A/N This is another idea that came to me one night.

My name is Anastasia Steele and I am 21 years old and just graduated from NYU with a degree in literature. For the past 6 months I've been employed at Cross Publishing in New York City as a fiction editor. I've never dated because I've never found anyone that lives up to what I read about in British literature. I want a love like that. One that you read about in a great romance novels. I know I have unrealistic expectations but I'm determined and when I set my mind to something, there's no changing it.

It's Friday morning and like every other workday I'm getting ready to go to work. My roommate, Cammy is running around like a mad woman trying to clean up after the party she decided to throw last night. At these parties, I stay with Cammy and our friends and ignore the advances of the men that attempt to get into my panties. Cammy is another story. "Cammy, slow down. Nurse your hangover first before you get sick or pass out." I hand her some advil and a glass of water.

"Thanks babe. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Probably die of alcohol poisoning or starvation."

"True. I can barely operate the microwave."

We laugh. "I've got to head out to work. Behave today. I'll see you when I get home." I give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Laters babe!"

I arrive at the Crossfire building and go to wait for the elevator. As I'm waiting a tall buff man with dark hair and blue eyes joins me and presses a number into the keypad I thought was for security. The doors open within moments and I just look at his handsome chiseled face curious what just happened as he signals for me to go ahead of him.

"How, what just happened?"

He smirks and puts his hand out. "I am Gideon Cross and that was my personal access code. I own this building."

I gasp as I take his hand and feel a surge of electricity course through my veins. "Anastasia Steele, Cross Publishing, Fiction editor." I don't realize it but I stand there still holding onto his hand savoring my contact with this Greek God. I go to release his hand and he tightens his grip preventing me from letting go. He lifts my hand to his mouth and brushes his lips lightly across my knuckles.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Anastasia. You're a very beautiful woman."

I blush. "Thank you. You're pretty handsome yourself."

He smiles, showing his perfect teeth. "Would you like to join me for lunch today Anastasia? I'd really like to get to know you."

"I would like that Mr. Cross. You know where to find me." I step onto my tippy toes as the elevator doors open and kiss his cheek. I exit the elevator and look over my shoulder and wink at him.

I'm working on a manuscript when there's a knock on the door at 12:40. I invite whomever it is in without even looking up. I look up and see Mr. Greek God. "I'm sorry. I must have lost track of time." I sit my manuscript on the desk and gather my things.

"It's fine angel. Shall we?" he holds his arm out for me to take and I gladly accept it. When we get to the elevator he puts his code in again and we enter and he places his hand on the small of my back sending shivers down my spine.

When the elevator closes I feel this strong surge of energy again and gasp and look up.

"I feel it too angel."

I smile and blush.

We enter his office on the 30th floor and he escorts me to a couch and sits beside me and starts to take food out of bags in front of us on the table. "I didn't know what you like so I got a little of everything." He smiles a grin that makes my panties wet.

"Thank you Mr. Cross. It looks delicious."

"Gideon please. Dig in Goddess."

I start to eat like it's my last meal because it is soooooo delicious like the man beside me. Where did that come from? I notice he is staring as he eats his own food. I swallow what's in my mouth and look at him smiling. "what?"

"I love to watch you eat."

I blush. "I'd rather eat something not on this table." Crap. I said that out loud. I blush and cover my mouth. "I'm sorry that wasn't supposed to come out of my mouth."

He chuckles me. "Don't be sorry. I'm flattered. I was kinda thinking the same thing." He winks at me. Mmm.. I'm not sure why but I really want this man.

I continue eating and after I finish eating the questions start coming.

"So tell me about yourself Anastasia."

"I'm 21, I'm from Seattle. I graduated from NYU this year. I love literature. What else is there you would like to know Gideon?"

"Are you single?"

"I am. You?"

" I am also. Would you like to accompany me to dinner tonight?"

"I'd love to."

"What time do you get off work?"

"5. And then I just need to go back to my apartment and change."

"I'll pick you up at 6. I just need your address."

I give him my address. I get ready to leave but he takes my hand and pulls me flush against his chiseled body and I gasp. He cups my face in his hand and kisses me softly and I feel the fluttering in my stomach. Oh my God!

"I will see you at 6 Anastasia."

"Ana please. My parents called me Anastasia when I was in trouble."

"Okay Ana." He kisses me again but this time he goes to deepen the kiss and I let him. I caress his tongue with my own and when he pulls away I'm breathless. "breathe Ana. Let me walk you back to your office." I nod.

He takes my hand and I feel the butterflies in my lower half. When we get into the elevator he punches in my floor number then suddenly pulls out a key and puts it in the panel and turns around and kisses me with a passion. I wrap my arms around him as he pushes me up against the wall off the elevator and pulls me up the wall and I wrap my legs around his waist. "I want you so much Ana."

"And I want you too Gideon but there's something you should know."

He looks concerned at me.

"I'm a virgin."

He gives me a panty dropping smile. "I can live with that." And he kisses me again softly and puts me down and straightens my skirt out and straightens up his suit. I know my face shows disappointment. "Not like this Ana. Tonight. If you want to. It's completely up to you." He kisses me softly again and starts the elevator back up. I touch my bruised lips thinking about what just happened. That was hot.

