CHARITY BALL
CHAPTER VII
I enter into
Taylor office unmistakably contained and with supremely powerful confidence.
“Mr. Grey,” says
Taylor by the way of greeting me. Then he turns the other three men, and, “Gentlemen,
this is Mr. Grey,” he says. Then turns to introduce each member of the new
security detail before me as I hold them under the scrutiny of my cold gaze.
“Mr. Grey, this
is Sawyer,” he says indicating a square jawed man with brown hair, sharp blue
eyes, about 6’2”, under 30 and in good shape. Sawyer thrusts his hand out to
me, and I meet him with an equally firm grip. “Sir,” he says. Sawyer sizes up.
Then Taylor
turns to another man who has dark olive skin, brown eyes, and about as tall as
Sawyer, but more muscular, and introduces him, “this is Ryan, sir.” Ryan
is a decorated ex-navy seal, with private high profile security training, nods
at me with his piercing eyes, “Sir,” he says. The last man in the group is the
shortest of them all; about 6’ tall, lean, his blonde hair trimmed military
style. His file indicated that he was also military, involved in Black Ops, and
he comes highly recommended. He has a wiry look and an animal grace. As he
walks from the other side to meet me without leaving my gaze, I sense his
predatory presence.
Pointing at him
with his hand, Taylor introduces him, “Sir, this is Reynolds.” His hand shake is
both assessing me, as well as giving reassurance to his capabilities.
I meet each of
their gaze level. I briefly look at Taylor asking him with my gaze if he had
explained what their job entailed. He gives me a barely noticeable nod. He has.
I go into topic
without a preamble.
“Gentlemen!
Here’s what I require and expect at all times: I’m the top authority in every
move you make while you work for me. I’m your god, your boss, the authority you
submit to before anything or anyone else! I say ‘jump’ and you don’t ask
questions, just do the fucking job ask of you! Even hesitating to obey a single
order from me will cause your immediate dismissal! You will forget your wives,
your girlfriends, you family and any of your other personal obligations while
you work for me until this problem is resolved! You all come with high
recommendations, but it doesn’t mean jack shit to me if you can’t, won’t,
unable or unwilling to perform what I ask! I hire you for your skills, and intuition
and I want utmost professionalism, stealth, and above all, absolute security,
and I will pay you well for those services. I expect protection 24/7 round the
clock. Don’t sign up if you are unwilling or incapable of providing what I
ask.” Then I look around with steel gaze into each of their eyes.
“Sawyer, are my
terms acceptable to you?”
He answers
without hesitation, “Yes, sir!”
“Ryan, are my
terms acceptable to you?”
Ryan is as
determined as Sawyer, “Yes, sir!”
I turn the last
man in the group.
“Reynolds, are
these terms acceptable to you?”
“Yes, sir!” he
says without leaving his gaze off mine.
“Great! You were
each shown a picture of the woman who is missing, and stalking me and my
girlfriend. Assume that she’s armed and dangerous. However, do NOT
injure her if you were to run into her. Safely capture her, and I’m to be
informed immediately. I trust that men who have been to wars such as
yourselves, can deal with a little girl!” The men shift uncomfortably with that
assessment. They don’t want to appear weak to their boss.
“Sawyer!”
“Sir!” he
responds immediately.
“I want you to
memorize the face of Leila Hanson. In fact, I want all of you to commit her
face to memory as you will all be looking for her. And, Sawyer!”
“Sir,” he
responds.
“You’ll be the
private security detail for my girlfriend, Miss Steele. You will follow her
like her shadow. You are NOT
to leave her out of your sight. Where she goes, you go. She will challenge
you,” I say remembering all the tricks Anastasia can pull out of her sleeves.
“She might even beg you, or try to convince you that she’s okay and safe. My
orders remain the same. What she asks, doesn’t count. You are not to leave her
side regardless of what she says or how she says it. Your orders come from me
and me alone! I may sometime convey my orders through Taylor. He’s the other
person you will respond to. Taylor will explain the rest of your duties to all
of you as well as where and how you should look for Leila.”
They know that
I’m the Alpha of this den, and I have all their attention. It’s their superior
speaking.
“Sawyer, you are
coming to provide security along with Taylor tonight in the same vehicle as
Taylor,” I say.
“Yes, sir!”
“I’ll leave the
rest to Taylor to instruct you on your duties,” I say as Taylor nods at me.
“Gentlemen,” I
say, and then turn to Taylor, and when we lock gazes, he knows I want to see
him, and we leave his office together as he says, “I’ll be back in a few
minutes”.
Once we are out
of his office, and out of everyone’s earshot, I turn to him abruptly and say,
“I need you to get me a bright red lipstick if you can find one right now.”
His eyebrows
shot up, but since this is not the strangest thing I’ve asked him to provide me
in the years he’s worked for me, he nods and as my request registers, and replies
“yes, sir,” then walks in the direction of his supply room. It makes me wonder
what else he’s keeping there, but that’s one of the reasons I’ve hired him,
because he is capable of doing what is asked of him, without a second thought. I
have been thinking of Anastasia’s road map idea, and I want to draw the
boundaries where she can and can’t touch. That way I can compromise a little
bit without completely either blocking her or breaking my hard limits. I can compromise for Anastasia, and for her alone. (←No Ordinary Love
by Sade)
Taylor’s back in less than two minutes
with an unopened tube of lipstick. I unscrew the cap, and twist the bottom. Out
comes the unused tube harlot red lipstick. I nod in response with an impassive
face, and leave as Taylor turns to go back to his office with an expression
matching mine.
I make my way
back to Anastasia’s room and find her sprawled on her bed and looking into her
monitor intently reading what must be a fascinating piece. I stand at the door
to observe her first. She doesn’t notice me. “What are you doing?” I ask
softly, my previous anger subdued.
Panic crosses
her eyes briefly, and I wonder if she’s corresponding with someone else. Some
other guy? I quickly try to wipe the thought away. I walk in and casually lie
down next to her and look at her Mac’s screen. The website reads: Multiple
Personality Disorder: The Symptoms. Both relief and amusement floods through
me. There could only be one reason she’s searching into it: Me. But I can’t let it go without teasing her.
“Are you on this
website for a particular reason?” I ask casually. She glances at me sideways to
assess my mood. She gets on her passive face on and responds, “Research. Into a
difficult personality.”
Her response
suddenly makes me want to smile. For some odd reason, it makes me happy that
she’s making efforts to understand me. “A difficult personality?” I ask.
“A pet project
of mine,” she replies again with a deadpan expression.
I couldn’t help
but tease her on this sounding wounded, “You think of me as a pet project
Anastasia? A sideline, perhaps. Maybe even a science experiment. Here I was
thinking that I was everything to you. Miss Steele, you wound me.”
“What makes you
think it’s you?” she asks.
“Just a wild
guess,” I say grinning.
“Well, Mr. Grey,
it’s true that you’re the only fucked-up mercurial, control freak I know
intimately,” she responds.
“Miss Steele, I
thought I was the only person you know intimately,” I say jealousy creeping up.
She blushes,
“yes, you are,” she replies quietly.
“Well, has the
article helped you to reach any conclusions about me?” I ask. She turns
sideways and gazes at me for some time, and I watch her on my side holding
myself up, gazing back at her with an amused expression.
“It has,” she
replies. “Mr. Grey, I believe you are in need of intense therapy,” she says
half joking, but knowing its Anastasia, she might just mean it. I reach up to her,
caress her cheek with my knuckles as she closes her eyes, and leans into my
touch instinctively. Her hair falls on her face, and I tuck it in behind her ear. (←At Last by Etta
James)
“I’m only in
need of you Anastasia,” I say. Then I say “here,” handing her the bright red
lipstick. She looks at it confused. Then she looks back at me frowning. She
opens the tube, and twists the lipstick, and out comes the harlot red,
fuck-me-now color lipstick, clearly deciding that it’s not her color.
“You want me to
wear this... color?” she squeaks making me laugh.
“No, baby, I
don’t! Well, not unless you want to. But I’m sure it’s not your color,” I add.
Then I sit up on
the bed cross legged, and then pull my shirt off. “I was thinking of your road
map idea, and I think I’ll let you draw...” I say as she stares at me with
blank expression-like lights are on, and Anastasia just stepped out. She shakes
her head, reentering back into her body, gulping, unable to believe that I’d
let her do that.
“Huh?” she says
as her chest is rapidly rising and falling with disbelief.
“The no-go map,”
I say.
“I was only
kidding,” she breathes.
“I’m not,” I say
determined.
“You want me to
draw on you with lipstick?” she asks showing the lipstick in her hand.
