I head back outside with Christian to his car and he opens the door for me. He already knows my address because he's picked Elliot up a few times after spending the night. We take the scenic route and he shows me all the big houses flooded with holiday lights as classical musical plays softly in the background. We get to my apartment and he walks me to the door.
"Would you like to come in?" I offer. But he politely declines.
"Can I see you tomorrow evening Anastasia?"
"Yes, I would like that and thanks again for helping me out tonight it was nice meeting you Christian"
"The pleasure was all mine Anastasia" he says as he kisses my lips and gently sucks them.
"I'll pick you up at eight, dress casual, we can go to my place and have dinner and drinks" he says sweetly and I nod.
I run upstairs and scream. Oh holy fuck he is so hot and he kisses like he's on death row or something. I don't know if I should be upset with Kate for the present exchange nightmare or to hug her for introducing me to Christian Grey and his dreamy grey eyes and sexy body oh and his delicious kissing. Umm.. Um... Umm. Now that's a man. I can't wait until tomorrow.
I fall asleep thinking about our kisses especially the one in front of everybody. It was like nobody had ever seen this Adonis of a man kiss a woman before and I'm happy it was me. I wish he were here kissing me right now.
I wake up at 10am to 2 missed texts from Kate, saying she arrived in New York and is getting on her connecting flight to Paris. I text her back quickly and wish her a safe journey. She texts back a few seconds later saying
"Ana, you better talk when I get back. I can't believe that kiss and chemistry you had with CG, damn girl" and I smile big.
"Have fun Kate, luv you".
I go into work at noon and work until 4pm, usually I would start at 8:45am but because I am sort of new my hours have been cut back during the holidays to make room for non-paid interns willing to work free full time for college credit. I understand I've been there. I can't say I'm too upset. I got a decent bonus and I get to sleep late and enjoy some extra free time. I jump into a shower and dry my hair then straighten it. I throw on my best fitted jeans and a long sleeve ribbed white top and some flats. I will borrow Kate's leather jacket for tonight, its casual but really pretty.
I wonder what we are going to do; he said he wants to have dinner at his house and drinks. Maybe he will kiss me again or even a little more. The thought makes me tingle all over. At 8pm I head out the door and he is waiting outside by an SUV, he smiles as soon as he sees me and my heart catches. He is beyond any standard of attractive in sexy fitted worn jeans a dark shirt and leather jacket, oh we match! He has on black converse and his hair is all a hot mess and sexy as fuck. I swallow hard and continue walking towards him.
He grins and pulls me into a sweet chaste kiss. "Hi" I barely manage to choke out. "Hello, Anastasia" and he opens the car door and I climb in, he follows behind me. There is a driver who looks like he's in the CIA. He all buzzed cut, handsome and has some type of earpiece on, he's all very James Bond looking.
"You smell so sweet and you hair looks lovely like this Anastasia" and I feel that ache build between my thighs, how can he do that to me? I like it though and I like him so much. I clench my thighs together and he notices and grins at me.
"Before we head to my place would you like to go have a drink or maybe see some Holiday displays?
"Yes, that sounds nice" I smile and he takes my hand and grazes his thumb over my knuckles and I feel like I want to giggle but I look out the window for a moment and smirk.
His phone rings and his tone changes quickly "Grey" he snaps.
"No chance of that, are you fucking kidding me? I don't give a shit Mike. Either it gets done tonight and on my desk by 8am or I'll find another manufacturer" and he hits end and shakes his head. Whoa, holy hell he was angry. He must be one tough boss to work for. Honestly he just scared me. He takes a breath and looks at me managing a half smile.
He gently squeezes my hand and asks if I'm feeling better from last night.
"It wasn't so bad, well except for the gift exchange" I smile and his eyes light up. Oh yes Grey I meant the kissing you part.
"So are you saying you wouldn't mind being stuck under the mistletoe with me again Anastasia?" His brow raised slightly gauging my reaction.
"That wasn't so bad" and I bite my lip. He inhales sharply and says
"If you keep biting that delectable lip Miss Steele we aren't going to make it for drinks" his look filled with desire for me and I release my lip and my breathing picks up. My heart rate is at a minimum 175 bpm. I feel it pounding through my ears, my mouth my throat, everywhere. He has a heady effect on me. I have never felt so attracted to a man in my life.
