Christian POV
The words echoed in my head, and I couldn't believe that she had just said that. The last time we were in the playroom, I had really hurt her. "Let's go," I spoke, and helped her in the car. Taylor had searched the playroom and found two wireless cameras, but nothing more. I knew that there was no way that they could get more videos. I turned on the music classical music floated through the car. My mind wandered towards the conversation that we had at dinner. I couldn't have been happier that she was talking to me, but I wished that she would let the Elena subject drop. My eyes darted over to Ana, and smirked slight at her at the ideas that I had with her in the playroom. "You're sure about this, Anastasia?" I didn't want to pressure her into anything.
"Yes, Christian," Ana's beautiful blue eyes mine, and there was a confidence that I had never seen them before. "I want this." She whispered softly, and looked towards the window.
We didn't say anything more but as the music floated through the car, and I finally pulled up and got out of the car. The paparazzi stood waiting for the shots and began to throw questions at us. I tried my best to shield Anastasia from the cameras as we made our way to into my home. "Come," I held out my hand, as we wandered into the playroom. I hadn't been back in here since I hurt her. "You said you trust me?" I raised an eyebrow, and she responded with a nod. "Strip down to your panties." I ordered.
Anastasia raised an eyebrow but thankfully did what she was told. Slowly, almost too slowly she slid the dress off her body revealing a lacy black bra and lacy panties. "Someone did some shopping," I whispered blowing into her ear, going behind her to braid her hair. I cleared my throat realizing she was still in her bra. She slowly unhooked her bra and let it slip on the floor.
"You're still dressed." Ana whispered as I finished braiding her hair. There was a hint of nervousness filled her voice. Normally I didn't let her talk in the playroom, but that was a sub rule.
I smirked stepping back in front of her, and looked at her body. I reached up unbuttoning my shirt, but could feel my cock already rock hard from just looking at her. I smirked and held up a new tie that I had gotten for my birthday from a client. "To the bed, Ms. Steele." I orders as my pants stayed on but bulged in one area.
Ana walked to the bed, but not before shaking her ass more than normal. She laid on the bed with eyebrow raised. "One day I hope that I can touch you." She whispered and a hint of sadness filled her voice.
"Baby steps," I gestured for her to raise her hands, and this time I ran the tie through the bedpost before wrapping it around her hands. I smirked once I finished the knot. "Now you trust me, correct?" I wanted to make sure that she was sure about this.
"With my life, Mr. Grey. I want you in ways that I can't even explain."
The words drove me crazy and I reached down gently kissing and sucking on her neck. I smirked and made my way down to her breast. I took one into my mouth sucking on her nipple. My hand reached up and began to tug on the other one.
Ana moaned, and arched her back slightly offering me more of her breast. I switched to the other one giving it the same attention that I had the other one. I finished and leaned over biting the edge of her boob until a marking of a hickey appeared. "Mine!" I growled.
"Yours!" She moaned softly as I kissed down her stomach. "Always yours."
Before I did anything else I reached down unbuttoning my pants and pushed them off. I was left in dark grey boxers. I leaned down and slowly pushed down her panties. I leaned down running my tongue across her clit, which caused her to moan loud. "You're always read for me, Anastasia." It made it so much sexier knowing she was so attracted to me. I slipped two fingers in her and began to slip them in and out. I felt her hips buckle towards me wanting more so increased my speed. I groaned and felt her walls begin to contract around me.
"Christian!" She moaned my name, and I watched her eyes as she rode out her orgasm. I ran my thump across her clit which caused her to moan again.
I thought about using toys, but the way that my cock was throbbing meant that it required my attention right now. I reached over to the drawer and pulled out a condom. I ripped the condom open and pushed down my boxers and pulled the condom up. In one swift move I entered her, and groaned at how tight she was.
Ana leaned her head back, and arched her back offering me more. I began to thrust as I balanced myself on the headboard. With every thrust I heard Anastasia moan louder. I groaned not sure how much longer I could keep this going. "Come for me, Anastasia." I growled, and if on cue her walls contracted around my member.
"Oh god!" She screamed and rode out her orgasm. As she came so did I and groaned as I fell a little bit onto her. I sat up and pulled off the used condom and tossed in the trash. I leaned up and untied the tie letting Ana free.
I struggled to catch my breath as I laid on the soft bed next to her. "Fuck," I breathed out, and looked over at her. I smirked. "You're so fucking beautiful."
Ana blushed and laid on the bed and looked over at me. "You're fucking handsome." She leaned herself on her elbow. "It's nice." She looked over at me. "Tell me about your day?" She asked.
"About my day?" The idea of laying here in my playroom, and looking at this woman who I just fucked and she wants to know about my day? It made start to laugh a little. I rolled over to face her, and ran a hand through her hair. "Why?" I asked, I was just used to fucking women not doing the pillow talk.
"Because I care," she said softly, and grinned at me. "Baby relationship steps right? Pillow talk is a baby step, Christian."
I sighed softly and realized that she was right. "Work was a fucking shit storm, I can handle it, of course." I wiggled my eyebrow, which made her giggle. It made me smile at her. "I love that sound. I wish I could do that more." I spoke and gently kissed her and continued on with my story. "I spent some of my day looking at the art gallery security footage, and I had thought that I found something."
"What was that?" Ana asked, and played with the soft sheets.
