Ch 14: A Grey Thing

Edited by me; all remaining mistakes are mine.

What a way to wake up in the morning. I was sleeping good after last night's sex-a-thon. I may have created a monster with Anastasia; she was insatiable, and I thought I was bad with wanting it all the time! She was kissing my unshaven jaw when I woke up. My eyes landed on hers as she looked back at me smiling.

"Good morning, baby," I said, my voice groggy.

"Hmmm...good morning," she replied huskily.

She was straddling me and kissing on my bare chest. I loved how her warm lips felt on my skin and she tickled it with her tongue.

Looking down at her I asked, "Aren't you sore from last night?"

Ana slid down my torso kissing every inch of me.

"Nope, I'm not sore at all. Infact I'm ready to go again," she replied to me.

Ana pulled the covers off me as she worked her way down. She was out beating me. I couldn't count how many times we done it last night. Ana did all the work as she handled my dick and slid onto it. My back arched as I filled her to the kilt.

"Fuck!" I screamed out as she started moving up and down.

"Hmmm this feels good, Christian! Yes, I love this!" she bellowed out as I saw her bounce up and down. She was taking control and Jesus did I like it! Holy hell this was fantastic!

I could feel her juices on my dick as she moved. Every time she moved her hips, I felt the clenching of her tight pussy. Oh lord in heaven, I felt like I was floating in the air! My body was trembling with every move she made on top of me. My balls had tightened once again, it felt like a spring and I was ready to explode like a volcano!

"Ung!" I shouted, feeling everything. The tightness, the wetness, and everything in between. The bed began to squeak as I heard her moaning which spurred me on as well! Tilting my head back as I felt the release coming at any second now.

"You feel that, Christian?" Ana asked me as she was about to come to.

"Fuck yes! Oh god yes!" I shouted my neck still stretched out, showing off my adams apple.

"Well feel it more as I do this!" she said as she bent herself back far enough to where I could feel myself going deeper inside of her. I must have hit her g spot as she shouted, "Yes, yes, that's the spot!" as she came to her orgasm.

My eyes rolled back. "Oh good God! Ana! My Ana!" I screamed out coming hard inside of her. Feeling myself pulsate with everything in me. Soon I felt her land on top of me sated at last, our breathing calming down.

Pulling her hair away from her face I said, "Now that's a fucking wake up call in the morning. I'm surprised the neighbors in the hotel hasn't called and complained on us yet."

"Hmmm…" she replied back as she laid on me.

"You okay, baby?" I asked concerned, leaning my head forward.

"Yeah. Just taking in everything that happened last night. We got engaged, Christian."

Still looking down at her, I replied, "Yes we did sweetie. I'm looking forward to us setting the date." I looked over at the clock and it said 9:30 am. "We need to get going honey so we can be out at check out time, plus eat breakfast. I need a shower too."

I removed her leg from mine as I untangled myself. Getting out of the bed and walked to the bathroom stark naked. Turning on the shower head and getting underneath. God that water felt so good! Anastasia came in the bathroom herself but she was already dressed and was brushing her teeth.

I stepped out, dripping wet. Grabbing a towel drying myself off. Ana was looking at me through the mirror. I smirked at her as she turned and walked out the bathroom. I continued grooming as I shaved and brushed my teeth. We had our breakfast right before we was to check out.

Soon I was at the front desk checking us out. Ana stood in the lobby area waiting for me. The lady at the front desk flirted with me a little.

"I hope you enjoyed your stay, Mr. Grey," she replied batting her eyelashes at me.

"Yes we did," I said with a smile.

"We?" she asked, looking at me.

"My fiance and I. Thanks Lauren, you have a great day!" I said leaving the desk.

Just as I was rounding the corner I saw Anastasia and some young kid, well high school kid. He was talking to her animately using his hands. He stood within her personal space, and I was gauging his body language.

I heard her say, "Wow! That's awesome Ethan. I know you worked very hard to get into Harvard. I'm proud of you," she replied and giving him a hug.

