CHAPTER 10

Christian

As I enter the bedroom I see Anastasia on the bed picking at her collar lock. She hears me close the doors and startles. Turning to me I see a sigh.

"Thank god! I need to pee get me out of this!" She all but screams.

I make my way quickly over and pull the key out of my pants. Unlocking her collar, she takes off towards the bathroom. I knew that we were going to have to find something else to keep her in the room.

After she is finished I let her roam around the room for a bit while I pick out my attire for the evening.

"Going somewhere?" She asks looking at the clothes I've laid out.

"We are hosting a party tonight for some potential clients."

"Oh."

I can tell she wants to ask more but stays quiet.

"Go ahead and ask Angel. I know that you want to."

"Well…does your business deal in only slaves like me?"

"No we cater to a wide range of taste for people. You might think of us being like a matchmaker of sorts."

"Oh."

"We don't force the women to be here, Anastasia. Every woman is here because they want to be. There is really good money to be made in this business."

"But isn't it illegal to do this? Can't you go to jail for selling women?"

"Yes, we can but most of our clients are high ranking members of this country or from around the world. Almost like a secret society."

"I'm not here on my own free will." She states.

"You are mine and need to be close to me. I don't know what I would do if something were to happen to you."

"Something did happen to me. I was kidnapped by a lying deranged man and his business partners who run a prostitute ring." She says sarcastically.

I ignore her and pull out a pair of black socks from the dresser. I pull on my dress pants and reach for my shirt.

"Don't wear the green shirt." She says and walks over to the closet and grabs a blue one. "Here, you always look better in blue."

What she says shocks me. It's like we aren't in this house but back in Miami again picking out each other's clothing for the day.

"Thank you, Angel." I say and she smiles shyly at me.

I finish dressing and watch as she goes and sits back down on the bed. She looks upset and stares at the floor. I walk over and place a finger under her chin pulling it up so that our eye meet.

"What's on your mind Angel?"

"I was wondering if you will get another slave." She turns her eyes away from me.

How can she think that I would do that? Have I not shown her that she is my everything? No, you idiot you haven't. She thinks your entire relationship was a lie to lure her here.

"Anastasia, you are it for me. The moment I see you in Miami I knew that you and I would be together forever. We have this chemistry that ignites something in me when we are in the same room and I have never had that with anyone. I know that right now is confusing and I promise that it will all be revealed soon but I need you to trust me that I will keep you safe. I love you too much to let anything happen to you."

"You love me?"

Shit! That is not how I wanted to tell her. I imagined doing it with candlelight's and roses and not in this place.

"Yes, I do. I have loved you from the moment our lips connected."

I see something shift in her eyes and then it's gone after a few seconds. I know that it will take some time to earn her trust back but I can already see her walls cracking. If we can get through this next week then we will be home free.

"What is going to happen at this party tonight?" She asks changing the topic.

"Well, we have about two dozen women who will be walking around the party and men who will pick and choose what they like."

"Like a buffet?"

"Kind of but the men will ask the women to do things with them in one of the guest rooms if they think they are compatible."

"What kind of things?"

"Always so curious, Angel. Do you really want to know? I will tell you but it may be too much for you to hear."

She nods. I want us to move forward from this so if telling her everything that our business entails then so be it.

"Sex acts. Anything and everything that involves sex. From toys to floggers, canes, belts, cuffs, feathers and costumes. Each client has a taste and they get to try it out at the party to see if there is a woman that will meet their needs. If they find it then they will bid on them at the auction next week. Or if they don't find it here tonight then they give us specific requirements of what they want and we find them and bring them here."

I see her eyes widen and her blood must rush out of her face because she is looking much more pale.

"Angel, all of these women want to be here. They sign a contract with the men and they are setup with a the finest the world has to offer."

Although, the clients don't know this, they think we have stolen them and trained them for this occasion. Human trafficking is becoming more of a problem in our country and we, Jason, Luke and myself couldn't get behind taking them against their will. Anastasia is the first one we have ever taken, but are doing it to protect her. She just doesn't know it yet.

The first shipment of women from the 'Big Boss' is the first time we have ever had women forced into slavery and it is making all of us here at The Casa a little uneasy. After the auction next week we are signing off from this life and not looking back. The 'Big Boss' will get what's coming to him and we will walk away wiping our hands clean.

"I guess I don't understand why women would want to be subjected to a life like this." She finally says.

"You would need to ask them that, Angel. We run a tight ship here and if they want out then we show them the door."

"Have you done sex acts with some of the girls from your club?"

Damnit! I could lie and she would never know.

"Yes, but it was a long time ago in New York."

"Are they here in the house now?"

"NO! I would never do something like that to you. No. Listen Anastasia, I have to get down there before our clients show up. If you want, we can talk more tomorrow but I hope this will be all we discuss on this topic. Soon we will be done with this life and starting a new one."

I kiss her pouty lips and make my way for the door. I know that I left her with a lot to digest but I hope she understands that this doesn't define who I am as a person.

I turn before walking out of the room.

"I love you Angel. Behave tonight." I say and then close the door behind me knowing fully well that I didn't chain her collar up to the bed.

