made it dirty to be associated with him. Trey liked the way he looked at Sophia; it was simply just not undressing her with his eyes. He seemed to have a plan for her.
The three of them did get together that day. It was funny; Sophia never came to know that person’s name. She just remembered that she had her hair plaited on both sides and they reached below her breasts. She had acquired a lovely tan on the beach and that it offset her auburn hair rather attractively. She remembered she was wearing the black bikini she had bought at one of the beach shacks. She remembered how she was turned on when she saw herself in the mirror. Her plump tits hanging down, spilling out of the small piece of clothing that was supposed to hold it back. Her erect nipples showed through the flimsy material.
She remembered the urgency in Trey and how he felt different that day and she remembered how it went on for hours. The memories had almost blurred but then sometimes her memory used to get flooded with the smell of the room which smelled of sex. She had allowed Trey to do everything to her, in front of another man, she felt humiliated and she remembered that the other man had watched everything while he jerked off.
As she sat on the Trey’s enormous shaft heaving up and down with her tits swaying in their own rhythm she looked into Trey’s eyes and she saw a weird mix of lust and love in them.
The experience was unnerving and titillating at the same time and for many days after that it replayed in their minds and acted as a fodder for their sexual experience. But though they enjoyed the episode immensely, they never really got another chance to do it. They never came across a suitable man again. Or maybe they became too busy.
Trey often thought about that vacation and he didn’t know why but whenever he stood near this window this particular memory flooded back. But today it was getting interrupted by the thought of the damned deal. Too much was at stake! The thought of the deal brought Trey back to the present, so much depended on it he thought and Trey didn’t even want to think what would happen if it didn’t get through. It all depended on Sophia right now. But how could he make her understand how important it was without telling her everything? Trey was interrupted by a knock on the door of his office.
Sophia stepped in “Did I disturb you?” she sounded cheerful.
Trey just smiled, Sophia always made him feel better no matter what the situation. She somehow always had a solution for everything. As she walked over to him, Trey noticed that she was wearing the black skirt she had bought last week. “It’s a man magnet Sophia!” he remembered exclaiming as she stepped out of the trial room. Sophia had an ample ass and the well-tailored skirt simply accentuated her heavy bottom. It tapered off at the end to expose her shapely legs and on the top, it rode up quite high in the process squeezing her midriff and then allowing her breasts full freedom to fall. Trey imagined in her head how Sophia would look wearing just the skirt, but he had to stop himself immediately realizing he was getting an immense hard on.
Sophia stepped through the door and walked over to Trey and gave him a long kiss, Trey had to try hard to keep his hands from clutching hold of her ass. “Mmmm, you are smelling nice” he murmured into her ears, Sophia giggled, this always made her ticklish.
“So how’s the preparation going for the pitch tomorrow?” he asked her
“I guess it’s good” Sophia said as she supported herself on the table “but I need to know a little more about the client” she exclaimed toying with a pen.
“I don’t know much about who will be coming tomorrow but I met Mr. Takeshi and I am guessing he will be coming accompanied by two of his senior officials. Maybe a max of three, definitely not more. He is a perfect gentleman but he is a stickler for details. So make sure you have everything at your finger tips. Are you feeling confident?”
Sophia knew this deal would catapult Trey to another level but she saw a hint of nervousness in him which he had never seen before. She was also surprised that Trey seemed a little hesitant to discuss the details with her like other times. They usually had long discussions and decided on the process of approaching a deal but this time it seemed different, Trey seemed a little distant and lost.
“What was different this time?” Sophia thought to herself
***
Trey could hardly sleep that night; he had got a call that night that had really shaken him up. The loan sharks were getting desperate for the money and Trey was worried that one of them just might drop into his office or worse still at his home one of these days. He tossed and turned all night long and not even a sleeping pill got him a continuous period of rest. He woke up intermittently and Sophia woke up to ask him if everything was alright and he had to reassure her that everything was fine. The night seemed endless and the morning never seemed to be arriving and when at last it did Trey did not feel up to facing it.
Sophia was already up that morning; she had made breakfast, taken a quick shower and was getting ready. She chose a navy blue pin striped fitted pant suit and a platinum chain to go with it. She brushed her long hair and tied it up in a messy hairdo and finished it off with a slight hint of blush and a spritz of her favorite perfume. She liked the minimum or no makeup look. She turned around and found Trey sitting up in bed staring at her. She walked up to him and said,
“Well, will this impress your client?”
