Chpt. 17 APOV:
Christian has spent most of the day in his office, trying to finalize a report for the Taiwan project he is working on again. When we came back to Escala last night Christian explained that the deal he was working on in Taiwan when we first met was finalized while he was there and that this is a similar project as they are hoping to expand the shipping yard they originally took over. Christian is not happy about the idea of having to return to Taiwan but it seems they will not deal with Ros as their preference is for all business matters to be handled by males.
"We should be leaving soon to my parent's" Christian walks into the bedroom as I'm walking out of the bathroom.
"I'll be ready in a few minutes" I say.
Christian disappears from the room as I begin to get dressed; I've chosen a simple sundress to wear tonight which is both casual and dressy. I'm nervous about having dinner at with his parents; no matter how many times Christian has told me not to worry I can't help but wonder if they will like me. I'm not sure why but it's important that they like and approve of me. I'm finishing my hair and a light coat of make up as Christian returns to the room.
"Come next to the bed" Christian says in his dom voice.
"Yes sir" I immediately comply, my eyes cast to the floor.
"Bend over, chest on the bed" he commands.
Again, I immediately comply with this request and I feel him lift my dress from behind me. He gently pushes my legs apart, before pushing my thong to my ankles as his hand quickly finds my sex. He rubs my clit which causes my juices to quickly start flowing. I can feel the orgasm slowly building as he continues to tease me.
"Christian?" I gasp at the sudden feeling of something cool and hard against my sex.
"Shhhhhh….relax" He says.
His hand pinches my clit, bringing my attention back to his actions. I feel him push the hard, cool object into me and quickly feel very full. It's quite a bit larger than the ben wa balls he has previously used but I can't determine what it is. He continues to rub and pinch my clit, my juices continue to coat the item that he pushes further inside of me. Quickly his hands leave my sex, he pulls my thong back up and lifts me off the bed bringing me against his body. He kisses me deeply and suddenly I feel the object vibrating inside of me.
"Christian!" I exclaim in surprise.
"I want you to keep this in tonight" he instructs. "I have a remote in my pocket that will control the vibrations. You are not to come without my permission."
"I….Christian…."I stutter.
"Is there a problem?" he asks in his dom voice.
"I'm concerned I may not be able to tolerate it all night" I say.
"If the vibrations become too much, use your safe word of yellow. If you say that I will immediately stop the vibrations which should allow you to cool down" he explains. "If you can't tell me because people are nearby, text me."
"Yes sir" I sigh.
"Do it for me and I will reward you tonight when we get home" Christian smiles.
"Yes sir" I blush.
Christian walks into his closet to start getting ready as I sit on the bed to put my shoes on and immediately feel the rather large object move inside of me. I can tell it is going to be a long night with this inside of me the entire time we are at his parent's house. Christian takes my hand, leading me down the steps where we great Taylor who is waiting by the elevator for us. I feel my face blush deeply as I feel the item lightly vibrating deep inside of me. I glare at Christian who smiles before stopping the vibrations.
"Christian?" I ask as Taylor pulls out of the garage.
"Hmmm?" he answers.
"Can I ask you something?" I say quietly.
"Of course" Christian turns so he is looking at me.
"When we were at your office, you introduced me to Ros as your girlfriend….I know we haven't talked about it but is that what we are…well I am?" I ask looking away.
"I don't know" he sighs. "I don't think there is a proper title for our relationship. I feel that we are more than boyfriend/girlfriend and more than just a dom/sub but I don't know what I would call it. Does it bother you that I introduced you as my girlfriend?"
"No!" I exclaim quickly. "I honestly don't know how else to define what we are but it felt nice to have you introduce me as your girlfriend."
"Yes it did" Christian smiles.
