He smiles, and it's a despotic fuck-you smile that finally touches his eyes. They glint in the harsh fluorescent glow of the strip light above us in the drab windowless room. He takes a step toward me, glaring, his eyes never leaving mine. His pupils are dilating as I watch -- the black eclipsing the blue. Oh no. My fear escalates.
查看中文翻译
Jack's eyes flash the darkest blue, and he sneers as he casts a leering look down my body.
查看中文翻译
"Jack, now might not be a good time for this. Your cab is due in ten minutes, and I need to give you all your documents." My voice is quiet but hoarse, betraying me.
查看中文翻译
"You know I had to fight with Elizabeth to give you this job…" His voice trails off as he takes another step toward me, and I step back against the dingy wall cupboards. Keep him talking, keep him talking, keep him talking.
查看中文翻译
Fear chokes me. What is this? What does he want? From somewhere deep inside and despite my dry mouth, I find the resolve and courage to squeeze out some words, my self-defense class "Keep them talking" mantra circling my brain like an ethereal sentinel.
查看中文翻译
"Jack, what exactly is your problem? If you want to air your grievances, then perhaps we should ask HR to get involved. We could do this with Elizabeth in a more formal setting."
查看中文翻译
"I decided to check through your e-mail account to see if I could find any clues. And you know what I found, Ana? What was out of place? The only personal e-mails in your account were to your hotshot boyfriend." He pauses, assessing my reaction. "And I got to thinking… where are the e-mails from him? There are none. Nada. Nothing. So what's going on, Ana? How come his e-mails to you aren't on our system? Are you some company spy, planted in here by Grey's organization? Is that what this is?"
查看中文翻译
"We don't need HR to overmanage this situation, Ana." He sneers. "When I hired you, I thought you would be a hard worker. I thought you had potential. But now, I don't know. You've become distracted and sloppy. And I wondered… is it your boyfriend who's leading you astray?" He says "boyfriend" with chilling contempt.
查看中文翻译
Where is Security? Are they in the building yet?
查看中文翻译
"How did he manage that, Ana? What did your rich, Ivy League boyfriend do?"
查看中文翻译
"Jack, what are you talking about?" I try for bewildered, and I'm pretty convincing. This conversation is not going as I expected, and I don't trust him in the slightest. Some subliminal pheromone that Jack is exuding has me on high alert. This man is angry, volatile, and totally unpredictable. I try to reason with him.
查看中文翻译
Holy shit, the e-mails. Oh no. What have I said?
查看中文翻译
"You just said that you had to persuade Elizabeth to hire me. So how could I be planted as a spy? Make up your mind, Jack."
查看中文翻译
"But Grey fucked the New York trip, didn't he?"
查看中文翻译
Oh, shit.
查看中文翻译
Jack continues, enjoying my discomfort. "And he thinks I'd make a pass at you?" He smirks and his eyes heat. "Well, I want you to think about something while I'm in New York. I gave you this job, and I expect you to show me some gratitude. In fact, I'm entitled to it. I had to fight to get you. Elizabeth wanted someone better qualified, but I -- I saw something in you. So, we need to work out a deal. A deal where you keep me happy. D'you understand what I'm saying, Ana?"
查看中文翻译
What little blood remains in my face drains away, and I think I'm going to faint. "I don't know what you're talking about, Jack," I whisper. "Your cab will be here shortly. Shall I fetch your things?" Oh, please, let me go. Stop this.
查看中文翻译
"Look at it as refining your job description if you like. And if you keep me happy, I won't dig any further into how your boyfriend is pulling strings, milking his contacts, or cashing in some favor from one of his Ivy League frat-boy sycophants."
查看中文翻译
Fuck!
查看中文翻译
What? Prick tease… Me?
查看中文翻译
"You are such a tight-assed, cock-blocking, prick tease, you know, Ana," he whispers through clenched teeth.
查看中文翻译
My mouth drops open. He's blackmailing me. For sex! And what can I say? News of Christian's takeover is embargoed for another three weeks. I can barely believe this. Sex -- with me!
查看中文翻译
Jack moves closer until he's standing right in front of me, staring down into my eyes. His cloying sweet cologne invades my nostrils -- it's nauseating -- and if I'm not mistaken, the bitter stench of alcohol is on his breath. Fuck, he's been drinking… when?
查看中文翻译
"Jack, I have no idea what you're talking about," I whisper, as I feel the adrenaline surge through my body. He's closer now. I am waiting to make my move. Ray will be proud. Ray taught me what to do. Ray knows his self-defense. If Jack touches me -- if he even breathes too close to me -- I will take him down. My breath is shallow. I must not faint, I must not faint.
查看中文翻译
"You have, you prick-teasing bitch. I can read the signs." Reaching up, he gently strokes my face with the back of his knuckles, down to my chin. His index finger strokes my throat, and my heart leaps into my mouth as I fight my gag reflex. He reaches the dip at the base of my neck, where the top button of my black shirt is open, and presses his hand against my chest.
查看中文翻译
"Look at you." He gives me a leering look. "You're so turned on, I can tell. You've really led me on. Deep down you want it. I know."
查看中文翻译
"Arrgh!" he cries out in pain and surprise, and as he leans off balance, I bring my knee, swift and hard, up into his groin, and make perfect contact with my goal. I dodge deftly to my left as his knees buckle, and he collapses with a groan onto the kitchen floor, grasping himself between his legs.
查看中文翻译
Keeping my eyes firmly fixed on his and concentrating on what I have to do -- rather than my mushrooming revulsion and dread -- I place my hand gently over his in a caress. He smiles in triumph. I grab his little finger and twist it back, pulling it sharply down backward to his hip.
查看中文翻译
Holy fuck. The man is completely delusional. My fear rises to DEFCON 1, threatening to overwhelm me. "No, Jack. I have never led you on."
查看中文翻译
"You want me. Admit it, Ana."
查看中文翻译
"Don't you ever touch me again," I snarl at him. "Your itinerary and the brochures are packaged on my desk. I am going home now. Have a nice trip. And in the future, get your own damn coffee."
