Ever since Christian and Ana were intimate, it was all either of them could think of. Ana had turned into a sex fiend. All she thought about was Christian and what he could do to her with his fingers, his mouth, his cock. The next day, the second that Jack went to work, she practically jumped into his arms in the kitchen, grinding her hips against his and kissing him with such longing that he was in shock at first. Her libido was on fire. She'd never found sex enjoyable and so had never really thought of it as anything other than a chore that had to be done to pleasure her husband. Christian had turned her wanton. All she could think about was how their bodies moved together yesterday, how he felt inside of her, how he'd pleasured her most intimate area with his tongue. Her thighs were perminatly pressed together when he entered a room and she found herself staring at his crotch, practically bugging her eyes out at the bulge residing in them whenever he walked though the door of the kitchen or came down the stairs. Christian was the same; he was perminantly hard and it didn't help when she stared at him so blatenty. He'd never been like this... so out of control and utterly aroused at everything, not even as a teenager. He wanted to take her on every item of furniture, every wall when he saw her. One bite of her lip could make him throb.

"I want you," she mumbled against his lips not caring where they were. Her fingers tugged at the buttons on the shirt he wore, almost ripping them from the material and he groaned against her lips.

"Shower," he mumbled. Even his voice made her knees go weak; the deep, baritone turned her into a pool of goo. She pulled away from him and her eyes lit up. She'd never thought that sex in the shower was even a thing but the thought excited her. The water running down the bodies as they joined together.

"Yes," she moaned. He started to walk towards the downstairs bathroom, kissing her the entire way almost bashing into the wall once or twice. It was animalistic the way they moved. Hands ripped at clothes, lips colliding together passionately, their naked bodies sliding together. She'd never had sex in the shower before; only ever in bed with the lights off but she was willing to do anything that Christian asked of her in order to feel even an ounce of the pleasure she'd felt when she was in his bed.

"Oh god.. oh Christian," she whined as he moved them under the spray of the shower as it started to warm up, pushing her against the wall.

"Fuck," he groaned, pushing himself inside of her as she let out a cry of pleasure. He gave her a second to adjust to his size before moving in and out of her slowly, prolonging their connection. It was incredible how they could be so passionate and lust filled one minute, and so slow and gentle the next. She was so wet, so tight around him.

"You feel so good," she moaned, her fingers roving through his hair as he moved within her. He was incredible. He pulled her earlobe into his mouth sucking it gently before moving down her neck, sucking and kissing his way to her chest. Ana closed her eyes, moaning out and panting as his mouth closed around her nipple. Her fingers scratch down his back, digging in so hard that he knew there would be marks but he didn't feel the pain, if anything it turned him on to know just how much she was enjoying it. He moved faster, deeper, harder.

"Keep going... oh Christian,"

"Ana! let go for me, Now!" she came spectacularly screaming out as he continued to thrust inside of her. His name echoed around the room as she rode the waves of rapture, squeezing him like a fist until he couldn't hold on any longer and spilled himself inside of her.

"Fuck," Christian moved his head from where he had rested it in the crook of her neck and looked at her in shock.

"Did you just swear?" he asked and she flushed bright red, letting out a giggle and hiding her face in his chest, nodding lightly.

"Why I never... Anastasia Hyde swearing," he tutted in fake admonishment and she giggled louder.

"Come on Miss Swears a lot, let's go to bed," she practically ran to his bedroom, sopping wet and naked, giggling excitedly the whole way. When he didn't follow her she went back to the bathroom to see him wiping himself dry with a towel.

"Aren't you coming?" she asked impatiently. He chuckled and continued to dry his body, throwing a towel around her shoulders and bringing her to him.

"I thought I would dry myself first so I don't leave a trail of water up to the bedroom,"

"It will dry fast, come on, I want to do that again," she grabbed for his hand and he laughed at her eagerness, allowing her to lead him upstairs. He'd follow her to the end of the earth.