After a relatively short ride, we arrive at Christian's parent's home which has to be one of the largest homes I have ever seen. I am in awe as Taylor parks the car and we walk towards the front door; the landscaping and lighting accentuates the house even more. Christian's parents greet us in the foyer where Christian again introduces me as his girlfriend. We all sit in the great room, making small talk as we wait for dinner to be served. I meet Christian's cheerful, full of energy younger sister who practically talks my ear off while we're waiting. A few moments later Elliot and Kate join us, Kate quickly running towards me hugging me tightly. As Elliot greats me I feel the vibrations inside of me start, I quickly take a deep breath forcing myself to relax so no one can tell what is going on. I try to distract myself by catching up with Kate while Christian chats with Elliot.
"So you and Christian…" Kate asks.
"Yes" I blush. "I'm staying with him temporarily."
"What?! You're living with him?" She asks quite loudly.
"Shhhhh! Kate!" I hush her. "Someone broke into my apartment so Christian is letting me stay with him until the police can catch the person."
"Who was it?" she asks.
"A former employee that I fired a couple weeks ago" I explain. "He apparently is retaliating over his employment being terminated."
"Wow, that sucks Ana…I'm sorry" she says hugging me again.
"Thank you" I sigh just as Christian finally turns the vibrations off.
"Dinner is served" Grace leads us into the dining room.
We sit down at a very large, beautifully decorated table. Christian sits next to me, Elliot and Kate are directly across from us and Grace and Carrick are each at the end of a table. Conversation comes easily as food is being passed around the table; Elliot talks about his construction business and Christian discusses the Taiwan project he is working on.
"Ana how did you and Christian meet?" Grace asks.
"We were both in Taiwan actually" I smile. "We met at a bar in the hotel we were both staying in."
"And you were living in Seattle at the time?" she asks.
"No" I pause feeling the vibrations start up again. "I was living in New York at the time; I moved back to Seattle shortly before the ball you held."
"So you guys didn't see each other after you met in Taiwan until the ball?" Mia asks.
"No" I smile and quickly feel the vibrations increase in intensity.
"That's so sweet!" Mia gushes.
Christian begins a discussion with his dad about an upcoming political election and I find myself struggling to breathe through the intensity of the vibrations. I can feel myself getting very turned on by it and struggle because this is clearly not the place I want to be this worked up at. I squeeze Christian's thigh, trying to get his attention but he just squeezes my hand back never breaking his conversation with his dad.
Yellow sir –A
I type the text to Christian under the table knowing I can't take much more, before trying to return to the conversation between Mia and Kate. Suddenly I feel the vibrations stop, glancing at Christian I can see the guilt in his eyes. I give him a small smile letting him know I'm okay before taking a deep breath as my body finally comes down from the edge. Dinner concludes and moments later a homemade apple pie is served for desert.
"Thank you for inviting us for dinner" I shake hands with Grace and Carrick as we leave.
"Thank you for coming dear" Grace says.
"We hope to see you again" Carrick smiles.
"Good night," Christian says kissing both his parents on the cheek before walking me to the car where Taylor is waiting for us.
I've barely sat down when the vibrations start up again, this time with more intensity than before. I glare at Christian, but he continues to type away on his phone oblivious to my stare. A few moments later I grip his knee tightly as the vibrations don't stop and I find the orgasm building quickly. I need to remind myself that Taylor is in the car with us or I would say something to Christian. Just as the car is parked, the vibrations stop and I sigh in relief although my body doesn't come down as easily from the edge. The elevator arrives and three of us step in, Taylor entering the code to the penthouse as Christian pulls me close to him. My back is to Christian's front and I feel him grab my ass under my dress, exciting me further. Taylor is oblivious to what Christian is doing, his hands well hidden by my dress. His finger pulls my thong aside, exposing my sex just as the bell announces we have reached the penthouse. Taylor quickly leaves enters the penthouse; Christian pulls the back of my dress back down before ushering me off the elevator.
"Upstairs….I want you waiting for me" Christian instructs just as the vibrations start again.
