Chapter 4 (CPOV)

I reach into my pocket and realize I have to go back home. "Shit." I mutter to myself. I don't do late and today is not looking so good. Remembering last nights tryst and why I've misplaced my wallet makes me smile though. Ana had been home with Teddy all day and when I walked in she handed him to Gail and grabbed me by my tie. Clothes were flung all over our room and my wallet must still be in my jacket pocket from yesterday. Taylor turns the car around and we pull back into Escala. I tell him to wait there and I'll be right back. Walking into our apartment I notice Gail is playing with Teddy. Gail looks up at me and pales. "Mr. Grey why are you here? I thought you and Ana had already left." "I am at a loss here. What are you talking about?" "Mrs. Ana said she was taking you on a surprise trip and I was to keep Teddy over the weekend. I am so sorry Mr. Grey. I didn't mean to ruin your surprise." "It's fine." I mutter as I go to our room and retrieve my wallet. Just as I'm leaving the room, my phone pings. I grab it out of my pocket and check my message. It's an email from Ana.

"Gail, apparently I'm meeting Ana in New York. I'm going to need you to keep Teddy here. If you have any questions do not hesitate to call Ana or myself." I say as I finish my reply to Ana's email. "Yes sir." I hear Gail respond. I walk over to Teddy who is asleep at the moment. Bending over I kiss his cheek. "I'll be back soon little man with your crazy Mom in tow." With that I am out the door and on my way to the airport. I slip inside the SUV and tell Taylor to head to the airport. He doesn't hesitate as he pulls out of Escala but he does give me an odd look. Grabbing my phone I call Sawyer. "Luke I need you to be at the airport in 5 minutes. You're coming with me to New York." I don't even wait for his reply before I hang up. Taylor looks at me in the reflection of the rear view mirror. "Apparently Ana has decided to fly across the country. What goes through that woman's mind is beyond me." I say to him and he nods apologetically. "We're here sir." I hear him say and I look up to see we are in fact already at the airport. I get out and go to the stairs leading to my private jet. Sawyer is standing there as Taylor and I make our way up. I look at both men and start my orders. "Taylor I need you to go back to Escala and watch over Gail and Teddy. Sawyer you are coming with me to New York to get my wife." Both men take their orders and I start for the jet. Sitting down in the passenger seat I run my hands through my hair. She knows how I worry, why is she doing this? I opt to not fly myself feeling way too emotional to concentrate. My back up pilot is already on board and ready to go. Sawyer makes his way to a seat and the door is closed. My mind is racing with so many emotions. We take off and I try to put my thoughts aside. I will get to her soon and then she will be punished. Remembering her itinerary I look down at my watch and realize I am only thirty minutes behind her.

After what feels like an eternity, we finally touch down in New York. I exit the plane and jump into an awaiting black SUV as Sawyer jumps in the driver's seat. I track Ana's phone and give Sawyer the coordinates. We make our way through traffic pretty easily only having to stop a time or two. I'm debating all the possibilities of her punishment but decide to play it by ear. Noticing the car slowing down I look out the window to see we have arrived at our destination. I don't even bother telling Sawyer to follow me because I know he will. Making my way through the doors of the apartment building I head toward the elevator.

"Sir, stop! Sir, wait!" I hear a man yelling behind me and I don't bother turning around. I am on a mission. I board the elevator and turn to shut the doors as the yelling man sticks his arm in the door mid close. He steps inside and the door shuts behind him. He looks at me and continues his rant.

"Sir, you can't just go right up you have to sign in first. You need clearance to go to." he pauses and looks down to see what floor I punched in and upon noticing he turns bright red with anger. "The penthouse Sir, you have to have major clearance to go up there. You can't be here. We have to go back down now. When we stop at the top floor do not get out. Do you hear me, sir?" he glares at me and I can take it no longer. "I don't give a damn who you are or what clearance I need. I came here to get my wife!" I say as the elevator stops on the top floor and I go to step out. Immediately I notice the door to the stairs fly open as Sawyer comes rushing up. I point to the guard and he gives me a nod telling me he will take care of it.

I glance at my phone to make sure I have the right apartment before I barge in. Once the door opens I see Ana standing there looking annoyed, maybe. "I'll give you annoyed" I think to myself.

"I warned you!" I say to her as low and commanding as I can muster.

"Yes you did but I'm not sorry. I did this for you." She snaps back at me.

