"Jeremy, I think you'll like our latest acquisition. You know her. Or you should. You went to school together." The boss sat on the corner of the desk and watched Jeremy for a reaction. When Jeremy only arched an eyebrow, the boss shifted slightly, disappointed and continued, "Sara Ann Birdsdale."
Jeremy smiled but forced his body to remain in the same casual pose. He couldn't count her as the one who got away because she was never his to begin with. But he remembered her. Smart and a goody two shoes. He'd always had a crush on Sara Ann. Or at least lusted after her. There was something about her that had always made him want to shove her against a wall and fuck her. He had spent five crazy years in middle and high school itching after her. Five years of frustration, and almost perpetual hard-ons before they caught him that final time.
"I remember her. What did she do?" He knew his voice was betraying his interest but didn't care. He'd deal with the repercussions later.
Happy with even the slight response, the boss conceded, "She's a Project Manager at Alcon Technologies. Rumor has it that her team created the new NSA encryption standard. I want that algorithm. It's worth a lot of money to the right people. We've got one of her employees but he only knows part of the algorithm. We'll need her access code to get into the server room."
That made sense. She had been a nerd and into computers, back before computers were cool. Jeremy remembered locking her floppy disk once during a BASIC programming class. The glare she'd given him was withering, but then she'd broken the password without looking. Just one, two, and she was in.
"Ok." Jeremy got up to leave, turning for the door.
"You know her. Is that a problem?"
"Knew. I knew her." When he glanced back at the boss, his smile was a little darker. "And no, that won't be a problem."
******
She could tell someone was watching her. She couldn't see through the blindfold and the gag kept her from asking but she could feel their eyes on her skin. A door closed gently and she heard the click of the lock. Sara could hear breathing and thought there was only one other person in the room.
Wait for the moment she told herself. Wait until you know what they want and where you are. It's Friday evening and if you don't show up at the function tomorrow, work will know something's wrong. Just last 24 hours. That's all. 24 hours. You can do that Sara. She repeated the mantra over and over in her head, trying desperately to block the little voice perpetually whispering "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit."
Footsteps sounded in front of her and circled to her right. They were slow and measured, sounding dull against the floor. Her own feet were cold from the floor. Her abductors had taken her heels when they tied her ankles to the chair. She could feel the rough texture and thought it was cement. So she was most likely in a basement or warehouse. She cocked her head to listen as the footsteps continued behind her and came closer.
"Sara Ann Birdsdale."
She started when the speaker's breath fanned her hair. She hadn't known he was that close to her.
"It's been a long time. Although I doubt you remember."
She felt a whisper light touch trail up her right arm. Her hands were bound behind the chair thrusting her shoulders and chest out. The ghost touch caught slightly on her silk shirt, scrunching it, then continued to her neck before she turned her face away just slightly. The hand whipped away.
Jeremy seethed. Even blindfolded and at his complete mercy Sara Ann was still rebuffing him. Just like back in school.
Sara concentrated on breathing slowly and deeply as he stalked the room. His steps were harder, angry sounding now, and her breath hitched. He, whoever he was, smelled good, masculine, with a hint of cinnamon on his breath. She was ashamed of noticing but she tried to imprint the scent in her memory anyway. Maybe if she got out of this alive that smell could help her identify him. She still didn't know why they had taken her. One minute she was unlocking the door to her place and the next something hit her from behind. Hands shoved her inside her place and the door slammed shut while was she was busy trying to process what was happening. When they slipped a bag over her head, it startled her into fighting. But multiple hands held her, then there was a sharp prick in her arm and darkness. When Sara awoke she was in this room, being tied to the chair.
A small sound across the room refocused her. It sounded like the scrape of chair across the floor and then a creak as he sat in front of her.
"We need some information from you. Not much, just a little bit and then we'll let you go and you can forget this ever happened." Cool fingers brushed her cheek and she tossed her head trying to shake them but the fingers only lowered the gag. "I just need a few details about your office. Your access code."
"I can't." She knew the quiver in her voice betrayed her fear.
"You can. And you will." The voice was flat. Like it didn't really matter to him; like the outcome was a forgone conclusion. "It's just a matter of time. And how much this has to hurt."