I quickly make my way to the playroom, unlocking the door before undressing and kneeling in position waiting for Christian. The vibrations intensify moments before Christian walks through the door and I feel my sex gushing with excitement at the thought of the orgasm finally getting closer. Christian doesn't say a word but guides me to the bed, laying me on my back. He restrains my arms above my head before attach leather cuffs to my ankles. Just as I begin to wonder what he has planned, his pulls a blindfold from his pocket and covers my eyes. He pulls my leg above my head, attaching the cuff to some sort of rope or chain that must be attached to the bed just above my hand. He repeats the process with my other leg; my legs are spread wide apart both anchored securely above my head. My sex, ass and lower back are all off the bed in this position and although I should be embarrassed I find myself turned on even more not knowing what Christian has planned in this new position.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh" I moan as the vibrations intensify again.
Christian says nothing, but I feel him leave the bed and walk around the room. I am breathing so heavily as the orgasm builds and I'm on edge yet again tonight. I feel Christian return to the bed settling between my legs but moments pass without him touching me. I can feel him moving around the bed but I'm so turned on that all I want his for him to touch, to make me come.
"Christian….please" I beg as his hands run up and down my restrained legs.
"You look lovely like this" Christian sighs. "Like you are on display for me."
I blush deeply realizing what Christian is saying is probably true; my entire lower body is on display for him in this position. My mind is quickly brought back to the present when Christian gently blows on my clit, making me shudder in excitement. His finger rubs my clit gently, applying just enough pressure to push me closer to the edge.
"Christian….I'm so close…"I moan.
"Do you want to come?" he asks.
"Yes, sir! Please" I beg.
"Soon, very soon" he replies.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh" I feel something cool and wet against my anus.
"Oh God!" I scream as he pushes the object inside of me.
This is different than the last plug he used; it's harder and wider than before. His fingers continue to tease my clit as my body battles all the different sensations. The thing inside of me continues to vibrate, preventing me from ever coming down from the edge. My ass is being stretched around this thing; it's a combination of pleasure and pain that keeps me right there.
"Christian!" I scream as he pinches my clit.
"Tell me" he commands.
"I need to come….please let me come sir" I beg.
"Do you want to come like this?" he says pushing the item further into my ass.
"Ohhhhhhhhh…God….Christian!" I scream as I feel fuller than ever before.
"Does it turn you on?" he asks moving the item in and out of my ass.
"I…..it shouldn't….." I moan in ecstasy.
"But it does" he sounds pleased.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh" I say as he pushes the item further into me.
"Tell me" he instructs moving it slowly in and out of me.
"Yes!" I scream. "It feels good! I'm so close…please Christian!"
"Come when you can" he instructs as he starts moving the thing in and out of my ass faster.
"Oh God!" I scream as the sensations nearly become too much as Christian increases the pace.
"Christian….Ohhhhhhh" I moan as he suddenly slows down and gently moves it in and out of me.
"Tell me what you need to come" he requests.
"Christian…" I moan.
"Tell me" he repeats.
"Faster….Christian please….faster" I beg as his fingers continue to tease my clit.
"Like this?" he pushes the item in and out of me quickly.
"Yes! Oh God! Don't stop!" I scream.
"Come Ana!" He commands thrusting the item in me deeper.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh CHRISTIAN!" I scream as the orgasm rips through me.
Christian continues to move the item slowly in and out of my ass; I realize this is prolonging the orgasm as his fingers are no longer on my clit. I'm embarrassed at the way my body is reacting to anal play; I've always thought it was wrong but my body clearly feels otherwise. The continued movement in my ass prevents my body from completely coming down from the orgasm despite the power of it.
"Ohhhhhhhh" I moan as he suddenly removes the no longer vibrating object from my sex.
His hand continues to hold the item in my ass as he leans up kissing me deeply as his erection rubs against my opening. I want to touch him so bad, but seeing as I am fully restrained this is impossible. Suddenly the item from my ass is removed, and without warning he slams into my soaking sex. I scream in surprise and pleasure as this position has Christian in me deeper than before. He grips my thighs firmly as he plunges in and out of my sex; I can't do anything but accept the pleasure.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh" I moan as another orgasm quickly approaches.
"You feel so good Ana" he moans from above me. "I don't think I could ever get enough of you."
"Christian….don't stop….please" I beg turned on further by his words.