Once I got close to them, I cleared my throat. She disengaged herself from the boy as she looked back at me. I saw her smile falter as she knew I wasn't happy with her at the moment.

"Are we all set?" she asked me.

"Yes, I got us checked out." I put the emphasis on the us part. "Who is this gentleman?" I asked her as my eyes went from hers to his.

"Oh, I'm sorry. This is Ethan Kavanaugh, he's a senior in my class. Ethan, this is my boyfriend-fiance Christian Grey. We just got engaged last night."

Ethan looked right at me, "Oh congratulations to the both of you!" he said shaking my hand.

"Thank you, Ethan. Its nice to make your acquaintance." I replied tightly, still not fully happy that Ana was hugging him earlier.

"Well, Ana, it was nice talking to you. I will see you at graduation," he said, not taking his eyes off me. Okay that was a bit weird.

He walked off, as Ana stood there looking back at me as I did her.

"What?" I asked roughly.

"You were rather standoffish with him. Why were you being so rude?" she asked.

"Maybe it's because my fiance was hanging all over that high school boy and fawning all over him," I retorted angrily. "You know that I'm a jealous man, Anastasia. Especially when it's men in your age rank."

She giggled at me. What the fuck? I was mad at her flirting and she's fucking laughing at me?

"And prey tell what are you laughing at, Ana? This isn't funny!" I shouted, my temper getting the best of me.

"I can't believe you're jealous of him, Christian," she replied giggling.

I walked closer to her, getting her her space. "You know if the shoe were on the other foot, Ana, you'd be jealous too."

She replied with a smirk, "I highly doubt that, Christian. Especially it being him."

"Oh yeah, why is that?" I asked haughtily daring her.

"Because he's gay. He was actually checking you out just before he left."

Oh. Seriously? He did look at me rather strangely. Shit! I couldn't believe I didn't pick up on that.

"He's gay?" I asked questioning her again.

"Yep. He just came out of the closet this year. It seemed he was hiding that part of his life for a long time. I could tell he was rather taken with you, baby. Especially the way he was looking at you," she continued to explain as she toyed with the buttons on my shirt.

I laughed. "So I was jealous for nothing then."

"Yep," she said back looking me in the eyes.

"Fine, I apologize sweetie. But for the record, since we are engaged now, please refrain from hugging other men. I really don't like it. Gay or not," I replied looking back at her.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you, Christian. That was not my intention."

I blew out a breath. "I know sweetie...just thinking of you being with someone else, terrifies the hell out of me. I mean we do have quite a bit an age difference between us. I just don't want you to wake up one morning and think you made a mistake marrying me. Your a beautiful woman, Anastasia. I'm just glad I snatched you up when I did."

"Christian, you and I were meant to be. There is no one else. Older or younger. Your it for me. And I have this to prove it," she said, holding up her fisted hand and showing off her ring.

I kissed her ring. Looking in her eyes, I said, "I love you."

She gave me a chaste kiss. "I love you too. Let's go home."

That we did. The valet brought my car to me. He opened the door for her as I got in. I look behind me to make sure it was clear and took off. We got home in time for lunch. I put our stuff away as Ana and Kate were talking. I joined them afterwards.

Kate and Elliot decided to have their wedding at the end of summer right before they go away to college. Though I thought about us having a double wedding, I started realizing that we all should have our own wedding. Plus Ana's taste are pretty simple as Kate's is a little more extravagant. I wanted my daughter to have the wedding she wanted.

"So, sweetheart, how do you want to do this?" I asked her as we were sitting in the kitchen discussing details.

"Hmmm...good question. I really don't want a big to do wedding, just something small and intimate. What about you?" She asked me.

"I agree. Though I'm sure before long the press is going to get a hold of this. I'm surprised it hasn't already," I replied, sort of disappointed.

Kate smiled at me as she at across from Ana and myself. "Actually it has."

