Christian pulls me close. "Elena," he says, his tone puzzled.
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Why do you think she's here?"
查看中文翻译
Did you talk to her today?" I ask Christian as we wait for Mrs. Robinson's arrival.
查看中文翻译
"She brushed it off in a way that only Elena can." His mouth flattens to a crooked line.
查看中文翻译
Oh, good. "What did she say?"
查看中文翻译
"I said that you didn't want to see her, and that I understood your reasons why. I also told her that I didn't appreciate her going behind my back." His gaze is impassive, giving nothing away.
查看中文翻译
"I have no idea." Christian shrugs.
查看中文翻译
And here she is… Why is she so damned attractive? She's dressed entirely in black: tight jeans, a shirt that emphasizes her perfect figure, and a halo of bright, glossy hair.
查看中文翻译
"What did you say?"
查看中文翻译
Taylor enters the great room again. "Mrs. Lincoln," he announces.
查看中文翻译
She gapes at me in shock, frozen to the spot. She blinks before finding her soft voice. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had company, Christian. It's Monday," she says as if this explains why she's here.
查看中文翻译
"Girlfriend," he says by way of explanation and tilts his head to one side and gives her a cool smile.
查看中文翻译
A slow, beaming smile directed entirely at him spreads across her face. It's unnerving.
查看中文翻译
"Of course. Hello, Anastasia. I didn't know you'd be here. I know you don't want to talk to me. I accept that."
查看中文翻译
"Do you?" I assert quietly, gazing at her and taking all of us by surprise. With a slight frown, she moves farther into the room.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, I get the message. I'm not here to see you. Like I said, Christian rarely has company during the week." She pauses. "I have a problem, and I need to talk to Christian about it."
查看中文翻译
Christian fetches a glass while Elena and I stand awkwardly gazing at each other. She fidgets with a large silver ring on her middle finger, while I don't know where to look. Finally, she gives me a small tight smile and approaches the kitchen island and sits on the barstool at the end. She obviously knows the place well and feels comfortable moving around here.
查看中文翻译
"Oh?" Christian straightens up. "Do you want a drink?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes, please," she murmurs gratefully.
查看中文翻译
Do I stay? Do I go? Oh, this is so difficult. My subconscious scowls at the woman with her most hostile harpy face.
查看中文翻译
Elena's face softens as if she's pleased for him. Really pleased for him. Oh, I don't understand this woman at all, and I'm uncomfortable and edgy in her presence.
查看中文翻译
There's so much I want to say to this woman, and none of it complimentary. But she's Christian's friend -- his only friend -- and for all my loathing of this woman, I am innately polite. Deciding to stay, I sit as gracefully as I can manage on the stool Christian's vacated. Christian pours wine into each of our glasses and sits between us at the breakfast bar. Can't he feel how weird this is?
查看中文翻译
Elena looks nervously at me, and Christian reaches over and clasps my hand.
查看中文翻译
"Anastasia's with me now," he says to her silent query and squeezes my hand. I flush, and my subconscious beams at him, harpy face forgotten.
查看中文翻译
"What's up?" he asks her.
查看中文翻译
She takes a deep breath and shifts, perching on the edge of her barstool and looking agitated. She glances nervously down at her hands and starts manically twisting the large silver ring around and around on her middle finger.
查看中文翻译
She reaches into her oversized patent-leather designer purse, pulls out a note, and hands it to him.
查看中文翻译
She lays the note out for him, and he bends to read it.
查看中文翻译
"How?" Christian asks, his horror clear in his voice.
查看中文翻译
"You don't want to touch it?"
查看中文翻译
"Put it down, lay it out." Christian points to the breakfast bar counter with his chin.
查看中文翻译
"I'm being blackmailed."
查看中文翻译
Why am I listening to this? Is she fucking some other poor boy?
查看中文翻译
What's wrong with her? Is it my presence? Do I have that effect on her? Because I feel the same way -- I don't want her here. She raises her head and looks Christian squarely in the eye.
查看中文翻译
Holy shit. Not what I expected out of her mouth. Christian stiffens. Has someone found out about her penchant for beating and fucking underage boys? I suppress my revulsion, and a fleeting thought about chickens coming home to roost crosses my mind. My subconscious rubs her hands together with ill-disguised glee. Good.
查看中文翻译
"They're only asking for five thousand dollars," he says almost absentmindedly. "Any idea who it might be? Someone in the community?"
查看中文翻译
"Christian, you know I can't go to the police with this."
查看中文翻译
"No. Fingerprints."
查看中文翻译
Linc? Who's that?
查看中文翻译
"What?" he asks.
查看中文翻译
"What -- after all this time? I don't think so," she grumbles.
查看中文翻译
His eyes search mine, looking for what? Censure? Acceptance? Hostility? I keep my expression as bland as possible.
查看中文翻译
He releases me and I stand. Elena watches me warily. I stay tight-lipped and return her gaze, giving nothing away.
查看中文翻译
"I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed."
查看中文翻译
"Good night," I mutter, my voice sounds cold. I turn to leave. The tension is too much for me to bear. As I exit the room they continue their conversation.
查看中文翻译
"I haven't told him."
查看中文翻译
"Good night, Anastasia." She gives me a small smile.
查看中文翻译
"I don't think there's a great deal I can do, Elena," Christian says to her. "If it's a question of money…" His voice trails off. "I could ask Welch to investigate."
查看中文翻译
"Okay," he says. "I won't be long."
查看中文翻译
"I think he needs to know," Christian says. She shakes her head, and now I feel I'm intruding. I want none of this. I try to retrieve my hand from Christian's grasp, but he just tightens his hold and turns to gaze at me.
查看中文翻译
"Linc?"
查看中文翻译
"No," she says in her soft sweet voice.
查看中文翻译
"Does Isaac know?"
查看中文翻译
Who's Isaac?
查看中文翻译
I can't hear Christian's response. So I'm strong, am I? I certainly don't feel that way.
查看中文翻译
"I am," Christian responds.
查看中文翻译
"You deserve to be."
查看中文翻译
"I wish that were true."
查看中文翻译
I freeze, listening intently. I can't help it.
查看中文翻译
"Make her understand."
查看中文翻译
When I am out of the room, I hear her say, "You look very happy."
查看中文翻译
"What is her problem?"
