Less than an hour later and we are sitting in the theatre waiting for Christian's show to start. The tickets are front row seats and it's so good to know that this time I will be less than ten feet from him as he performs. Kate is doing her utmost to be on her best behavior, with my father with us, as she sits next to Elliot.
I don't believe her for a moment, as the two times I turn to speak with her, she has been stroking his general groin area or sticking her tongue in his ear. I'm just grateful my father is sitting on the other side of me and I pray to god he hasn't seen her doing that. James sits on the other side of my dad.
He is still in an excited, giddy child state as to how close we are to the stage. He has told me a hundred times already how I'm the best friend ever. He's so sweet, I find him so cute in a younger brother sort of way. I told him my worry about not inviting Jose, and he told me that Jose was spending the night in the garage trying to get some extra work in on his latest car anyway.
Just then the house lights darken and the whole room slips into silence. The long red curtain lifts to show Mia swinging back and forth on a swing set. Her silver dress clinging to her and catching the light from every angle. As her swing is lowered towards the stage Christian walks on from the side, his suit a silver, gray with a black shirt and an open collar.
He grabs Mia's leg and ties first one ankle then the other to the swing. She seems like she is struggling, and then he ties her hand and then her other hand so she is helpless. It reminds me of how he tied me up in his apartment and used the flogger on me. I wish I was in Mia's position as I feel my blood begin to race at the thought.
A large tank of water is wheeled onto the stage and everyone watches as Mia is lifted above it and slowly lowered in. As soon as her head drops under the water she begins thrashing round against the ties as I feel myself and everyone else lean forward onto the edge of our seats.
Christian turns to the audience and spins his hands as if holding an invisible ball. He turns and launches it at the glass and it shatters. The water pours out and into a slip making sure it doesn't pour over the stage.
Mia is no longer inside of the glass case, however, and suddenly my dad has two arms around his neck from behind. I turn to see Mia hugging him from behind. My dad turns and she runs her hand through my dad's hair messing it up as he looks up at her. The audience gives a wild round of applause as Mia makes her way back to the stage completely dry.
"Dad, that was Christian and Elliot's sister, Mia," I tell him as he is grinning.
"I like her." He says.
"Everyone does, Dad." I lean into his shoulder and enjoy the show.
The next two hours Christian amazes and astounds the whole audience. Escaping from traps and making things disappear and reappear at will. He asks for a volunteer at one point and Mia ends up pulling James up onto the stage. I'm sure Christian had told Mia to pick him. James was asked to check the fastening on each of the hand and leg cuffs to ensure they were real and solid for the next trick and even stood with them.
James had no idea how the trick was performed. When he sat down again he was grinning so much I was certain his face would stick that way. My eyes became riveted to Christian, I barely even remember any of his tricks as I watched every twist and turn of his body. I found myself growing moist just watching him move around the stage like he owned it.
I couldn't look away, his stance had changed the moment he was on stage. Like in his dungeon, he moved and acted differently. It was like I had witnessed three different people. The natural Christian, the showman, Magic Man and the Dominant Mr. Grey.
I was that busy in my own thoughts I didn't hear what he said and before I knew it Mia had come out and took my hand. She had pulled me up on stage before I had had time to react. Now I'm standing there looking at my man in his god-like appearance before me. He takes my hand and I feel a spark of electricity pulse through it right down to the depths of my core. It's like my first night on stage with him again and I can feel the hair on the back of my neck prick up.
"You're not scared of the dark, are you?" He asks me teasingly.
My inner angel snaps at me to talk while popping her head over the top of her book, Magic For Dummies.
"No, I'm not, why?"
It's a simple question yet the audience laugh.
"I'm just checking." He smiles at me.
His grey eyes gaze into mine and I'm lost to him. He takes my hand and leads me over to a large box and escorts me inside. I turn to face the crowd and he reaches up, grabs my left hand and straps it into the cuff before I realize what he is doing.
I look up into his eyes as his hands trail over the skin of my right arm making it tingle all over. His fingers spread out and grip my wrist then I feel the leather of a buckle slipping around my wrist and I gasp as I hear the tightening of it.
My hands are immobilized by him. Holy hell, this is erotic. He is strapping me up on stage in front of over a thousand people. My face is blushing furiously at the thought while lower down I'm soaking wet at the thought. He carefully crouches down and his head is so close to my core.
I feel both of his hands stroke down from just above my knees over my calf and take hold of my ankle as he slips the leather ankle cuff around and locks it. His body blocks the audience from seeing his intimate tracing of his fingers on my skin, as he strokes my other leg and locks the cuff up so I'm completely helpless.
"Now, are those tight enough?" He asks for the audience.
I look at him and his eyes are alight with fire. I want to grab him right here, and now I wish I wasn't cuffed up.
"Yes." I breath in a husky moan.
"See you soon." His words are like a delicious taunt to my body.
He steps back and shuts the door and I'm plunged into darkness. There is no light whatsoever as I stand there slightly trying to bring my breathing back to normal. I can hear him talking to everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I intend to climb into that container in the middle of the aisle there and switch places with the beautiful woman inside the cabinet." I hear his voice moving further away as he speaks.
Well, at least I know what he is up to. I stand in complete darkness cuffed up. I have no idea how long it's been when I begin to think maybe something has gone wrong with the trick. I pull at the cuffs once when I suddenly feel a presence behind me.
