Chapter 15: “Nice”
Mint woke Ana up the next morning with excitement. There is a delivery man from the Apple store to set up a lap-top and a new email account for Ana.
Mint teases Ana…. Most girls get flowers for jewelry. Ana gets a lap-top for “research”. Ana can’t keep a straight face. She assures Mint that the lap top is on loan, not a gift. She won’t be able to accept it if it was.
As she turned on the computer, there was an email waiting from Christian. They exchanged flirty emails all day, Christian urging her to do the “research” and to ask him about any questions she may have about his proposition. He seems anxious to get an answer from her. She typed in “submissive” into wikipedia as Christian suggested.
A few hours passed and her system is in shock as she stares at the images on the computer screen. She is not sure of what she is feeling and needed to move around... to think. She paced herself in the room but it didn’t help. She needed space and air. It’s still light out on the early evening so she decided to go for a run in the Lumpini Park. She stopped the urge to go over to the Four Seasons Hotel afew blocks away to see him. She wants to see him badly ….. and she knows she wants to be with him …..but can she? On his terms?
She needs to let him know what’s ok and what’s not. She needs to email him her questions later tonight.
As she got back to her room, she had a funny thought…..and she emailed,
“Ok, I’ve seen enough. It was nice knowing you. ~ana”
Let’s see what he will think to that! Will he find this funny? She knows he is not lacking of humor. She experienced it with him during the weekend.
She waits. He is quick with reply but this time there is no reply. Oh, what can she do? Maybe he doesn’t think it’s funny.
She tried to keep herself busy by packing as they are supposed to move to Mint’s new condo this Saturday.
By 10 o’clock, she is restless…. Perhaps, she can distract herself by re-reading the contract and add her questions and comments for Christian.
For unknown reason, she felt his presence and glanced up. There he was in her apartment, standing in her doorway, watching her. Her heart skips a beat.
Christian: “Good Evening Anastasia” he said quietly. “I met Mint in the lobby when I arrived and she let me in. She is out with Mark tonight”….
Ana: “oh”
Ana can’t believe her eyes. Is he really here?
Christian: “I felt that your email needed to be replied in person” …. He looks so good. So sexy ….. and he is in her bedroom. “I wondered what your bedroom would look like. It’s peaceful in here.”
Ana: finally found her voice and asked in a small voice, “Would you like a drink?”
Christian: “No, thank you, Anastasia” and he smiles…. A gorgeous and mischievous smile.
Then, it hit her….. She finally realized that the joke is now on HER.
Christian: “So, it was nice knowing me?” he asks quietly.
Ana: “I thought you’d reply by email”…. How can she get out of this? Should she tell him it was a joke?
Christian: “Are you biting your lower lip deliberately?” he asked hoarsely.
Ana: “I wasn’t aware …” and she released her lip.
Her heart is pounding as he moves closer, leans forward and slowly removes her hair tie from one of her pigtails.
Christian: “So you decided to do some exercise” as he tugs her hair behind her ear. “Why, Anastasia?” How does he know that she doesn’t exercise normally? He somehow knows so much about her….
Ana: “I needed to time to think.”
Christian: “Think about what, Anastasia?”
Ana: “You” she whispers.
Christian: “..and you decided that it was nice knowing me?” his voice is soft. He smiles and removed the other hair tie from the other pigtail.
Ana is blushing profusely. His touch is so sensual. Her body is feverish under his touch.
Christian: “well, I thought I should come and remind you how nice it was knowing me.”
Their eyes locked as he brings her lips to his, claiming her, possessing her. Somehow they moved and they are on the bed as they finally broke the kiss to breathe. He is gazing down at her. Eyes full of desire.
Christian: “Trust me?” he whispers.
Ana nodded.
Christian takes out his silver-gray silk tie from his pocket. She remembers that tie very well from a day ago. Before she could change her mind, he ties her hands expertly and ties the other end of the tie to the bed-post. She is excited and her belly is in knots just by watching him.
Christian: “You are biting your lip again Anastasia. You know the effect it has on me.” He leaned over and licked her lips.
It’s too much….she squirms and he smirks knowingly.
Christian takes off her shoes and socks and slowly undressed her. He pulled the shirt over her head and stopped. He can see her mouth and nose but her eyes are covered. He chuckles softly.
Christian: “This is too much fun. I am going to get a drink. I think Mint said there is white wine in the fridge that we can drink tonight”…with that he left after planning another soft kiss on her lips.
He returned and she heard him removing his clothes and sliding into bed next to her.
Christian: “Are you thirsty, Anastasia?”
Ana: “Yes”
He leaned down and kisses Ana, pouring cold crisp liquid into her mouth from his lips.
Christian: “more?”
Ana nods.
Christian gave her another mouthful from his lips.
Christian: “One more and that’s it. We know you are a light weight” and he gave her another…. The touch of his lips, cool drink, his body heat …….and she is tied up. Her mind is cloudy. Her body aroused.
Christian: “Is this nice?” as he kissed her lips leaving a piece of ice in her mouth. There is something in his voice.
The tease continued. He kissed her leaving pieces of ice to melt all over her body. She was not allowed to move … not allow to spill wine over the sheets. She was under complete control. Under his spell.