He quickly increases the pace and the intensity of his thrusts, nearly pulling all the way out of me before thrusting in me deeply. He continues this pace for several minutes before we are both moaning loudly; I can feel him swell deep inside of me moments before he commands me to come. Just as I find my release, I feel him burst inside finding his own release. He stays inside of me deeply, as he disconnects my legs gently moving them back to the bed. He unlatches my arms, removing the blindfold before collapsing on top of me.
"Hi" I say breathlessly.
"Hey" he whispers.
"That was intense" I admit.
"Do your legs hurt?" he asks.
"They feel like rubber right now" I laugh.
"Let's go to bed" Christian pulls out of me leaving me feeling empty.
He puts the silk robe on me again; I realize I have no idea how it gets in here since I always take it into his room with me but I've grown fond of it. It covers just enough to be modest but leaves me feeling sexy following a scene. Christian carries me bridal style to his room where we both wash up and climb into bed naked. He wraps his arms tightly around me as we cuddle in bed. We spend the entire night wrapped in each other's arms.
"I'd like you to work at GEH this week until Welsh figures out the security issue" Christian says over dinner the next day.
"Christian, I can't. I need to be at SIP to oversee things" I say.
"Please Ana" Christian begs.
"Maybe I can work at GEH a couple days, but I will need to at least go to the office to pick up things tomorrow morning" I sigh.
"I will have Andrea set up the office next to mine for you to use while you are at GEH" he smiles.
"It's only temporary Christian; I can't turn my life upside because of Jack Hyde" I say.
"I know Ana, but I need to know you're safe" Christian hugs me tightly.
Several days later
"Grey" Christian answers his phone as we sit down for breakfast. "Yes…we will be there shortly."
"Everything okay?" I ask.
"Welsh wants to meet with both of us at GEH" Christian says.
"Did he find Hyde?" I ask nervously.
"I don't know; he just wants to meet with us" Christian explains.
The ride to GEH is quiet; I'm nervous about what Welsh is going to tell us. There has been so little information on Hyde; according to Taylor they have someone watching his house and he hasn't been back there since my apartment was destroyed. Welsh had previously said there were no financial transactions indicating his movements but hopefully he found something that can help us figure out where Hyde is. Working at GEH this week has been interesting; I've seen Christian in CEO mode which is not all that different from his dom mode. He truly commands his office and seems to have the respect of all his employees. It has not been easy working at GEH given that almost everything I need is at SIP and I feel bad that Sawyer has had to make numerous trips back and forth to the office to pick or deliver things but Christian reassures me it's all for my safety.
"Good Morning Mr. Grey, Ms. Steele" Andrea greets us.
"Morning" we both say in unison.
"Andrea, can you let Welsh know that we are available to meet when he is?" Christian requests.
"Yes Mr. Grey" Andrea picks up the phone presumably to call Welsh.
"I'll see you in a few minutes" Christian kisses my cheek before walking into this office.
I get settled in what has quickly become my new office, although it's only temporary I have tried to make it as comfortable as possible. Sawyer has brought over some paintings from my apartment to hang up and I've picked up a couple house plants to liven the place up. Much like Christian's apartment, almost everything in his office building is completely white. I start up my computer and begin responding to a few emails when Christian walks in letting me know Welsh, Barney and Taylor are ready to meet with us.
"Good Morning Mr. Grey, Ms. Steele" Welsh greets us.
"Morning" Barney says.
"Good morning gentleman" I sit next to Christian at the large table.
"Gentleman, what do we have?" Christian begins the meeting.
"We received a package early this morning" Welsh begins.
"Wait? What? Here?" I interrupt.
"Yes" Welsh produces several pictures in sealed plastic bags.
Christian and I slowly look over all the pictures; they are mostly just of me and Sawyer however there is several of me with Christian. It looks like they are taken from further away than the previous pictures but it's still creepy to think that this guy is still following me.
"Did he drop them off here?" Christian asks.
"No," Barney says. "I have reviewed all the security tapes and he does not appear on any of them. The envelope arrived yesterday afternoon with our regular mail and as is standard protocol with all unusual packages it was immediately flagged as suspicious because it did not have a return address on it."
