All Mistakes are mine- UN beta'd
The dark days are now lighter
Saturday June 4th 2011
This was the day that Ana left me, my first go around. I keep staring at her, thinking she's going to disappear any minute.
I took her in the playroom so we could have a look around. We talked for hours about things that she would be willing to try and things that were a definite hell no.
We're going to repaint it and I'm thinking the same color as her eyes. I'm going to buy a new bed, and maybe burn the one in there now to exorcist some of the ghost on the room.
I'm thinking of also buying new equipment as well, a total redo. She let me show her what it would be like suspended from the grid and the St. Andrews cross. We got so hot and bothered that we needed each other, badly.
I carried her back to my room. There was no way I was having sex with her in that room till it was redone. Ana let me try out the crop and the flogger on her in my bed, then afterwards we made love so many times, I lost count.
As night falls, Ana is standing at the mirror looking down at the dress that I had sent over for tonight's Gala. We never did get around to go shopping.
Ana is wearing a pale pink sleeveless v cut floor length dress. I sent over a hairdresser, not from Esclava, to do Ana's hair. It falls down her shoulders and back in waves.
She's simply stunning and I can't stop looking at her. She's still here.
She's still mine.
Ana then notices me in the reflection of the mirror and turns to look at me.
"You know, you've been looking at me today; like I'm going to disappear." She says as she walks over to me.
"It's just hard to believe you're mine sometimes. You look gorgeous, baby. I'm going to have to beat them off with a stick tonight."
She blushes as she looks away from me. Still not believing how beautiful I think she is. I lift her chin to look at me.
"You are the most amazing, sexiest, smartest, bravest woman I have ever met. You beguile me at every corner. I love you." I tell her, to remind her of how I feel. I bend down and kiss her like crazy.
"I love you too." she pants once I break away from our kiss.
"I guess I should also mention my parents are throwing a summer party next Saturday. So, will you be my date to that as well?"
"I guess I'll have to start getting used to all these fancy affairs, won't I?"
"There not all the time, but yes, I like having you on my arm." I kiss her nose.
"Like an accessory?" She smirks.
"I like showing you off. But speaking of accessories, I got you something." Out of my pocket I pull out the jewelry box I bought in Georgia. "These are for you."
"Christian... you didn't…" She says as she takes the box and opens it. "They're beautiful. Thank you." She steps on her tippy toes and kisses me.
I help her put the earrings in her ear and we then leave to go to the Gala.
I loved the fact that I could introduce Anastasia as my girlfriend. To say most were in shock of me showing up with a girl. Shit, a date even.
The event is stuffy and quite boring at best. We're sitting at the table having dinner with Hank Wildly and his wife Amber. Hank is about sixty years old and Amber is about 35 years his junior, who hasn't stopped making eyes at me all night. Hank is a nice guy, I have worked with him for a couple of years with his telecommunications plant.
"So, Ana. What is that you do?" Amber asks with her nose in the air .
"I'm starting my first day at SIP on Monday. Assistant to an Editor." Ana states proudly.
"Really? And how did you catch this one's eyes?" She purrs looking at me. Hank has now long gone to the bar.
"How did she not catch my eye. She's gorgeous, sensational." I smile down at Ana. "The second I saw her, I knew I had to make her mine." I say the whole time, my eyes never leaving Ana's.
Ana blushes at my words. I can tell by her eyes, I'm getting lucky tonight, and I'm already planning my exit.
"So, Amber what do you do?" Ana bites back.
"Hank doesn't think I should work." She says snubbing her nose in the air, like it' the greatest thing ever, and Ana is so below her.
"So, you sit around all day eating bon-bons? Or just go out and spend all your husband's money?" Ana fires back.
Amber huffs, before she stands up. "You might think you're all high and mighty, but it won't be long before he's throwing you to the curb, or you're doing the same thing I am, living it up as he cheats on you."
"She doesn't have to worry because that will never happen." She turns her head and walks away.
"Well, that was something..." Ana says turning to me. "Are these events always like this? Woman trying to get in your pants?"