When we get to my floor, he takes my hand again and walks me back to my office and kisses me again. "Until tonight Ana." He whispers against my lips and pecks me one last time and winks and walks out. I am swooning over that handsome man.

At 5 o clock, I head for home highly anticipating the probability of losing my virginity tonight.

After I get home I let Cammy know I'm going out tonight and not to wait up for me.

"Oh Ana. Go get some girl. I'm having Kate over then."

"That's fine." I kiss her forehead and get dressed. I hear the doorbell while I'm putting the finishing touches on my light makeup. Cammy comes rushing in.

"GIDEON CROSS?! YOU'RE GOING ON A DATE WITH THE GIDEON CROSS?!"

"Calm down. Yes. Why are you acting like it's such a big deal?"

"He is a multibillionaire who owns half of Manhattan, that's why! Omg! Go get it girl! Let me have him if it doesn't work out."

I can't believe he is rich. It's irrelevant to me though because I just want him however I can get him. His body calls to me and touches me in places I didn't know existed.

I walk out to the living room where he is standing with a bouquet of roses. Swoon.

"You look stunning Ana."

I walk up to him and kiss his cheek. "You look quite handsome yourself."

He gives me his panty dropping smile and I stand on my tippy toes and kiss him softly on the lips. I take the flowers and put them in a vase and he takes my hand and leads me out of the apartment.

He continues to stare at me intermittently all the way out to his Towncar where an older gentleman is holding the door open. "Miss Steele, Mr. Cross."

"Thank you Angus."

We get in and close the door and I look questionably at him. "My driver." I nod. He holds my hand and kisses me softly and I deepen it putting my tongue into his mouth and he puts arm around my waist and the other hand in my hair. "We better stop or we will never make it to dinner." He whispers against my lips and I simply nod.

When we arrive at the seemingly fancy restaurant. He walks around and opens my door, and holds his hand out for me to take to get out. I stand up and look around. Definitely a fancy restaurant. Of course it is.. billionaire. I'll never wrap my mind around that.

As we are seated at the booth he scoots in beside me and we sit at the back of the booth. He puts his hand on my thigh and gently rubs. "Don't be intimidated. You get used to it." And winks at me and kisses my nose.

As we eat our meals we engage in conversation about our early life. I leave out the part about husband number three. He whose name shall never be spoken. "I've never brought a woman out in public before Ana. This is a first."

I blush again. This man has a hotline to my blushes and groin. "I've never even been on a date so I guess this is new to both of us."

"How did you stay a virgin this long Ana? You're so beautiful and kind. You must have men throwing themselves at you." I bite my lip.

"Never one I've wanted" I whisper and kiss his cheek.

"Ana, if I'm being honest, I've never wanted a relationship before, ever. Something about you pulls me to you and…." He sighs, "I want more with you. So much more. So if you give me your virginity I will never let you go."

I scoot even closer, if that's possible and whisper in his ear, "then never let me go Gideon."

He smiles a panty dropping smile and gives me a deep kiss with one hand on the side of my face. "Never, Ana. Can I call you my girlfriend now?"

I nod and smile. "Of course." I give him a kiss back and weave my fingers through his hair as my tongue explores his mouth.

After several minutes, we break apart, "let me take you home with me Ana."

"Take me Gideon. I'm all yours."

He grins his panty dropping smile and takes my hand and throws a couple hundred dollar Bills on the table and leads me out of the booth and we quickly slide out of the restaurant into the car.

When we get into the car I climb into his lap and he wraps me in his arms and I crash my lips to his as he slides a hand up my skirt. "mmm. Thigh highs. I approve Miss Steele."

He continues his journey to my core and gently rubs me through my panties with his lips still firmly attached to mine, exploring and caressing my tongue with his.

He scoots my panties to the side and begins to rub my folds gently and pushes one finger inside and I gasp and moan into his mouth. "So wet and ready for me Ana."

I continue to run my fingers through his hair and kiss him with fervor and lust. After a few more minutes, we hear his driver, "We've arrived Mr. Cross."

We break apart and I climb off his lap and adjust myself and he climbs out and takes my hand and helps me out and we walk quickly into the building to a private elevator and on the way up, we can't keep our hands and mouths off each other.

When the elevator dings, he scoops me up and carries me bridal style into his place. I don't care what kind of place it is right now. I only care about having this man right here.

When we get to a bedroom, he let's me down in front of him and he pushes my hair out of my face and continues to kiss me deeply whilst unzipping my dress and pulling it off my shoulders and it drops to the ground and I'm left standing there in my bra, panties and garter belt, thigh highs and heels. He steps back to take me in. His eyes roaming my body. "so beautiful Ana." He pulls me to him again and I help him take his tie off and push his jacket off his shoulders and help him strip out of his clothes until he is left in his boxers. I step back and take him in.

"So handsome. I want all of you Gideon." He sits me down on the edge of the bed and helps me out of my heels and bra and lays me down in the center of the bed. I'm panting heavily as he lays on top of me towering over me rubbing his massive erection against my core through our remaining clothes. He kisses me softly and peppers kisses down from my mouth to my neck. I weave my fingers through his hair. His hands are roaming my body waking up all my nerve endings. He continues to lick and kiss along my collar bone and then works his way down to my breasts taking turns with licking nipping and sucking my nipples he continues his journey peppering kisses along my stomach down to my panties. He hooks his thumbs in the sides of my panties and gently pulls them down gently brushing his fingertips down my legs as he goes. My nerve endings are all on fire at this point.

