When I wake before the alarm the following morning, Christian is wrapped around me like ivy, his head on my chest, his arm around my waist, and his leg between mine. And he's on my side of the bed. It's always the same, if we argue the night before, this is how he ends up, coiled around me, making me hot and bothered.
查看中文翻译
Oh, Fifty. He is so needy on some level. Who would have thought? The familiar vision of Christian as a dirty, wretched little boy haunts me. Gently, I stroke his shorter hair and my melancholy recedes. He stirs, and his sleepy eyes meet mine. He blinks a couple of times as he wakes.
查看中文翻译
"Hi." I love waking to that smile.
查看中文翻译
"Hi," he murmurs and smiles.
查看中文翻译
He nuzzles my breasts and hums appreciatively deep in his throat. His hand travels down from my waist, skimming over the cool satin of my nightgown.
查看中文翻译
"What a tempting morsel you are," he mutters. "But, tempting though you are," he glances at the alarm, "I have to get up." He stretches out, untangles himself from me, and rises.
查看中文翻译
I lie back, put my hands behind my head, and enjoy the show -- Christian stripping for his shower. He is perfect. I wouldn't change a hair on his head.
查看中文翻译
He grins and throws his pajama pants at me so they almost land on my face, but I catch them in time, giggling like a schoolgirl. With a wicked grin, he pulls the duvet off, puts one knee on the bed, grabs my ankles, and drags me toward him so that my nightdress rides up. I squeal, and he crawls up my body, trailing little kisses on my knee, my thigh… my… oh… Christian!
查看中文翻译
"Admiring the view, Mrs. Grey?" Christian arches a sardonic brow at me.
查看中文翻译
"Good morning, Mrs. Grey," Mrs. Jones greets me. I flush, embarrassed, remembering her tryst with Taylor the night before.
查看中文翻译
"Good morning," I respond as she hands me a cup of tea. I sit on the barstool beside my husband, who just looks radiant: freshly showered, his hair damp, wearing a crisp white shirt and that silver-gray tie. My favorite tie. I have fond memories of that tie.
查看中文翻译
"How are you, Mrs. Grey?" he asks, his eyes warm.
查看中文翻译
"It's a mighty fine view, Mr. Grey."
查看中文翻译
"I think you know, Mr. Grey." I gaze up at him through my lashes.
查看中文翻译
He smirks. "Eat," he orders. "You didn't eat yesterday."
查看中文翻译
"Arse or not -- eat." His tone is serious. No arguing with him.
查看中文翻译
"Oh."
查看中文翻译
He gives me his oh-really-but-I'm-the-boss stare.
查看中文翻译
"I may have to go to New York later in the week." Christian's announcement interrupts my reverie.
查看中文翻译
"That's because you were being an arse."
查看中文翻译
"Christian, I won't get the time off."
查看中文翻译
"Okay! Picking up spoon, eating granola," I mutter like a petulant teenager. I reach for the Greek yogurt and spoon some onto my cereal, followed by a handful of blueberries. I glance at Mrs. Jones and she catches my eye. I smile, and she responds with a warm smile of her own. She has provided me with my breakfast of choice, which was introduced to me on our honeymoon.
查看中文翻译
"It'll mean an overnight. I want you to come with me."
查看中文翻译
I sigh. "I know you own the company, but I've been away for three weeks. Please. How can you expect me to run the business if I'm never there? I'll be fine here. I'm assuming you'll take Taylor with you, but Sawyer and Ryan will be here --" I stop, because Christian is grinning at me. "What?" I snap.
查看中文翻译
Mrs. Jones drops something that clatters into the sink, making me jump. Christian seems oblivious to the noise. Ignoring her, he stares at me impassively.
查看中文翻译
Oh, bossy Fifty!
查看中文翻译
I frown. Is he laughing at me? Then a nasty thought pops into my mind. "How are you getting to New York?"
查看中文翻译
"Nothing. Just you," he says.