I looked back at my daughter. "Seriously? We only got engaged last night. I mean we haven't even announced it in the papers yet."

Kate got up and walked over to the counter where the paper was. Bringing it back as she showed it to us.

"See?" as she pointed it out. Damn! They didn't waste anytime do they?

The headlines read: The most eligible bachelor isn't eligible anymore! The business owner of Grey House Enterprises is engaged to Anastasia Steele, who will be graduating this spring. Congratulations to the happy couple who were all smiles at last night's events. Plus we noticed how Anastasia flashed her ring for all the women to see. Way to go Ana!

I looked back at Ana who was beaming at me. Well, at least she wasn't upset. There was even a picture of us on the red carpet.

"Well baby it looks like the cat is out of the bag."

"Honestly, I'm not surprised with that Christian. After all that was a big event," Ana replied.

True. "Truth be told, I'm kind of glad this was done," I said my eyes beaming as well. The fact that everyone will know that she was indeed taken. Yes, everyone included, Jose and now Jack, who seemed to be very fascinated with my girl.

"Oh? Why is that?" Ana asked.

"Because, baby, it will be all over Seattle that you are indeed mine. That part I don't mind at all, especially when certain people read it," I said back in a flirting tone and wiggling my eyebrows to her. It gives me great pleasure knowing the news would spread quickly. Very quickly.

They both snorted at me. Kate laughed out saying, "My dad the romantic! I should have known you'd say something like that! Who knew?!"

Both girls couldn't hide their laughter any longer as they bust out with laughing at me.

Looking back at them both astonished. I asked, "What's wrong with me wanting everyone to know that Ana will be my wife?"

"Nothing dad…" Kate said still smiling. Anastasia kept laughing too.

I didn't get it. Did I miss something?

"Okay, well, I'm off to the library. I have some papers to write for my final. See you two later." Kate said as she was leaving the room shaking her head to me. Ana and I were alone again as she kept looking at me with a big smile on her face.

"What?" I asked, still not getting earlier.

"You don't realize your behaviour do you?" she asked with some humor in her voice.

"My behavior? I didn't know I was acting any different," I simply stated.

"Oh? Christian you are so predictable when it comes to certain things."

I sat back in the chair looking back at her. "Care to enlighten me then because I have no clue what you two were talking about or laughing about for that matter."

"Oh come on! It's so obvious!" She said laughing and smiling it up.

Jesus! Why won't she just tell me already.

"I'd like to know what it is you are saying. I'm not acting any different…" or I didn't think so.

"It's in your body language and tone of voice, Christian. The way you carry yourself…"

"And?" I prodded.

"Do you remember that one time in your car as you were driving me to school? There was a certain way you walked."

"Yeah? What about it?" I asked curiously leaning in closer to her.

"I said you had this extra spring in your step so-to-speak. So very confident, cocky, and sexy as hell!" she said flirting back. "But now it's in the way you talk, especially about me."

Oh. Well, I won't deny at all that my demeanor has changed some. Okay, maybe a lot. I laughed just then.

"So what you are saying is that my sex appeal is coming out more. As in I'm oozing my feelings for you in a very demanding way. Is that it?" I asked in a very seductive tone looking in her eyes, my eyes never leaving hers.

"In a nutshell, yes. In other words, you hinted towards me that you wanted Jose...my ex-best friend that I'm unavailable now that we're engaged. And that makes you...domineering in a very sexy way."

Oh yes, we are back to that again. Ana likes my overprotective jealous side that comes out of me. Especially concerning Jose.

"What can I say, Ana? I'm an incurable romantic who knows what he wants and gets," I said, letting her know that she was right. Our gaze never retreating away from each other. The sexual tension was very thick between us. Her cell rang cutting into our spell. She shook her head to clear it as I smiled back.

She answered. "Hey, dad. Yes we decided on the wedding date…" she got up and left the room to talk while I got up and went to my office, taking the paper with me.

