Christian
Its been four long and grueling days since my date with pixie and im ready to get my ass home.
Shortly after dropping Ana off at her car Ros called me informing me that one of us needed to take a trip to Africa to deal with the fuck ups in our food shipments. Apparently some government officials palms need greasing. And by one of us she sure as shit didn't mean her, I guess im your huckleberry damnit.
Well Gwen IS pregnant you dick! She can't exactly leave her wife to fly off to Africa duirng the beginning of her 9 month.
Fuck I know! But being without seeing Ana has been shit. Sure we talked on the phone and text alot but I need to see her face.
You could have asked for pictures, or skpe... preferably naked!
Jesus man! We arnt even officially "together" and we have only kissed. Can't exactly ask for that shit yet now can I?
Well you COULD, just don't know how it would go down.
Like a wet fart in church that's how!
That was so funny when it happened to Lelliot!
Ha! Fuck yes it was!
"Taylor, when the fuck do we fly out?"
"10 am sir." he states efficiently. All business that one.
"Good. I need to get my ass home."
He smiles. "Me too sir, me too" Ah yes im sure he's more than ready to see Gail.
Taylor and my housekeeper Gail have been together since before I hired them. They have a 19 year old daughter together, Sophie. Shes a freshman in college and a real sweet kid, very smart. I paid for her last few years of private school and now her tuition at Harvard. She has impressed her professors and me. I have already gotten several phone calls from my old professors raving about her. She's majoring in biological sciences and wants to become a game warden in places around the world that have endangered species. Sophie wants to prevent endangered animals from going extinct ao they will be around for future generations. She's a girl after my own heart, and Taylors.
Its 9 am now so we leave in just 1 hour, its a 27 hour flight so ill be back in Seattle by saturday afternoon. Then im off to see my pixie. And I have a very important question to ask her, and I plan om suprising her.
C: Im getting out of here! Take off is at 1pm. That puts me home Saturday evening.
A: Great! The office is so quiet without you, its very strange! Ros and I'm sure many others will be glad to have you back ; )
C: Will you be one of those?
A: Maybe...
C: I have something important to ask you when I get back. Dinner at my place? The jet lag will be ferocious and I'd hate to cause a "man tantrum" from being tired in a fancy restaurant!
A: Oh? What is it? And im sure no one wants that! Dinner at your place is fine. I can bring dinner. I make a killer lasagna according to Ray and Avery.
C: Sounds perfect. And you'll just have to wait to find out.
A: Such a tease!
C: You haven't seen a thing yet baby ; )
A: You sure are living up to that nickname of yours!
C: Grr. Are you ever going to tell me?
A: Maybe after your question...
C: Who's the tease now?
A: Hmm. Still you I think! Have a safe flight and let me know when you land. Be safe Christian.
C: Anything for you Pixie.
Man that girl does things to me even over text messages!
Ana
I swear that man makes me swoon even over the phone. I'm dying to know what his question is! As I sit smiling at my desk sifting through the mound of paperwork the she witch comes barging into my office AGAIN!
"Your all perky and smiles sitting around relaxing on your phone, some of us are actually working today Ana." This fucking bitch. Since Christian put her ass into place then jetted out of town she's been a raging cunt.
"Do you know how to knock Christine! And I was responding to a message from our BOSS not sitting around wasting the day away." She grimaces clearly upset Christian is the one making me smile.
"Oh please, Christian isnt the reason you have that goofy grin on your face. That's an "I'm in love" smile and that smile definitely isnt over The Christian Grey, its probably your nerdy boyfriend!" Love? Definitely not we just met! But it is the Christian Grey bitch McGee!
"Did you actually need something? Im busy." So get the fuck out.
"Whatever. Here is the statement for Ros to give about the donation of funds to the WSU scholarship. She needs it for tomorrow night." Tomorrow fucking night? The bitch actually fucking smirks!
"And your just NOW giving it to me?" I yell at her.
"Well, if your Soooo good it shouldn't be a problem huh Ana?" Im going to go ninja on her ass if she doesn't get out Right. The. Fuck. Now.
"Ill get it done. Because I am that good. Oh and Christine?"
"Yeah" She says sarcastically.
"3 things.
1. Don't fucking barge in my office.
2. Turn your shit in on time or Ill make damn sure you get your ass handed to yoi for it.
3. You don't know a fucking thing about me. So don't make ill informed judgements or inferences about any part of my life.
Got it?" She has the good sense to look a little afraid but tries to mask it. Little witch huffs and turns to stomp out as Ros steps out from her apparent hiding spot behind the door.
Damn she just heard you go off on the trollop. On your first week here too...
Fuck. Me.
"And ill be the one handing it to you Christine. You work has been shit lately and the lawsuit you helped to cause put you on thin ice. Watch yourself. I can guarantee if Grey had heard this conversation you would be out on your ass." Ros says getting right in her face.