查看中文翻译
"I wouldn't fly to New York in Charlie Tango. She doesn't have that kind of range. Besides, she won't be back from the engineers for another two weeks."
查看中文翻译
"I just wanted to check if you were taking Charlie Tango." My voice is quiet, and a shiver runs down my spine. I remember the last time he flew his helicopter. A wave of nausea hits me as I recall the anxious hours I spent waiting for news. That was possibly the lowest point in my life. I notice Mrs. Jones has stilled, too. I try to dismiss the idea.
查看中文翻译
Thank heavens. My smile is partly from relief, but also the knowledge that the demise of Charlie Tango has occupied a great deal of Christian's thoughts and time over the last few weeks.
查看中文翻译
"The company jet, why?"
查看中文翻译
I shrug.
查看中文翻译
"What?" he asks as he finishes his omelet.
查看中文翻译
"Well, I'm glad she's nearly fixed, but --" I stop. Can I tell him how nervous I'll be when he flies next time?
查看中文翻译
"That reminds me. There's a gun in your desk."
查看中文翻译
He scowls at me. "I don't want you messing with guns. I hope you put the safety back on."
查看中文翻译
"How do you know?" His frown deepens.
查看中文翻译
"Five people have been fired because of that, Ana. It won't happen again."
查看中文翻译
"Five?"
查看中文翻译
"It's fully loaded."
查看中文翻译
"It's Leila's," he says finally.
查看中文翻译
"I just… you know. Last time you flew in her… I thought, we thought, you'd --" I can't finish the sentence, and Christian's expression softens.
查看中文翻译
Holy crap!
查看中文翻译
His eyes widen. "Um… no."
查看中文翻译
"I couldn't bear to lose you," I murmur.
查看中文翻译
He nods, his face serious.
查看中文翻译
He frowns at my non sequitur and probably at my accusatory tone, though I don't mean it that way.
查看中文翻译
"Hey." He caresses my face with the backs of his knuckles. "That was sabotage." A dark expression crosses his face, and for a moment I wonder if he knows who was responsible.
查看中文翻译
"I checked it yesterday."
查看中文翻译
"Ana?" he says, more sternly.
查看中文翻译
I blink at him, momentarily stupefied. "Christian, there's no safety on that revolver. Don't you know anything about guns?"
查看中文翻译
"Good morning, Mr. Grey, Mrs. Grey." He nods at us both, but he's careful not to look me in the eye. I'm grateful, recalling my state of undress when we bumped into each other last night.
查看中文翻译
"Good morning, Taylor," Christian says.
查看中文翻译
"I am just going to brush my teeth," I mutter. Christian always brushes his teeth before breakfast. I don't understand why.
查看中文翻译
"We have to go," Christian says. He stands, distracted, and slips on his gray jacket. I follow him into the hallway.
查看中文翻译
Taylor coughs discreetly from the entrance. Christian nods at him.
查看中文翻译
He has Leila's gun. I am stunned by this news and briefly wonder what's happened to her. Is she still in -- where is it? East somewhere. New Hampshire? I can't remember.
查看中文翻译
"Should I now?" he says dryly.
查看中文翻译
"You should ask Taylor to teach you how to shoot," I say as we travel down in the elevator. Christian gazes down at me, amused.
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Anastasia, I despise guns. My mom has patched up too many victims of gun crime, and my dad is vehemently antigun. I grew up with their ethos. I support at least two gun control initiatives here in Washington."
查看中文翻译
Christian holds the foyer door open for me and I head out to the car. He has not let me drive alone to SIP since he found out that Charlie Tango was sabotaged. Sawyer smiles pleasantly, holding the door open for me as Christian and I climb into the car.
查看中文翻译
"Please what?"
查看中文翻译
"You don't approve?" I ask, as Christian ushers me out of the elevator on the ground floor.
查看中文翻译
"Please." I reach across and grasp Christian's hand.
查看中文翻译
"Oh. Does Taylor carry a gun?"