After he runs his fingers lightly up to the top of my thigh highs and starts licking and nipping his way to my core. I'm writhing in pleasure and moaning his name as his lips, tongue and teeth make contact with my swollen clit. He continues to lick at my core and inserts his tongue into my core and I instantly cum on his tongue and he licks ferociously and moves back up to my clit with his mouth. Next thing I know, he puts a finger into my core and starts moving it in and out and I instantly cum again. Omg. This is amazing. He licks up all my juices and he starts his journey back up my body kissing and licking until he makes his way to my mouth and kisses me deeply and I can taste myself on his mouth. He pulls off his boxers and kicks them off the bed. "Are you on birth control?"

"Yes, to regulate my period."

I look down and catch sight of his huge cock and my eyes go wide. He smirks. "Don't worry. You will stretch." I relax. He positions himself at my entrance and looks deeply into my eyes. "Are you sure you want this? If we do this, I'm never going to lose you so what do you want Ana?"

Breathing heavily I manage to say, "I want you, inside me Gideon." He slowly starts to enter me and I moan as he gets deeper.

"This may hurt for just a little bit but I won't move after until you're comfortable, okay?"

I nod. He pushes through what I'm guessing is my hymen and I groan as the burning sensation hhits.He stills. "you okay?" he asks.

"I'm fine now. Move please." He begins slowly thrusting in and out and I feel that now familiar build. And I cum gloriously around his cock.

He stops for a second. "I don't want to cum yet but you feel so good. So tight."

"Move please baby." He starts moving again slowly. In and out. He goes a little deeper each time.

"Cum with me Ana." I let go and cum hard around his cock again taking him with me. "Holy fuck Ana." He collapses on me. "That was fucking phenomenal. Oh my God. You're perfect." He props himself up on his elbows and cups my face with his hands as I lay there unable to speak. That was amazing. "Did you enjoy that?"

"MMMHHMMM" He smiles and kisses me softly and pulls out and I wince slightly.

"You okay goddess?"

"Mmm hmm." I manage to get out with a grin on my face. This is euphoria. And I fucking love it. I've had a bite and now I want more. Now I know what all the hype about sex is. "How do people ever stop doing that? My God. My mind is blown."

He chuckles. "I have to say, sex never felt so amazing before to me. Every other woman I've ever been with was just a quick fuck and go. You're different." I roll over and lay my head on his chest and trace his muscular abs with my finger.

"I want more." I glance up at him and he is smiling at me.

"Insatiable already." He rolls me over and scoots us over a little out of the blood stain we left. He makes love to me again giving me another 3 orgasms.

"You're gonna be sore in the morning. It's normal after your first time. I'll get you some advil to head it off." I nod and he goes to her me advil and I take it and put my glass of water on the nightstand. He lays back down beside me and I curl up into his chest and he rubs my back. "sleep angel." He says as I drift off to sleep.

I wake up in the morning and stretch. I look over at the greek God beside me sleeping peacefully. I snuggle into his chest again and kiss his chest and just admire his beautiful face. His perfectly sculpted face. I decide to go check out his place. His bedroom his huge and this is by far the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. I give him a soft kiss on the lips and get up and go out of the door to find a massive restroom with a huge shower. I decide to take a shower. I climb in and I stand and let the water cascade over me and it feels amazing. I am sore just like he said I would. I use his body wash and shampoo and get cleaned up. Mmm.. now I smell like him. I use his tooth brush and brush my teeth. I finish in the restroom and roam back into the bedroom and I can see the blood stain on the sheets and blush. I walk into his closet and find a t-shirt and boxers and put them on. I don't want to wear my dress just yet. I find another door and roam out into a huge beautiful room. This must be his living area. I wander in and find the kitchen. I'm alarmed when a woman walks in and I jump.

"I'm sorry Miss Steele, I'm Mrs. Smith, Mr. Cross's housekeeper. I was just getting ready to make some breakfast for you and Mr. Cross."

"I'm sorry I wasn't warned about other people being here. It's fine. I didn't get the chance to look around last night so I was just checking the place out. It's beautiful."

"It is. Would you like something to drink? There's a lovely view out the window over there."

"Tea please. Twinnings if you have it. Bag out."

"Yes ma'am. I'll have it shortly. You should go look at the view while you wait." I nod and walk over to the floor to ceiling windows. A perfect view of New York city. You can see everything from here.

Mrs. Smith brings me my tea and I sit on the chair by the window and enjoy the view. I'm startled again when I feel strong hands on my shoulders. I look up and see the Greek God standing over me. I lean my head back hoping for a kiss and he leans down and softly kisses my lips. "I see you met Mrs. Smith. How did you sleep?"

"Excellent, you?"

"I slept great with you by my side. I usually only get 4 or 5 hours a night. Nightmares usually plague me but last night, nothing."

I smile. "I took a shower and used your toothbrush and clothes."

He grins down at me. "I know. Are you sore?"

"Mm. A little but a good sore and it's so worth it."

He smiles and leans down and kisses me again. He walks around the chair and picks me up and sits back down with me in his lap. "amazing view isn't it?"

