In the room they were all sitting chatting animatedly. I went to the kitchen and continued to prepare things for the movie.

—Are you mad at me? —he asked me behind me, but I didn't turn around.

I was, because he had hung up the phone on me.

—I thought you had something to do tonight?

—I have something to do with Elliot, but he insisted on coming here first.

I finished what I was doing and turned to him. I needed to tell him everything that was going on in my mind or I was going to explode.

—I know it was stupid what I did, but I will find a way to fix it. I know you asked me not to speak, that you would take care of everything, but seeing that you didn't say anything, I took the word. I'm sorry, it's something I do when I'm nervous, I do things without thinking about the consequences that will follow.

Christian stared at me without saying a word. I think I should give him time to process what I just said. I took the popcorns and set out to pass by him. But he didn't leave me. He stood in front of me and took the popcorn out of my hands and put it back on the counter.

— I'm sorry, Ana, I know I shouldn't have hung up on you, but I was upset. —he said to me as he passed his hands through his hair in frustration. —This is something new for me.

—What's new to you?

—Being in a relationship, having a girlfriend, making me jealous. I've never been jealous of anyone in my life. I've never been in a serious relationship to have to give explanations, or apologize when we argue. I've never been interested before in what the women I dated did. Until now.

I stared at him as I internalized what he had just told me.

— I' m your girlfriend?

—I thought we'd made that clear. —he said to me as he stuck to me, cornering me against the counter.

— I don't think we've cleared up so much the things. —I said to him as I began to get nervous because of his closeness.

—I thought that with the hot sex we had it was clear that we wanted each other.

—Well, that's clear to me.

— What do you want me to do, ask you officially? — he asked me frowning.

—It's not that, it's that I thought our relationship... —but he interrupted me.

—Anastasia...—he said to me as he glued herself to me, his forehead glued to mine, his lips tempting me to kiss them. — I've wanted you since you danced at the nightclub. Those movements were my downfall, and that spark that jumps between us when we are together is what makes me unable to get you out of my mind. You're my personal torture. Do you want to be my girlfriend?

I never would have imagined this.

Christian Grey asking me to be his girlfriend.

I smiled openly at him as I bit lightly on my lower lip.

—Can I think about it? — I asked, entangling my hands around his neck.

—Do you need to think about it? Because I can do something to convince you to accept. —he said to me, gluing his lips to mine and pulling my lower lip.

I swear that if I didn't have my hands entangled in his neck I'd be on the floor right now.

—I'd like you to try. —I whispered against his lips.

—Are you done with the popcorn? —Kate shouted from the living room.

Christian smiled against my lips. And at that moment I knew he was planning something perverse, for me to accept his proposal.

— We're on our way. —he shouted as he separated from me.

He yielded to me and I went out into the living room with the popcorn. I turned back to see Christian where I had left him.

—Aren't you coming?

—Now I'll go with you, I need to talk to Elliot. —he said as he beckoned to him.

I went on my way and sat in the living room next to Kate.

—Everything all right with Christian? —she asked me as I looked into the kitchen trying to guess what they were talking about.

—Yes, he just asked me to be his girlfriend. —I said to her without paying attention while I grabbed some popcorn.

—And you just say it like that. I imagine you said yes.

—I didn't answer. —I said to her, frowning as if I had the ability to read lips. —What are they talking about? —I asked her as Kate looked where I was looking.

—I still can't read lips, you know, but if I had to guess... I'd say they're talking about sex. —she answered me while I looked at her and laughed.

—And why should they be talking about sex? Can't they talk about something else?

—Believe me, and I know it from experience. When someone calls Elliot to talk to him about something, it's for two reasons, either for work or to invite him to have a sexual exchange. And between you and me, I don't think Christian is talking about work with him.

At that very moment Elliot stared in our direction.

—It's official Ana, they're talking about sex. I know that look on Elliot's face.

—Christian had told me he had something to do with Elliot tonight. Do you think that's what he meant?

—I don't think so, Elliot didn't tell me anything, and that's one of the agreements in our strange relationship.

I turned Christian's gaze away and stared at her to continue her explanation.

—We agreed not to engage in any sexual exchange if the other is not present.

—Ah.

Now I was understanding something. But I didn't understand why they were both staring in our direction. Christian put a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him. He left him standing in the kitchen as he headed in my direction.

He stopped in front of me smiling.

—Elliot needs to talk to you. —he said to Kate as she got up and walked away.