查看中文翻译
I run full tilt to my desk, grab my jacket and my purse, and dash to Reception, ignoring the moans and curses emanating from the bastard still prostrate on the kitchen floor. I burst out of the building and stop for a minute as the cool air hits my face. I take a deep breath and compose myself. But I haven't eaten all day, and as the very unwelcome surge of adrenaline recedes, my legs give out beneath me and I sink to the ground.
查看中文翻译
I watch with mild detachment the slow motion movie that plays out in front of me: Christian and Taylor in dark suits and white shirts, leaping out of the waiting car and running toward me. Christian sinks to his knees at my side, and on some unconscious level, all I can think is: He's here. My love is here.
查看中文翻译
"You fucking bitch!" he half screams, half groans at me, but I am already out the door.
查看中文翻译
"Jack," I whisper, and I sense rather than see Christian's swift glance at Taylor, who abruptly disappears into the building.
查看中文翻译
"Ana, Ana! What's wrong?" He scoops me into his lap, running his hands up and down my arms, checking for any signs of injury. Grabbing my head between his hands, he stares with wide, terrified, gray eyes into mine. I sag against him, suddenly overwhelmed with relief and fatigue. Oh, Christian's arms. There is no place I'd rather be.
查看中文翻译
I shake my head as I realize I need to start communicating.
查看中文翻译
And from somewhere just the right side of crazy, a giggle bubbles in my throat. I recall Jack's utter shock as I grabbed his finger.
查看中文翻译
"Ana!" Christian shakes me again, and my giggling fit ceases. "Did he touch you?"
查看中文翻译
"Ana." He shakes me gently. "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
查看中文翻译
"It's what I did to him." I start giggling and I can't stop.
查看中文翻译
"Fuck!" Christian enfolds me in his arms. "What did that sleazeball do to you?"
查看中文翻译
Christian's muscles bunch and tense as rage sweeps through him, and he stands up swiftly, powerfully -- rock steady -- with me in his arms. He's furious. No!
查看中文翻译
"Only once."
查看中文翻译
Oh no. What has Taylor done?
查看中文翻译
"Can you stand?"
查看中文翻译
I nod.
查看中文翻译
Oh no. I'm in trouble. Who's he calling?
查看中文翻译
"Don't go in. Don't, Christian." Suddenly my fear is back, fear of what Christian will do to Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Fuck!" he splutters and narrows his eyes at me. He punches a number into his BlackBerry.
查看中文翻译
Oh, shit.
查看中文翻译
"My e-mails to you. He wanted to know where your e-mails to me were. He was trying to blackmail me."
查看中文翻译
From inside the building we hear muffled shouting. Christian sets me on my feet.
查看中文翻译
"Barney. Grey. I need you to access the SIP main server and wipe all Anastasia Steele's e-mails to me. Then access the personal data files of Jack Hyde and check they aren't stored there. If they are, wipe them… Yes, all of them. Now. Let me know when it's done."
查看中文翻译
Christian fishes out his BlackBerry.
查看中文翻译
Seething, Christian runs his hand through his hair and glares down at me, clearly wracked with indecision. The shouting inside the building escalates, and then stops suddenly.
查看中文翻译
"Christian, he has my e-mails."
查看中文翻译
"What?"
查看中文翻译
"No! Please!" I plead with him. "Stay. Don't leave me on my own." I deploy my ultimate weapon.
查看中文翻译
Christian's look is murderous.
查看中文翻译
"Where is that fucker?"
查看中文翻译
"Get in the goddamned car, Ana." He shakes me off.
查看中文翻译
"Get in the car," he barks at me.
查看中文翻译
"Christian, no." I grab his arm.
查看中文翻译
"BlackBerry," he hisses at me through clenched teeth.
查看中文翻译
"Roach. Grey. Hyde -- I want him out. Now. This minute. Call Security. Get him to clear his desk immediately, or I will liquidate this company first thing in the morning. You already have all the justification you need to give him his pink slip. Do you understand?" He listens briefly and hangs up, seemingly satisfied.
查看中文翻译
"I am so mad at you right now," he snarls and once more sweeps his hand through his hair. "Get in the car."
查看中文翻译
"Please don't be mad at me." I blink up at him.
查看中文翻译
"Christian, please --"
查看中文翻译
He stabs the "off" button then dials another number.
查看中文翻译
"Get in the fucking car, Anastasia, or so help me I'll put you in there myself," he threatens, his eyes blazing with fury.
查看中文翻译
Oh, shit. "Don't do anything stupid, please," I beg.
查看中文翻译
"STUPID!" he explodes. "I told you to use your fucking BlackBerry. Don't talk to me about stupid. Get in the motherfucking car, Anastasia -- NOW!" he snarls, and a frisson of fear runs through me. This is Very Angry Christian. I've not seen him this mad before. He's barely holding on to his self-control.
查看中文翻译
Jeez, okay, I get the message.
查看中文翻译
Pressing his lips together in a hard line, he points angrily to the car, glaring at me.
查看中文翻译
"Please be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you. It would kill me," I murmur. He blinks rapidly and stills, lowering his arm while he takes a deep breath.
查看中文翻译
I sit and wait. And wait. And wait. Five eternal minutes. Jack's cab pulls up in front of the Audi. Ten minutes. Fifteen. Jeez, what are they doing in there, and how is Taylor? The wait is agonizing.
查看中文翻译
"I'll be careful," he says, his eyes softening. Oh, thank the Lord. His eyes burn into me as I head to the car, open the front passenger door, and climb in. Once I'm safely in the comfort of the Audi, he disappears into the building, and my heart leaps again into my throat. What's he planning to do?
查看中文翻译
Twenty-five minutes later, Jack emerges from the building, clutching a cardboard storage box. Behind him is the security guard. Where was he earlier? And after them come Christian and Taylor. Jack looks sick. He heads straight for the cab, and I'm grateful for the Audi's heavily tinted windows so he cannot see me. The cab drives off -- presumably not to Sea-Tac -- as Christian and Taylor reach the car.
查看中文翻译
"Okay," I mutter, placating him. "But please, be careful."
查看中文翻译
Christian glances at me, before fixing his eyes back on the road ahead, and I can tell he's still mad.
查看中文翻译
"Are you talking to me?" I ask quietly.
查看中文翻译
"No problem, Mr. Grey."
查看中文翻译
What else is on Jack's computer?
查看中文翻译
"Barney, I'm on speakerphone, and there are others in the car," Christian warns.
