A/N: Wow a new chapter so soon! I'm on a one week break for school and my daughter has been sick so I'm home from work and my creative juices have been flowing. Well I hope you guys like this chapter. I know some guest reviewers (I should just disable them it seems most guest reviewers are negative with out constructive critisism. If you don't like my plot line then don't read the story!) have left some concerns about Christian recently being with a sub. Okay just because he meets Ana doesn't mean he is suddently going to decide that his way of life is disgusting (their words not mine! I wouldn't mind being bent over Mr. Grey's knees myself) and change it all of a suddent. I said in the beginning this is going to be a slow build up here. Please enjoy the chapter
It had been several days since Christian had rescued Ana from one Jack Hyde. It was now Tuesday and she found herself with nothing to do. Christian had been serious when he had told her she was granted two weeks paid leave. Her friend Jose was coming up on Thursday and she was excited to see him. It seemed like ages since she'd last seen her friends. Kate would be back that weekend and she was eager to see her as well. Ana hadn't spoken to Christian since Sunday when he'd dropped her off at her apartment. She kept looking through the contract thinking there was no way she could submit to him as he desired. She wouldn't even be allowed to look at him! He'd e-mailed her last night and she hadn't gotten the nerve up to answer back yet. Checking her phone she saw there was another e-mail from the enigmatic Christian Grey.

Did you get my last e-mail? I'm available this evening to talk more in depth if you desire? I really want this to work Anastasia. Please reply soon.

Ana hesitated only a moment before hitting the reply button. She figured there was no harm in talking to him about it, although she doubted she would agree. She thought it would be better to turn him down in person then over an e-mail.
From: Anastasia Steele
Subject: Dinner
Date: 2 April 2012 13:15
To: Christian Grey
I doubt I'll be eating. What time?
Anastasia Steele
Ana was surprised when her phone made the familiar ping of an e-mail alert less than a minute later. She opened the e-mail gasping at what she read.
From: Christian Grey
Subject: Dinner
Date: 2 April 2012 13:14
To: Anastasia Steele
You will eat dinner Anastasia or I'll pull you over my knee. See you at 6:30.