5 days later

Ana sat in the kitchen with her husband as he read the newspaper. She'd tried to make conversation with him; asked him if he wanted any more food and whether he wanted anything in particular for tea but she was met with grunts or one word answers. She gave up in the end and awkwardly pottered around the kitchen, willing her mind to think of anything other than Christian whilst she was around her husband; but it was no use. He was all she thought about. There was a permanent blush on her face as she thought about what they'd been up to the last week; what she'd let him do to her.. what she'd done to him, for him, with him. She didn't know how she ever lived without him; she loved him so much and wanted to be with him all the time. Christian had gone to the mayors office to get into contact with the American naval fleet. He'd been told that they'd send him a telegram telling him that he was needed but he wanted to be sure that he hadn't missed anything. It was Saturday. Today was usually the day that she'd get dragged to the pub or Jack would invite his friends over and she'd have to cook for them all. It was so boring without Christian around; he was the only exciting thing in her life. She looked at Jack but he just continued to read the newspaper, stirring his tea with a spoon. Aparently she hadn't 'done it right.'

She found her mind drifting to yesterday morning and felt her face heat up at the thought.

Flashback

She pulled him down onto the bed, pulling at the buttons on his shirt and using her feet to kick down his trousers. He pulled her dress over her head, his lips coating her neck with delicate caresses and his hands working on her underwear. Once they were naked, she opened her legs for him and he moved his fingers to pleasure her until she stopped him.

"I just want you inside me," she moaned, moving her hands down to squeeze the hard muscle of his backside. He groaned and kissed her deeply, burying himself deep inside of her warm body. They both moaned, hands dragging across sweat coated skin, tugging at hair, lips touching ever piece of flesh available."Christian! oh Christ...Christian," Ana moaned as he moved faster, his hips snapping hard against hers.

"Call me Captain," he growled, attacking her neck.

"Huh?" she was dazed, so far out of it that she barely heard him. All she could hear was the slapping of their skin, his breath at her ear.

"Call me captain," Christian breathed. Ana was panting, she was so close.

"Harder Captain," Christian groaned hearing the word. He'd always wanted someone to call him that in bed.

"That's it, oh fuck, you feel so good baby," Christian groaned.

"Captain!" Ana came loudly, her hips rocking as she convulsed and Christian followed soon after her. They lay there, his head laying on her chest, his penis still nestled between her legs, as close as they could possibly be.

"What brought that on?" she asked.

"I have no idea, I guess it was the heat of the moment," Christian said, a little embarrassed.

"You are my captain," she beamed, "I liked what you called me," Ana whispered, stroking his hair gently.

"Baby?"

"Yeah, I like it," Christian grinned.

"I'll make sure to call you that more often then, my love," he kissed her, a soft kiss that quickly turned passionate and before long, she was under him again, moaning as he entered her.

End Flashback

"Anastasia are you listening to me?" she pulled herself out of her hazy fog to see her husbands angry eyes glaring at her.

"Sorry.. sorry Jack, what did you say?"

"I said I need you out of here today, the boys are coming around to play cards and you can't be here," she gulped.

"Where should I go?" she instantly wished Christian was here, at least she'd have him.

"I don't care, go to Kate's, just don't be here," Ana instantly lit up at the thought of going to Kate's house.

"Ok, I'll go get ready and leave," Ana rushed out of the kitchen and went up to her bedroom to get ready. She came down a few minutes later.

"Erm, I'll see you later?" Jack grunted, picking a deck of card to see which ones he wanted to use.

Ana left the house and practically skipped over to Kate's house. It had been so long since she'd had a good girl talk with Kate and she needed one. She had so much to tell her. She rang the bell excitedly and heard Kate's footsteps as she walked to the door. Her eyes went wide when she saw Ana stood there with a smile of her face.

"Ana? what are you doing here?" she asked surprised.

"I've come to spend the day with you," Kate squealed excitedly.