Little witch nods fervently with a yes ma'am and runs away.
Ros and I stare at eachother for about 5 seconds before bursting out laughing.
Thank god.
"My god Ana you've got balls. I was about to rip the little witch a new one until I heard you sticking it to her. Im damn proud, and on your first week too!" Ros praises and I smile widely at her.
"Thats what I call her too" What a quinkedink!
"We are kindred souls Ana! You were definitely the right woman for the job, your work has been outstanding! Plus, I know you can hold your own and bring out a new side to our cranky megalomaniac." She winks and on cue I blush.
"I don't know what you mean." I say quietly.
"Come on Ana. Anyone who has been in a room with the two of you can see it. Why do you think the little witch has it out for you? She's oozing jealousy. Plus Christian was beside himself having to go on this trip when usually he doesn't give a rat's ass. The only change here is your presence." Wow really?
"Oh." I don't know what else to say I'm so stunned.
"Yes OH! Keep up whatever your doing Ana. That man is a machine and for the first time since I've known him he's actually been acting human!"
"Wow. I hope your right Ros I really do.
Fingers AND toes crossed. I want to see that man naked!
Your such a slut.
You bet your ass. Im Adonis's slut!
Christian
We land at seatac and im busting at the seams to get ready for my suprise for pixie so I can ask her to be my girlfriend. Ive never had one begore so im nervous as fuck!
You and me both. So don't fuck this up!
Thanks for the confidence boost fucker.
No problem.
"Everything set for the suprise Taylor"
"Yes sir, Gail has the apartment just how you asked and Ana's new covert picked up the necklace you had made at Cartier. Its in your safe now." Perfect.
"He is already with her?" Ros informed me she was having some trouble with that bitch Christine so I figured I would put Luke Sawyer on her sooner rather than later. Once our relationship becomes public knowledge shes going to need a CPO.
"As of this morning before we boarded the flight he was en route sir." The captain tells us we can unbuckle and turn our electronics back on. Taylor and I book it to the SUV where Reynolds is loading our shit. He looks nervous. Why?
"Mr. Grey, Taylor." He nods. Reynolds had been with us for over a year now and hes NEVER looked nervous.
" A minute Taylor?" Reynolds asks.
Um fuck no.
"Why don't you tell us both Reynolds." Hes actually fidgeting! What the hell?
"Umm ok sir. Have you turned your phones on and taken a look at your missed messages yet?" Really? I just got off the damn plane!
"No. We just fucking landed. Spit it out!" Taylor shouts.
"Just take a look Boss."
I see Taylor and I both got the same messages. What the fuck are the chances of this shit?
Upon opening my text messages the first thing I see is my pixie as a young girl with 2 young boys and an older man im assuming is her father. The next is of her with 3 of the biggest mother fuckers ive EVER seen, and she looks so damn tiny next to them. It looks like they recreated the picture as they are all im the same pose. They all have huge smiles plastered on their faces. One is an older guy, obviously her dad, With his arm resting on her head since shes so short. Another is Avery to her right with his arm around her shoulders and the 3rd is a good looking fucker with his arm around pixies waist!
"What the fuck is this!" I bellow.
"Keep scrolling up sir." Reynolds grimaces.
The first text was this morning shortly after take off when Sawyer would have been getting to Ana.
A: You probably should warn people bedore placing a covert on them Mr. Grey.
Oh fuck is she pissed? I didnt have time to tell her.
A: Oh and you should definitely do more research on past relationships of CPOs and their charges to avoid connections.
Past relationships! What the fuck?
"TAYLOR! Did Sawyers background check list past relationships? Only intimate ones sir."
"Dont fuck with me Taylor was Ana one of them?" He scoffs, very un Taylor like.
"No sir. And if it had I wouldn't have hired him to watch her."
"Any known connections between Ana and his checks?"
"There checks are typical employment checks sir. Welch is digging further into the in depth one you wanted on Ana. With her fathers military background I speculate he made her information difficult to obtain sir." Fuck.
"Continue reading sir." Reynolds pipes up.
S: To Me and Taylor: Sir, Taylor. I am going to have to stand down on the covert position. I will await further instructions on my employment position amd assignment detail in light of the recent developments. I will not abandon the post until receiving further instruction from one or both of you since you are both in the air and unable to respond.
S: To me and Taylor: Ms. Steele's father was best friends with mine before he passed as they were in the same unit. Avery, Ana, and I grew up together. They are like family to me. She was unaware of my relocation to Seattle for this position as it was meant as a suprise. We had not gotten the opportunity to discuss her new job yet and the contact details of the covert read Anastasia Steel. No "E" at the end which im assuming was a typo. No one calls her Anastasia. Its mainly Annie, Ana, or a nickname of sorts. Due to back to back deployments we have not seen eachother face to face in some time. So the description didn't clue me in, though it should have. I aplogize.
