Chapter 7
A week passed and things were looking up. Ana left her interview with a smile on her face. She had been talking to Christian every night. SIP wasn't far from his building and she decided to surprise him.
She went to the same shop she decided not to eat at that day. She grabbed two of everything, sandwiches, strawberry pecan salads with a homemade vinaigrette dressing, chips, brownies, and 2 iced matcha with chai. She didn't know what he liked so she had enough to feed the entire office.
She climbed into Wanda and she started like a dream. She stepped into the building and cursed herself. She remembered she wouldn't be let up without an appointment. She turned and heard her name, "Miss Steele?"
She smiled seeing Olivia and waved, "I wanted to surprise Christian with lunch. Then I realized I didn't have an appointment. Maybe you can call up?"
Olivia smiled and realized she had no idea. "Miss Steele, let me get you your key card." Ana watched her go to the desk. "You have full access to this building and Escala anytime you wish. From now on, use this card to enter the garage and head to his office. He doesn't want you parking on the street. If you leave me your keys, Taylor will get your car for you. Go ahead." Ana had the bags of food and drinks in the drink holder. Olivia helped her up. The elevator ride was quiet until Olivia thanked her for saving her job. "The day you came in I was messing up left and right, but your kind words about me helped."
Andrea recognized her and helped grab the food. Christian was standing leaning against his desk. His knuckles were white from gripping the edge tightly. He had a frown on his face that was erased immediately when she walked in. She froze seeing his mother and father sitting in front of him. "Ana!" Grace turned immediately. She was sad and her eyes were red from crying, Ana knew that look.
Carrick cleared his throat and stood up fastening his suit jacket. She saw where Christian got it from. Grace quietly excused herself to his restroom. Ana realized she walked in on something that she shouldn't have.
She gave herself a quick pep talk, "Say something Ana." Ana smiled, "I left my interview and I wanted to surprise you and celebrate." She held up the huge bags of food. "I have enough for everyone." Christian smiled and Carrick saw how happy his son was. Grace had already mentioned her and Elliot talked about Kate and Ana.
Christian grabbed the bags and kissed her cheek. "Ana, you met my mother, this is my father." Christian put the food down and watched their interaction.
He hugged her immediately. "I'm Carrick, don't even think about Mr. Grey." Ana smiled and chatted quickly and his dad went to check on Grace.
She saw Christian approaching and was still concerned about interrupting the conversation. She bit her lip nervously. Christian grabbed her cheek. "I'd like to bite that lip, but I'll settle for this." He kissed her cheek.
Ana released it immediately. It was a nervous habit, but Christian pointed it out constantly. "Christian, what did I walk into?"
He guided her to the table. "I told them the truth last night. My mom is crushed. She demanded to see me again. She apparently assaulted Elena last night." Ana was wide eyed. "She's not in trouble or anything, but this hurt her."
Christian took out the food. "Christian, I can leave. I don't want to upset her." He shook his head and explained this lunch would make her happy. He asked her not to leave."
Ana set the table in his office and smiled as Grace came out looking better. She hugged her tight and stopped herself from crying again. "It's good to see you baby and you're eating." They sat and had a fantastic lunch. Christian smiled as Ana took control of the conversation. He wasn't used to any of it. Ana made everything light and easy.
Grace pulled Ana to the side, "He said he told you. He also said he only told us because of you." Ana saw tears fall down her face. She couldn't imagine how it felt to be betrayed by her best friend like that. It would be like Kate doing something to her children. It would hurt. "Thank you for coming into his life. He said you two are just friends, but I know he would love more and so would I."
Ana cleaned up the lunch mess while Christian hugged his parents goodbye. It looked new, like he never did it before. She could tell by the shock on their faces, but they liked it. Christian shook his head, "Leave that! Andrea can get it."
Ana gave him an evil stare, "Christian, you don't treat people like that. She can get it, but so can I and so can you. We both have two hands you know." Christian squinted and went to help her clean up the mess.
He cleaned, but watched her carefully. "So, you got the job, nice. We should celebrate. What would you like to do?"
Ana bit her lip, she had an idea. "Spend the night with you." Christian smiled, but he didn't expect anything. Ana was different and she needed time. She was special and he was willing to wait for her signal. They enjoyed dinner and they even did the dishes. Their hands touched in the warm water and she felt a chill even though the water was hot.
She jumped after hearing his phone. He smiled, "Grey!" She wiped her hands and finished up while he took his call. She walked around to look. She looked up the stairs and thought about his room and his lifestyle. She understood what it all meant and she knew she was ready for that, but he intrigued her.
She heard his voice coming from his office and walked in. "Ok Roz, take care of it please. Yes I'm sure."
She looked at the bookshelf and turned after hearing him hang up. "Christian, don't you have rules?" She saw him look up in shock. "I mean for your women."