"Come on in,"

Ana and Kate went into her living room and sat down on the sofa.

"What's happened? how are you possibly here right now?" Kate asked, knowing what Jack was like. She'd always hated Jack and was the only woman who had ever stood up to him. Christian was the only other person who had stood up to her. When Kate did, it was after a dinner party where she'd calling him a few choice words after he insulted Ana in front of her and he ended up dragging Ana away early. That was why he'd forbidden Ana from going anywhere near Kate.

"Jacks having his friends around for a day of poker and cards so he said I could come here,"

"I'm so glad you're here Ana,"

"So am I, Oh Kate, so much has happened," Kate instantly went into protective mode.

"What's he done now? I swear to god Ana, I will kill him if he's done anything," Kate growled. Ana shook her head.

"No...no, Kate nothing like that,"

"What's happened then,"

"I can trust you can't I Kate? you've been my best friend for years, I can trust you to not Judge me and to hear me out?"

"Of course?" Kate asked intrigued.

"I... well I.." Ana stuttered.

"It's ok Ana, whatever's happened you can tell me,"

"I've been sleeping with the Captain," Ana blurted out, instantly putting her hand over her mouth. Kate looked like a gold fish, she went wide eyed and kept opening and closing her mouth like the wanted to say something but didn't know what she wanted to say. After a few moments, Kate started laughing.

"Oh my god Ana, I'm speechless, I never thought that was coming out of your mouth. I don't blame you, Jesus Christ I'd open my legs for that man in a heartbeat," Ana shook her head at her but then laughed, relaxing a little.

"Tell me everything." Ana went on to tell Kate everything, the first time they kissed, the incident in the kitchen, shaving him, the first time they had sex and then every subsequent time since. She didn't go into too much detail but Kate was hooked onto every word she said.

"I can't believe it, wow Ana,"

"I love him Kate, I'm so in love with him I can't even see straight," Kate frowned.

"Ana, you know he's not staying for ..."

"I know," Ana cut her off, "I know I'm setting myself up for heartbreak, I know I am. But I can't help it." Ana felt tears well in her eyes at the thought of Christian leaving, taking her heart with him.

"If it's meant to be, Ana, he'll come back for you. From what you've told me, it seems that your captain is very much in love with you aswell," Ana smiled at the point about him being hers; her captain. Her Christian. She nodded. They chatted for a little while longer, the topic of conversation never really shifting from Christian when there was a knock on the door.

"Wait here, I won't be a minute," Kate said getting up from the couch. Ana listened as Kate opened the door and gasped.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. Ana curiously tried to get a glimpse of who was at the door.

"Sorry, Jack told me Ana was here so I told him I was going for a run," Ana immediately raced towards the door at the sound of his voice. She hadn't seen him or heard from him all morning and it was incredible how much she missed him.

"Hi," he said. His smile was a sad one, his eyes had lost the sparkle that they always held and she knew that something was wrong.

"Hi," she whispered.

"Come in Captain, make yourself at home," Kate moved out of the way and Ana grabbed his hand. He looked between her and Kate curiously and Ana smiled.

"She knows," Christian nodded. They walked into the room and went to sit on the sofa. Kate sat on the far side and Ana went to sit in the middle before being tugged into Christians lap. He wrapped his arms tightly around her, needing to feel her and Ana instantly knew something was very wrong. She stroked his arms that held her and Kate watched their interaction curiously.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" Ana asked.

"The Mayor got in touch with the American embassy, I leave on Monday morning for my next mission," Ana gasped and tears flooded her eyes. She was losing him. They only had 2 days left together. Her heart shattered in an instant. She broke down into loud, shaking sobs and Christian pulled her into his chest, holding her as she cried. Kate moved closer to them, stroking Ana's back as she cried into her Captain's chest.

"I'm sorry, sweet girl, I'm so sorry," he whispered, kissing her forehead as she cried. She was gripping his shirt like her life depended on it.