“That’s exactly
what I want you to do. It washes off.”
With my
confirmation, she smiles, and her smile grows into a wondrous sweet grin.
“What about
something more permanent like a Sharpie?” she asks.
“If you want
something even more permanent, I could always get a tattoo,” I say joking.
No! No tattoos!”
she laughs.
“Alright, we’ll
stick with the lipstick then,” I say happily.
She shuts the
screen down and effectively closing her laptop, she pushes it away. “Come,” I
say as I hold my hand out to Anastasia. “I want you to sit on me,” I say.
She takes her
shoes off as I lie on her bed, and bend my knees. She crawls over me in a
sitting position. I make her lean against my legs. It’s a very suggestive
position if we were having sex as she sits astride me. I'm turned on but, I’m also apprehensive. It’s been quite some time I’ve let anyone touch me where I’m going to let
her touch. Anastasia however is beaming with excitement.
“You seem quite
enthusiastic about this,” I observe.
“I’m always
eager for information, Mr. Grey. Because it means you’ll relax around me, and
I’ll know where the boundaries lie,” she explains. I can’t believe I’m going to
let her to draw all over me with bright fuck-me red lipstick! Well, I don’t
mind the fuck-me part, but with a lipstick! I draw in a breath to steady myself.
I’m nervous, and all the old fears and apprehension come to surface, but I
shove them down almost forcefully. I hate bending my rules. But to make my
relationship work with Anastasia, I have to try this and show her the
boundaries. It bothered me that I allowed Elena touch me, and Anastasia, the
woman I’m in love with, can’t! I’m about to change this. Okay, steady... I
remind myself. I swallow. (←Is This Love by
Whitesnake)
“Open the
lipstick,” I command. She takes the lid off, and twists the bottom and the
lipstick shows its harlot red color.
“Give me your
hand,” I say, but with her excitement Anastasia extends her other hand. Rolling
my eyes at her, I say, “the one with the lipstick.”
“Are you rolling
your eyes at me Mr. Grey?” she asks.
“Yep,” I smile.
“That’s very
rude, you know. There are some people who tend to get positively violent at
eye-rolling,” she says sarcastically.
“Do you now?” I
ask her devilishly. I take her hand with the lipstick and immediately sit up.
It’s now or never. I have to get through it before I change my mind. My heart
is throbbing as if’s ready to take off like the space shuttle. I take in a
strong breath. Let it out, and steady myself.
“Ready?” I ask
her in a low voice, but it’s also a question to myself, loudly assuring myself
that it’s okay for Anastasia to touch me that way.
“Yes,” she
whispers in an equally low voice to match mine. I close my eyes, and inhale
Anastasia’s womanly scent. Then open them up and look into her eyes. Slowly I
guide her hand up to the curve of my shoulder.
“Press down,” I
breathe and guide her hand downwards from the top of my shoulder, right around
my arm socket then down to the side of my chest marking one side of the
territory in red. It’s a declaration of where to stop, where to never cross,
like two hostile countries’ borders. One is safe, and one is deadly. I keep her
hand moving steadily despite the level of my anxiety, and I make her stop at
the bottom of my ribcage and going sideways across my stomach. At this point
her hand is too close to the danger zone for my comfort and I immediately tense
up. Some horrible memories rise up in me. Briefly, I’m lost to my current self,
and back into the body of the little unkempt boy I had been. I see the angry face
of the pimp, with him leaning in as he blew his smoke rather forcefully in my
face and the stale cocktail of alcohol and cigarettes mixed in his nasty breath
coming down. Bile rises in my throat, and I realize that I’m holding my breath.
Then I take a lungful of air as I inhale Anastasia’s soapy, clean, outdoors and
womanly scent, letting it me like a ton of brick wall shattering the images of the
pimp.
I try to get my bearing, and keep my expression blank with a lot of effort. (←Courage by The Dirty Guv’Nahs)
I grit my teeth
straining my jaw, and tension rises in my eyes, as I can barely whisper, “and
up the other side.” I release her hand at this point.
She continues
the line in the same fashion mirroring the opposite side she’s drawn. My chest
rises up and down in rapid succession trying to accommodate my heart that is
trying to lurch out of my chest as I make a Herculean effort to remain calm. When
Anastasia manages to connect the lines from both sides of my torso in the
front, she finally says, “There, done,” in a whisper.
“No, you’re
not,” I reply her declaration. I draw the line with my index finger on the base
of my throat next so that she can follow the imaginary line I’ve drawn with the bright
red lipstick. As the strange rectangular box completed in the front of my
torso, Anastasia gazes into my eyes with wonder and devotion. I have to keep
going while I can. “Now my back,” I murmur as I shift, and she climbs off me. I
turn my back to her on the bed still cross-legged.
“Follow the line
from my chest, all the way around to the other side,” I say in a low voice with
barely contained emotion. I feel the lipstick gliding on the dangerous borders
of my go and no-go territories. I keep my head down; my body is tense as if
it’s a time bomb ready to explode. My toes are curled in and tight. My knuckles
are fisted tightly, strained and white as all the blood is drawn from my hands.
After what feels like forever, Anastasia murmurs “finished,” in a low voice. I
can finally let go of the tension and I slump against myself relaxing, and
turn to Anastasia to face her again.
“Those are your
boundaries,” I say to her quietly. My eyes are dilated with passion but also
with a form of freedom now that Anastasia knows where her boundaries lie. Fear
leaves me. She gazes at me with love and amazement.
“I can live with
those. Right now, Christian, I just want to launch myself at you,” she whispers
making me smile wickedly, and hold out my hands to her as in a supplication.
“Well, Miss
Steele, I’m all yours,” I breathe expectant. She gives a delightful squeal, and
just hurls herself into my arms, and I’m knocked flat on her bed. The shitty
morning I’ve had, and her inquisition and finally this stressful mapping, I’m
ready to lose myself in Anastasia. I feel elated with excitement, and rollover and get on top of her. (←Freak Me by Silk)
“Now, about that
rain check, Miss Steele,” I breathe into her mouth and claim her lips.
“God! I can’t
remember ever wanting you this much! Fuck! Scratch that, I always want you this
much!” I said into her mouth between kisses, nipping her lower lip. Her fingers
curl into my hair and pull me in passionately, ready to consume and devour me,
and I her. I have had just about all I can take without being inside her.
“You’re still
dressed,” I groan, and pull her, dragging her up, and attacking her t-shirt,
whipping it off before she can take a full breath, and throw it on the floor
unceremoniously.
“I want to feel
you,” I say hungrily against her mouth, and my hands move behind her to unhook
her bra, and with practiced move, I undo it, and take it off her and toss it
into the pile on the floor.
I push my woman
down onto the bed, getting on top of her, and claim her mouth and her breasts.
She digs her fingers into my hair, and pulls it closer to her as I capture one
of her nipples between my lips suck, and tug it with my teeth. She cries out in
response with pleasurable sensations vibrating through her body, and the sounds
she makes turn me on even further. “Yes, baby, let me hear you,” I murmur over
her sensitive skin.
I start nibbling
and sucking her nipples with my lips sensually, and pulling and tugging the
other with my expert fingers. She squirms under me, writhing. I just can’t get
enough of this goddess of a woman. I worship her with my body. I knead her
nipples, pulling and tugging. My hand moves down between her breasts, down to
her belly making strategic stops, making her writhe. As my hand reach to her
jeans, I undo her button and pull her zipper down, and my hand moves inside her
panties, and my fingers find and slide against her sex. My fingers find her
folds to be so wet for me, it makes me gasp.
“Oh, baby,” I
say hovering over her as I stare intently into her eyes, “you’re’ so wet for
me!”
“I want you,”
she murmurs.
Her declaration
is my undoing, and my lips cover hers and with a hunger for her, I want to
merge with her, feel her, and feel her want and desire for me. I need to know
we’re okay! I need to know she wants me and me alone! I need to fuck her right
now! I sit up, and pull her jeans down along with her panties, and toss them
onto the floor. She’s completely bared to me. Me alone! The thought that she’s
never been seen by someone else like this, to have, to claim raises the level
of proprietorship I feel towards her. I look at her with greedy eyes fixed on
hers. I take a packet of condom out of my jeans’ pocket and toss it at
Anastasia while sliding off my jeans and boxers.
Anastasia rips
the packet as I lie beside her. She looks into my eyes and with hands shaky in
delirious anticipation rolls the condom on my length. I grab Anastasia’s hands
and roll on to my back wanting her to be on top. “You. On top,” I order her,
and pull her to straddle on me. “I want to see you,” I say. It’s a big turn on
to see my woman come apart with pleasure; a pleasure only I can provide for
her, and something that feeds into my possessive self, making me hotter, and
more wanton for her!