"It's extraordinary Gideon. I could look at it all day." It's only then I realize I could stare at him all day too.

He runs his fingers through my hair and kisses me passionately and it sets off the fire in my belly again. After a few moments he breaks the kiss. "We better stop or we will never get our breakfast until it's cold."

I smile brightly. "I don't mind."

"As tempting as that is, we need sustenance for stamina. It's Saturday and you can stay all weekend if you like. I rather enjoy your company."

"And I enjoy yours Gideon. Last night was by far the best night of my life and I want more." I sit my teacup down on the end table and wrap my arms around his neck running my fingers through his damp hair. "I think I'll keep you. I've never even had a boyfriend before. Never had an orgasm before last night and OMG! You rendered me speechless. And before yesterday I never had anything more than a simple close mouthed kiss. I've avoided men since… I've avoided men."

"Since what Ana? Did someone hurt you?"

I feel the tears threatening to fall and nod. "My Mom's third husband. He used to watch me shower and touched me inappropriately and made me touch him. Mom didn't believe me but I was finally able to go back to Ray before he raped me. Ray is my first step dad who has always been there for me. My Mom had forced me to go with her to live with 3 and I had to leave him. I was devastated and he felt horrible when he found out what happened." I explain as the tears start to fall. He pulls me to his chest and holds me.

"Shh Goddess. I got you now. No one will hurt you anymore. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I had some things happen to me too. I'll explain that later. We should eat first."

I nod. I sit up and he wipes my tears with his thumbs and kisses me softly. "I've got you as long as you'll have me Goddess."

We eat breakfast and go straight to the bedroom afterwards. I push him down on the now clean bed and pull his boxers down and kiss the tip of his erection and use my hands and gently stroke his length, hoping I'm doing this right. Judging from his expression I am. I kneel down in front of him and slowly lick the end of his shaft and swirl my tongue around the end of his length before taking him into my mouth slowly sucking and licking up and down his shaft going further down every single time. "Fuck Ana." I continue to stroke, lick and suck simultaneously going deeper and deeper on his cock until it hits the back of my throat. "oh my God woman." He screams. I continue to work up and down his shaft. "I'm gonna cum if you don't stop." I don't stop and I feel his member spurt into the back of my throat and I swallow and suck and lick until he is clean and I sit back on my heels proud licking my lips. He grabs me and crashes his lips to mine and explores my mouth. "Have you ever done that before?" I shake my head no. "Fuck. You have no gag reflex. You're fucking amazing." He kisses me again deeply.

He picks me up and flops me down onto the bed and dives into me and fucks me into oblivion until I cum repeatedly.

By Sunday, he talks me into just grabbing some clothes from my place and staying the night again because he sleeps better with me. He told me a little about how he was molested as a child and how he still has nightmares about it but he hasn't had one the past 2 nights since I've been here. I'm extremely sore today but this weekend was so worth it.

Gideon's driver Angus drives me back home so I can pick up some clothes. I walk through the front door to find Kate and Cammy sitting on the couch smiling knowingly at me. "So, tell us.. how was Mr. Billionaire?"

"Fucking amazing. I don't have anything to compare it to but omg. If this is how sex is for everyone, I don't see how people have time for anything else, ever."

They grin. "Come get a drink. We have to celebrate your lack of virginity."

I giggle. "I would but Gideon's driver is waiting on me. I'm grabbing some work clothes. I'm gonna stay the night again."

Kate is the first to jump up and envelop me in a big hug. "Are you falling in love?"

"Maybe? It's too soon for all that. He is my boyfriend though." I grin liking that this handsome man is my first everything so far.

"Go get your stuff together. I expect details, lunch tomorrow. The café across from Crossfire."

"Okay. I will see you all then." I go gather my stuff and leave giving the ladies hugs.

When I arrive back at Gideon's penthouse, Mrs. Smith informs me he is in his study and that he insisted I interrupt him.

I walk into the study and knock lightly. He looks up and smiles and signals for me to get the door. I close and lock it and I walk around the desk to him and he asks me to take my panties off. I reach under my skirt and remove my panties. He kicks his boxers off and pulls me onto his lap straddling him and he kisses me deeply and I grind against his prominent erection. He lifts me up above his erection and slowly lowers me onto it. I gasp and moan. I have my hands on the back of his seat and we just sit there looking at each other panting. "Now you can move." He says and I gently lift up and drop back down over and over while grinding on his erection. "fuck Ana. Faster." I move faster up and down his shaft and he holds my hips and guides me. He shifts his hips so it's deeper and I gasp and moan. "cum with me Ana." He says and I combust around him screaming his name and he does the same.

I lay my head on his shoulder and try to control my breathing. "Phenomenal."

"Agreed. You're an amazing lover considering you're inexperienced Ana. We fit so perfectly together. I swear we were made for each other."

"Mmmhmm. I don't ever want to move."

He chuckles. "stand up goddess."

I stand up as I'm told. "bend over the desk and hold onto the edges."

I do as I'm told. He lifts my skirt and spanks my butt lightly and plunges into my core again. I moan. He strokes in and out over and over. "faster and harder please Gideon."

He thrusts faster and harder until we both cum gloriously. "Fuck."

He collapses onto me. "I almost want to keep you by my side always so we can do this any and everywhere goddess."

"mm. If I didn't have to work, I would love that."