查看中文翻译
"Sir, it's all done. But I need to talk to you about what else I found on Mr. Hyde's computer."
查看中文翻译
Opening the driver's door, Christian slides smoothly into the seat, presumably because I am in the front, and Taylor gets in behind me. Neither of them says a word as Christian starts the car and pulls out into the traffic. I risk a quick glance at Fifty. His mouth is set in a firm line, but he seems distracted. The car phone rings.
查看中文翻译
"I'll call you when I reach my destination. And thanks, Barney."
查看中文翻译
"Grey," Christian snaps.
查看中文翻译
Barney hangs up. He sounds much younger than I expected.
查看中文翻译
Oh, there we go… how childish. I wrap my arms around myself and stare unseeing out the window. Perhaps I should just ask him to drop me off at my apartment; then he can "not talk" to me from the safety of Escala and save us both the inevitable quarrel. But even as I think it, I know I don't want to leave him to brood, not after yesterday.
查看中文翻译
"Mr. Grey, Barney here."
查看中文翻译
"No," he mutters sullenly.
查看中文翻译
"Christian, why are you so mad at me?" I whisper as we wait.
查看中文翻译
Eventually we pull up in front of his apartment building, and Christian climbs out of the car. Moving with easy grace around to my side, he opens my door.
查看中文翻译
"You know why," he mutters as we step into the elevator, and he punches in the code to his floor. "God, if something had happened to you, he'd be dead by now." Christian's tone chills me to the bone. The doors close.
查看中文翻译
His hands fist in my hair as he pulls my face up to his, and his mouth is on mine, a passionate desperation in his kiss. I don't know why this takes me by surprise, but it does. I taste his relief, his longing, and his residual anger while his tongue possesses my mouth. He stops, gazing down at me, resting his weight against me so I can't move. He leaves me breathless, clinging to him for support, staring up into that beautiful face etched with determination and without any trace of humor.
查看中文翻译
"Come," he orders as Taylor clambers into the driver's seat. I take his proffered hand and follow him through the grand foyer to the elevator. He doesn't let go of me.
查看中文翻译
"As it is, I'm going to ruin his career so he can't take advantage of young women anymore, miserable excuse for a man that he is." He shakes his head. "Jesus, Ana!" He grabs me suddenly, imprisoning me in the corner of the elevator.
查看中文翻译
"Good."
查看中文翻译
"If anything had happened to you… If he'd harmed you…" I feel the shudder that runs through him. "BlackBerry," he commands quietly. "From now on. Understand?"
查看中文翻译
He straightens, releasing me as the elevator comes to a stop. "He said you kicked him in the balls." Christian's tone is lighter with a trace of admiration, and I think I'm forgiven.
查看中文翻译
I nod, swallowing, unable to break eye contact from his grim, mesmerizing look.
查看中文翻译
"Ray is ex-army. He taught me well."
查看中文翻译
"Yes," I whisper, still reeling from the intensity of his kiss and his impassioned command.
查看中文翻译
"Can I help?" I ask.
查看中文翻译
"I'm very glad he did," he breathes and adds, arching a brow, "I'll need to remember that." Taking my hand, he leads me out of the elevator and I follow, relieved. I think that's as bad as his mood is going to get.
查看中文翻译
"I need to call Barney. I won't be long." He disappears into his study, leaving me stranded in the vast living room. Mrs. Jones is adding the finishing touches to our meal. I realize I am famished, but I need something to do.
查看中文翻译
She laughs. "No, Ana. Can I fix you a drink or something? You look beat."
查看中文翻译
"I'd love a glass of wine."
查看中文翻译
"Yes, please."
查看中文翻译
"White?"
查看中文翻译
I perch on one of the barstools, and she hands me a glass of chilled wine. I don't know what it is, but it's delicious and slides down easily, soothing my shattered nerves. What was I thinking about earlier today? How alive I have felt since I met Christian. How exciting my life has become. Jeez, could I just have a few boring days?
查看中文翻译
"Good evening, Mr. Grey. Dinner in ten, sir?"
查看中文翻译
"Evening, Gail," Christian says as he comes back into the great room, dragging me from my thoughts. Heading straight to the fridge, he pours himself a glass of wine.
查看中文翻译
What if I'd never met Christian? I'd be holed up in my apartment, talking it through with Ethan, completely freaked by my encounter with Jack, knowing I would have to face the sleazeball again on Friday. As it is, there's every chance I'll never set eyes on him again. But who will I work for now? I frown. I hadn't thought of that. Shit, do I even have a job?
查看中文翻译
"Then you still have one."
查看中文翻译
"To ex-military men who train their daughters well," he says and his eyes soften.
查看中文翻译
"Cheers," I mutter, raising my glass.
查看中文翻译
"What's wrong?" Christian asks.
查看中文翻译
"He wants to go out. For a drink. With me."
查看中文翻译
"Oh?" Christian turns to face me.
查看中文翻译
He cocks his head to the side. "Do you still want one?"
查看中文翻译
"He wants to deliver your photos on Friday."
查看中文翻译
Simple. See? He is master of my universe. I roll my eyes at him and he smiles.
查看中文翻译
"Sounds good."
查看中文翻译
Mrs. Jones makes a mean chicken potpie. She has left us to enjoy the fruits of her labors, and I feel much better now I've had something to eat. We are sitting at the breakfast bar, and despite my best cajoling, Christian won't tell me what Barney has found on Jack's computer. I drop the subject, and decide to tackle instead the thorny issue of José's impending visit.
查看中文翻译
Christian raises his glass.
查看中文翻译
"José called," I say nonchalantly.
查看中文翻译
"Of course."
查看中文翻译
"I don't know if I still have a job."
查看中文翻译
"A personal delivery. How accommodating of him," Christian mutters.
查看中文翻译
"I see."
查看中文翻译
"He wants to see me, not Ethan."
查看中文翻译
"And Kate and Elliot should be back," I add quickly.
查看中文翻译
"I don't like it."
查看中文翻译
"He's just a friend." My voice is emphatic.
查看中文翻译
"What exactly are you asking?"
查看中文翻译
Christian's eyes widen. He looks dumbfounded.
查看中文翻译
I bristle. "I'm not asking anything. I'm informing you of my plans for Friday. Look, I want to see José, and he wants to stay over. Either he stays here or he can stay at my place, but if he does, I should be there, too."