I guide her, and
she sheaths every inch of me with her sex, sinking balls-deep, as I push up to
meet her sex in one fierce stab, filling and stretching her beyond limits. All
my synapses are on fire and every single cell on my cock is alert with
sensation making me exhale, and take another big gulp of air to accommodate the
need. As Anastasia on top of me, possessing me, and what I can give her, I too,
possess her sexually, emotionally and mentally. She’s completely mine! She
clenches around my length, and I slam forward, hard, thrusting, making her cry
out and moan with pleasure driving me crazy!
“That’s right,
baby, feel me,” I say in a strained voice. I own her right now! I’m in her;
possessing her most intimately, connected with her body and soul. Anastasia
tips her head back and moves up and down, over and over again, closing her
eyes.
“Open your eyes,
baby. I want to see my
Ana,” I whisper possessively.
“Yours,” she
says in a raspy voice, “always yours.”
With Anastasia
willingly giving me domination over her like this, consenting verbally makes me
groan loudly, tipping my head back, closing my eyes in intense pleasure,
getting me burst in the seams and Anastasia comes loudly collapsing on top of
me, causing me to be undone, and I find my own release, groaning, “Oh, baby!”
and finally holding her still in my arms.
After our
descent, Anastasia’s still lying on my chest with her head nestled on over the
forbidden zone. But, somehow, as she’s panting, and trying to catch her breath while
we are both still experiencing the aftershocks, I don’t seem to care. I just
smooth her hair, and run my hand down her back caressing her as I relax.
“You are so
beautiful,” murmur.
She lifts her
head and looks up disbelieving as if I’ve made a statement saying she’s grown
horns. Don’t doubt me baby! I frown and sit up so quickly she’s surprised, and
my arms sweeps around her to hold her in place, as she clutches my biceps and
we are nose to nose.
“You. Are.
Beautiful,” I say in an emphatic tone.
“And you are
amazingly sweet sometimes,” she says kissing me gently.
I lift her up,
and ease out of her as she winces. I’m too big, and she’s too tight. I lean
forward and kiss her. Anastasia is so innocently and beguilingly beautiful.
She’s irresistible to me. I have an unquenchable thirst for her.
“You have no
idea how attractive you are, do you?” I ask as she flushes, still disbelief
crosses her face.
“All those boys
pursuing you – that isn’t clue enough for you?”
“Boys? What
boys?” she asks unbelieving.
“You want the
list?” I ask frowning. Is she that obtuse to see what is going on around her?
“The photographer, he’s crazy about you, that boy in the hardware store, your
roommate’s older brother. Your boss,” I say finally bitterly. The others I can
keep away from her. But the last fucker is in charge of her eight hours a day
making me none too happy. Dominating my woman, ordering her around, and, she
obeying his commands however small! I’m fucking jealous! The thought of it is
making me crazy when I’m making concessions to give her more room to be free,
and some fucker is taking command of her, wanting into her panties, desiring
what’s mine.
“Oh, Christian,
that’s just not true,” she says.
“Trust me. They
want you. They want what’s mine,” I say fervently. I pull her against me, and
lift her arms against my shoulders wrapping them around, and she lifts her
hands into my hair, twisting.
“Mine,” I repeat possessively. (←I’m Yours by Jason
Mraz)
She has no idea what I feel! No idea
what I would do to keep her mine and keep others out of my way, who I have to
walk over, and fight with. No idea at all! What is mine is mine and she is mine
body and soul! She looks at me, and says “Yes, yours,” reassuring with her
smile, my anger subsides.
“The line is
still intact,” she murmurs and traces the mark on my shoulder with her index
finger. It’s so close to the forbidden zone, I stiffen immediately with tension
as if she’s going to jump the border, invade my territory. I blink to push the
fear down. “I want to go exploring,” she says confusing me.
“The apartment?”
I ask.
“No. I was
thinking of the treasure map that we’ve drawn on you,” she says dying to touch
me with longing. My eyebrows lift in surprise and I feel apprehensive,
uncertain, fearful even. She can be very persuasive in her own ways. She rubs
her nose against mine.
“And what would
that entail exactly, Miss Steele?” I ask. She lifts her hand from my shoulder,
from the border between safe and forbidden zone to my relief and run those
fingers down my face making me close my eyes and lean into her fingertips. Her
fingers reach over my lips, and I capture her index finger and bite gently.
“Ow,” she says making me grin and growl into acceptance of her request.
“Okay,” I acquiesce;
releasing her finger, but apprehension just runs through my blood. It’s been
years since anyone has touched me like this, and none of that was pleasant. But
when she holds her hand up hesitantly, I say “Wait,” I say leaning behind her
and lifting her up so I can remove the condom, and just toss it onto the floor
by the bed unceremoniously. They’re such an inconvenience.
“I hate those
things. I’ve a good mind to call Dr. Green to get over here to give you a
shot,” I say and I think that’s just what I’ll do.
“You think the
top gynecologist in Seattle is going to come running?”
“I can be very
persuasive,” I murmur as I gently tuck her hair behind her ear. She looks so
beautiful. Her new haircut makes her very elegant. “Franco’s done a great job
on your hair. I like these layers.”
“Stop changing
the subject,” she says.
I prop my knees
up, put her back on the straddling position and leaning her against my knees as
she positions her feet on either side of my hips. I lean back on my arms
completely surrendering though not without a lot of reserved apprehension.
“Touch away,” I say ineffectively concealing my nervousness.
She locks her
gaze with me, and reach down making her intention clear. Her fingers visit the
lipstick line across my abdominal muscles first and the close proximity of her
fingers to the forbidden zone makes me involuntarily flinch hard, and she stops
on her tracks.
Realizing how
difficult of a task this is for me, she is reticent. “I don’t have to,” she
whispers.
“No, it’s fine. Just takes some...” I say trying to steady my breathing trying to adjust, “readjustment on my part. No one’s touched me for a long time,” I murmur. (←My Touch / I’m Yours by
The Scripts)
“Mrs. Robinson?”
she blurts out. I know the topic is a hard one for her, so my only response is
a nod, with discomfort. “I don’t want to talk about her. It will sour your good
mood,” I say. She’s jealous of what I had with Mrs. R though there is nothing I
can do to change that. My past is part of me, but I’m extremely glad she
doesn’t have one. I can’t even handle the advances of other men make towards
her which I can prevent. I’d go crazy if I knew there were men who touched her,
fucked her, loved her like I do!
“I can handle
it,” she says. God! That’s the overstatement of the century!
“No, you can’t,
Ana. You see red whenever I mention her. My past is my past. It’s a fact. I
can’t change it. I’m lucky that you don’t have one, because it would drive me
crazy if you did,” which is odd for me to feel this strongly, because I’ve had
fifteen different subs, and every single one of them had a past. I really cared
nothing about it. But with Anastasia, all bets are off. I care about everything
she’s done, doing, or will do. It makes me insanely jealous, and I become a
bigger control freak when it comes to her.
She frowns at
me. “Drive you crazy? More than you are already?” she smiles making me smile
back at her in return. “Crazy for you,” I whisper. (←Crazy For You by Madonna)
And
that’s the truth. I will do anything for her to keep her in my life easy way,
hard way, anyway.
“Shall I call
Dr. Flynn?” she asks concerned. Really?
“I don’t think
that will be necessary,” I respond dryly.
She shifts back
and I drop my legs to give her room to move back. She’s gloriously naked on top
of me; her breasts are perfect perky mounds moving in synchronization with her
movements making me thank all the gods of the universe for sending this woman
to my way! She places her fingers back on my stomach again, and she slowly
drifts them across my skin paying attention to remain on the borders. Meanwhile
my heart is like the wings of a hummingbird, chasing something and never being
able to get out of my chest with a mixture of fear, apprehension and
excitement.
“I like touching
you,” she whispers as she slides her fingers down to my navel onto my happy
trail. Now you’re talking! My cock twitches to attention with her fingers
approaching with anticipation. My lips part and my breathing changes into one
of sensual, and finally my erection stirs and salutes into attention beneath
Anastasia.
“Oh, yes, Miss
Steele, again,” I say giving my salacious smile. This time I roll her beneath
me. My erection is notched between the blooms of her sex and I tease her back
and forth rocking against her. Her skin is getting hot as if she’s licked by
fire. I push her legs further open and drive my full length into her sinking
deep as she lifts her pelvis up to meet and match my passion for her, and we continue our bed tango until we are both fully exhausted. (←Spanish Tango from the Mask of Zorro)
After a
leisurely, but rather passionately spent Saturday afternoon, I leave Anastasia
to rest in her room making my way back to my room to take a shower. My mind is
constantly on Anastasia. I’m shocked and surprised at the concession I made for
her, but also equally delighted with the results. We’ve crossed a major hurdle.
