Chapter 1

Anna pov.

I groan and pull the covers over my head when I hear my alarm going off, it's 6am and I have to start getting ready for work. I reach over to my night stand and switch the alarm off making the room go quiet, I sigh and stare up at the ceiling trying to find the will to get out of bed. I shouldn't have stayed up so late but I couldn't help it, I learned last night how hard it is to resist a guy when they're kissing your neck. I should explain I'm not in an official relationship but I have a beneficial friendship with my best friend Luke Sawyer, we act like any other best friends do with each other except at the end of the night we sometimes have sex. Let me take you back to the beginning of the year to show you how it all started.

Flashback to new ears eve.

I look in my mirror to make sure my makeup looks okay then I go I lock my apartment up and head downstairs where Luke is waiting for me, we're meeting our other friends Kate and Jose at a pub to celebrate new years eve together. I walk up to him smiling and give him a hug in greeting, when we pull away he looks at what I'm wearing.

"Damn Anna you're going to get someone's attention tonight in that dress" He says.

"I hope so I'm ready to move on after my last breakup and I'm getting lonely" I say.

"Yeah I feel you Steel I feel you" He says.

He opens the car door for me and I get inside the passenger seat, he shuts the door and goes round to the drivers side. I adjust the skirt of my plumb dress because it's hitched up a bit when I got in, I'm wearing killer black heels with my hair loose and wavy. Luke starts the car and pulling out of the parking space joins the traffic, I scan the busy streets of Seattle to pass the time as we drive. We arrive at the bar a few minutes later and head inside after parking, we find Kate and Jose at a table and sit down with them to order some drinks. Kate and I both decide on some strawberry cocktails while the boys go for beer, they tell us to stay at the table while they go to the bar to order.

"So Anna how are you feeling now after the breakup" Kate asks.

"I feel a lot better a little lonely still but I think that's because I'm ready to start dating again but haven't really seen anyone of interest" I explain.

"It'll happen sweetie just give it time" She says.

I agree with her thankful that she hasn't seen through my little white lie, the truth is I'm lonely and would like to date again but I'm also scared of being hurt and left again so I'm dragging my heels a bit. The boys come back to the table with our drinks and sit down beside us, I take a grateful sip ready to let the alcohol make me forgot at least until tomorrow. We talk and banter as we order round after round of drinks, it's not long before I start to feel buzzed and my worries slip away from my mind. To keep ourselves a little more entertained until 12pm comes we decide to have a couple games of pool, our first match is girls against boys and we win because when the black is the last ball Jose misses giving me the opportunity to sink it. For the next game it's me and Jose against Kate and Luke then after that me and Luke against Kate and Jose, after that third game it's getting close to the 12pm countdown so we return to our table with a new round of drinks.

Kate and I are still drinking the strawberries cocktails because we both know better than to mix our drinks, we tried it once on a college night out and we both spent the next day in pyjamas huddled on her couch together making Netflix our new best friend. We talk about old times in school and college and the fun but reckless mistakes we used to make, after a few more minutes it's 11,59pm so we all start counting down from 10 until the clock strikes 12 and then we all yell happy new year. We hug each other tightly and wish each other well for the year to come, it feels good to celebrate with friends but our heads are feeling very fuzzy so after one more round we all head home.

Sawyer and Kate make sure their cars are locked up and we all order a cab to share since they're both to drunk to drive us home, the fresh air has only made us worse and we're sitting on a small brick wall outside the pub in stitches of laughter. We start trying to think of stupid dares to give each other while we wait but thankfully the cab saves us from ourselves and shows up before we can do any of them, the four of us climb in and he starts driving towards Kate's apartment first and when we arrive we wave goodbye as she climbs out then disappears inside. Next to be dropped off is Jose and we laugh at him as he stumbles his way inside almost falling over several times, now as the cab starts driving again it's just me and Luke.

"Do you want to come in and crash on the couch I don't really feel like being alone since it's been such a fun night" I say.

"Yeah sure" He says.