“I’m sure it will,” said Trey, “but you need to impress me first” he said pulling her towards him. And though Sophia protested especially regarding her makeup getting spoilt and her dress getting creased Trey would hear nothing of it.
As they lay in bed spent, Sophia complained, “Now I’ve got to get ready all over again”
Trey lit a cigarette, “That you had to do anyway”
“Why?” she asked
“Because that suit does not suit you”
“Oh no, not again Trey, please don’t ask me to wear that skirt again, I’ve already worn it twice this week”
Trey took a long draw from the cigarette and let out a long puff before saying anything “Come on sweetheart, please me for once!”
“Oh, so who do I please except you?”
“Who knows, we hardly get to spend any time together nowadays” Trey complained jokingly
“Ohhh baby, let’s get this pitch done and then we’ll take a long break”
“Something by the sea? Something like last time?” said Trey with a hint of a smile
“Maybe and maybe something a little bit more!” teased Sophia “But first you should get up and get that shower done.”
Trey was feeling good already, he at least had Sophia with him and as long as she was there he was sure he could overcome anything. When he got out to get ready, Sophia had changed into the skirt and seeing her perfectly round and meaty butt, Trey had the urge to take her again but he restrained himself.
“Trey, breakfast is ready. You’d better come down. We don’t want to be late today of all days. I need to brief my team as well” Sophia hurried down as Trey started getting ready.
Sophia had laid out the dress he was going to wear
and as he put them on he thought about his meeting with Mr. Takeshi. Their meeting last month in Tokyo had gone off quite well and Trey was hopeful that if the meeting today could end on a same note then that would certainly be a reason to celebrate. Trey finished tying a Windsor knot and went downstairs for breakfast.
He was feeling apprehensive again and gulped down his breakfast not sure what he had eaten. Sophia usually left earlier for office than Trey but that day they were to go together. As they left the front door for their car, Trey realized that he had not taken the key for the car.
“I’ll get it” Sophia could see Trey was under considerable amount of stress, but she didn’t want to make him conscious about it. She knew Trey would be fine, once the meeting started. She got the keys, and handed them to Trey.
“Thank you darling”
“Trey, are you sure you are not forgetting anything else?”
“Absolutely sure, now get in the car, we will be late if we don’t start now”
Mrs. Cooper, personal secretary to both Trey and Sophia was a very efficient woman. She had been with them for a little over 6 years now and both of them depended on her for almost everything, and she never failed.
Just as Trey and Sophia walked in through the reception, Mrs. Cooper said “Mr. Robson I hope you got the papers signed that I reminded…”
“Oh shit” Trey remembered listening to the voice message from Mrs. Cooper, signing the papers and then leaving them on the breakfast table. He looked at Sophia with a guilty face and Sophia looked at him exasperated, she knew she had to drive back to get it.
“I asked you if you were forgetting anything a million times” Sophia told Trey when Mrs. Cooper was out of earshot.
“I know, I’m sorry, I was a bit pre-occupied. Please, baby”
“Yeah, yeah, I know I have to go. But you understand right, that I am getting no time to prepare my team!”
Trey started to say something but was cut short midway by Sophia “No and there is no way you can help.” Saying this Sophia walked off, a little annoyed. But as soon as she left the building she felt bad for being rude with Trey, she thought of giving him a call but then she glanced at her watch and decided on talking to him when she got back to office.
The drive back to her home was a good half an hour and even though she kept on the fast lane it did take her nearly an hour on the whole journey. As she reached the parking lot of the office, she saw a man parking his car in the parking lot reserved for her. She was annoyed that the parking attendant had not informed the man; she stopped just behind the car and got out. The man who was driving the car coincidentally also got out at the same time.
“Which office does he belong to?” Sophia wondered to herself and as she walked towards the man, the man turned around.
“You seem to have taken my place”
“Pardon me?” the pronunciation was immaculate, something Sophia hadn’t heard in a long time.
“You have parked in my parking lot”
“Well is your name then ‘Reserved for TrueCorp’?”
“Well, well is that his idea of being funny?” thought Sophia to herself. “Well, take this then”
“No, but the name is given by me” she said a little challengingly.
The man seemed to think something to himself. He bit his lower lip, nodded and without another word got in his car, started the ignition and reversed out. All this while Sophia was standing with her arms folded in front, she felt furious, with herself for losing her cool so easily. What had happened to her that day, first Trey and now this man? Feeling a little ashamed with herself she got into her car and drove into the parking area. Gathering all the papers and double checking her car, Sophia made sure she didn’t leave behind anything. She looked at her watch and hurried towards the elevator and prayed that Mr. Takeshi comes a little late.