查看中文翻译
"Ouch! That hurts."
查看中文翻译
"It's the truth, Elena. I don't have to play games with her. And I mean it, leave her alone."
查看中文翻译
"She knows me better than anyone."
查看中文翻译
"Does she know how negative you are about yourself? About all your issues."
查看中文翻译
"Christian," she scolds.
查看中文翻译
"You… What we were. What we did. She doesn't understand."
查看中文翻译
"It's in the past, Elena, and why would I want to taint her with our fucked-up relationship? She's good and sweet and innocent, and by some miracle she loves me."
查看中文翻译
"It's no miracle, Christian," Elena scoffs good-naturedly. "Have a little faith in yourself. You really are quite a catch. I've told you often enough. And she seems lovely, too. Strong. Someone to stand up to you."
查看中文翻译
"No, Christian, I just wanted to share," she says.
查看中文翻译
"Your playroom."
查看中文翻译
"Elena, we have a business relationship that has profited us both immensely. Let's keep it that way. What was between us is part of the past. Anastasia is my future, and I won't jeopardize it in any way, so cut the fucking crap."
查看中文翻译
"What did you mean?" He's brusque, angry.
查看中文翻译
"I think you'd better go. And please, call before you come again."
查看中文翻译
"I don't want to lose you, Christian."
查看中文翻译
"I'm sorry." Elena snorts insincerely.
查看中文翻译
Oh.
查看中文翻译
His future!
查看中文翻译
"Look, I'm sorry for your trouble. Perhaps you should ride it out and call their bluff." His tone is softer.
查看中文翻译
"I see."
查看中文翻译
"Look, I don't want to argue with you. Your friendship means a lot to me. I'll back off from Anastasia. But I'm here if you need me. I always will be."
查看中文翻译
"That really is none of your fucking business," Christian snaps.
查看中文翻译
"Christian, I am sorry," she says, and from her tone, this time she means it. "Since when are you so sensitive?" She's scolding him again.
查看中文翻译
"Don't you miss it?" Elena continues.
查看中文翻译
"What?"
查看中文翻译
"I'm not yours to lose, Elena," he snaps again.
查看中文翻译
"That's not what I meant."
查看中文翻译
I stop breathing.
查看中文翻译
"I wanted her to know how upset you were when she left. I don't want her to hurt you."
查看中文翻译
"I know. I'm sorry. You know I care about you. I never thought you'd end up falling in love, Christian. It's very gratifying to see. But I couldn't bear it if she hurt you."
查看中文翻译
"She knows. I've told her. Stop interfering. Honestly, you're like a mother hen." Christian sounds more resigned, and Elena laughs, but there's a sad tone to her laugh.
查看中文翻译
"I'll take my chances," he says dryly. "Now, are you sure you don't want Welch to sniff around?"
查看中文翻译
I listen to them bickering, trying to figure this out. They do sound like old friends, as Christian says. Just friends. And she cares about him -- maybe too much. Well, would anybody who knew him not care?
查看中文翻译
"Anastasia thinks that you saw me last Saturday. You called, that's all. Why did you tell her otherwise?"
查看中文翻译
"Okay. I'll call him in the morning."
查看中文翻译
She sighs heavily. "I suppose it wouldn't do any harm."
查看中文翻译
"Thank you, Christian. And I am sorry. I didn't mean to intrude. I'll go. Next time I'll call."
查看中文翻译
"Good."
查看中文翻译
She's going! Shit! I scamper up the hallway to Christian's bedroom and sit down on the bed. Christian enters a few moments later.
查看中文翻译
"She's gone," he says warily, gauging my reaction.
查看中文翻译
He sighs and runs his hand through his hair.
查看中文翻译
"Why the fuck do you want to know about her? We had a very long-standing affair, she beat the shit out of me often, and I fucked her in all sorts of ways you can't even imagine, end of story."
查看中文翻译
I blanch. Shit. I look down at my hands, knotted in my lap. I just want to understand.
查看中文翻译
I gaze up at him, trying to frame my question. "Will you tell me all about her? I am trying to understand why you think she helped you." I pause, thinking carefully about my next sentence. "I loathe her, Christian. I think she did you untold damage. You have no friends. Did she keep them away from you?"
查看中文翻译
"Because all of that shit is over!" he shouts, glowering at me. He sighs in exasperation and shakes his head.
查看中文翻译
I pale. Shit, he's angry -- with me. I blink at him. "Why are you so angry?"
查看中文翻译
He sits down beside me. "What do you want to know?" he asks wearily.
查看中文翻译
He sighs again. He really is pissed. "A long time ago, I thought I loved her," he says through gritted teeth.
查看中文翻译
"I'm not jealous." I'm wounded that he would think that -- or am I? Shit. Maybe that's what this is. "You don't love her," I murmur.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, she does. And I for her in my own way, but it doesn't come close to how I feel about you. If that's what this is about."
查看中文翻译
"She cares for you."
查看中文翻译
"Anastasia, it's not that. I don't like talking about this shit. I've lived in a bubble for years with nothing affecting me and not having to justify myself to anyone. She's always been there as a confidante. And now my past and my future are colliding in a way I never thought possible."
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"I never thought I had a future with anyone, Anastasia. You give me hope and have me thinking about all sorts of possibilities." He drifts off.
查看中文翻译
"I was listening," I whisper and stare back down at my hands.
查看中文翻译
"Well?" He sounds resigned.
查看中文翻译
I glance at him and he's staring at me, his eyes wide.
查看中文翻译
"You don't have to tell me. I don't mean to intrude."
查看中文翻译
"What? To our conversation?"
查看中文翻译
"I loved you then, Anastasia," he whispers. "You're the only person I'd fly three thousand miles to see."
查看中文翻译
Oh. "When we were in Georgia… you said you didn't love her."
查看中文翻译
Perhaps she's not so bad. I shake my head. I don't want to accept his relationship with her. I disapprove. Yes, that's what this is. She's an unsavory character who preyed on a vulnerable adolescent, robbing him of his teenage years, no matter what he says.
查看中文翻译
Oh my. I don't understand. He still wanted me as a sub then. My frown deepens.
查看中文翻译
I knew it! I knew it in Savannah. I gaze at him, blankly.
查看中文翻译
"The feelings I have for you are very different from any I ever had for Elena," he says by way of explanation.
