Hello fellow readers - I did some minor changes in the conversation between Ana and Christian after seeing the Playroom.

Hi all dear readers,
I have got pm's and reviews pertaining Ana's v card. SO a little clarification. ANa's reply was such because Kate wad asking if CG is a rapist. Ana also explained why her answer was such. Also there was another sentence saying Ana can leave CG's apartment if she is not comfortable. SO folks, Ana is not mad too simply loose it but in this story, she is over curious. That is what i am trying to potray

Guest Reviewer - JN - Thank you for giving me the push to write this chapter. I hope you will enjoy this chapter.

All Reviewers - Thank you for the reviews and support. Love you guys.

The message that I dreaded finally arrived on Friday noon. Kate has left to Barbados yesterday and I manage to pack all my books. It is just after my lunch when Christian's message arrived.

Hi. I will be picking you up at 5 tomorrow evening. We will have dinner and discuss the rest. You are free to leave if you are not comfortable.

I will be ready.

I quickly send the reply. Now, what is his plan? As I continue pondering about what might take place, my phone rings. It's my aunt. Has she heard that I am going to meet Christian tomorrow?

'Hello.'

'Are you crazy?' she yells, but I am smart enough to move the phone away from my ears before she starts yelling.

'No. Why?'

'Why are you coming to Seattle tomorrow, to Mr. Grey's house of all places?' she is still yelling. This is no no good.

'I need to discuss about something with him.' I reply as calm as possible.

'Do you have any idea what on earth you are getting yourself into?'

'Aunt Gail, I am a big girl. I know what I am doing. Please don't worry about me.' I try to reason with her.

'If you know what I know, then you won't be so relaxed! Jason is very angry, young lady.' That is the point. I don't know what they know. So now I am in a quest to find out what they know.

'Could both of you just trust me. I know what I am doing.'

'Fine!' click. Huh, she hung up on me. Haih, I am going to have two big enemies by the time I find out Christian Grey's secret. I bet before end of the day, I am going to get another ear full from Jason. After a relaxing day at work, I made a simple sandwich for dinner. After dinner, I shower and slip under my quilt. Just as I drift to sleep, my phone rings. Just ad my guess, it is Jason.

'You young lady! Are you out of your mind? What hell are you thinking agreeing to come to Escala?' At least he was not yelling as loud as Aunt Gail.

'My answer is the same as I gave Gail. Both of you are warning me but I don't know what I should stay away from. So now, I am going to find out myself. Technically, you guys pressed the 'intuition' button.' I reason with Jason.

'I am still calm just because you could leave this place when you wish.'

'So Mr. Grey have told you about the arrangement?'

'I know his schedule because; I am his damn personal security. So Ana, make sure you leave before he lays his finger on you!'

'Thank you for your concern, I am a big girl and I know what I am doing. Trust me.'

'Annie, I just want you to be safe.'

'I will. Please tell Gail that I will be fine.'

'She is very angry with you.'

'I know, she hung up on me.'

'You are one stubborn girl.'

'Thanks. And trust me please.'

'Alright Annie.'

Phew. That went smoother then with Aunt Gail.

Sharp 4.45, I am all ready waiting for Mr. Grey. I am wearing my favorite blue jeans and a green blouse. I am about to uncover the secrets behind those hypnotizing gray eyes. Sharp 5, my door bell rings. When i open, Christian leaning against the door wearing a black jeans and a white shirt, playing with the keys.

'Ready Ms. Steele?'

'Yes.'

We drove to downtown and the car stops at a building.

'I thought we are going to your place?'

'Yes. We are going to fly there.'

The elevator pings open.

'Fly?'

'Yes.'

We reached the third floor and a helicopter is rotating its blade slowly. Jason is talking to someone. Few minutes later, he turns and immediately his face strains. He wears his sunglasses and walk towards us.

'Mr. Grey, Charlie tango is ready. Have a safe flight.' he nods towards me and walks away. I couldn't gauge his expression as it was emotionless. Christian helps me into the helicopter and walks around to the pilot seat. He leans over to help me with the safety belt. He was very efficient with it. I knew that he owns a jet, but not a helicopter. I guess my biography about him was incomplete. It might just be able to add few more pages after tonight.