Her stubbornness is one of her traits I've grown to love but her determination to drive me crazy has driven me…well…crazy! In fact, at the moment I am running all sorts of punishments through my head but none seem appropriate for this particular infraction. They all seem too easy. Acting on spontaneity I cross the room in three strides and grab her, tossing her over my shoulder. I hear her comment on how "she'll work on me" and decide to give her a taste of what the night will hold. I swat her backside; Hard. Though I think it has the opposite effect of what I'm going for. Sawyer appears in the door way and I tell him to take Ana's bags to the car. He nods and does as he is ordered. I walk out the door leaving it wide open. I don't care that the occupant, who I realize I can't even describe because I was so focused on Ana, has to shut his/her own door. Walking toward the elevator, wife in tow, I realize I should probably assert my dominance again. I smack her ass and she giggles; God, how I love that sound.

"You remember what I said about being a firm believer in instant gratification." I ask her as we make our way down the hall.

"Yes" I hear her whisper.

"Then you'd better prepare yourself for what I'm going to do to you." I say as I start to pinch her ass over and over.

"Christian, stop! Put me down!" Ana yells at me as I keep up my assault on her. I'm about to set her down when I see a blur of a fist coming my way. There's a loud crack and then everything goes dark.

I hear someone offer to help Ana and then I hear a man's voice. He's yelling and it's too loud. I moan as I start to feel the pain in my face, particularly my nose. I hear Ana talking some more but I can only hear about every other word. Did she really just say douche canoe? I can feel my head being lifted and hear my Ana worrying about me. I come to in time to hear the "douche canoe" say "he already has a brother" and ask" why would he want another?" Realization kicks in and I know exactly why we are here. Finding my voice I reply "The feeling is definitely mutual." I struggle to my feet and turn to Ana, "Come on Mrs. Grey, we're getting the hell out of here. I'll deal with you when we get to our apartment."

"Does that mean we're staying in New York?" Ana asks as she looks at me with excitement dancing in her eyes.

"For tonight, it's been a stressful day having my wife run all over the country. We'll be leaving first thing in the morning." I say emphasizing the word "wife."

"If we're staying tonight then maybe we can all go to dinner. Let the two of you get to know each other. Please?" she asks and I struggle with my response.

Eva interjects with her two cents then turns to the asshat who is apparently named Gideon. I don't even care to hear his response so I make work of keeping the cloth on my nose. I think the blood has finally stopped but you can never be too sure. I run my hands through my hair and hear Ana giggle then Eva starts to laugh and eventually both girls are doubled over laughing. I look over at the shitwad and notice he's doing the same exact thing with his hands as I am. Standing there we just stare at each other as the girls try to compose themselves. I notice we do have some facial similarities and obviously we have some of the same tendencies as well. Eventually he leaves the question of dinner up to me and I turn to my wife. "Ana, I can't. Not tonight. Let's go to our apartment and we'll talk about it. Maybe we can stay in New York for the weekend. I'm assuming you packed clothes for us?" I shake my head as she nods. "You always do think of everything. Fine we'll stay the weekend. I need to see how my new Grey Isles campaign is going anyway. I heard we got a new male model that might be good for another project. I'll set up a meeting with him, ok?" Ana beams at me then throws her arms around my neck and squeals. "Thank you, sir." She says knowing the effect it will have on me.

"Um Christian, is the model's name, Carey Taylor by any chance?" Eva interrupts.

"Actually, yes it is. I hear he's this new up and comer." I say interested how they could possibly be linked.

Eva laughingly says, "Well if you want to meet him I can definitely make arrangements for it. He's my best friend. In fact, he was my roommate before I moved in with Gideon."

"Thank you that would be much appreciated Miss Trammel."

I grab Ana's hand and lead her toward the elevator. "Eva, I'll call you when I know our plans for tomorrow night. It was nice to meet you Gideon, though I don't appreciate you punching my husband."

"Sorry" I think I hear him mumble. I drag her on the elevator and wait for the door to close. Once it does she starts in on her apology. "I am so.." "Be quite." I cut her off. We stay in silence the rest of the way down. Once inside the car Sawyer heads for our apartment. "Christian, please. I am so sor.."

"For the love of God Ana, will you please stop talking!" I yell and she complies. We arrive at the apartment in no time and I lead her up to the penthouse. She says nothing as I lead her to the bedroom. "Stand here." I tell her and walk a few feet away to sit on the edge of the bed. I decide to give her the benefit of the doubt and let her explain herself.

"Anastasia, you have one minute to explain to me your behavior today and then you'll receive your punishment." I see her gulp and then she stare at me wide eyed.

"You may start now." I say and wait for her to speak.