I can't move as a warm breath pours onto my exposed neck. It's him. His smell is all around me as I feel his hands reach around my waist. His fingers trailing softly over my dress as one hand moves up, the other goes down my body. His fingers slide up and over the bottom of my breasts.
Applying that much pressure, I know he can feel my bra under the dress. Those fingers push hard against the bra looking to stimulate my nipples. His other hand trails down past my stomach and over my hip to my thighs. He runs his open fingers stroking my thighs in small circular patterns that make my insides tighten.
I want his lips on me, but instead he gives me hot breathing on my neck. His fingers are torturing my skin and it's exquisite. As my nipples harden, his fingers slip away moving higher and glide softly over my neck making me moan out.
The lower hand moves up and pushes against the dress directly over my crotch as two of his fingers try to push inside of me from outside the material of my dress and underwear. The pressure of his fingers makes my legs buckle.
Suddenly I'm down on my hands and knees. My arms and wrists feel free and I'm gasping and I lift myself up to turn to him. My back connects with a hatch and I stand up. I'm standing in the aisle of the theatre my feet still inside of a small container.
The container would require me to crouch down to hide in it. The audience bursts into applause as I stand there red faced, blushing hard and incredibly aroused by what Christian had just done.
I look to the stage to see the large box I was in open and Christian is standing there smiling. The applauding continues as he points at me and smiles. After turning me on so much and leaving me like that, I'll have to return that favor, Mr. Grey.
The rest of the show is wonderful to watch, and at the end the audience gives a standing ovation when Christian and Mia leave the stage after taking their bow. We sit in our seats as James is on a high from being on stage with Christian. Most of the theatre empties out and we decide to head over to the bar for drinks.
My father offers to pay for them and is just pulling out his wallet when Christian hands over money for the drinks. Where the hell did he come from?
At that moment, I'm wrapped up in the arms of Mia as she hugs me tightly.
"Ana, you were amazing!" She tells me with such passion in her eyes as I blush.
"You were outstanding." Comes from my father over my shoulder as he hands Mia a drink.
"Mia, this is my father and this is my friend James." I introduce her as Christian slides up next to me.
"It's a pleasure to meet you both. So, how did you both enjoy the show?"
Mia leads both my father and James effortlessly into a conversation giving me time to chat with Christian.
"Did you like the show?" He asks softly.
"Yes, I had such a wonderful time in the box." I tease.
My inner angel reminds me it's payback time. As he stands behind me and reaches around with my drink I push my rear out a little to make contact with his groin. I hear his faint gasp.
"As did I, Miss Steele." He whispers into my ear.
"I'm glad I could assist you, Mr. Grey." I deepen my breath to make it sound more seductive.
My rear still pushing against his groin, I risk a glance and no one is looking. Elliot and Kate are too into each other and Mia has both James and my dad captivated.
"Well, perhaps you could assist me with something else that's come up." His words are so deliciously tempting.
I can feel exactly what has come up right against my rear. I lean back against him feeling his whole body against my own.
"What would you like me to do?" I breathe, certain I have his undivided attention.
"Come back to Harbor Drive with me and I'll show you." I can hear it in his voice, he is panting.
I slowly turn around using Kate's hair flick she taught me and to look at him under my lashes. I step closer to him, so I tilt my head back and gaze up at him.
"How badly do you want me?" I gasp keeping my voice heavy.
"So badly." He moans.
I can't help it, I lick my lip and watch as his eyes look down at them.
His lips part as he pants. I'm so close to telling him to take me back with him. He is so intoxicating I could drown in him. I have to remain strong. I have to resist him.
"I can't, I have to take my dad back," I say and step back from him.
Mia rushes over to me before Christian can step in and try to change my mind.
"Hey, Ana, why didn't you tell me about James? He's a cutie." I'm in shock, I didn't even think.
"You like him?" I say pleased that the heavy sexy voice that Kate taught me doesn't carry on through my surprise.
"Well, he is cute and very sweet. Your dad wants to take off to apparently, he needs to call someone for something." She offers as I stare at her wide-eyed.
It's unlike Mia to not to pay attention to people. I'm still staring wide eyed at her and she breaks.
"Fine. I was distracted by James." She tells me and I can't help but smile.
Elliot decides to stay and Kate offers to stay with him of course. Mia and Christian walk us out to my car. Mia is saying bye to my father and James.
Christian pulls me to one side.
"Have I done something wrong?" He asks me.
"No, I just have to go," I say trying to keep my cool.
"Can I pick you up early tomorrow?" He asks me while cupping my face. His hand feels so warm to the touch.
"Yes. Why?" I say feeling my resolve beginning to break.
"It's a surprise." He tells me.
Steeling my resolve, I lean in and kiss him on his cheek. I need to stay away from those lips or I'll be lost forever. I walk back to my car as Mia winks at me and I climb in. We drive out of the parking lot as Mia and Christian stand there watching us leave.
(How was the magic show for everyone? I hope you all enjoyed it. Christian teasing Ana and then her turning it around on him. It's not wise to mess with a magician. Also what are everyones thoughts on Mia liking James?
I wonder what this surprise is that Christian has in store for Ana? We will have to wait till Wednesday to find out. Please do let me know your thoughts in the reviews. They always brighten me up as I have received another rejection for an agent today. I'm not going to lie I had high hopes for that agent too. Would you buy my work if you saw it on a store shelf?
Please do follow and favourite my story if you haven't already. Thank you. SJamesW.)
