TOSS OR KEEP.
The King and Queen
At the dining table of the one of the most luxury hotel suite, two people, a man and a woman, sat across from each other. They both were at the each end of the polished dark brown oak table, staring each other, reading each other, but giving on nothing. The man, with his expensive michael kors black suit, lean back in his chair with his arms folded, his legs was crossed by the knee, just staring back at the woman inches away from him. She was wearing a beauty silk flower dress that barely reached her knee, with a white jimmy choos heels. Her ankles was crossed and she looked patiently at the dominant man at across from her.
Anastasia Steele
Looking at the amazing view of downtown Seattle, Anastasia Steele can't help but smile. She is very please with her new office. It is big and open. And by big, it is a huge about half of the whole floor of a twenty-story business building. Because of her most trusted assistant, Hannah Johnson, her office is furnished with high grade office supplies from pens to upgraded sofa and center table. A beautiful large L-shaped table with her flat screen Apple monitor with keyboard and mouse on it. Anastasia is standing behind her black leather chair admiring her office. She smiles at the setting of her new workplace.
Anastasia is please with her work changes. Four years ago, if someone told her that she own a billion dollar business, Steele Media and Publishing, she would laugh right in the face. Four year after graduating from Stanford University with a major in Business and English Lit. She started her own small Publishing company with the dream of just reading. She made her publishing worldwide where authors from the world, Europe, south america and asian. She goes from publishing world-class authors to creating world-class authors after she invested in the media. Today, Anastasia Steele is known as the Queen in the Business. She is the sole owner of her fourteen billion dollar company and a majority owner of most of the media in the U.S, Europe and Asian. From music, news to fashion. Choosing Seattle as the location of main headquarter of SMP is hard decision. Anastasia has been all over the world, investing in hotels. However, she wanted to be closer to her father and his new family. Vancouver is big but small for her and her company, so Seattle come in close.
Ana looks up at her two-way exit door when she hears a knock. "Come in."
The door open and her head of security slash CPO Lucas Sawyer walks in. He wears his black suit and black sunglasses. Ana points at the black chair facing her desk. They both took a seat.
"Sawyer, how is the security?" Ana starts.
"Great, Ms. Ana, everything is ready and installed. Joe got the firewall all updated, we are good to go." Sawyer says politely.
Ana smiles. "Great, all is left is Jose coming here and we are officially move in. Tell me what do you think of the place."
"It is great, Security is easier here and I think that move closer to your family is amazing idea." Sawyer smiles at her.
Ana nods. Before she could say anything, she gets interrupted by her assistant Hannah, "Excuse me, Ms. Ana, I just got off the phone with the realtor, he said he have three properties for you to look at."
"Thank you, where is he right now?" Ana asks.
"He is at the first house. I have the address and I will sent to Sawyer." Hannah answers. Sawyer nods when she look at him. "I have to driver pull up your at the front door waiting for you."
"Okay, let's go." Ana smiles to the two. "And Hannah once you are finished you can go home."
"But Ms. Ana."
Ana shakes her head. "No, SMP is not the only one moving, manny employee are moving too. I know you already have a house with your family here. You can go and help out your family once you're done."
Hannah smiles at her. "Thank you."
Ana nods. She gets up and make her way to Hannah pats her on her back and walks to her coat closet took out her black long designer coat and make her way out of the her office place to the executive lobby. On her right is her assistant's office and a few walks from the office is her second in command Jose Rodriguez's office, which door is closed for now. Ana walked past the large conference room to the hallway offices which is either empty and close or fill with people packing in. Ana walks like a runaway model with her jimmy choos ankles boot to the elevator with Sawyer close behind her. Sawyer press the first floor. In minutes the door open to the large busy lobby of SMP. they watch as a movers move a boxes passing them to the service elevator. There were people walking around, busy with the move.
They walks around the chaos in the lobby. Sawyer opens the backseat of a lexus SUV for Ana, who smiles at him and gets in.
The drive to the first house is thirty minutes from her work. It would have been shorter but it is about one in the afternoon, so Seattle is still in the rush hour. Sawyer drives to an isolated property where there is a gated mansion. He pulls up to the black colored barred gate. He drives up the long driveway to the huge three story mansion. Ana gets out her car and looks up to the the mansion.
She sighs and looks sadly to the realtor, who is already sweating buckets, "Is there a problem? Ms. Steele." the realtor said.
Ana looks at him "it's too big."
"You wanted a mansion." he said.
She shakes her head and says in a her hard CEO voice. "I wanted a nice big house, with the a price of a quarter million." she looks up again. "This is not a $250,000 mansion. And I'm sure I can afford it but I don't want. There are small mansion for me, thus I don't have a hotel anymore! So, I am going back to the hotel and tomorrow you will find a small mansion, are we clear?!"
