His gray eyes for a moment remained fixed on mine while we were both motionless. He lifted one of his hands towards my face, pulling the hair away from my face and caressing my cheek tenderly, causing me to close my eyes to his caresses.

—Ana. —he said, making me open my eyes and lose me in his gaze while he continued caressing my face. —I love you...and now I realize that I have never stopped doing it, I had only buried my feelings deep down and now they are surfacing, I think I can't help telling you constantly and I'm not going to get tired of doing it. —he said as he slowly kissed me making a strange current run through my body from my lips that he devoured softly and sensually.

—I love you too, Chris. —I told him when he finally left my lips as I stroked his face slowly feeling the insipient beard beneath my fingers.

I loved it when it looked this way, I didn't know why but it made it look sexier than it already was, it looked more like Christian and less like my boss. Then as I put one hand on his neck and the other on his leg I began to move slowly as I slowly devoured his lips. Christian put his hands on my waist as he pushed me against him slowly in and out of me.

—God! —I exclaimed as I felt it slowly slide into me. —I love making love with you, I don't understand how I could forget this. — I said to him with my breath cut off.

—That's what I'm for, to remind you of every second, minute, hour and every moment of the day that I love you, that I love to make love to you slowly and lose myself in your body until madness. —he said to me against my lips while little by little he was increasing the envelopes and the pressure of his hands on my waist.

We both gasped hard as we devoured our lips. He turned me in a quick motion making me lie in bed as he continued enter inside me slowly and passionately until we both screamed and fell exhausted from pleasure in bed.

—Should we order something for dinner or should we do it outside?

We were in the bath tub after a torrid afternoon of sex. Foam covered our bodies as one of his hands slid down my completely wet body. Christian was sitting behind me, his lips rubbing against my neck sending electric shocks all over my skin.

—Don't worry about me, I'd rather stay here all night. —I replied as I felt him laugh at my neck.

—As tempting as the idea is to me, we have to get out at some point. —he said as his hands slowly traveled south of my body.

—Just a few more minutes. —I answered him as I turned towards him to kiss him.

—Come on, let's order something to eat, only that way I know I'll have you more time in my arms. —he kissed me back and helped me get out of the tub.

Christian ordered dinner and after dinner we talked quietly until late into the night when we retired to sleep embracing each other.

—Are you ready to drive your new car? —Christian asked me the next morning as the elevator doors were closing.

If it had been for Christian right now I would be in bed lying down and not about to drive my new borrowed car. I felt much better, had no more fever and after convincing him with my infallible seduction technique, he had agreed to let me go to work.

—I have waited a long time already. —I replied with a smile.

—Well, it's all yours. —he said as he held out his car keys to me.

—Just for a while. —I remembered him as I took the car keys smiling.

The doors opened in the basement and we headed for the car. The truth was that the elegance of the powerful sports car stood out to the eye. I removed the alarm from the car and opened the doors with the remote control. It was much more sumptuous on the inside than on the outside. You could see Christian's affection for that car by the idiot smile on his face. All the tapestry on the car was black and red. After closing the door I put the key in the ignition and the engine roared with its characteristic sound. I smiled at Christian before setting the speed and leaving the underground parking lot for the museum. I had missed very much the feeling of driving, it was as if an eternity had passed since I had done it for the last time and that unfortunately or luckily I did not remember. But what I really wanted most was to remember what had happened that day. Christian told me that I was talking to him on speakerphone when the accident happened and that I had written down the license plate of the car. I would just like to remember where.

The car was moving quickly along the road. Never in my best dream would I have imagined driving a Mustang. We got to the museum faster than I had imagined and I parked the car with a stupid smile on my face and turned to Christian who was smiling at me too.

—I had never imagined anyone would be happy to drive a car.

—I had missed this a lot. —I replied with emotion.

—I see that, come on. —he said, opening the door and getting out of the car.

As we always did, we walked hand in hand and Christian would steal a kiss from me when I least imagined him surprising me all the time. The day passed quickly as I concentrated on restoring the new painting that had been brought to me. Nothing less and nothing more than a 1662 Vermeer, "Woman in the Window".

