CHAPTER 11
Later that day, Christian picked up the phone and called Ana after lunch. Ana picked up and said, "Hello, Christian, my sweet."
He smiled and said, "Baby, how has your day been?"
Ana giggled and said, "Good. I was going stir crazy without you. I saw you got my emails I sent. Barney just left and I went to a Four Seasons salon and got my haircut this morning."
He got serious and said, "No, not short I hope?"
Ana said giggling, "No. Just trimmed, evened out and conditioned. I did the full spa package this morning except my face and my skin feels great."
Christian said authoritatively, "Don't you wear yourself out now."
She giggled and said, "I won't. I am going grocery shopping for specific items for dinner tonight to surprise you." After a while they hung up saying goodbye.
Later on, she texted Christian and told him when he got home that she was cooking instead of Gail and he was going to be spoiled.
That evening, Ana made Roasted Leg of Lamb with onions, lemon and garlic over wild rice and roasted broccolini. She had an arugula, tomato, and herb side salad with homemade roasted garlic dressing.
Ana went into the kitchen and started preparing the ready dinner and warming up the plates in the warmer. She put out the salad and dressing on the table with the cutlery and dishes. Christian got a bottle of red wine to pair with the dish. They sat down together after he hugged and kissed, thanking her for cooking for him. The lamb was tenderly cooked falling apart and melting in your mouth. He was in heaven with every bite. After dinner, Ana told him she made him a special dessert and when he was ready to let her know.
They went into the living room and turned on the fireplace while drinking their wine laying on the sofa. Ana was rubbing her thumb back and forth on his forearm around her waist. Christian just laid there stroking her head on his chest as they stared into the flames. They were having a relaxing quiet moment of introspection.
Christian was thinking that New Year's Eve was going to be a blast with her by his side. He was so happy to have her with him and share every first time experience, like bringing in a new year with someone. It felt so very good to love and be loved back with just as much intensity. He had already bought an engagement ring for her with a blue diamond set in the middle of it. Christian knew it was way too soon but when it was time in a few months, he would ask her. He knew she was it for him and regretted nothing meeting her. Sex had never been more satisfying by letting him ease into a few things with her. Her being at work with him lowered his stress levels. He wondered what would happen if he did lose it at work with her there. He smiled at the thought.
Ana was thinking how fast they fell in love. They had met a little over seven weeks ago, two weeks passed before the car crash, then three three after the hospital, then two and a half weeks being around him at work. They had only been intimate for the last two and a half weeks. She never felt so deeply about anyone like she did for him. She loved having sex with him. He hadn't asked to tie her up yet, but spankings, a vibrator and hard fucking in every position possible was a lot of fun. She hoped he was satisfied with her. He was such a skilled sexually experienced man. She hoped she would be enough to fulfill him. She hadn't sat down and talk about the two and a half billion dollars she inherited after her three weeks away from him. She wanted to make several charitable contributions to disburse it to reliable sources. She needed to discuss it with him. She would have to pick the right time.

Elena was sitting with her legs crossed and up relaxed on her chaise lounge. She was dressed in her cream silk peignoir nightgown with an ostrich feather trim robe with matching high heel slippers of ostrich feathers over the open toe. She was in her living room having a cocktail and going over some fashion magazines. When there was a knock on the door. Elena got up and answered the door. She let in her late night visitor.
She had found out from Grace a few days ago that Christian and Ana were going to New York for New Year's Eve at the Knickerbocker Hotel. Only the very elite and wealthy can get in there, but… she figured perhaps someone can pose as staff and get in. She got information on what the staff wears to the events is the housekeeping and kitchen.