查看中文翻译
Christian scowls at me.
查看中文翻译
So what? Jeez, he's irritating sometimes. I take a deep breath. "He's my friend, Christian. I haven't seen him since his show. And that was too brief. I know you don't have any friends, apart from that god-awful woman, but I don't moan about you seeing her," I snap. Christian blinks, shocked. "I want to see him. I've been a poor friend to him." My subconscious is alarmed. Are you stamping your little foot? Steady now!
查看中文翻译
"He made a pass at you."
查看中文翻译
"Christian, that was weeks ago. He was drunk, I was drunk, you saved the day -- it won't happen again. He's no Jack, for heaven's sake."
查看中文翻译
Christian puts his fork down, frowning at me.
查看中文翻译
"Ethan's there. He can keep him company."
查看中文翻译
"He can stay here, I suppose," he mutters. "I can keep an eye on him." He sounds petulant.
查看中文翻译
Christian gazes at me, perplexed, I think. Oh, what is he thinking?
查看中文翻译
"Think about what?"
查看中文翻译
"Thank you! You know, if I am going to live here, too…" I trail off. Christian nods. He knows what I'm trying to say. "It's not like you haven't got the space." I smirk.
查看中文翻译
"Most definitely, Mr. Grey." I get up just in case his palms start twitching, clear our plates, and then load them into the dishwasher.
查看中文翻译
"Exactly. I'd rather you didn't see her."
查看中文翻译
"Because it's not my place to say. You think she's your only friend." I shrug in exasperation. He really doesn't get it. How did this turn into a conversation about her? I don't even want to think about her. I try to steer us back to José. "Just as it's not your place to say if I can or can't see José. Don't you see that?"
查看中文翻译
"Why didn't you say?"
查看中文翻译
His lips turn up slowly. "Are you smirking at me, Miss Steele?"
查看中文翻译
Hallelujah!
查看中文翻译
"Elena. You'd rather I didn't see her?"
查看中文翻译
Gray eyes blaze at me. "Is that what you think?" he breathes.
查看中文翻译
"Cool. I'll find something to do."
查看中文翻译
"Come here," he orders, but his voice is soft and seductive, his eyes heated. I don't hesitate to walk into his arms, clasping him around his neck as he perches on his barstool. He wraps his arms around me, crushes me to him, and just holds me.
查看中文翻译
"I have to work for a while," he says apologetically.
查看中文翻译
"Gail will do that."
查看中文翻译
"I've done it now." I stand up and gaze at him. He's watching me intently.
查看中文翻译
"After what happened with that fucker? After what happened yesterday?" he adds, his voice quiet and earnest.
查看中文翻译
"Let's not fight," he murmurs. He kisses my hair and inhales deeply. "You smell heavenly as usual, Ana."
查看中文翻译
"So do you," I whisper and kiss his neck.
查看中文翻译
I gaze into dark, serious, eyes. Am I okay? "Yes," I whisper.
查看中文翻译
His arms tighten around me, and I feel safe, cherished, and loved all at once. It's blissful. Closing my eyes, I enjoy the feel of being in his arms. I love this man. I love his intoxicating scent, his strength, his mercurial ways -- my Fifty.
查看中文翻译
"Are you okay?" he whispers into my hair.
查看中文翻译
"Okay?"
查看中文翻译
I wander listlessly through the apartment. Christian is still working. I have showered and dressed in some sweats and a T-shirt of my own, and I'm bored. I don't want to read. If I sit still, I'll recall Jack and his fingers on me.
查看中文翻译
I check out my old bedroom, the subs' room. José can sleep here -- he'll like the view. It's about eight fifteen, and the sun is beginning to sink into the west. The lights of the city twinkle below me. It's glorious. Yes, José will like it here. I wonder idly where Christian will hang José's pictures of me. I'd rather he didn't. I am not keen on looking at myself.
查看中文翻译
All too soon he releases me. "I should only be a couple of hours."
查看中文翻译
Back down the hallway I find myself outside the playroom, and without thinking, I try the door handle. Christian normally keeps it locked, but to my surprise, the door opens. How strange. Feeling like a child playing hooky and straying into the forbidden forest, I walk in. It's dark. I flick the switch and the lights under the cornice light up with a soft glow. It's as I remember it. A womblike room.
查看中文翻译
As I pull open the top drawer I realize my blood is pounding through my veins. Why am I so nervous? This feels so illicit, as if I'm trespassing, which of course I am. But if he wants to marry me, well…
查看中文翻译
Memories of the last time I was in here flash through my mind. The belt… I wince at the recollection. Now it hangs innocently, lined up with others, on the rack beside the door. Tentatively I run my fingers over the belts, the floggers, the paddles, and the whips. Sheesh. This is what I need to square with Dr. Flynn. Can someone in this lifestyle just stop? It seems so improbable. Wandering over to the bed, I sit on soft red satin sheets, gazing around at all the apparatuses.
查看中文翻译
Beside me is the bench, above that the assortment of canes. So many! Surely one is enough? Well, the less said about that, the better. And the large table. We never tried that, whatever he does on it. My eyes fall on the chesterfield, and I move over to sit on it. It's just a couch, nothing extraordinary about it -- nothing to fasten anything to, not that I can see. Glancing behind me, I spy the museum chest. My curiosity is piqued. What does he keep in there?
查看中文翻译
"That's a very dangerous combination." He runs his index finger across his lower lip in quiet contemplation, not taking his eyes off me. I swallow and my mouth is dry.
查看中文翻译
Christian is standing in the doorway, staring at me, his face unreadable. How long has he been there? I feel like I've been caught with my hand in the cookie jar.
查看中文翻译
"What are you doing?" he says softly, but there's an undercurrent in his tone.
查看中文翻译
Holy fuck, what's all this? An array of instruments and bizarre implements -- I don't have a clue what they are, or what they're for -- are carefully laid out in the display drawer. I pick one up. It's bullet-shaped with a sort of handle. Hmm… what the hell do you do with that? My mind boggles, though I think I have an idea. There are four different sizes! My scalp prickles and I glance up.
查看中文翻译
"Hi." I smile nervously, and I know my eyes are wide and that I'm deathly pale.