I kept looking at it re reading the article, I was happy that it was out there for the whole city of Seattle to see and read. I think Anastasia was right. I have changed alot since she and I started seeing each other. I was a proud and happy man. Possessive more like it.

I wasn't sure what it was about Anastasia...but I found myself so fucking domineering with her. And damn she looked good last night. I had a TV in my study/office. Ana was talking on the phone so I decided to watch the latest news.

A female reporter was talking about the Masquerade Casino event. I turned up the volume to listen.

"It seems as Christian Grey, the entrepreneur of Grey House Enterprise got engaged to Anastasia Steele last night; breaking hearts of women all across America." I chuckled with that description as she continued on, "The millionaire and his fiance danced the night away only to surprise her with a proposal on the dance floor! It's become quite clear that Grey has found love. We offer congratulations to the happy couple and wish them all the happiness in the world."

So it's in the news now. Surely, Jose has seen it by now if he hadn't read the paper. I suddenly felt the arms of Ana on my shoulder as she rubbed my chest.

"So, how did your conversation go with your dad?" I asked her as she kissed my forehead, leaning in to me. I was still sitting in my black leather chair.

"Good. I told dad we set a date; pretty much right after graduation. And that Kate and Elliot would marry right at the end of summer."

"How did he take it that we're getting sooner than Kate?" I asked.

She ran her hand up and down on my arm, causing goose bumps. She purred, "Oh maybe that I've been a very bad girl…"

I yanked her down to me causing her to squeal with delight as she landed in my lap. Gripping her hair in my fist, as I brought her lips closer to mine.

Barely touching her lips I growled, "A very bad girl indeed!"

Smashing her lips to mine; sliding my tongue in her mouth making her moan. My fingers found she was pantieless, finding she was wet with desire. I tore my lips from hers saying, "A very bad girl in deed not wearing any underwear. Maybe I should punish you for that!"

Plunging my fingers deep inside of her wet folds as they clenched on for dear life. She was very tight and wet. Her hooded eyes looked into mine. "Christian!" as she rolled her eyes enjoying my toying with her.

"Who makes you come, baby?" I asked, commanding her.

Just as she was about to say my name, I heard another voice instead saying it instead.

"Christian!" Fuck! It was my mother.

"Shit!" As I removed my fingers out of Ana leaving her without an orgasm. Her eyes popped open as she looked back at me in wonderment.

I heard my mother yelling for me again. "Christian, where are you?" mother called out.

"Fuck!" Ana said outloud!

Just as she was getting out of my lap, mother must have seen her and turned her body.

"Oh my god! I am so sorry!" she exclaimed turning away from us.

"Mom?" I questioned. "Don't you know how to ring the doorbell?" I asked getting myself straightened out as well.

Ana herself was flushed as could be. She was smoothing down her skirt as we speak.

Mom still turned away, "I'm so sorry. I rang it but no one answered, so I just came right in."

I was still in my chair as Ana fumbled with herself more. However; seeing the diamond ring flash in the sunlight made me giddy.

Looking at mother now I replied, "You can turn around mother. We're descent."

Mom looked at Anastasia as she stood beside me. She walked a little closer to us as she said, "I really am sorry I walked in on the two of you."

"I'm sure it won't be the last time," I chuckled. "So what brings you by?"

Mom looking between and and myself she said, "I thought we could discuss the weddings of course. Yours and Kates."

"Oh...mom...about mine and Ana's we decided we wanted to make it simple and more intimate affair. Kate I'm sure will want a big wedding." I answered mom.

"Really?" Mom asked looking back at Ana. "You don't want a big wedding Ana? After all this one the only one you will ever have, surely you'd want…"

"Mom," I said interrupting her.

"What?" She asked.

"Look, I know you mean well, but as you know Anastasia has simple tastes. She and I discussed it earlier and we want just a intimate wedding. Nothing too fancy."

"I see," mom said as she sat down in the chair in front of my desk.

"Mrs. Grey…" Ana started saying.