查看中文翻译
"Sometimes."
查看中文翻译
"No," he says, tight-lipped. "Let's just say that Taylor and I hold very different views with regard to gun control." I'm with Taylor on this.
查看中文翻译
Christian's mouth thins.
查看中文翻译
"Learn how to shoot."
查看中文翻译
He rolls his eyes at me. "No. End of discussion, Anastasia."
查看中文翻译
And again I am a child to be scolded. I open my mouth to say something cutting, but decide I don't want to start my workday in a bad mood. I fold my arms instead and glimpse Taylor regarding me in the rearview mirror. He looks away, concentrating on the road in front, but shakes his head a little, in obvious frustration.
查看中文翻译
"No. Flynn has." He searches my face for a clue to my thoughts.
查看中文翻译
"Where is Leila?" I ask as Christian gazes out of his window.
查看中文翻译
"I told you. She's in Connecticut with her folks." He glances at me.
查看中文翻译
I shrug, not wanting to admit to my irrational jealousy.
查看中文翻译
"Nothing."
查看中文翻译
Christian whips his head around at the tone of my voice.
查看中文翻译
"I see," I murmur, relieved.
查看中文翻译
Hmm… Christian drives him crazy, too, sometimes. The thought makes me smile, and my mood is saved.
查看中文翻译
Christian sighs. "Ana. What is it?"
查看中文翻译
"You've spoken to her?" I whisper, all the blood draining from my face.
查看中文翻译
"What?"
查看中文翻译
"Did you check? After all, she does have long hair. It could have been her driving the Dodge."
查看中文翻译
"Yes, I checked. She's enrolled in an art school in Hamden. She started this week."
查看中文翻译
Christian continues, "I'm keeping tabs on her, checking that she stays on her side of the continent. She's better, Ana. Flynn has referred her to a shrink in New Haven, and all the reports are very positive. She's always been interested in art, so…" He stops, his face still searching mine. And in that moment I suspect that he is paying for her art classes. Do I want to know? Should I ask him? I mean, it's not as if he can't afford it, but why does he feel the obligation? I sigh. Christian's baggage hardly compares to Bradley Kent from biology class and his half-assed attempts to kiss me. Christian reaches for my hand.

This will be the first night we've slept apart since our wedding. I intend to have a few cocktails with Kate -- that should help me sleep. Impulsively, I e-mail him back, although I know that he's still flying.

Anastasia Grey
查看中文翻译
Let me know when you land -- I'll worry until you do.
查看中文翻译
You were adorable this morning.
查看中文翻译
And I shall behave. I mean how much trouble can I get into with Kate?
查看中文翻译
I hit "send" and sip my latte, courtesy of Hannah. Who knew I'd grow to love coffee? Despite the fact that I'm going out this evening with Kate, I feel like a chunk of me is missing. At the moment, it's thirty-five thousand feet somewhere above the Midwest en route to New York. I didn't know I would feel this unsettled and anxious just because Christian's away. Surely over time I won't feel this loss and uncertainty, will I? I let out a heavy sigh and continue with my work.
查看中文翻译
Around lunchtime, I start manically checking my e-mail and my BlackBerry for a text. Where is he? Has he landed safely? Hannah asks if I want lunch, but I'm too apprehensive and wave her away. I know it's irrational, but I need to be sure he's arrived safely.
查看中文翻译
"Long. What are you doing with Kate?"
查看中文翻译
I mentally kick myself. "Christian, we'll be fine. I have Ryan, Sawyer, and Prescott here. It's only a quick drink."
查看中文翻译
"Sawyer and the new woman -- Prescott -- are coming to watch over us," I offer, trying to placate him.
查看中文翻译
My office phone rings, startling me. "Ana St -- Grey."
查看中文翻译
Christian says nothing.
查看中文翻译
"Hi." I'm grinning from ear to ear. "How was your flight?"
查看中文翻译
"I thought Kate was coming to the apartment."
