Christian POV
Fuck what does Ana know about me? If I am honest with her she will leave me and I can't afford that to happen. I had to get away to clear my head. As I enter my room I am stopped dead in my tracks by the sight of my ex-sub in her panties kneeling by my bedroom door. She had her hands bound behind her back, a ball gag in her mouth and nipple clamps on. Now it all makes fucking sense. I am fucking furious. This is Elena's way of trying to scare off Ana and show me I need this. She might actually succeed this time. How do I protect Ana from this? Fuck.
"Taylor" I scream and he and Ana both come running and stops dead in their tracks at the sight I have just witnessed. Oh shit. I should have seen that one coming. I didn't count on Ana following Taylor.
"Taylor I want this removed from my apartment now. Get her presentable and I want a word with her before she leaves. I don't know how the fuck she got in here in the first place. All security codes need to be changed. One more thing get me a contractor in to sort out upstairs for me. I am done with all this shit." I can't help the rising anger in my voice and he can tell how pissed off I am.
"Yes sir." He knows what I am talking about without me saying the words. He removes Leila from my room and makes her get dressed and takes her into the sitting room to wait for me. The whole time Ana is standing there looking everywhere but at me. I know I have now scared her away for good? Elena is going to get what she wants after all.
"Christian what was that. Is she yours? Is that what you really want, because I will understand if you do and I will go? I will have no hard feelings I promise." The tremor in her sweet voice makes my chest contract and i hate seen her sad.
"No, no Ana she is not. I have not had a sub for the past year now and never want one again. I have you and that is all I need. I don't ever want you to go. Please you have to understand me?" She nods at me but I can see she has more questions.
"Then why is she in your room?" Good question but I think I know why.
"Ana I think Elena sent her here to scare you away. She also thinks if I see Leila like this I will want a sub again. She is playing games with us hoping you will run away and she can have me again."Now is the time I have to be totally honest with her or I will lose her. The look on her face tells me she is so ready to take on the world. She squares her shoulders and lifts her chin and says.
"Not going to happen baby. You are mine and I am prepared to fight for you." Fuck this incredible women wants to fight for me. I am blown away by the debt of my feelings for her. Not even my fucking whore of a mother fought for me. Nobody had stated such a declaration for me. Wow I am the luckiest fucking bastard alive. The fact that she does not question me being an ex-Dom makes me wonder what all she knows about me.
"Baby you have me. There is no need to fight. I am all yours, now let's go and sort this shit out." I am still furious at Elena for breaking my trust and betraying me like this. I will sort her out tomorrow.
Ana POV
I almost ran to the hills never to return. I have not seen something so scary in my life but on the other hand it was so sexy. I could actually picture myself waiting like that for Christian to take me at his will. Hell no, what has gotten into me? I need a clear my head to sort this shit out. We walk into the lounge and she is standing with her head bowed. Then she speaks in a tiny voice.
"Master she does not look like us." What does that mean? Does all his subs have blond hair I wonder?
"And what is your point Leila?" Christian bites out in a loud growl.
"All masters subs are blonde sir this one has darker hair sir." Oh wow I see she thinks I am a sub. I walk up to Christian and snuggle into his side and he puts his arms around me so I gently. I place my open palm protectively on his broad chest to say he is mine. I know what I am doing and I can see the shock on her face when he kisses the top of my head.
"Ana is not my sub Leila and she never will be. I am done with that life style. She is my girlfriend. I wanted more and so does she. Now can you please leave us alone and never contact me again or I will call the cops and have you charged with breaking in and entering."
"Yes, sir but mistress said you asked for me to come here sir." I knew it was Elena who set this up.
"Well, she lied to you I have moved on with my life and am very happy and I suggest you do the same." I am shocked that Christian is so cold towards her. It just shows me what emotionless relationships he has had all these years because of what that vile woman has done to him. Taylor escorts her out and we settle on his bed to just chat.