The realtor nods in fear. "I'm sorry for your time." he reponses , which made Ana scoffs and turn back to the her car.
The realtor watchs until the car disappear to the road. Then he breathe again. I have a lot of work to do, she didn't even see the other two. He thought.
After her little outburst, she feels a little guilty. The man looked like he was about to faint of lack of oxygen. I don't need to feel guilty for that. It's his fault for not following my simple order. Her CEO-self scoffs. Which made Ana feel a lot better. She took out her iphone and starts call her best friend, Katherine Kavanagh, who lives in Seattle.
"Hello anna-bear." She answers on the third ring. "what's up?"
"Hey yourself. Are you at work?" Ana asks.
"No. called in sick. One of the advantage of having your family owning where you work." Ana smiles at her comment. "You?"
"I'm done. This week is about unpacking and settling in, it's Friday and I basically got everybody a time off. Which means that I'm off too?" Ana says looking out the window of Seattle's highway.
"So you're off right now?" Kate asks, sitting up the living room sofa.
"Yep." Ana sighs.
"Then we can go serious shopping. Get you a whole new clothes for your huge closet?" Kate squeals.
"I don't have any closets in Seattle yet."
"Who cares, we are going shopping, come here and pick me up." Kate orders and hangs up, which made Ana smiles. Sawyer was almost at the Heathman hotel.
"Sawyer, we are not going to the hotel." Ana says.
"Where will you like to go Ms. Ana?" Sawyer asks.
"Kate's apartment. We are going to pick her up and going shopping at Totokaelo Mall." Ana explain. Sawyer nods in understanding and drive to Kate's apartment. On the way there, Ana's phone rings. She looked at the caller and smiles.
"Hey, Jose. How is it going?"
"Oh Great, I am done with the transfer, as you may know. Seattle is officially our homebase now. I am now getting in your private jet right now coming to Seattle."
"Great, see you on monday."
"Yeah," he sighs. "Must be nice have your own company, you can just up and move, then people have to work their ass off for that to happen."
Ana giggled. "Yeah, but you loved every minute of it."
"Damn straight." they laughs together. "Ah, I'm going to miss London,"
"Yeah, me too. But I want to be closer to my father. He has a girlfriend now, who has a son."
"Oh? Big Steele has babe now?" Jose laughs again.
"Don't laugh, you know I'm happy for him."
"Yeah, i just can't think about the first date. Your father is the most awkward man on the planet." Jose states.
"Awkward and Simple." Ana adds.
"Yeah, bet he took her to fishing."
"Hopefully not the first date." then they both laughs again. "I will see you on monday, have fun in Seattle."
"Darling, I will." Ana smiles again and hangs up. She looks out the window, at Kate's apartment building, Escala. Ana texts Kate that she is at the front door. She gets out of her car and Sawyer she will waits in the lobby. When he nods, she turned and walks into the building. She was greeted by the receptionist.
"Hi, I'm wait for an tentant, Katherine Kavanagh." Ana smiles at her. The receptionist nods at her kindly. Then she turns and goes to sit on one of the couches at the lobby. While waiting for her friend, Ana can't but wonder how she life will be in Seattle. She knows it is a great business decision since Kavanagh Media is based here and she basically owns it. And Seattle is closer to Hollywood than London. Many of her author works in the movie and music world, from songwriting to screen play, so she should be good, Business Wise. Personal life in Seattle is not the same. Can't find a simple house. Even if, she is closer to her father, making time to see him will be a problem. It kinda sucks, he is the reason I decide this. She takes a deep breathe. I can do this, I created a billion dollar company. She smiles.
"Penny for your thoughts?" says a very deep and manly voice. Ana turns to her right and sees the most beautiful grey eyes ever. She gasps silently and the eyes turns darker with desire. She looks the the own of the eyes, sees a handsome man. Oh, dear. This man is not just handsome. He was built by God himself.
"Um.. I'm good." Ana says when she finds her voice, though it was small.
"Good." The man smiles at her. Which made Ana blushes. "You live here? This is my first time seeing you."
"N-no, I um… here for a friend." Ana looks down, hiding her blush.
"Look at me." the man order in a dominant voice. Ana can't help but obey him. She look up to the man, noticing everything and anything about him. He had broad shoulders and large muscle in the right places, Ana can't help but bite her lower lip, and that made the man to take a deep breathe and clear his throat.
Ana moves her eyes up to meet his. He waits for her answer. "Um… well. This is my first time in Seattle. I was just thinking."
He smiles and nods. "Where are you from?"
"Um… I was from Vancouver, well born there. But went and lived in London for four years." Ana smiles shyly.
"Huh, what bring you here?"
"Um.."
When Ana didn't answer right away. He adds. "Business and pleasure?"
"Business!" He chuckles at her response. "Definitely Business. H-How about you?"