查看中文翻译
"So you desired her? When you were younger."
查看中文翻译
"When did you know?"
查看中文翻译
He shrugs. "Ironically, it was Elena who pointed it out to me. She encouraged me to go to Georgia."
查看中文翻译
What do I make of this? Maybe she is on my side and just worried that I'll hurt him. The thought is painful. I would never want to hurt him. She's right -- he's been hurt enough.
查看中文翻译
"That's right."
查看中文翻译
I frown.
查看中文翻译
He blinks at me as though he doesn't comprehend the question. He frowns. "I didn't have to stay with her. It was my choice, too, Anastasia," he murmurs.
查看中文翻译
Oh.
查看中文翻译
"At the time I did."
查看中文翻译
He smiles fondly. "Yes, she did."
查看中文翻译
"So much that you wanted to do it to others?"
查看中文翻译
"Lincoln Timber?"
查看中文翻译
"The very same," he smirks.
查看中文翻译
"Did she help you with that?"
查看中文翻译
"He's in his mid-twenties, Anastasia. You know -- a consenting adult," he adds quickly, correctly deciphering my look of disgust.
查看中文翻译
Oh. "But she also beat the shit out of you."
查看中文翻译
His eyes grow wide and serious. "Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
Oh no.
查看中文翻译
"And Isaac?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Who's Linc?"
查看中文翻译
"She taught me a great deal. She taught me to believe in myself."
查看中文翻译
"Reticence! Jeez, Christian -- if that were your son, how would you feel?"
查看中文翻译
"Her ex-husband."
查看中文翻译
"Did she sub for you?"
查看中文翻译
"Her current submissive."
查看中文翻译
Holy fuck. "Do you expect me to like her?" My voice sounds brittle and bitter.
查看中文翻译
"No. Though it would make my life a hell of a lot easier," he says wearily. "I do understand your reticence."
查看中文翻译
This is getting me nowhere.
查看中文翻译
"And you liked that?"
查看中文翻译
"Why not?"
查看中文翻译
"I wasn't aware we were fighting. I thought we were communicating," I mumble petulantly.
查看中文翻译
I stare mulishly up at him.
查看中文翻译
Whoa… the Saab? "Can I drive it tomorrow?"
查看中文翻译
"Oh, I almost forgot," he adds. "Your car arrived a day early. It's in the garage. Taylor has the key."
查看中文翻译
"Do you want to fight about that, too?" he snaps.
查看中文翻译
"Seems I can't trust you either," I mutter. "You could have told me Sawyer was watching me."
查看中文翻译
"Your age," I mutter.
查看中文翻译
"No."
查看中文翻译
"You know why not. And that reminds me. If you are going to leave your office, let me know. Sawyer was there, watching you. It seems I can't trust you to look after yourself at all." He scowls, making me feel like an errant child -- again. And I would argue with him, but he's pretty worked up over Elena, and I don't want to push him any further, but I can't resist one comment.
查看中文翻译
"Look, Anastasia, as I said to her, she's part of my past. You are my future. Don't let her come between us, please. And quite frankly, I'm really bored of this subject. I'm going to do some work." He stands and gazes down at me. "Let it go. Please."
查看中文翻译
I exhale. I hadn't realized I'd been holding my breath. I flop back onto the bed, staring at the ceiling.
查看中文翻译
"I have to work," he says quietly, and with that, he leaves the room.
查看中文翻译
Can we ever have a normal conversation without it disintegrating into an argument? It's exhausting.
查看中文翻译
He closes his eyes briefly as he struggles to contain his temper. I swallow and watch anxiously. This could go either way.
查看中文翻译
I get off the bed and wander to the window. Unlocking the balcony door, I open it and stroll over to the glass railing. Its transparency is unnerving. The air's chilly and fresh, as I'm up so high.
查看中文翻译
Evidently he's bored with the whole Elena thing -- he's right, I need to move on. Let it go. Well, at least he's not expecting me to be friends with her, and I hope that she'll now stop hassling me for a meeting.
查看中文翻译
We just don't know each other that well. Do I really want to move in with him? I don't even know if I should make him a cup of tea or coffee while he's working. Should I disturb him at all? I have no idea of his likes and dislikes.
查看中文翻译
I gaze out over the twinkling lights of Seattle. He's so far removed from everything up here in his fortress. Answerable to no one. He'd just told me he loves me, then all this crap comes up because of that dreadful woman. I roll my eyes. His life is so complicated. He's so complicated.
查看中文翻译
"Hope all is well with Christian," he says casually, and I know he's fishing for information but doesn't really want to know.
查看中文翻译
With a heavy sigh and a last glance at Seattle spread like cloths of gold at my feet, I decide to call Ray. I haven't spoken to him for a while. It's a brief conversation as usual, but I ascertain he's fine and that I'm interrupting an important soccer match.
查看中文翻译
I hang up and check my watch. It's only ten. Because of our discussion, I am feeling strangely innervated and restless.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah. We're cool." Sort of, and I'm moving in with him. Though we haven't discussed a timetable.
查看中文翻译
"Love you, too, Annie."
查看中文翻译
"Love you, Dad."
查看中文翻译
I shower quickly, and back in the bedroom, decide to wear one of the nightdresses that Caroline Acton procured for me from Neiman Marcus. Christian's always moaning about my T-shirts. There are three. I choose the pale pink and put it on over my head. The fabric skims across my skin, caressing and clinging to me as it falls around my body. It feels luxurious -- the finest, thinnest satin. Whoa! In the mirror, I look like a 1930s movie star. It's long, elegant -- and very un-me.
查看中文翻译
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again…
查看中文翻译
Why can't I take a little more pain for my man? Disconsolately, I place it on the desk and continue my hunt for a good read.
查看中文翻译
There are so many books in Christian's library. Scanning every title will take forever. I glance occasionally at the billiard table and flush as I recall our previous evening. I smile when I see that the ruler is still on the floor. Picking it up, I swat my palm. Ow! It stings.
查看中文翻译
Most of the books are first editions. How can he have amassed a collection like this in such a short time? Perhaps Taylor's job description includes book buying. I settle on Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I haven't read this for a long time. I smile as I curl up in one of the overstuffed armchairs and read the first line:
查看中文翻译
I grab the matching robe and decide to hunt out a book in the library. I could read on my iPad -- but right now, I want the comfort and reassurance of a physical book. I'll leave Christian alone. Perhaps he'll recover his good humor once he's finished working.
