Chapter 7
Ana's POV
I move out of Christian's arms and return to the couch. Knowing that I just agreed with Christian's insane plan has my heart racing. The fear I initially felt has disappeared, but the worry hasn't. I doubt that feeling will ever go away. Christian takes the seat next to me on the couch, but doesn't touch me. He knows that we need to have a discussion about what just happened. I turn and look into his eyes and put my hand up to his cheek.
"Never keep me out of the planning discussion again Christian Grey!" I shout, making us both jump. I didn't intend to shout at him, but the little bit of anger I feel toward him decided to make a grand appearance instead.
"Ana, I'm sorry. I got to talking with Ray and things just started coming together. We formulated this plan with you in mind. Please, lets not fight. We have one more day together before I have to leave. Let us enjoy this time together as a family," he strokes my cheek with the back of his hand, but I do not intend to let him off that easily. Nor do I forget that he just said my father helped him formulate this plan. I'm angry with him, but I will deal with my father after Christian leaves.
"I want you to do something for me before you leave," I state, knowing he will agree to this without hesitation in order to make me happy before I tell him what he is agreeing to.
"For you Anastasia, anything," he says so softly you could almost mistake it for a whisper and it sends a chill down my spine. My subconscious says to fuck the talking and get to the fucking, but I ignore her and stick to the mater at hand.
"Have Sawyer and my father teach you how to shoot a gun and keep one on you at all times," I keep my eyes on him and watch as the shock crosses his face. He realizes he just agreed to something before knowing what it was and now he can't back out of it.
"Ana, why? I have a team of security. Why could I possibly need to know how to handle a gun?" After he finishes talking, the look on his face tells me he knows what I'm about to say.
"Do you forget that if I hadn't known how to handle a gun when Hyde had me I would be dead right now?" I ask him, knowing he knows the answer. "I know you Christian Grey. If you decide to go off on your own for some insane reason you need to be prepared. You love control so much, its time for you to take control and learn to protect yourself. Don't you dare say you can protect yourself! Kickboxing with Bastille and whatever it is you do with Elliot doesn't count!"
All he does is stares into my eyes. I don't know what is going through his mind right now, but I need this for my own piece of mind. If he does this, it will really help keep me from being too worried, but he doesn't know that I have a plan of my own in place. I close my eyes for a moment, willing them to not betray what I'm going to do to Christian. I look back up and feel the conflict going on in Christian's mind. His eyes give him away. I scoot over to him and gently lay my head on his shoulder.
"How am I supposed to shoot with a cast on my arm?" he asks, thinking that he just found a way out of his agreement.
"You can use one hand for now. It isn't as accurate, but it will be something," I reply defeating his argument.
"Fine. I'll do it, but this doesn't change my view on guns Ana. I still do not want you having a gun on you when you are with Teddy," he reiterates the conversation we had when I got my permit to carry a concealed weapon after the incident with Hyde. I nod in agreement against his shoulder.
"Thank you," I reply, feeling a sense of relief wash over me.
"Why don't we go find our son and get him ready for bed? Then I plan on taking you to bed Mrs. Grey," he says as I glimpse up at his eyes, seeing the fire in them tells me all I need to know.
"That sounds wonderful Mr. Grey," I say as I stand and offer my hand to him We go hand in hand down the hall to find our son and spend time together as a family.
Taylor's POVFucking Grey! After getting off the phone I slam back another glass of whiskey. I need to find something to keep him from going through with his plan. It is down right crazy. The fact that Ana agreed with him makes me more suspicious than ever. This coming from the woman that went off to try and save Mia from Hyde by herself. It seems out of character for her. I grab my phone and head back to the security office. I need to make arrangements for the trip to Philadelphia, but I also need to call Welch and fill him in on the plan. I know there is no way Christian planned this on his own. He had help from someone. I wonder what Ana would say if she knew her own father played a part in crafting this plan?
"Hey Taylor. What's up?" he asks as he yawns. I feel bad that I woke him, but I know he needs to hear this.
"Grey has gone mad is what's up. He is going to be leaving the safe house the day after tomorrow. He will be attending the meeting in Philadelphia," I inform him as I grab a bottle of water and take a sip.
"Holy shit! What the fuck is he thinking? Does he really feel the risk is worth saving that damn deal?" Welch questions.
"He isn't doing it to save the deal, well, not completely. He is going to use himself as bait to lure the person threatening his family out of hiding. I'm telling you he isn't thinking straight. We are going to need to get additional security for Philadelphia. Plain clothed from a distance and more close protection. Plus we need to find a hotel or apartment we can secure. The plan is to fly back right after his meeting but, in case he needs to stay longer, I want to be prepared," I explain as I run my hand through my hair.
"I'll get on finding some extra guys. Sawyer left me a list of people he trusts just in case we needed back up. They have all been vetted and are cleared to work the detail. As for a hotel or apartment, that is going to be tricky to do with so little time."
"Don't I know it. Do we have any connections in Philadelphia?" I ask and chug the rest of the bottle of water.
"I might know of someone who can find us something. It won't be five star by any means, but it will be secure. Mr. Grey is sure to hate it, but at the moment I don't think we have a choice. It isn't as if we can book and entire hotel and secure it," Welch says and I laugh a little bit.
"Go ahead and do what you need to. Have we found out anything new on Elena or her ex?" I ask as I pull up my email.
"Nothing still. It's as if they have vanished. No digital foot print at all. Barney has been getting in to red light cameras all over the city trying to locate her, but nothing. I sent someone to her house to look around, but it doesn't appear anyone has been there in weeks."