He hands me a huge ear piece and after I put it on, the deafening sound of the rotating blades are muffled.

'Anastasia, are you alright?'

'Yes.'

'I am going to go through the takeoff procedure.'

He started reporting something and there was reply saying we are clear to fly.

'Have you flew a helicopter before?'

'Are you worried Anastasia?'

'No. are you sure you are qualified to fly this?'

'Of course I am. I have been flying helicopter for the last six years.'

'Alright.'

'Why?'

'I just need to make sure that I won't die due to a crash.' Christian laughs and it is a heartfelt laugh.

'You are perfectly safe with me. I will never bring any harm to you. Well, yet.'

Yet? Will he harm me? Am I prepared to be heartbroken? I must uncover what secrets he has.

'You are quiet.'

'I am admiring the view.'

'We are approaching Seattle. You can see space needle from here. He points. It is almost dusk, the view is simply breathtaking. The sun is setting and the sky is orange with a dash of red.

'We are going to land shortly.'

Where? I can't see any airfield. We are heading towards the city center.

'There is a helipad at the building I live.'

'Oh!'

It was a very smooth landing. I didn't feel the helicopter hitting the ground. After unbuckling, Christian helps me out of the helicopter and we ducked towards the door. We enter the elevator and I could feel some energy drawing me towards Christian. He is like a magnet attracting every cell in my body towards him. My trance broke after the elevator door opens. We step into a private foyer and we enter the apartment. I look around assessing and to me, it looks more like a sky bungalow.

'Where is Aunt Gail?' I ask dropping my purse on the couch.

'I am not sure. It is her off day, so I don't keep track.' Christian replies casually. To me it looked like he is used to have girls around.

'So what do you want to show me?'

'Patients Ms Steele. Can we have dinner first?'

'What do you have?'

He opens the fridge and pulls out a bowl of mac and cheese in the kitchen.

'You eat that for dinner? Come; let me see what I can cook.'

'Don't trouble yourself.'

I know aunt Gail loves to cook and his groceries should be well stocked. I started rummaging through the sleek kitchen and my guess was right. There is spaghetti and Thai sauces with some vegetables. I decided to make stir fry spaghetti.

'Okay, I am going to cook something.' I announced and he smiles and jumps on the stool.

'And I will watch.'

Within 20 minutes, it is all prepared and we are sitting opposite each other at the breakfast bar. Christian started eating and he seems to be a little worried.

'This is good, Anastasia.'

'Thank you.' Christian polishes his food and waited for me to finish mine. When I am done, he takes my plate.

'I will do it. You cooked, I clean.'

'Do you know how to clean?' I smirk.

'Don't smirk at me Ms Steele.' I turned and roll my eyes.

'Don't roll your eyes either!' he says harsher.

Anastasia seem very relaxed. She might not freak out and run. If Anastasia agrees, then I will enjoy good cooking even on weekends. High hopes grey. Good luck.

'So, what is it that you wanted to show me?' she asks me after I am done with the dishes. I walk her to my study.

'Sit' I say and walk to my filing cabinet to pull out the NDA for Anastasia. After exhaling long and hard, I walk towards Anastasia who is admiring the view of Seattle.

'Here I need you sign this NDA'

She looks up and starts laughing.

'You really think I am going to go out there and expose you?' and she rolls her eyes. You could easily fuck that cute mouth of hers but I just don't want to scare her off, yet.

'Anastasia, you have to understand something. I am a very wealthy man. I can't take any risk.'

'Fine. Whatever. Where do I sign' she says picking up the pen beside the document.

'Aren't you going to read?'

'Christian, you have to understand something. I am a very private person. I have enough people invading my privacy. I don't need to go out there and shout about what I am doing.' she says, mocking my voice and sentence. My palms are already twitching.

'Fine. Sign the last page, after you sign, you aren't allowed to speak about what happens between us or ...' but she raises her hand stopping me,

'I know what a damn NDA is.'