"Yes and No. I tend to make more business transactions here then relationship ones. It's usually a stuffy suit trying to get into my wallet. Why don't you and I get out of here. I promise the next time we dress up it will be more worth it."
She wraps her arms around my neck, "Sounds good to me, and when we get home I have a couple of ideas of what I would like to do." She says before kissing me.
I don't even remember calling Taylor for the car, the drive, or even how we got into the penthouse because Ana and I are all hands and mouths the whole way back. Clothes are flying everywhere as we find our way to my bedroom.
I throw her on the bed and crawl on top of her, thrusting myself into her, and getting completely lost in each other.
Sunday June 5th 2011
I find Ana in our room, digging through her suitcase.
"Whatcha doing?"
"I totally forgot that I got you something when my mom and I went out Friday morning." She pulls a box out of her bag and hands it to me.
The glider.
"Thank you. I love it."
"I think it holds some special meaning for us." She blushes.
The first time I wanted more, and the first time I told her I loved her. Yeah, I say it's pretty special.
I lay the box and grab her to me. "Yes, It's very special." I slam my lips to hers and push her down on the bed to have my wicked way with her.
A few hours later, my phone pings. It's Sam my Head of PR. He sends me a link to an article in the Seattle Times. It's Ana and I at the Gala last night.
Christian Grey and girlfriend Anastasia Steele stepped out together making their official debut as a couple.
The couple has been spotted outside of Portland and Seattle recently. They were also spotted in Savannah GA on Thursday holding hands outside an airfield. A source said they were going gliding. Also, just last week Grey kissed his recent college grad girlfriend on stage of her graduation, where he was handing out diplomas.
We here at the times have to admit they make a good-looking couple.
I find Ana in the library reading so I can show her. There's one from the Nooz as well, thankfully it doesn't say anything negative like they usually like to write.
"Hey, baby." I kiss her hair before sitting next to her. "Your dad will have another article for his scrapbook," I tell her as I hand her my phone.
"Well, this should make work interesting tomorrow." She huffs handing back my phone.
"What do you mean?"
"Come on Christian. I'm dating Seattle's most eligible bachelor. People are going to talk, gossip." She shrugs. "I just feel like I might be walking into a firing squad of odd looks that's all."
"Forget them. Hopefully you work with a group of adults and not a bunch of teenagers."
"One could only hope." She giggles. "It's fine, plus at the end of the day I get to come home to you."
"That you do, and they are right you know. We do make a good-looking couple you know. Maybe I should have this framed." I tell her.
"Yes, and put it on your desk, so all those blonde women know you're mine." She smirks at me.
My baby is possessive and I like it.
"Trust me there's no doubt that everyone knows I'm yours."
Monday June 6th 2011
I'm sitting at the breakfast bar, reading the paper when Ana joins me in the room. I look over at her and she looks gorgeous in her black long sleeves shift dress. Her hair is curled and falling down around her face.
She sits down next to me and gives me a kiss on the cheek.
"Morning baby, you ready for your first day at work?"
"I'm nervous and excited."
"I know you'll do great." I tell her squeezing her hand.
"What would you like for breakfast, Miss. Steele?"
"Something light, my stomach is a bundle of nerves right now."
"Fresh fruit and yogurt?" Gail asks her.
"That would be wonderful, thank you."
"Remember Sawyer will be driving behind you today. And also, be standing outside. If you need to leave, please let him know. I have no idea if the media will be out or not today."
Gail serves Ana a bowl of fruit and a cup of yogurt. "Thank you, Gail. And yes, I remember my secret service following me today." She grins at me before dipping her spoon into her yogurt.
"You should be very thankful, I love that smart mouth of yours." I whisper in her ear before giving it a nip.
"Well, I love that you love it." She smiles at me, licking the yogurt off her spoon. Slowly. Making sure she cleans off every inch of it, while her eyes never leave mine.
My dick strains against the zipper. Who thought I could get turned on by a woman licking yogurt off her spoon?
"Are you trying to seduce me Miss. Steele?"
