Christian's Yearning

CH21

~ security matters ~

Christian is resting comfortably onboard of his luxurious jet en route to Taiwan. He runs his hands over his eyes and over his hair and the hangover headache long gone. He has formed a game plan to deal with the Taiwanese business men; he is not worried about that.

He is wearing flannel black pants and nothing else, his eyes are closed, one arm behind his head. He is supposed to be asleep, but sleep always evades him. The reality is that he only sleeps well when Ana is by his side. Ana, his beautiful, hard-headed, smart-mouth Ana.

He closes his eyes and images of the slim brunette swim around; she is asleep, her long mahogany hair flowing down to her perky perfect breast, and her big blue eyes are closed. Her eye lashes curl up and a shy little smile peeking through. Even his heart beat relaxes at the thought; a classic natural beauty, slim and svelte.

He opens his laptop and sends her an email. He lets her know he is thinking of her and to ‘join the mile high club.’ He reads his emails answering the ones that need attention. The last he reads is from Elena; he decides not to answer it.

I have not heard from you in a while and when I finally call you, you are ill tempered with me!

Are your needs not being met? I have a couple of candidates that you may be interested in.

It has been a few months, I know. There is nothing better than working with well-trained qualified people. Let me know when you are in town so we can set up something; you will not be disappointed.

Elena Lincoln.

Christian hits the delete key. Truth be told, before Ana stumbled into his life, his mood had been flat and gray, days and nights running together. Not even the prospect of yet another sub was enough to brighten his mood.

He had been without a sub for three months before Ana, and another three month since. Which means he has gone half a year without a proper sub. That alone surprises him – it is the longest he has gone without a full blown Dom session. What he does with Ana is light weight kinkery; there is little wonder Elena thinks he needs a sub. He closes his laptop and rests back down. Finally falling asleep; after a few hours he is as rested as he is going to be.

“Sir” Taylor calls after a knock on his door, “you need to see this!”

Christian walks out to the jet’s main cabin. As soon as Tatum, the attendant, drops the coffee cups she is holding after she sees him approach with only his flannels on.

Christian does not hide his displeasure, ‘it is only a pretty face, get over it!’

Then, when he looks up to the screen, he sees his beautiful Ana being harassed by paparazzi. “Reynolds, stepped up. Sir, he took it on his own to be there.”

“Fuck, I was going to fire him and he decides to show some fucking brains! Put him on!”

Taylor calls and puts the phone on speaker.