查看中文翻译
Oh shit. Is he mad? I flush. "Er… I was bored and curious," I mutter, embarrassed to be found out. He said he'd be two hours.
查看中文翻译
Slowly he enters the room and closes the door quietly behind him, his eyes liquid gray fire. Oh my. He leans casually over the chest of drawers, but I think his stance is deceptive. My inner goddess doesn't know whether it's fight-or-flight time.
查看中文翻译
"I was in here earlier today wondering what to do with it all. I must have forgotten to lock it." He scowls momentarily, as if leaving the door unlocked is a terrible lapse in judgment. I frown -- it's not like him to be forgetful.
查看中文翻译
"The door was open… I --" I gaze at Christian as I hold my breath and blink, uncertain as ever of his reaction or what I should say. His eyes are dark. I think he's amused, but it's difficult to tell. He places his elbows on the museum chest and rests his chin on his clasped hands.
查看中文翻译
"But now here you are, curious as ever." His voice is soft, puzzled.
查看中文翻译
"So, what exactly are you curious about, Miss Steele? Perhaps I could enlighten you."
查看中文翻译
He cocks his head to one side, and his lips twitch in amusement.
查看中文翻译
"Oh?"
查看中文翻译
"Why would I be mad?"
查看中文翻译
"You're not mad?" I whisper, using my remaining breath.
查看中文翻译
"I feel like I'm trespassing… and you're always mad at me." My voice is quiet, though I'm relieved. Christian's brow creases once more.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, you're trespassing, but I'm not mad. I hope that one day you'll live with me here, and all this'-- he gestures vaguely around the room with one hand --"will be yours, too."
查看中文翻译
Oh, that's true. I smile at the memory of Christian when we woke, and it distracts me from the thought of what will become of the playroom. He was such fun Fifty this morning.
查看中文翻译
My playroom…? I gape at him -- that's a lot to take in.
查看中文翻译
"What's this?" I hold up the silver bullet thing.
查看中文翻译
"Oh…"
查看中文翻译
"You were playful. I like playful Christian."
查看中文翻译
What? "For me?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"That's why I was in here today. Trying to decide what to do." He taps his lips with his index finger. "Am I angry with you all the time? I wasn't this morning."
查看中文翻译
I frown. "You buy new, er… toys… for each submissive?"
查看中文翻译
He nods slowly, his face now serious and wary.
查看中文翻译
Okay… I swallow. Butt plug. It's solid metal -- surely that's uncomfortable? I remember our discussion about sex toys and hard limits after I graduated. I think at the time I said I would try. Now, actually seeing one, I don't know if it's something I want to do. I examine it once more and place it back in the drawer.
查看中文翻译
"Some things. Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Always hungry for information, Miss Steele. That's a butt plug," he says gently.
查看中文翻译
"Butt plugs?"
查看中文翻译
"Do you, now?" He arches an eyebrow, and his lovely mouth curves up in a smile, a shy smile. Wow!
查看中文翻译
"Bought for you."
查看中文翻译
"Next drawer down holds a selection of vibrators."
查看中文翻译
"It's not top of my Christmas card list," I mutter nonchalantly. Tentatively, I open the second drawer. He grins.
查看中文翻译
"That's more interesting."
查看中文翻译
I close it quickly, feeling myself turning red as a stoplight.
查看中文翻译
I shut the drawer quickly.
查看中文翻译
He smirks. "If you like."
查看中文翻译
"Don't you like the butt drawer?" he asks innocently, amused. I gaze at him and shrug, trying to brazen out my shock.
查看中文翻译
"Anal beads," says Christian, watching me carefully.
查看中文翻译
"And this?" I take out a long, black, rubbery object made of gradually diminishing spherical bubbles joined together, the first one large and the last much smaller. Eight bubbles in total.
查看中文翻译
"For you." He nods slowly.
查看中文翻译
"This is the butt drawer?"
查看中文翻译
"This is for me?" I whisper.
查看中文翻译
Oh! I examine them with fascinated horror. All of these, inside me… there! I had no idea.
查看中文翻译
"They have quite an effect if you pull them out mid-orgasm," he adds matter-of-factly.
查看中文翻译
"And the next?" I whisper, ashen once more, but this time with embarrassment.
查看中文翻译
Oh! Hesitantly I pull the drawer open, not taking my eyes off his beautiful but rather smug face. Inside there are an assortment of metal items and some clothespins. Clothespins! I pick up a large metal cliplike device.
查看中文翻译
"What's this?"
查看中文翻译
"Do you now, Miss Steele? I think I can tell."
查看中文翻译
"Genital clamp," Christian says. He stands up and moves casually around so that he's beside me. I put it back immediately and choose something more delicate -- two small clips on a chain.
查看中文翻译
I nod shyly and put the clips back in the drawer. Christian leans forward to pull out two more.
查看中文翻译
"The sensation is very intense, but it's when taking them off that they are at their most painful and pleasurable." I remove the clip. Hmm, that might be nice. I squirm at the thought.
查看中文翻译
"I like the look of these," I murmur and Christian smiles.
查看中文翻译
Oh. He takes it from me.
查看中文翻译
"These are adjustable." He holds them up for me to inspect.
查看中文翻译
"Both? Nipples?"
查看中文翻译
Christian smirks at me. "Well, there are two clamps, baby. Yes, both nipples, but that's not what I meant. These are for both pleasure and pain."
查看中文翻译
"Some of these are for pain, but most are for pleasure," he murmurs.
查看中文翻译
I do as he asks, and he clamps one clip to the tip of my finger. It's not too harsh.
查看中文翻译
"Nipple clamps -- that's for both."
查看中文翻译
"Hold out your little finger."
查看中文翻译
"You can wear them very tight… or not. Depending on your mood."
查看中文翻译
"Adjustable?"
查看中文翻译
Oh! I flush and snatch my hand back. My breathing and heart rate increase.
查看中文翻译
"That's a Wartenberg pinwheel."
查看中文翻译
He reaches over and takes it from me. "Give me your hand. Palm up."
查看中文翻译
I offer him my left hand and he takes it gently, skating his thumb over my knuckles. A shiver runs through me. His skin against mine, it never fails to thrill me. He runs the wheel over my palm.
查看中文翻译
"This?" I frown. No baking in the playroom, surely.