"I would never do such a thing, Mr. Grey." She scoffs, as she dips her spoon in her yogurt again and proceeds to lick her spoon again.
I stand up, taking the spoon away from her and slamming it on the table. My lips slam to hers, and I can taste the strawberry yogurt on her tongue. Her hand lunges into my hair, pulling it, as she moans against my lips.
I break away from her resting my head against her forehead, "If you keep doing that, I'll be happy to give you something else to lick. "
Her eyes grow wide, and are filled with desire and lust. She licks her lips and her eyes look down to my crotch. Her hands grab a hold of my buckle. She's about to undo it when I stop her.
"As much as I would love to have your lips around me, I would like to not have it done while there are other eyes in the room."
Ana blushes as she looks around her, remembering where she is.
"Tonight, baby." I kiss the top of her head. "Sawyer is here to follow you to work. Have a good day."
"You too, honey." She giggles as she grabs her purse and is out the door.

Subject wonderful surprise
From Anastasia Steele
Mr. Grey
Thank you for my flowers. They are absolutely stunning. They've already made a few of the girls jealous. Not sure if that's the best way to start a new job, but i'll suffer the consequences.
So far, my day is going well. Besides the flowers, nobody has really said anything to me at least about my crazy sexy boyfriend.
Well, expect, Mr. Hyde. When he learned I had a boyfriend, and that it was you, he came really strange. He kept asking if it was true I was really dating the Christian Grey. He mentioned our picture in the times from Sunday. I told him yes, he mumbled something before storming off.
I figured I let you know. Other than that, the day has been good.
See you tonight
Love you,
Ana x
Anastasia Steele
Assistant to Jack Hyde, Editor, SIP
I dial Welch's number he answers almost right away.
"Yes, Mr. Grey?"
"I need those reports on Jack Hyde and SIP as soon as possible."
"Yes sir, I was just able to get to them. Barney is working on it as well. As soon as I have it together, I'll send it to you."
"Thank you." I tell him before hanging up.
I then notice an email from my father.
To Christian Grey
Subject Findings
From Carrick Grey
Son,
The PI that I hired was able to find information on Elena. There's a very strong possibility that she is abusing another young boy. She was seen picking up a boy from high school last Wednesday. After some digging we found out the kid is only 15. We also have evidence of a Elena and the boy going into her house. We are in the middle of issuing a warrant out of her arrest. As you know she received the restraining order early Friday morning. Since then she hasn't come out of the house.
I have a feeling she will try to seek you out. She was never one to listen. I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to shows up at your office in the next couple of days. If she does, let her come in, see if you can get her to admit anything. Just have security close by when you do it. Anything to get her locked up for longer.
Talk to you soon
Dad
I don't know how I could've ever been so naive thinking I'm the only boy she was with. I guess in the back of my mind I had hoped I would have been because I thought I was special or even that she would subject anyone else like me.
For someone so bright, I'm not so bright in that crayon box called life.
I inform Taylor to keep an eye for Elena. If she does come in the building let her up, but stay close and have the cameras running.
I just want her gone.
But, I have this terrible gut feeling she's up to no good.
Tuesday June 7th 2011
I'm sitting at my desk, finally reading over the report Welch sent me on Jack Hyde and SIP. It seems SIP is ripe for the takeover, and as I glance at Hyde's history, I'll have to say, I'll be adding a publishing arm to my list of endeavors.
It seems Hyde's last six assistants only lasted a couple of months and were never retained by the company. On top of that Hyde has a long juvie record, however seemed to turn himself around with he went to Princeton.
Also, he too was born in Detroit.
I don't trust him and from what Ana was telling me last night, about how he reacted to my name, let's just say red flags went up everywhere.
I also told Welch and Barney I want a deeper look into Hyde. Check his computers, anything, something is pulling at my gut about Hyde and it isn't good.
I first call Ros, and let her know I want SIP and I need all major details on it as soon as possible. She talked to me like I was crazy for wanting to go into the publishing business. However, it might seem out of line for the company, we could also use it to benefit us as well.
I decide the second person I need to tell would be one Miss Steele.

