A/N: Thanks for the awesome reviews! I'm glad so many of you like what is spilling out of my head. I hope you like this chapter.
Today turned out to be rather good. Just another family day. Christian insisted that we stay inside or around the grounds. I wouldn't blame him, but everyone fussing over me was getting a little over the top. I love my family, I do, but today I have wanted to strangle all of them. Everyone was asking 'are you ok, Ana?', 'do you need anything, Ana?'. Ana this. Ana that. I was never left on my own. So I decided to say to Kate and Mia that I was heading to the toilet but instead I managed to escape to the Boat House. The sound of the water is calming me down from my rising anger. I have left my Blackberry in the house knowing everyone will try to call it to find me. I know Christian will be pissed off but I need space. Dr. Greene suggested that if I feel stressed I should walk away to a secluded area. The Boat House couldn't be any more peaceful. The lights are dim and just over the horizon the sun is setting. The view is so relaxing that I find myself just staring at it, sitting here on the back deck with my feet hanging over the edge and in the water. I'm sure Christian will put a Boat House down the water at our new house. As I start to think about the new house I can hear my name being called across the grounds.
"ANA!" Kate yells
"ANA!" Grace follows suit
"ANNNNNAAAA!" as does Mia
"ANA! GET OUT HERE NOW OR SO HELP ME!" and there we have my loving husband.
I let out a sigh of disappointment. It was fun while it lasted but I must let them know I am ok. And if I don't Christian will have his wicked way with me. Just the thought makes me wet and giggle. The shouting starts to sound closer.
"ANA!" Christian yells with a snap. I hear the door to the Boat House slam open. "ANA! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" I hear him stomping around. "FUCK!"
"I'm down here!" I yell. I hear him now running to my location
"Fuck! Ana! I thought something happened to you! What are you doing out here?" he asks, sitting next to me but with his legs crossed.
"I just needed to get away. Dr. Greene did recommend it." I sternly say, pointing out something he should have been aware of.
"Yes, I know. But tell me next time." His eyes show his worry. So I lean against his shoulder.
"Sorry, Christian." I say, and he wraps his arm around me.
"It's ok. I might punish you later."
"You wouldn't?!" I ask. Would he really? Here? He looks down at me and smirks, but his eyes say 'You know I would'.
"So. Why out here?"
"It's peaceful. And the sunset is beautiful."
"Right you are." He kisses the top of my head. "Down here!" he yells. I didn't hear anyone shouting.
"Thank god! Ana! I should slap you for making us worry so much!" Mia screams.
"Ok. Ok. Sorry!" I reply. Mia slumps herself down next to me. I can tell Christian is ignoring her, but now I can't as she has pulled me away from him to her. Now she has her arm around me. What is with everyone hugging me lately? Christian looks down at us and is disappointed. His little sister just ruined an intimate moment that involved no sex. Heck! Even I'm annoyed. I must think of something. Think Ana! Think!
"Um..Mia? Could you make me your famous fruit salad with fresh whipped cream and chocolate sauce?" I ask. I hope this works. She's been making me all kinds of sweet things.
"Sure! I'll go make it now." And with that she's gone.
"Thank you." Christian murmurs, kissing my cheek.
"No need to thank me. I fancy something sweet and I knew she would do anything for me."
"Ha ha, so very true. So how much time do you think we have?"
"I'd say half an hour. I ate all the cream she made earlier." I grin with guilt. But that cream was so nice.
"It did look delicious."
"It was. It was so good I didn't want to share it." I smile wildly at him. He looks down at me, lifts my chin and kisses my lips softly.
"I bet it would have tasted better off of you." He seductively whispers. I pull him to me and kiss him deeply. I bring my legs out of the water and onto the deck. I lay back pulling him down with me, not breaking contact.
"Mrs Grey? You want me to take you here? Now?"
"Yes." I breathe out. I need him. I want his hands on me, all over. "I need you."
"And have me you shall." He leans down and kisses me. His lips moving from mine, down my jaw line to my neck. His hands making quick work of my shirt. My hands undoing his. Our mouths savaging each other. Clinging on for dear life. His hands move over my body. Following the curves along the side of my body. He pulls from the kiss and looks deep into my eyes. His hands moving to my breasts, cupping them in both hands. My legs clinging around his waist.
"So beautiful." He compliments, making me blush. I arch my back to his touch. "So glad you're wearing a skirt. This will have to be quick" he says. I nod. Breathless from our kiss. He leans back on his heels and starts to undo his jeans and boxers. His erection springing free. He makes quick work of my panties. He pulls me up so I kneel astride him and he aligns me above him. Slowly he sinks into me. I pull in a lungful of air, adjusting to him. He plants tender kisses along my neck and shoulders. My head tilted back.