查看中文翻译
"For?"
查看中文翻译
"Ah!" The prongs bite into my skin -- there's more than just pain. In fact, it tickles.
查看中文翻译
"There's a fine line between pleasure and pain, Anastasia," he says softly as he leans down and puts the device back in the drawer.
查看中文翻译
"Imagine that over your breasts," Christian murmurs lasciviously.
查看中文翻译
How does he make that sound so erotic? I swallow, and to divert his attention, pull out a device that looks like a spiky pastry cutter.
查看中文翻译
"Clothespins?" I whisper.
查看中文翻译
"You can do a great deal with a clothespin." His eyes burn.
查看中文翻译
"You sound like you miss it."
查看中文翻译
I swallow.
查看中文翻译
Oh?
查看中文翻译
"Have you worn one of these?" I ask.
查看中文翻译
"I remember," he says. "But you can still breathe. Your teeth clamp over the ball." Taking it from me, he replicates a mouth clamping down on the ball with his fingers.
查看中文翻译
"Ball gag. To keep you quiet," says Christian, amused once more.
查看中文翻译
"Is that all?" Christian looks amused.
查看中文翻译
"To mask your screams?"
查看中文翻译
I lean against the drawer so it closes.
查看中文翻译
"It's about control, Anastasia. How helpless would you be if you were tied up and couldn't speak? How trusting would you have to be, knowing I had that much power over you? That I had to read your body and your reaction, rather than hear your words? It makes you more dependent, puts me in ultimate control."
查看中文翻译
He closes his eyes, and I think it's in exasperation. "No, that's not what they're about."
查看中文翻译
"Soft limit," I mutter.
查看中文翻译
"No…" I pull open the fourth drawer to be confounded by a mass of leather and straps. I tug at one of the straps… it appears to be attached to a ball.
查看中文翻译
He stills and gazes down at me. "Yes."
查看中文翻译
"It's what I know," he murmurs. His eyes are wide and serious, and the atmosphere between us has changed, as if he's at confessional.
查看中文翻译
"You have power over me. You know you do," I whisper.
查看中文翻译
"The last thing I want to do is hurt you. I love you," I murmur, reaching up with both hands to run my fingers through his sideburns and gently stroke his cheeks. He leans his face into my touch, drops the gag back in the drawer, and reaches for me, his hands around my waist. He pulls me against him.
查看中文翻译
"Do I? You make me feel… helpless."
查看中文翻译
"No!" Oh, Fifty…"Why?"
查看中文翻译
"Because you're the only person I know who could really hurt me." He reaches up and tucks my hair behind my ear.
查看中文翻译
"Have we finished show-and-tell?" he asks, his voice soft and seductive. His hand moves up my back to the nape of my neck.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Christian… that works both ways. If you didn't want me --" I shudder, glancing down at my twisting fingers. Therein lies my other dark reservation about us. If he wasn't so… broken, would he want me? I shake my head. I must try not to think like that.
查看中文翻译
He wraps me in his arms, holding me close. "When I think what might have happened," he breathes, burying his face in my hair.
查看中文翻译
"That," says Christian, his eyes darkening, "is a spreader bar with ankle and wrist restraints."
查看中文翻译
Bending down I fish another item out of the open drawer. Several cuffs attached to a bar. I hold it up.
查看中文翻译
He bends and kisses me gently, and I melt against him, grasping his arms.
查看中文翻译
"When will you learn that I'm stronger than I look?" I whisper reassuringly into his neck, inhaling his delicious scent. There is nothing better on the planet than being in Christian's arms.
查看中文翻译
"Why? What did you want to do?"
查看中文翻译
"So?" I ask, enjoying the feel of his hand at my back and his proximity. He pulls his head back and scowls down at me.
查看中文翻译
"What do you mean, 'so?' " he rebukes.
查看中文翻译
"I know you're strong," Christian muses quietly. He kisses my hair, but then to my great disappointment, releases me. Oh?
查看中文翻译
"Ana, you were nearly attacked today." His voice is soft but wary.
查看中文翻译
"Christian, I'm fine."
查看中文翻译
I gaze up into his lovely, grumpy face, and I'm dazzled.
查看中文翻译
"What do you mean?"
查看中文翻译
Christian stops on the stairs and gazes up at me, his expression grave.
查看中文翻译
Why are we leaving? I glance behind me as we exit. "Why not in there?"
查看中文翻译
"I want you in my bed, not in here. Come." He grabs the bar and my hand, then leads me promptly out of the room.
查看中文翻译
"You want me to show you?" he breathes in surprise, closing his eyes briefly.
查看中文翻译
"Not here."
查看中文翻译
"How does it work?" I ask, genuinely intrigued.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Ana," he murmurs. He looks pained all of a sudden.
查看中文翻译
I blink at him. When he opens his eyes, they are blazing.
查看中文翻译
"What?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes, I want a demonstration. I like being tied up," I whisper as my inner goddess pole vaults from the bunker onto her chaise longue.
查看中文翻译
"Ana, you may be ready to go back in there, but I'm not. Last time we were in there, you left me. I keep telling you -- when will you understand?" He frowns, releasing me so that he can gesticulate with his free hand.
查看中文翻译
"My whole attitude has changed as a result. My whole outlook on life has radically shifted. I've told you this. What I haven't told you is --" He stops and runs his hand through his hair, searching for the correct words. "I'm like a recovering alcoholic, okay? That's the only comparison I can draw. The compulsion has gone, but I don't want to put temptation in my way. I don't want to hurt you."
查看中文翻译
He looks so remorseful, and in that moment, a sharp nagging pain lances through me. What have I done to this man? Have I improved his life? He was happy before he met me, wasn't he?
查看中文翻译
"I can't bear to hurt you because I love you," he adds, gazing up at me, his expression one of absolute sincerity like a small boy telling a very simple truth.
查看中文翻译
I launch myself at him so hard that he has to drop what he's carrying to catch me as I push him up against the wall. Grabbing his face between my hands, I pull his lips to mine tasting his surprise as I push my tongue into his mouth. I am standing on the step above him -- we're at the same level, and I feel euphorically empowered. Kissing him passionately, my fingers twisting into his hair, I want to touch him, everywhere, but restrain myself, knowing his fear. Regardless, my desire unfurls, hot and heavy, blossoming deep inside me. He groans and grabs my shoulders, pushing me away.