Ana searched her closet for something to wear, but came up with nothing. Figuring Kate wouldn't mind if she borrowed a dress she rummaged through Kate's closet finding a suitable black number. It wasn't long before she was driving to Escala. The butterflies in her stomach were fluttering full force as she made her way up in the elevator. Christian stood waiting for her as the elevator doors opened.
"You're late Miss Steele," Christian said pointedly as he reached for her elbow leading her to the dining room.
"Sorry traffic was heavier then I would have thought. I'm only late by a few minutes," she reasoned.
"I thought we would eat first then discuss things. I know how our discussions affect your appetite," he said seeming to be laughing at her.
"Very thoughtful of you," Ana said as she sat in the chair he pulled out for her.
Ana tried her best to eat the food on her plate, but just the thought of the conversation they were going to be having unnerved her. She pushed her food around hoping to fool him, but looking up at him and the glare he was shooting her it didn't work. Slowly she took several bites hoping to placate him enough. It seemed to work as he went back to his own meal. Finally Ana could stomach no more and set her silverware down then pushed the plate away. Christian looked at her plate sighing, but choosing not press the issue. She had tried at least.
"Let's retire to the sitting room," he said as he stood from the table.
Ana followed him to the sitting room accepting his offer of some wine. Soon they were seated together on the same couch. Close enough that they could touch if either wanted, but far enough that they both seemed comfortable. Christian pulled out another copy of the contract he had given her earlier and a pen.
"I thought we could go through each section and we could discuss your concerns or questions," Christian offered.
"I… well… I came tonight to tell you that I don't think it will work," she spat out quickly, nervously.
"Ana I really want this to work and am willing to compromise with you," he explained resolved on getting her to agree.
"It's just whips, canes, chains, ropes, gagging, fisting, and controlling every aspect of my life is not something I think I would enjoy," she prattled out.
"You may be surprised at what you would like. Tell me, Anastasia, about your sexual experience," he pushed wanting to know exactly what she had done.
"I… um… I've never…" she trailed off blushing profusely.
"You mean to tell me you are a virgin?" he asked dumbfounded.
"Yes," she whispered her face heated and red. She hadn't expected to be discussing her sexual experiences or inexperience in this case.
"You mean to tell me some guy hasn't swept you off your feet yet?"
"No… I've not really dated much. Nobody has been interested," she explained still flushed.
"I highly doubt that Miss Steele," Christian bit out irritated at himself for not knowing she was a virgin.
"Are you angry with me?" she asked surprised that she cared.
"No I'm irritated with myself. I figured you were inexperienced, but never though for one moment that you were a virgin. Here I am trying to persuade you to be my submissive and you've never even had a vanilla experience before," he explained.
"Vanilla?" she squeaked out unsure of the terminology.
"It means just plain sex no bondage, no spanking, nothing too kinky," he explained.
"Oh," she said feeling dumb.
"I believe you are right Miss Steele when you say you don't believe this will work. I desperately want to try though," he smiled in a sexy way his eyes twinkling.
"Why me?" she asked really wanting to know why.
"From the moment I saw you after you wrecked into my car I've wanted to pull you over my knee," he explained.
"Oh… you said this was a recent opening? What did that mean?"
"I had a sub, but I broke it off with her," he answered nonchalantly.
"How many have you had?" she asked curious about this man's lifestyle.
"16, I've had 16 subs Ana," he answered truthfully.
"What happened to them?"
"The contracts ended for one reason or another. If for any reason you want to end it, I mean that is if you agree, then that will be the end Anastasia," he reiterated for her.
"Where did you find them?" she asked.
"There are places where one kind find people who share the same sexual interests" he tried to explain without going into too much detail.
Ana hadn't realized she drank three glasses of wine and was beginning to feel a little light headed. She didn't normally drink that much, but the discussion they were having was more than a little unnerving. Christian stood abruptly and left the room returning with a large glass of water. He handed it to Ana silently ordering her to drink with his eyes. Ana didn't feel like starting an argument so she dutifully sipped on the water.
"You've drank too much and I think this conversation is better left for when you are sober," he said pointedly to her.
"I… I'll just be going," she said as she stood a little unsteadily.
"I don't think so. You'll stay in the guest room upstairs for the night. We can talk tomorrow," he reasoned as he gently grabbed her elbow guiding her from the sitting room.
"I didn't bring any clothes," she argued.
"I'm sure I can find something for you to wear," he said hoping to quell her argument.
Ana rolled her eyes at him just as they made their way through the doorway to the guest room. Christian pulled her to him kissing her soundly.
"What did I say I would do to you if rolled your eyes at me Anastasia," her name rolling of his tongue seductively.
"Put me over your knee," she breathed out terrified, but excited at the prospect.
"That is correct," he said as he guided her over to the bed. He sat down and seemed to be waiting for her to make a decision.
"It will hurt?" she questioned uncertainly then biting her lip.
"I think you will be able to handle it," he confided then beckoned for her to come to him.
Slowly, hesitantly she stepped towards him. If she could handle this then maybe the fucked up relationship he was proposing could be doable. She closed her eyes before taking another step forward. The butterflies in her stomach were really fluttering around. Taking a deep breath she opened her eyes to see Christian looking at her heatedly. He wanted her, like this bent over his knee. No one had ever looked at her the way Christian Grey was in that moment. Letting the breath out slowly she took the final step towards him placing her hand in his outstretched hand. Christian's grin in that moment made Ana's breath catch in her throat. He looked pleased and giddy with her compliance of his request.
Slowly Christian pulled her over his lap. He rubbed his hand over her ass before lifting it then bringing it down deftly. Ana gasped at the first impact and was surprised when it didn't hurt all that much. "Normally your ass would be bare, but since you are new to this we will go slow," he explained before landing another smack. It wasn't long before his hand was raining blow after blow. Ana gasped with each blow, but was able to with stand the pain. Finally he stopped spanking her and began to rub her ass slowly. He could feel the warmth radiating through her clothes. After several minutes he helped her up. She sat next to him on the bed silent.
"Not so bad?" he asked.
"No" she squeaked out.
"I want you Ana, right now, damned the contract," he confessed as he brought her into a heated kiss.
TBC…
A/N: Sorry about the cliff hanger, but I thought it was appropriate and I'll try to get the next chapter up before the end of the weekend.