"I live here." He says. Ana almost hope he would invite her over. Almost. He smiles with mischief when her face becomes more red. He seems to enjoy her shyness.
"Sir." they both look up to see a tall security man, with the same outfit as Sawyer. The man looks angry, glaring at him, who seem unaffected by it. "We are ready to go." the man nods with a hard face, however he made no move to get up. Ana looked at the elevator and saw Kate, she smiles at her and turn to her visitor.
"Um… nice meeting you…" Ana pause.
"Christian." the man adds.
Ana smiles sweetly at him. "Christian, I'm Anastasia."
"Anastasia." Christian says dazed.
"Goodbye, Christian." he watched as she turn to meet with Kate, and as they both get in the SUV parked out front.
Christian Grey.
Anastasia. The name of the most beautiful woman. She looked like an angel carved by the angels, just to torture him and it is working. Even after her gone, Christian still thinks about her and that was an hour ago. The way she looks looking out the window, with her beautiful minidress that is just on her mid-thigh, with her long coat covering her. She has long black hair that is just past her shoulders to her breasts, and a pale white skin color that show him in full color of her blushes. He went there without even noticing, his body just moved towards her. He smiles at her shyness. She will be a great Sub. The moment he thinks that he didn't like it. He doesn't want to beat her, I would love to fuck her. Hard. He smiles at the idea. Christian's thoughts was interrupted with a knock. He looks toward the door. Andrea, his assistant walks in and stands just a few steps from his desk.
"Sir, I have your next week schedule up." She pause for his approval to continue. "On monday, you have conference meeting with the owners of Gorat Inc., the steel company. And pre your request Elena Lincoln is have lunch with you at noon, then the HR meeting in the conference. Tuesday to Thursday is the trip to Taiwan for the property there. The friday is free day as always."
Christian leans back in his chair and look up to his high ceiling. "Will that be all?"
"Yes sir,"
"Thank you," he dismiss her.
After some email from work, Christian turns to see his high view of his Seattle. Being one of the richest people in America, of course he can call Seattle his city. His company Grey Enterprise Holdings is a multibillion dollar company in a twenty-five story building , which took him about ten years to make it rich and influential. Top-class people work for his company, for interns to top-class executives, and security, ex-Cia and Ex-special forces, who is lead but Jason Taylor, a ex- delta forces guy. With a net value of twenty-eight billion dollar, Christian Grey rules Seattle.
Ever since, he had his billions, he has been living in great luxury style. From having pilot licenses to being a Dom in the world BDSM, which he learn by his friend Elena Lincoln, who is now 56 years but fail to knowledge it.
Christian Grey build his company after graduating from Harvard University. He brought a small struggling company and turned it around to make profit, and he started "fixing" businesses for a high profit. Hence, get his nickname, the Shark King. Making him a predator in the business world.
Christian is also known to be a predator in his personal life too. He had sex with Elena at his early teens and became her submissive for four years, then he started to boss her around, later his freshman year at Harvard, he was a dominant. And he has become a dominant since, with Elena provide him subs. When he became a dominant, his behavior changed. He was not arrogant, however confidence with a cup of "don't fuck with me" and hints of "I don't give a fuck" attitude.
In the business world, no one dared to cross him. And those who do, get their life destroyed, piece by piece. For instance, the WSU valedictorian, Katherine Kavanagh, who taught it will be fine for her to ask if he was gay, like he sexually orientation is any of her business. He was so furious that he sell against her father's media company, making it less profitable and making the family lose millions. However after years, it started to have be stable and more profit from it. Which made him very mad. And for icing on the shit cake, the stupid bitch lives in his building.
He takes a deep breathe trying to shake away the anger. He wanted to look at the company that took Kavanagh Media under it's wing but didn't care enough to do it. He looked at the clock, it was four in the evening, and it is friday. he turns off his computer, then laptop and before getting out of his office.
Taylor gives him a greeting, which he nods absently and walks past. Taylor follows his boss to the elevator, he press the basement parking garage. They walked in silence to the Lexus SUV . Taylor open the door for Christian who climb in. Then he went around to the driver seat and started the car. With a piano playing in the background, both men didn't speak all the way to Esalca.
After Taylor park the SUV next to Christian's 2017 Saad, he went around again to open the door for Christian. He gets up from the car and walk to the elevator with Taylor behind him. He press the penthouse button and punch in the code. In minutes the doors opens to a beautiful million-dollar penthouse. Christian walks into his home. It looks neat, with not a thing out of place. He walk up the stairs to his bedroom, which is also neat. He took of his michael kors grey suit on the ground his laundry basket and changed in his harvard grey t-shirt and a sweatpants, then went to his gym, where his personal trainer wait for him. He turn to the clock it was 6pm.
"Mr. Grey." His trainer greets him. They train an intense section, work on the abs, the leg, thighs and shoulders. His phone started to ring interrupting them.