查看中文翻译
Oh no. "We're just going out for a quiet drink."
查看中文翻译
Christian sighs heavily. "Why didn't you tell me?" he says quietly. Too quietly.
查看中文翻译
"She is after a quick drink." Please let me go out!
查看中文翻译
"Hi." Christian's voice is warm with a trace of amusement. Relief floods through me.
查看中文翻译
Christian remains resolutely silent, and I know he's not happy. "I've seen her only a few times since you and I met. Please. She's my best friend."
查看中文翻译
"Good," he breathes, his relief evident. I feel guilty for worrying him.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, so you just landed."
查看中文翻译
"Are you flirting with me?"
查看中文翻译
"Only while this lunatic is out there. Please."
查看中文翻译
I scowl at the receiver. "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you. I'll tell Kate."
查看中文翻译
"On the tarmac at JFK."
查看中文翻译
"Where are you?"
查看中文翻译
Christian snorts softly down the phone. "I always know when you're rolling your eyes at me."
查看中文翻译
"Okay," I acquiesce. "We'll stay in."
查看中文翻译
"I am sure you'll think of something imaginative. You usually do."
查看中文翻译
"Ana, I don't want to keep you from your friends. But I thought she was coming back to the apartment."
查看中文翻译
I smile. My subconscious glares at me. See? He does what he says he's going to do.
查看中文翻译
"Well, Mr. Grey, I'm glad one of us is punctilious."
查看中文翻译
He laughs. "Mrs. Grey, your gift for hyperbole knows no bounds. What am I going to do with you?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes. You asked me to call the moment I landed."
查看中文翻译
"I've said okay," I mutter in exasperation, rolling my eyes.
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
I sense his grin. "I'd better go. Ana, do as you're told, please. The security team knows what they're doing."
查看中文翻译
"Yes, Sir." I hang up and grin stupidly at the phone.

Honestly, he's the bossy one. But one phone call and all my anxiety has disappeared. He's arrived safely and he's fussing about me as usual. I hug myself momentarily. God, I love that man. Hannah knocks on my door, distracting me, and brings me back to the now.

查看中文翻译
"Your bossy little thing."

He inhales sharply. "And I you, Ana."
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"Au revoir, Mrs. Grey."
查看中文翻译
I mean it. Do as you're told.
查看中文翻译
She grins. "One." She links her arm in mine, and we stroll out to the car, which is parked at the curb with Sawyer at the wheel. We're followed by Miss Belinda Prescott, who's new to the security team -- a tall African American with a no-nonsense attitude. I've yet to warm to her, maybe because she's too cool and professional. The jury's definitely out, but like the rest of the team, she's been hand-picked by Taylor. She's dressed like Sawyer, in a dark somber pantsuit.
查看中文翻译
"Don't you look the mogul's wife? Who would have thought, little Ana Steele? You look so… sophisticated!" She grins. I roll my eyes at her. I'm wearing a pale cream shift dress with a navy belt and navy pumps.
查看中文翻译
"So, where are we going?"
查看中文翻译
"It's good to see you, Kate." I hug her back.
查看中文翻译
"Please?" she whines and pouts prettily. She must be picking this up from Mia. She never pouts normally. I'd really like a cocktail at the Zig Zag. We had such fun the last time we went there, and it's close to Kate's apartment.
查看中文翻译
I open my mouth to protest.
查看中文翻译
Kate looks gorgeous. In her tight white jeans and red camisole, she's ready to rock the town. She's chatting animatedly with Claire in Reception when I make my entrance.
查看中文翻译
"Ana!" she cries, scooping me up in a Kate hug. She holds me at arm's length.
查看中文翻译
"Aw, really? Can't we sneak a quick cocktail at the Zig Zag Café? I've booked us a table."
查看中文翻译
I hold up my index finger. "One."
查看中文翻译
"Christian wants us to go back to the apartment."
查看中文翻译
I flush. "No." Damn it, Christian! "Do you know why?"
