Chapter 12: An Unexpected Guest

APOV

The sun is shining bright when I wake up. I turn and Christian is already sitting up checking email on his laptop. "Good morning, baby. How are you feeling?"

I smile at him, "Good but sore." I stretch my arms.

He frowns, "I'm sorry." I giggle and smile, "I'm not."

"Miss Steele, you are one dirty girl." He leans forward to kiss me. Even in the morning he smells good.

I give him a mischievous smile. "What are you going to do about it?"

"Oh, Anastasia. Just you wait." Next thing I know Christian is on top of me taking his pajama pants off. He's kissing me and my hands are in his hair. He reaches between my legs, "Ana, you're so wet already." He rubs the tip of his cock up and down my slit teasing me. "Is this what you want?" I wrap my legs around his hips and try to push him into me and nod my head. We spend the next hour making slow love to each other being as close as two people can get.

Afterward he spanks my butt, "Get in the shower. We can go get breakfast. I'm starving."

We're in his huge marble tiled shower. Christian shampoos my hair and rinses it. He stands behind me and begins to kiss my neck. He reaches around my front and caresses my breasts. He rolls my nipples between his thumb and forefinger. In response I back into his ever-growing erection. He moves his right hand down and starts to massage my clit while his left hand continues to fondle my breast. Just when I think I can't hold on any longer he stops and tells me to bend over and hold onto the shelf. From behind me he spreads my legs. The next thing I know he is inside of me pushing in and out with ardent need. The pounding is relentless but so good. The only sounds are our mixed moans and grunts. Slowly I start to feel that buildup inside of me that I am growing to love. "Christian, please faster! I'm almost there." He grabs onto my hair and slams into me harder and faster.

"Let go, Ana!" With that I come hard yelling some kind of version of Christian's name. He finishes soon after, "Yes! Oh my God, Ana!" We stay like that with him still inside of me until we can catch our breath.

We get out of the shower and I wrap his robe around me. And I search his room for my dress. "Christian, where is my dress?"

"I had it sent to be cleaned. I didn't think you'd want to wear it today."

I look at him confused. Didn't he just say he wanted to go out for breakfast? He smiles and looks contrite. "Don't get mad. But I had Taylor go and get you some clothes this morning."

"This morning? How? It's Sunday?"

He gives me his megawatt smile. "Sometimes it's good to be me." He then goes to his closet, opens the door, and shows me the spot where he has a wardrobe for me. It's a complete wardrobe including shoes, evening wear, and accessories.

"Christian, this. This is too much." He must have spent thousands on this.

"Trust me, Anastasia. It's not. Doing this for you makes me happy. Now get your sexy little ass dressed or we won't be able to make it to dinner."

Breakfast was ordinarily amazing. I'm still at a loss as to why suddenly I want this. I've done almost a complete 180 and the only thing different is Ana.

I back into one of my spots in the garage at Escala. I go around to open the door for Ana. She looks up at me and smiles and something inside of me just needs to be close to her and not let her go. I can't describe what I'm feeling but it's such an urgent need.

"Come here." I take her and sit her on the hood of my car and stand between her legs. I stare into her eyes holding her face in my hands and I kiss her. I don't want to let go. This isn't just lust or desire - it's something more but I can't place it. I lose myself in this feeling, in Ana.

"Christian?" I hear my name and I know that voice. I stop kissing Ana and look one to where the voice had come from. It's my mother.

"Mom. Um, hi. I didn't expect you." Ana is looking at me and I can tell she's trying to stifle a smile. Why do I feel like a 10 year old caught with his hand in the cookie jar?

Mom looks shocked but I can't tell whether it's good or bad. "No, Christian, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. I had to drop something off at the hospital and wanted to see if you'd like to have lunch."

This isn't the first time my mother had stopped by and I had someone over. I just his it the other times. But this time I am happy. I want my mom to meet Ana. "Mom, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Anastasia Steele. Ana, this is my mother, Dr. Grace Trevelyan-Grey."

Ana gets off the hood and reaches out for my mother's hand. "Dr. Trevelyan-Grey, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Please, Ana, call me Grace." My mom suddenly pulls Ana into a big hug. "I am so pleased to meet you."

"Mom, we just ate breakfast but come upstairs for some coffee." We're in my kitchen with Ana and my mom sitting at the breakfast bar. I hand a cup of coffee to my mom and a cup of Twinings English Breakfast tea to Ana. She gives my a small smile and I wink at her.

"So, Christian, Anastasia, how did you meet?" My mother timidly asks. She knows my temper and is afraid to set me off. I walk over to Ana put my arm around her shoulders.

"Ana is Kate's best friend and roommate."

My mom smiles. She and Kate have very different personalities but my mom loves that she makes Elliot happy and has calmed him down. "So, Ana, you recently graduated as well them?"

"Yes. I have my degree in English literature and am currently working at SIP as an editorial assistant."

I can't believe this just happened. I'm in shock. I get in my car but before I can start it I need to make a call.

"Gracie, everything ok?"

"Oh, Carry, I can't believe it." My voice starts to crack and tears fall but they are happy tears. "It's Christian."

"Christian? What's wrong?" Carrick sounds concerned.

"Nothing bad, I promise. He's found someone."

"Found someone?" Of course he's confused. We never thought this day would come.

"He has a girlfriend. He's in love. I don't think he even knows it yet but a mother knows these things. I'll be home soon. I just had to tell you."

"See you soon, Gracie."