"Grey." He pants.
"Hey, bro." His brother Elliot say on the other line.
"What is it, Elliot?" Christian asks annoyed.
"Whoa, man. Can't a guy call his brother to say hi"
"What do you want?" he walks to the bench where his water is. He takes a drinks and listens to Elliot.
"You see, there is this girls, I met and invited them to your club, Mile High. Now in order for me to impress them, I had to say I know the owner. So, you, the owner have to come with me to Mile High, I can get laid."
Christian sighs. "No."
"What? Come on!" Elliot whines. "She is beautiful, well her friend is too but not my type. I wanna get laid bro."
"I can't. I'm busy."
Elliot sighs in defeat. "Text me, if change your mind."
Christian hangs up. And look at the clock again, it is now 8pm. He has been working out for two hours. He went back to his large living room, expecting his submissive kneeling waiting for him. Where the fuck is she? He went to his playroom and she wasn't there. To the room where he house his subs, which is also empty.
"Taylor!" Taylor comes out at his call. "Where is Leial?"
"She is not here yet"
Christian sighs and went to his room without another word. He text Elliot that he will be there, who response with a smiley face and thumbs ups. He went to his large closet, then picked out a dark blue jeans and a black undershirts, with a grey sweater. He brushes his dark hair, then he walk out of his room.
He meets Taylor at the bottom of the stairs, "I'm going to Mile High alone with Elliot."
"Yes sir. What of Ms. Leila?"
"Sent her home, if she comes." Christian answer and made his way to the elevator. He press basement garage. The doors open showing his twenty-two cars, he walks to the black Audi r8. He opens the door and gets in the car. He smile when the car roar into life. He speed his way to his club. He parked in his own spot at the club, then walks to the front door. The bouncer nods in respect to him and he walks in.
Inside the club was long and dark. There was neon lights and laser show. The club was big yet private, there was two floors. Hundreds of people have a good time, dance, talking, and drinking. Christian move around ignoring the sex looks he receives from the women and the glares from the men.
"Bro!" He turn to the voice, Elliot, who was sit at the booth table with two beautiful ladies. He was surprised to find Anastasia there with, much to his anger, Katharine.
"Hello, Elliot." he says to them with his eyes on Anastasia. " Anastasia, nice to meet you again."
"Again?" Elliot asks eyeing the two. Christian keeps looking at Ana. She had a top and skirt outfit, which made his desire for her increase. Her top only cover her breast and the top of her middle with a short skirt, it grey in color with knee-high heel boots. Holy fuck, I want her.
"Yeah, we met when I went to pick up Kate." Ana explain to Elliot, who nods. Ana smiles and move over for Christian. "Here you can sit here, if you want."
Christian smile and gladly takes seat next to Ana. "Thank you, Anastasia."
"Um, just Ana." She blushes.
"Just Ana?" he teases.
"You can call me Ana, i-if you want." She explains and takes a long slip of her drink. Elliot and Kate was at the booth too, but was forgotten.
"Okay! I want to dance." Kate announced, Elliot was happy to join her. She looks at Ana and Christian, they seem to be in their own world. She left them alone and went dancing with Elliot.
Ana and Christian were alone. Christian had his arms over the chair, about Ana's small body.
"So, Ana. what did you do today?" Christian starts a conversation.
"Well, we went shopping and to the salon, basically girly stuff." Ana smiles up to him.
"You are friends with Katherine." he stated watching Elliot and his new "friend" dance closely, too closely for his liking.
"Yes, we were friends since high school." Ana answers also watch at them.
"You went to London?" Christian turn to look down at her.
"I've been a lot of places. London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, tokyo. Just to name a few." Christian nods. They look up to see a waiter asking if he could help.
"Yeah, give me a vodka tonic and…" Christian turn to Ana.
"Another Tequila please." Ana answers.
"I don't like your friends," he confess
"Why?"
"She asked me in an interview, if I was gay."
"Are you?" Christian sharply look downwards to Ana. She blushes and looks down.
Christian guide her head to look at him with his point finger. "I could show you that I love pussies." And things I could do to yours.
Ana gasps and bite her lower lip. Without warning Christian crush his lips to hers. He feel his smooth lips and want more, he takes advantage with his tongue with she gasps for air. Tongue is in her mouth dance in dominant with hers. In seconds, she was on top of him. He hands at her back, And close her eyes and just feel his tongue and scent. The kiss is making her hot, and she could feel his wood pressing her. They pulled apart panting for air. Ana was still on top of Christian.
"Not here." Christian whispers, Ana is still daze from the kiss.
"We can go." Ana answers, and Christian smiles.
"Okay, let's go." Christian gently put Ana down and hold her hand, walk out of the club. He walk her to his car and squeeze her hand, promising manny things.