He stands up and pulls out and pulls his boxers back on and helps me up and sits me on his lap on his chair. "You could stay with me and you'd never have to work Ana."

"But I do Gideon. I realize you're apparently made of money but I'm not and I don't like relying on anyone to get what I want or need. I'm an independent woman and I want to keep that identity. It's not your money I want. It's just you. I honestly didn't know you were rich until my friend told me. I hadn't put everything together."

He grins. "A woman not after money. I love that about you. I love that you're independent and even offered the world at your feet, you turn it down for your independence. Not many people are like that. Most would jump at the chance to just be spoiled but not you Ana Steele. I respect the hell out of that. You continue to surprise me Goddess."

I grin and softly kiss his lips.

"I just remembered. I have a charity event in Seattle to make an appearance at on Friday. Would you be interested in being my date? I will gift you the dress and get you a spa day if you agree."

"I would love to Gideon." I kiss him again. "Now let's take this party back to your room." He picks me up and carries me through his penthouse back to his room eagerly to make love to me yet again.

It's Friday morning again and my boss's boss's boss has given me the day off for a spa day before we get on his jet to Seattle so I can get waxed, plucked and manicured in preparation for the Coping together gala in Seattle. Kate is coming along because she was invited by her family. After a spa day, Gideon and his driver pick us up from the salon and take us to the airport and we board the jet. Once in the air he takes me to the back cabin to join the real mile high club. After our incredible sex, we get dressed for the Gala as we're going straight there when we land. We let Kate use the room to get dressed after we're ready and she comes out grinning telling us how it smells like sex in there and I just blush and giggle.

When we land we're greeted by a limousine and we pile in.

When we arrive at the gala I'm extremely nervous. I've never been to am event like this. "Calm down. You will be great. I will be right beside you the whole time." He gives me a soft kiss. We arrive at a huge mansion and when we get out, we are guided down a red carpet around to the back of the house where there's a huge tent set up. He keeps his hand at the exposed skin on the small of my back giving me the warm and tinglies. We stop and pose for photos and he informs me the pictures will be used for the newspaper here in Seattle and possibly other places and that we can purchase copies afterwards.

We walk through the tent and he introduces me to numerous people. I shake hands with everyone and act as if I belong here. Apparently I'm doing a good job because he keeps telling me so.

The last people he introduces me to are the Greys. Grace, Carrick, Mia, Elliot, and Christian. I shake all their hands.

"Ana, will you please join the first dance auction. Proceeds all go to Coping together." Mia asks sounding like a peppy Energizer bunny.

"Okay. It's for a good cause." She jumps up clapping and comes running around the table and engulfs me in a bear hug so tight I can barely breathe.

"Mia, let the lady breathe.," says Carrick.

She finally releases me. Enthusiastic little fireball. "I'm sorry Ana."

"We're gonna go find our seats." I smile and nod and follow Gideon to our table. I keep getting a feeling someone is staring at me so I look around and find Christian Grey staring at me with an impassive look on his face.

I shake my head and look back to my date. He is rubbing my thigh gently and talking to everyone around the table as we eat. He kisses me throughout and when it comes time for the auction he wins me the first edition tess books and a week's vacation at a ski resort in Aspen, Colorado.

It's time for the first dance auction and I'm scared of having to dance with someone else. Gideon whispers in my ear, "I'll get you babe. Trust me. Every penny I pay goes to a good cause like you said and you will always be worth it."

"I trust you." I give him a deep kiss and walk off to join Mia and some other women on stage. Most the women go for $5,000 or $10,000. Kate goes for $50,000 to Elliot Grey. Next is my turn and I'm already blushing and the spotlight is on me.

"Next up is the lovely Anastasia. She is a world class chef and can speak 6 different languages and plays the trombone. Bids will start $1,000."

"10,000" says Gideon and I smile.

"20,000" says another voice that I don't know.

"50,000" says Gideon again.

"100,000" says the other person who I now recognize as Christian Grey. What the fuck?

"500,000" what the fuckkk?

"1,000,000" I'm about to pass out at this point.

"5,000,000" says Gideon again.

Everyone is gasping at this point.

"10,000,000" WHAT THE FUCK!?

"25,000,000" Says Gideon and Christian finally gives up. That was a billionaire pissing contest and I'm humiliated.

Gideon helps me off the stage, "are you insane, you just paid more money than I will ever be likely to make in my life for a dance which I will give you for free anytime."

"Good cause goddess. We discussed this. You don't want to dance with Christian Grey. Trust me."

"I'd rather dance with you, of course but why is it so bad to dance with him?"

"He's sadist Ana. He likes to beat women for sexual gratification. He cannot be trusted."

I gasp and I'm sure my face shows my disgust. "in that case thank you baby." I kiss him deeply and he holds me flush against him with his fingers knotted in my hair.

"We should stop before I have to take you here in front of everyone." I smile because honestly I wouldn't mind at this point. I just want this man. "Maybe I'll take you in the bathroom but not out here. I don't want anyone else to see my girl cum."

I nod. "after your insanely expensive dance. Better get your money's worth."

"Oh, I already have my money's worth and more. I have you."

Sweetest words ever. "Oh Gideon." I kiss him sweetly. "Always."