I make my way
into my bathroom, and check myself in the mirror scrunching my chin. I might
need a shave, and seeing that I have to be my most presentable self, I quickly
get that task done. After turning the water hot, I walk into the large shower
and bask myself in hot water. I feel as if a chip falling away from the emotional
pile of shit that I’ve been hauling around most my life with what I managed to
do for Anastasia this afternoon. It’s not everything, but it is still
something. I go through the motions quickly as if I have a treasure waiting in
a different room. I take a plush towel from the towel warmer, and dry myself. I
go to my closet and choose the suit I am going to be wearing tonight. The
charity event is formal and black tie, so I choose my black tux. I put a crisp
white shirt on and after putting my boxers I put my black suit pants on. I
don’t need to put my tie on yet, so the collar of my shirt is still open. I
gaze myself in the mirror. The top of the crimson lipstick line is still
visible even after a couple of rumps in Anastasia’s bed, a shower and drying
with towels. I smile. I have a mischievous but rather erotic plan to spice up
this evening. Shocking my girlfriend with sensual games is the icing on the cake. (Passion del Tango)
I go to a
dresser and open it. I grab the small box in it I’ve stored last Saturday, and
gazing at it emotionally, I put it into my pocket.
Then I make my
way to my playroom, and unlock the door. I walk further down into the room and
find the drawers where I keep the toys I’ve purchased to use on Anastasia.
“Aha! There you
are...” I say and grab what I’m looking for. With a smirk on my face, I close
the playroom’s door, and lock it. I make my way back to Anastasia’s room, and
feel my breath escape my lungs in a whoosh as if hit a brick wall with the
sight of her before me. She is in the black bustier corset with silver filigree
trim with the briefest black panties matching her corset. She’s also put on her
silk thigh-high stockings with clipped garter. She reaches down and rather
gracefully picks her dress up. I’m on fucking fire with the amazing sight
before me! I am completely immobile, gawking at her, voraciously hungry for
her. She feels my presence and turns to me blushing. She takes in all of me in my
evening outfit, appraising.
“Can I help you,
Mr. Grey? I assume there is some purpose to your visit other than to gawk
mindlessly at me,” she says witty.
“I am rather
enjoying my mindless gawk, Anastasia, thank you,” I murmur as my eyes trying to
take her all in, drinking in her beauty. “Remind me to send a personal thank
you note to Caroline Acton,” I say and she immediately frowns upon hearing a
woman’s name.
“The personal
shopper at Neiman Marcus’s,” I say in answering her unasked question.
“Oh.”
“I’m quite
distracted,” I say.
“I can see that.
What do you want Christian?” she asks in a no non-sense voice.
I smile and my
grin gets bigger as I dig my hands into my pocket and bring out the silver
balls out of it effectively stopping her in her tracks. She looks at me as if I
want to put them in and spank her right away. Well, I do want to do those
things but, but I have to restrain myself about spanking. I do, however want to fuck her brains out during the charity event after I extract these balls out of her. (←Tonight by Enrico Iglesias ft. Ludacris)
“It’s not what
you think,” I say quickly.
“Enlighten me,”
she whispers.
“I thought you
could wear these tonight,” I say.
“To this event?”
she asks to clarify.
I nod and my
eyes darken with anticipation.
“Will you spank
me later?” Of course not!
“No,” I reply
softly and her face falls in disappointment making me chuckle.
“You want me
to?” I ask.
She swallows.
She’s indecisive and indecisive is not good. That is a territory I’m not
willing to enter.
“Well, rest
assured I’m not going to touch you like that, not even if you beg me,” I say.
She continues to
gaze at me.
“Do you want to
play this game?” I ask holding up the balls from the string. “You can always
take them out if it’s too much,” I say trying to coax her into agreement.
She gazes at me
up and down, deciding she likes what she sees, “Okay,” she agrees.
“Good girl,” I
say grinning. “Come here, and I’ll put them in, once you’ve put your shoes on,”
I reply. Stilettos are a major turn on for me. But more importantly, they’ll
raise her heels several inches off the ground and giving me easier access to
her sex.
I hold my hand
out to Anastasia, and she steps into her sexy Christian Louboutin five inch stilettos.
I take her hand and lead her to the bedside and walk to the corner of the room,
and grab the only chair there, and bring it beside the bed. Turning the back of
the chair towards the bed, I place it in front of her.
“When I nod, you
bend down and hold on to the chair. Do you understand?” I ask in a husky desire
laden voice.
“Yes,” she
breathes.
“Good, now open
your mouth,” I say, and as she opens it, I slip my index finger into it.
“Suck,” I say
surprising her. I then put the balls into my mouth, and as she sucks my
finger...hard, the action fuels my desire for her, salivating me, and I’m able
to heat and lubricate the balls in my mouth. I try to withdraw my finger, but
she clamps her teeth down. Though it’s playful and makes me grin, I shake my head
regaining control of the action, effectively making her let go. I nod, and she
bends down grasping the sides of the chair. As she bends down, her perfect
round orbs of derrière are presented in the most luscious way. I move her
panties to the side and slowly slide a finger into her, circling and making her
natural lubrication coat the insides of her sex. My finger travels on all sides
of her vagina walls, swirling in a rhythm.
She moans in pleasure. She’s perfectly wet.
I finally
withdraw my finger and insert one ball at a time pushing them deep inside her.
Once I know they’re in correct position, I smooth her panties back into place,
and lean down kissing her backsides. I run both my hands on her legs down from
her ankles to her thighs, finally kissing the top of each of her thighs.
“You have fine,
exquisite legs, Miss Steele,” I murmur in adoration. I stand behind her, and
grasp her hips and pull her behind against my straining erection, making her
feel me.
“Maybe I’ll have
you this way when we get home, Anastasia. You can stand now,” I say and let her
stand erect. Once she stands up, I lean down and kiss her shoulders.
After she stands up
her back to me, I wrap my arm around her from the back, and present her with
the box in my pocket. “I bought these for you to wear last Saturday’s gala,” as
I hold the small red Cartier box out to her. “But you left me,” I say almost
choking on my words. I wait a second to let the wavering pass from my voice,
and say, “so I never had the opportunity to give them to you.”
“So this is my
second chance,” I murmur in a low voice, trying to swallow and bury down the
pain I had endured in her absence.
Anastasia
reaches for the box, and opens it. There is a pair of drop earrings with four
diamonds on each; one at the base, then a gap, then three perfectly spaced
diamonds hanging one after the other. They’re simple with subtle elegance.
“They’re
lovely,” whispers Anastasia. “Thank you.”
I relax out of
the tension I didn’t know I was holding, and I kiss her shoulder.
“You’re wearing
the silver satin dress?” I ask.
“Yes. Is that
okay?” she asks.
“Of course. I’ll
let you get ready,” I say keeping whatever manly dignity I have left without
choking on my words before her.
I make my way
back into my room, and tie the black bow tie elegantly, and put the jacket of
my black dinner suit. I come out, and Taylor is waiting to be briefed for the
evening.
“Sir, everyone’s
ready for your orders.” I nod. “Get them here,” I say.
Taylor walks
back in with Reynolds, Ryan, and Sawyer.
“We’re attending
to a charity event this evening at my parents’ house. There’ll be a lot of high
profile guests. It’s going to be a masked ball, so it may be nearly impossible
to identify the individual behind the mask until the mask comes out. I want you
to be all inconspicuous but extremely vigilant. Taylor and Sawyer, you will
follow Miss Steele at all times. I should be with her all evening, but it is
possible that we may get separated. If anyone approaches her and I’m not with
her, you are to call me Taylor. I don’t care who it is. The only exception to
that would be my parents and my sister, but even if she is with them and there
is any sign of distress in her, you will call me. If it is someone you don’t
know, just escort Miss Steele, and find me.”
Taylor and
Sawyer respond, “Yes, sir,” both at the same time.
Then I turn to
Ryan and Reynolds.
“Ryan and
Reynolds!” I say and they both automatically snap to attention. “You are
responsible following me and securing the parameters at...” I say and see the
gazes of all three men who are facing me suddenly snap up and each one of them
have the exact carnal appreciation in their gazes. I know Anastasia is standing
somewhere in the room. I turn around, and my mouth goes dry with the sight of
her. She is standing by the entry with her hair falling in soft waves around
her face, spilling over her shoulder and her breasts. One side of her hair is
tucked behind her ear smartly revealing one of the earrings. Her make-up is
subtle and immaculate. She is wearing the strapless, floor-length silver satin
gown and the dress is hugging her in all the right places as if someone has
poured it on her. She looks much taller with her stilettos.