We smile at each and then fall silent as a weird tension builds between us, that's never happened before we're usually fine with each other. After a few moments of quietness I'm just about to ask if he's okay when he places his hand on my thigh, I'm shocked as a thrill goes through me and I realise I like his touch on my skin. So when he slides his hand further up taking my skirt with him and obviously heading straight for my panties instead of refusing I sit back and open my legs, he reaches his goal and cups me through my panties which are already wet for him. I bite my lip as he circles his thumb over my clit, then he slides his hand inside my panties and his finger enters me.

He pumps his fingers in and out of me while I struggle to contain my moans and put my own hand on his crotch, I can feel his hardness through his pants so I start to rub making him bite his lip too. I unzip his pants and take his member out stroking it roughly so he's struggling not to moan, the cab slows to a stop and I realise it's because we're at my place. We quickly fix ourselves and Luke pays the fee as we climb out, completely overcome by desire I quickly unlock the door and lead him straight the bedroom. I push him down onto the bed and we makeout as we make short work of each others clothes.

I kiss my way down his chest and take his member into my mouth starting to roughly suck on it, he moans loudly and grips my hair as I suck on him until he cums. Then I straddle him and ease myself onto his member moaning loudly to, I ride him picking up the pace until we're both panting and moaning with pure pleasure. I run my nails up and down his chest as he grips my hips, I ride him faster and faster until eventually I throw my head back and cum feeling him cum too. I collapse onto his chest and we fall asleep like that.

Back to present.

At first things were naturally awkward and we avoided each other, we couldn't explain why we didn't have feelings for each other but still wanted to fuck every time we saw each other after that night. Eventually we decided to be adults about it and sat down and talked, that's how we discovered that our sexual attraction to each other was coming from loneliness and we agreed to be friends with benefits until we found proper relationships. It worked out better than we thought because we feel like it's brought us closer together, Kate and Jose don't know about it we agreed they wouldn't in case they didn't understand.

I'm still staring at my bedroom ceiling so with one more sigh I force myself out of bed and into the shower, I work at grey publishing as an editor which is my dream job. I started off as an assistant and worked my way up, even though the company is owned by Christian Grey I've never actually met him before. He never comes into the office just conference calls with my bosses to check in, I dress in a white button up shirt, black tights, black skirt and black heels. After applying some makeup and having a piece of fruit for breakfast I'm out the door.

My boss is out of town for the weekend so he's video calling me today to check how the latest authors are getting on, we arranged to call while I'm on my lunch break so it doesn't disturb my meetings or schedule. When I sit down in my office and boot up my laptop I discover a ton of emails that I have to go through, I sigh heavily and get started on them reading carefully and replying to as many as I can. Time passes quickly and soon it's lunch time so I open the small box of sandwiches I brought with me, my boss calls and I talk him through the things that have happened and have been arranged since he's been gone.

Movement at the door catches my eye and I look up to see Luke enter, I forgot to tell him about the call so he must have wanted to have lunch with me. I give him an apologetic look and hold up my finger asking for a minute, he nods and stays quiet so I turn my attention back to my boss not noticing him closing the blinds to my office so no one can see in. I raise a brow at him when he gets on the floor and crawls under my desk, I have to stop my eyes from widening as I feel him slide my tights and panties down. Please tell me he's not about to do what I think he is. He proves me wrong by pressing his tongue into my wet folds making me fight to suppress my moans, I know I should slyly push him off but I just can't resist. I spread my legs slowly so my boss doesn't notice giving him full access of my clit and entrance, he runs his tongue from my entrance to my clit and back again over and over. I grip his hair under the table to keep him there and try to talk as normal as I can to my boss, thankfully he decides to end the call due to other things needing done.

I say goodbye and as soon as he's gone I sit back spread my legs as wide as they'll go and surrender to the pleasure of Luke's tongue which he has now pushed inside me, I moan lowly and unbutton my shirt and bra. I rub my breasts adding to the pleasure at my nipples harden, I moan his name and cum on his tongue panting heavily. While I catch my breath he stands up takes his member out and slams into me, I bite my lip to stop from screaming in pleasure as he starts to pound into me. We pant and moan quietly as we fuck in my desk chair with everyone working outside oblivious, he slams into me roughly makes us both cum hard. I throw my head back as the pleasure waves over me, in this moment I can't help but think maybe I won't get another man who's better than Luke but I was about to be proved wrong sooner than I thought.