查看中文翻译
"The Zig Zag Café. We'll have only one drink."
查看中文翻译
Sawyer turns to look at me, and I know he wants to say something. He's obviously been given his orders. He hesitates.
查看中文翻译
"Security for all of the Greys has been tripled. Gazillioned, even."
查看中文翻译
"Really?"
查看中文翻译
"Mr. Grey isn't here," I snap. "The Zig Zag, please."
查看中文翻译
Kate gapes at me as if she can't believe her eyes and ears. I purse my lips and shrug. Okay, so I'm a little more assertive than I used to be. Kate nods as Sawyer pulls out into the early evening traffic.
查看中文翻译
"Mr. Grey requested you go back to the apartment," Prescott pipes up.
查看中文翻译
"Ma'am," Sawyer replies with a sideways glance at Prescott, who wisely holds her tongue.
查看中文翻译
I gawk at her, baffled.
查看中文翻译
"You know the additional security is driving Grace and Mia crazy," Kate says casually.
查看中文翻译
I give Kate a sideways glance, and she's glaring at Sawyer. Poor man.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, ma'am."
查看中文翻译
"You didn't know?" She seems incredulous.
查看中文翻译
"Know what?"
查看中文翻译
"Can you take us to the Zig Zag, please, Sawyer?"
查看中文翻译
"He hasn't told you?"
查看中文翻译
"Since Monday," Kate says.
查看中文翻译
"How's Elliot?" I ask to change the subject.
查看中文翻译
"How do you know all this?"
查看中文翻译
Kate grins stupidly, telling me all I need to know.
查看中文翻译
"Jack Hyde."
查看中文翻译
I sigh. As ever, Kate has hit the nail squarely on the head in her usual sledgehammer style. "Do you know why?" If Christian's not going to tell me, then maybe Kate will.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Ana, how annoying."
查看中文翻译
"Christian hasn't told you any of this, has he?"
查看中文翻译
I glance up to see Sawyer eyeing me in the rearview mirror. The red light turns to green and he surges forward, focusing on the road ahead. I hold my finger up to my lips and Kate nods. I bet Sawyer knows, too, and I don't.
查看中文翻译
"Elliot said it's something to do with information stored on Jack Hyde's computer when he was at SIP."
查看中文翻译
Of course.
查看中文翻译
"What about Jack? I thought he was just after Christian." I gasp. Jeez. Why hasn't he told me?
查看中文翻译
"Elliot."
查看中文翻译
Last Monday? Hmm… we identified Jack on Sunday. But why all the Greys?
查看中文翻译
Holy crap. "You're kidding." A surge of anger pulses through me. How does Kate know about this when I don't?
查看中文翻译
I flush once more. "No."
查看中文翻译
"Yes. She was all over Christian."
查看中文翻译
"I feel the same way."
查看中文翻译
"She had a fling with Elliot." Kate pouts.
查看中文翻译
"No!"
查看中文翻译
"So how does Elliot know Gia?" I ask, taking a sip of my second strawberry mojito. The bar is intimate and cozy, and I don't want to leave. Kate and I have not stopped talking. I had forgotten how much I like hanging with her. It's liberating to be out, relaxing, enjoying Kate's company. I contemplate texting Christian, then dismiss the idea. He'll just be mad and make me go home like an errant child.
查看中文翻译
Sawyer pulls up at the end of the passageway that leads down to the Zig Zag Café, and Prescott opens my door. I scoot out and Kate slides out after me. We link arms and meander down the passage, followed by Prescott, who's wearing a thunderous expression on her face. Oh, for heaven's sake, it's just a drink. Sawyer drives off to park the car.
查看中文翻译
Kate's reaction makes me laugh.
查看中文翻译
"What's so funny, Steele?" she snaps, but not seriously.
查看中文翻译
"You do?"
查看中文翻译
"Don't talk to me about that bitch!" Kate splutters.
查看中文翻译
She nods, her lips pressed together in the patented Katherine Kavanagh scowl.
