Chapter 3
A/N. Thank you to the lovely Hope for the editing.
APOV
I thought I was going to enjoy the first night in my apartment alone but princess Mia had other ideas. Mia suggested we go out to a club to bust out some moves and introduce me to everyone. It takes her under an hour to get clothes and the full works delivered to my apartment. I am guessing that having a lawyer dad and a doctor mother she gets things done. The dress Mia has forced on me is so revealing I can't go out in this I will get frostbite in very intimate areas. I give up complaining to Mia as Mia always wins. We have a cheeky shot before we leave and as I open the door Christian is standing there.
"Hello beautiful ladies, I am headed to the club so let me drive you both there," Mia looks confused at Christian I am guessing he does not usually offer his help.
"Thanks bro what is the occasion? You usually send a driver to chauffeur me around." Mia ask curiously.
"Well usually you're not in my building, and what kind of brother would I be if I didn't make sure my sister and her friend were safe?" He smiles and winks at me. I won't give into his charms as I can tell that he would be bad for me.
"So you own the building Christian?" I say when we are in the car.
"I do Ana and to save you finding out once we are there, the club is mine also." He adds smugly. Ugh men and their toys.
"Is there anything you don't own?" He looks at me using his mirror as I am in the back of the car.
"There is one thing I can think of that I would love to make mine," The way he looks at me makes me breathe a little deeper as my heart is racing.
Once we are inside the club we are escorted to the VIP section. Severs bring bottles and mixers to the table. I am so dazzled by all of this like it does not seems real. Mia's friends arrive and they seem like a great bunch they are all in the dance group. Kate and Jose take the most time to talk to me but Lily and Leila ignore me completely.
Christian comes back to the table with a blonde surfer kind of guy; who he introduces to me as his brother Elliot who I will be working for. Compared to Christian Elliot seems so fun and easy going. I can't help but think of the amazing genetics in the Grey family looking at the three siblings together it's like looking at models. Mia demands we all go and dance but Christian whispers into her ear and she changes dancing to drinking more.
"Mia is everyone hot, hot, hot in your family I mean come on."
"Wow Ana how many drinks have you had?" Mia snickers at me.
" I am still on my first drink Mia, I am just being honest I mean look at the three of you I even bet your dad and mom are hot." I take a long sip of my mixed drink.
"They are making these drinks too strong tonight Ana."
Christian moves closer to me and asks if I am ok and if I need anything. I guess you get the full hospitality service when at his club. A piece of my hair falls onto my face and Christian touches my face and then removes the hair from it. My temperature rises I am blaming the heat from the club as it can be no way from his touch. We are both snapped out of our moment by Leila asking a question.
"So Ali how do you know Christian here?."
"My name is Ana, Christian is Mia's brother and me and Christian live together." I freak out and back track what I just said.
"I mean we live in the same building." I am so embarrassed now and I know my face is bright red. I look at Christian who seems to be amused by the whole thing.
"Well Ali I wouldn't get your hopes up with our Christian here. Once you open your legs to him he will be done with you."
I don't even
get a chance to look at Christian before he is up out of the booth and dragging Leila off. I am guessing they have some sort of relationship going on. In a way I am glad as I will truly stay away from him as I knew he has player written all over him and now my suspicions have been confirmed.
"Ana please ignore that bitch, she has always been after Christian she even pretends to be his girlfriend it's pathetic." Mia sneers in Leila's direction.
Cookie by R Kelly starts to play in the distance and I know it's time to hit the dance floor. We are all pulling some serious moves on the floor. I start to receive some unwanted attention from some greasy guy and he won't take no for an answer. Before I can move away I see a fist brush past me. I look up and I see that Christian has punched greasy guy and he is laid out on the floor.
The whole club goes silent and everybody is looking at us even Mia is looking confused. Christian grabs my hand and leads me out of the club and helps me into his car. He drives off a bit faster than he should be driving. He looks like he is about to hulk out so I keep my mouth shut just in case.