Christian: he threaten her softly, “if you spill the wine, I will punish you” and he kisses her breasts…
She wants to move but can’t. Christian moves around… reminding her “how nice is this, and that…..” as he touched her with his lips, fingers and his tongue.
Ana: “I want to touch you” she requests breathily but she already knew the answer.
Christian: “I know…” and he continued his sweet torture.
She is frustrated and ready to scream in her head.
Christian: “this is your punishment…. So close yet so far. Is this nice? He whispers.
Ana: “please….” She begs.
Christian: “What should I do next Anastasia?”
Ana: “please…” she repeats. She is breathless…
Christian: “What do you want Anastasia”
Ana: “You. Now”….
Christian: “How? There is an endless choice…” as he is now on top of her, close to entering her but not yet… she can feel him…..he is such a tease. “How nice is this?”
Ana: “I meant it as a joke” she confessed.
Christian: “a joke?” his voice is soft.
Ana: “Yes. Please. Christian” her begging continued…
Christian: “Are you laughing now?”
Ana: “No”
He looked into her eyes full of desire and without notice, he plunges inside her, making her cries out. It was too much…… and she fell apart underneath him.
He doesn’t stop….. he builds her back up, on and on and much to her surprise, her body responds to him some more. She is ready, to explode, again.
Christian: “Come on, Anastasia. Again” as he moves in her. He felt her quiver…… and she let go, this time together with him.
When they came down back down from climax, he smiled at her and asked,
Christian: “How nice was that?” as he takes off her shirt that was blindfolding her and free her wrists from the tie. He is smirking now….
Ana: “that was really nice” she whispers, smiling shyly.
Christian: “There is that word again”
Ana: “You don’t like that word?”
Christian: “No” “so that email was your idea of a joke?” he asked as he kisses her forehead.
Ana nodded apologetically.
Christian: “I see. So you are still considering my proposition?”
Ana: “Yes - but I have issues” she quietly said.
Christian: grins as he is relieved “I’d be disappointed if you don’t”
Ana: “I was going to email them to you but you interrupted me.”
Christian: “I thought you were saying no” his voice is low.
Ana: “I don’t know yet. I haven’t made up my mind”… and she questioned him if he would do things to her that she saw online…. Some yes, some no…. he is pleased that she did her research.
Then she found out that he is still talking to "her", Mrs. Robinson (she nicked name her after the movie) and he busted out laughing. She is not amused and felt a strong jealousy in her that surprised her. That was a new feeling for Ana.
In attempt to hide her jealousy, she lashed out at him.
Ana: “so you can talk to someone but I can’t talk to anyone about all this?”
Christian: “Oh, I didn’t think about it like that. She was a part of lifestyle and she is just a very good friend now. Nothing more.” He paused and continued “you can talk to one of my former subs if you want. I can introduce you”.
Ana is fuming now. Is he kidding?
Ana: “is this your idea of a joke?”
Christian: “No, Anastasia, I don’t mean to offend you”.
Ana: “I am not offended. I am appalled. I don’t need to talk to your ex, slaves, subs or anyone. I’ll do this on my own.” She mumbles angrily.
Christian: surprised and asked “Anastasia Sperbund, are you jealous?”
She is now beet red. She got caught.
Ana: changing the topic. “Are you staying?”
Christian: “I have an early meeting tomorrow. Besides, I already told you, I don’t sleep with anyone. Friday and Saturday nights were exception. It won’t happen again.”
Ana: “well, I am tired now”
Christian: “Are you kicking me out?”
Ana: “Yes”
Christian: “Well, that’s a first” he studies her. “you don’t want to discuss anything right now? About the contract?”
Ana: “no”
Christian: leans in and whispers “I’d like to spank you so much right now, little brat.”
Ana: “you can’t… I haven’t sign anything yet”
Christian: “A man can dream, Anastasia” he reach our to touch her chin. “Wednesday?” he murmurs and kissed her lightly on the lips.
Ana: “Wednesday” she repeats…. “I’ll walk you out”.
As they walked towards her door, she is suddenly sadden by the thought of him leaving her for the night. She doesn’t want him to go. She wants him to stay with her like a normal relationship couples would, without contracts, without playrooms.
Ana opens the door and stares down at her toes. She doesn’t want him to see her emotions. He stopped and looked at her. He reached over to touch her face.
Christian: “You ok?”
Ana: “Yes” but she is not sure.
She can't do this. She knows she wants him but she also knows that she will get hurt. Her earlier feelings of jealousy makes her realized that she wants more, a lot more then what he can offer or want to offer….
Christian: “Wednesday” he confirms and lean in for a goodbye kiss. It was just a soft goodnight kiss but something changes while he was kissing her. His kisses turned urgent and he deepens the kiss. His body pressing into her, holding her tight.
Christian: “Anastasia” he whispers. “What are you doing to me?”
Ana: whispers back “I could say the same to you”.
He inhale deeply, touch her face gently, eyes uncertain….. he kissed her forehead again gently and leaves for the night. She stayed at the doorway until he is out of her sight.
As she closed the door behind her, she can’t stop herself and her tears begin to flow.