Every now and then I would look at Christian's office without being able to avoid it and surprise him by looking at me, then I'd throw him a kiss while he smiled at me. I tried to concentrate again on my work when I got a message.

"Why don't you come and give it to me personally". I looked again at the office where he looked at me raising an eyebrow and smiling perversely.

"You think I can work in peace, some of us need to work for a living." I replied as I looked into the office to see his reaction.

"Just because I'm a millionaire doesn't mean I don't work for a living." he replied, while I could see him put on a bad face in his office, and that just made me laugh.

At that very moment another message came to me.

"Although right now I'm thinking of a delicious work session on my desk." he replied as my breathing accelerated as I read his message.

I looked at the office where he looked at me in such a way that I lost my mind and my body began to tremble. My cell phone almost fell out of my hands when I saw it. At that moment, he loosened his necktie and closed the office windows. That was strange.

"Is something wrong with you?" I sent him asking him, worried, he answered almost instantly.

"I can't concentrate if I'm watching you." his message made me smile.

"The same thing happens to me, maybe I can do something for you to help you concentrate." I asked him suggestively.

Like the previous time, his response message came quickly.

"I think that would only make me more distracted, but thank you, I think in the evening I will accept your offer." he replied, making me laugh out loud.

And we didn't send each other any more messages so I was able to concentrate on the restoration but only until noon when Christian caught me whispering in my ear as he bit the lobe of my ear.

—Do you know how sexy you look when you're focused on work? —he whispered to me, making all my skin stand up completely.

—No, I didn't know.

—It makes me want to undress you and make love to you right here. —he said to me as he slid his hands around my waist and put one inside my jeans by caressing one of my buttocks.

—And why don't you do it? —I challenged him.

The basement was empty, Ethan and Mia had already left for lunch. Christian had one hand on my waist while with the other he massaged my buttock starting to excite me. His lips slipped slowly down my neck making an involuntary groaning escape from my lips. But at the same time my guts roared making Christian laugh at my neck.

—I think your stomach doesn't think the same. —he said, making me laugh too.

—Then let's have lunch. —I answered him as I turned around on the sidewalk, sitting in front of him.

To my surprise he was wearing only the shirt, without the jacket and without the tie. I stared at him for a moment before laughing.

—Are you very hot? —I asked him, still laughing.

—Why do you say that? —he replied as he looked at himself.

—Because you're alone with your shirt and sleeves up.

—Ah, that. —he smiled at me and glued himself to me, putting his other hand inside the jeans and his lips near mine. —Just looking at you ignites my body completely, this has never happened to me before. What are you doing to me? —he asked me as he glued his lips lightly with mine making me close my eyes to the soft, warm rub.

—I should say the same thing. —I answered him as I entangled my hands around his neck and pulled him to kiss us briefly. —Now let's have lunch. —I said to him as he separated from me smiling.

As we did every day, we went to lunch at the hamburger restaurant near the museum. On my way back I spent the afternoon concentrating on work. I almost didn't look at Christian's office, I just paused briefly in the afternoon for a soda and then continued working until it was time to leave where Christian picked me up.

—I think it's time to go. —he hugged me from behind as I smiled and turned in his arms.

—Yes, let's go. —I said to him as I stood up.

We left the museum and after getting in the car I drove to my apartment. Kate had already arrived, she was in the kitchen when we entered and as soon as she felt the door close she left whatever it was she was doing and came running in my direction. She greeted me with a strong, emotional embrace that took my breath away. I could feel Christian laughing behind us.

—Kate, I can't breathe. —I said to her, making her let me go.

—I'm sorry I was so worried about you. —how are you feeling? —she said, examining me from top to bottom.

—Now that you've released me and I can breathe, much better. —I replied while Christian laughed. —Christian took good care of me. —I answered him while he hugged me at the waist and kissed me on the neck.

—Yes, that's what I see, dinner is almost ready, Elliot should be here soon. —she said on his way to the kitchen again.

—I'll change and help you. —I said to her as she stopped me raising one hand

—Don't worry, I'm almost done, you can go for a bath. —she said as she turned again and headed for the kitchen.

