Prologue

What am I even doing? I'm sitting here with a clipboard with an NDA clipped to it for me to look over and sign. When Flynn, my therapist suggested this " exercise " I never imagined I'd have to sign one of these.

Who the hell is in this " exercise " that is so important? I'm honestly contemplating just canceling my appointment. It's not that I don't want to get further help because let's face it, I need all the help I can get. At thirty-five I've been through and seen things. Things that haunt me sometimes.

Just when I'm about to get up and leave the most beautiful man I've ever seen walks in carrying a very expensive Armani briefcase. I sit glued to the edge of my seat the second he speaks.

" Hello Carla, I trust that Flynn is all set up for this little exercise he has planned? " He speaks so assuredly it almost comes off as arrogant.

Shit, I just figured he was a business associate, not a patient. I also notice that he isn't handed an NDA. He must be the person Flynn is protecting. It takes me all of five seconds to sign the damn agreement.

When I stand up the sexy stranger turns his head to look at me and I get lost in his intense blue eyes. He stares coldly at me for a moment before heading back into the office. I go over to Carla and give her the forms. She smiles at me and motions her hand to where the sexy stranger headed.

I enter and immediately see that we are the only ones in the office. Flynn is nowhere to be seen. There's a long couch against the back wall and the mysterious man is seated at the far end. I take my seat on the far end of the other side. He moves ever so slightly as my butt touches the leather. His head snaps over to look me directly in the eyes.

God his eyes are like the ocean. I cross her long legs and trying her best to look like I'm not intimidated. He definitely is not my type anyway. Usually, I go for bad guys that don't have the purest of intentions.

After a few minutes, he clears his throat. " You know it's rather rude for you to not introduce yourself. "

The air around us changes in seconds and I can suddenly see there is more to this man than a striking face.

" I could say the same thing- whoever you are. " I say in my Staten Island accent.

If it's games he's into so be it. I haven't lost one yet.

He narrows his eyes and I see his palm twitch a little on the table. " Well when you decide to stop being rude I'll gladly introduce myself. " He says obviously thinking I will relent.

No such luck. I'm notorious for my stubborn streak so I fold my arms and sit back, once again looking away from him. After a few more minutes he sighs and taps his fingers on the table next to him.

Finally, after ten minutes of silence, Flynn shows his ugly mug. He walks in smiling at both of his us weirdly. I don't know about the man next to me, but I'm starting to wonder what exactly this " experiment " is going to be. He seats himself in front of us and clears his throat.

" I'm so sorry for the delay, I had another patient that was in dire need of my attention." He says opening his files.

I'm confused, and judging by the look on the other man's face so is he.

" So what is this Flynn? Why are we here? " I ask lacing her fingers together.

Flynn sighed and took his glasses off and pinched the bridge of his nose. The man across from me doesn't even acknowledge Flynn, he just stares me down. I can feel his eyes on me.

" I apologize for the inconvenience, but this form of therapy can do the both of you some good. What do you think Christian? " He asks looking to his right.

I grin at him smugly. I won his game. It takes my mind off these strange turn of events. He looks from Flynn to her with a very annoyed look on his face. Flynn's confused as to what's going on so he waits silently for an answer.

" I look forward to working with you. I'm Christian Grey and you are? " He asks holding out his hand for me to shake.

I figure I've already won so I decide to give him my name. " Likewise Mr. Grey my name is Aurora Gotti, you can call me Rori. "