"Please don't leave, please don't leave me, I love you Christian, I love you," she cried, Christian felt a tear escape his eye and roll down his cheek. He wiped it away with the corner of his shirt and Kate gave him a sad smile.

"I can't leave you Ana. Not with that monster," Christian said. This wasn't the first time Christian had brought this up.

"You have to go Christian, you don't have a choice. I've survived living with Jack for years, I can survive living with him whilst your gone, I promise I'll be ok," Ana tried to reassure him, tears running down her face.

"I'm not letting you stay with that monster, can't you stay with Kate?" Christian asked, looking at Kate who nodded her head.

"No, Christian, he'll find me, he'll know somethings up and he'll find me. Kate will be the first person he comes to ask of my whereabouts. You have to leave and I have to stay, we don't get a choice," Ana sobbed.

"We do Ana, I'll think of something," Ana shook her head.

"There's nothing you can do, you have to serve and I have to stay," her voice broke and he sighed.

"I'm sorry Ana, I'm so sorry my sweet girl," Christian held her tightly as she sobbed into his chest.

"I love you," her soft, hoarse voice was muffled against his clothing.

"I love you too, we'll see each other again Ana, I promise, I'll come back for you,"

Ana's cries turned to sobs and then she was just sniffing as she rested against him. She hadn't moved her face from his chest, intent on staying there for the rest of her life.

"Baby, look at me," he whispered. She shook her head against his chest.

"Please Ana, let me see those gorgeous eyes," she hesitantly raised her head and his heart ached at her sight. red, swollen eyes, nose and lips, a flush covering her cheeks. She was so beautiful, so fragile. He willed himself then and there that he would survive his next mission and he'd come back for her as soon as it was over. He'd knock on her door, take her in a car to his ship and they'd live happily ever after.

"I need to get back or your husband will get suspicious," she cast her eyes downwards and nodded. She knew he did, but she didn't want him to.

"I love you so, so much,"

"I love you too," she whispered. Her voice was hoarse. They kissed each other, soft and sweet knowing that Kate was nearby but oh so meaningful. He gently removed her from his lap, planting one last kiss on her lips and then left her, heartbroken and hopeless on the sofa. She instantly mourned the loss of him, how would she survive a life time without him if she could barely last a few minutes?

"I'm so sorry Ana," Kate whispered. Ana looked up. She'd almost forgotten her friend was even there. Kate had been crying too, her face was red and Ana held out her arms wanted a hug from her friend.

"Can't you stay with me whilst he'd gone Ana?" Ana shook her head.

"No, that isn't the first time Christian's asked me that, he practically begged me to stay with you but it won't help. I'll only be a few doors away from Jack and then he'll know for sure that somethings going on. I have survived for a long time as Jack's wife, I can live a little longer in that house with him," Kate wasn't convinced. Ana had seen the same look on Christians face the other night when he'd first implored her to stay with Kate. Not wanting to cause an argument when they didn't have long left together, he'd eventually let it go until now. Kate sighed.

"Is there nothing I can do to convince you?" Ana shook her head sadly.

"I won't have anyone, especially you, getting hurt or put in danger because of me. Jack is my problem and I can live under his roof until Christian comes back. Knowing Christian is coming back is enough to keep me fighting. I love him Kate, as long as he comes back to me, I'll survive," Ana gave her a watery smile and Kate smiled softly back at her.

"He promise he'd come back for you Ana and I believe him. He's a good man and you deserve happiness,"

"I'll pray every single day," Ana whispered, "I'll pray that he'll come back to me,"


Ana walked home with Kate by her side.

"Will you be ok?" she asked. Ana nodded lightly.

