*** Ana ***
Today was going to be a very long day no doubt about that! I mean, besides having to deal with a massive hangover, I was struggling to get that hot and wet dream of my mind, and my body was nowhere near to recover from the aftershock. Christian had once again walsed swiftly back into my life, and this time, he hadn't even been involved at all, it was all in my very confused and very aroused head.
"Get it together Ana! You have work to do and now is no time to think about naughty dreams." I say to myself, looking down at all the mail I had to sort out for my boss Jack. This was truly a minor job for me, but I was glad to have to do it, it would certainly keep my head busy from wandering about dangerous scenarios.
"Ana, I'm going to need you to stay a little late today. There are a couple of transcripts I steel need to revise and I could use your help while I do that. You ok with that?" Jack asks, bringing me back from my internal rambling.
"S-sure. If you really need me too I'll help you out." I answer, not knowing what to do about my later commitment with the very own Mr. Grey. Well, after showing up at here and asking me on, what I supposed, could be called a date, and after drilling me with questions about me going out last night, he hadn't really said anything else so maybe he had forgotten about it or didn't feel like following through with his plans. I guess I should just get over with it and tell him about my late night at work. Oh well, let the games begin.

At work, I'm afraid. I will have to stay a little late to help my boss Jack getting some work done.
Although i don't know if dinner tonight was still in your plans or not, I guess we can reschedule it if you still want to talk to me.
Again, I'm sorry but it's work, I can't say no.
Anastasia Steele
Assistant to Jack Hyde, Commissioning Editor, SIP
I hit send and then resume my working, awaiting that ping sound to appease my nerves and tell me that he is alive and still wanting to see me. But that sound doesn't come as fast as I would hope, and before I know it, the building starts to get quieter all of a sudden, everyone going home for the day, leaving me and Jack practically alone. And for once, I feel unease with myself, not liking the feeling of being left completely alone with a man I don't quite know.
"Ana, could you bring me some coffee?" he shouts from his office, sounding tired and annoyed.
"I'm on it." I shout back, glad to have something useful to occupy myself with.
I grab one of the biggest cups, fill it with some fresh brewed coffee, grab two sugar baggies and stroll back into Jack's office only to find him looking rather frazzled.
"Thanks" he mumbles, taking a deep breath and taking the cup from my hands with surprisingly strength. He then drops both bags in the cup and drinks it with such fervor you would think he hadn't drink or eaten in days.
"I'm sorry Ana. But management has been breathing down my neck to get these done as fast as I can. Apparently something is going down and I'm the one that gets screwed over it. Well, and you too of course. Again, thank you for staying tonight, at least we can keep each other company" he says, looking truly thankful and sincere about his motives to keep me here late.
"Any time Jack. I am very glad to be able to help in any way I can. I really like to work here" I say back to him, hoping that he will see how much I intend to help around the business and maybe one day i'll get some appreciation for it, maybe even a promotion. That would be perfect!
"I know, I can tell you really like to work here Ana. And don't worry, you won't be an assistant forever. I have high hopes for you and I will make sure you build a great career right here at SIP" he assures me, making me feel extremely proud of myself. After he gives a slight nod and a small wink I get back to my desk and resume my activity of sorting out any mail, letter and so on, always ready to get up and help him once again. I guess he truly was just asking me to stay to work, and just like that, I relax a little and get a little ashamed of myself. Very stupid of me to just assume everyone is out to get me.
After organizing a few mails directed at Jack and sorting some of the letters addressed to him, I look at my watch, it's now 20:38 and Jack hasn't ask anything else of me so far. So I just sit there and wait. And, like clockwork, I receive an email from no other than Christian Grey himself. I have to say, even though I was thinking about him all this time, having an email there from him, makes my stomach clench and I feel myself sweat a little. The man truly intoxicates me, without even being present.

Outside of SIP.
Should I come inside and ask your boss for your earlier release from duty?
I am looking forward for some alone time with you Anastasia and I don't feel like waiting much more.
Christian Grey
Anxious CEO, Grey Enterprises Holdings Inc.
Ohh…he's eager to be with me? And alone? Suddenly i feel dizzy. And nauseous. And shaking. And finally, I feel extremely horny. Oh my, he's standing outside, waiting to whisk me away for some alone time and I'm feeling like I should just lay down and sleep it off. Hangover mixed with extreme sexual arousal doesn't feel like the perfect combination. And on top of everything else, I barely ate anything all day. He would certainly be displeased by that, and would definitely want to put me across his knee. And just like that, I get up and walk into Jack's office, determined to find out just how much time it will take for me to see my very own fifty again.
"Hum, Jack. Sorry to bother you but I was just wondering if you still needed me to stay much longer?" I ask him, feeling a little ashamed for my ulterior motive to get out of here.
"Oh, sorry Ana. I got caught up in this and I forgot about you dear. Yes of course, I'm almost done with the last transcript so you can go. And thanks again, you're the best." He says, giving me a warm smile and winking at me. That's all the encouragement I need to grab my things in my desk, leave everything ready for tomorrow and almost run out of the building.
And as soon as I step out of the building there he is, leaning in his Audi R8, looking as handsome and perfect as ever, in one of his perfectly tailored grey suits, top button of his white shirt unbuttoned, his hair looking all wild and untamed and giving him the ultimate bad boy vibe. And what a bad boy he was!
"I'm glad to finally been able to see you Anastasia. And I have to say, it was worth the wait as always" he says, giving me an appreciating look and, I would swear, a bit of lust in the mix. Holding my hand, he softly kisses my knuckles and breathes the scent of me. How can something so simple cause such a response from my entire body? Every bit of me wants to be his, hold him, kiss him, feel him close to me. But I restrain myself from doing just that, aware of the troubled path that would lead us too.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting Mr. Grey. Shall we go? I'm starving" I say, smiling shyly to him, knowing full well that food was his Achilles' heel. And just like that he ushers me into the car, rounds the front of the car in surprising speed and grace and positions himself in the driver's seat, giving me a small wink that could only mean he was pleased with my sudden interest in eating.
"So Miss Steele, how was work today? Managed to get everything done?" he asks, in a very calm and collected voice, very unlike of him.
"Yes, I think so. And how was work in the glamorous world of Mergers and Acquisitions Mr. Grey?" I ask, in a playful and sarcastic tone, causing him to laugh at loud and giving me the look that said he was truly amused by my good spirits. Oh how I loved to hear him laugh, it was truly sweet music for my ears.
"It has nothing on you Miss Steele. I very much would prefer spending the day with you Anastasia, I hope you know that" he says, suddenly turning the whole conversation much more serious and making me softly blush. Damn! He was so good at this.
"Don't say things like that Christian please. It makes me feel uncomfortable." I plead him, knowing full well that he already realized that by just looking at my recently pinked cheeks.
"I'm sorry Ana. I did not mean to upset you at all. I just wanted you to know how I truly feel about you. I'm just happy you accepted to see me tonight and I'll make sure you don't regret it" He says, looking sincere in his apology but also looking a bit excited I guess? I couldn't tell being him the mercurial man he was.
All I knew was that tonight was not going to be a night like any other. I was going to spend it with my one true love and I was going to have to fight every cell in my, already extremely aroused body, to prevent myself from completely give up to his intoxicating self altogether. And by the looks of it, it was going to be much harder than I thought fighting those gorgeous grey eyes and perfect chiseled body. Oh my, I was really playing with fire and the only question was, how burned was I going to get before it all came crumbling down on me!
