Bound To You

Chapter 4 – New Owner
Sorry the update took longer than expected… I had some important assignments that I had to complete. A reviewer asked if I plan to continue this story?! : Heck yeah, it is fun to write. I know I'm not the best writer but practice will help me get better so thank you for your support!

Thank you for all the follows, favorites, and reviews!

Ana POV

"Ana's no longer working here as of this evening. She is mine and there is no way she will be working here every night for other Dom's to gawk at." He states in his deep authoritative tone.

I want to respond because this isn't fair. I want to be able to keep my job. It will be boring just there at his place with nothing to do all day and night. I open my mouth to speak up and he gives me a chilly glare. Whatever bravery I had a minute ago has vanished with one look by my new owner. I still haven't been able to call him Master like he wished, so I've stuck to Sir. Master just sounds harsh. He has made his point and looks to be reading through my papers that Zane gave him.

Now that I'm dressed in clothes, my black jeans and teal blouse. I take off his suit jacket to give it back to him even though I've grown fond of the scent attached to it. I inhale his clean, wholesome scent. He smells of freshly laundered linen and some expensive body wash. He slips the jacket back around me and it gives me the chills, I hate my body's reaction to him. "Keep the jacket on Miss Steele it is a little chilly outside tonight."

I look up at him, "Thank you Sir"

He nods and continues to read the document with interest. I just don't understand why he would need to pay for a sex slaves. With his looks alone there would be women lined up waiting for the chance to be there at his mercy ready to please him.

I can't help but study his stunning features until I force myself to look away. It isn't fair to the rest of us normal folks in this world to be that perfect looking. He looks like he should be gracing the cover of a hot Magazine or the big screen. However he looks to be more of a business man though. Christian Grey, that name sounds so familiar though. I know I've heard it before. Even his name screams sex appeal. I can feel my face heating up. "Ana get a grip; don't get sucked into his beauty. He is the enemy. This man is going to use me for his sick personal needs which probably include torturing me in his dirty basement or dungeon." I think to myself as the right part of my brain finally makes an appearance.

"Miss Steele, follow me. We are leaving now." He interrupts my thoughts looking his calm and in control self, I feel like I'm ready to lose my mind. I keep wondering if I'm going to end up chained up in some dirty basement/dungeon. What if this man is married? OMG I didn't think this through. Stop this Ana, think of Lizzy, little Caleb, and baby Gracie! You can do this!

He sighs, "Anastasia, you are safe. I have no intentions of hurting you."

He puts his arm on the small of my back guiding me to exit the room and as soon as it makes contact I feel a charge between us. I wonder if he felt that too. I feel my heart beat speed up as we make our way outside. Once we are out of the club there is a black SUV parked in front. I see a rather tall built looking man with a buzz cut in a black suit open the vehicle door, "Mr. Grey, Ma'am, good evening". He states looking reserved.

I reply as Mr. Grey urges me to get in first, "Good evening to you too Sir." I smile and he gives a slight smile. He must be military, he reminds me of Ray. Oh how much I miss my daddy.

"Please call me Taylor ma'am."

"Thank you Taylor, please call me Ana." Taylor is automatically someone I feel like I can trust. He closes the door without responding and I look over to my new owner, he doesn't look too pleased. And even worse than that he looks rather pissed off.

"Miss Steele, I would appreciate it if you didn't flirt with my staff. I don't appreciate it." He looks at me sternly.

"Ummm Sir" I'm about to reply stating that I was just trying to be polite but I don't know if he would consider that being disrespectful or talking back. This whole situation is starting to make me feel like a teenager again.

I decide to choose a different approach, "I'm sorry Sir that really wasn't my intention at all."

"I accept your apology." he replies not looking at me, instead he is typing into his expensive newer iPhone. I wonder if I would be able to get my cell phone in my bag so I can text Kate an excuse for nothing coming home tonight. What if he doesn't want me using my phone when he is with me, or at all?

"Taylor, take us to Escala." He barks his order to Taylor.

Taylor responds with a nod.

I need to stop by my place because there are some things I really need. I got to bite the bullet and ask him, "Mr. Grey could we please stop by my apartment because I need to get some things of mine?"

He sighs, "Anastasia, anything you could possible need to get I will just buy it for you."

God he is so frustrating, "uhh Sir, I need my medication and some personal things I want to have with me."

"Did you just roll your eyes at me? Do it again and I will take you over my knee." He threatens and at first I think he is playing but the look in his eyes tells me that he is very serious. Oh wow I haven't ever been spanked. Before I can apologize he interrupts me, "In your medical file there is no mention of any illness or a medication you are on."

"It is my birth control pill Sir, I have been on it since I was a teenager obviously it wasn't because I was sexually active. But I've always had a difficult menstrual cycle and the pill was the only thing to help with it." I explain and he just listens.

"Fine, we will stop by your place." He gives Taylor my address and for a second I wonder how he had my address but I remember that it is on my paperwork.