When it's time for the dance, Gideon escorts me to the dance floor for my expensive dance and holds me close. I'm falling in love with this man. As we sway to the music he whispers, "I'm falling in love with you Ana Steele and it terrifies me."

I look up at him and tippy toe and lean my forehead against his. "I'm falling in love with you too Gideon Cross and I'm scared too."

He reaches down and kisses me deeply as we continue swaying.

The music changes and we stop kissing but continue dancing with my head laid on his chest and my eyes closed because someone has eyes on me and I'm willing to bet that it is Christian Grey. I don't know him so I don't know what his deal is but I'll be damned if he will ever beat me in this lifetime.

"Take me to bed and love me Gideon." He takes my hand and we stop at the table to pay and he writes out a check and gets my new tess books as well as copies of our pictures. Who is able to just write a check for over $25,000,000 without batting an eye? Apparently Gideon Cross.

We go to the Fairmont leaving Kate behind but I text her to let her know.

Going to the Fairmont. We will pick you up later if you need a ride. We will leave tomorrow. -A

Probably staying with Elliot tonight. He is so fucking hot. He already took me in the bathroom and he is good at fucking. Let me know what time we leave and I'll get a ride or let you know if I need one. Have fun. -K

You have fun too. -A

Christian's POV

Tonight I am attending the Coping Together Gala and I'm mesmerized by the woman accompanying Gideon Cross. When she shook my hand, I felt a spark I've never felt before. I feel like I've got to have her. Gideon is a playboy so surely it's just a passing thing. He's never dated anyone, just like me. I don't bring women to events though and he normally doesn't either. I usually avoid these things but something told me I should come tonight.

Mia loved her instantly. I tried to get her alone with the auction but Gideon outbid me with 25 million dollars. I figured out he wasn't giving up so I decided to back down when it got that high. Why would I pay that much for a woman. I just beat and fuck women and send them on their way. I don't know what the hell kind of spell Anastasia Steele is letting off but it's really fucking with my mojo.

And then Gideon and Anastasia were practically fucking on the dancefloor. It made me see red. She should be mine. When they left, I decided to go home and beat my current sub, Susannah. That should help me take my mind off Anastasia.

Gideon's POV

Somehow I got myself the most amazing woman. Ana's had a rough start in life but now she is strong and independent and so fucking sexy and beautiful. I've never felt this way about anyone before. I don't know what to do about these feelings. It terrifies me.

I may be a multibillionaire but nothing in my life has ever made me happier than Anastasia Steele has in just a week. I can't ever lose her. I've got to keep this woman.

Tonight at the Gala I introduced her into my world of Galas and events and she did fantastic. The only problem we had was Christian Grey trying to move in on my woman. I know that he has predilections for beating women that look like my Ana. I will never let him near my woman, which is why I gladly bid 25,000,000 for her to keep his paws off her.

I confessed my feelings to her and she feels the same. I'm elated. I brought her back to the hotel and we fucked for hours before she finally passed out and now I'm just watching her beautiful face as she sleeps. She looks so peaceful. This woman gifted me her virginity. She's slept beside me every night since that first night we made love.

I've never slept beside a woman before. I've never declared a relationship before. I've only fucked and left. I never brought anyone to my penthouse. I knew Ana was different the moment I met her. I knew she would break through my dark, dark soul and she did. The fact that she doesn't care for my money makes her more special. Part of the reason I've never even tried dating was because most women are gold diggers but not my Ana. If it wasn't so soon, I'd ask her to move in. I want her all the time.

When I'm not with her, I'm thinking about her. I hope I can keep her happy forever. She's a simple woman and I will do everything in my power to keep her happy. I know I can't buy my way to it so I have to figure out how to be a proper romantic to keep my woman. I fall asleep and dream of my Goddess.

Ana's POV

I woke up in the morning feeling hot. So hot. I slowly rolled over to find my Greek God sleeping peacefully. I use my fingers to trace his beautiful face and kiss the stubble on his jaw. I gently rub his cheek and kiss his beautiful lips.

I decide to get up and order breakfast so I slide out of bed and make my way to the sitting area of our suite. I order room service and think about my man.

I'm irrevocably in love with Gideon Cross. When I'm not with him, I'm thinking about him. I dread any time that we cannot be together. Next week he is coming back to Seattle to try to purchase a Publishing company to make into another branch of Cross Publishing. He wants me to come along and I've agreed because I hate the idea of him being away. I know we've only known each other just over a week but without a doubt has been the best week of my life.

When breakfast arrives I have them place it on the table and go to wake up my Gideon.

I come into the room to find him sprawled out on the bed. I climb up onto the bed and straddle him and pepper kisses on his face. "Gideon baby, wake up."

His eyes flutter open and he smiles at me and flips me over and he unties my robe and thrusts into me unexpectedly. He kisses me deeply and thrusts into me swirling his hips. I meet him thrust for thrust. I cum pretty quickly but he keeps going "One more time Ana. Cum on me baby."

I clench as my body reaches a highly intense orgasm. He cries my name out as he continues thrusting a few more times and finds his release. "Fuck, I love you Ana."

I look up at him and touch his face gently, "I love you too Gideon."

"I want to wake up to you every day like we have been. I know it's early but move in with me?"

"Baby, let me think about it. I want to wake up next to you every day as well but moving in is a pretty big deal. I just need a little time."