"Keep on it Welch. Start double checking some of the other names on the list. Something doesn't feel right. Elena always made sure we knew she was responsible any time she did something. This doesn't feel like her, plus she isn't one to keep out of her social circle, what is left of it at least," I order Welch. He may be head of security at GEH, but I'm head of security over Christian and his family. When it comes to the well being of him and his family, everyone can fucking deal with my ordering them around.
"I'll get working on that right now. Get some sleep Taylor. You sound like shit and you're gonna need all the rest you can get to keep up with whatever Grey has planned," Welch says reminding me that I haven't slept in almost 48 hours.
"Thanks. Keep me posted," I hang up and lean back in my chair. Something tells me he is right. I don't know what else Christian might have planned. That part scares me more than anything else. He isn't usually this unpredictable. He craves control most of the time. In this instance those two traits seem to be colliding, which means I need to keep a closer eye on him than ever before. Lets just hope he doesn't think about pulling anything stupid.
Christian's POVAfter spending time with Teddy playing and enjoying family time, Ana and I bathe him and get him ready for bed. The knowledge that I am going to be leaving him brings tears to my eyes. I manage to keep them at bay as I kiss his forehead as I put him in his crib to sleep. He has his mother's light complexion and a little blue in his eyes, but other than that he is a miniature version of me. He has Ana's kindness and is even a bit shy at times. He truly is the best of both of us. After turning the lights out I take Ana's hand and lead her to our room. It doesn't have the same warm and inviting feeling as our room back home, but it is our own little bubble in this house. I know that me leaving won't be easy on her. It breaks my heart that I made this choice, but having her backing me eases the pain a little.
Once the door closes my lips crash on to hers. I deepen the kiss and she moans. We have tonight and tomorrow together, and I don't plan on wasting a moment. I move us back to the bed until her legs are against the edge. I plan on taking this slow and maintaining control. Since the accident she has been in control, but tonight I need this. I need control of some part of my life right now. I move my hand to graze her breasts and she tilts her head back, causing them to push further into my hand. My lips trail kisses down her neck and I continue my trail down her body as I remove her sweater. I love the warmth of her skin and how soft it is. I slide my hand down and remove the leggings and lace panties she is wearing as I continue my trail of kisses down her body. Once they are removed I gently nudge her causing her to lie back on the bed.
"Christian, you shouldn't..." she tried to speak but I begin licking her slit causing her to lose all train of thought. I continue to suck and lick her clit until she comes. While she is coming down from her orgasm I remove my shirt and pants, crawl onto the bed so I am between her legs, and center myself so I can slide right into her. I keep my weight on my uninjured arm as I slowly move my hips and enter her warmth. I keep my thrusts slow and steady. Ana realizes what is happening and a worried look takes over the one of pleasure that was just there.
"Please Ana. Let me do this. I need this. Please," I beg her as I don't stop moving.
"Oh god! Christian... please... don't... stop," she pants as I increase my thrusts a little. I can feel her walls beginning to tighten and I know she is close.
"Oh Ana!" I yell out as I feel her come around me, making me spill into her much sooner than I wanted. After taking a moment to catch my breath I pull out of her and lie beside her, pulling her over to me.
"I've missed this Christian. I don't know how I'm going to handle you leaving. Part of me wishes I hadn't agreed to you leaving. I am worried about this, about you being out there," she confesses as she buries her face into my chest.
"Ana, please understand that I'm doing this for us. We need to regain control of our lives. I know it won't be easy for either of us, being away from each other, but we can't keep waiting for whoever is after us to make the next move. I promise that I won't take any unnecessary risks.," I tilt her chin and look into her eyes and promise this to her. I want her to know how serious I am.
"I know you won't. I can't help it though. The last thing I want is for this baby to grow up without a father. I don't know if I could go on without you," she says as a tear falls down her cheek. I quickly wipe it away and kiss where it once was.
"You'll never have to baby. Nothing is going to happen to me. I'll have Taylor with me and a ton of plain clothed security. I'm going to have more security than the President of the United States baby," I say with a smirk, making her giggle, "Lets get some sleep now. I want to spend all day tomorrow with you and Teddy. No more talk of me leaving. I just want tomorrow to be about family."
"It will be. It will be about your family and learning to shoot a gun," she reminds me as she gets comfortable.
"Yes, my family and learning to shoot a gun," I say before my eyes become too heavy to keep open and sleep finds me.
Unknown's POVA wide grin covers my face. The call I just over heard made my day. Christian Grey is going to Philadelphia. Some huge deal hinges on this meeting that he has to be at, other wise a ton of time and money will go down the drain. I feel giddy. I can't believe he would rather save a deal than stay with his family. Why should I care though? This does change things though. I was working on a plain to kidnap his dear mother, but maybe there is another way to get to him. I look at my computer and look at the list of his security detail. All are highly trained with military background. Breaking any of them would be difficult, but surely one of them must have a weakness? I start doing some searching online until I find something.
I move to my room and begin packing a bag. I make sure to grab my journal. As I go to put it in my bag, I open it to the last entry. There is a photo of the Grey family, minus their son, at last years Coping Together fundraiser. Every time I look at the photo my blood boils. The two of them together is sickening. I put the photo back in my journal and shove it in my bag. It takes me another half hour to pack the rest of my things. I doubt I will be coming back here and I don't want to leave any clues that might lead them to me. I put my hat on and look around the room one last time before I leave. I just hope that my new plan will get me what I want, Christian Grey, or even better Ana Grey.