查看中文翻译
"Hey," he murmurs, "you fell asleep. I couldn't find you." He nuzzles my hair. Sleepily, I put my arms around his neck and breathe in his scent -- oh, he smells so good -- as he carries me back to the bedroom. He lays me down on the bed and covers me.
查看中文翻译
I am jostled awake as Christian lifts me in his arms.
查看中文翻译
What time is it? I check the alarm clock -- two in the morning. Has Christian come to sleep at all? I disentangle my legs from my robe, which I'm still wearing, and clamber out of bed.
查看中文翻译
"Sleep, baby," he whispers and he presses his lips against my forehead.
查看中文翻译
I wake suddenly from a disturbing dream and am momentarily disoriented. I find myself anxiously checking the end of the bed, but there's no one there. Drifting from the great room, I hear the faint strains of a complex melody from the piano.
查看中文翻译
In the great room, I stand in the shadows, listening. Christian is lost to the music. He looks safe and secure in his bubble of light. And the tune he plays has a lilting melody, parts of which sound familiar, but so elaborate. He's so good. Why does this always take me by surprise?
查看中文翻译
"Do you have any idea how desirable you look at this moment?" he says, his voice soft.
查看中文翻译
The whole scene looks different somehow, and I realize that the piano lid is down, giving me an unhindered view. He glances up and our eyes lock, his gray and softly luminous in the diffuse glow of the lamp. He continues to play, not faltering at all, as I make my way over to him. His eyes follow me, drinking me in, burning brighter. As I reach him, he stops.
查看中文翻译
"Why do we fight?" he whispers, as his teeth graze my earlobe.
查看中文翻译
"Why did you stop? That was lovely."
查看中文翻译
"Because we're getting to know each other, and you're stubborn and cantankerous and moody and difficult," I murmur breathlessly, shifting my head to give him better access to my throat. He runs his nose down my neck, and I feel his smile.
查看中文翻译
My heart skips a beat, then starts pounding, coursing heat throughout my body.
查看中文翻译
Oh. "Come to bed," I whisper and his eyes heat as he holds out his hand. When I take it, he tugs unexpectedly so I fall into his lap. He wraps his arms around me and nuzzles my neck behind my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
查看中文翻译
"I have no idea."
查看中文翻译
"I'm all those things, Miss Steele. It's a wonder you put up with me." He nips my earlobe and I moan. "Is it always like this?" he sighs.
查看中文翻译
"Me neither." He yanks the sash of my robe so it falls open, and his hand skims down my body, over my breast. My nipples harden beneath his gentle touch and strain against the satin. He continues down to my waist, down to my hip.
查看中文翻译
"You feel so fine under this material, and I can see everything -- even this." He tugs gently on my pubic hair through the fabric, making me gasp, while his other hand fists in my hair at my nape. Pulling my head back, he kisses me, his tongue urgent, relentless, needy. I moan in response and caress his dear, dear face. His hand gently pulls my nightdress up, slowly, tantalizingly until he's fondling my naked behind and then running his thumbnail down the inside of my thigh.
查看中文翻译
Suddenly he rises, startling me, and he lifts me onto the piano. My feet rest on the keys, sounding discordant, disjointed notes, and his hands skim up my legs and part my knees. He grabs my hands.
查看中文翻译
He kisses me… there… Oh, boy… then gently blows before his tongue circles my clitoris. He pushes my legs wider. I feel so open -- so exposed. He holds me in place, his hands just above my knees as his tongue tortures me, giving no quarter, no respite… no reprieve. Tilting my hips up, meeting and matching his rhythm, I am consumed.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Christian, please." I moan.
查看中文翻译
Oh, boy. I know what he's going to do, and the anticipation… I groan loudly as he kisses the inside of my knee, then kisses and sucks and nips his way higher up my leg to my thigh. The soft satin of my nightgown rises higher, skimming over my sensitized skin, as he pushes the fabric. I flex my feet and the chords sound again. Closing my eyes, I surrender myself to him as his mouth reaches the apex of my thighs.
查看中文翻译
"Lie back," he orders, holding my hands while I sink back on top of the piano. The lid is hard and uncompromising against my back. He lets go and pushes my legs open wider, my feet dancing over the keys, over the lower and higher notes.
查看中文翻译
"Oh no, baby, not yet," he teases, but I feel myself quicken as does he, and he stops.
查看中文翻译
"Ah!" I cry out as he pushes one inside me. The other persecutes me, slowly, agonizingly, circling around and around. My back arches off the piano as I writhe beneath his touch. It's almost unbearable.
查看中文翻译
"No," I whimper.
查看中文翻译
"Christian!" I cry, spiraling out of control with need.
查看中文翻译
"This is my revenge, Ana," he growls softly. "Argue with me, and I am going to take it out on your body somehow." He trails kisses along my belly, his hands traveling up my thighs, stroking, kneading, tantalizing. His tongue circles my navel as his hands -- and his thumbs… oh his thumbs -- reach the summit of my thighs.
查看中文翻译
He takes pity on me and stops. Lifting my feet off the keys, he pushes me; and suddenly, I'm sliding effortlessly up the piano, gliding on satin, and he's following me up there, briefly kneeling between my legs to roll on a condom. He hovers over me and I'm panting, gazing up at him with raging need, and I realize he's naked. When did he take off his clothes?
查看中文翻译
He stares down at me, and there's wonder in his eyes, wonder and love and passion, and it's breathtaking.
查看中文翻译
"I want you so badly," he says and very slowly, exquisitely, he sinks into me.
查看中文翻译
"Do you drink tea or coffee in the evening?" I ask sleepily.
查看中文翻译
I am sprawled on top of him, wrung out, my limbs heavy and languid, as we lie on top of his grand piano. Oh my. He's much more comfortable to lie on than the piano. Careful not to touch his chest, I rest my cheek against him and keep perfectly still. He doesn't object, and I listen to his breathing as it slows like mine. Gently he strokes my hair.
查看中文翻译
"I thought I could bring you tea in your study, and then I realized I didn't know what you would like."