Are you sure this lunch wouldn't have anything to do with continuing what we started this morning?
I would be happy to join you for lunch, I miss your handsome face as well.
Anastasia Steele
Equally in love Assistant to Jack Hype. SIP
At noon Ana enters my office. I really should make the woman wear a sack to work, she's too damn beautiful. I also hate knowing Hyde gets to see her like this, just knowing that he's more then likely harassing his assistants. Actually, if I'm truly honest any male seeing her like this, drives me crazy.
But it isn't a fight I would want to have with her. She should be able to wear whatever she wants.
She walks over to me and plants a kiss on me. "Hi."
"Hey, baby. How's working going today?"
"It's alright. I'm learning a lot, but Hyde just…" She's trying to shrug it off.
"He just what Ana?"
"Like I told you yesterday, he makes me uneasy. He stands to close to me, brushes up against me, and i'm not sure if it's on accident. He's also still asking me questions about you and gets kind of got ticked off when I won't answer them."
I see nothing but red, right now. I'm gripping the arms of my chair tightly, my knuckles turning white.
"Does this mean you're buying the company now?" She asks stoic
"Yes." It's all I say.
"Ok."
"Are you mad?"
"No, as long as you promise not to mess with my career. I mean most everyone knows were dating...I guess they'll think it anyways." She shrugs.
"Well, in the end it will end up saving your job."
"What do you mean?"
"SIP was one the cusp of bankruptcy. It needs to branch out. If someone doesn't take it on, it'll crash and burn."
"It's fine, Christian. I'm just glad you're telling me. But please know if you're stepping on my toes I'll be letting you know." She raises her eyebrow at me.
"I'll only be your bosses boss' boss...some of the company's practices need looked at. Starting with Hyde. There's something fishy there. The rest should make your job better, easier."
"Ok, I trust you, Christian." I can tell she's still unsure.
"Come here…" I wiggle my finger at her and then pat my lap. She gives me a bright smile before sitting on my lap.
I put my hand around her neck to pull her lips to mine. Her lips part to allow my tongue access.
God, I need her, now.
I move my left hand up her leg under her skirt, when the door flies open.
"What is the meaning of this?" A voice screeches through the room.
When we both look over its Elena in what appears to be a janitor outfit, waving around what is probably the restraining order.
Ana tries to move off my lap, but I hold her still.
"It's what it looks like Elena. I want you to stay away from Ana and I, along with my family. And right now, you're in violation of it."
"You can't do this to me Christian. I made you who you are. If it wasn't for me you would be some drug addict like your mother, maybe even in jail. Then as soon as this little tart comes into your life you forget everything I taught you."
"We might never know what would've happened to me. You never gave me a chance to be normal. I missed out on everything a teenager should have had because you manipulated me thinking the only way to have any control in my life was through BDSM. I might of grown out of it. I might have found the right help for me. We will never know, will we?"
"Please, it's this girl messing with your head. You were but nothing but a fucked up fifteen-year-old boy, your parents at a total loss with you. That's till I came around. You loved when I fucked you."
"Maybe, but the only thing you made me was more fucked up, I was your victim, your prey, and it seems like your taste in young boys hasn't changed." I snap.
Did I really just admit I was a victim?
Elena looks kind of shocked by my admission. She knows she's been caught. Her face pales slightly, before turning red in rage.
"You know nothing about Alex. I'm helping him just like I helped you." she spits out.
"Helped me huh? So, tell me, what did you say to Leila when she came to see you the other day?"
Elena snorts. "I knew that crazy bitch had it bad for you. I mean she was your longest contract. I found out her boyfriend dies and so I might have told her that you were ready for more, however there seem to be someone in her way." She grins almost proudly, seeming unaware she's helping burying herself. "I told her to raise your attention, helped her get into your apartment." Suddenly, her anger flares. "You were supposed to come after her, feel sorry for her, make her yours, and kick the other to the curb and we would all could have been together." She's seething. She's lost all control. Elena is no longer that Domme she was years ago. I'm all but slipped out of her hold and she's grasping for straws to get me back.
