Christian feels his chest constrict as Taylor informs him that Ana has a guest for lunch, not just a guest but a male guest who had brought her lunch. Not that he had a problem with her having lunch but when a man turns up at his house to have lunch with his woman, especially when he is not home then all his common sense flies out the door. Christian hastily grabs his coat; he doesn't even bother to say anything to Andrea. He just storms out of Grey house and gets into the car as Taylor is already waiting for him. His lips are set in a grim line as Taylor drives Christian home; there is hardly any traffic. Taylor smiles a little as they reach Escala. He knows that Ana is not expecting Christian back from work and he knows that Christian is going to interrogate Ana's guest no matter who it is. Taylor prepares to stand by and watch the fireworks; he enjoys the way Ana stands her ground. She has proven to be the challenge that he knows Christian needs every now and then. Even though Christian still hasn't gained his memory back and has had to learn the hard way that Ana is her own person and will do what she thinks is right despite what Christian might say.
Christian doesn't bother to gently open the doors after exiting the elevator; he slams it shut after he enters and brushes past Gail who give Taylor an 'I know what is going to happen look.' They smile at each other and hover around the breakfast bar. Christian goes straight to the dining hall where Ana is having lunch with her male guest. As he reaches the dining hall, Ana stands up and Christian looks into her eyes, his anger evident. Her guest stands up too and as he turns, Christian looks at his face and he begins to smile. He put his head down, grins to himself and then walks over to Ana and places a kiss on her lips.
"Christian Grey." Mr Emerson says.
"Matthew Emerson, what a surprise to find you here." Christian says shaking hands with Mr Emerson, while Ana looks at them in shock. How did Christian know Mr Emerson and Mr Emerson's name is Matthew?
"I was meant to meet Ana for lunch today to discuss my latest book, but she was ill so I thought I would bring lunch to her."
"How thoughtful of you, Ana did mention an important meeting but I urged her to stay home and recover."
Christian puts his arm around Ana's shoulder and pulls her closer as Gail comes in with a plate and more food. Christian sits next to Ana and helps himself; he looks over to Ana who still hasn't said a word.
"Ana, are you ok?" Christian whispers to her.
"Yes." She says in her calm voice.
"Ana, you are probably wondering how Christian and I know each other." Mr Emerson says.
"Actually yes I am."
"We went to school together and he sponsored me a huge sum of money to publish my first book. We sort of lost contact afterwards, I had no idea that Christian owned SIP."
"You didn't know that?" Ana asks confused.
"Yes, of course I knew that you were involved with the owner but I didn't know that it was Christian."
"I am a silent partner really, for Ana's sake I prefer to not be linked to SIP." Christian adds.
"I can understand why."
"She is an excellent editor; I wouldn't want anyone to doubt her capabilities because of me." Christian says taking Ana's hand and giving it a little squeeze.
Christian, Ana and Mr Emerson continue to chat after lunch; they sit in the living room and talk. Ana learns about how Christian had saved Mr Emerson in school fights when he was bullied. She remembered that Mia had once told her about Christian being in fights. Now she understood why, even back then he was too good to be true. Ana snuggles next to Christian as he and Mr Emerson exchange information, it seems like they had lost contact over years as they both built their careers. Before they knew it Gail announces dinner, Mr Emerson feels bad and doesn't want to intrude but both Christian and Ana insist that he stay.
Soon after Mr Emerson has left, Ana goes upstairs to run her bath while Christian makes some calls, he wants to catch up with the work that he has missed while he caught up his old friend. Ana has just stripped herself; she is staring at herself in the mirror when Christian walks up behind her and put his arms around her waist and kisses her neck. Ana feels a chill run down her spine as he nibbles her neck, she turns to face Christian and he bends his head and kisses her. Ana opens her lips and s Christian's tongue into her mouth. He pulls her closer and deepens the kiss, she moans softly as she feels her heart begin to beat faster. Ana feels Christine harden and he pushes his fingers through her hair and then pulls her head back, exposing her neck. Christian kisses her neck and then picks Ana up and carries her to the bath; he places her in the water and then strips himself. As Christian joins Ana in the water, she moves to him and sits astride him. Ana begins to kiss Christian's neck and nibbles on his ear, then she let him slide inside her and she watches as his eyes widened with surprise, Ana has mostly let Christian lead their sex lives but she felt like being wild, she felt like giving back to Christian. He was always so good to her and mostly she felt guilty that she had expected him to cause a scene with Mr Emerson and he had not, she still didn't know why he was so amused and she didn't care. She moved up and down, slowly grinding her hips, bringing Christian closer to his climax. She bends her head down and kisses his lips; he holds her head to kiss her longer. Then he pulls away, he can feel himself letting go and he doesn't want things to end so quickly.
"Fuck Ana, I am too close, slow down baby." Christian says panting.
Ana doesn't slow down, she quickens her movements and before Christian do anything else he feels himself explode, he grabs Ana's head and hungrily kisses her.
"Why did you do that?" he asks feeling himself go limp.
"I wanted to thank you?"
"Thank me, what for?" Christian asks looking confused.
"I thought that you would make a huge scene when you stormed in at lunch time, I doubted you and I feel terrible."
"I was going to make a huge seen but then I realized there was no need for a scene."
"What do you mean?" Ana asks confused.
"Matthew is not threat at all." Christian says. He grabs the sponge and begins to wash Ana; she sits still for a moment. Thinking and then it makes a whole lot of sense.
After their bath Ana climbs into bed, Christian reaches for his laptop and then Ana grabs her pillow and throws it at him. Christian looks at her and then he sets his laptop down and grabs Ana by her wrists. He yanks her onto the bed and then pins her down.
"Violence doesn't suit you Miss Steele."
"Really, then what does?" Ana asks feeling like she was going to explode. Even after all the time she has spent with Christian, he still makes her feel weak, he still makes the butterflies in her tummy flutter like they are going crazy and just looking into his eyes intoxicates her.
"My lips on yours." Christian says and then he lowers his head and takes Ana, just the way she loves him to.
