Chapter 6

Christian

I decide to play coy, just looking at her expectantly, waiting for an answer. Her face is bright red with embarrassment. She looks nervous to answer, astonished and what I believe to be anger. I look to her but she is just staring at me.

I search her face for an answer as to how she feels. She looks frozen and stoic like. I need to know what she is thinking.

Through the darkness of the room, the only light that I can see is her face which looks beautiful. The bright red in her cheeks add colour to her face. Her hands are covering her eyes.

I wait patiently, not wanting to enrage her. Her hands keep covering her face not giving me any inclination as to what she is thinking.

I decide to move closer to her on the couch. I reach out and grab her hand and as I do, I'm shocked at what I see. A single tear drips down her cheek as our eyes meet.

Out of all of the get togethers that our families have had in the past years, I never saw Ana like this. Even when she was quite young and got hurt, she never cried. She never showed any inclination of pain, at least never in public. She was always her nervous but witty and lovable self.

Wait? Did I just think of her as lovable? Fuck Grey! She's too young for you, barely an adult! Stop thinking like that. Even though she is and has always been a beautiful girl in the subtle way that makes her even more beautiful.

I force myself to get my mind back on track as I realize that I have a young girl who is crying. I look at her and I feel hurt. Hurt that I hurt her with my question. I should have never asked that or exposed the truths that I know.

"Ana..." is all that I can manage to say. My throat feels hoarse and I continue to try and let words escape. It probably been around five minutes since I initially asked the question, but it feels like an eternity.

Ana still has her head in her hands when I say, "Ana, I'm sorry. My question was inappropriate. Please ignore it." I sound heartbroken because truthfully I really wanted to hear the same answer that Ana revealed to Mia and Kate at that slumber party.

I look up from my lap and hear a muffled sound. Oh god. Please say that she isn't crying. I don't think that I'd be able to deal with that. What can I say to make her feel better? I've never had an actual relationship before so I've truthfully never had to deal with tears.

Maybe I should give her a hug? No, then she'll think I'm pitying her. Give her space? Maybe I should go?

I'm pulled out of my reverie by the muffled sound getting louder. I grab her hand with a worried gaze. She looks up and to my amazement shes laughing? Is she she laughing at me. I look at her confused and this just makes her laugh more.

I look to her, my worries subside, "Ana, are you alright?" She continues to laugh. If I didn't know any better I'd think shes drunk, "Ana", I say, "Are you drunk?"

She looks at me and laughs harder. "No" she manages between giggles. "I've only had one drink with you." She continues laughing "And your," she laughs, "question, completely sobered me up."

So she thinks that I'm amusing? Well at least it isn't the alternative. "Ana, whats so funny about the question?"

She's calmed down a bit. "Well," she pauses, "I suppose that its the audacity to your question. Or maybe I'm just stunned that you mimicked the same question that I was forced to answer when I was fifteen."

I'm unsure how to respond so I choose to be witty, "So has your answer changed?" I automatically kick myself for asking this question. It was entirely inappropriate.

"Well," she says pausing, "I suppose I could answer that, or we could continue playing this game and you could figure it out through my actions?" She gives me a knowing look.

She knows the secrets of the game and what each card reads. She's testing me to know my limits.

Then I remember the separate bundle of cards and the look that she gave me when I mixed them in. Oh god, there must be sexual dares and questions in here.

My pants tighten, great I say to myself sardonically, perfect timing. I look at her. All traces of nervousness has subsided and shes gazing at me through her eyelashes.

Fuck she's sexy. I decided to oblige her and I say, "Ok, just so long as you know that we don't have to do anything that your not comfortable with."

She looks at me smiling, "Splendid . I do believe it to be my turn to ask you a question." The way she says ' ' is hot. Just how it rolls off of her tongue. Oh her tongue... Grey! I stop myself and gesture to the game.

I spin the board and it lands on super truth, great this is not going to be good. "Shoot" I say.

She picks up the card and she says clearly, "What is your most obscure sexual fantasy." Oh great, just a question that either land an expose on me in the Seattle Times or will make me sound like a creep. I decide to go with a mundane answer, "Well I suppose it would be using tie ups and other, umm, toys." There that suffices, lots of people use toys and tie ups.

She looks at me probably expecting me to reveal more but my lips are sealed. I'm not saying anything about my playroom or how, in between subs, I have one night stands. I've never had a real relationship before, even as a teenager. Would I be willing to try it with Ana? Grey! Shes 18, too young!

I decide to end the turn as I say, "Your turn." She looks to me and spins the board. She gets a double dare. I pick up the card and as I gaze at I believe my face is white. She looks at me. I shake my head, clear my throat and say, "Your double dare is to" I pause taking a deep breath, "give" hmm I clear my throat, "perform oral sex on me." She looks at me surprised at what I just said, I quickly look at her an add in, "You don't have to do this, you know what, we can completely disregard the dare, lets move on"

I quickly spin the board but I'm surprised. She makes her way over to me. She bends down, between my legs and looks up at me through her eyelashes, " , I do believe that I have a dare to perform." Holy fuck! Where did this girl come from? She's confident and controlling. Where did the shy girl that I grew up with disappear to?

She starts to reach for my zipper when I remember a key component to the conversation that I eavesdropped on, "I would give my virginity to him in a heartbeat".

Holy fuck! "Ana, Ana stand up." I give her the voice that I reserve for my subs. She obeys. I decide to soften my tone she is after all, not my sub, just a really hot girl who may or may not be a virgin. "Ana before you do this, you have to clear a few things up for me."

She looks at me and says, "Ok anything you need shoot."

I look to her cutting to the chase, "Ana you know I heard your conversation a couple of years ago and I know what you said that you felt to you friends, but I need to know, do you feel the same now? Do you still want me sexually?"

She looks at me and without hesitation responds, "Christian, I have always wanted you and I will always want you".

I look at her, "Ok just one more thing. You must know, I heard all of your conversation including an important detail which I need to know if it remains true. Ana, are you a virgin?"

She looks at me and giggles, her cheeks darken with embarrassment and I know that the shy innocent girl is still there. "Yes" She responds, "Yes, I'm still a virgin and I stand by those words. I would give my virginity to you in a heartbeat."

I look to her. She is absolutely gorgeous, from head to toe. Its been three years since that initial comment and shes still a virgin? I look a her and no way am I allowing this young woman who I care about and who cares about me, suck me off and call that her first sexual encounter. No way can I let that happen. I ask her, "You want me?" I sound urgent.

"More than I've ever wanted anyone in my life."

"Well then, what gentleman would I be if I allowed your first experience to be anything less that romantic? She looks at me questioningly. I hold out my hand and she takes it and I begin leading her in the direction of her bedroom by candlelight. I open the door, allowing her to go in first. She enters and I follow in behind her, closing the door. I look to her and say, "Ready?"

She only gives me a quick nod before I've pretty well tackled her and have her back on the bed with me on top, my tongue pushed into her mouth, caressing her tongue. Its a beautiful kiss infused with love, admiration, wanting and lust.