"Fine, but you asked for it so remember that. Do you have any idea what it's like to be an only child? Well let me tell you, it sucks. It's a very lonely feeling knowing you have no one to turn to. Especially, when your biological Father is dead and your Mother changes husbands as often as most people change their clothes. I did this for you, for us, especially Teddy. The more family he has the better and the same goes for you. Can we please stay and at least talk with them. Let him fill in the gaps about your Dad. As a father wouldn't you want someone to tell Teddy about you if you were no longer here? Please, Christian. Please just try to .." She starts to cry and covers her face with her hands.

Feeling guilty as hell I jump up grab her in an embrace. "Please." She sobs and I've suddenly lost my willpower. "Okay, we'll go, but don't expect a miracle." I say sounding as exasperated as I feel. Maybe finding out more about my family won't be such a bad thing. I hug her tighter and comfort her as best I can. She stills and looks up at me. "Am I forgiven?" she asks softly.

"For now." I relent.

"Thank you, sir." She says and I know my eyes darken a few shades. I see her shiver and then she asks, "Do you still want to punish me, Mr. Grey?"

"You have no idea." I say as I walk backward to the edge of the bed. I sit down with my legs spread and pull her in between them. Slowly I unbutton her pants and drag them down. I slip her shoes off and she step out of her pants. Looking up at her I start to unbutton her shirt. She reaches for my shirt and I stop. "No mam. I am in charge tonight." Finishing with her shirt I slip it off her shoulders and leave her standing in front of me in nothing but her bra and panties. I push her back a step and stand up removing my own shoes and shirt. I leave my pants on because I know this drives her wild. I make my way to the closet and grab a few ties I had laying around. I go back to the room and pick her up throwing her on the bed. She yelps in delight and I can see the excitement on her face. Making quick work of one tie, I bound her hands together then secure them to the bed frame.

Realizing I only have one other tie I decide to make do with what I do have. I stand up and walk to the guest room leaving her there wondering what's next. I grab the sheet from the bed and head back for my sweet Ana. Walking into the door way I skillfully grab the sheet and tear it into two pieces. Grabbing her right leg I tie it to the bed post and then repeat with her left. With all her limbs secured I grab the remaining tie and use it as a blindfold. "Are you ever going to disobey me again?" I ask her smirking as she attempts to wriggle free. "No sir." She stutters and gives up. I kiss her jaw making my way to her lips. Once there I start the kiss slow and let it build. When she bucks her hips up to meet my body I move my kisses from her lips back to her jaw then trail my way down her stomach. Her breath hitches as I swirl my tongue in her navel.

"I hope you've learned by now to not get attached to any of your underwear." I say right before I rip them off with my teeth. She gasps but doesn't respond. I lift her up a bit and unhook her bra which lucky for me is strapless. Once I have her in all her naked glory I lean down and blow hot air over the one spot she wants me to touch the most. Her hips buck up and she cries out. "Christian, please!" she begs but good things come to those who wait. I repeat my action and hear another moan. Grabbing both her breast at the same time I tweak her nipples. I notice there isn't as much milk as usual. She must have pumped before she left this morning. "Bummer" I think to myself. Call me weird if you want but I still enjoy it. While working on her nipples I bend my head down and kiss her at the apex of her thigh. She's on the edge already and I can't let her have hers so soon. This is supposed to be a punishment of sorts. I slow my actions until her breathing steadies and then I start again with even more. I trail my tongue along her apex and finally make it to her button. I slip two fingers inside her knowing she is good and ready and keep my tongue at work. Her bottom lifts up quickly trying to set a rhythm for me and she cries out. "Oh, please!" I decide to finally give in because (A.) I'm so turned on to the point of being in pain and (B.) I can't deny her anything. Standing up I remove my pants then jump back into action slamming into her. She cries out and so do I. It feels so damn good. I take off her blindfold and look into her eyes. I need her to see the love I have for her and I need to see the love she has for me as well. "Kiss me" she begs and I comply as we continue our rhythmic pattern. Finally she cries out "Oh Christian!" and I feel her release as I find my own. I lay there for a moment letting her feel my weight and just feel me. Unfortunately, nature calls and Ana looks up at me, "Um, Christian can you untie me please? I really need to pee." She says shyly. I untie her and let her do her thing while I start the shower. I step inside and she joins me a minute later. We gently wash each other and make out a little. Spent, we decide to head on to bed. I kiss her good night as we cuddle together. "I love you Mr. Grey." She whispers after our kiss. "As I love you Mrs. Grey." I reply.

Ana's POV

Thirty minutes later I feel Christian's breath steadying and know he's finally out. I grab my phone off the bedside table and send a quick text to Eva.
