As promised Christian arrived at eight p.m. on her doorstep. She scowled at him before taking his hand so he could assist her down the steps and where the car was. She raised a brow at the car.

"Boys and their toys, huh?"

He snorted before opening her door.

"What can I say. I love this car. I love vintage jaguar. Besides, I typically want what others overlook," he said with feeling before closing her door. Once he was in and pulled away from the curb she opened her wallet and took out note cards.

"I'm sorry, but is there some test going on that I have no clue about?" She glared at him before returning her attention back to her cards.

"You are a male, so your lack of understanding is expected."

"Ouch."

"Anyway," she said before sighing, "I am a woman. Who was just hired at one of the top companies in the northwest."

"Actually the top. I read it in Forbes," he said cockily. She rolled her eyes.

"I need to know more than just my own initiative, but some common business and market trends. Otherwise, they'll laugh off my ideas."

"Since when?" he asked.

"Since every woman who decided to work in corporate America," she said dryly. He glanced over at her and sighed.

"Plus I came with you so I will definitely have to be on top of everything." Christian winced at that. Looking back over everything, he could see that his insistence that she ride with him would make things difficult.

"Look, I apologize if me asking you to drive along with me was a bad idea, but you are an interesting woman, and I didn't know when I would get time to spend with you again. So there," he said roughly. She rolled her eyes.

"I think that was an apology."

He glanced over and saw a smile on her face.

"Well, it was. Now tell me, what color bra are you wearing?"

"Christian Grey!"

They both arrived when the party was in full swing. The voices were loud and the music even more so, but Ana could feel eyes landing on her and Christian. She subtly moved away from the man and when she felt his gaze on her she high-tailed it to the bar. She ordered a glass of water for her suddenly parched throat, relieved to see Ros coming up to stand with her.

"All these men here are ridiculous. We are the only women at this thing. Well, the only women who decided to dress like women," she added. Ana glanced around and noticed Ros's assessment was correct. There were so many gray and black suits, she could barely spot the women until she paid attention. Ana was wearing an off-the-shoulder form-fitting pink body con dress with heels to match and her hair was piled on her head. Ros was dressed in a white form-fitting dress and she looked amazing. Her berry lips were pulled into a smirk.

"I can see why they'd glare at you though. You look hot," she said as an afterthought. Ana glanced at her in shock before breaking into laughter. Ana nor Ros knew the interested eyes that were drawn to them but Christian did. And he tried not to scowl at the men looking at Ana as if she were a piece of meat.

"Mr. Grey?" A voice said near him snapping his attention back to the group of men. He grunted waiting for the man to continue.

"I work for your father, and he told me you'd be here tonight. I wanted to thank you personally for helping with my father's former company. He rests better knowing it's in better hands." At that, Christian felt a bit guilty. He shouldn't be sulking over Ana. She came with him, and she was only talking to Ros. besides this was business. He held out his hand.

"It was no problem. What was your name again?" The man laughed seeming to take no issue with Christian not knowing his name.

"I understand you have a lot of clients. My name is Joshua Lassiter." Christian suddenly knew the older man.

"Ah. John's son. Well, your father was quite the negotiator, but I'm glad he decided to hand it over to us. If you should ever need a job-"

"No," he said laughing. "Working as a lawyer and at your father's firm is work enough thank you. I'm also here because I am thinking of opening my own practice, and would love the support of Grey Enterprises behind the name."

"It's done," Christian said without hesitation. "Get my office number from my father and we can go over the details," he said. The man thanked him profusely before excusing himself. Christian was winding his way through the rest of the assembled men (and poorly dressed women) when he was stopped by a man he'd never seen before.

"Excuse me, Mr. Grey but I wanted to introduce myself. I am Jose Rodriguez."

Ah. This is Jose, Christian thought smugly. He had to admit, the guy wasn't bad-looking. Spanish features, long slicked-back black hair. His eyes were a bit calculating. He never knew Ana could even entertain someone like him. She was better in all aspects, and he's only known her for the last couple of days. He knew it was wrong to pre-maturely judge, but who could blame him? Letting go of a woman like her. He tuned into the rest of what the man was saying.

"... I'm one of the new lawyers hired by your company. I wanted to thank you-"

"You were with Anastasia Steele, correct?" Christian asked bluntly. The man's eyes widened before he quickly recovered.

"Ah, yes. She was my fiance. But we wanted different things so it didn't work out," he finished lamely. Christian held back his snort.

"Hmm. Well, Apparently you were supposed to meet her for dinner the other night?"

"How did you-"

"I wanted to thank you personally for not showing up. And for breaking off the engagement." Leaning closer he spoke quietly.

"She's quite a sexy thing. Especially in bed. Why, I can't believe the number of times that I- oops. I probably said too much," he finished before winking at him. Christian delighted in the fact that the man looked as if he were about to burst a blood vessel.

"Welcome to the team. I'm sure you'll see Ana around, as we've hired her for a new green initiative. That shouldn't be a problem, right? As you've moved on and everything." Christian watched as Jose narrowed his eyes before clearing his throat.

"Yes of course," he said coolly."