"Oh, Mrs Grey. Always ready."
"For you. Always." I cup his face in my hands and kiss him deeply. He snakes his arms around my waist. Pressing me to him by the small of my back. He lays me back down, never breaking contact. My legs automatically tighten around his waist. One of his hands caressing my thigh and the other in my hair. He starts a slow, loving rhythm. Deep and hard. I let out a moan, for him to only take it all in.
"Shhh. Don't want to be disturbed again." He smirks, and continues to kiss me. I moan out every breath and pleasure pulsing through me. He quickens his pace. Building. He breaks our kiss and his breathing is hot and harsh against my neck.
"Christian!" I whisper my moan.
"Come for me, Ana." He murmurs. And on queue I do. We release together. How does he know when I am about to orgasm? He collapses on top of me. His forehead against mine. Our breathing in sync.
"Wow." He says.
"Wow." I copy. He pulls out of me slowly, making me feel every each inch of him.
"We best sort ourselves out." He chuckles. We quickly redress ourselves just in time. Mia comes barrelling in carrying a large bowl of fruit with cream and chocolate on top.
"Oh Mia! That looks wonderful!" I say with such glee. My face all full of a large blush. Christian notices and smiles with me.
"What have you two been doing?" Mia asks, giving us a curious look.
"Oh nothing." Christian chimes.
"Ok...well. Mom wants you two in the house before it gets cold."
"Will do, Mia." Christian continues for me. My mouth full of whipped cream and strawberries. This is delicious!
"Wow, Mia! This is great!" I mumble through some cream.
"Ha ha. Thanks Ana! I'll see you two inside." She says and wonders off.
"How can you fit so much in your mouth?!" Christian asks, looking shocked at the spoonful of fruit and cream. I raise an eyebrow giving him a look saying 'I can fit you in my mouth' along with a smirk.
"Good point, Mrs Grey." He's reading my mind again. "Come on. We better get inside. Don't want you getting ill."
"Oh there you two are!" Grace calls, as Christian and I walk back into the house hand in hand.
"Hi mom. We're just going to head off to bed."
"Of course. Ana let me take that bowl from you."
"Thank you, Grace." I hand her the bowl.
"Baby, you head up to bed. I'll join you in a minute. Just going to talk to my mom for a moment." Christian says, saying it clearly enough for Grace to catch on.
"Ok. Good night, Grace." I say then quickly kiss Christian on the cheek.
"Night, Ana. See you in the morning."
I make my way through the hall and up the stairs to the third floor. For a moment I was kind of happy that Christian let me go up on my own after everything. Boy was I wrong!
"Hello, Taylor." I say, with disappointment. I can sense him a mile away now, just like I do when it's Christian.
"Mrs Grey."
"Ana!" I correct him. "Call me Ana. Please. Just because I married Christian doesn't mean you can't call me by my first name."
"Sorry, Ana. Force of habit I guess.." He shrugs.
"Let me guess. Christian told you to watch me walk up the stairs?" I say, finally making my way to the second floor and now approaching the third set of stairs.
"He's only looking out for you."
"I know. But I'm in the house. I'm not going anywhere, and nothing bad will happen...OW!" And just with my luck on saying that I miss the next step and fall flat on my front.
"Ana! You ok?" Taylor helps me back to my feet. And not a moment too soon is Christian and Grace running up the stairs.
"Baby! What happened?"
"I just missed a step. I'm fine!" I snap. "Sorry." I look up at him and give them a soft smile. Christian turns to Taylor and Grace and nods at them bidding them a good night.
"Come on. Bed." He says, helping me to my feet by my arms.
"Christian, I'm fine. I can walk on my own." What is with me? Any bad little thing that happens to me I get so emotional over! Gah! This is so annoying! I walk off into the bedroom and go sit on my side of the bed. Falling my head into my hands and just let the tears fall.
"Ana? What's wrong?" he asks, now on his knees in front of me. He cups my head out of my hands and looks into my eyes.
"I don't know!" I murmur through my tears and sniffles. "It's these damn pregnancy hormones kicking in!" I giggle, whipping my tears away.
"I hope you're not going to be this emotional all the time. I rather prefer horny Mrs grey." He sniggers.
"Ha. Ha.. I'm just going to wash my face." I say. He leans up and kisses my now soft lips.