“Damn, why does this lift have to be stuck in the basement for so long?” she knew she was being unreasonable, but her hands were becoming damp with anticipation and she needed to be in her office for some time to gather her thoughts.
The elevator soon arrived and opened packed with people and she was alarmed to note it also had Adam Seller. According to Sophia he was the most obnoxious man on earth. He worked in a law firm a floor above them and while on other days Sophia would have definitely given the elevator a miss to avoid him, she did not have a choice today. So she got in and squeezed herself in one corner to avoid him, Adam was an expert groper and was well known amongst the female crowd in their office. The ride up seemed the longest that day and with a halt at each floor it nearly doubled the time. The elevator was a deep one and it was easy to remain hidden in the front if someone was right at the back. The only problem was that as the other office goers got off on each floor and the elevator got emptier Adam seemed to be moving closer to her.
As the elevator reached the ninth floor almost the entire elevator got empty and Sophia felt alarmed because Adam had gotten dangerously close to her. She thought “I don’t want this today!” But when she felt his hand brush against her butt she knew she had to tell him something but as she turned around suddenly a tall figure came in to obstruct her view. She could not see who it was as she was just up to his chest level. “Excuse me” he said to Adam and seemed to purposely stand between Adam and Sophia, as if to shield her. As he pulled up his hand it brushed lightly on Sophia’s breasts. Sophia turned up to look and saw it was the same man whom she had met at the parking lot. It was an uncomfortable position; she had been rude to the man who had silently protected her from a pervert. She started thinking “Should I tell him a thank you, or should I start with a sorry?”
“This is the tenth floor” the automated voice in the elevator informed that her floor had arrived and Sophia had never been so glad at having arrived at her office. She wanted to get off that elevator as soon as possible. But as she stepped out she noticed the man also stepping out with her. Since the entire tenth floor was occupied by their office, so was this man going to their office? Neither did Sophia want to get off now, nor could she stay on in the elevator. So she got off and without giving it a second thought as to what she was doing she let herself out of the fire escape and there she stood in the stairs cursing herself about her luck and her stupidity.
****
Sophia waited in the stairs of the fire escape and counted to a hundred, she thought that would be a safe buffer for her to enter the office without bumping into the man. Then she started thinking
“Why did I behave this way? Why did I have to come and stand here?” Sophia felt like her silly teenage self again. As she walked in through the reception and walked towards her office she tried to see if she could see the man anywhere, but he was nowhere to be seen. “It was ridiculous to act scared of a stranger in my own office!” What just happened to her? She was feeling nervous, but of what? Her heart was beating faster, but she didn’t know why. There was reason to be embarrassed a little but behaving like a schoolgirl was no excuse.
Sophia handed the papers to Mrs. Cooper and quickly went inside her office. Though she had wanted to say sorry to Trey first, she thought she would leave it till later in the day.
Once inside the walls of her office, Sophia felt she could breathe again. She took a few breaths in, cleared her thoughts and composed herself and she wondered “So who is that person? I didn’t see him inside anywhere. Has he left already?” She thought she would ask Mrs. Cooper but as she was about to call her, there was a knock on the door and Mrs. Cooper came in,
“The meeting begins in, exactly seven minutes Mrs. Robson. Is there anything you need?”
“Seven minutes!! Holy crap!” thought Sophia alarmed now
“Have they all arrived?”
“Yes, some time ago. In fact Mr. Robson is with them right now in the conference room.”
“Thank you Mrs. Cooper, could you do me a favor?”
“Yes, sure!” Mrs. Cooper exclaimed sounding a little surprised, that’s what she was there for!
&n
bsp; “Could you please assemble my team here in my office as soon as possible? It’s urgent! I have about five minutes before the meeting starts and I’d like to talk to them first.”
Mrs. Copper left immediately to summon her team members and Sophia started getting ready with her presentation.
******
As Sophia walked towards the conference room with her team, she felt positive, upbeat and self-assured; she needed that small pep talk with her team to get her back on the track.
She stopped outside the conference room door and knocked twice before stepping in and taking in the room. The conference room was a long rectangular shaped room with the length side stretching in front of her. The table was also designed to make best use of the long space. There were a total of five people seated in the room including Trey who was seated at the head of the table at the far end. Opposite to him on the other end of the table with his back towards Sophia sat another man and three other men flanked him on either sides.