"Very good," Christian said before clasping his shoulder. "Enjoy tonight, and I'll see you tomorrow morning," Christian finished before walking around him and heading to Ana. He knew tomorrow would be a blood bath with Anastasia, but it would be worth it.

Christian approached the group Ana was currently speaking with and stood beside her. The conversation quieted immediately.

"Good evening everyone. I was wondering if I might borrow Ms. Steele for a moment?" Everyone nodded as he gestured for Ana to follow him out of the rented room and down the hall. Christian glanced around before grabbing her hand and pulling her into the women's restroom. He locked the door before turning and stepping into her space.

"Christian what are you-"

"You've been driving me crazy all night. In that dress. And in those heels. I've been wanting your legs wrapped around my waist, and my mouth on your pussy since I picked you up," he said huskily. Ana immediately flushed, before taking another step back. Christian grabbed her waist, and picked her up, placing her on the marble counter. She moaned when he kissed her exposed neck.

"Christian, we can't there are people down the hall-"

"So? I locked the door," he said before running his hands up her thighs. He slid the dress up until it was around her hips and kissed her passionately. Ana whimpered and after several seconds of trying to pull away, she sagged before wrapping her arms around his shoulders, whimpering at his tongue caressing her own. When he pulled away and kissed down to her flushed chest she gasped at the many sensations coursing through her. His fingers explored her satin-covered core and the other hand pulled down her dress. He groaned at the way her breasts were on display for him.

"No bra? You're killing me here, Ana," he said as if in pain. She was breathless as he began to kiss her breasts and nipples.

"I didn't wear it because of you. It didn't go with the dress. Christian, Ah!" she said as his fingers circled her clit. He bit licked and sucked at her flesh until she was a quivering mess. She pulled at his hair, and he pulled away before kissing further down her body over her covered stomach before kneeling on the floor. Quickly, he ripped off her panties, inhaling them and placing them in his pocket before licking at her core. She cried out before biting her lip, remembering where she was. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head as the man's talented tongue swiped over her swollen lips before sliding lower and circling her core. Once his tongue entered her heat she was a goner. Ana had collapsed against the fancy bathroom window, legs spread and over his shoulders while gripping his head, and called out his name.

"Christian! Christian, oh God!" she said as she felt herself getting closer. Christian slid his tongue out of her and inserted two fingers before sucking and pulling on her clit. Ana gasped and was stunned at how fast she came under his expert hands. His fingers didn't stop stroking her, and neither did his mouth quit, which made her realize he was going to keep going until she came again.

"Christian, I can't it's too much!" She said. But the man was relentless. Her legs clenched around his head and Ana gasped when he reached up and pulled at her nipples. Her grip increased on his hair and she bit her lip so she wouldn't scream when she finally found herself coming again. She was shaking and whimpering when he finally pulled away, his mouth glistening with her juices. She glanced down and saw his pants open and that he already had his own release. He hovered his lips over her own staring into her eyes before lowering his mouth to kiss her. She returned his wet kiss before sighing and wrapping her legs around his waist. When he pulled his mouth away he kissed her neck and any skin he could reach.

"You drive me crazy, Anastasia," he said into her skin. She moaned when he licked at her skin and lightly bit it.

"We can't keep doing this," she said still breathless from their encounter. He smirked into her neck, causing a smile to come out of her as well.

"Why can't we? We do it pretty well."

"I work for you."

"I could let you see through our initiative and fire you if that helps," he added lightly. She pulled away from him before rolling her eyes.

"Christian, I just got out of a relationship, and I have to get settled. I still haven't unboxed everything from my move. Something I was planning to do tonight, which will have to be this weekend."

"Don't bother."

"Why not?"

"Because I need to take you somewhere. My parents want to know who I'm dating and-"

Ana gaped at him before pushing him away. He zipped himself up while she stood and covered herself.

"We just met!"

"I know. But I think-"

She rolled her eyes again before facing the mirror. Thankfully her hair wasn't messed up but her lipstick was trash so she decided to take it off. She used concealer to cover the bite on her neck, and when she faced him she blushed when she saw him watching her.

"What?"

"You look absolutely beautiful, by the way."

"Thank you. And you should wash your hands," she added.

"Why? I want to smell you on me for the rest of the night." If possible Ana's cheeks heated even more before she looked away.

"Look, Christian-"

"Let's go."

"What?"

"Let's go get some dessert? Or Chinese food. I'm starving."

"But the meeting out there-"

"Went fine. They know I'm here, I'm the boss, and we have new employees. Now, let's go. You coming or not?" He asked before opening the bathroom door. She glared at him.

"Christian-"

"What?" he asked innocently. She didn't know anyone who could say no to this man. She tried, but he never listened. She never knew that could be a good thing.

"Fine. But afterward, I want to go home Christian."

"Yes ma'am."

"To sleep!"

"She added."

"To sleep alone," she specified. At that, he snorted. As she walked by.

"Yeah, we'll see about that."

LOL, y'all look at them? Christian is a good guy in this one. I figured I'd give you all a story with no soap opera so you wouldn't kill me. Leave a review and have a good rest of your weekend!