"Ana I am sorry about all that back there. I promised your father I would keep you safe and that was me keeping it."
"Thank you for that but I can protect myself Christian. I am not a damsel in distress you know," I give him my most convincing I am a strong woman look I even channel my inner Beyoncé.
" I am sure you can Ana but I was being a gentleman."
"Something tells me you are never a gentleman," He gives me that sexy wink of his and It gets hard to breathe again. What the hell is wrong with me.
"I have my moments Ana."
He is defiantly trying to play gentlemen tonight as he walks mew to my door and makes sure I can in safely. I see a package waiting for me on the breakfast bar and I wonder how it got in here. I look at the card before opening the box as you can never be too careful.
Ana
Welcome to Seattle in this box is everything you will need for work and also personal use. If you need anything my number is already installed into your new phone and all my other contact information is there also.

I open the box and there is and IPhone and IPad and a laptop. I needed all new tech so I am happy but I don't actually feel comfortable with Christian buying me these items. I will be working for his brother so shouldn't he be supplying work related stuff. I decide to have a play with my new phone and send a text to Mia I shouldn't be surprised that she already has my number. We text for a while and we talk about her brothers' weird behaviour this evening.
I am feeling tense so I decide that I should get my dance clothes on and go check out this gym Christian has mentioned. As I am getting dressed I gain the courage to send Christian a text.
*AS: Thank you for all the tech. I don't think I should accept them as they are too much and I won't be working for your company. I don't feel comfortable accepting gifts from people without being able to give them anything in return.
*CG: Ana you will accept them they are yours, Yes, you will be working for my brother but I am a major investor for his company. Enjoy all your tech Ana and it's nice to know that you found my number in your phone.
*As: Ok Christian you win. I don't want to fight a losing battle as I am sure you would get your own way eventually. I will say goodnight as I am going down to the gym to have a work out.
*CG: I always get my way Ana. Please remember that and I will see you in the gym as I do nightly workouts myself.
I am instantly regretting my sports bra and tight yoga pants outfit now. I get to the gym and see that half of it is machines and the other is a small dance studio. I am guessing Christian put this in for when Mia is here. I put on my headphones and start to stretch. I bend to my toes and as I am getting back up I see Christian behind me in the mirror.
"Christian you could have scared me," I say as I pull out my headphones.
" I was proving a point Ana that headphones are not safe as you did not hear me approaching you."
"Maybe you're just a good predator," He looks too happy to be called a predator it kind of creeps me out.
" I like to be good at everything Ana. Pass me your iPod please I will hook it up to the sound system in here so you won't have to wear earphones. I am protecting you from any predators other than myself."
He seems ok with having music on in here which makes it easier for me. I finish stretching while Christian starts on the treadmill I feel so exposed as he can see my every move in the mirrors. I shake off the feeling of being watched and work on the new routine I have tried to perfect.
After I nail my routine I stretch out to cool down. Christian has already got off the treadmill and is waiting for me with a towel and some water. I don't think he even worked out at all.
"Thank you," I say when he hands me the towel and water.
" Your wonderful dancer Ana," He licks his lips at me and I don't want to be in a confined space with me any longer.
"Thank you Christian I have always loved to dance. I thought as Mia is bringing me into her group tomorrow that I better get in a practice you know make sure I still got it."
"You have defiantly got it Ana," Every time he talks to me I feel like there is a hidden meaning behind his words.
The elevator ride is excruciating I practically bolt out away from him. I am going to avoid being alone with him from now on. My suspicions of him being a man whore where proven tonight that reminds me I forgot to ask him about that Leila girl. Once I am safely in my apartment I can think straight again Christian makes it hard for me to concentrate on anything other than him. I will not allow him to suck me into whatever game he has going on.
I try out my new shower and it relaxes me, I start to get paranoid that I am being watched but I put it down to first night in a new place jitters.