查看中文翻译
His hand moves rhythmically down my back, stroking me tenderly.
查看中文翻译
"What a strange question," he says dreamily.
查看中文翻译
"We really know very little about each other," I murmur.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, I see. Water or wine in the evening, Ana. Though maybe I should try tea."
查看中文翻译
"I know," he says, and his voice is mournful. I sit up to gaze at him.
查看中文翻译
"What is it?" I ask. He shakes his head as if to rid himself of some unpleasant thought, and raising his hand, he caresses my cheek, his eyes bright and earnest.
查看中文翻译
The alarm goes off with the six a. m. traffic news, and I am rudely awakened from my disturbing dream of overly blonde and dark-haired women. I can't grasp what it's about, and I'm immediately distracted because Christian Grey is wrapped around me like silk, his unruly-haired head on my chest, his hand on my breast, his leg over me, holding me down. He's still asleep, and I am too warm. But I ignore my discomfort, tentatively reaching up to run my fingers gently through his hair, and he stirs. Raising bright gray eyes, he grins sleepily. Oh my… he's adorable.
查看中文翻译
"I love you, Ana Steele," he says.
查看中文翻译
"Good morning, beautiful, yourself." I smile back at him. He kisses me, disentangles himself, and leans up on his elbow, staring down at me.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, despite the interruption to my sleep last night."
查看中文翻译
"Good morning, beautiful," he says.
查看中文翻译
His grin broadens. "Hmm. You can interrupt me like that anytime." He kisses me again.
查看中文翻译
"Sleep okay?" he asks.
查看中文翻译
"How about you? Did you sleep well?"
查看中文翻译
"I always sleep well with you, Anastasia."
查看中文翻译
I frown and chance a question. "What are your nightmares about?"
查看中文翻译
"No more nightmares?"
查看中文翻译
"No."
查看中文翻译
"Do you wake up crying and screaming?" I try in vain to joke.
查看中文翻译
His brow creases and his grin fades. Shit -- my stupid curiosity.
查看中文翻译
"Do you have any happy memories of your childhood?" I ask quickly, mainly to distract him. He looks pensive for a moment, still running his finger along my skin.
查看中文翻译
"They're flashbacks of my early childhood, or so Dr. Flynn says. Some vivid, some less so." His voice drops and a distant, harrowed look crosses his face. Absentmindedly, he begins to trace my collarbone with his finger, distracting me.
查看中文翻译
"I recall the crack whore baking. I remember the smell. A birthday cake I think. For me. And then there's Mia's arrival with my mom and dad. My mom was worried about my reaction, but I adored baby Mia immediately. My first word was Mia. I remember my first piano lesson. Miss Kathie, my tutor, was awesome. She kept horses, too." He smiles wistfully.
查看中文翻译
He looks at me, puzzled. "No, Anastasia. I've never cried. As far as I can remember." He frowns, as if reaching into the depths of his memories. Oh no -- that's too dark a place to go at this hour, surely.
查看中文翻译
"You said your mom saved you. How?"
查看中文翻译
"She adopted me," he says simply. "I thought she was an angel when I first met her. She was dressed in white and so gentle and calm as she examined me. I'll never forget that. If she'd said no or if Carrick had said no…" He shrugs and glances over his shoulder at the alarm clock. "This is all a little deep for so early in the morning," he mutters.
查看中文翻译
"I have made a vow to get to know you better."
查看中文翻译
"I think I know you quite well enough that way." My voice is haughty and scolding, and it makes him smile more broadly.
查看中文翻译
"I don't think I'll ever get to know you well enough that way," he murmurs. "There are definite advantages to waking up beside you." His voice is soft and bone-meltingly seductive.
查看中文翻译
His reverie is broken, and he gazes at me as if I don't understand the elementary math of two plus two.
查看中文翻译
"Did you, now, Miss Steele? I thought you wanted to know if I preferred coffee or tea." He smirks. "Anyway, I can think of one way you can get to know me." He pushes his hips suggestively against me.
查看中文翻译
"Not this morning. Only one place I want to be up right now, Miss Steele." And his eyes sparkle salaciously.
查看中文翻译
"Christian!" I gasp, shocked. He shifts suddenly so that he's on top of me, pressing me into the bed. Grabbing my hands, he pulls them up above my head and begins to kiss my throat.
查看中文翻译
And I am lost, interrogation over.
查看中文翻译
Mrs. Jones sets down my breakfast of pancakes and bacon, and for Christian an omelet and bacon. We sit side by side at the bar in a comfortable silence.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Miss Steele." He smiles against my skin, sending delicious tingles through me, as his hand travels down my body and starts to slowly hitch up my satin nightdress. "Oh, what I'd like to do to you," he murmurs.
查看中文翻译
"When am I going to meet your trainer, Claude, and put him through his paces?" I ask. Christian glances down at me, grinning.
查看中文翻译
"Don't you have to get up?" My voice is low and husky. Oh… what he does to me…
查看中文翻译
"Depends if you want to go to New York this weekend or not -- unless you'd like to see him early one morning this week. I'll ask Andrea to check on his schedule and come back to you."
查看中文翻译
Oh yes. "One of your many blondes," I tease him.
查看中文翻译
"Maybe Claude can teach me to kickbox," I warn.
查看中文翻译
Mrs. Jones leans over and places a paper bag containing my lunch in front of me, making me flush guiltily.
查看中文翻译
Oh yes… fun times on the piano.
查看中文翻译
I glance behind me at the piano, savoring the memory of last night. "You put the lid of the piano back up."
查看中文翻译
He grins as if he's forgotten. "So you do." His beaming smile is infectious.
查看中文翻译
"My PA."
查看中文翻译
"Oh yeah? To improve your odds against me?" Christian raises an eyebrow, amused. "Bring it on, Miss Steele." He is so damned happy compared to yesterday's foul mood after Elena left. It's totally disarming. Maybe it's all the sex… perhaps that's what's making him so buoyant.
查看中文翻译
"For later, Ana. Tuna, okay?"
查看中文翻译
"I work for you," I mutter sourly.
查看中文翻译
"I closed it last night so as not to disturb you. Guess it didn't work, but I'm glad it didn't." Christian's lips twitch into a lascivious smile as he takes a bite of omelet. I go crimson and smirk back at him.
查看中文翻译
"She's not mine. She works for me. You're mine."