Phew.. Another remark like that, I am taking her over my knees whether she likes it or not. After filing the signed copy of the NDA, I turn towards her. First, I want to kiss those sweet lips of hers. Even if she runs after seeing my playroom, I will still be happy that, at least I managed to kiss her. Maybe my kiss might affect her for her to try what I have to offer.

'You have been testing my patients Ms Steele. Do you realize that you were misbehaving?' She looks small in front of me but not timid.

'So what are you going to do about it Mr. Grey? Spank me.' She counters. She is one damn bold woman.

'I might, but before that, I want to kiss that smart mouth of yours.' without giving her time to react, I hold her wrist behind her and pull her long brown hair so her lips will rise to meet mine. I kissed her hard and deep sucking her tongue perfectly trapping her against my desk.

'Do you know how sweet you taste Anastasia?' I ask her after breaking the kiss.

'I don't know because I can't kiss myself. Now do you mind releasing me?'

I smirk and release her and she quickly straightens up. I love her spontaneous remarks, which usually calls for a punishment but I am actually enjoying her remarks. What the hell is wrong with you Grey!

'Now stop procrastinating and show me what you want to show?'

I walk out of my study and take her to the second floor. I stop at the white door which holds my secrets, my other life, my other face, my dominancy.

'Anastasia, I want you to keep an open mind.'

'I am keeping my mind open since I step into your car. So just open the damn door.' I can see her irritation on her face. I open the door with my key and step aside, allowing her to walk in. She did not shout, didn't run but calmly walks around. Five fucking minutes of silence felt like eternity.

'Say something, Anastasia' I whisper softly.

'So you are a dominant?' She ask without a trace of fear.

'Yes.'

'And you are looking for a submissive?'

'Anastasia..'

'Christian, I am glad that you are very frank with your preference. But there is something that you must know. I am a virgin, and I have never had a relationship with a man before. I know what BDSM is but I am not into it. I want a normal relationship.'

Virgin? How can she be a virgin?

'You want hearts and flowers?' I whisper. She nods but still looking into my eyes. There is some kind of boldness but a dash of love and tender in the gaze. I don't know how to love. I don't know how to give hearts and flowers.

'Ana, i don't..' but she raises her hand stopping me. It is a gesture which goes well with her. She looks like she knows what she wants.

'Christian, I want to be loved, not hit.'

'Anastasia, there is a fine line between pain and pleasure. If you agree with my proposal, i will show you what pleasure is.' I have to try to reason with her. See what I see. Get her to agree.

'But I won't be able to show the world that I am with you.' She says. A single tear appeared but she brushed it away.

'Anastasia, you will only belong to me. I will accompany you shopping if that is what you want.' I will compromise for Anastasia. The electrical pull, the attraction, the feeling that I know her for my entire life is so strong. I want her and I can't loose her.

'But it will be more of an obligation.'

'It is my duty to keep you happy.'

'What kind of happiness can a lady get from accepting pain.' He voice is slightly louder.

'Anastasia, could you please try it.'

'No Mr. Grey. I think this time you chose the wrong girl.'

'Ana, I don't know how to be in a relationship.' I admit.

'You never had a girlfriend before?' She whispers

What kind of sick twisted man is he? He never had a girlfriend.

'You have some serious shit to sort out. I have given you my answer. Please send me back.'

'Anastasia, could you please at least read the contract?'

'You have a bloody contract?'

'Anastasia, it will def..'

I just can't listen anymore of this nonsense. I held up my hand. A relationship based on a damn contract is like me selling myself to him.

'I want to leave. I can assure you, your secrets are safe with me. I won't utter a single word to any soul.'

'Anastasia.. I like you. I want us to work.' Christian says and step closer. Close enough for this breath to blow on my face. Close enough for his woody masculine scent to invade my nostrils. Close enough for me to run my fingers through his crowning copper glory.

'I would also like us to work. But not in this term.' I push him away, with my palms against his chest. His eyes widen in fear.

I walk to the main big room where my bag is. I pick it up and turn around; Christian is walking towards me looking defeated.

'It is very late. Why not, you leave tomorrow.

His eyes look hopeful.

Any guess what she will do?