CPOV
I assumed Ana would be safe and staying home this evening but my tornado of a sister came crashing in. I am thankful she is so loud as Sawyer heard what she had planned from outside the door. I already know what Mia will do she will text me demanding clothes shoes and all the rest of it and she will let me know she is taking over my club. This happens on a weekly basis and I always give her what she asks for.
I send a text to EL to see if he is up for a few drinks. He lets me know he was going out tonight anyway as he needs a place to put his dick for the night. One day he will come crying to me as he has warts and green shit hanging from his dick.
I wanted to stay home this evening as I never get much down time but a nightclub is like a breeding ground for bad shit. Ana how no clue the danger she could be in at any time so protection is important. My inner beast tells me that I am more of a danger to her and I should leave her alone and not be selfish. Yes, my inner beast can go fuck himself before I listen as I am selfish and if I want something I take it and have it.
Seeing Ana wearing the dress she is wearing is nearly enough to make me have a heart attack she looks fucking hot. Mia is making me look bad as she starts to question my motives. Me and Ana have a moment in the car and I know she felt it to maybe she would be interested in what I had to offer. Then I realize all I have to offer her are lies heartbreak and she would never be safe.
Ana seems impressed with the VIP treatment but I think she is just being polite as she does not come off as shallow and superficial. I am enjoying being in her company until Mia's dumbass friends turn up and fucking Leila did I not make myself clear with her. I hear Ana's comment about our family being hot it makes me feel smug but then pisses me off as she calls EL hot to. Me being pissed off turns into complete anger when fucking Leila decides to speak I drag her away before she can continue but I know Ana already heard all she needed to.
" Did I not warn you enough?" I practically drag her into my office.
"Yes Christian you know how I love it when you rough with me." I feel like I need to hurl now. Why did I ever put my dick into that creature? Weak moment I guess.
"This is your last warning if you don't stay away from me and keep that mouth shut I will permanently make you go away am I making myself clear," I go to grab my knife which is just a scare tactic as I would never be violent to a woman outside fucking that is.
She runs from the room crying and I hope I have made my point. I leave my office to only see EL at the booth. He points over to the
dance floor where I see Ana and fuck me she is so sexy when she dances. I notice a guy getting far too close to her which makes Taylor and Sawyer signal me and I signal back to let them know I will deal with it. My intention is to just remove Ana from the situation and not cause a scene.
I see the guy rub her ass and I lose my shit and punch him. He hits the ground and he is out cold fuck I should not have done that. The whole club has gone silent and everyone is looking at me and Ana. I see EL, Taylor and Sawyer give me the you're a dumb fuck look. What Ana does not realize is that I have just claimed her and the entire room now believes she is mine.
We Grey's have a time-honored tradition that If we make a scene or kill someone for a woman in front of witnesses then she is claimed as our property and the entire universe will know it. I practically drag Ana out of the club and into my car which has not helped the situation as I know it makes her look even more claimed. While I am allowing all of this shit to sink in and how to fix it. I apologize to Ana for tonight I know she has no clue what my apology is really for but she does not need to know. She even cracks a joke about me not being a gentleman well she is not wrong there.
I play the gentlemen and escort Ana to her door and make sure she gets in safely. I head to my apartment and while I am getting my workout clothes ready I receive a text from Ana. She tries to disagree with me about accepting the tech if she was mine she would do as she is told. Then I think well now the whole of Seattle with be aware of my claim on her maybe that might help me speed things up with her.
I actually don't get a work out in as I am too busy watching Ana dance. Thank you jogging pants is all I keep thinking as I am hard painfully hard now. I need to make her mine soon.
Once I am back at my apartment my entire family are sitting in my living room. My father looks ready to beat the shit out of me my mother looks over joyed and EL and Mia are smirking at me. I am not in the mood for this at all I can't deal with questions about Ana when I wanted to come in and rub my cock while thinking of her. What a hard on killer I have walked into.