查看中文翻译
"Andrea?"
查看中文翻译
"Honestly?"
查看中文翻译
He rolls his eyes. "What?" he says, and now he's exasperated.
查看中文翻译
His amused expression slips. "Of course."
查看中文翻译
"What sort of games do you want to play?"
查看中文翻译
"But I now have a supplementary question."
查看中文翻译
"I endeavor to be."
查看中文翻译
"Oh?"
查看中文翻译
"Is it about Elena?"
查看中文翻译
"Why do you get so mad when I ask you about her?"
查看中文翻译
"Can I ask you something?" I turn back to Christian.
查看中文翻译
I giggle. He's right. "Mr. Grey, you are distracting on so many levels." I gaze at his dancing gray eyes alight with humor.
查看中文翻译
I scowl at him. "I thought you were always honest with me."
查看中文翻译
I narrow my eyes at him. "That sounds like a very evasive answer."
查看中文翻译
"No."
查看中文翻译
"Then I won't be angry."
查看中文翻译
"Which is about her."
查看中文翻译
"I am always honest with you, Ana. I don't want to play games. Well, not those sorts of games," he qualifies, as his eyes heat.
查看中文翻译
"And you won't be angry?"
查看中文翻译
He inclines his head to one side and smirks at me. "Miss Steele, you are so easily distracted."
查看中文翻译
"Oh yes. Thank you, Mrs. Jones." I give her a shy smile, which she reciprocates warmly before leaving the great room. I suspect it's to give us some privacy.
查看中文翻译
I grin at him. "So, no sex during the week."
查看中文翻译
"Yes, that's correct," he says regarding me nervously.
查看中文翻译
"My favorite sound in the whole world is your giggle, Anastasia. Now -- what was your original question?" he asks smoothly, and I think he's laughing at me. I try to twist my mouth to show my displeasure, but I like playful Fifty -- he's fun. I love some early morning banter. I frown, trying to recall my question.
查看中文翻译
He laughs. "Oh, that's where we're going with this." He looks vaguely relieved. "Why do you think I work out every weekday?" Now he really is laughing at me, but I don't care. I want to hug myself with glee. Another first -- well, several firsts.
查看中文翻译
"You look very pleased with yourself, Miss Steele."
查看中文翻译
"You should be." He grins. "Now eat your breakfast."
查看中文翻译
"I am, Mr. Grey."
查看中文翻译
"Oh yes. You only saw your subs on the weekends?"
查看中文翻译
Oh, bossy Fifty… he's never far away.
查看中文翻译
We are in the back of the Audi. Taylor is driving with the intention of dropping me off at work, then Christian. Sawyer is riding shotgun.
查看中文翻译
"Didn't you say your roommate's brother was arriving today?" Christian asks, almost casually, his voice and expression giving nothing away.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, dear," I mutter.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Ethan," I gasp. "I forgot. Oh Christian, thank you for reminding me. I'll have to go back to the apartment."
查看中文翻译
"Okay," he acquiesces. "Nowhere on your own. Do you understand?" He waves a finger at me.
查看中文翻译
His face falls. "What time?"
查看中文翻译
He gazes at me, saying nothing. Oh, what is he thinking?
查看中文翻译
"I know," I mutter and resist rolling my eyes at Mr. Overreaction. "Will Sawyer be spying -- um… patrolling today?" I glance slyly in Sawyer's direction to see the backs of his ears turn red.
查看中文翻译
"Yes," Christian snaps, his eyes glacial.
查看中文翻译
"Okay. I think Ethan will probably contact me during the day. I'll let you know what the plans are then."
查看中文翻译
There's a trace of a smile on his face. "And maybe you should just use your BlackBerry -- I'll e-mail you on it. That should prevent my IT guy having a thoroughly interesting morning, okay?" His voice is sardonic.
查看中文翻译
"I'm not sure what time he's arriving."
查看中文翻译
"I don't want you going anywhere on your own," he says sharply.
查看中文翻译
"Sawyer will have a car, and he can drive you to your apartment, depending on what time."
查看中文翻译
"If I were driving the Saab it would be easier," I mutter petulantly.
查看中文翻译
He laughs and then is distracted by his BlackBerry, which must be on vibrate because it doesn't ring. He frowns when he sees the caller ID.
查看中文翻译
"Why Miss Steele, I do believe you're making my palm twitch."
查看中文翻译
"Yes, Christian." I can't resist. I roll my eyes at him, and he smirks at me.
查看中文翻译
"Ah, Mr. Grey, your perpetually twitching palm. What are we going to do with that?"
查看中文翻译
"What is it?" he snaps into the phone, then listens intently. I use the opportunity to study his lovely features -- his straight nose, his hair hanging scruffily over his forehead. I am distracted from my surreptitious ogling by his expression, which turns from incredulity to amusement. I pay attention.
查看中文翻译
"You're kidding… For a scene… When did he tell you this?" Christian chuckles, almost reluctantly. "No, don't worry. You don't have to apologize. I'm glad there's a logical explanation. It did seem a ridiculously low amount of money… I have no doubt you've something evil and creative planned for your revenge. Poor Isaac." He smiles. "Good… Good-bye." He snaps the phone shut and glances at me. His eyes are suddenly wary, but oddly, he looks relieved, too.
查看中文翻译
Whoa! He has a hotline to my groin, I gasp and glance nervously at Taylor and Sawyer, then at Christian, and his eyes are darker. He gives me a slow, carnal smile.
查看中文翻译
With that response, I know. I shake my head and stare out my window at the gray Seattle day, feeling forlorn. Why can't she leave him alone?
查看中文翻译
"Who was that?" I ask.
查看中文翻译
"Don't sweat it, Anastasia," he murmurs. "She's in the past." And he plants a kiss in the center of my palm, sending tingles everywhere, and my momentary pique is forgotten.
查看中文翻译
"Hey." He reaches for my hand and kisses each of my knuckles in turn, and suddenly he's sucking my little finger, hard. Then biting it softly.
查看中文翻译
"You really want to know?" he asks quietly.
查看中文翻译
I flush. The dress is part of my new wardrobe, courtesy of my incredibly rich boyfriend. It's a sleeveless shift dress of pale blue linen, quite fitted, and I'm wearing cream high-heeled sandals. Christian likes heels, I think. I smile secretly at the thought but quickly recover my bland professional smile for my boss.