"I thought that Elena had been the one that was there, but when I went to see her..." I didn't get to finish my sentence.
"You went to see Elena?!" The words came out in a harsh tone. "Was she the one that sent those videos?" She was sitting up on the bed now, arms crossed across her chest.
"No she wasn't!" I snapped out, not sure why she was so mad at me. "I went to clear this up before dinner so I could enjoy your my dinner with you, Ana."
"I see," she growls and stood up gathering her clothes. "So you just go running off to Elena and then come back to fuck me?" She shook her head, and pulled up her panties. "You know how I feel about her." She pulled the braid out and threw the hair tie on the floor. "I feel so stupid."
I watched as Ana prepared to leave and jumped up onto my feet. "It wasn't like that!" I growled, but that didn't seem to phase her as she continued getting dressed heading for the door. I reached out and grabbed her arm. "Stop!" My tone came out much harsher than I planned, but I couldn't let her leave again. "Just listen to me for a moment." I hissed. Fuck, fuck, fuck! "Elena's my friend who I don't love! I love you, Ana. I'm in love with Anastasia Rose Steele!" I ran a hand down her face.
The angry fades from her face, but is replaced by hurt. She gently touched my arm as I let go of her arm. "I love you too, Christian Grey." She sighed and sat down on the bed. "I don't like that you still talk to her. What if I had said that I had spent my time before dinner with Jose?"
"That's different," I began, as my tone was much softer than before. "Jose tried to take advantage of you while you were drunk." I crossed my arms and sat down next to her.
"It's not different." She whispered, looking down at the floor. "She took advantage of a teen boy. What if I had the same past as you, and someone did that to me?" She asked, and the thought made a chill run down my back. "It wouldn't be okay. She may have helped you in your eyes, but she hurt you." She kicked at the floor. "I'm sorry, but I don't like her. I won't, and I wish that you would tell your family about her."
I pulled her close to me, and smiled gently. It was the best that I could offer her. "Stay," it wasn't a question, but I knew at this rate I had no right to demand that of her. "Baby steps, I'll think about it, okay?" It was the best that I could offer her. I sighed softly, and realized that I was going to have to learn how to compromise, and it was going be a long fucking time for me to do that. I ran a hand through her hair. "Let's sleep, baby, you look exhausted."
She nodded her head and headed towards the door with me. Her eyes widened as she realized that I had no plans to put back on my clothes. I smirked as it seemed to embarrass her, as if the staff would know that we just had mind blowing sex. I lead her to the bedroom, and walked over to the draw offering her one my shirts to sleep in.
"Thank you." She took the shirt and changed into it. She walked over to the bed. "I guess you're breaking all the rules now?" She spoke mocking.
"I am, but I'm Christian grey I make the fucking rules." I pulled her into the bed with me. "Go to be, Anastasia." I ordered and closed my eyes. Knowing that the dreams shouldn't come if I slept with her.
"Yes, sir!" She replied just as mocking and even managed to give me a little salute.
Anastasia POV
It had been an emotional exhausting couple of days. I don't even remember falling asleep, but I slept well and it felt peaceful. I awoke in the morning with Christian still holding onto me. I opened my eyes and blinked at the alarm clock, and my heart began to best faster 10:15 A.M. "Oh no!" I muttered jumping out of bed waking Christian. "Late," I mumbled to myself and pulled on my clothes. "God, I'm so late."
"You know if worked for me, I wouldn't mind you being late." Christian spoke from the bed, and raised an eyebrow. "Dating the boss could be a pretty good perk." He yawned and looked at the clock. "Come back to bed, and we'll both be irresponsible people."
I sighed softly as I ran a hand through my hair trying to brush it with my fingers. "Some of us have to work for living, Christian!" I called and walked into his bathroom. I quickly grabbed his toothbrush and brushed my teeth. I ran some water over my face and walked back into the bedroom. "I would love to stay in bed with you, but I don't want to get fired."
He sighed softly once he realized that he wasn't going to be able to convince me of anything. He rose from his bed, and tossed on a pair of blue jeans and black t-shirt that managed to highlight his muscles. "Come on, working girl, I'll drive you to work." He teased, and I was slightly at how good he looked, and I was clear that I had overslept.
On the way to work Christian and talked about what I'm doing at work, and how much playing Hooke would. Thought I did have to explain to Christian that I valued my paycheck since I didn't want him to pay for everything. As we pulled up to my work, and I jumped out of the car I gave him a quick kiss. "By the way I used your toothbrush this morning." I laughed as the surprise flashed across his face.
I jumped out the car and headed into work. I couldn't believe that I had not even been there a month and I was already showing up to work an hour late. I sat down at my desk and started to work right away, my eyes meet any angry Jake Hyde, but he didn't say much. After a few hours of working I leaned back and stuffed my hands into my pocket only to find that Christian had managed to somehow slip in a blackberry into my pants pocket. I rolled my eyes, and flipped through the blackberry to find that Christian had already set it to my email.

I read the email and smiled. I continued to work for several more hours until almost the end of the day. "Ana?" Jack's harsh voice called from the office, and I glanced around as everyone was preparing to leave. "We need to have a word now!" He snapped out, and waited impatiently for me.
"I'll be right there!" I called back, and stuffed the phone into my pocket. My hands shook as I walked into his office, and didn't know what he wanted to talk about. I had been a little nervous. I shut the door behind myself, and prepared for the worst.
