Chapter 36: Chapter 36

ANASTASIA

We had an amazing weekend, Christian and I definitely made up. I don't think I've ever been that sore before.

"I hope that huge smile is because of me." Christian says as he wraps his arms around me.

"Maybe." I say with a smirk.

"You are home early?" I say.

"Do you not want me here?" Christian asks pretending to be hurt.

"Of course I want you home, you can help me take care of a certain situation." I say wiggling my eyebrows.

"I'd be more than happy to help you Miss Steele." Christian says as I lead him to the bedroom. I push him on the bed and he has a huge smile.

"Where are you going?" Christian asks as I walk towards the closet.

"You see Mr. Grey, it appears when I got home today I realized that somehow clothes magically appeared in the closet." I say looking at him.

"I just thought you could use more clothes." Christian says shrugging his shoulders.

"Do you not like the clothes that I have?" I ask as he stands in front of me now.

"I love your clothes especially those sexy bra sets you wear that drive me nuts." Christian says making me laugh.

"You have great taste baby but I also know how much you hate shopping and thought that I could do this for you. Especially since you agreed to officially move in with me. You are going to need these dresses for the events we have and all that other stuff. I just figured I'd make things easier for you." I can't help but smile at how sweet that is. I give him a soft kiss.

"I know I might have gone a bit overboard but that's Kate's doing not mine." Christian says reading my mind making me laugh.

"Thank you Christian, the dinners and events didn't even cross my mind. Now that you bring it up I'm sure you can keep going alone." I say opening my eyes wide.

"Oh no my dear Anastasia, you are my girlfriend and you are stuck going to these things with me." Christian says kissing my neck making me laugh.

"We'll see." I can't help but laugh. Christian slaps my ass as I walk passed him.

"You're lucky dinners ready." Christian whispers in my ear as Gail lets us know dinner is served. I can't help but laugh making Christian smile.

"Tomorrow I have a meeting with Hunter to discuss the updates of the project since Elliot is out of town." Christian looks up at me and nods. I can see he's clenching his jaw.

"Baby it's okay to say what's on your mind. We discussed this, please don't shut down on me. I need to know what's on your mind."

"I hate the idea of you being alone with him but I know you can handle yourself." Christian reaches for my hand and kisses it.

"I won't be alone, Sawyer is going to be close by." I say making Christian smile.

We eat some desert while watching some TV. Christian answers a few emails, and reviews a few documents before we head to bed. We start walking to room when Christian's phone starts ringing.

"It's Ross, I'll make this quick." I blow him a kiss and he winks at me.

I grab a my purple lace bra and pantie set and put it on with my heals. I let my hair down and give it a little bit of a tease. I turn on a few candles and just as I'm about to lay down on the bed Christian walks in.

"Fuck!" Christian says before he kisses me roughly as he is now on top of me.

"Mm I want you so bad baby." I tell him.

I can see the hunger and passion in his eyes, he quickly strips out of his clothes and enters me making me moan in pleasure.

"You feel so good Ana." Christian says moving in a slow pace that is sweet torture. It feels so good but I want him to move faster. Christian kisses me as he keeps moving slowly. I can feel my orgasm building, I'm getting so close and so is he.

"Oh God Christian." I yell as I come shortly followed by Christian calling out my name.

"Fuck baby what was that?" Christian ask holding me close to him.

"That was pretty intense." I say kissing him softly as he smiles at me.

"I love you." Christian tells me kissing me softly, pulling me on top of him. We end up making love all night till we are exhausted.

The next morning goes by quickly. Elliot called me early to let me know he needed me to take care of some paper work he emailed me. I look at the time and realize it's almost time to meet with Hunter. I grab my purse and the folder so I can head out. I arrive at the restaurant and luckily Hunter hasn't arrived yet. I look over the paper work to update him on the progress, thankfully his building is almost done.

"Hello Ana, how are you doing?" Hunter says as he sits down.

"I'm doing great." I say shaking his hand. The waitress comes to take our order.

"First of I wanted to apologize..." Hunter starts to say.

"Hunter this is not the time or the place, it's in the past there's no need to bring it up again. Let's just say it's been forgotten and this is a work meeting nothing more." I say handing him the folder. Hunter gives me a smirk as the waitress brings us our drinks and tells us our food will be right out.

"As you can see your building shall be fully remodeled in two weeks time. It seems we are ahead of schedule."

"That's very impressive, I had asked Elliot to do his best and finish as soon as possible." Hunter tells me.

"Elliot is the best at what he does." I say. We discuss a few more things and I answer any questions he has. We actually finish just as the food comes. I didn't think we'd finish discussing everything so quick.