Christian sat next to me and ran his hand over my shoulders as he tucked a finger into my hair.

—What are you up to? — I asked him as all my skin stood up to his contact.

—I'm planning to pervert you a little.

—We're talking about sex, right?

He just smiled malevolently at me as with the other hand he pulled the hair away from my neck, and attracted me to kiss my neck. I closed my eyes as I felt his lips sliding down my neck, warming my skin.

—But I'm going to do it little by little, I don't want to scandalize you. —he said to me as he went down to my shoulder. —I don't want to miss any of your reactions. The other night we tried something, and you can't deny that you liked it. —he said to me as he separated his lips from my skin.

And then I stared him in the eyes.

—It was a bit frustrating at first, but yes, I liked the result. —I smiled at him.

—Let me ask you something. How would you feel about having sex in public?

—Horrified. —I answered without even thinking about it.

—And seeing someone practice it?

—I couldn't look.

—Have you ever seen a porn movie? —he asked me suddenly.

—Yes, but it's not the same.

—Of course it's not, when you see a movie you want to be the one who does everything or who gets it done, or am I wrong?

I couldn't answer. At what point had the conversation become so hot?

—I guess you've never had a threesome?

—No. —I could feel my cheeks burning as I answered him.

I haven't done much. My sexual relations were reduced to traditional sex, whether in a car or hidding. But nothing more. No sex toys. Until I met Christian and started introducing sex in a different way in my life.

—Would you like to participate in one?

And at that very moment hundreds of images began to pass through my mind. Images of hot sex between two men.

—I gues you are imagining what it would be like, but I assure you that what your mind imagines doesn't even come close to what it really feels like. —he said to me as he slid one hand down my cheek.

But I still didn't understand what all this conversation was about. Where was Christian going with all this?

—You don't have to be afraid of anything Anastasia, you already took a big step that night in the VIP when you submitted to my will and then at the party when you let me handcuff you to the bed.

—What do you want from me Christian? — I asked him as I lost in his eyes.

—I want you to let me guide you, to let me show you a different world than the one you know. A world of hidden and forbidden pleasures of which many dare not speak.

Did I want that?

So far, sex with Christian has been extraordinarily amazing. The best sex of my life. Was there anything more exciting than what he had shown me?

—I can see the curiosity reflected in your face, Anastasia.

—I can't help but be curious, that's what put me in this situation, right?

—I'm not going to force anything on you that you don't want, so if you agree, and you want to, we can start tonight.

—Tonight?

— Yeah, I'm dying to see your reaction.

—My reaction?

—Yeah, while we've been talking about sex, you know what Elliot's been doing with Kate?

—I don't know. —I couldn't tell because I was back to where they were in the kitchen. —Talking? —Christian smiled.

—Yes, they were doing that until just a few minutes ago, they're very busy with each other right now. —he couldn't be serious?

I turned gently into the kitchen. And I swear my eyes opened like a plate. I wasn't ready for what I was going to find.

— Today I want you to see, I want to know what you feel when you see two people having sex in front of you. I know it would be a lot to ask for the first time, but if you want we can join them... —and I stopped listening to what Christian was saying.

I couldn't concentrate on what he was telling me as I watched Kate naked, sitting on the counter while Elliot gave her pleasure with his mouth. I could see how she closed her eyes and let herself be carried away by the sensations that seized her. I could feel the groans escaping from her lips.

I tried to look away from there, but it was impossible.

Elliot stepped out of between her legs and up her body kissing her skin. He kissed her breasts and continued to climb until he joined his lips with hers. And then everything became more ardent, more passionate. Kate lowered her hands to Elliot's jeans and loosened them as Elliot lowered them completely next to the boxers. And then as she devoured one of her breasts with his mouth and pulled the nipple of the other with his hand, he got inside her.

This was too much for me.

There moans were perfectly heard where I was. I could see his movements clearly as he went in and out of her.

—Tell me what do you feel Anastasia? —he whispered in my ear.

I couldn't answer because I couldn't find the words to speak. But as I stared into my kitchen I felt a familiar sensation begin to grow inside of me. I felt my breathing accelerate and the blood begin to warm up in my veins. I felt my heart racing and my cheeks burning even more.

And I didn't understand.

I didn't understand why seeing what I was seeing, something forbidden, something that had never ever crossed my mind to do, could provoke this in me. I could not deny what I was feeling, it would be like deceiving myself.

I was excited.
