This is my first attempt at FF and I've been a big fan of so many for months so here is my first story. I hope you like it. I apologize in advance for any errors, so please forgive me. I don't any of these amazing characters belonging to E.L. James!

Chapter 1

It's only been three days and I feel I'm losing all control of my life; I'm in desperate need of some relief. I had to end my contract early with Madison after eight weeks because she said she was developing feelings for me. Shit why does this always happen? Why can't I have the kind of relationship that I want? Straight fucking with no strings attention, I'm not asking for much.

I'm hope that by meeting with Elena tonight for dinner for our standing weekly meal she will have some good news for me and by that I mean she has a new sub that is more to my very high standards.

Taylor drops me off at the front entrance of The Mile High Club. When I reach my club I'm shown to my private table and Elena is already here and early and she has this look on her face that I know very well and I'm worried. She's wearing a black lace very low cut cocktail dress that shows off her latest cosmetic surgery. I have to admit for being 55 she is a beautiful woman and with all of her surgery she easily could pass for a woman in her late 30s.

"Darling, so nice to see you," Elena says when I kiss her check.

"Out with it Elena, what's going on?"

"Christian, you look so tense. I can tell that you are in desperate need of a release."

She deliberately puts her hand on my thigh and lets her fingers start to find their way up to my zipper.

"Not now Elena, I hope that you brought me a few new options."

"Testy testy, I can make it all better."

She's not getting the point so I pick up her hand and place it on the table.

"Fine, I come with two options for your approval," she says pulling out a folder.

Two that's it?

"Option one is for you to drop the idea of the subs for a few weeks and come back to the club so you can have a different flavor each and every night, no rules," She says.

I've told her. Since I started GEH five years ago I can't be seen going to her BDSM club. If it ever got out I would be ruined.

"That's out of the question Elena and you know that."

She smiles that devious smile and I know that she knew I was going to say no so she must be priming me for something big.

"Option two is for you and me to start over again."

Is she fucking kidding me? I can't believe that she even suggested this. Elena and I haven't been intimate in seven years. There is no way that I can Sub for her.

"You're serious?"

"Absolutely, however after seeing your need I think we can reverse the roles and I will let you be in charge sir."

Shit, anytime that woman calls me sir it does something to me that it shouldn't

In my training learning this lifestyle Elena subbed for me for six months and after that, we ended our sexual relationship for good.

"Elena, we can't go back there," I say throwing back my third bourbon.

"Why not baby, you know how good it was and I know exactly what you need. We can start tonight, right now if you want. I can tame the growing beast that is inside your pants."

"I'm leaving Elena. Call me when you have someone in mind for me?"

I get up from the table and say my goodbyes to a few business associates that are spread throughout the restaurant before Taylor finds me and takes me back to Escala.

"Claude, are you free, I'm in need dire need of a workout right now," I say to my personal trainer as we pull into the parking garage.

"Christian man, it's nine at night, are you okay?"

"I just need to go a round or two to calm down."

"Man, I'm on a date. How about we meet at six and we can really work out this aggression you have right now?

"Fine."

"Oh and by the way, I'm trying out a new state of the art gym. I think it will be good for you to have a few new opponents. I will text Taylor the address."

"You better be prepared tomorrow Claude."

I think this whole new gym thing is just a cover as I took him out hard core this morning and I think I may have gone a little too hard on him and now he's trying to pawn me off on someone new and whoever it is they better be ready because I need to kick some ass.

By the time, I get home, I go for a five mile run with Sawyer and I'm still wound up so tight.

I end up spending nearly the entire night and next morning working and I think I may have slept two hours.

By 5:45 we arrive at this new gym and it looks like dilapidated warehouse.

"Are you sure this was the right address?"

"Welch checked it out last night and the gym just opened three weeks ago and it's owned by Jack Hyde who is a former professional kick boxer and apparently this is the place to go."

Taylor and I walk inside and I'm surprised by the amount of people this early on a Friday.

I start to warm up when Claude comes in.

"Isn't this place great?" He says beginning to stretch.

"It's bright."

"Boy, Grey something must be really wrong you're not your normal cheery self," He laughs.

Fuck for that little comment I'm really going to make him pay for that.

We find an empty ring and start my workout.

"So what's eating you man, you are more tense then ever?"

"Are we going to chat or are we going to fight?"

He nods at me and then we start our dance.

I knock Claude on his ass in less than a minute but I think I went a little too hard on him and he's having a hard time shaking it off.

"Claude, man I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize, I didn't protect myself, it was a clean hit," He says pulling off his boxing gloves.

I'm nowhere near done.

"Wait here, I think I have someone who can handle you this morning," he says jumping out of the ring.

A few minutes later I hear Claude's voice and I see a woman coming into the ring.

"No way Claude I can't fight a woman."

"Are you afraid that I'm going to kick your ass," the brunette confidently says and she turns around to put in her mouth guard and that's when I see it. She has long braid and I nearly lose it. I can't see her face as it's covered by her head gear but she has a tight little body and it's accentuating even more by her black sports bra and matching very short fight shorts.

"You haven't seen any of my moves," I say as we start the dance.

"If you say so," I'm so turned on by her words and the way her body moves.

Keep it together Grey.

I strike first but I completely miss my intended target and then this woman counters with a kick straight to the chest and I'm laid out on my back and I'm having problems breathing.

"You didn't protect yourself," My opponent says and she rips off her head gear revealing the woman behind the fighter. Fuck she is gorgeous. "Just breathe slowly, are you okay?"

"Yeah, it just hurts to breathe, give me a second," I say as she and Claude are pulling off my gloves. When she touches my naked hand I feel an electric show run through my whole body.

Claude helps me to sit up and hands me a water bottle. I look over at him and he looks smug that finally he got his revenge even via by proxy.

Finally, I'm able to stand up but I'm a little woozy on my feet so I'm walk over to a chair.

"She got you good man," Claude says trying so hard to hide his laughter.

"Man, she's tougher than you, I should fire your ass and hire her," I say and that shut him up quickly.

We walk back to the locker room and I attempt to collect myself and shower before heading off to work.

I stop by a full length mirror and look at the bright red heel mark on my chest. I run my hand over the mark and I can't seem to shake the vision that is my opponent. I don't even know her name.

I change into my gray suit and walk out.

There talking with another man by the front counter she sees and really looks concerned.

Claude and I walk back and I tell him to go ahead.

"I am so sorry," she says "Please let me make it up to you."

Oh I like the sound of that.

"Dinner with me at seven o'clock," I say and she looks taken back.

"I was thinking more like a few training sessions," She says and the guy she was talking with walks over.

"Mr. Grey, I'm Jack Hyde and on behalf of Uppercut, I want to apologize again."

I raise my hand and stop him. Why is he apologizing?

"Sir, Ana doesn't know her own strength most of the time and we have talked about that.

Ana that is my mystery lady's name.

"We would like to offer you free private training sessions and I would like to offer my services personally," He says.

"Actually, I was quite impressed with Ana and I would like her to train me."

He looks at Ana and I can tell there's a lot more going on between the two of them besides employer and employee.

"Then I will have Ana set that up," He says walking away.

After giving her my information I wait for her answer about dinner.

"So dinner, tonight, where can I pick you up?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Grey but we are not allowed to date clients," She says without looking at face.
