ANA'S POV :

When Christian was talking about a treat, he was referring to us making out in the shower. Naked, I might add. While normally I would have loved it, I was just nervous now. I mean, Christian could hear my thoughts, Jesus! And right now, my brain was a mushed melting pot of thoughts and sensations.

I moaned into Christian's mouth as his tongue tangled with mine, setting my heart on fire. Oh God! Christian, baby...

Ana! Did I mention that I love listening to your thoughts?

Only a thousand times since today morning, I rolled my eyes. It seemed that while I was worried about this fiasco, Christian was enjoying this too much. He seriously loved watching me squirm.

Did you just roll your eyes at me?

Christian's hands found my breasts as he peppered kisses down my cleavage. Oh my god! Baby, don't do anything now... We need to find Ria.

Christian smiled down at me, his dark gaze was smoldering with desire. "You worry too much Mrs. Grey," he said.

"That's a good thing. We should fix this now Christian. I don't want to broadcast all my thoughts to you," I said silently. It was a sucky response because Christian's eyes rose up in suspicion.

Ana, is everything alright? You're not hiding anything from me?

I sucked in my breath and tried to blank my mind. Christian couldn't find out what I was hiding from him now. I wasn't ready to tell him yet.

No, Christian. Of course not.

Christian still looked unconvinced, but before he could push it further I kissed him again. This time I didn't try to hold back my thoughts and let him know how his kisses made me feel.

When Christian and I left our house an hour later, we were both grinning. It had felt wonderful. Sex, hot bath and thought sharing.

"Do you know where we are going?"

Christian pulled his car out from the driveway. He nodded, his eyes fixed on the road. "She worked in this clairvoyance shop called Stardust."

I frowned as I rested my head against the headrests. Stardust, that sounded like some Disney movie. Definitely a lame name for a clairvoyance shop. I kept pondering over this, and tried to block out all thoughts of the secret I was keeping hidden from Christian. Just the thought of it made my stomach flip.

"We're here," Christian suddenly announced, pulling up in front of a chain of small stores. I stumbled out of my reverie and got out of the car and followed Christian past the clutter of stores to the shop at the far end. It was a run down place, that held a battered and dusty sign. The entrance was covered in long and deep red curtains that smelt of smoke as we went in. Instantly, we were hit by the smell of sandal, leather and incense sticks. The whole place was lit by a tiny neon gas lamp giving a creepy glow to the other wise dark room. Instinctively my hands found Christian's as we walked further in.

"Welcome to Stardust!"

A raspy disembodied voice floated through the dark. My heart nearly stopped beating at the sudden intrusion. "Holy shit!"

Standing in the dark, almost merging with the shadows was a young woman. She chuckled at my outburst and stepped into light revealing her black curls and beady black eyes. She wore deep purple robes that suited her tan skin. "I'm Teshi. What can I assist you in?"

Christian, unlike me, was calm and his brows were raised in silent amusement as he looked at the strange woman in front of him. "Miss Teshi, we are looking for Ria. I met her yesterday and she said she worked here."

Teshi looked surprised. "I'm sorry, I know no Ria. You are looking in the wrong place."

I shot Christian a panicked look. What do we do now?

Christian pressed my hand reassuringly. We'll find a way.

He looked so confident that I wanted to believe him, but it was a little difficult considering that Ria had tricked us. Nevertheless, I began following my husband out, when suddenly Christian stopped. His shoulders were tense.

Fuck!

What happened?

My scalp was tingling with fright as I followed Christian's line of vision to see him staring at an old painting of a gypsy woman. Beneath the painting was the name board KOHLRIA.

Slowly Christian turned to face Teshi. "She is the one I met yesterday. Ria."

Teshi frowned, her eyes widening to dark black pools. "Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"I'm sorry, it's highly unlikely. Kohlria, the one you call Ria was my great grandmother. And here's the catch, she died twenty five years ago."