查看中文翻译
He's completely guileless, and he takes my breath away. I adore him more than anything or anyone. I do love this man unconditionally.
查看中文翻译
"Yes," I murmur and I'm sure my dark gaze matches his.
查看中文翻译
"Do you want me to fuck you on the stairs?" he mutters, his breathing ragged. "Because right now, I will."
查看中文翻译
He glares at me, his eyes hooded and heavy. "No. I want you in my bed." He scoops me up suddenly over his shoulder, making me squeal loudly, and smacks me hard on my behind, so that I squeal again. As he heads down the stairs, he stoops to pick up the fallen spreader bar.
查看中文翻译
Mrs. Jones is coming out of the utility room when we pass through the hall. She smiles at us, and I give her an apologetic upside-down wave. I don't think Christian notices her.
查看中文翻译
"I don't think I'll hurt you, either," he says. He takes my head in his hands and kisses me, long and hard, igniting my already heated blood.
查看中文翻译
In the bedroom he sets me down on my feet and drops the spreader onto the bed.
查看中文翻译
"I want you so much," he whispers against my mouth, panting. "Are you sure about this -- after today?"
查看中文翻译
"I don't think you'll hurt me," I breathe.
查看中文翻译
"Yes. I want you, too. I want to undress you." I can't wait to get my hands on him -- my fingers are itching to touch him.
查看中文翻译
"Okay," he says cautiously.
查看中文翻译
"No," he responds quickly. "Do. It's fine. I'm good," he mutters.
查看中文翻译
I reach for the second button on his shirt and hear him catch his breath.
查看中文翻译
"I won't touch you if you don't want me to," I whisper.
查看中文翻译
His eyes widen and for a second he hesitates, perhaps to consider my request.
查看中文翻译
I gently undo the button and my fingers glide down his shirt to the next. His eyes are large and luminous, his lips parted as his breathing shallows. He is so beautiful, even in his fear… because of his fear. I undo the third button and notice his soft hair poking through the large V of the shirt.
查看中文翻译
He gasps as I undo the next button and very slowly lean forward, making my intention clear. He's holding his breath, but stands stock-still as I plant a gentle kiss among the soft, exposed curls. I undo the final button and lift my face to him. He's gazing at me, and there's a look of satisfaction, calm, and… wonder on his face.
查看中文翻译
He inhales sharply. "Kiss me?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes," I murmur.
查看中文翻译
"I want to kiss you there," I murmur.
查看中文翻译
He nods as I slowly push his shirt off his shoulders and let it fall to the floor.
查看中文翻译
He runs his lips up to my jaw, nipping softly. I groan. Oh, I want this man. My fingers fumble at his waistband, undoing the button and pulling down the zipper.
查看中文翻译
"It's getting easier, isn't it?" I whisper.
查看中文翻译
"What have you done to me, Ana?" he murmurs. "Whatever it is, don't stop." And he gathers me in his arms, thrusting both his hands into my hair and pulling my head right back so that he can have easy access to my throat.
查看中文翻译
I tug his pants and boxers sharply, and he springs free. Before he can stop me, I take him into my mouth, sucking hard, enjoying his shocked astonishment as his mouth drops open. He gazes down at me, watching my every move, eyes so dark and filled with carnal bliss. Oh my. I sheath my teeth and suck harder. He closes his eyes and surrenders to this blissful carnal pleasure. I know what I do to him, and it's hedonistic, liberating, and sexy as hell. The feeling is heady; I'm not just powerful -- I'm omniscient.
查看中文翻译
"Whoa!" he gasps.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, baby," he breathes as he kisses me behind my ear. I feel his erection, firm and hard, straining against me. I want him -- in my mouth. I step back abruptly and drop to my knees.
查看中文翻译
"Fuck," he hisses and gently cradles my head, flexing his hips so he moves deeper inside my mouth. Oh yes, I want this and I swirl my tongue around him, pulling hard… over and over.
查看中文翻译
Oh no you don't, Grey. I want you. I grab his hips firmly, doubling my efforts, and I can tell he's close.
查看中文翻译
"Please," he pants. "I'm gonna come, Ana," he groans.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, so this is the game we're playing, Miss Steele?" He bends, hooks his hands under my arms, and pulls me to my feet. Suddenly his mouth is on mine. He groans.
查看中文翻译
"I can taste myself. You taste better," he murmurs against my lips. He tugs my T-shirt off and throws it carelessly onto the floor, then picks me up and tosses me onto the bed. Grabbing the end of my sweats, he tugs abruptly so that they come off in one swift move. I'm naked underneath, sprawled across his bed. Waiting. Wanting. His eyes drink me in, and slowly he removes his remaining clothes, not taking his eyes off me.
查看中文翻译
Good. My inner goddess's head is thrown back in ecstasy, and he comes, loudly and wetly, into my mouth.
查看中文翻译
He opens his bright gray eyes, gazing down at me, and I smile up at him, licking my lips. He grins back at me, a wicked, salacious grin.
查看中文翻译
"Ana." He tries to step back.
查看中文翻译
"You are one beautiful woman, Anastasia," he murmurs appreciatively.
查看中文翻译
Hmm… I tilt my head coquettishly to one side and beam at him.
查看中文翻译
He gives me a wicked grin and reaches for the spreader bar. Grabbing my left ankle, he quickly cuffs it, strapping the buckle tightly, but not too tight. He tests how much room I have by sliding his little finger between the cuff and my ankle. He doesn't take his eyes off mine; he doesn't need to see what he's doing. Hmm… he's done this before.
查看中文翻译
"We'll have to see how you taste. If I recall, you're a rare, exquisite delicacy, Miss Steele."
查看中文翻译
"You are one beautiful man, Christian, and you taste mighty fine."
查看中文翻译
Oh.
查看中文翻译
"The good thing about this spreader is, it expands," he murmurs. He clicks something on the bar, then pushes, so my legs spread further. Whoa, three feet apart. My mouth drops open, and I take a deep breath. Fuck, this is hot. I'm on fire, restless and needy.
查看中文翻译
Grasping my other ankle, he quickly and efficiently cuffs that one as well, so that my feet are about two feet apart.