Christian opens up to me and tells me all about his birth mom and the pimp. He tells me about Elena and how she helped him even though I don't see it that way. I am so sad for him that he had gone through so much heart ache. I tell him how we were dumped as babies and dad found us and adopted us. I also let him in on my sexual experience and he seems chuffed that no other man had touched me. It actually make me laugh. As he puts it.
"Ana you will only be mine." We talk about my job and he is completely shocked that I work for him. I honestly thought he knew.
"Christian that is one of the reasons I didn't want to get into a relationship with you."
"Ana are you by ay chance the scientist they call GreySteele?" That makes me laugh.
"Yup that's me. I got the name because my manager felt I have come into the company and taken over so that is why the `Grey and because I am still me they added the Steele so that's how I got the nickname GreySteele."
"I like it, it represents both of us. Your job will not be affected by us dating. My second in charge Ros will handle all transactions between you'll, so there is no company talk between us. Not that I care what people think."
"Well thank you Christian that will definitely help out."
"To tell you the truth, I have heard about all the wonderful inventions you have tried to master, management is very impressed with you and feel you have really allowed the company to rise."
"I didn't know all this. Thanks you."
Christian POV
For the past month the chat in and around the office has been about this GreySteele person and how wonderful they are and what great work they have done. I didn't know who they were talking about. I have overheard quit a number of men commenting on her fine ass and wonderful breasts and how they will love to have her between the sheets. Now that I know its my women they were discussing I am furious. I need to set the records straight so everyone knows she is mine.
"Ana you still have not told me what the involvement is with that Jose character." I can immediately feel her whole body tenses from this one question. What the fuck did he do to her? She takes a deep breath then asks if we can talk with Taylor to so she don't have to repeat herself. Now I am concerned. We walk out together and go into Taylors office and he is looking at me with the what the fuck do you want now look. I almost want to laugh at him because he is the only employee of mine that can get away with that shit.
"Taylor Ms. Steele wants to talk to both of us about who this Jose guy is." He nods to me but I have a feeling he knows already because his hand immediately moves over a brown folder on his desk and I know that is the info we wanted. I decide to rather let her tell her side of the story first. She takes a big shaky breath and starts.
"I was 2 years into university when we went on a school trip to Texas. We went for a month on an agricultural expedition. Jose was there with the class as the school photographer. I don't drink much but on the second day everyone went out for drinks so I went with. That night he must have spiked my drink but luckily for me I didn't drink it all. I was a little out of it and I don't know how I ended up in his hotel room. He tried to kiss me and I pushed him away and said I do not see him like that. I could tell he was starting to get angry. He tried again and I refused so he started to beat me up and rip my clothes off." She is so wound up she has to stop and catch her breath. Fuck this is getting too much for me. I could not take the distance between us so I took her into his lap and she snuggled into me. I held onto her for a bit and then she carried on with the story.
"I don't know how long he beat me up but I was to week to defend myself. I remember waking up in the hospital with a broken arm, leg and a fractured skull. I remembered everything that happened but before I could talk to the nurse his father Mr. Jose Senior came in and showed me all our adoption papers and Ray's pension forms from the army. I didn't understand at first but he soon explained that if I report this to the police he will make sure Ray looses everything and he will make sure Kate and I lose our scholarships. I could not allow that to happen to my family so they went with the plot they made up. The story was that Jose and I were in a car accident and that is how I ended up like that. I didn't even know that they had actually set up the accident scene to make it look real. Ray helped me recover and the Rodriguez paid for all my medical bills. So that is how I met Jose and why I didn't want him near me." I am so fucking furious at everything that fucking family has put my Ana through. My Ana? Fuck yes. I know we have just met but I can't lie to myself and say what she went through does not affect me. Something in me changed the minute I held her hand and I know my life is never going to be the same. I have become very attached to Ana and don't intend to ever let her go. Her problems are now mine. I am going to protect her at all costs.