I forget my
company and leave my words hanging in the air and just stroll towards her as if
my sun is calling me. I take all of her in as she is gazing at me appreciatively and kiss her hair. (←The Way You Look
Tonight by Frank Sinatra)
All I can mutter
is, “Anastasia. You look breathtaking.” She blushes at the compliment in front
of our security detail.
“Would you like
a glass of champagne before we go?” I ask.
“Please,” she
murmurs, anxious. I nod at Taylor, who already knows what they are responsible
of carrying out, and he understands and takes the other men with him and leaves
me and Anastasia alone.
I walk to the
fridge and take a bottle of champagne out.
“Is it the
security team?” Anastasia asks half interested, half dazed.
“Close
protection. They’re under Taylor’s command. He’s trained in that, too,” I say
handing Anastasia a champagne flute.
“He’s very
versatile,” she observes.
“Yes, he is,” I
smile. I can’t get over how stunning, and drop dead gorgeous she looks. If we
weren’t going in a short while, I’d take her to my room, fuck her all the way
to next Sunday!
“How are you
feeling?” I ask remembering the balls inside her with my errant thoughts with
heated eyes.
“Fine, thank
you,” she says smiling sweetly, completely ignoring my meaning. I know the game
she’s playing, and her reaction makes me smirk.
“Here, you’re
going to need this,” I say handing her a velvet pouch containing the mask.
“Open it,” I say as I take a sip of my champagne. She’s captivated with the
mystery and looks up at me and reaches into the bag pulling out a silver
masquerade mask with cobalt blue feather in plume crowning the top. She’s
fascinated with the mask in her hand.
“It’s a masked
ball,” I state nonchalantly.
“I see,” She
says gazing at the silver filigree etches around the eyes.
“This will show
off your beautiful eyes, Anastasia,” I say. She smiles at me shyly.
“Are you wearing
one?” she asks.
“Of course.
They’re very liberating in a way,” I say raising an eyebrow.
Then I remember
that I wanted to show her the library knowing how much she likes reading.
“Come. I want to
show you something,” I say holding out my hand to her leading her into the
hallway and to a door next to the stairs. When I open the door to the library, she
gazes drift all around her excited. The library is about the size of my
playroom, and every wall is filled with books floor to ceiling. In the center
of the room, there is a full size billiard table which is illuminated by a long
triangular prism shaped Tiffany lamp.
Anastasia is so
excited she turns to me and squeaks in awe, “You have a library!”
“Yes, Elliott
calls it the balls room. The apartment is quite spacious. I realized today when
you mentioned exploring. I realized that I’ve never given you a tour. We don’t
have time for a tour right now, but I thought I’d at least show you this room
and maybe challenge you to a game of billiards in the not-too-distant future.”
She grins at me.
“Bring it on,” she
says gleefully.
“What?” I ask
amused. Does she think she’ll win?
“Nothing,” she
says quickly. Oh, she’s hiding something. I narrow my eyes on her.
“Well, maybe
Doctor Flynn can uncover your secrets. You’ll meet him this evening,” I reveal.
“The expensive
charlatan?” she asks surprised.
“The very same.
He’s dying to meet you.”
“Come, we don’t
have time. We have to be leaving,” I say.
Anastasia and I
go in the same SUV with Taylor and Sawyer. We sit the in the back as I hold
Anastasia’s hand in mine. I gently skim my thumb across her knuckles absently.
Then I realize that she’s squirming in her seat, biting her lip, barely
containing herself. She crosses her legs to stop the movement of the silver
balls inside her.
“Where did you
get the lipstick?” she asks me quietly.
“Taylor,” I
mouth her smirking, and Anastasia burst out laughing which is short lived,
because the balls inside her start moving, and “oh,” she says with overwhelming
sensation, biting her lip trying to compress the urge growing inside her. I
smile at her with wickedly gleaming eyes.
“Relax,” I
breath. “If it’s too much…” I say my voice trails off. We could take care of it
when we get to my parents’ house. I gently take her hand and kiss each of her
knuckles softly and then gently suck the tip of her little finger. I know that
she’s clenching in all the right places and the sensation in her is growing.
She closes her eyes to either indulge or suppress the feelings. When she opens
her eyes back again, she finds me regarding her closely. I want her, I desire
her, but there’s not a thing I can do right now. She smiles at me making me smile back at her. (←All I Want is You
by U2)
“So what can we
expect at this event?” she asks.
“Oh, the usual
stuff,” I say. I smile lovingly at her and kiss her hand again. “Lots of people
flashing their cash. Auction, raffle, dinner, dancing – my mother knows how to
throw a party,” I say smiling at her.
When we arrive
at the Grey mansion, there is a long line of expensive cars leading up the
driveway. There’s long, pale pink paper lanterns hanging over the driveway. She
glances at me.
“Masks on,” I
grin. I don a simple black mask and Anastasia her silver one. She’s an
incredible sight to see, and I would hate to have other men’s eyes on her here
tonight as she’s incredibly stunning.
Taylor pulls
into the driveway, and a valet opens my door. Sawyer leaps out and opens Anastasia’s
door.
“Ready?” I ask.
“As I’ll ever
be,” she responds.
“You look
beautiful, Anastasia,” I say kissing her hand.
A dark green
carpet runs along the lawn to the one side of the house leading the path to the
grounds in the back. I have a possessive arm around Anastasia as my hand rests
on her waist, we follow the green carpet along with Seattle’s elite. There are
two photographers who take pictures of each entering guest in the backdrop of
an ivy-strewn arbor.
“Mr. Grey!” one
of the photographers calls. I nod in acknowledgment, and pull Anastasia closely
to me.
“Two
photographers?” she asks.
“One is from the
Seattle times; the other is for a souvenir. We’ll be able to buy a copy later,”
I explain. Once we make our way through the line, we can see the white suited
servers holding trays of glasses brimming with champagne. I take two glasses. I
take one for myself and one for my girl. She takes hers gratefully.
We make our way
to a large white pergola hung with smaller paper lanterns. Below us is a white
checkered dance floor surrounded by a low fence with entrances on three sides.
At each entrance there is a large ice sculpture of swans. The last side of the
pergola is occupied by a string quartet. I lead her between the swans onto the
dance floor along with other guests.
My parents’
estate is on the shore. Towards the shoreline part of the property, there is a
grand marquee, with formally arranged tables and chairs.
“How many people
are coming?” she asks.
“I think about
three hundred. You’ll have to ask my mother,” I say smiling down at her.
“Christian!” I
hear my name being called. And I know who that is before her arms wrap around
my neck. It’s my sister Mia. She’s in a sleek, pale pink, full length chiffon
gown with a Venetian mask to match. Mia then turns to Anastasia and says, “Ana!
Oh, darling, you look gorgeous!” giving her a quick hug. “You must come and
meet my friends. None of them can believe that Christian finally has a
girlfriend,” she gushes.
Anastasia shoots
me a quick panicked glance at me, and I shrug knowing that my sister is
impossible, and she will get her way. Mia leads Anastasia to a group of four
young women. Mia introduces them to her. I am standing in my place until I can
claim Anastasia back, but among the group of women my sister is introducing her
is Lily who is a complete bitch. She will surely try to give Anastasia a hard
time. I have to save her. I walk towards her, and wrap my arms around her from
the back.
“Ladies, if I
could claim my date back, please?” I say as I pull her to my side. All four
women flush and grin and fidget.
“Lovely to meet
you,” Anastasia says.
Then she turns
to me and mouths, “Thank you!” when we put a distance between us and the women.
“I saw that Lily
was with Mia. She is one nasty piece of work,” I say.
“She likes you,”
Anastasia observes making me shudder.
“Well, the
feeling is not mutual. Come, let me introduce you to some people,” I say, and
within the next half hour, I take her to meet politicians, Hollywood actors,
CEOs and physicians. I keep close at her side. The last CEO I introduce
Anastasia to, is making small talk with Anastasia.
“So you work at
SIP?” he asks in his half bear mask. “Heard rumors of a hostile takeover, and
Anastasia flushes.
“I’m just a
lowly assistant, Mr. Eccles. I wouldn’t know about these things,” she replies
cleverly. I say nothing but smile at Eccles blandly.
“Ladies and
gentlemen!” announces the Master of ceremonies wearing a black and white
harlequin mask.
“Please take
your seats. Dinner is served.”
