Chapter 18

APOV

Bright sunlight filters into the room waking me up. At first, I don't know where I am until I remember I am in Christian's bed. I still can't believe I lost my virginity last night. If sex is like this with everyone, I was really missing out. I turn over and striking gray eyes are looking at me.

"Good morning, Ana. How did you sleep?" Even just waking up he is gorgeous. Oh my God! I probably look terrible. I hope I don't have bad breath. "You are beautiful in the morning, do you know that?"

"I probably look like a mess." I try to straighten my hair so it isn't all crazy.

"You look like you had great sex last night and that makes it even hotter." He leans into me and gives me a kiss. The kiss lingers for a bit then intensifies. "Are you sore?"

"A bit." I'm embarrassed. I'm not used to talking about personal things like this with someone.

"Ana, you don't have to be embarrassed with me. Do you want to get breakfast? I'd cook for you but I don't know how." This time he actually looks embarrassed.

"You mean to tell me you never cooked for a previous girlfriend?" I get up out of bed and wrap the sheet around me as I remember I don't have anything here except for what I wore here last night.

"Um… no. I have a robe hanging on the back of the door if you would like that." He points to what I assume is his bathroom. I look at him, down at myself, and then to the door. Should I drag the sheet into the bathroom with me or walk to the bathroom in my birthday suit? Quickly, I drop the sheet and run for the bathroom shutting the door as soon as I get in there. I am such an idiot. He probably thinks I am some kind of weirdo. I use the facilities and grab his robe from the door. It's so soft and fluffy. If I had a robe like this, I would never get out of it.

I walk out of the bathroom and Christian is standing there in pajama pants and a t-shirt. Damn, he is sexy any time of the day. "You know Ana, you shouldn't be embarrassed. I would be very pleased if you walked around sans clothing the entire time. Plus, I have been everywhere on your body now." He raises an eyebrow at me making me blush even more.

I don't know what it is about him but I lose my ability to speak. "So, would you like me to make breakfast? Unless you have something you need to do, then I can go." I don't want to assume anything but I don't know how you're supposed to act after you've slept with someone.

"No, I'd like you to stay. That is if you want to." Fortunately for me, he seems just as awkward about this stuff as I am. Which is kind of strange since I would think he's quite the Casanova.

CPOV

Last night with Ana was simply incredible. I've never had vanilla sex before but if it's always like this then I'll take it. There's a little thought in the back of my head telling me the reason is that it's with Ana. I'm sure it's just because it's new for me.

I go to my office and check some email. It takes a little longer than I thought it would so when I come out I can't find Ana at first. Then, I hear noises coming from the kitchen so I make my way over to her. "Ana?"

I startle her and she jumps. "Oh, Christian! You scared me. I'm making muffins for breakfast. Is that OK? I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all. It smells delicious." I say as I sit down at the breakfast bar. She blushes and looks down. A little while later we enjoy warm blueberry muffins for breakfast. "I had Taylor pick up some clothes for you. I hope you don't mind. I've placed the bag on my bed."

"Oh, thank you. You didn't have to do that." Ana has such a refreshing element of innocence about her.

"I know I didn't. I wanted to. Why don't you head for a shower while I clean up?" I don't know where that came from but it is nice to have someone here with me. Normally, my submissives would do all of this but Ana isn't a submissive. I put the dishes in the sink and make my way to my office to make sure all my plans are set.

When I walk into my bedroom I hear the shower still on so I quickly shed my clothes and go to join Ana in the shower. I sneak in behind her and wrap my arms around her making her jump. I give her a sly smile, "I thought you might need help washing your back."

"Well, I am so glad a good samaritan like you is here to help me. It's very selfless of you." Ana giggles and turns so we are facing each other. I feel like there is some unseen force pulling me to Ana. I lean down and kiss her. Then, I take the body wash and making a lather in my hand, I begin to massage her shoulders and back. We fool around a little bit but she is sore and if we go any further we won't ever get out of the apartment.

We get out of the shower and I go into my closet to get dressed. On the bed are a light pink faux-wrap cashmere sweater, a pair of cropped skinny black jeans, and a pair of black Christian Louboutin Tiagadaboot suede booties. "Christian, these are too expensive. I won't be able to pay you back." She yells into the closet.

I walk out of the closet buttoning up my shirt, "Anastasia, I don't want you to pay me back so there is no issue." She is standing there in the light pink Stella McCartney plunge bra and the low rise panties. She looks hot.

She catches me looking at her. "What? Is something wrong?"

"No, in fact, everything is right. Do you have any idea how beautiful and sexy you are?" She blushes and looks down. I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable although I would love to sit here and just watch her. So, I tell her I'll be in the great room and leave to give her some privacy. A few minutes later she walks into the room. The sweater is the perfect coloring for her fair skin, the deep v-neck gives a peek at her fantastic breasts without showing too much, and the jeans show off her long, shapely legs. "Wow… Ana."

She gives me her shy smile and her customary blush. "Where are we going? Do I look OK?"

"It's a secret and you look wonderful. Come." I reach my hand out to her and she places her hand in mine. Together we make our way to the elevator. Ana looks at me strangely when instead of pressing the down button in the elevator, I press up. She doesn't say anything but I can tell she's curious and it makes me snicker.

Ana still looks unsure as we reach the roof and the doors open. Taking her hand once more, I lead her to the first part of the surprise. When we get there, her blue eyes are huge. "Holy… mackerel. Christian, is this helicopter yours?"

"Yes, her name is Charlie Tango. Today, I'm going to take you for a tour in it."

"Do you do this often? Take people for a tour in your fancy schmancy helicopter?"

"Actually, aside from family, you're the first passenger I'll have."

"Really? So I am the first?"

I smile broadly at her, "Yes. You are my first."
