Love Is For Fools - Fifty Shades Of Grey: Elena's Story #Explicit [Fifty Shades]

CHAPTER SEVEN

I slide open my eyes to something cold being pressed against my temple.
"I got you this from my bar. Would you like a shower before you go?"
Huh..?
I blink rapidly trying to come back to my senses. I tilt my head and find Adam presenting me with a bottle of chilled water. He offers me his hand and still in a post-orgasmic daze, I struggle into a sitting position.
"So..?" He persists, as he gulps down a couple of mouthfuls from his own water bottle. I take a moment to enjoy the movement of his mouth and throat as it bobs on a swallow. "...Do you need a shower? I have a meeting in 20 minutes, so once I see you off, I need to grab a quick one myself."
I twist the cap of my water bottle and take a welcome gulp. "Umm...No, thank you. I'll shower at home...Especially if you're busy."
He nods. "I apologise for not having more time. I'd have liked to discuss future arrangements with you. Do you have a secured laptop or computer you can use, that only you have access to?"
I shake my head. "No. I just use the one in the home office that I share with Linc."
He nods."Buy yourself a small laptop that you can hide easily. Set it up with a secure password and email address that only you know about." He hands me a slip of paper. "That's my private and secure email address. Set up a private account on the same server, then email me. I'll email you what my requirements are and what our 'arrangement' will entail and if you are happy, we can meet up again. Is that okay?"
"Umm...Yes..." I answer falteringly.
After what he'd just done to me, why do I feel like I'm now negotiating some kind of business deal?
I frown as he retrieves my torn panties and hands them to me. He says nothing and I don't know what the hell I'm meant to do with them, so I fist them in my hand whilst he watches me intently. He then holds out his hand and wordlessly leads me out of the room, locking it behind us. Guiding me into the elevator, we shoot upwards the short distance into the foyer and I push my panties into my purse trying to assemble my scrambled thoughts. Adam stands back as I exit and I head for the outside door feeling all kinds of confused. We had just shared a deep act of intimacy I had never even done with my husband. I know it wasn't an act of love, but why is he being so damn distant with me now? I arrive at the blue door that leads to the car park and suddenly his hand slams against the wood making me jump.
"Elena. Look at me." He growls against my ear.
I turn slowly and gaze into those piercing blue eyes that burn like ice on fire.
"I knew from the offset you were special and today exceeded all expectations. How was it for you?" He asks softly as he trails his finger down my cheek and across my jaw.
"Good."
He arches an dark eyebrow.
"Okay...More than good. It was...Incredible. Truly. It exceeded all my expectations too." I feel a blush heat my skin. I've never had to discuss an orgasm before.
He suddenly smiles like the cat that got the cream and trails his finger over my lips. "I can promise you much more my beautiful Venus and every time will be better than the last. Get a laptop within the next twenty four hours. I'd like to take you to the next level and I very much hope you want to go there." He bends and kisses me deeply. Even his kisses are spectacular and he pulls off my lips just before my knees buckle.
"Until next time hopefully, my Goddess," he purrs against my lips and moves to unlock the door. I stagger out and am momentarily blinded by the sun starting to set. I turn around to say goodbye, but the door has already closed. Adam and his magical mouth had disappeared out of my life again.

I pull into our double garage and my heart sinks. Linc's silver Mercedes is already parked up. Why is he home at this hour? I hoped I'd have more time to prepare myself and at least shower. I quickly check my appearance. My hair is a little mussy so I quickly drag my fingers through it and grab my Chanel No5 spritzer from my purse. Hopefully it's enough to mask the scent of my arousal that I was now so familiar with. In the absence of a shower, it will have to do. I open the back door and I'm greeted by softly playing Jazz music. I immediately bristle. This is Linc's idea of romance, but personally I've never been a fan. It's far too bland for my tastes. My parents brought me up on classical music and I'd much prefer to hear that, but as always, Linc puts his desires ahead of mine.
I put my purse on the kitchen table and bump into Linc as he's coming out of the lounge.
"Hey!" He beams. "I thought I heard you. How was your day?"
Scary, exciting, exhilarating...
"Good." Apparently that's my default answer at the moment. "What are you doing home?"
He looks affronted. "You wanted to talk. I know I've got a hell of a lot of making up to do, so I cleared my schedule for the afternoon." He offers me his hand. "I want to show you something."
I blink a couple of times at him and then at his hand. I was propositioned like this an hour ago, but I doubt Linc wants to show me some kinky shit he's into. I slip my hand tentatively into his.
"Close your eyes."
"What? Why?"
"Please honey, it's a surprise."
I sigh. I'm in no mood for any more surprises today, but he is making an effort and after what I did earlier, the least I can do is humour him.
"Okay." I close my eyes and I feel him lead me I assume through the lounge and into the sunroom. The music increases slightly in volume as we walk. He stops and releases my hand.
"Open your eyes."
Holy crap!
I blink into the room and I'm greeted by wall-to-wall floral arrangements of every size, shape and colour. Linc has transformed my sunroom into some kind of bizarre, romantic hothouse. The table has been laid and set out for the two of us on my pink damask tablecloth with silver cutlery, crystal glass wear, pink candles and flowers in every possible shade of pink.