I take
Anastasia’s hand and we follow the crow to the large marquee. There are three
huge chandeliers creating rainbow colored sparkles. Each table containing white
linen table cloths, and in the center of the each table, there is a display of
pink peonies around a silver candelabra. There are baskets of goodies as well.
After checking up with the seating plan, I lead her to the table in the center.
Mia and my mother are already in situ, and conversing with a young man who must
be Mia’s date. When my mother notices us, she gets up to greet us. She is in a
mint green gown and a Venetian mask.
“Ana, how
delightful to see you again! And looking so beautiful, too.”
Mother,” I greet
her stiffly and kiss my mom on the both cheeks.
“Oh, Christian,
so formal!” she scolds me.
“Come, your
grandparents are here, she says and lead us to them at our table. My
grandparents are always exuberant and youthful.
“Grandmother,
Grandfather, may I introduce Anastasia Steele?”
My grandmother
is like white over rice on Anastasia.
“Oh, he’s
finally found someone, how wonderful and so pretty! Well I do hope you make an
honest man of him,” she gushes, embarrassing Anastasia.
“Mother, don’t
embarrass Ana,” says my mother.
“Ignore the
silly old coot, m’dear,” says my Grandfather, Mr. Trevelyan. “She thinks
because she’s so old, she has a God-given right to say whatever nonsense pops
into that woolly head of hers.”
“Ana, this is my
date, Sean,” Mia introduces her date. He in turns gives Anastasia a wide grin
already taken by her the fucker, especially when he’s escorting my own sister.
I just want to wipe that grin off his face as his eyes are assessing my girlfriend.
“Pleased to meet
you, Sean,” Anastasia says. I shake his hand assessing him. As we all assume
our seats at our table, we hear my father’s voice over the PA system, and the
small talk around us dies down. My father stands on the small stage wearing a
gold Punchinello mask.
“Welcome, ladies
and gentlemen, to our annual charity ball. I hope that you enjoy what we have
laid out for you tonight and that you’ll dig deep into your pockets to support
the fantastic work that our team does with Coping Together. As you know, it’s a
cause that is very close to my wife’s heart and mine.”
He’s of course
talking about me. They started this charity a couple of years after adopting
me. Anastasia nervously looks at me knowing the meaning behind the charity, and
feeling her gaze on me I glance at her and give her a genuine smile. In a way
it is liberating having Anastasia know more of me.
“I’ll hand you
over now to our master of ceremonies. Please be seated, and enjoy,” he finishes
and makes his way back to our table. When my dad comes back to our table, he
greets us, and afford kisses on both Anastasia’s cheeks, and I think his action takes
her by surprise. It makes me happy that all my family adores Anastasia. It’s
not just me. She’s a lovable girl.
“Good to see you
again, Ana,” he murmurs.
“Ladies and
gentlemen, please nominate a table head,” the MC’s voice booms over the PA.
My sister Mia
who always desires to be in charge, a Grey character trait I suppose, and
center of the attention – that is a Mia trait only, yells, “Oooo – me, me!”
bouncing up and down in her seat like a toddler.
“In the center
of the table you will find an envelope. Would everyone find, beg, borrow, or
steal a bill of the highest denomination you can manage, write your name on it,
and place it inside the envelope. Table heads, please guard these envelopes
carefully. We will need them later,” he announces.
Anastasia’s face
falls. I dig into my wallet and take out two One-hundred-Dollar bills.
“Here,” I say
handing Anastasia out one of the bills.
“I’ll pay you
back,” she whispers. What the fuck? I don’t want the money back from her! This
is a charity which I dragged her to. Why should I make her pay for a measly
amount like a hundred Dollars? I’m getting mad, but this is not the time or the
place to discuss this; so I keep my trap shut for the time being. We both sign
our names on the bills, and pass the money to Mia.
Anastasia
examines the menu of tonight’s event printed on a card inscribed with silver
calligraphy.
Salmon Tartare
with Crème Fraiche and Cucumber, on Toasted Brioche matching it with Alban
Estate Roussanne 2006 white wine. Then there’s Roasted Muscovy Duck Breast with
Sunchoke Puree, Bing Cherries, Foie Gras Châteauneuf-Du-Paper Vieilelles
Vignes, paired with 2006 Domaine De La Janasse. For desert, sugared crusted
walnut chiffon candied figs, sabayon, maple ice cream paired with Vin De
Constance 2004 Klein Constantia. There’s of course local cheese and breads
which are paired with Alban Estate Grenache 2006. To tie everything over,
there’s coffee and Petit Fours.
After examining
the menu, I notice that Anastasia is gazing at the sunset over Seattle and
Meydenbauer Bay after the two servers pull back the canvas of our tent. The
city lights are twinkling as if they’re painting a canvas over the water with the
orange, pink and reddish sunset colors.
Ten servers,
each of them are holding a plate start serving in synchronization. Anastasia
gazes at the food on her plate.
“Hungry?” I lean
in as whisper in her ear like a caress. She shivers knowing my meaning.
“Very,” she
whispers back meeting my gaze with the lust reserved only for me making my lips
part with desire as I inhale. I don’t want to get a hard on with three-hundred
people around me. But, we have to do something about this later in the evening, otherwise I’m going to melt here. (←I Melt With You by
Nouvelle Vague)
As Anastasia is
engaged in talking to my grandparents and Mia, I talk to Sean, Mia’s date
about wind-up technology, particularly in cell phones, but trying to apply the
technology into other devices requiring electricity or batteries. My goal is to
be able to provide technology at the remote corners of the world. My company is
using Schumacher’s Small is Beautiful Principle. Schumacher, besides being a
British economist was also a writer. Most companies, people in fact believed in
such phrases as “Bigger is better”. But when the ’73 energy crisis occurred,
and that coincidentally was the time the globalization was emerging,
Schumacher published a critique of Western economics called Small Is Beautiful:
Economics As If People Mattered. The book is divided into four parts: The
Modern World, Resources, The Third World, and Organization and Ownership. He was concentrated on sustainable development
because of its relatively minor improvements, technology transfer to Third
World countries. There are a lot of things there were striking to me and stood
out in the book, but a few have been the most memorable:
“Man
is small, and therefore, small is beautiful.”
“Wisdom
demands a new orientation of science and technology towards the organic, the
gentle, the non-violent, the elegant and beautiful.”
“The
most striking thing about modern industry is that it requires so much and
accomplishes so little. Modern industry seems to be inefficient to a degree
that surpasses one’s ordinary powers of imagination. Its inefficiency therefore
remains unnoticed.”
I could go on
forever talking about this which is obviously one of my passions and I have
used these principles in my own business endeavors. I see Anastasia watching me
in awe as if she’s never met me before when I am talking about things that are
my passion: other than steamy hot sex with her making her come a thousand
different ways, flying and sailing. She has this awe and reverence in her gaze
for me; which incidentally fuels my number one passion: steamy hot sex with
Anastasia.
There is a
steady stream of people who visit our table trying to make my acquaintance. I
shake hands and exchange pleasantries with a number of people throughout the
evening. There are some that Anastasia should meet, some I feel safe, and some,
I wouldn’t dream of introducing my hot girlfriend.
When the MC asks
for our envelopes, my mother pulls out the winning hundred-Dollar-bill. It’s
Sean’s and his award is a silk-wrapped basket.
Anastasia is
applauding, but her heart is not into it. She’s fidgeting beside me, and that’s
all well, because I’ve been trying to suppress getting a hard-on all evening.
“If you’ll
excuse me,” she murmurs to me, and I look at her intently.
“Do you need the
powder room?” I ask. She nods.
“I’ll show you,”
I say darkly. I need release as much as she does. When she stands up to leave
with me, the other men at our table also stand up.
“No, Christian!
You’re not taking Ana! I will,” chimes in my inappropriate sister. Before I can
protest, she’s on her feet, grabbing Anastasia’s hand. My jaw tenses. I’m
going to combust and come with all these people around me! What the hell is she
doing taking my girlfriend? Sometimes my sister is a big frigging annoyance!
Anastasia shrugs apologetically at me. I sit down quickly as to not draw
attention to my erection, resigned. Later tonight, then.
Anastasia
returns a little while later, looking a little relieved but still hot and
bothered. She glances at me as she takes her seat next to me. I smile at my
woman. I squeeze her hand, and we both listen to my father
talk about Coping Together. I pass Anastasia a card with the list of auction
prizes.
There are quite
a few prizes donated by wealthy patrons. There is one from Elena for “One Day
Voucher for Two at Esclava, at the Braebur Center.” I’ve donated one weekend
stay in my place in Aspen, Colorado. After Anastasia gazes at the list, she
blinks up to me.