查看中文翻译
"Christian, too. I think it was Grace and Carrick's influence," I mutter. I'm feeling a little tipsy.
查看中文翻译
"It was brief. Last year, I think. She's a social climber. No wonder she has her sights set on Christian."
查看中文翻译
"Carrick's a good man." Kate nods.
查看中文翻译
Kate gapes at me once more, stunned. I nod proudly, and she lifts her glass to salute me, impressed and beaming.
查看中文翻译
"Mrs. Anastasia Grey! Way to go!" We clink.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Ana." She reaches across the table and grasps my arm. "He was only looking out for his boy. As we both know, you have gold digger tattooed on your forehead." She smiles at me, and I poke my tongue out at her, then giggle.
查看中文翻译
"No. He's very antigun." Kate stirs her third drink.
查看中文翻译
"Does Elliot own a gun?"
查看中文翻译
"Christian is taken. I told her to leave him alone or I would fire her."
查看中文翻译
"He wanted a prenup," I mutter sadly.
查看中文翻译
"My son?" It hadn't even crossed my mind that my kids will be rich. Holy crap. They'll want for nothing. I mean… nothing. This needs further thought -- but not right now. I glance at Prescott and Sawyer seated nearby, watching us and the evening crowd from a side table while they each nurse a glass of sparkling mineral water.
查看中文翻译
"Mature, Mrs. Grey," she says, grinning. She sounds like Christian. "You'll do the same for your son one day."
查看中文翻译
"Because I don't see enough of you anymore. I didn't know you'd up and marry the first guy who turned your head." She pouts again. "Honestly, you married so quickly that I thought you were pregnant."
查看中文翻译
"No. We should drink," Kate says.
查看中文翻译
"Do you think we should eat?" I ask.
查看中文翻译
I giggle. "Everyone thought I was pregnant. Let's not rehash that conversation again. Please! And I have to use the restroom."
查看中文翻译
"Why are you in such a drinking mood?"
查看中文翻译
Prescott accompanies me. She says nothing. She doesn't have to. Disapproval radiates off her like a lethal isotope.
查看中文翻译
"I haven't been out on my own since I got married," I mutter wordlessly at the closed stall door. I make a face, knowing that she's standing on the other side of the door, waiting while I pee. What precisely is Hyde going to do in a bar anyway? Christian is just overreacting as usual.
查看中文翻译
"Kate, It's late. WE should go."
查看中文翻译
It's ten fifteen, and I have downed my fourth strawberry mojito. I am definitely feeling the effects of the alcohol, warm and fuzzy. Christian will be fine. Eventually.
查看中文翻译
My face warms. Coming from Miss Katherine Kavanagh, this is indeed a compliment.
查看中文翻译
"I have really enjoyed this evening." I grasp Kate's hand. "Thank you for dragging me out!" We hug. As she releases me, I nod at Sawyer and he hands Prescott the keys to the car.
查看中文翻译
"Sure, Ana. It's been so good to see you. You just seem so much more, I don't know… confident. Marriage obviously agrees with you."
查看中文翻译
"It does," I whisper, and because I've probably had too much to drink, tears prick the backs of my eyes. Could I be any happier? In spite of all his baggage, his nature, his Fiftyness, I have met and married the man of my dreams. I quickly change the subject to stem my sentimental thoughts, because I know I will cry otherwise.
查看中文翻译
"I'm sure Miss Goody-Two-Shoes Prescott has told Christian I'm not at home. He'll be mad," I mutter to Kate. And maybe he'll think of some delicious way to punish me… hopefully.
查看中文翻译
"Why are you grinning like a loon, Ana? You like making Christian mad?"
查看中文翻译
"No. Not really. But it's easily done. He's very controlling sometimes." Most of the time.