Well shit this is a cluster fuck. With all the little things added together its no wonder he didnt know until he got there that he knew her.
A: When you land, come see me. Address: 213 pike market place Apt 7. We are waiting. I know your getting in earlier than you said. Sorry for ruining the suprise, Luke didnt say anything except for ETA, which was by mistake as he assumed I knew. Dont worry, he didnt say anything else. Even though I DID twist his arm for information ; )
"To that address sir?" Taylor says pulling out of the airport.
I sigh. "Yes." Off to the gallows.
Lets get this shit over with.
Yes, indeed!
Ana
"Daddy!" I scream when I see my daddy waiting for me at my apartment.
"Hey there Annie!" He says as he opens his arms. I run and jump into them. He hugs me tight and twirls me around.
"Hey what about me Ana Banana?" Avery Pouts.
"Oh come here you big baby." I hug him before slugging him in the arm.
"Ouch thay hurt Ans!" I giggle at him.
"Pussy"
"You'll pay for that little girl." I have no doubt.
I stick my tongue out at him.
"Alright children, lets go inside" Daddy says.
I notice a black SUV pull up that looks suspiciously like one of Christians fleet. Avery notices too. Daddy taught us to be very observant.
"I thought he wasn't supposed to be back until tonight Ans?"
"Who?" Daddy says.
Oh shit.
"Oh banana you haven't told him?" Avery taunts.
"Fuck you Avery" traitorous bastard.
"Told me what Annie?" Daddy says calmly. Too calm.
"You already know?!?!" Damnit.
He lets out a big belly laugh. "Come on Annie. You know I have to watch out for my baby girl!"
"Who is it?" I ask him wanting to know what covert he has on me.
"New guy, someone you wouldnt recognize." Well shit.
"He must be very new, I haven't noticed any patterns." I say perplexed. Am I losing my edge since ive been so wrapped up in Christian?
"Well you HAVE been side tracked. But this ones only been with you a week. Since the club incident I mighy add." He says with a low growl. I blush instantly.
"Well shit." I say under my breath.
"Shit is right. Thats why I'm here to meet the beau when he arrives." Oh no no no.
"Nothings official daddy. Its to new. Please not yet." I whine like the little girl I am with him.
"Hes your boss and the two of you are moving pretty quick little girl. Its happening." Well shit on a stick!
I groan out loud. " Fine, lets go see which goon is in the SUV shall we?"
Before we get the chance to cross the street none other than Luke Sawyer bounds out of the SUV after barely having a chance to stop.
I squeal and run over to him leaping in his arms to squeeze the life out of him. We both laugh. Its been WAY to long.
With him being on damn near back to backback deployments and stationed in California at camp Pendleton and me being in college we haven't seen eachother in years!
We all go into my apartment and have a good laugh at the circumstances.
"What rookies didnt catch the connections? I mean damn you guys grew up together. And a fucking Typo! Is this amateur hour?" Daddy growls.
"It was last minute sir. Taylor has known me for a while. He's a good man and has been trying to recruit me for a while. I wasnt supposed to come on for another week or so but apparently Annie was having issues at work with some chick and Grey didn't like it with him being out of town and all" Luke states.
"He's a little intense about you already banana." Luke says a little worried. Avery nods amd daddy scoffs. I can tell he's a little uncomfortable.
He mumbles "All that money you think he could do a better rush job on security for someone SOOOO important to him."
Ooohh Daddy doesn't like this.
I got this.
"Welp. Apparently im getting rusty since I didnt clock my new tail from daddy dearest. Who's up for a sparing match in the gym?" All the guys smile widely nodding in agreement.
"Yeah we got time. Grey has another couple hours in the air." Couple hours?
"Whats the ETA again Lukey?" Like I would forget.
"1500 hours" Wtf.
"Ah shit. It was meant to be a suprise. I still can't wrap my head around that I was assigned to ne YOUR covert out of everyone in Seattle. Im not saying shit else Banana." will see.
"Lets test that shall we Lukey?" He groans.
"First man up, first man down. Better you than me man." Avery teases.
"Ill go change and we can go down to the gym here, its a pretty good set up. Daddy call your man in too. Might as well since we are all together and his cover is blown. Lukey text your BOSS and aprise him on the situation. Avery has lots of stuff in the spare room, just grab what yall need."
I send a few texts to Mr. Grey myself. Silly man.
Isnt it sweer though? He was worried about you.
He still should have mentioned it. Or maybe that was his question and he ended up having to put it in place sooner because of the little witch? Either way I can still mess with him a bit.
I get my gym gear on, grab my sparing kit, and set two large pans of my lasagna on slow bake so it will be ready by the time we all get back.