A few days later on very early Friday morning, Ana and Christian boarded his private jet to go to New York for New Year's Eve on Saturday Night. It was a three day weekend. They both sat down together at the table and got a coffee.
Christian asked her, "Have you ever been to New York City, Anastasia baby?"
Ana said while sipping her coffee, "No, I went through DC and some of the Marine and Naval bases, like Pendleton, Lejeune, Quantico and Fort Worth. I have been to others but it was basically passing through. Daddy retired when I was ten years old and then it was school for me as he went into business for us as a consultant."
Christian said, "I was just wondering. I'll take you out to wine and dine you tonight, baby." She kissed him on the lips.
She asked flirting curiously, "Any place special?"
He grinned at her and said, "It's a surprise. Afterwards, I thought you might want to go with me to an exclusive BDSM club that not everyone has seen?" Her interest was piqued.
She asked, "How would I dress in a place like that?"
He chuckled and said, "I got you covered. It's not to participate, only to show you. Besides, you need to look like a domme and me a dom. We can change in the limo after dinner and wear our coats." Ana thought, 'Wow, this will be a bit of a different experience tonight. I'll be strutting my stuff in a domme outfit with a fur coat on. Hmmm… that's hot.'
They ate breakfast on the jet, took a nap and made love in the jet's one bedroom with a private bathroom. The plane landed at LaGuardia airport and the limo was waiting out front of the terminal to take them to the Knickerbocker Hotel. He had arranged for an SUV for Taylor and Sawyer to follow.
By the time they got checked in, unpacked and settled in the hotel room it was 2:30 pm. They went down with security to the Knickerbocker Bar Grill to get lunch. They were sitting by the window looking out on the busy snowy day in New York Times Square. The streets were bustling with activity.
Christian asked curiously because she was smiling looking out on the street, "What are you thinking about, Anastasia?"
Ana looked back at him and said, "You are the best time I ever had. If I forget to thank you after such a good time, I'll do it now." He smiled at her, surprised at her never failing to tell him she is glad to be with him.
He slyly said, "You're welcome. Can I have a bite of your cuban?"
She giggled and said, "I think you like tasting your food and mine too." She handed her sandwich and plate to him to give him a bite.
They went up to the room and relaxed for a little while watching TV. Christian got up and pulled out a couple boxes and sat them on the bed in front of Ana. She smiled at him and said, "Is this the dominatrix outfit?" He grinned and nodded.
Ana pulled out the black leather and lace under bust Victorian corset with a semi see-through, off the shoulder, tight long sleeve black lace blouse. There were fishnet stockings with a lace garterbelt, high cut leather panties and thigh high high heel boots. There was even a black leather riding crop. Ana had a fit of giggles pulling out the pieces. Christian was sitting next to her smiling at her.
Ana said after collecting herself together, "You want to fuck me in these boots don't you?"
Christian cut his eyes looking at her in a sly way and said, "You're getting to know me too well."
She laughed and said, "If you're a good boy, I might fuck you twice in them." He kissed her on the lips.
He said caressing her chin, "You make everything so much more fun. I love your adventurous spirit, baby."
Ana said, "Only with you, Christian. I only trust you." He kissed her again.
Ana said smiling, "I guess I'm wearing some of this under my dress for dinner tonight? I can see the fishnet stockings, panties and garterbelt."
He said while she put the items back in the boxes, "We'll take the rest in the limo with my Dom clothes. We will change in the back. The tinted windows and privacy screen will be up."

Later on, Ana was dressed in a dark blue velvet bodycon dress, trimmed in black lace around the cuffs, the off the shoulder neckline and the hem of the midi length dress. She had matching Manolo Blahnik Hangisi 90 embellished velvet pumps. Her hair was down and curled and she had on a sapphire diamond set of jewelry. She did her eyes in a dramatic smokey eyes with dark to light blue eyeshadow. She figured it would go well with the dominatrix outfit too. She of course had the panties, fishnets and garter belt underneath.
Christian was in a Tom Ford dark gray suit with a satin gray tie and Prada Saffiano leather Oxford shoes. He got their coats. He wore a black Paul Stuart Double Breasted Military Style Wool Coat and Ana wore her Donna Slayer's Arctic Wolf faux fur full length coat.
They left the room and went down to the SUV waiting outside. People were looking at them as they crossed the lobby. Ana noticed a woman in a housekeeping outfit frowning at her as they left. She thought it was unusual but blew it off.
They got to the restaurant Le Bernardin on West 51st Street and had reservations. They checked their coats and were seated immediately. They got the tasting menu and had eight courses paired with different wines. At the end of their meal, they were eating the Peruvian dark chocolate tart with Tahitian vanilla ice cream. Christian was kissing her and making her giggle with chocolate on their lips. She said looking in his eyes, "You're both my favorite two things together. I do love the taste of your lips with chocolate on them."
He said, "I love when you taste them.
When they finished eating, they got in the back of the SUV and put up the privacy screen and started changing clothes. Christian got dressed in his black leather tight pants, a black leather men's tight sleeveless tank top with a vee neck and laced up the sides. He changed his shoes into black biker boots and put on a black leather chest harness. Ana was staring at him and wanting to eat him whole. You could see every muscle move through the leather in the sparse light that reflected from outside the vehicle.
Once they were dressed, Christian pulled out a gold diamond studded bracelet with a diamond studded lock with a key. It was elegant and very pretty. It was engraved inside with Christian's full name.
Christian said nervously, "This means that you belong to me." He then pulled out a black leather bracelet with a silver lock on it with diamond studs on the lock. The small keys to each were on two different long thin chains. Inside the bracelet that Christian had, Ana's full name was on a silver plaque engraved.
Ana said, smiling at him, "And this one means you belong to me, right?"
He blushed and said, "Of course, it does. Always." He kissed her. She put out her hand and he locked it on her wrist putting the chain around his neck. She did the same.
Ana said softly, "I love you, Christian Grey."
He said, "I love you too, baby. This is the last touch." He pulled out two masks. Hers was a half all black lace fancy mask and his was a regular black stain half mask. She had tied her hair up in a high long ponytail. Once they had their coats on, they were ready to go.
Taylor and Sawyer dropped them off in front of The Elite Club. Christian had told Ana about it. It was a private members only BDSM fetish club with multiple rooms for viewing scenes and many rooms for private affairs. Members can only bring one guest.
They got out of the vehicle and Christian helped Ana out. They walked up the stairs of a very old beautiful Victorian mansion. It had spires and fancy moldings and scrollwork. A beautiful building. As they went to the front door, Christian had to show the concierge his membership and ID with bodyguards stationed beyond the door. Ana saw fancy antique furniture and decor mixed with art deco influences.
They walked into the vestibule and were led to the coat check. They were then led down to the basement in the center of the house that was down a fancy mahogany balustrade of the sweeping grand staircase.