"Take your time Goddess. At least it wasn't a no."

I smile, "breakfast is here. It may be getting cold. Also I need to let Kate know what time the jet is leaving. "

He pulls out of me and I wince. "10 am baby."

I nod and put my robe back on and go to find my phone.

Kate the jet leaves at 10. Do you need a ride? -A

Yes please. Here's the address. -K

At 9:30 we arrive at the address to pick up Kate.

"I'll go get her. I'll be right back." I give him a kiss and go up to the door. I knock and Elliot answers.

"You must be Ana. Come in." I walk in and there sits Christian Grey. "This is my brother Christian."

"Yes, I met him, he got my boyfriend to pay $25 million for a dance with me. Where's Kate?"

Kate comes walking out about that time clearly doing the walk of shame. She looks thoroughly fucked. She jumps Elliot and gives him an obscene kiss and he gropes her ass. "Laters baby." Elliot says.

"I'll see you later Ana," says Christian.

"I doubt that Christian. I'll see you later though Elliot if you intend to keep screwing my friend's brains out." He laughs. Christian doesn't look too amused. Not that I give a fuck. He isn't beating on me. Besides, I happen to be in love with a great man.

"Oh, I will see you again Ana. Trust me."

"Never will I trust you. If you think you're ever going to get the chance to whip me, you are sorely mistaken." I say and walk out the door.

I'm proud of myself for spitting that out. I get back to the car and Kate and I tell Gideon what just transpired and he is proud of me but we all have a good laugh on Christian's behalf.

Christian's POV

What just happened? How could she possibly know that about me? She's a firecracker. She doesn't fuck around and beat around the Bush. She gets straight to the point. I now had to try to blow off what she just says to Elliot but he doesn't seem convinced that I'm telling the truth but he still drops it.

I have to get a background check on her.

When I leave I take my phone out of my pocket.

"Welch"

"I need a background check asap. Anastasia Steele."

"On it sir."

I hang up and drive home to wait for the results.

Anastasia Rose Steele

21 years old

Works at Cross Publishing

Relationship with Gideon fucking Cross.

No other relationships listed.

Hmm. Someone from Cross Publishing is coming this week to purchase SIP from me. Maybe I will see her then.

My phone beeps showing that there is a news alert.

Sorry ladies, but it appears Manhattan's playboy Gideon Cross is no longer on the market. It seems he has been scooped up by one Anastasia Steele, Fiction editor of Cross Publishing. Mr. Cross himself has confirmed this relationship as a fact.

We may have to start looking for the next most eligible bachelor ladies. Perhaps Christian Grey?

Right. Because I want to be in a relationship with anyone. Except maybe Anastasia Steele. She mesmerizes me.

Gideon's POV

"God yes Gideon!!" she screams as she reaches her fourth orgasm of the morning. I reach my orgasm with her and I collapse on her and prop myself on my elbows.

"I love watching you cum Ana."

"I love cumming only for you baby."

I kiss her nose. "better be only for me. I own all your orgasms and I love that like I love you."

It's Thursday and Ana and I are on the jet en route to Seattle to purchase SIP from Christian Grey. I know Ana doesn't like him so I haven't told her it's him we're meeting with today.

When we arrive we have a town car waiting for us so we're driving straight there and then staying the night and flying back in the morning.

"Are you ready baby? I'm letting you make the deal to get practice acquiring companies and I will be right beside you to support you the whole way."

"Yes, I'm ready. I feel good about this."

"You should know it's Christian Grey we're purchasing from."

Her head snaps to look at me. "You couldn't warn me about this earlier?"

"You have no problem standing up to him so you will do great."

"Good point. Let's do this."

We walk into SIP and we're led to the conference room and Ana has a seat and I sit beside her and put my hand on her thigh for encouragement and she smiles at me. She sits tall so I know she is channeling her CEO mode that she does not know she possesses.

The door opens and we both look up. We stand and Ana extends her hand, "Mr. Grey."

He shakes it, "Miss Steele."

I extend my hand to shake his as well "Mr. Cross."

We nod at each other and have a seat. He is already trying to eye fuck my woman. She pulls out her files and lays them on the table and slides it over to him. "This is what we are prepared to offer at this time Mr. Grey."

He opens the folder and doesn't look impressed, "This is barely over what I paid Miss Steele. Perhaps I should deal with Mr. Cross. I'm sure he can come up with something better."

"That won't be necessary Mr. Grey." She pulls out another 2 folders. "this one is SIPs profit margins before and after your purchase. YOU lost money because this company earned you nothing and has been a hardship for you. You need someone to take it off your hands so here we are." She slides the other folder, "This is Cross Publishing's profit margins. Before and after I joined the team. I brought the profits up by 15% myself because I'm good at what I do. I can make this company thrive. You clearly failed on that front. I can see Publishing is not an area you primarily deal with so you can accept our offer and get your money back with a little extra or continue to flush your money down the drain. Your choice. No one else will offer you nearly as much as we are with the lack of profits you're experiencing."

Fuck that was hot!!

"I will consider your offer and we can discuss it in the morning over coffee."

"There will be no coffee Mr. Grey. When we walk out of this door our deal walks with us. Take it or leave it Mr. Grey."

