I was running late and I knew my current Client wouldn't be kind enough to let it slide. I had to get Elizabeth to the babysitters first and foremost. Once I had dropped her off I took the bus to Ally's club. Apparently this guy wanting a new sub was a big deal. His name was Mr. Grey and he was the one guy every sub wanted. He was wealthy and powerful beyond words is what Ally said to me last night when the offer came up. I wanted this more than anything because I knew he would pay well and my bills were catching up to me. I was worried about Elizabeth and I being out on the streets. I was also worried about this new deal because Ally said there was a catch but Mr. Grey would have to explain.

Walking up to the club doors I took a deep breath before going inside. I was wearing a red fitted shirt with my best black jeans and flats. It wasn't much but it was all I had. The club provided the outfits for each Submissive during her scenes. My actual clothes were garbage I got from the Salvation Army. It would have to do. I mean after all this was the worst part of Detroit what was Mr. Grey expecting a model?

Spotting Ally at the bar with a tall man I headed straight towards her. With open arms and a wide smile Ally called out to me

" Anastasia ! Nice you finally showed up how dare you keep Mr. Grey waiting."

I winced as Ally tightly grabbed my arms. I knew how upset she would be as this is her biggest client but what could I do I was a mother first.

"I'm sorry Mr. grey I didn't mean to keep you waiting."

I whispered while staring at the floor. I knew men like him would never allow me to look them in the eyes. It was the one thing I hated the most. It made me feel like a peasant. Like I was nothing more than their property and that's exactly what I was to these people. Property. I wasn't a human with feelings. I was a sex machine that asked how high when they said jump.

"Let's not make this a habit Ms. Steele. I have left the conditions of my contract with Alison as I must be going now. We will have our first scene tonight. I hope you will be prepared."

His cold voice sent shivers down my spine. I made the mistake of looking up and saw how lifeless his eyes were. You can tell what kind of life a person has had just by staring them in the face. The eyes were the windows to the soul. Quickly looking back towards my feet I nodded my consent as Mr. Grey left the club.

Six hours later I was in a private room waiting on my knees for Mr. Grey . I had a black leather two piece on with my hair done in one braid. Apparently this was how I was to be when ever Mr. Grey requested my services. Ally warned me about him and frankly I was scared. He was known to lash out on his subs. He was a feared but wanted man. I hoped I could handle him. I have been a sub for 6 months and haven't had anything more severe than 5 lashes to my back. According to Ally Mr. Grey's needs were far more extensive than I was used too. My heart beat began to race as I heard footsteps near the door. He was here and I didn't want to upset him. Making sure to keep my head down and my hands on my thighs I waited for him to address me.

"Anastasia I see you have made it a point to be prepared this time. "

Nodding my head I refused to look up and mumbled a "yes sir".

"Please sit on the chair beside you and look at me Anastasia." Confused as to where this was going I did as he asked. The light was dim but I could see his face clearly. Mr. Grey was a handsome man and clearly so young which surprised me. It was usually older men that came in here. I was so intently focusing on his face that I barely registered he was speaking until I heard my name.

"Did you read over the contract Anastasia?"

Slowly swallowing I willed my self to respond. Something about Mr. Grey made me nervous and it wasn't just his power. He gave me this feeling deep in my stomach that I craved. Something I had always wanted with a man but could never have. Silently banishing my thoughts I replied

"Sorry Mr. Grey I did not. I am sure it entails what every other Master expects from their subs." I instantly knew I made the wrong choice when I saw the disapproving looks he gave me.

"Do they usually require you to move to Seattle and live with them until your contract is over Ms. Steele?" Too shocked to move I stared blankly at him. What about Elizabeth? I couldn't bring my daughter into this world.

I hope this continues to get such a great response ! I am sorry for any errors I am doing this all on my phone please R&R