查看中文翻译
"Morning, Ana," Jack mutters as I make my way to my desk. "Nice dress."
查看中文翻译
"You took your time!" Jack snaps when I bring in his coffee.
查看中文翻译
"Good morning, Jack."
查看中文翻译
Honey?
查看中文翻译
"He's not bad-looking." I smile and we both start laughing.
查看中文翻译
I am tempted to roll my eyes at her.
查看中文翻译
We chat briefly about her extended-family gathering over the weekend, which she enjoyed immensely, and I tell her about sailing with Christian.
查看中文翻译
"Your boyfriend is so dreamy, Ana," she says, her eyes glazing over.
查看中文翻译
"Sure." I wander into the kitchen and bump into Claire from Reception, who is also fixing coffee.
查看中文翻译
I set about ordering a messenger to take his brochure to the printers. He pops his head around his office door.
查看中文翻译
Oh! "I'm sorry." I flush, then frown. I took the usual amount of time. What's his problem? Perhaps he's nervous about something.
查看中文翻译
"Hi, Claire."
查看中文翻译
He shakes his head. "Sorry, Ana. I didn't mean to bark at you, honey."
查看中文翻译
"Hey, Ana," she says cheerfully.
查看中文翻译
"Could I have a coffee, please, Ana?"
查看中文翻译
"There's something going on at senior management level, and I don't know what it is. Keep your ear to the ground, okay? If you hear anything -- I know how you girls talk." He grins at me, and I feel slightly sick. He has no idea how we "girls" talk. Besides, I know what's happening.
查看中文翻译
I think my face splits in two with my grin.

I am relieved to step out of his office and sit down at my desk. Oh, it's hard being in the know. What will he do when he finds out? My blood runs cold. Something tells me Jack will be annoyed. I glance at my BlackBerry and smile. There's an e-mail from Christian.

Dear Sex Mad and Insatiable
查看中文翻译
====================
查看中文翻译
At lunchtime jack asks me to go down to the deli for him. I call Christian as soon as I leave Jack's office.
查看中文翻译
"Lazy bastard," Christian gripes.
查看中文翻译
"Are you on your own?"
查看中文翻译
"Er -- I'd better go." I am sure he can tell how embarrassed I am to be interrupting him.
查看中文翻译
"It's no bother, baby."
查看中文翻译
"Christian, Jack has asked me to get his lunch."
查看中文翻译
Holy cow! "They probably all thought you were gay, you know."
查看中文翻译
Shit…"Really?" I gasp, panicked.
查看中文翻译
"Anastasia." He answers immediately, his voice warm and caressing. How is it that this man can make me melt over the phone?
查看中文翻译
"Not yet. You'll be the first to know, Mr. Grey."
查看中文翻译
He laughs. "Yeah, probably." I hear his grin.
查看中文翻译
"I'll let Sawyer know." He laughs again. "Have you heard from your friend?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes. Really. My girlfriend," he announces away from the phone.
查看中文翻译
"No. There are six people staring at me right now wondering who the hell I'm talking to."
查看中文翻译
I ignore him and continue. "So, I'm going to get it. It might be handy if you gave me Sawyer's number, so I don't have to bother you."
查看中文翻译
"Bye, Christian." I grin. Every time he says that, it makes me smile… so un-Fifty, but somehow so him, too.
查看中文翻译
"Good. Laters, baby."
查看中文翻译
When I exit seconds later, Sawyer is waiting on the doorstep of the building.
查看中文翻译
"Miss Steele," he greets me formally.
查看中文翻译
"Sawyer." I nod in response and together we head down to the deli.
查看中文翻译
I don't feel as comfortable with Sawyer as I do with Taylor. He keeps scanning the street as we make our way along the block. It actually makes me more nervous, and I find myself mirroring his actions.
查看中文翻译
I miss Kate. It's only been two weeks since she left for her vacation, but it feels like the longest two weeks of my life. So much has happened -- she'll never believe me when I tell her. Well, tell her the edited, NDA-compliant version. I frown. I'll have to talk to Christian about that. What would Kate make of it? I blanch at the thought. Perhaps she'll be back with Ethan. I feel a rush of excitement at the thought, but I think it's unlikely. She'd probably stay on with Elliot.
查看中文翻译
There's nothing amiss, just lunchtime Seattle -- people rushing for lunch, shopping, meeting friends. I watch two young women hug as they meet up.
查看中文翻译
Is Leila out there? Or are we all infected by Christian's paranoia? Is this part of his fifty shades? What I'd give for half an hour of candid discussion with Dr. Flynn to find out.
查看中文翻译
"Doesn't it get very boring?"
查看中文翻译
Of course. I'd really like to examine a photograph of Leila to see what she looked like before she became Ghost Girl. I wonder if Christian would let me have a copy? Yes, he probably would -- for my safety. I hatch a plan, and my subconscious gloats and nods approvingly.
查看中文翻译
"Not to me, ma'am. It's what I do," he says stiffly.
查看中文翻译
"I've seen her photograph."
查看中文翻译
I flush. "Sorry, I didn't mean to imply…" My voice trails off at his kind, understanding expression.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, do you have it on you?"
查看中文翻译
"No, ma'am."
查看中文翻译
I frown. "How do you know what she looks like?"
查看中文翻译
"Where do you stand when you're waiting and watching outside?" I ask Sawyer as we get in line for lunch. Sawyer is in front of me, facing the door, continually monitoring the street and anyone who comes in. It's unnerving.
查看中文翻译
"I sit in the coffee shop directly across the street, Miss Steele."
查看中文翻译
"No, ma'am." He taps his skull. "Committed to memory."
查看中文翻译
"So, no sign of Leila?"
查看中文翻译
"Please, Miss Steele. My job is to protect you. And that's what I'll do."
查看中文翻译
"Yes. We live together." It's sort of the truth. Well, we do at the moment. And I have officially agreed to move in, so it's not much of a white lie. I hope that it's enough to throw him off the scent.
查看中文翻译
The brochures arrive back at the office, and to my relief they look great. I take one into Jack's office. His eyes light up; I don't know if it's at me or the brochure. I choose to believe it's the latter.
