Hi Everyone! I'm back with the sequel to Oh What a Night. I have been dying to start posting this for you guys, but I wanted to bank some of the story first. I hope you all will like this as much as my first story. If you haven't read the first story I recommend that you do, but you may be able to get along without it. This is just a teaser, and I will post again sometime this week.
I don't own FSOG.
Ch. 1
I step off the elevator at work, my head held high. Though it is only 8:30 am, by sensuous husband made sure that my morning was off to a flying start. I smirk as I am reminded of a delicious soreness as I walk to my office. Never would I have thought that sex would become such an amazing part of my life.
Its hard to some to grips with just how much my life has changed in the last six months. Where I was once a single, virginal girl, I am now a married woman who has sex four times a day on average. I was an only child and now I have a brother and sister. I've gone from an English major, to an editor at a major Seattle publishing company. It may seem quaint to say I love my life, but I do love my life.
I open my office door, and place my briefcase on my desk before I turn around to greet my mentor, Rachel. Everyday I walk into Rachel's office, where we catch up over a quick tea. She has taken me under her wing here, and thanks to her, I have my first big release this weekend.
"Knock, knock!" I say at the entrance to Rachel's office.
"Hey! How are you? How was your weekend?" Rachel asks quickly.
"I'm fine. My weekend was great. What number cup of coffee is that in your hand?" I question as I survey her hyper and disheveled look.
"I'm not quite sure the exact number cup I am on. The twins came down with a stomach virus late last night. I believe I got an hour or two of sleep if I am lucky. Dan stayed home with them for the morning. I am actual taking a half day today so that I can relieve him." Rachel explains.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Can I help you with anything?"
"I can manage work from home, but I would love to hear how you are doing with the upcoming launch."
"The guest list is set, and I am planning on calling every individual who did not RSVP. I'm going to see if I can get ahold of them so I can firm up the numbers. Then I have to update the caterers on how many we are expecting. I talked with the printers, and they have shipped out our stock of the book for the party. They should be here, in office, by tomorrow. My author has already been talked down off of a ledge once, but I'm prepared to do it at least once more." I tell her.
"How about the venue?"
"The location is a large multi-purpose room at the inn down the road. They are letting us in early Friday morning. I am, with your kind permission, planning to be on site all day Friday. I have decorations that are ready to go."
"I'll double check on things, but I think I can send you one or two interns to help you." Rachel tells me as she rubs her eyes.
"That would be amazing. Thank you, Rachel."
"Thank you for doing your job so well. " She smiles at me. "I'm gonna go get another cup of coffee, and I'll meet you at the staff meeting in twenty."
"Ma'am, yes Ma'am." I joke to her.
PAGE BREAK
"I understand, Mrs Purchell. I apologize for calling you, but I really just need a quick yes or no as to whether you will attend or not." I try my hardest to remain professional.
This is my forty seventh phone call of the day. Even though I am home now, I wanted to get through the RSVP list anyway. After numerous messages left and too many phone calls, I am burnt out. Its amazing how rude people can be to you when you just have a simple question for them. I guess I shouldn't be surprised because they were rude enough not to send back the RSVP. Unfortunately I have to be over the top polite to these publishing big wigs.
"Okay. Thank you for your time Mrs Purchell. I'm hoping you find yourself at our launch on Friday. Have a good night." I say in my sickeningly sweet voice as I hang up. "Waste of time." I say as I toss my phone onto the living room couch.
"You know, they say that talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity." I hear from somewhere behind me. I turn to see my gorgeous husband smirking at me from the entryway.
"If that's the case, then maybe you should keep me tied up. You know, for my own protection of course." I flirt with him.
"That can be arranged, Mrs Grey." Christian says as he saunters over to me.
Christian lightly places his fingertips along my arms as he leans in and dusts his lips along mine. This tiny movement takes my breath away and makes my head spin. I raise my arms up his body, gliding along his chest until I anchor my hand behind his neck. He settles his hands on my hips. I stare into his eyes, looking into him. I rub my thumbs along his jawline as he rubs his thumbs along my hip bones. After a moment we both lean in for a deeper kiss than the last. We break for a moment before joining together again. The passion builds with each new kiss, until I feel like I can't stand on my own anymore.
"How was your day?" Christian whispers to me as we catch our breaths, foreheads leaning against one another.
"Mmm, good. Busy. You?" I mumble.
"Same. Glad to be home." he replies.
"Are you hungry?" I ask him.
"A little bit. Why? Is dinner ready?"
"I don't know if dinner is ready, but I was wondering if you might want to take a nap with me." I offer.
"A nap?" he asks worriedly, pulling back from me. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I'm fine, I just thought you might enjoy a nap." I say, but this time I wink on the word nap.
"Oh. A nap." he catches on. "Well, now that you mention it I am really in the mood for a nap." he smirks at me.
"Good." I say as I disentangle from him. He looks confused by my actions. "But, you have to catch me first!"
I turn on a dime and run down the hallway. By the time Christian realizes my intent I am almost to our bedroom.
"Oh, Mrs Grey. You play dirty." Christian shouts after me.
"Back at ya, Baby!"