After looking through the paperwork again "Okay. I accept your offer. Let's sign the papers and I can file the paperwork and SIP is officially yours." He signs the paperwork and I sign as well.

We stand and shake his hand. This woman is a natural CEO. I should gift her Cross Publishing and let her run it. She seems to do better than me with it.

After he leaves the room I kiss her. "that was amazing baby. You should be CEO of Cross Publishing. I will offer you the job right here and now."

She looks at me skeptical at first and then smiles. "I can't lie. I loved that powerful feeling. I accept. I'd love to be the CEO of Cross Publishing as long as I can still edit."

"You can do whatever you want Goddess." I kiss her again. I'm kissing the CEO of Cross Publishing.

"We better go. These obviously incompetent employees don't need to see us making out in their conference room."

"Good thinking. Let's go make out at the Fairmont."

She nods. We exit SIP hand in hand and get into our town car and head to the Fairmont and check in.

Once in our room, we head straight to bed where I fuck the hottest CEO I've ever met.

Once we're laying together sated for the second time this afternoon I decide we better go eat.

"Let's go out to eat to celebrate your promotion Goddess."

"Let's do. Where?"

"Mile High Club. I'll make reservations."

I make reservations and we get dressed for our Seattle date.

Christian's POV

I just sold SIP to a feisty little girl who obviously knows way too much about me yet she is somehow embedded into my brain. No matter how hard I beat Susannah, I couldn't get those Ocean blue eyes out of my mind.

Today I witnessed her no nonsense attitude. She commanded the room and won fair and square. She deserves to be CEO. It threw me but she was the better person in that room and won Fair and square.

I need that woman in my life.

Tonight I'm headed to the Mile High Club to have drinks and discuss business with Elena.

When I walk into my private booth I see them in the corner booth. My God, she is so beautiful.

Ana's POV

As we're going over the menu I feel eyes on me and look up and see Christian Grey again. Is he following us? This is getting creepy. "Gideon, he's here. Is he following us?"

"Don't worry Goddess. I think he owns this club."

"Well it's still odd how he ends up everywhere we go."

"I agree but we will be gone tomorrow. Have you thought anymore about moving in with me love?"

"Actually I have and I'd love to move in with you Gideon." He smiles brightly and kisses me deeply.

He raises his champagne glass so I raise mine. "To the new CEO of Cross Publishing and to my new roommate Anastasia. I'm so proud of you." We clink glasses and drink and kiss on it.

2 Weeks later

I have been dating Gideon Cross for 4 weeks and have been living with him for 2 weeks. I feel like I've been living with him since I met him. This seems to be a whirlwind romance because it has progressed so quickly but the love and passion has not wavered one bit. We share a passion unlike any I have ever seen.

Next week I'm bringing him to Montesano Washington to meet my father. I felt guilty for not visiting while we were there visiting twice in the last month.

I need to check out how Cross Publishing is coming along so we will do that while we are in the area.

"Honey, I need to go shopping for some clothes for my CEO debut in Seattle."

"Baby, I will gladly buy you anything you want."

" I know you will but I need to do this. I'd just like you to come help me choose."

"Stubborn woman. Okay. I will go with you."

"Thank you baby" I kiss his cheek. "I can't wait for you to meet my Daddy. He's gonna love you almost as much as I do."

"Can you remind me how much you love me again. I seem to keep forgetting." He smirks. This is a proposition I can never turn down. I could have sex with this man 24/7 if I could get away with it.

I Crash my lips onto his and push him down onto the bed and show him just how much I love him with my body.

"Did that convey how much I love you Mr. Cross?"

"Yes, it definitely did." He kisses me deeply and pours all his love into the kiss and I feel every bit of it.

"You're perfect for me Gideon."

"And you for me Goddess. Let's go get that shopping done."

A week later

"Don't be nervous. He will love you Gideon."

"You told me the man carries a gun and will do anything to protect you and you expect me not to be nervous."

I laugh. "He won't hurt you if you don't hurt me. The gun is just warning so you're prepared in the event that you do hurt me."

"If you say so Goddess. I just don't want to die today."

"Don't hurt me and you have nothing to worry about." I kiss him deeply. "Ready to go in?"

"Let's go baby. I'm trusting you." I smile and we get out of the car and I take his hand and walk him up to the porch. I knock on the door.

"DADDY!!!" I hug him and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Annie! I'm so glad you made it. I haven't seen you in a while and I miss you."

"I missed you too Daddy. This is Gideon, my boyfriend I told you about."

He eyes Gideon suspiciously in his overpriced suit. I told him to wear average people clothes but he said this is who he is. I just rolled my eyes at him earning a swat on the butt and some rough sex.

"Nice to meet you sir. Ana told me a lot about you. You did an amazing job raising this one." Gideon says nervously. He can sit through boardroom meetings with some of the most intimidating men in the world but my Daddy makes him nervous. It's so cute.

"Son, if you're gonna take care of my daughter, you may as well call me Ray." He says extending his hand.

"I'll always take care of your daughter Ray. As much as she will allow me to. She is a strong-willed one."

Dad laughs. "That she is. Come on in kids. Annie may have to cook something up or we won't be eating anything other than TV dinners."

"Oh Daddy. I'll cook."

The rest of the evening goes smoothly as Gideon relaxes and they engage in conversations about sports and the great outdoors, namely fishing.