“You own a
property in Aspen?” she asks accusatory. Since the auction is underway, she
keeps her voice down. I nod at her, but am irritated with her tone. Why is she
accusing me for owning a property in Colorado? When had that become a crime? I
put a finger to my lips to ask her to be quiet.
“Do you have
property elsewhere?” she whispers. Damn! She’s not going to let it go. I nod,
but give her a warning look. “I’ll tell you later,” I say quietly. “I wanted to
come with you,” I add sulkily still full of pent-up sexual tension. With her
being angry at the oddest things, doesn’t make it any easier: sometimes I don’t
know which way is up with her. She gets mad at things other people wouldn’t
even notice.
Anastasia is
glancing around as if she’s looking for someone.
When the bidding
comes to my place in Aspen, the bidding reaches to twenty thousand Dollars.
“Going once,
going twice,” the MC calls, and suddenly Anastasia’s voice rings clear out over
the throngs.
“Twenty-four
thousand Dollars!”
I pull a sharp
intake of breath with fury rolling over me in waves! What the fuck is she doing
paying all the money I’ve given her for her car! Fuck! I can’t spank her! Damn!
What do I do? How do I punish her? I want to get her across my knee and spank
the shit out of her right now!
“Twenty-four
thousand Dollars, to the lovely lady in silver, going once, going
twice...Sold!”
I applaud for
everyone’s benefit donning my public smile. But, Anastasia, baby, I’m going to
get my due whether you’re willing to pay up, or not! I lean over her with a
large fake smile across my face. I kiss her cheek and move close to her ear
whispering in a cold and controlled voice, with my all my 50 Shades back:
“I don’t know
whether to worship at your feet or spank the living shit out of you,” I say to
my woman who exasperates me beyond belief, riles me up, mind-fucks me every
which way I didn’t know possible, and goes toe to toe with me; all of which are all
the things I hate and I love about her!
“I’ll take
option two, please,” she whispers frantically. My lips part and I inhale
sharply. Fuck Anastasia! Not here! Don’t make me come with your steamy words
alone! Not here. Okay, two can play at this game.
“Suffering, are
you? We’ll have to see what we can do about that,” I murmur as I run my fingers
along her jaw, the simplest touch yet I know it goes all the way to her sex, and
knowing that she won’t be able to sit still, and already pre-heated, she’ll
want to jump my bones, as she’s already looking at me with voracious hunger.
Pay-back time, baby! I’ll fuck you later, but now you burn in desire.
I have been staring at this page all day and refreshing it.....it all about anticipation baby!.Im so glad i found this...I love you writing! thanks so much....cant wait for Thursday!

ReplyDeleteAnother great chapter. I loved reading about the lipstick map from Christian's point of view, it was so emotionally charged.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work, you make so many people very happy.
Thanks for another great chapter! Cannot wait for Thursday!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had to stop to wright to you that your skills have made me cry. I could go no further after the map scene because I could feel his apprehension and yet his devotion to Ana. You did my favorite scene justice. Thank you Emine.
ReplyDeleteCathryn
Kept refreshing all day. Thanks for another great chapter! Just one thing, you called Mia's date Lance once, but its Sean... Not that it would bother me too much, it only gives you an idea how intensly I read your blog. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow this was one HOT chapter!!!! I had to stop and re-read a few things just to make sure I read them correctly while fanning myself!! HE HE!! God I love the second book so much, you are Rocking it Girl! You are spoiling us with these extra long chapters and I LOVE IT! THANK YOU!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Once again a phenomenal post. You have totally captured Christian exactly as I had imagined him to be!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Emine, you are amazing!!
Rachel.

Loved it as usual, thank you do much for doing this! Can't wait for the next chapter
ReplyDeleteEmine,
ReplyDeleteAmazing job once again. I enjoyed the reference to the economics book that you used for Christians conversation with Sean. I love the amount of details that you put into your writing. I can't wait till Thursday.
Cathryn
p.s.
Thanks for using my song suggestion:)
Wow!!!! Loved this chapter.. Once again you get Christian down to a tee. Laughed at Taylor and the red lipstick.. Please keep writing, know this is so time consuming, but it is the best escapism I've had in a long time. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteKathy Australia.
Thank you Lisa, Coleen, Kathyrn (I loved the song suggestions! And...you're a very special person...) Rachel, Kathy, and Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI was dividing my time between this chapter and the one about Leila (which is still only 1/2 way done-I had to do the laundry sometime today, so I'm just getting back to you guys, and my best friends - bless their little hearts pitched in their time to clean around here so I could write).
I've seen a comment from my 50 Shades Freed review of someone who said that the series were very poorly written books, and horrible, and the fact that it became successful showed how poor American education is, and how low was our intelligence. I deleted it, but here's the thing: This assumption is fallacious for a number of reasons. Poor education results in reading ‘no books’, no book-clubs to discuss them. The fact that we can do that is a sign of a certain level of intelligence. People are visual creatures for the most part. They like to be able to visualize what they’re reading. Even if the books had grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors, we’ve managed to overlook them because the character development was well done. What people tend to forget is that America is the place where books representing contradicting ideas can co-exist side by side; and that only comes with open-mind and freedom. Those two things do not come without education. Best seller lists contain fiction, non-fiction, trade fiction, mass-market fiction, advice, graphic books, manga, political etc. The series topped the fiction. What disturbs a percentage of critics is that this book contains mature material and yet a large number of people would want to read it (this is where their sex sells argument comes. But that suggestion is also misleading, because if that was true all of the "sex" books would be best sellers; and they're not. I’m a product of American educational system. America has some of the top colleges in the entire planet; some of which people would give their right arm to enter. It does not take away from our IQ to want to read this book, because it addresses one of the most elemental human relationship issues. There are well written instruction books (“Joy of Sex” comes to mind. Too mechanical, and completely devoid of emotion), college majors with large textbooks written by people with wall full of diplomas on human sexuality, sex therapists, radio and TV shows by renown doctors, family therapist talking the ears off the couples....yet, none of which accomplished what this woman single handedly do with what the critics call “cheesy, poorly written porn etc. etc.” to get some action in the bedrooms of couples, create intimacy, and much needed communication among couples; in fact, I don’t know if anyone managed to create this much open-mindedness in the most elemental level worldwide since King Solomon wrote the Song of Solomon.
If this is not accomplishment, I don’t know what is. So, the critics who are still seeking the perfect punctuation, and grammatical structure... they can go on reading the grammar books, classics that have been written hundreds of years ago and I will add these books to my very large collection of diverse books. And there's nothing to be ashamed about. And yes, it is literature by definition (Books and writings published on a particular subject).
This chapter was wonderful Emine. I think I just might combust awaiting on Thursday. Thank You keep up the great job.
ReplyDeleteEmine',
ReplyDeleteThank God I have a husband to take out some of the tension away! I tell you what Thursday has to come quick. O my hot, sexy. Ok let me keep this PG. LOL Love song selections of course. I forgot about Madonna and Crazy! How could I forget.
The depth of his love and desire came out so vivid I just want to hold him and say it going to be alright. The beast inside is becoming a beauty. Thanks you X1000.
O and if you look in the bible it states the" to enjoy the breast of the wife of your youth...." Yes the men in the bible had it right satisfy your woman and you can do what you need for God. Well charity begins at home.
Oh of course it would not be a post from me without my songs.
Hugs to all the gang!

Another out standing chapter, job well done. I can't wait or Thursday!
ReplyDeleteOh my, loved the lipstick scene it is one of my favorites ! This chapter was so great I read it twice,can't wait for the next one. A special thanks to your friends for helping you so you can write for us.
ReplyDeleteChar
wow, beautiful chapter Ermine, the depth of emotion is, well, amazing! I agree with Prince50, seeing the beast transformed is wonderful. I have always described these books as the classic beauty tames the beast stories.
ReplyDeletethanks for your thoughts on the critics too. We had an article in the weekend Melbourne paper that also included a disparaging piece from a critic, and I was saying the same words that you have said, to my husband. It is the feelings and emotion evoked, the ability to immerse yourself in the characters, seeing what they are seeing and feeling what they are feeling, that makes it a memorable and great book, not the spelling or grammatical correctness. I feel sorry that these critics are missing the point but then each to their own. I will happily keep reading the emotionally charged books.
