Chapter 20

CPOV

The week was insanely busy and I only got to see Ana a couple of times during the week. The memories of the weekend are what keep me going and now that it's Friday I am excited for another weekend to spend with her.

My phone rings and when I look at the caller ID I see it's Elliot. Why is he calling me from his honeymoon? There isn't anything I want to hear about in regard to his honeymoon.

"Grey."

"Hey, bro. What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Aren't you supposed to be on your honeymoon? I thought you didn't come home until Wednesday."

"Yeah, one of my jobs needed to be redesigned so we came back last night."

"I see. You know I don't want to hear about the details of your honeymoon, right?"

"Yes. Chill out, man. That's not why I called." Hearing Elliot say chill reminds me of the 'Netflix and chill' with Ana. I automatically smile. "You know Mia's birthday is tomorrow, right?"

"Of course I know, she is my sister too."

"Well, since we came back early, Mia wants a bunch of us to go over to Mom and Dad's for a birthday party."

"Who is the bunch of us?"

"Pretty much all of us who went to LA; Kate, me, you, Ana, and Ethan." Ana will be there. This party is sounding better.

"Well, it's short notice but let me check my calendar to see what I can do." I don't want to sound too eager since I normally wouldn't want to go.

"Oh, Jesus man, can't you just have fun for one night? Plus if you don't go you know Mia will never let you live it down."

"You have a point about Mia. Fine. I'll go." I hang up the call with my brother and immediately after I text Ana.

*Come to Mia's party at my parents' house tomorrow. I will be there so we can spend time together.*

*OK. This will be fun. ;-)*

*See you tomorrow.*

*See you. xoxo*

Just a few minutes after I message with Christian, Mia calls me. "Hi, Ana!"

"Hey, Mia. How are you?"

"I'm great! Tomorrow is my birthday and I want to invite you to a get-together at my parents' house tomorrow. They have plenty of room so you can stay over and not worry about getting home; Kate and Elliot are staying over too."

"Cool, that sounds like fun! What time should I be there?"

"Is 8 OK?"

"I can do that. Can you text me your parents' address?"

"I'm so excited! I'll send you the address right away. See you tomorrow, Ana!"

"See you tomorrow, Mia. Happy early birthday."

"Thanks, Ana." I hang up with Mia and secretly hug myself. Tomorrow will be the first test to see if we can keep our relationship a secret. I know it's weird to want to keep it a secret when the guy is Christian. But, right now I just want us to be the only part of our relationship. Once Kate finds out, she'll be all over me especially when she knows I've lost my virginity. My phone rings again and it's Christian.

"Hello."

"Anastasia." Damn, how can he sound so sexy? "Did my sister call you?"

"Yes. I just got off the phone with her a few minutes ago."

"So, I will see you tomorrow?"

"Nah, I told her I didn't feel like it." I can't help it and let out a giggle.

"Oh, you better be kidding, little girl."

"Little girl? I'll show you I'm no little girl." I tease him. I like these times when he is relaxed and in a lighthearted mood.

"Can I see you?"

"Tonight?"

"Yes. Will you come over? I miss you and want to see you."

"Truly, how can I say no to that? What time?"

"I can be there in a few minutes. I'll come pick you up."

"OK, see you in a few minutes." Once we hang up I quickly run to brush my teeth and make sure my hair looks OK.

About ten minutes later I see the black Audi SUV pull up in front of my building. I was so excited I waited for him in the lobby. He gets out of the back seat and opens the door for me. Before I have a chance to get in, he gives me a sweet kiss.

"Hi." I greet him. "How was your week?"

"Long and lonely. Yours?"

"Same."

He leans in and whispers in my ear, "I need you tonight." I turn to look at him and he's looking back at me, his eyes blazing with sensuality. And, I don't know how this happened, but in this moment I realize I would do anything for this man. My feelings for him run deeper than I thought.

We get to his apartment and he asks me if I would like some wine. "Is that what you really want? To sit and drink wine with me?" I've realized whenever I am around him he gives me this audacity to be completely open and honest with him and say the things I would never utter aloud normally.

"No. I want to kiss your lips. I want to kiss your neck, down to your stomach and your thighs. I want my hands and tongue to experience every inch of you. I want to taste you. I want to hear you moan. I want to lose myself inside you." Holy fuck. That is the hottest thing I have ever heard. He's rendered me speechless, making me gasp.

I look up at him, "OK". It's all that comes to my mind and the only thing I can formulate after that.

He smiles at me. "OK?" He pauses to run his thumb on my lower lip causing a thrilling jolt throughout my body. "So, shall we continue this conversation in my bedroom?"

We're standing in front of his bed and Christian is standing only a couple of inches from me. "Anastasia, I like you in this outfit. Did you wear it to work?" His voice is low and seductive.

I'm wearing a black and white paisley print bodycon mini skirt with a white flowy camisole and a black blazer. "Yes." I am practically panting and he hasn't even touched me yet.

He takes my blazer off and throws it on a chair next to his bed. Then, he runs his fingers along the bottom hem of my skirt. "Don't you think it's a little short for work?" He reaches up my skirt easily and rubs my sex through my panties. "I think you like this. Don't you? Your body doesn't lie."

I let out a soft moan. I want him so much I am beginning to ache. And to think just a couple of weeks ago I was a virgin. Without saying a word he lifts my camisole up over my head and then pulls my skirt down so I am just in my bra and panties. Softly, he holds my shoulders and lays me down on his bed so he is above me. "My, my, my. You are a sight to behold."

Christian kisses me softly at first but then it grows more urgent. I'm lost in our passionate kiss and I reach my hands up to his back. I barely touch him when he grabs both of my hands in one of his and holds them above my head. For a split second, he looks distressed but quickly recovers. "No touching." Before I have a chance to contemplate it, he begins kissing down my neck.

As he kisses down my neck and shoulders, he reaches behind me and effortlessly unhooks my bra. He peels my bra off me and tosses it on the floor. Then he relentlessly teases my nipples until I'm about to orgasm. "Oh, no. Not yet, baby." He smirks up at me.

"Ugh, Christian! You're driving me crazy!" He's kissing down my stomach but I can feel him smile when I say it. He moves down and kisses me between my thighs making me writhe with pleasure.

Finally, he takes mercy on me and kisses my mouth, and a split second later he enters me. It's a bewildering feeling - at first, it's a sharp pain and then immense pleasure that relieves the internal ache I had for him. "God, baby, you feel so good." We fit together perfectly, the sound of our breathing melded together as one. Our bodies moved in concert at times languidly others, rough and carnal. We make love until the early hours of the morning falling asleep in each other's arms from sheer exhaustion.