查看中文翻译
"These look great, Ana." Idly, he flicks through it. "Yeah, good job. Are you seeing your boyfriend this evening?" His lip curls as he says "boyfriend."
查看中文翻译
"Would he object to you coming out for a quick drink tonight? To celebrate all your hard work?"
查看中文翻译
"I see." He sighs, exasperated. "Maybe when I'm back from New York, huh?" He raises his eyebrows in expectation, and his gaze darkens suggestively.
查看中文翻译
Oh no. I smile, noncommittal, stifling a shudder.
查看中文翻译
"I have a friend coming in from out of town tonight, and we're all going out for dinner." And I'll be busy every night, Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Would you like some coffee or tea?" I ask.
查看中文翻译
"I'm at Sea-Tac, waiting for my bag. What are you doing?"
查看中文翻译
"Sounds great. I'll see you in about forty-five minutes, an hour maybe? What's the address?"
查看中文翻译
"Hi, Steele!" Ethan's drawl catches me momentarily off guard.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah! Sea, sand, sun, and rum punches sounds like Dante's Inferno." I giggle. "Where are you?"
查看中文翻译
"Glad to be back. I am seriously fed up with sunshine and rum punches, and my baby sister being hopelessly in love with the big guy. It's been hell, Ana."
查看中文翻译
"Ethan! How are you?" I almost squeal with delight.
查看中文翻译
"Ana Steele."
查看中文翻译
I breathe a long sigh of relief when I am out of his office. He makes me tense. Christian is right about him, and part of me is pissed that Christian is right about him.
查看中文翻译
I sit down at my desk and my BlackBerry rings -- a number I don't recognize.
查看中文翻译
"I'm at work. Yes, I am gainfully employed," I respond to his gasp. "Do you want to come here and collect the keys? I can meet you later at the apartment."
查看中文翻译
"Coffee, please." His voice is low and husky as if he's asking for something else. Fuck. He's not going to back off. I can see that now. Oh… What to do?
查看中文翻译
"Laters," he says and hangs up. What? Not Ethan, too? And it dawns on me that he's just spent a week with Elliot. I quickly type an e-mail to Christian.

Holy shit -- sun-bleached blond hair, a tan to die for, and glowing hazel eyes gaze up at me from the green leather couch. As soon as he sees me, his mouth drops open, and he's on his feet coming toward me.
查看中文翻译
"When's Kate coming back?"
查看中文翻译
Ethan! Grabbing my keys from my purse, I hurry out to the foyer.
查看中文翻译
"You look well." I grin up at him.
查看中文翻译
"You look… wow -- different. Worldly, more sophisticated. What's happened? You changed your hair? Clothes? I don't know, Steele, but you look hot!"
查看中文翻译
"How was Barbados?"
查看中文翻译
A little later, My phone buzzes. It's Claire at Reception.
查看中文翻译
"Fun," he says.
查看中文翻译
"Wow, Ana." He frowns at me as he bends to give me hug.
查看中文翻译
"There's a real cute guy in Reception to see you. We must go out for drinks sometime, Ana. You sure know some hunky guys," she hisses conspiratorially through the phone.
查看中文翻译
I blush furiously. "Oh, Ethan. I'm just in my work clothes," I scold as Claire looks on with an arched eyebrow and a wry smile.
查看中文翻译
"She and Elliot are flying back Friday. They're pretty damn serious about each other." Ethan rolls his eyes.
查看中文翻译
"I've missed her."
查看中文翻译
"Here." I hand him the keys. "You have the address?"
查看中文翻译
"Yeah? How have you been doing with Mr. Mogul?"
查看中文翻译
"It does. Laters." I smile at him as he picks up his large over-the-shoulder bag from beside the green couch and exits the building.
查看中文翻译
"Mr. Mogul?" I snicker. "Well, it's been interesting. He's taking us out for dinner this evening."
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, kind of grows on you."
查看中文翻译
"Cool." Ethan seems genuinely pleased. Phew!
查看中文翻译
When I turn, Jack is watching me from the far side of the foyer, his expression unreadable. I smile brightly at him and head back to my desk, feeling his eyes on me the whole time. This is beginning to get on my nerves. What to do? I have no idea. I'll have to wait until Kate is back. She's bound to come up with a plan. The thought dispels my bleak mood, and I pick up the next manuscript.
查看中文翻译
"Elliot's expression?"
查看中文翻译
At five to six, my phone buzzes. It's Christian.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah. Laters." He leans over and kisses my cheek.
查看中文翻译
"Crusty and Cross here," he says and I grin. He's still playful Fifty. My inner goddess is clapping her hands with glee like a small child.
查看中文翻译
I switch off my computer and gather up my purse and cream cardigan.
查看中文翻译
"I am indeed, Miss Steele. Looking forward to seeing you." His voice is warm and seductive, and my heart flutters wildly.
查看中文翻译
"I'm off now, Jack," I call through.
查看中文翻译
"Well, this is Sex Mad and Insatiable. I take it you're outside?" I ask dryly.
查看中文翻译
"Okay, Ana. Thanks for today! Have a great evening."
查看中文翻译
"Ditto, Mr. Grey. I'll be right out." I hang up.

"You, too."
查看中文翻译
Why can't he be like that all the time? I don't understand him.

He's spent the whole day acting like a boyfriend in love -- in love with me. This adorable, complex, flawed man is in love with me, and I with him. Joy bursts unexpectedly inside me, and I savor the moment as I feel briefly that I could conquer the world.

The Audi is parked at the curb, and Christian climbs out as I approach. He's taken off his jacket, and he's wearing his gray pants, my favorite ones that hang from his hips -- in that way. How can this Greek god be meant for me? I find myself grinning like a loon in answer to his own idiotic grin.

As Taylor heads to the apartment, Christian fills me in on his day -- a much better one than yesterday, it seems. I gaze at him adoringly as he attempts to explain some breakthrough the environmental science department at WSU in Vancouver has made.

The door buzzes, and I head upstairs to the apartment. It occurs to me that I have not been here since Saturday morning. That seems so long ago. Ethan has kindly left the front door open. I step into the apartment, and I don't know why, but I freeze instinctively as soon as I step inside. I take a moment to realize it's because the pale, wan figure standing by the kitchen island and holding a small revolver is Leila, and she's gazing impassively at me.