Can't wait till Thursday, you are keeping me on the edge of my seat, or should that be edge of my keyboard :)
Another great chapter I love it, cant wait for the next part, its one of my favourite's :D
ReplyDeleteThe song in the next chapter is I've got you under my skin, - check out Katherine McPhee version, I love it
Claire :D
Thursday is tooooo Far away :-( I love the chapters, very well done
ReplyDeleteYes!!!Thank you, thank you, thank you, for yet another breathtaking chapter...I don't think I can wait till Thursday, though...:-(
ReplyDeleteJoyce
For some reason, all of the soundtrack were not opening up in a different window, but I made those corrections. Sorry guys :)
ReplyDeleteI purchased the audio book of 50 Shades. So, I can listen it when I'm doing my chores. What a sucker I am of the series :)
ReplyDeletethis is really good, i could not imagine it being any different, then if EL James wrote it herself. great story:) im excited to continue reading your work!
ReplyDeleteEmine'
ReplyDeleteThat is what I did! You can get audible on your smartphone and pay around 20 dollars a month for 2 credits. I had 4 credits so I got all 3 books. Much cheaper if you love books. Also, makes the chores go faster. LOL
Loving this blog your doing a fabulous job! not sure if anyone else has asked but where can I find a playlist of music featured in the books?
ReplyDeleteThank you Mel! ITunes is selling about 9 different albums based on 50 Shades.
ReplyDeleteFifty Shades of Grey: Dark Ambient Music
The Red Room - Music From and Inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty Grey Shades - a Collection of Fifty Piano Pieces Inspired by the Novel
We Aim to Please - Music From and Inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey
Tribute to Fifty Shasdes of Grey 50
Tribute to Fifty Shades of Grey: Sensual Lounge, Erotic Moments Background Music, Best Sexy Lounge Music Collection for Intimacy

Tribute to Fifty Shades Darker - 50 Shades of Grey Music
Enter the Red Room - Fifty Piano Pieces Inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey
I think they're all great. Prices for the albums range between $5.99 - $9.99
You can see the contents on iTunes, listen to the samples, and you can probably find those songs on youtube, and listen the whole thing before you decide to buy one. The second album (The Red Room) contains songs mentioned in the book (there are 50 songs). I think Fifty Grey shades have similar content; also 50 songs. We Aim to Please is one of my favorites (also 50 songs). Happy shopping!
Oh Emine, you never cease to amaze! I am beyond hooked - thank you again for your time, you have an exquisite gift. Also, thank you for sharing your music suggestions for 50 Shades. I will most definitely be looking into them. Do you also keep an ongoing list of all the songs you've used/will-be-using for your soundtrack? If not, I am more than happy to read back through your chapters. ;) And speaking of soundtracks, I would like to share a mix of some select songs that remind me of our complicated, yet captivating Fifty. I hope you and other Christian fanatics out there will enjoy them! ;)
ReplyDelete1. Snow Patrol - Learning to Breathe
2. Rod Stewart - Have I Told You Lately
3. Lifehouse - Everything, You and Me, Whatever It Takes (I'm a big Lifehouse fan lol)

Love,

Thank you Audrey!
ReplyDeleteI love those songs! I try to bookmark what I've used, but I think I may only have 50 or 60% of them bookmarked. But, I'm keeping the messages regarding the song suggestions in a different folder in my e-mail box, that I way refer to them as I need them - which of course makes me appreciate all of you who take time to suggest songs.
If you have the time, I'd be grateful if you could compile all the songs I've used in a list or something. It's actually a brilliant idea.
I'm currently working on the next chapter - still have several pages to go. But, it's coming along.
I would be happy to create a list of your songs ;) It's the least I can do in comparison to what you provide your readers on a weekly basis! Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteAudrey
That is so sweet of you Audrey! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLadies! I need your suggestions...I want to put a picture of Dr. John Flynn since he's going to be introduced in the dance floor. If you have someone in mind, send me the link to the image, so we can quickly decide which face I should put on Thursday's post for him. Let me know please! Thanks!

Henry Cavill (if he can't be Christian, he can at least be the Doctor).
Let me know please!!!
I live in England, yet I have never met anyone named Hugh!!
ReplyDeleteBridget Jones films have made me partial to a bit of Hugh Grant, I think he would make a great Dr. (he is also bit of a cricketer!)
Thanks Emine I'm listening to them on iTunes now :)
ReplyDeleteI found a song on YouTube by Candace chareecalled touch me I wasn't sure of it at first but it has grown on me www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8joGeZPoU8&feature=youtube_gdata_player hopefully the link will work :)
Great chapter Emine! Looking forward to the next one!
ReplyDeleteOk, not sure if it's too late, but here's my suggestions for Dr. Flynn.
Liam Neeson
http://www.google.com/search?q=Liam+neeson&hl=en&client=safari&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=OBEGUNPHMNDW2wWitI3SBQ&ved=0CL0BELAE&biw=768&bih=916&sei=MxIGULiNE8j02wWoqN21BQ
Ralph Fiennes(British/American actor)
http://www.google.com/search?q=ralph+fiennes&hl=en&client=safari&tbo=u&tbm=isch&source=univ&sa=X&ei=hBAGUP6wMuiK2gWho6DTBQ&ved=0CMEBELAE&biw=768&bih=916&sei=KRIGUPaVLsGj2QWPm5m2BQ#biv=i|15;d|PskoRQslXe9BRM:
I thought maybe more so Ralph Fiennes since Dr.Flynn does have a British accent.
I also love your choices of Colin Firth & Clive Owens!
As far as Henry Cavill, he's at the top of my list for Christian Grey, but I'll take him however I can get him! :)
Eminé,
ReplyDeleteI loved this chapter…and you placed the song “Courage” exactly where I thought it should go…thank you! I just love the chorus…”Courage moves within me, makes me shake. Looking for an ending, without the way.” The courage it took Christian to trust Ana and to endure the mapping scene...super intense.
This chapter was intense, playful, beautiful, and sexy all rolled in to one…thank you!! :D
These next few chapters are my absolute favorites…I’m so excited!! I can’t wait…
So, my iTunes playlist has exploded because of this blog…some new songs, many of the songs I had forgotten about…the music takes the story to the next level…love, love, love it!!!
Thanks,
Michelle
Hey Audery,
ReplyDeleteGirl you took my Job! LOL I love your selections!
Emine,
I must say thank you for making me apart. I looking daily for music for you! Thanks again for your heart because you give it with it chapter!
Emine,
ReplyDeleteOh I can definitely see a lot of your Dr. Flynn suggestions, especially Collin Firth. Never would have thought of him, but he seems like an excellent candidate. When I was reading the books, I pictured him looking like Stanley Tucci (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001804/) - with a British accent, of course lol.
Your suggestions made me then wonder who could play Mrs. Jones. That would be another good survey to do, too. I personally pictured someone like Gwyneth Paltrow (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000569/), but that's just me. :)
Prince50!
Let's pull our resources, you have amazing song suggestions as well. ;)
Colin Firth gets my vote for Flynn but I have to say I did picture Jude Law originaly because Ana was suprised he was so young, but I just love me some Colin Firth,so I like that suggestion. When I read the book I pictures Helen Mirren but I realize she is a bit too old for Ms. Jones. HE HE that would be some May/December romance Helen Mirren if Channing Tatum is our Taylor! LOL!! One more day guys! I've been so busy this week, but want to say thank you to your friends for helping with house work and also all you ladies helping with music I just LOVE our 50 shades support group! So glad to be a part of it!
ReplyDeleteI think Henry Cavill would be my first choice for Dr Flynn, he's the type of person I picture in my head, when ever I read the books/ blog.
ReplyDeleteI personally think some of the others are a little too old for this role - even if they are HOT lol
Claire (Uk)
Emine, I mentioned Ralph Fiennes & Liam Neeson as suggestions for Dr.Flynn, but read some comments and forgot that he was younger than Ana thought. So, those picks of mine are much older for the part. I'll scratch them and stick with Jude Law, Clive Owens & Colin Firth as good choices.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Henry Cavil for Dr. Flynn, he's the right age. Since Taylor and Ms. Jones are in their early to mid thirties I think Gwen Paltrow and Jeremy Renner would be a great fit.
ReplyDeleteThese are my choices for music that in my humble opinion fit well with book 2. Just thought I'd share. Thanks for the blog, keep up the good work its great!
ReplyDeleteThe piano version of "Give your heart a break" by Demi Lovato. The lyrics are so appropriate. Its like it was made for this story!

ReplyDeleteSorry, it's a typo. The word is wanton (not the Chinese dumpling).
ReplyDeleteWanton: lustful.
Hi Emine
ReplyDeletecongratulations for your job! I just finished to read the first book and I liked it very much.
I was reading now your book Angels of Eden but I not found it more on your blog. Do you think to put it back again online? I'm very sad because it's very interesting!Thanks again for your version of Grey! bye bye
