Don't forget my pintrest /thecranberries/fifty-shades-of-wonder/

Christian's POV:

It's early Friday morning and I still haven't heard from Ana. I sent flowers, chocolates, jewelry and the biggest stuffed bear I've ever seen, still nothing. I send her a text saying what time Taylor and I will arrive.

'Tonight? I will pick you up at eight. -CG' After an hour or so I get a response.

'Looking forward to it, Mr. Grey.' There is something so hot about her saying 'Mr. Grey' even through text. God, this girl is turning my life upside down. When I get home from the office, I have an appointment with my trainer I need release after dealing with those idiots all day. I don't want my incompetent staff ruining my date with Ana tonight. I punch and run until my anger fades.

Ana's POV:

After work, I am too exhausted to make it to my appointment with Flynn. I go straight home and take a forty-five minute power nap so I don't fall asleep in my food tonight. The whole time I am getting ready, taking a bath, doing my hair, make-up, choosing my outfit and so on, all I can think about it what is going to happen tonight. Can he change? If he can't, can I be more accommodating? Will we work? Will this be the last time I see Christian? I am going crazy wondering what I am in store for this evening.

I throw on my nude slip and a see thru black lace dress over top and grab my nude suede pumps. I don't do anything with my hair. Since it was curled yesterday, I have perfectly wavy hair today. I agree with with Kate and let her do my make up. Once she is done with me, I don't recognize who I am. The woman staring back at me in the mirror is beautiful. Christian rings the doorbell and I tell him I'll be right down. I quickly grab my purse and put on the locket Christian bought me.

When I exit the building, he is standing there looking more handsome than ever.

"You look amazing, Christian." He instantly grins which make my cheeks turn and obvious shade of pink.

"I could say the same about you, Miss Steele." I blush again.

"Well thank you." As we're speaking, there is a bit of distance among us.

"Well, Miss Steele, we have two options for tonight." With each word he says, the less distance there is between us. "We could go out for dinner or you can come over to my place." The distance between us is gone and before I can respond, his hands are on either side of my face and he kisses me. I throw my arms around his neck and he pulls me in closer. All of my worries about Christian and I are lost in this kiss it was the reassurance I needed.

"So what will it be?"

"Your place. It seems like a better place to have this conversation."

"I think you're right. Shall we then?" I give a little nod as I bite my lip.

"What did I say about biting your lip?" Again, I blush.

"My bad." I respond as I climb into the SUV.

"Taylor, we have decided to go back home to Escala."

"Yes, Sir."

"I see you're wearing the necklace I bought you."

"Yes, thank you, Christian. It's beautiful. Same with the flowers, the chocolate was amazing, and I love Ted."

"Ted?" He gives me a quizzical expression.

"The teddy bear."

"Ted" He laughs a little "Really creative name for a teddy bear."

"I guess you're right." I chuckle. I've never been good when it comes to naming things.

We pull into the underground parking lot of Escala. Christian helps me out of the car and leads me to the private elevator that takes us to the penthouse. He punches in a code and we ride up in silence. I still take in the beauty of this place, it's so modern yet comfortable.

"Follow me." Christian grabs my hand and leads me to the balcony.

"The view is breathtaking, Christian."

"It's why I bought this place but it doesn't compare to you." I am blushing again. I wish there was a way to control it.

"I don't think that's true but thank you."

"You don't think to highly of yourself do you."

"Not at all."

He walks closer and wraps his arms around me. "You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. You're confident, strong, and absolutely amazing. You have turned my world upside down, Anastasia."

"You have a way with words, don't you, Mr. Grey?"

"I'm nothing special, Ana, Shall we eat."

"I don't agree with that, Christian. You are special, believe me and yes, I'd love some food."

"Good" He leads me into kitchen and I sit down on one of the stools as Christian grabs two plates from the warmer.

"Sun dried tomato chicken and roasted asparagus salad made it myself." He adds a little wink at the end which is almost playful.

"Yes, because I believe that." Shit did that come out sarcastic and playful or just plain rude?

"Well, would you believe I paid someone to cook this?" Good, it came out sarcastic.

"That I could believe." He puts the plates down in front of me and the seat next to me and grabs two glasses and a bottle Sauvignon Blanc pours us both a glass then sits down.

After about five minutes of drinking and eating in silence, I decide to get right down to business. "So, Christian, have you decided if you can have a regular relationship?"

"I can't promise anything but the fact is that I want to try. The only relationships I've had are Sub and Dom relationships and I want to propose something to you."

"I'm all ears." I say with a smile.

"We both make a list of hard and soft limits like I would do with my subs. Mine would be a list of things I could do now for a relationship and things that scare me and you as a submissive."

"I think that is a fantastic idea, Christian. Why should you be the only one accommodating to the others needs? Before I agree though, I need you to be clear that I'm not going to be your submissive."

"I understand that, Ana. Trust me and I don't want that from you."

"Good! I have something I want you to agree to as well. I want to take you on a date sometime by the end of the month. I'm not going to rush you but I need to be sure you can be in a situation you can't control. I would pick you up take you out and pay for our date."

"No, there is no way I am going to let you pay for me. I have more than enough money to give you everything you need and you are not going to pay for me."

"This isn't an option, Christian I need this for me I get that you have money but you need you understand that I need this for me." I can see a bit of sadness in his eyes and frustration I don't think he's had many people say no to him.

"Fine, if it means I get to see you again. You can take me on a date."

"Perfect."

"I am going to grab some contract with my submissives from the past and a list of things that are typical in my kind of relationships."

"Alright."

He comes back and hands me a fairly thick manila envelope and I put it in my purse.

"Now that we've had dinner, it's time for dessert." He says as he walks towards me, his eyes never leaving mine.

The next thing I know I'm pinned up against the wall with my hands pinned above my head with my legs wrapped around his waist.

"There is something I need to tell you, Christian, before this night goes any further."

"What?" He says while kissing down my neck.

"I'm a virgin." He instantly stops what he's doing.

"YOU'RE A VIRGIN?" Oh shit. I bit my lip and just nod

"Well, we need to go change that right now." He throws me over his shoulder and carries me upstairs and places me on the bed.

"Ana, do you want to do this?" This man in the only person who has even turned me on I feel like I'm melting when I am around him.

"Yes."

Lemons next!
