Chapter 5

Hmm, Mistletoe? I am jolted from my stare and look towards the dining room table. Everyone is staring at us under the archway as Mia stands and says

" My darling brother you and Ana are under the mistletoe" and we both look up and my heart catches in my throat.

"I think that means you too have to kiss her, hello" she says sarcastically and all eyes are suddenly on us. Christian looks down at me, eyeing me warily. He does not look too pleased. My hands are now shaking and I want to run for my life.

I smile nervously at him and whisper "It's okay, you don't have to do it if you don't want to" and he looks at me surprised.

"What you don't want me to kiss you?" he whispers back in a velvety smooth voice

"Um, uh, no it's not that it's just I don't want to put you on the spot Mr. Grey I'm so sorry" I barely whisper as my hands are trembling now.

I try to stop them but I can't and he notices. He takes my shaky hands and says

"Relax Miss Steele" and we both look at everyone staring at us waiting anxiously. Mia's friends look angry and everybody else is looking at us in anticipation, crap what are they expecting a full make out session? I'm sure it will be a peck on the cheek. I just want to get it over with already.

He looks at me again and grins then places one hand on my hip and the other on my jaw and I stop breathing, he bends down and slowly his lips meet mine placing a soft sensual kiss that lingers. Oh whoa! He doesn't stop though he kisses me again this time passionately and my lips part as I try to breathe and he sticks his tongue in my mouth and traces his hand down my jawline to my neck and back up gripping my hair gently. For a moment I forget we have and audience as I get lost in a deep delicious kiss with him our tongues circling each other sensually.

My eyes close as chills run through my body from head to toe and he pulls me closer and moans into my mouth. He places a few more soft kisses on my lips and I open my eyes feeling dizzy. He raises his eyebrows at me and l can't move. I'm totally frozen in place as I watch everyone in the room gasp. Kate's mouth has popped opened and Elliot is grinning from ear to ear and everyone else is in shock I think, at least I know I am. He traces his finger across my bottom lip and all the muscles below my waist clench tightly together with desire for him.

He takes my hand completely unfazed by everyone and walks me back to my seat. All eyes are on me and I take a huge gulp of wine and let out a deep breath smiling nervously at everyone trying to be casual about what just happened. That was no ordinary mistletoe kiss that was an "I want to rip your clothes off and fuck you senseless kiss". The kind of kiss you read about in racy novels. He grazes his hand over my knuckles once under the table and I gasp a little.

Oh I like him so much, that kiss had me seeing stars. Christian doesn't say much to me for the next half hour as everyone makes their way into a huge family room with a magnificent fireplace. I try to make myself invisible as the night progresses, I watch him out of the corner of my eye and can barely keep a thought together without feeling his lips on mine. Every once in a while I catch him glance at me but quickly look away.

Ok I can't make too much of this. Maybe it was just to put on a show for his family. Kate said she thought he might be gay and maybe he was trying to dissuade them. He could have just given me a simple kiss though but he stuck his delicious tongue in my mouth and kissed me like his life depended on it. I know he enjoyed it as much as me. I heard him moan; no way he faked it no way.