"I'll be ok,"

"I'm really glad we spent the day together,"

"Me too,"

"I'll see you soon," Ana hugged Kate one last time before opening the front door to her house. She instantly heard the sound of male voices laughing; drunk male voices. She was glad that kate had sorted her out so that she didn't look like she'd been crying because she honestly didn't know what she'd say if Jack asked. Oh, hey Jack, I'm crying because I'm head over heels in love with the captain whose been the guest in our house for the past couple of week and we've been sleeping together every chance we get ad he's leaving soon and I can't handle it.

She opened the living room and 4 sets of curious eyes as well as one sad pair of grey ones looked at her.

"You're back late," Jack accused.

"Kate walked me home," Ana said softly.

"well you can go up to bed, you're not needed," Ana nodded, glancing at Christian on the way past him. She walked up the stairs, undressing and climbing into bed. She wiled herself not to crying knowing that her husband could come up any minute but she'd never felt so... weak. She tried to ignore the noises coming from downstairs and closed her eyes, trying to forget about the day. She could have only been asleep for a few minutes when she felt the bed dip and 2 strong arms pulling her against a familiar chest. She knew who it was, she recognised his smell.

"Hi," his voice was muffled against her shoulder.

"Hi,"

"They've all gone down the pub," Ana nodded.

"Will you forgive me Ana?" Ana turned to face him.

"Forgive you for what?" she asked.

"For having to leave you, for making you cry. I promise myself I'd never make you cry and I did,"

"Just promise me something Christian,"

"Anything,"

"Come back to me, come back for me. Whether it's now or in a years time. However long the war lasts. I can wait, I will wait for you but please don't forget about me," her eyes filled with tears and he wiped them away.

"I could NEVER forget about you, you're all I think about. I WILL come back for you. I want us to have a home, to get married, to see you round with my child, to grow old with you." Ana smiled at him softly.

"I'd love that,"

"I'll always be with you Ana, In here, you have my heart, those blue eyes stole it from me the first time we met and I'd never ask for it back,"


Sunday morning

"I heard you're leaving us Captain," Jack said when Christian came into the kitchen that morning. Ana couldn't help but notice the small smile on Jack's face when he said it.

"Yes, I've been called to return for my next voyage," Jack nodded.

"When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow morning," Jack nodded.

"I'll have the boys throw you a party later then at the pub, a going away party," Christian cringed at the thought.

"That's ok Jack, I have to pack my things and get ready for tomorrow,"

"Fair enough, Captain," they sat in silence. Ana and Christian were desperate for some time alone but it didn't seem like Jack was going anywhere.

"Say Captain, if the war is nearly over like they say it is, why are you going back out there to fight? why are you needed?"

"Because it isn't won yet and it's my duty as a naval captain to fight until the end. I will fight until the enemy surrenders as my duty to my country,"

"When do you think it will be over?" Jack asked curiously.

"Soon, by the end of this year hopefully,"

"Then what will you do?" Christian gulped. I'll come back for your wife and take her back to America with me.

"I'm not sure just yet," he moved his eyes subtly to Ana and she turned away from his gaze with a small smile of her face.

To Ana and Christian's dismay, Jack decided to stay in for the day. He sat down in the kitchen most of the time, reading on drinking. Christian went out for a run and then went to the mayors office to speak to him about the arrangements for what would be happening tomorrow morning. He was gone most of the day and came back around 6. He wanted to spend all of that time with Ana but he knew they would be too tempted and Jack was in the house. He couldn't risk Ana's safety with him going tomorrow by being wreck less.

"What did the mayor say?" Ana asked when he came back. Jack looked up at his curiously.

"A car is coming to pick me up at 11 and taking me to the dock," Ana nodded. At least that would give them some time in the morning before he had to leave. She wanted to make every single second with him count. She continued to stir the soup she was making on the stove as Christian sat down next to Jack.

"Are you sad to go Captain?" Jack asked. Christian didn't know what to say? yes he was sad to go because of Ana, he loved her and he would miss her so much. But he couldn't say that.

"In... some ways yes, but I also love it out on the water," he tried to make eye-contact with Ana so she'd know that he was sad to leave her but she didn't turn around.