"You are so beautiful, Ana. And your lips are so soft when you cry." He gives me a reassuring smile.
It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep. I'm tossing and turning. I did drift off in Christian's arms earlier but I just woke up thanks to the nightmare I thought I had gotten over. But now it's worse. Christian is fast asleep, so I carefully get out of bed and head to the bathroom to relieve myself. The cold floor tiles feel so nice on my feet. I wash my hands then stare at my reflection in the mirror. I turn to my side and caress my stomach.
"How are you, Blip?"
"I'm fine mommy, but you should be asleep." Christian says behind me, making me jump.
"God! You made me jump!"
"Sorry, baby." He strolls forward towards me and wraps his arms around me. His hands over mine while he rests his head on my shoulder. "Can't sleep?"
"No. Did I wake you?"
"Only by not being there."
"Sorry."
"Don't worry about it." He kisses my neck. "What's bothering you?"
"Nothing. Just a nightmare."
"Same one? But you haven't had one for a while."
"I know. Might be because of everything that's happened. What did you talk to your mom about?"
"I was just asking her if we could stay a while longer." He says but I can feel him tense up.
"Christian. What are you not telling me?"
"Nothing." He replies. I turn in his hold and I place my hands on his chest.
"Christian Grey. You are not telling me something. What has happened?" I ask him sternly. He lets out a sigh of defeat. He knows I won't drop the topic.
"Fine. Someone tried to break into the apartment."
"What?!"
"Don't worry about it, baby. Taylor as sorted it out and Welch is looking at CCTV. Gail is still away at her sister's." He explains. I lean my head into his chest. Why can't we live a normal life? I let the threatening tears fall. Someone is going to get seriously hurt because of me.
"Hey. Stop crying. The only way we're going to get through this is when we finally stop Elena."
"How do you know it's her?"
"Come to bed and I'll tell you."
"Ok."
We walk back to the bedroom hand in hand. He climbs onto the bed and opens his arms to me and I don't hesitate. We snuggle into each other's arms and he pulls the cover over us.
"Right. Welch has been watching Elena. Tracking her calls and where she drives to. A lot of the time she has been contacting Issac and an unknown number. Welch is trying to find out whose number it is with Barney's help. They've been on it for only a few hours since what happened the other night. Then when I sent Ryan to get us some things the attackers must have thought we were going back home, and tried getting in. They didn't manage it because Taylor has insisted that all codes to be changed regularly. He's even got new locks for all the doors that can't be picked. If attempted it will set an alarm off, which they did."
"When did you find all this out?"
"Earlier on when you were in the Boat house."
"There's something else isn't there?"
"Yeah. I'm being constantly sent letters but they are all now being forwarded to Welch."
"What do they say?"
"They all say the same thing as the first one did. They know I won't leave you so they are after.."
"Me." I finish his sentence. I snuggle into him more. I'm now starting to fear for my own life and everyone around me.
"Hey. You. Are. Safe. Taylor has hired more security. CCTV has been installed around the grounds here and the new house. We finally got access to the cameras back at Escala so we have eyes everywhere."
"I'm more worried about everyone else. Especially you."
"Don't be."
"I can't help it. If something were to happen to you..." here come the tears again. Christian pushes me down onto my back and he hovers over me.
"Stop! Nothing bad will happen. Stop thinking like that, Ana. I spend my life protecting you and our Blip. You are my universe. My lifeline. I am not going anywhere and neither are you." He kisses me deeply, as if what he's saying is a declared promise to me.
"I love you so much." I say cupping his face. I move my hands curling into his hair.
"And I you, Ana. I think we best get some sleep. Tomorrow I am taking you out."
"Really?" I am over the moon. Finally I leave the house.
"Yes. But it's a surprise. Something for the whole family, if that's ok?"
"Of course. Just as long as I have a place to escape from it all if it gets too much with everyone over caring."
"Oh you will. Don't worry about that. Everyone is over caring because they love you, Ana. Just as I do. But I show my love in many ways..." he says that last part so sexy. "No."
"What?"
"Your eyes lit up then. No. Sleep, Mrs Grey. Or I shall put you over my knee."
"Ok, Mr Grey."
We snuggle back under the covers, wrapped in each other's hold. Basking in each other's warmth.
"I love you, so much, Ana." He kisses the top of my head.
"And I you. More than you will ever know." I slowly fall into a sweet pleasant sleep.
A/N: Sorry this one isn't very long. I want to put up a chapter every day before it gets close to midnight. I hope you liked it. Reviews much loved!