Sara drew in a shaky breath at that. As soon as he mentioned work she'd known what this was about. But to hear him casually mention hurting her... she bit her lip trying to stop the tears. Adrenaline pulsed through her veins urging her to choose fight or flight, but flight wasn't an option. And Sara wasn't sure she could fight. She was already trembling. She started repeating her mantra – 24 hours. Surely she could resist for 24 hours.
"I don't want to hurt you." The voice paused, considering. "Well...actually that's not true."
Jeremy caressed her cheek gently, then slid his hand a few inches down until it circled her throat. His fingers spread over her shoulder and dug in, anchoring his thumb over the divot where her throat met her collarbone. There was just enough pressure to remind her she was completely defenseless against him and her pulse spiked with the contact. He moved his thumb slightly to the side and pressed harder, making sure she felt the pressure against her wind pipe. Her skin was softer than he remembered. She gave in to his thumb and bowed her head into her shoulder. He knew it was an automatic gesture trying to lessen the pressure, but that didn't stop the spike of pleasure that arched through him.
"Just a few pounds of pressure and you would die gasping for air." Voice purposefully rough, Jeremy massaged her neck making sure she understood exactly where that pressure would be applied. "But that's not what I want. I want to strip you bare. I want to hang you on a cross and play with you until you beg me to fuck you. I want to see you squirm when I slam my cock into you. I want to hear you cry out in pain, and hear you scream my name when you surrender to me. You'll beg for me for me to stop and you'll beg for me to go harder. Faster." The words came easy; all he had to do was describe the fantasies that had been playing constantly in his mind since the boss had said her name.
"When you cum, it'll be my name that tumbles you over. But I want you to beg me to touch you first. It'll be my hands on your body and my cock pumping into you but only you cry for me. I want to make sure every inch of you knows that you belong to me."
Sara fought against the lure of that voice and those words, trying to concentrate on remembering the details but his other hand slid onto her knee and squeezed lightly. She tried to close her legs but couldn't; the ropes on her ankles kept them just slightly apart. Sara hated her vulnerability. She could feel the pressure of his palm through her jeans and knew she was responding to the warmth of his touch. His fingers were splayed, covering the inside of her leg. They slid higher no matter how she tried to stop them. As his hand neared the top of her thigh, her breath stuttered. Almost involuntarily she sucked in her stomach, like that would buy her an extra inch. She tried to focus on something else but her mind was trapped by the sensation of his fingers circling her neck and the creep of his hand.
He'd said pain, but his hand inched higher, promising something other than thumbscrews and waterboarding. Sara knew she was in so much trouble. When his hands paused, she held her breath but he wasn't done.
He brushed a hand over her crotch, and pushed in with his thumb, rubbing through the jeans. Sara's hips bucked at the touch. Then the thumb on her throat began rubbing in the same languorous pace. Her nibbles hardened and Sara groaned. After a few seconds of attention her hips shifted forward seeking the pressure of his thumb. She couldn't see it, but she was tilting her head back too, just slightly, baring her neck to his attentions. When the thumb on her clit stilled for a moment she made a distressed little cry.
Jeremy smiled. It seemed that she didn't mind his hands quite so much.
"But that's for later. After you talk to me, Sara Ann." He watched her breathing deepen in fear and smiled.
"Sara. My name is Sara." Her voice squeaked on the first word. She was going to try to play this tough. That was OK by Jeremy, he liked it rough.
"I want to keep you for a while, so let's make sure of that, hmmm? Fortunately, your cell phone was in your purse. Let's see. Laura. You text Laura a lot. Is she a coworker?"
"No. Laura's not a coworker. Leave her alone! Please! Laura is just someone I know. She's no one. She doesn't know anything."
"What would you do to protect her, Sara Ann?" Jeremy grabbed her hair and jerked her head back drawing a gasp from her. Forcing her chin to the side, he licked her neck then bit the flesh of her earlobe. Trailing his lips over her cheek, he whispered against her lips, "Would you blow me? Suck my dick until I came? Would you swallow?"
He pulled on her hair harder until her back arched and she whimpered in pain. "Come on, Sara Ann. Tell me what you would do to protect your friend." Releasing her jaw he grabbed her breast and dug his fingers into until she screamed. Licking the tears off her cheek, Jeremy smiled. "You're not going to make this easy. I like that."
He released her and the chair creaked as he sat down in front of her again.