Christian
I pull up to the apartment and im nervous as fuck.
You should be. She said "we will be waiting for you" You better pray her father isnt still here.
Shit I didnt think of that! Now im really nervous. Good thing I showered and dressed in my dark jeans, form fitted black v-neck, and leather jacket. I wanted pixie hot and bothered so she wouldn't be too angry at me. It will be good not to be in a auit meeting her dad. My 5,000 baroni might make me look too presumptuous.
"Sir, I informed Sawyer of our arrival. He said they are in the gym downstairs with her brother, father, and the covert her dad has on her." Shit he has a covert on her too? Is she in danger?
"Alright, lets face the music."
We head into the gym and I was NOT prepared for the scene in front of me. At. Fucking. All.
Avery is seated on a bench next to Anas father and who I assume is the covert he has on her. Avery notices me and gives me a signal to stand back and not interrupt the scene taking place. Anas dad who noticed me first is glaring at me. I gulp hard and stay just out of line of sight but still able to watch the beat down occuring in front of me. My dick is ramrod hard watching it.
"Don't let up Ana, your not covering your six!" Ray shouts.
Ana reacts immediately taking poor luke down with a brutal spin side kick to the ribs. She's dressed in tiny spandex shorts and a very fitted cropped tank top showing at least 5 inches of her 4 pack abs. Shes extreamly fit and toned. I dont dare attempt to adjust myself as im sure her father will notice.
Shes sex on a stick! And a complete bad ass!
Your SOOO not helping.
Sawyer is no slouch but Ana is taking him to church. Hes landimg some damn good hits to her core and I almost come unglued when he punches her in the ribs and swipes her feet out from under her. I begin to charge towards her when tayor grabs me by the shoulders. I see her dad smirk and Avery chuckle and shake his head.
"Rookie mistake Lukey, its been too long man!" But the warning is too late as Luke is moving to get ontop of her to initiate a submission hold for tap out she does this crazy pop up move from flat on her damn back while spinning around to land a roundhouse on Lukes thigh. She goes for the kill and never lets up which is amazing considering the hit she just took should have knocked her clean out. I can already see a bruise beginning to form on her ribs. After the roundhouse she completes her full spin coming back to bring her elbow into his windpipe. And im not sure how she did it because shes really fucking short and hes a giant! Somehow she ends up behind him and takes his knees out bringing him down. She puts her knee in his back while simultaneously pulling his arms backwards and hes done. No one can get out of the pretzle shit she has his ass twisted into.
I don't know whether to be appalled or kneel at her feet.
Luke taps out. Bless him. And Ana pops up fresh as a damn daisy with a sexy as fuck layer of sweat covering her incredible body.
"Rusty my ass Banana! You fucking conned me itty bitty!" He laughs good naturedly. He just got his ass beat and has angry red bruises popping up but hes fucking laughing.
Ana is 5 feet tall and MAYBE 110lbs! Im embarrassed for him!
"Don't judge sir. With the skill I just saw she could take down damn near every special forces officer ive ever met. Including me." well thats telling.
"Well fuck me." he laughs but covers it with a cough.
"Christian!" Ana runs over and leaps into my arms. "I missed you!" She whispers in my ear. I close my eyes and hold her tight while counting back from 100. I haven't seen her in 4 fucking days, she smells like sweat and Ana, is wearing next to nothing and i cannot control my hard on beause that was fucking hot and ive never seen her in so little clothing.
"Ive missed you too Pixie. You have no idea." You really don't. I feel like im home with her in my arms but its way too soon to tell her that. I open my eyes to find hers staring back at me and I want to devour her! I squeeze her just a little tighter and kiss her lightly on the forhead. If my lips touch hers it will be over and her father will get a show and hate me forever.
Pixie has other ideas however and plants a searing kiss on my lips.
Im dead.
Fuck me too. It takes every ounce of control I have to put her down and step back.
"Come over here and meet my daddy." She says.
Oh God pixie please no. I need a minute. But she doesnt notice and pulls me front and center to her father. Me and my raging boner that was just touching his daughter's delectable ass.
"Christian you remember Avery, and im sure you know of Luke Sawyer as hes on your payroll." She gives me the side eye. "And this is Eric Johns, the covert my dad put on me since I move "too far away from him."" She says using air quotes.
"And this is my Dad Ray Steele. Daddy this is Christian Grey." She says both our names proudly. I can't help but match her smile and grin down at her.
"Avery, Sawyer, Mr. Johns." I greet them all and extend my hand to Ray. "Its nice to meet you sir." He grabs my hand so hard I swear its going to break and I want to yank it back. But I can control my reactions so I dont show how much it hurts. But I cant control my fear when he glances down at my raging hard on and looks back up with fire in his eyes.
"Grey" is all he says.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck is right.