"Yes, I can imagine that, you must be used to being on the water by now," Christian nodded.

"Yes, but the land also has it's advantages," Ana did look at Christian that time, a blush gracing her face as she thought about what he meant. It certainly does have some advantages she thought.

The evening was quiet and tense. Jack sat with Ana at the table almost as though he was trying to mark his territory. Christian didn't say a word, not wanting to draw attention to himself. He pulled his pocket watch out of his trouser pocket and looked at the time.

"If you two don't mind, I think I'm going to head to bed, I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow,"

"Goodnight captain," Jack held out his hand to shake, "If I'm gone by the time you come down tomorrow, then good luck," Christian nodded.

"Thank you,"

"Goodnight Captain," Ana whispered.

"Goodnight Maam," he nodded at her.

Christian was gone for 10 minutes or so before Jack practically pounced. He grabbed her face and pulled it to his planting a sloppy kiss on her. He tasted of bitter alcohol and she found herself wanted to be sick.

"Come upstairs, I want sex," he all but demanded, tugging her hand. Tears burned her eyes and her heart was racing. Normally she'd have just gone along with it but having sex with her husband whilst Christian was in the house... down the hall almost felt like betrayal.

"Jack stop,"

"No," he growled, pulling her into their bedroom and shoving her onto the bed. "I want the captain to know you're mine. My wife. Did you think I wouldn't notice? the little looks between you? you've been fucking him haven't you Anastasia. You spread your legs for the Captain didn't you," he growled, crawled on top of her. He shoved her dress up her legs and she panicked.

"Does he fuck you like I do?" Jack growled unbuttoning his pants. Ana was shaking in fear. She did the only thing she could think of; the only think that came into her mind in that moment. She screamed for the man that would save her.

"CHRISTIAN!" Jack tried to put his hand over her mouth but it was too late. A shirtless Captain Christian Grey walked into the room, his eyes blazing with anger. He hauled Jack off of Ana, shoving him against the wall and holding him there with one arm. Jack looked down at him.

"That is the last time you will lay a finger on her," Christian spat.

"What are you going to do about it? she's a fucking whore,"

"Don't you EVER call her that," Christian slammed Jack against the wall and tightening his grip around his neck.

"Stop, please," Jack groaned, his eyes starting to water and his hands grabbing at Christian's wrist trying to pry it from his neck.

"Christian, enough," Ana said, moving behind him. Hearing her voice calmed him, he dropped Jack to the ground and he coughed and spluttered trying to catch his breath.

"Your wife and I have never slept together, ever. We have become friends, that is all. There's nothing else to it. She is not a whore so don't fucking call her that," Jack nodded, looking like a little boy.

"If you ever lay your fingers on her again I swear to god I will find out and come for you. I have friends you know, friends around here that know all about you, I'll have them watching your every move," Christian snarled, Ana knew this was an empty threat but Jack's face went white as a sheet and he was shaking. He always was a wet blanket when it came to confrontation from other men.

"I won't... I won't touch her," Ana looked at the scene before her in fear. This would be the last night Christian was here. Jack was going to kill her for this. As soon as he'd left, Jack would continue his usual behaviour and she'd be all alone to deal with it until her Captain returned.

"I think we should all go to sleep," Christian said. "Are you ok Ana?" he asked concerned.

"I'm ok thank you Christian,"

"I'm glad, I'll see you in the morning," Ana nodded. Jack stood in front of her. She wanted to follow Christian to his bed and curl herself in his arms. She wanted him to kiss every inch of her skin, worship her on their last night together as she worshipped him.

"I won't touch you, I swear, let's just go to bed," Ana raised her eyesbrows at his words but didn't say anything. She didn't have a choice. She climbed into bed, as far away from him as possible and went into a fitful sleep, heartbroken that tomorrow, she would lose the man she loved.


AN - What did you guys think?