"Have we made any progress in finding Hyde?" I ask.
"Not yet Ms. Steele" Taylor says disappointed. "He has not returned to his house, we have someone watching it 24/7."
"There has been no activity on any bank accounts or credit cards" Welsh explains.
"So we have nothing" I sigh.
"Not exactly" Barney says. "I've been digging a little further into your network and servers at SIP and Seattle E books. I have installed a watch dog program which records everyone internet usage, sites visited, emails sent, etc. It does not slow computers down or delay the sending or receiving of any emails. There is one employee at SIP who routinely forwards SIP emails to a personal email account that is not located on SIP's server. Of the emails forwarded I have found two indicating the new security codes on the building that Stacy sent out."
"Who is the employee?" I ask.
"Elizabeth Morgan" Barney says.
"Do you know her?" Christian asks.
"Not off hand…I mean I'm sure I met her during a staff meeting but nothing about the name stands out" I answer after a few moments.
"According to what I can find, she is an editor at SIP where she has been employed for the last three years" Barney explains.
"You believe she is feeding Hyde the security information?" Christian asks.
"Yes" Barney says firmly. "I can't tell who accesses the personal email account she forwards the emails to but it is registered in her name. It would explain how Hyde was able to get into the building to put the envelope on Ms. Steele's desk without triggering the alarms."
"I will arrange for the termination of her employment" I announce.
"Actually, I wouldn't" Barney says.
"What? Why?" Christian asks alarmed.
"We think we could use her" Welsh speaks up.
"Use her?" I ask.
"We would feed her information that she would in turn feed to Hyde…we could set him up. Nothing that would place Ms. Steele in danger of course, but if we could get our hands on him we could hold him until the police arrive. According to the police they have enough evidence to charge Hyde with breaking and entering as well as destruction of property" Welsh explains.
"How would this work?" I ask.
"We were thinking that you would send an email to your editors letting them know you are working late one evening…maybe requesting they not set the alarm or something. Our hope is that Elizabeth then forwards the email to this personal account where Hyde then reads it. We expect he would come to SIP that night" Taylor outlines.
"I don't like this" Christian mumbles.
"What then?" I ask.
"We would have constant eyes on all entrances of the building and several security staff posted throughout the building. Barney has already installed security cameras throughout the building including at all entrances. We do not believe staff are aware of these cameras as they have not been notified of it" Taylor explains.
"What if he comes after Ana?" Christian asks.
"He won't be able to sir" Taylor answers. "We will grab him before he gets to her office, but in the event that he does, an armed member of the security team will be stationed in her office."
"Why does she need to be there?" Christian asks.
"We are afraid that if she leaves he will notice; it's likely he has eyes on the building" Taylor answers. "We plan to sneak security into the building disguised as workers and delivery men. One truck enters with a driver; instead of unloading office supplies, security men are unloaded. The truck leaves and if Hyde is watching the building he doesn't suspect anything."
"I don't know" Christian sighs.
"Let's do it" I say confidently.
"Ana, are you sure?" Christian asks.
"Christian, I'm done putting my life on hold because of him. Let's do this so we can move on" I answer.
"We will start getting everything in place and notify you when we are ready" Taylor says as everyone leaves the room.
"Ana, are you sure you want to do this? We can find another way-" Christian begins.
"No, we need to do this Christian. You heard Taylor, I will have security in my office so there is no chance of him getting to me" I say.
"I still don't like it" he wraps his arms around me.
"I know, but it will be fine" I reassure him.
"Come to Taiwan with me" Christian says a few minutes later.
"What?" I ask surprised.
"I have to go, I don't have a choice the deal isn't going through. Come with me" he says.
"When?" I ask.
"As soon as this bullshit with Hyde is done" Christian answers firmly.
"I don't know how long I can be away…" I say.
"It's only for a few days" Christian quickly replies. "Please Ana….let me take you away from all the craziness and the worry."
"I suppose I could take work with me to do while you're meeting with this company" I think aloud.
"Maybe we can visit the place we first met" Christian smirks.
"I'd like that" I remember those two nights fondly.