"This is all that stupid bitches fault." she points at Ana. "And there's only one thing left to do…" She's totally snapped. Her pupils have dilated and she has an evil wild grin on her face.
I have no idea what she is going to do, so i stand Ana up and move her behind me. She's holding onto me for dear life.
Elena pulls a gun out of her pocket in the coveralls and points it at Ana and I. Taylor and Ryan have snuck into the room, quietly. Elena is totally unaware.
Elena starts to walk forward, "Move, Christian! Let me take care of her and rid you of her lies."
Taylor is about to grab her, when Elena trips over nothing and the gun flies out of her hand. It somehow lands safety on the floor. Taylor is then able to get a hold of Elena and drag her out of the room.
"You'll pay for this!" Elena shouts as she's dragged out of the office but Taylor and Hall. I take Ana's hand and walk to the door. The whole police department seems to be on my floor.
An officer is cuffing Elena, as she tries to fight them.
I leave Ana's side and ask her to stay with Sawyer. I walk in front of what seems like a foaming at the mouth Elena.
"Christian, help me. You can't let them do this to me. I made you who you are. Don't you remember all the great times we had. I saved you from being like that crack whore of a mother." Elena is now pleading with me. Desperation isn't a good look on her.
I shake my head laughing. "You didn't save me at all. If anything, you fucked me up more. I never got to live, be a teenager, never got to know what love is. Now I have that and without any of your help. Enjoy jail, Elena. Thank you, officer you can take her away" I nod at the man and he takes her away yelling and screaming out my name.
"Well, that was an exciting lunch." Ana mumbles behind me. I spin around to look at her and see the fear in her eyes.
I immediately wrap her in my arms. "Baby, are you ok?" She nods her head in my chest. "I'm so sorry…" I tell her as I kiss the top of her head
"It's not your fault…" She says, looking up at me
"Isn't it though? I brought all this drama into your life because of my crazy past. You shouldn't have to deal with this."
I don't want her to leave me. I can't go through that again.
She gently puts her hand on my cheek.
"Yeah, you have a pretty crazy past, but you're trying everything to fix it. I love you, so I'm going to stand by you through it all. I'm not going anywhere. And I know that's what you're thinking right now."
I nod and she reaches up to kiss me. She knows me so well already.
"But, I do have to get back to work. I'll see you tonight?"
"You bet, I'll pick you up." I tell her. "I love you baby, more than you'll ever know." I give her one final kiss and walk her to the elevators.
Once she's gone I head back to my office. My cell rings as soon as I sit at my desk. It's my dad.
"Hey dad."
"Taylor called me and told me what happened. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine dad, I have the whole thing on video surveillance. She confessed almost everything."
"Great, this may be easier than we thought. I'm going to talk to the Detective on the case. They will have to talk to you son, and you're going to have to share what happened to you. I know it won't be easy…"
"I know, dad." I interrupt him "But it's fine. The quicker she is dealt with and locked away, the quicker I can go on with my life."
"I'm glad to hear that son, I just want you to know I'm proud of you. This can't be easy and i'm glad to see you getting out of your hold. Also, you might want to mention something to your brother and sister. I know your team will do whatever they can to keep your name out of the press, but they're going to want to support you to. They already have a feeling something is going on."
I sigh, not really knowing how to explain this to Elliot and Mia, mostly Mia.
"Maybe, I can meet Elliot and Mia tomorrow night."
"Alright, if you need anything let me know."
"I will dad, thank you. Let me know how your meeting goes."
We hang up and when I glance in front of me Ang is sitting in front of me.
"Well, my boy, I have to say your life sure isn't dull." She smiles at me.
I give a nervous chuckle, "I'll say. Hopefully now it's starting to calm down. But, I think I'm only lying to myself. Can I ask you something?"
"Anything…"
"Were you here when Elena was? I thought afterwards it seemed kind of funny how she tripped and the gun landed nicely on the ground."
Ang smiles knowingly at me. "I might have tripped her up." She shrugs. "Then made sure the gun landed safely. I couldn't risk the evil witch to hurt you or Ana."