From: Christian Grey
查看中文翻译
"Don't be a stranger," she whispers and kisses my cheek. Then she's out of the car. I wave, feeling strangely homesick. I have missed girl talk. It's fun and relaxing, and it reminds me that I'm still young. I must make more of an effort to see Kate, but the truth is, I love being in my bubble with Christian. Last night we attended a charity dinner together. There were so many men in suits and well-groomed elegant women talking about real estate prices and the failing economy and the plunging stock markets. I mean, it was dull, really dull. So it's refreshing to let my hair down with someone my own age.

*Where the hell are you?*

And one e-mail.

We pull up outside Kate's apartment. She hugs me hard.
查看中文翻译
"I've noticed," Kate says wryly.
查看中文翻译
Subject: Angry. You've Not Seen Angry

To: Anastasia Grey

====================
查看中文翻译
My stomach rumbles. I still haven't eaten. Shit -- Christian! I scramble through my purse and fish out my BlackBerry. Holy crap -- five missed calls! One text…
查看中文翻译
*I'm still in one piece. I had a nice time. Missing you -- Please don't be mad.*
查看中文翻译
"Why didn't you interrupt my conversation with Kate so I could speak with him?"
查看中文翻译
Christian Grey
查看中文翻译
"What time did Christian call you?"
查看中文翻译
Sawyer flushes. "About nine thirty, ma'am."
查看中文翻译
Sawyer tells me that you are drinking cocktails in a bar when you said you wouldn't.
查看中文翻译
Prescott pulls up outside Escala and Sawyer gets out to hold the door open for me. As we stand waiting for the elevator, I take the opportunity to quiz him.
查看中文翻译
I'll see you tomorrow.
查看中文翻译
Anastasia
查看中文翻译
I gaze at my BlackBerry, willing him to respond, but it's ominously silent. I sigh.
查看中文翻译
My heart sinks. Oh shit! I really am in trouble. My subconscious glares at me, then shrugs, wearing her you-made-your-bed-you-lie-in-it face. What did I expect? I contemplate calling him, but it's late and he's probably asleep… or pacing. I decide a quick text may be enough.
查看中文翻译
Do you have any idea how mad I am at the moment?

CEO, Grey Enterprises Holdings, Inc.
查看中文翻译
I purse my lips. The elevator arrives, and we ride up in silence. I'm suddenly grateful that Christian has a whole night to recover from his conniption, and that he's on the other side of the country. It gives me some time. On the other hand… I miss him.
查看中文翻译
"Mr. Grey told me not to."
查看中文翻译
"We've had a visitor." He takes my elbow, and I'm grateful for the support -- my legs have turned to jelly. I walk with him through the open double doors.
查看中文翻译
Ryan is standing at the entrance of the great room. A cut above his eye is bleeding, and there's another on his mouth. He looks roughed up, his clothes disheveled. But what's more shocking is Jack Hyde slumped at his feet.
查看中文翻译
I flatten myself against the elevator wall. What the hell is going on? Adrenaline spikes through my body, and my heart leaps into my throat. I hear soft voices, and a moment later Sawyer reappears in the foyer, standing in the puddle of water. He holsters his gun.
查看中文翻译
"You can come in, Mrs. Grey," he says gently.
查看中文翻译
"You have the perp?" Sawyer calls back. "Jesus H. Christ!"
查看中文翻译
Code blue?
查看中文翻译
What is wrong with this picture?
查看中文翻译
"Luke!" I hear Ryan call from inside the great room. "Code blue!"
查看中文翻译
"Stay there," he hisses, drawing a gun. He steps into the foyer and disappears from my field of vision.
查看中文翻译
I cower in the back of the elevator.
查看中文翻译
"What's happened, Luke?" My voice is barely a whisper.
查看中文翻译
The vase of flowers lies smashed into fragments all over the floor of the foyer, water and flowers and chunks of china are strewn everywhere, and the table is overturned. My scalp prickles and Sawyer grabs my arm and pulls me back into the elevator.
查看中文翻译
The doors to the elevator open, and for a split second I stare at the foyer table.
