It's been two days since I've brought Anastasia to Seattle with me. It's Wednesday and I've decided we would start our Dom/Sub relationship today. Walking into my house after work I see Anastasia sitting on my couch reading Pride and Prejudice.

I find it funny that someone in this lifestyle would be drawn to romantic novels. There was nothing romantic about being a submissive or a Dom. At least it wasn't romantic when it was with me.

"Anastasia we will start today. I gave Gail the day off so you will be cooking it's 5 O'clock I expect dinner at 6." Seeing her immediately bounce in to sub mood was always strange for me. I knew this is what she was used to but something about her wasn't right. There was a part of her I would catch glimpses of and I could tell she was a strong willed woman.

"Yes Sir. I'll get started right away." Seeing her walk into the kitchen I decided to head to my room and shower.

Ana POV

Dinner was ready and I was setting up the table. I decided to make baked chicken with greens simple and easy. I wasn't sure if I would be eating with him or not. I know most Doms force their subs to eat alone but who knew what Mr. Grey liked and didn't. I've been here for two days and I could tell he was definitely fucked up. His anger would come and go like a tide.

Hearing his footsteps down the hall I stood by the table with my head down. I saw out of the corner of my eyes as he sat down.

"You may sit and eat Miss Steele." I gradually sat down next to him and filled my plate. I know that He has a thing with food so I make sure it's enough to satisfy his liking.

"How was your day Anastasia?" Rolling my eyes I go to answer him but not before he grabs my chin and forces me to look at him.

"I absolutely hate when people roll their eyes Miss Steele. Especially a lady... It's not very polite. If you do it again I will punish you as I see fit." Trying to fight back my tears I pull my chin away to no avail. His grip is firm and his eyes are set. I don't understand why rolling my eyes is such a problem. It's as if he's my father. That's why I could never understand these relationships. It was as if I was a damn child.

"So because I roll my eyes you will beat me?! Is it not enough that I left my daughter to be here ?!" I had yelled at him before I could register what I was doing. Instantly seeing his eyes go dark I knew I made a mistake. The truth was I was scared of Mr. Grey. All of my punishments in the past were mild. Sir was not a mild man this I knew for sure.

" To my office Anastasia maybe next time you will think twice before talking back. I thought you understood the dynamic of being a submissive. Go now. " I kept my head down as I rose from my chair. I yelped as I felt a stinging slap land on my ass. My knees felt weak but I did as I was told. I knew sooner or later this would happen. It was the worst part of this whole ordeal. I had no choice. I sat on his couch as I waited for him to come and get me. My heart was beating wildly as he entered the room.

"Bend over the couch Anastasia."

I sobbed as I turned to look at him. "Sir please I am sorry just give me a warning. It will not happen again"

"You can either bend over the couch willing Miss Steele or I will bend you over myself." I silently did as I was told. Tears streamed down my face as I waited for the first blow.

"Miss Steele you know my rules you read my contract. You signed my contract and agreed to this. I don't want to punish you. This is your first time so I will be lenient and use my hand 10 licks ,but do not expect it again if this behavior continues understood?" I nodded silently. Another stinging slap landed as Sir scolded me.

" Use your words Anastasia." Christian demanded.

"Yes sir I understand." I whispered. I squeezed my eyes tightly together as he preceded to spank me as a child. Oh god did it hurt so much. By the last five smacks my body was heaving as I sobbed.

"I will give you time alone and then you may rejoin me for dinner. Please do not keep me waiting Miss Steele." He said as he was leaving the room. I curled into a ball and cried. I felt my eyes get heavy. I knew I should have gotten up to please Christian but I was so tired and angry. I wanted to be alone and cry. I felt so belittled and I hated Mr. Grey for everything that he was.

Christian POV

I left Anastasia in my office as I went to my bedroom. What was wrong with me? My heart felt weak as I saw her crying with every smack I gave to her behind. I felt weak and vulnerable. Seeing her in pain wasn't something I enjoyed. Nonsense! I was her Dom not her boyfriend this is the only relationship I do right?

I groaned to myself as I mentally berated my decision. No matter what I was a Dom first and foremost. This was a place in my life where I had utter control I wasn't about to give it up for a woman I met only 3 days ago. With my mind made up I went back to the kitchen hoping that Anastasia had heeded my advice and would be there by now.

So as this goes on Ana will not be the best submissive as she misses her daughter. Christian will see that and try to fix it. Next chapter you will get Christians take on things. In the book we never really got to see him in Dom mode with Ana like punishments and stuff but I wanted this story to be different. He will change as it goes on in to a sweet Christian but I felt like he darker side needed to be seen. Also his family will know about his lifestyle in my story trust me it is needed for the ideas I have! I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review !
