Dear Mr. Grey,

Stop e-mailing me. I am trying to get ready for dinner. You are very distracting, even when you are on the other side of the continent. And yes—who spanks you when you roll your eyes?

Your Ana

Oh, Ana, you do.

All the time.

I remember her telling me to keep still and tugging my pubic hair while she was sitting astride me, naked. The thought is arousing.

Dear Miss Steele,

I still prefer my title to yours, in so many different ways. It is lucky that I am master of my own destiny and no one castigates me. Except my mother, occasionally, and Dr. Flynn, of course. And you.

I find myself drumming my fingers, waiting for her reply.

Dear Sir,

When have I ever plucked up the nerve to chastise you, Mr. Grey? I think you are mixing me up with someone else…which is very worrying. I really do have to get ready.

Your Ana

You. You chastise me via e-mail at every opportunity—and how could I ever mix you up with anyone else?

Dear Miss Steele,

You do it all the time in print. Can I zip up your dress?

I would rather you unzipped it.

Her words travel directly to my dick, passing “Go” on the way.

Fuck.

This calls for—what did she call them? SHOUTY CAPITALS.

You stole my line.

And left me hanging.

Enjoy your dinner.

Andrea knocks on the door with new schematics from Barney for the solar-power tablet we’re developing. She’s startled that I’m pleased to see her. “Thanks, Andrea.”

“You’re most welcome, Mr. Grey.” She gives me a curious smile. “Would you like some coffee?”

“Please.”

“Milk?”

“No thanks.”

MY DAY HAS IMPROVED immensely. I have knocked Bastille on his ass twice in our two rounds of kickboxing. That never happens. As I slip on my jacket after my shower, I feel ready to face Elena and all her questions.

Taylor appears. “Would you like me to drive, sir?”

“No. I’ll take the R8.”

“Very good, sir.”

Before I leave I check my e-mail.

Sir, I think you’ll find it was Elliot’s line originally.

Hanging how?

Your Ana

Is she flirting with me? Again?

And she’s my Ana. Again.

Miss Steele,

You’re back. You left so suddenly—just when things were getting interesting.

Elliot’s not very original. He must have stolen that line from someone.

How was dinner?

I press send.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? I think you’d just asked me to unzip your dress.

And I was looking forward to doing just that. I am also glad to hear you are eating.

Of course I eat…It’s only the uncertainty I feel around you that puts me off my food.
