Ana POV

He came for me? He cares enough to run after me into this hell hole of an apartment. I can't believe this. I don't know what to say. I am staring at the gorgeous man and can't find the words.

"Ana say something please?" Oh he is so cute when he begs.

"I forgive you Christian. Thanks you for checking up on me. I will be fine now." I know he is not going to leave but I can't make it to easy for him.

"Ana I am not leaving you here. I will put you up in a hotel till I can get you a better place to stay." What the hell is he going on about?

"Christian No. I can not take handouts. I will be fine here."

"Ana this is not a handout and don't be so stubborn there are 3 half-naked men outside who tried to just sell me drugs and they were high as well. What if they all come in here looking for some action." Just the thought of that makes my skin crawl. I hate that he is right. They have banged on my door countless nights wanting me to come and play with them but I can't tell him that.

"Christian I do not need to go to a hotel. I will see if my friend Jose will let me sleep by him for a while." Why does the sound of another guys name make my blood boil? I will not allow her to sleep by some guy who wants into her panties. I see the way he was looking at her in the kitchen earlier. This makes me laugh because I realize I am just that guy to.

"No wait. I got a better idea. Why don't you take my guest bedroom till you can find a place on your own. Its empty and I do not need it and I would appreciate the company." What is he just asking me to move in with him. This can't be happening. Is he crazy maybe he is the one who knocked his head and is not thinking straight.

"Christian I don't even know you and as I told you I don't take handouts. And the other problem which you seem to have forgotten is I work for you." That should do it.

"Yes, you do. I am Christian and I stay in Escala with Taylor and Gail my house keeper. See you do know me." I burst into laughter. Oh my this man is never going to give up and I guess I am safe because those guys took all those photos of us so everyone knows who I went home with. I must be fucking crazy to be doing this.

"Fine I will stay with you in the spare bedroom just until I can find a place of my own. And I want to pay you rent for my room." The smile on his face lights up the entire room and it makes me smile to.

"Ana I do not want rent for the room."

"Then I do not want the room. I am not taking handouts. I have already told you this."

"Fine I will make you a deal. You cook all the meals on a weekend and that will cover your rent, it will also give Gail some time off to spend with Taylor." I look at him with shock on my face and just nod in agreement.

"Deal Mr Grey." I grab my suitcase and pack all my stuff up and we leave together. I hand my keys to one of the half-naked men and give up my deposit because I am leavening without notice.

Taylor POV

I am shocked at the boss's behavior today. Yes I have had to deal with a lot of subs coming in and out the apartment but Christian has never had feelings for them they were just a past time. Ana is so different. The stuff he was saying to her in the room made me smile. I knew he was aware that Gail and I were together but I dint think he cared if we got time together. I know he has done that for his own benefit but it still made me smile. He has just proven me wrong. The man does know how to grovel. He is really a good guy once you get to know him.

The way he looks at her with so much love and affection is crazy because he has just met her. I am a man who does not believe in love at fist site but today I have been proven wrong. Even if the two of them won't admit it, it is clear that they are madly attraction with each other. He deserves this in his life after all the things he had been through. Its going to be fun to watch them two dancing around each other. I called Gail and got her to make up the spare bedroom for the boss's special guest.

Christian POV

Yes I am a great business man. She is going to be living with me and cooking for me every weekend. I know Gail loves to cook and her food is great but it's only fair they also get some time to themselves. What better way than this. It's a win, win situation for everybody. I did come to one conclusion that Ms. Steele is no sub and I doubt she ever will be. So I am going to take a chance here today and try something different. We arrive at Escala and I can feel Ana tense up besides me. She is staring out the window looking so shocked.

"Christian you live here?" I can here the surprise in her voice.

"Yes I do. Is there a problem?"

"No I just didn't expect. I don't know what I expected but this is ok its closer to work for me." I laugh because I know she is trying to convince herself she is doing the right thing.

"Ana you are not staying with me for nothing. This is not a handout. You are going to be paying for your accommodation in your own way so we are more like flat mates."

"Yes Christian we are and you are right."

We leave the car and go up to my apartment. The higher the lift climbs the more tense she becomes. When the door opens at the penthouse she says.

"Shit this is the Penthouse Christian."

"Yes, you live here now to." She shakes her head and walk into the foyer and spots the kitchen and gasps. I don't think she even notices Gail standing there in the passage. She walks into the kitchen and her entire face lights up she is running her sexy slender fingers across every available surface admiring it.

"Christian this is an exquisite kitchen. Its beautiful."

"Thank you I think but this is all Gail's doing. Gail this is Anastasia she will be living here now. Ana this is Gail my house keeper and chef and Taylors significant other." I notice the shock on both Taylor and Gail's faces but pay back is a Bitch. Taylor deserved it.

Ana POV

I am stunned. I knew he was a rich man but the fucking penthouse. It's so big and clinical but the kitchen is a girls every dream come true. I am going to be creating masterpieces out of there. Maybe I will extend my stay a little longer to enjoy just this part of the house.

"Gail it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Pleasure is all mine come let me take you to your room to settle in."

I follow her up a flight of stairs into a room that looks like it is out of a designer magazine, it's stunning in light grey and white. The bed looks to good to sleep in. I thank her and she leaves. I feel so embarrassed when I am done unpacking. The closet is a sight for sore eyes with my stuff in there. I have my 6 pairs of jeans and 12 tops and 4 pairs of converse sneakers and 2 pairs of ballet flats and one knee length leather lace up pair of boots. My leather motor bike riding suit and biker boot for when I purchase me another super bike. My heart broke when I had to sell her to pay for my rent. I close the door and freshen up and go downstairs for dinner. I am so nervous I don't know what to expect. It's not as bad as I imagined. Christian and I had dinner together. The food was good. We chatted about everything and we just had a good time. It felt so normal like we are old friends. After supper we went to the great room to just relax on the couches and chat with a glass of wine.
