As Anastasia prepared to leave the region she felt the bravery drain out of her. She knew that Christian UDL would be furious at her for breaking his command, but he made her so … angry with his controlling ways. She shivered as she remembered the feel of his breath on her neck as he breathed into her ear: “It seems, Miss Steele, that I cannot stop you joining the NPA. But I want to make it clear to you that I utterly, utterly forbid you to raid.”
“You cannot tell me what to do, Christian, I never signed your contract. You are not my … master”
“It is true, Ana, that you are not as submissive as I would like. But you are still… mine. You will find that I have few hard limits, but the rule about raiding is one of them.”
As Anastasia recalled the conversation that had taken place only a few days ago, she felt a moist shiver run through her body. Why did she feel this way about UDL? Every instinct she had screamed at her to run, but at the same time she knew that she could not live without him. She had seen the fury in his eyes when she announced, so casually, that she was joining the NPA. But now? What would he do when he found out (as he inevitably would) what she was doing now?
Anastasia shook her head angrily, as if to pull herself together. She knew that if she did not act now she would never be free of Christian UDL. Almost violently she jerked the cursor over the icon marked “Tired of life in the North Pacific?” “Yes!” She wanted to scream. “Yes, I am tired of being controlled by Mr UDL. Yes, I am tired of being told by him what I may or may not do. Yes, I am ready!”
She chose the region with care, and felt her hand tremble on the mouse. She could see his sapphire blue eyes boring into the very core of her being, as if he was in the room with her, standing right at her shoulder. How could he do this, without even touching her. Why did she feel such fear, but at the same time such …. arousal?
It was not just Christian UDL, she admitted to herself ruefully. His chauffeur and bodyguard TITO needed to be taken into consideration too. TITO, so professional and respectful, but also so disapproving when she did something wrong. Did she dare offend TITO too?
Finally, with a shiver, she punched the mouse button. She had done it! She had proved that she was not Christian UDL’s ….slave. She was different from all the submissives he had used and abused in the past. She was Anastasia Steele, proud member of the North Pacific, and the North Pacific army.
Her eyes closed and she gulped. Her breath came in short, shallow gasps as she moved her nation out of the North Pacific. She had done it! Whatever the consequences, she was going to raid