He sat down as she sat in front of him. "I would have rules." She asked to see an example contract. "How do you know this?"
Ana shot back, "Ohhh poor Ana, she's just a virgin and doesn't know anything." She smirked and he held his laugh. "Show me one. I won't run, I promise." Christian stood up and grabbed a file. He handed it over. Ana read it. She read to herself and didn't react. She knew Christian was watching her carefully. "The dominant may flog, spank, or whip the submissive for any rule infraction. Wow, this is very detailed. It's so Christian Grey."
She looked at the rules, thinking she would be hit everyday. She looked up with those beautiful blue eyes and bit her lip. She was toying with him and he knew it. "You have a smart mouth. If you were mine, I would…"
He stopped and she bit her lip, "You would what? Spank me?" He gritted his teeth and she saw his jaw clenched tightly. Ana didn't cut him any slack, she wanted to egg him on. "What would you spank me with? Your hand, one of those whips, or a belt?"
She saw Christian's breathing change. "I wouldn't hurt you. Ever." The conversation was changing. Christian was tense and scared, but so was Ana. She not wasn't used to that kind of relationship, she wasn't used to any relationship.
Ana needed to know, "So you and I won't have rules or punishment. What if we have rules and I break them? Will you punish me? What if we argue and you don't like it? Are you going to put me over your knee if you don't get your way." Christian didn't know the answer. He didn't want to, but he didn't know if he would not be able to. He was losing her and he didn't even have her. He stood up and walked away.
Ana didn't move at first. Then finally she got up and walked to find him. She saw him in his bedroom sitting on the bed with his hands in his hair. "Christian, I didn't mean to upset you. My questions are fair. Before I get into this, I just need to know your expectations."
He stood up, "I don't want to hurt you. I don't want rules or punishments with you, but I don't know if I need it." Ana walked up to him and felt his face. "Ana, I'm fucked up. You should stay clear of me."
Ana kissed him, "I don't believe that. I will if that's what you want, but if we can keep the communication open and clear, I'm willing to try. I want more Christian Grey. What do you want?"
Christian kissed her softly as her legs touched the bed. He gently pulled her pants down and held his breath as he saw her white cotton panties. Everything was pure. He kissed her thigh and she giggled and bent her leg at the knee. He moved up to kiss her lips. He gently sat her on the bed. "Are you sure?"
Ana nodded, she wanted him. He undid her white bra and gently removed the straps from her shoulders to see her small breasts with erect pink nipples. He attacked her neck causing her to moan. "Mmmmm." He touched her neck and gently pushed her back onto the bed. Before he stood up he kissed her belly causing her to giggle and squirm.
He unbuttoned his shirt and she used her legs to push up the silky blue sheets. She noticed small circles on his chest as he removed his shirt but didn't ask. He caught her eyes, "They're burns, don't worry about them." He removed his pants, she saw his length that was semi erect already. It was thick and was only going to grow more in length.
He smiled and climbed on top of her kissing different parts of her body causing small moans to escape her mouth. He pulled off her delicate panties and hovered above her. He reached between her legs and inserted a finger as she let out a gasp. Her toes curled grasping the sheets and bed. He sat up and ripped a condom open with his teeth. She watched him pull it over his length which was now straight and hard. He looked into her eyes making sure she hadn't changed her mind, "Do you trust me?" She was silent and only nodded. " I need you to say it."
Ana kissed him, "I trust you Christian." He knew it would hurt. He had never cared before. He pushed in quickly, but as gentle as he could. "Ahhhh!" He didn't cover her scream, he wanted her to let it out. Normally he demanded his submissives to be quiet. He rocked in a motion until she found the rhythm with him. She gripped his shoulders and Christian enclosed his hands in hers holding them against the bed. He eventually let go realizing she wanted to touch him. He smiled when he didn't feel pain from her touch.
She was tight and tightening more every second. "Mmmm Christian, I feel, I feel…Ahhhhh!" Christian went deeper and picked up the pace a little. He knew she was ready, but didn't know it. He made sure they came together. "Christian!"
He watched her sleep and he fell asleep after her. She moaned, feeling sore, but it was a good sore. She stretched and he woke up hearing her moan. She blinked and saw him leaning on his elbow. She looked at his chest and saw the scars. She smiled, "That was amazing. Am I your girlfriend?"
Ana waited because Christian Grey didn't seem like the boyfriend type. She didn't care or at least that's what she told herself. "Do you have a passport?" Ana frowned because he didn't answer the question. She shook her head because she didn't, she didn't need one. "Well, I travel, so you can be my girlfriend but you need a passport." She kissed him and touched his chest as she rolled on top of him. "Let's get you cleaned up." After a long soak in the warm water, Ana fell asleep with him by her side. Christian smiled, "I've got a girlfriend. And she's fucking amazing."
