Chapter 17

APOV

Tonight with Christian was super steamy. I still can't believe we went that far. I wish Kate wasn't on her honeymoon so I could talk to her. I hope I'm not moving too fast here but things feel right with him.

The next few days go by the same way. I get up, go to work, and come home. There is nothing exciting. In fact, it's boring. At long last it's Friday. I am excited about the weekend and getting to see Christian again. I just hope he still feels the same way about me. We didn't really get to talk because of the time difference and only texted a few times. At lunch he texts me.

*How is your day going?*

*Better now. How was New York?*

*Lonely. Would you like to come over to my place for dinner tonight?*

*I would love that.*

*Great. I'll pick you up at SIP at 5*

*See you then.*

I am ridiculously excited to see him. The afternoon drags until 5. I walk out the front doors to see his SUV waiting for me. He gets out of the back and opens the door for me. "Good evening, Anastasia. You look beautiful."

I blush. I forgot how intense the electricity is between us. He gives me a smoldering smile as he gets in next to me. He takes my hand and kisses it. "Hi." I breathe out. It's all I can manage to get out. He smirks at me knowing exactly his effect me. We get to his palatial apartment where I am stunned. I feel like I am in a museum.

"Are you hungry? Mrs. Jones, my housekeeper, made us dinner before she left for the weekend." I'm excited and nervous, I can't even think about eating.

"Um… sure." He takes my hand and leads me to the dining room. The table is set for us with a vase of different red tulips and stuff for fondue. "Fondue?"

He smiles. "I didn't give much time to Mrs. Jones. And, besides, it's fun." He seems so youthful right now. We sit down to three different fondue pots, one is a swiss cheese and white wine blend, the other is a broth like one that would be with coq au vin, and the last pot is filled with dark chocolate and Grand Marnier. There is an assortment of things at each pot to dip - bread, vegetables, fruit, chilled lobster and filet mignon, and pound cake.

He pours us each a glass of Alphonse Mellot Edmond Sancerre Blanc from 2012. I'm sure this bottle was not cheap. Everything is outstanding and delicious. During dinner, we talk and the conversation flows naturally between us. I am truly shocked when he tells me he was kicked out of three schools as a teenager for fighting. I think he almost choked when I told him about the time I was driving Kate our freshman year of college and a bee flew into the car. We both started freaking out and screaming and to make everything worse I backed into a cop car.

Christian takes some of the dishes to the kitchen and places them in the sink. I pick up the rest and bring them over to him. "Ana, you didn't have to do that. I would have gotten the rest."

"I wanted to help." Christian turns around, steps towards me, and grasps my face in his hands. He leans down and kisses me. I reach my hands into his hair and tug slightly. He groans and presses his hips into me so I can feel his erection. Christian moves his hands from my face and holds one against my back and the other against my butt.

He starts kissing me down my neck slowly walking us backward out of the kitchen. As we're walking he whispers in my ear, "Ana, I want you. I want to make love to you." I feel like my blood is on fire. He continues kissing down my neck to my chest and I feel a warm ache down there.

My brain is foggy and all I know is I want Christian with every fiber of my being. "Christian, I want you too." Suddenly, he picks me up still kissing me and carries me to his bedroom.

He stops kissing me and is out of breath, "Are you sure, Ana? You want to do this?" His luminous gray eyes are searching mine for an answer. He's the epitome of beauty, straight nose, strong jaw, and full lips. He has a slight bit of stubble which gives him a sexy and rugged look.

I look up into his eyes and nod. He quickly swoops down and kisses me again but this time much harder and full of need. He strips off my cardigan and pushes the hem of my tank top up and over my head. Christian kisses down my neck and shoulders and reaches his hands behind my back to unclasp my bra. We kiss and he fondles my breast. He stops kissing me and steps back to look at me in my state of undress. "Fuck, you are so hot, Ana." Before I have a chance to respond he grabs me once more and we fall onto his bed with him on top of me.

CPOV

Ana is stunning. Her nipples are bubblegum pink and puffy that harden beneath my fingers. She moans and arches her back when I suck and kiss them. I make my way down her stomach. When I get to it, I stick my tongue in her navel and she cries out bucking her hips up as she does. I unbutton her jeans and slowly pull down the zipper to unveil purple polka-dot panties. I pull them down with her jeans to reveal a small little spot of pubic hair. I smile and once her jeans and panties are off I move back up to her mound. I stop right above her and spread her legs apart to give me better access. I lean down and gently lick her clitoris making her gasp.

I can tell she's embarrassed by what I just did and she tries to shut her legs once more. I smile, "oh no you don't, baby." Her legs are spread once more and I continue to pleasure her and get her ready for sex. I don't want her first time to be painful so I will take my time and make sure she is ready. She starts to buck her hips essentially fucking my face. I look at her and her face is showing complete ecstasy. A little while later, I feel her legs begin to stiffen and her breathing gets more labored. She's close to orgasm so I stick my finger in her and immediately she erupts crying out my name. I push my pants down so I am naked and lean back over her. I ask her, after a quick kiss, "are you sure about this?"

"Yes, please Christian. Oh, my God. Please!" I roll on the condom and place myself at her entrance. I grab her shoulders with my hands and kiss her once more. Then I thrust into her and she cries out. I pause letting her acclimate to me inside of her.

"Are you OK, Anastasia?" I ask her as I kiss her nose, eyes, cheeks and neck.

She nods, "yes."

"Do you want me to keep going?" I'm holding her as close to me as possible. Being this close to her and holding her in my arms like this feels amazing.

"Yes." I slowly start thrusting in and out of her.

"Baby, you feel so good." I start to pick up the pace slowly until I have a nice rhythm. She feels so good I know I won't last too long so I want to speed things up for her. I kiss her all over and reach down to slowly tease her clitoris.

She's close and about to come but she won't give in to it. "Baby, give it up for me." She finally does and it's so intense it immediately makes me come. Once we've both calmed down, I ask her, "Was that OK?"

"That was better than OK. That was incredible." She makes me smile and I kiss her sweetly before I pull out. That night we fall asleep together in my bed and I wrap my arms around her.