We went to my room, and as we entered Christian closed the door and lay on it as he looked at me sideways with his arms crossed over his chest.

—Is something wrong? —I asked him, frowning.

He brought one hand to his lips and clutched his lower lip thoughtful as he kept his sexy, provocative gaze from me. His way of looking at me was already beginning to excite me and make me nervous.

—I'm just thinking about something. —he said as he loosened his tie and then took off his jacket and put it to one side.

When he was alone with the shirt he approached me. Its proximity was still affecting me in the same way as on the first day. And his way of looking at me continued to be that of a hungry predator about to devour his prey.

—And what are you thinking. —I asked him and I couldn't avoid the nervousness in my voice, his presence altered me.

—I'm thinking what I'm going to take you first. —he said as he looked up and down at me approaching me. —...the shirt... —he said as he slid one hand over the shoulder strap. —...or the jeans. —he said as his hands went towards my buttocks. —I accept suggestions. —he said with his lips glued to mine, slightly biting my lower lip and sending an electric shock all over my body.

—How about we start with your shirt. —I said to him as my hands went towards the buttons and I started to loosen it.

—A good suggestion, but we can also start with your shirt. —he said as he quickly raised his hands and pulled my shirt out of my head and shoulders, causing me to raise my hands and leave it with the shirt unbuttoned still on. —That's a start now. —he said, separating himself a little from me to look at me.

—Are you finished? —I asked him in the hope that he would let me continue undressing him.

—No, I just started, but now. —he said as he glued his warm body to mine. —Let's take a bath, I don't want Kate to come in looking for us for dinner and we're not ready. —he said to me while I looked at him disappointed, but apparently he noticed my face. —I'll make it worth the wait. —he said as he slowly kissed my neck. —I promise. —he said as he slid one hand down my cheek making me close my eyes.

Then in a quick movement he carried me in his arms, making a scream escape me, and he went to the bathroom while we both laughed.

—You were right. —I said to him as I rested my head on his bare chest sliding my fingers along it as my breathing normalized.

—About what? —he asked me as he stroked my hair with rhythmic movements.

—It was worth the wait. —I answered while he laughed under me.

—I told you, I always keep what I promise. —he answered me while he kissed me on the forehead. —Now how about we sleep.

—Yeah, let's go to sleep. —I said as I yawned and settling more in his chest, I closed my eyes and fell asleep almost instantly.

When I opened my eyes I found myself driving my car and when I looked through the rear-view mirror I noticed that someone was following me...I closed my eyes for a moment and when I opened them again I found myself head first in the car, my whole body hurt. I closed my eyes once more and found myself on the road as rain fell on me and blood ran down my face and then everything turned black.

I woke up startled, my whole body was bathed in sweat, I breathed heavily, I was agitated and trembling. I got out of bed and after putting on some clothes I went out to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and drank a glass of water while meditating on what I had dreamt.

—Ana, love, did something happen? —Christian asked me behind me and startled me.

As I turned around, I found him without a shirt, with only a pants on, and looking at me worried.

—Ana? You're fine, you look like you've seen a ghost. —he asked with concern once more.

—A nightmare... although it seemed very real. —I replied as I sat on one bench and he sat next to me on another.

—What did you dream? Talking about it might help. —he said to me as he pulled the sweaty hair away from my forehead.

—Everything is a little blurry and confusing, but I don't think it's a dream, rather a memory of the accident.

—Are you sure? What did you remember? —he asked as he stared at me.

—Not much, only that someone was following me, seeing me head first in the car and then on the road in the rain, I don't remember much more, everything is very confused.

—Don't worry, love, even if you don't remember anything else, I promise I'll find the guilty. —he reassured me as he took my hands between his own and kissed them.

—I know, only it's very frustrating not to remember certain things.

—Forget it, let's go to sleep. —he said as he held my face in his hands and kissed me on the lips making me smile slightly.

Yes, let's go to sleep. I said to him as I got up from the bench and headed towards the room with Christian taking my hand.

Already in bed I curled up once more on his chest and as he slowly slid his hand down my back I fell asleep.