"Please call me Grace dear, Mrs. Grey makes me feel old."

"Grace…" Ana spoke softly, "I really appreciate what you want to do for me-us. But an intimate small event is what we really want. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings."

"Anastasia dear, you aren't hurting me. I admit to being little hurt but I totally understand. This is your wedding afterall. If you want small and intimate that's what you will get."

"Thank you, I- we appreciate that," Ana replied. Then looking back at me she said, "I'm getting a little hungry. I'm going to grab a snack in the kitchen." She gave me a chaste kiss and walked off.

"Christian…" Mom began to say but I got up, held a finger to her for a minute. I went to Anastasia who just gotten to the door to which I caught up to her.

"Hey, are you sure a small intimate wedding is what you want?"

"Yes, Christian, it is." She whispered back.

"Okay, just as long as you are sure," I replied. Holding her gaze for a moment as we looked in each other's eyes.

She pursed her lips as she said, "Why do I get the feeling that you want a kiss? A long kiss?"

"Maybe because I do," I replied still close to her; palming her face with my hand.

"But your mom…

I cut her off right there and gave her a kiss. A long deep one indeed. I couldn't help myself. That chaste one wasn't good enough. I broke it off soundly looking in her eyes.

"Show off!" Ana replied haughtily.

"You bet I am doll." I replied back cockily, then returned to my leather chair to discuss with mother.

Mom and I discussed a few things for mine and Ana's wedding that of course I'd run by her. We talked a little about Kate's wedding then she started putting away all of her wedding books and such. I was typing in my laptop looking up something when I saw mom looking back at me. Her eyes were really studying me.

"Yes, mom?" I asked.

"Something is very different about you...I can't quite put a finger on it."

"Well, gee mom, maybe it's because I'm in love and getting married perhaps," I answered.

She shook her head at me. "Nope, that's not it...well, not all of it. I noticed how differently you are acting lately."

I was shocked. Her too?

"What do you mean exactly that I act differently?" I asked, standing up from my chair walking around and sitting on my desk in front of mom.

"Well look at you, Christian. Your whole body language and how you carry yourself…"

I shook my head in amazement. "Not you too!" I exclaimed.

Jesus, now my own mother is noticing it? First Ana, then Kate and now mom? What is this?

"What do you mean, not me too. Whats going on?" Mom asked.

This is rather hard to talk to my mom about...I mean it's mom. How do I say this without sounding like a pig?

"Christian? What's going on? What do you mean not me too?" she asked again.

I finally came out and told her. "The girls, Ana and Kate told me earlier that they saw differences in me too, like you just did. Basically Ana told me that I ooze sex appeal when it comes to my ways with her," I stated hoping I didn't say too much because this is mom.

I heard her say, "Hmm," under her breath. Mom looked back at me for a moment. "I have noticed that when you are around people that you pretty much mark your territory when it comes to Ana."

I stared at mom. Fuck! She totally has picked up on it as well. Shit! I looked at mom in horror.

"Christ!" I said out loud.

"Oh now, Christian, there isn't anything wrong with what you are doing son. For instance I noticed that when she gave you that short kiss, you my son went after her only get to a longer one, even in front of me. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what you are doing."

"Are you kidding me with this? H-how d-did you know?" I questioned.

She laughed. My mother laughed at me! "Because your dad does that to me still to this day."

What?!

"What do you mean?"

"I mean your dad, Christian, does that very same thing to me like you do with Ana. Its called marking your territory. He's done it with his friends and or dinner parties all the time. Its called a Grey thing."

"So what you are telling me...it's like in my genes so to speak?"

"Yes, Christian. Its called being a man too. Anyways I need to head out. I will talk to you both soon."

Mom gave me a kiss on the cheek and left. Me? I stood in bewilderment. I had no idea that my dad did the same thing as I did to Ana.

A/N: Hey all...it's so good to be back to normal, almost that is. I know I said the graduation would be in this chapter...well I couldn't quite fit it in.