"Ana the food just got here lets not let it go to waist. It gives me time to think of more questions." Hunter says, it's like he knew I was thinking of leaving. We start eating our food and Hunter keeps looking at me, I know he wants to say something.

"Hunter just say whatever it is you've been holding in." I say giving him a stern look making him laugh.

"Ana aren't you curious at all?" I look at Hunter confused not sure what he's talking about. I mean I have an idea but I'm not going to let him know that. I shake my head letting him know to explain what he's talking about.

"After everything Christian and I said, you aren't curious about our past or how our twisted friendship was? Don't you want to know about how I left the lifestyle and tried to do normal but ended up going back?" Hunter asks and it's like he's getting upset that I show him nothing. I drink my tea before responding.

"Unless Christian already told you about my past." Hunter says and I just smile at him.

"I won't lie. I was a bit curious about your friendship with Christian but he was open about it and answered my questions even when it was hard for me to hear, he was still honest." Hunter raises his eyebrow like he's in shock at what I just said.

"If you know Christian at all, you would know that he would never betray your trust, it's not the kind of person he is. Before you say anything, yes he can make dumb decisions just like you did but who doesn't." I say.

"I didn't know that Christian was so open about his lifestyle and past, he's always been so private about it just like me. To be honest I don't believe he's being completely honest. There's no way in hell you would still be with him if you knew every sorted detail." Hunter seems like he's thinking about something but then he smiles up at me.

"I take it you are curious about me trying to do the normal relationship and why I would be so sure just like me Christian will eventually crave the lifestyle again. Come Ana are you going to tell me you have no doubts at all." I know Hunter is waiting to get a reaction out of me but I just look up at him and give him my best smile.

"Since we're being so honest here, you should know that it doesn't matter if you believe Christian is being completely honest with me or not. What matters is I trust him enough to believe that he is telling me everything, by the look you're giving me if Christian is keeping something from me I take it, it has to do with your past which is understandable that he wouldn't tell me because it's not his story to tell. Just so you know I do know every sorted detail and the reason I am still with him is because it's part of his past. Hunter when your in love with someone you love all of them good and bad." I say as Hunter studies me.

"Christian played a big part in all this Ana and I think you should know about it." Hunter says after a while.

"If Christian thinks I should know I trust him enough to tell me. As far as your back story I'm not curious and I don't need to know because I'm not interested in you so there's no need for me to ask you. I'm in love with Christian and there's nothing you can say that will change what we have. It doesn't matter if you think I'm his sub or if you believe that I'm more to him because I know what he and I have is real. I know you are dying to tell me about your past but I don't want to hear it besides I'm done with my lunch so I will be leaving now." I say leaving him stunned. Sawyer has a smile as he follows me out.

"You left him speechless and I'm sure he got the message loud and clear." Sawyer says as we get into the SUV.

"But?" I say with a smile.

"I think in a sense he's more intrigued by you. You were calm and didn't react which was shocking to him but I think at this point he's going to test how real you and Christian are." Sawyer tells me.

"That's not good." I say. Sawyer nods in agreement.

We get back to the office and I call Christian. "Hey baby."

"Did you even let the phone ring." I say laughing.

"Of course it rang otherwise I wouldn't have answered it." Christian says and I know he's smiling.

I ask him about his day and then I tell him what happened during lunch and I know he's surprised at how I handled it.

"Ana don't take this the wrong way but you had asked me about his past." Christian says and I knew he was going to ask.

"Not because I'm interested Christian I was more curious as to what part Jacqueline played in it."

"That makes sense. Are you curious to know what my part in it was?" Christian asks.

"Curiosity killed the cat my dear." I say laughing.

"Ana, I'm being serious."

"Christian of course I'm curious because it makes for a good story line." I can hear Christian laugh.

"You always did love your books."

"I still do. Christian it's not because I believe Hunter or care for him. If you played a part in it it's part of your past. I love you and it's not going to make a difference. If you don't think it's important for me to know then I trust your judgment. I haven't asked you about it because I haven't thought about it and today with Hunter I figured it would be best to get it over with and not give him more opportunities." I say and I can hear Christian sigh.

"I love you more and I'm glad your lunch went really great. I'm about to go into a meeting right now but we'll talk more when we get home." Christian tells me.

"Okay enjoy the rest of the your day and don't work to hard." I say making him laugh.

"Ana?"

"Yessss?"

"I love you." Christian says as he hangs up.

I hope he believes me. I decided to get to work to try and beat Christian home, maybe I can help Gail make a special dessert.
