Author's Note:

Hello all,

I'm very glad everyone has liked the story so far. I saw some people were wondering if I had published this story before and the answer is no. This idea popped into my head randomly one day a month ago so I decided to write it. We will know Ana and Christian's pasts soon so please be patient.

Peace, love, and hugs,

I pace back around the kitchen for probably the 20th lap. Gail and Jason are standing behind the island watching me walk around the room like a nervous hen. I've never been this anxious about my other guests getting evaluated by Mom, but Ana is different. She's so tiny and fragile I just feel the need to protect her myself. I don't want to baby her, but my longing to know she's well is going into overdrive. Mom finally comes out of the room along with Mia, who heads off in the direction of my room. With my previous guests, they borrowed my clothes until we bought outfits for them that would fit them properly since they all had different body types.

"How is she Mom," I ask stopping right in front of her.

"Well she's severely underweight so she'll need fattening meals, but not large meals at first. She has had broken ribs in the past that healed on their own. Mentally, it will take her some time to adjust to this."

"Can I go see her?"

"No Christian. For one she's taking a bath and the second is you might terrify her." I look at my mom in confusion. "I had to give her a pelvic exam to see if she was raped. To be kidnapped and then to feel violated in one day really took a toll on her."

"Was she raped?" I don't care if they would kill me in the process, if anyone of those fuckers raped her, I will kill them myself.

"No thank God. I know you know she's different from your past guests, so you'll have to be extra careful when you're around her. No sudden movements or she might panic."

"Okay, thanks Mom," I bring her into a hug as the door to Ana's room opens. Out steps Mia, then Kate who gives a comforting smile at Ana before she emerges. She's wearing a white business shirt she's swimming in and a pair of my athletic shorts. Her hair is braided and she looks beautiful once again. I give her a friendly smile and watch as she forms a lovely blush and looks away.

"Christian, we were talking about going shopping Saturday, would that be okay," Kate questions.

"Oh yes please," Mia slightly screeches causing Ana to jump. "We'll get you all sorts of outfits. You'll be even more beautiful!" Ana's face heats again and I just marvel at her innocence.

"That will be fine with me. We can bring Elliot too and make it a big outing." I see Ana's brow furrow in concern regarding my brother, but I know she'll like him the moment she meets him. The ladies hug Ana once more before hugging me and leaving.

"Supper is ready you two," Gail tells us as soon as they are gone. Ana and I head over to the island and she gingerly takes her seat beside me. I scoot away from her showing that I won't harm her. Gail brings us a BLT sandwich and chicken noodle soup. We dig in and I'm so happy Ana seems at ease with me now. Gail excuses herself while we continue to eat.

"I guess now would be a good time to tell you why I'm doing this." She looks up at me with her gorgeous blue eyes and nods. "I've always loved giving back to the community and programs world wide. I have enough money to share with those who need it."

"What do you do," she asks.

"I'm the CEO of Grey Enterprise and Holdings. I buy and sell companies around the world. I'm a billionaire so like I said, I have enough money to go around." Her eyes widen as I tell her this. She probably just thought I was some business guy who bought her for some sick desires. "About three years ago, I received an invitation to join a club called V. It was very secretive and was invitation only. I thought it was going to be like any other club and it was going to be a bunch of old guys hanging around and drinking. The first night I went, they showed me the back part of their business and that's when I found out they were a sex slave operation. I saw women chained against the walls and in cages. Men would come and auction on these women to do God only knows what to. I left saying I wasn't interested that night but I would come the next night they had new 'members'. I told my dad everything I saw. He's a lawyer so he would know how to handle this. He said I would have to gather enough evidence to shut these bastards down because I knew every man in there was armed and wouldn't go down without a fight if police busted in the doors. So I went the next night and bought my first guest, Savannah. She had been beaten and raped so I had Mom come over and evaluate her. I had her explain in video what all she saw and what had happened to her while she was with them, in detail. After about three months I got her a job and she moved out of my apartment into a house of her own. I then decided I needed to rescue another woman so I went back and bought Leigh. And that's how it started." She looks up at me in awe and urging me to continue. "That is what I do: you may stay here for as long as you like. If you want to get a job, I will help you find one. If you want to go to college, I'll pay for it. If you want your own apartment, I'll provide one. The only thing I asked for in return is your friendship and if we ever get those bastards to court, your testimony." I've walked her back to her room. "There is something else you need to know Ana. I never had a relationship other than friendship with my guests, it would feel wrong. The only type of physical contact we ever had was high fives and hugs." With that she flings her arms around my center and nuzzles her face into my chest. I hold her against me, reveling in the warmth of her body. She looks up at me with tears once again falling down her face.

"Thank you so much Christian. I will forever be grateful to you." I brush them away with my thumbs.

"You're so welcome Ana. I hope you rest well."

"You too." She walks into her room and before she shuts the door, her face beams with her beautiful smile. I grin all the way to my room where I collapse onto my bed for a restful night's sleep.