"Thank you Sir, I know you said we would work out the details when we discuss it when we get back to your place. But I need to know what to tell my roommate she is going to want an explanation of why I'm moving out and where I am moving to?" I ask nervously biting my bottom lip.

"Stop biting your bottom lip Anastasia, you have signed a NDA so you can never disclose any of the details of our arrangement but you will tell your family and friends that you have taken a live-in position as a house keeper and personal cook for me."

"Okay, I can do that." I reply grateful that he really has thought about this. It makes it easier for me. I wonder if I will be cooking and cleaning up his place, well with the amount he paid for me that would make sense. I would take that job any day over being locked up into some sex slave dungeon.

When we arrive at my place he exits the SUV with me, oh crap I didn't think he would actually come inside with me. This is going to make things so much weirder when I explain the moving out for six months, he will be there to witness the famous Kathrine Kavanagh inquisition. Nervously I put my key through the keyhole unlocking the door. I take a deep breath and tell myself just to pretend he isn't here.

Once we enter I see Kate sitting on the sofa watching a movie.

Kate asks, "Ana! I thought you were working late tonight?" and before I can respond she continues she obviously can't see Mr. Grey behind me. She hits the button on the remote to turn on the lights. "You can watch movies with me now!"

The lights are now on and I see the look of shock on my best friend's face. I finally find my voice, "Umm I actually have a new job and it starts tonight. I'm going to be a live in house keeper and cook for Mr. Grey here."

Kate's face immediately turns grave, "Mr. Grey, I didn't think I would have the pleasure of seeing you again." She addresses him sarcastically with such Distain.

Shocked I ask, "You two know each other?"

"Christian Grey is the pompous jerk who kicked me out of his office when I was there to interview him last year for the school newspaper. Remember he ruined my front page article. You can't work for him Ana!" She almost shouts.

He responds, "Well I don't think that is reasonable, the interview would have been fine if the first question you inquired about was my sexual orientation."

"Oh come on it was a legitimate question. You have never been photographed with a woman so it makes perfect sense that you would be gay." She retorts, I can help but dissolve into a fit of giggles at this argument going down in my living. If she only knew the plans he has for me, she would be questioning if he is crazy not gay.

"Something funny Miss Steele?" He asks not looking to upset by my outburst of laughs.

"No Mr. Grey, Kate we will talk about this later. I just needed to grab a few things." I reply.

"Ana, I don't get why you have to move in. Can't you just go in early in the morning and leave during the evening." She replies shaking her head.

"Kate, it will just be for 6 months and please don't worry, I will still pay my portion of the rent." I reply

"Ana I don't give a crap about the money. I can afford this place on my own. I just worry about you." She looks genuinely concerned for me.

Christian steps in, "There is nothing to be concerned about, everything will be fine. This is a great opportunity for your friend."

"Okay Ana, just remember if things don't work out there you are always welcome back here. Anytime." Kate looks at me still concerned but conceding for now. I know I will hear an earful tomorrow.

I head into my room and collect some clothing, my pills, my cell phone charger, a photo book I made with pictures of my family and friends, and a couple of my favorite books. I grab my car keys and take one last look of my room. A single tear rolls down my cheek as I bid my safe place goodbye.

Christian offers to take my bag for me and I agree thanking him.

"Sir may I drive my car back to your place?" I ask hoping I will be able to bring Wanda with me.

"Miss Steele, you will have a CPO that will drive you around to anywhere you need to be. Of course anywhere you wish to go would need to first be approved by me." He demands.

"What is a CPO?" I frown as I ask.

"Close Protection Operative" He answers as Taylor grabs my stuff to put in the back of the SUV.

"umm Is that really necessary?" I ask.

"Yes, it is non-negotiable." He replies stoically.

We get in the car and the drive back to his place is awkward. I have no clue why he has purchased me. I wonder if he is even attracted to me. I feel like he doesn't even like me. He is so cold and distant but then again he is my owner and not my boyfriend so maybe this is how it is supposed to be.

He finally breaks the awkward silence, "Are you hungry Miss Steele?"

"No Sir." I don't know if I can stomach eating right now. I'm too nervous.

"When was the last time you've had something to eat?" he asks

I look down praying he doesn't have some kind of weird food fetish. "I had a banana and a yogurt this morning Sir." I answer looking down.

"Look at me Anastasia when I'm talking to you." He demands.

I look up and meet his dark eyes oh no he is angry with me. "I was too nervous and couldn't bring myself to eat anything Sir." The look in his eyes definitely gives me the chills; he for sure has an issue with food.

"This will not do, you will not do that again. You aren't allowed to skip any meals again. Do you understand me?!" He stresses forcibly.

"Yes Sir." I reply feeling myself drifting away.

What do you think so far? Christian may seem a little harsh right now but they are just getting acquainted…. Let me know if you have any suggestions? Already started the next chapter and it is going to have some fun drama so I can't wait to finish that one!

Please review! Love to hear what you think!