查看中文翻译
"Hmm. You are so exposed, Miss Steele." He runs the fingers of both his hands up the inside of each of my legs, slowly, surely, making small circular patterns. Never breaking eye contact with me.
查看中文翻译
"See what I can do to you?" he says darkly and twists it again abruptly, so I am once more on my back, gaping up at him, breathless.
查看中文翻译
"These other cuffs are for your wrists. I'll think about that. Depends if you behave or not."
查看中文翻译
Wow. He's so mind-bogglingly sexy, it takes my breath away. He crawls up the bed so that he's kneeling between my legs, gloriously naked, and I'm helpless.
查看中文翻译
"Your BlackBerry, for one."
查看中文翻译
"When do I not behave?"
查看中文翻译
I gasp. "What are you going to do?"
查看中文翻译
Christian licks his lower lip.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, I never disclose my plans." He smirks, his eyes alight with pure mischief.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, we're going to have some fun with this, Ana." Reaching down he grasps the bar and twists it so I flip onto my front. It takes me by surprise.
查看中文翻译
"I can think of a few infractions," he says softly, running his fingers up the soles of my feet. It tickles, but the bar holds me in place, though I try to writhe away from his fingers.
查看中文翻译
"Remember, if you don't like something, just tell me to stop," he murmurs. Bending over, he kisses my belly, soft, sucking kisses, while his hands continue their slow tortuous journey north up my inner thighs, touching and teasing.
查看中文翻译
"It's all about anticipation, Ana. What will I do to you?" His softly spoken words penetrate right to the deepest, darkest, part of me. I wriggle on the bed and moan. His fingers continue their slow assault up my legs, past the backs of my knees. Instinctively, I want to close my legs but I can't.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Miss Steele. I've discovered you can be merciless in your amorous assaults upon me. I think I should return the favor."
查看中文翻译
My fingers clutch the comforter as I surrender myself to him, his mouth gently heading south, his fingers north, to the vulnerable and exposed apex of my thighs. I groan as he eases his fingers inside me, and buck my pelvis up to meet them. Christian moans in response.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, please, Christian," I plead.
查看中文翻译
"You never cease to amaze me, Ana. You're so wet," he murmurs against the line where my pubic hair joins my belly. My body bows as his mouth finds me.
查看中文翻译
"We're going to try this, baby. If you don't like it, or it's too uncomfortable, tell me and we'll stop."
查看中文翻译
"Say my name," he commands.
查看中文翻译
He begins a slow and sensual assault, his tongue swirling around and around while his fingers move inside me. Because I can't close my legs, or move, it's intense, really intense. My back arches as I try to absorb the sensations.
查看中文翻译
"Christian," I call, hardly recognizing my own voice -- it's so high-pitched and needy.
查看中文翻译
Vaguely, I'm aware that Christian has flipped me onto my stomach.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Christian," I cry.
查看中文翻译
"Christian, Christian, Christian Grey," I call out loudly.
查看中文翻译
What? I am too lost in the afterglow to form any sentient or coherent thoughts. I am sitting on Christian's lap. How did that happen?
查看中文翻译
"Again," he breathes.
查看中文翻译
"Arrgh! Please!" I beg.
查看中文翻译
"I know, baby," he whispers, and to ease up on me, he blows softly on the most sensitive part of my body.
查看中文翻译
"You are mine." His voice is soft and deadly and with one last flick of his tongue, I fall -- spectacularly -- embracing my orgasm, and because my legs are so far apart, it goes on and on and I am lost.
查看中文翻译
Oh my.
查看中文翻译
"Ana, you look so beautiful." His voice is full of wonder, and I hear the rip of foil. He runs his fingers from the base of my spine down toward my sex and pauses a beat over my ass.
查看中文翻译
In a daze I do as I'm told. He pulls both my hands backward and cuffs them to the bar, next to my ankles. Oh… My knees are drawn up, my ass in the air, utterly vulnerable, completely his.
查看中文翻译
He eases slowly out of me then eases gently back, filling me, stretching me, twice, thrice, and I am helpless.
查看中文翻译
"Lean down, baby," he murmurs at my ear. 'Head and chest on the bed."
查看中文翻译
"When you're ready, I want this, too." His finger is hovering over me. I gasp loudly as I feel myself tense under his gentle probing. "Not today, sweet Ana, but one day… I want you every way. I want to possess every inch of you. You're mine."
查看中文翻译
Moments later, he's slamming into me. "Aagh! Gently," I cry, and he stills.
查看中文翻译
"Gently… let me get used to this."
查看中文翻译
I think about the butt plug, and everything tightens deep inside me. His words make me groan, and his fingers move down and around to more familiar territory.
查看中文翻译
"You okay?"
查看中文翻译
He groans, and picks up his rhythm. Moving, moving… relentless… onward, inward, filling me… and it's exquisite. There's joy in my helplessness, joy in my surrender to him, and to know that he can lose himself in me the way he wants to. I can do this. He takes me to these dark places, places I didn't know existed, and together we fill them with blinding light. Oh yes… blazing, blinding light.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, good, I've got it now," I murmur, relishing the feeling.
查看中文翻译
"Ana, baby," he cries and collapses beside me.
查看中文翻译
When I surface again, I am curled beside him and he's gazing at me. I have no idea what the time is.
查看中文翻译
"I could watch you sleep forever, Ana," he murmurs and he kisses my forehead.
查看中文翻译
His fingers deftly undo the straps, and he rubs my ankles then my wrists. When he's finished and I'm finally free, he pulls me into his arms and I drift, exhausted.
查看中文翻译
And I let go, glorying in what he does to me, finding my sweet, sweet release, as I come again, loudly, screaming his name. And he stills, pouring his heart and soul into me.
查看中文翻译
I smile and shift languorously beside him.
查看中文翻译
"I never want to let you go," he says softly and wraps his arms around me.
查看中文翻译
"I need you," he whispers, but his voice is a distant, ethereal part of my dreams. He needs me… needs me… and as I finally slip into the darkness, my last thoughts are of a small boy with gray eyes and dirty, messy, copper-colored hair smiling shyly at me.
查看中文翻译
Hmm. "I never want to go. Never let me go," I mutter sleepily, my eyelids refusing to open.
查看中文翻译