The rest of the week goes by in a flash. Anastasia and I get in a routine with our days and it feels like we are almost back to being like we were before the kidnapping. We have dinner with Luke, Jason, Barney and Gail some nights and it's like we all mesh well together. Like old college buddies.

Jose is still lurking around but keeps to himself when he isn't entertaining one of our girls in his room. The way that he looks at my Angel when she is with me irks me to no ends. I want to wipe that smirk he gives her when is sees us right off his face with my fist.

Anastasia plays the part of slave really well when we are not on the third floor. She keeps her head down and mouth closed while walking around downstairs. I know that she has seen some of the other women when we go down there to the kitchen but doesn't say anything. The other girls I can tell are jealous of her because she is allowed to be up on the third floor. A place they are forbidden to be.

What surprises me the most is Jason and Gail. I watched him coming out of her room one morning before anyone was up. He was smiling like a loon but quickly recovered when he saw me. We haven't spoken about it but I know that he is in her room almost every night. The hallway video's don't lie!

Tomorrow night is the auction and the 'Big Boss' is coming in tomorrow right before the party begins. Everything is ready and in place for this, we just need to set up the ballrooms and that's it.

I feel Anastasia's breathing change and her heartrate starts beating faster and know that she is stirring. She has her head on my chest and her arms and legs are thrown over me. Usually, it's the other way around but the last two nights she has been the one to cling to me while we sleep. I don't chain her up anymore and let her roam around the room freely. I feel like we have built that trust back that we lost and it feels great. She still hasn't told me that she loves me but I know that once we get away from this place it will be only a matter of time. She says it in her sleep all the time but I want to hear it from her when she is awake and looking me in my eyes.

Her body stretches out and a soft moan escape her plump lips.

"Morning Angel." I greet.

"Mmm morning."

"I have a lot to prepare for, for tomorrow. Do you think that you can keep yourself out of trouble for a while?"

"I think I can manage. I have a new book from the library that I wanted to read."

Anastasia has been going through books from the library like crazy this week. It seems as though we go down there every day to get a new one for her to read.

"Good. After tomorrow evening we will be ready to start our new life and get out of this place." I say with a sigh of relief. It can't come soon enough.

"Christian?" She looks up at me with sad eyes.

"Yes Angel."

"Will I ever see my mom and dad again?"

"Of course, you will. As soon as we walk away from here and the dust settles we will be back here for you to see everyone."

"But not right away?"

"No, we will have to wait until the fall out is over, which shouldn't take too long but the…" I stop myself from finishing up that sentence. Everything will be revealed tomorrow night and then there won't be any more secrets from me.

"Lets grab a shower and breakfast before I stay in bed all day with you and ravish your body."

With a slap to her ass we make our way to the bathroom and start the shower.

Anastasia

Christian leaves me to my own devices after a very filling breakfast and I continue to work on my plan of escape. I have to tell myself that this will all be over soon and I will be back with my family and friends.

Over this past week Christian has really opened up to me about his past. He told me all about the Grey's and living in Seattle. We spoke about his birthmother and the poor living conditions they lived in. What came as a real shock was his teenage years and the family friend who abused him. I asked if that is what got him into this line of work but all he would give me is that it has a small part of it. I know the Grey's from doing charity work with the hospital. They seem like nice people but I guess things can be different behind closed doors. Christian wouldn't tell me who the family friend was that abused him. I think that I would go ape shit if I knew of her. Who does that to kids? I mean look what she did to him. He kidnaps me and then has some job where he sells women. Talk about screwing up someone's mind.

The sex this week has really rocked my world and if it was possible, it was better than when we were in Miami. He knows how to command my body to his will and I have no control over it. I hate to admit that I love giving him such control but it's the truth.

When he told me that he loved me last week I thought I was going to faint. I had wanted to hear those words from him for so long and when he said them I almost burst out in tears. Thank god, I didn't, but still.

There is a part of me that still wants to hate him for what he has put me and my family through but then there is the part that loves being here and him giving me so much attention. I know that it is wrong for what he did but I know that I will be getting away soon and rejoining my family. He has been my first in every way as far as being with a man and in a relationship so I know that we will always have that connection.

Tomorrow is when the big auction happens and I can't wait. I know that if I can get Christian to let me go with him, I will be able to set my escape in motion. I plan on really sexing him up tonight so that he will give in and say yes. Kate says that men are easily lead around by their dicks. Christian seems to be no different.

I remember one time when we were in Miami when I suggested we swim with the sharks and he flipped out. The next night I rode him so hard he would have signed everything he had over to me if I asked.

I open my new book from the library and start to daydream about what my plans are once I make it out of the house. I remember Christian had once said that we are about an hour from the city and from the looks of it we are out in the country part. Which means that the closest neighbor is probably a few miles away. I have kept my training and eating up so that my stamina is up to par for my journey.

Christian had said that tomorrow will start a new life together but what he doesn't know is that after tomorrow I will be getting my life back before he took me.

My plan is solid, all I have to do is make sure I stay focused tomorrow evening.

A/N: This is just a small filler I will post another one tomorrow. I have finished the story and will update as I edit the chapters. Thanks.