"Is that allowed? I mean…" Waving my hand around.
"You mean with the big guy upstairs." She asks. "I think I'm allowed to bend the rules a little. I mean I can't have anything bad happen while you're trying to make rights. Doesn't seem fair. Plus, she wouldn't have been able to shoot anyways. Taylor would have got to her before she did. I just really hate that bitch, so I tripped her up a little. I was really hoping she would fall flat on that botox face of hers." She laughs.
I can't help but laugh with her, "That would have been pretty classic. Thank you."
"So, how are you really doing?" She asks me.
"I think I'm ok. I'm sure the media shit storm is coming and when she goes to trial, but I guess I also worry what this is really doing to Ana and my family. I wonder how much more Ana can take before she bolts."
"I think she's proved to you lately just how much she is willing to handle with you. She loves you, your family loves you. People that love people don't just walk away when the tough gets going. You would do the same for them."
"I guess you're right." I say unbelieving.
"Oh, child you really need to work on those self-loathing issues. You're a pretty special guy. Others see it, you just need to. You spent way too long hating yourself. While you're riding yourself of your past it's time to move past the hate you have for yourself."
"Ugg.. you want to much from me." I moan, then laugh.
"I never said this would be easy. But, you're doing a good job."
"Thank you, that means a lot."
"Mr. Grey." Andrea's voice comes through the room.
Ang gives me a tight smile before she disappears again.
"Yes, Andrea?"
"I have a Detective Clark here to see you."
"Thank you, Andrea send him in."
Detective Clark enters my office, I stand to greet him and shake his hand.
"Mr. Grey I'm here to talk to you about your involvement with Elena Lincoln. My partner Davis is now talking to your father and a Mr." He picks up his notepad and looks at it "Hamilton. I guess he was some hired PI. I was informed you might have a history with Mrs. Lincoln. I need as much information you can give me to help put her away. From what we already know, it seems Mrs. Lincoln already has a few strikes against her."
"I would just like my lawyer with me while we talk, if that's alright."
"Of course."
I call my lawyer and have him meet me in my office. For the next two hours, I tell the Detective about how Elena seduced me at fifteen, how long the relationship lasted. Then about what lead up to today. Clark takes notes and was polite in his questioning. He wants Elena to fry as much as the rest of us. Without saying it, I think he might of had a connection to Alex, Elena's new boy.
When I get home that evening, I'm thankful that Ana is waiting for me. I was still nervous about her bolting for the door. Without any words, I took her in my arms and made love to her. Told her just how much I love her.
As we break away from each other, she cuddles into my arms. I take her hand and move it along more of the no go zone.
I figured the more I try a little everyday, maybe soon, she'll be able to touch me freely. I really want that more than anything. Her touch means so much more.
She looks up at me amazed and awed.
"I'm getting there…' I start to tell her.
"And you will. Thank you for letting me that person that helps you get there."
"Only you, baby." I kiss the top of her head as her hand gently brushes the area I allowed her to go, freely.
"I also have a favor."
"Yeah?"
"I need to tell my brother and sister about some of what happened with Elena, so they're not left in the dark. I was hoping you could be there again, when I tell them. I was thinking of telling Mia tomorrow. "
"Of course, I will. You shouldn't even have to ask. I told you I'm here for you." She reminds me again for maybe on the 100th time today.
"I know. Are you still ok, after everything that happened?"
"Yeah, I'm fine Christian. I know you wouldn't have let anything happen to me. Plus, I'm glad she was able to bury herself in doing what she did today. I only hope the justice system makes her pay." She says sternly.
"You're amazing you know that. I want to show you again just how amazing you are." I wiggle my eyebrows before rolling her to her back.
A/N: To be honest I'm not sure how this chapter played out. This took me the longest to write… almost two plus weeks to get it done. I really wanted Elena gone. Can you blame me?
I'm going to let you know now... I won't be doing to wedding and or honeymoon! I'll mention blurbs, but nothing is really going to go wrong at that time. I'm going to let the happy couple enjoy themselves.
I will see you all next Thursday
