Charity Ball part II

First thank you all for the reviews, follows and favorites but above all your patience with me. It means the world to me that so many people are enjoying my story.

Exam hectic is almost over and summer vacation will start soon which means I have more time to write. The song of the first dance auction is unforgettable by Nat King Cole I recommend playing it while reading that part of the story it makes the scene more intense.

Last but not least this chapter is MA rated because of a lemon. Once again thank you all for reading and please be so kind to leave a review.

(Like always my apologies for any mistakes.)

Christian

I am feeling really agitated. This ball thus far has been a giant bust for me personally. It started this afternoon. Ana had already left for Bellevue, when I got an irate telephone call from grandma Grey telling me to drop my jealous act and let Charlotte go to the ball with Randy Lenerman. She was somehow convinced that Charlotte is my secret girlfriend. I told her in no uncertain terms that I would sooner join the priesthood then ever date Charlotte Drake. I tried to convince her that Randy was a security issue. She did not believe a word I said and told me I was paranoid just like Henry. According to here there is so much security running around that Randy would never try anything.

Once grandma Grey has made up her mind about something there is no way of changing it and I had to capitulate. I have ordered Taylor, Sawyer, and Ryan to keep him away from me and Ana at all costs.

After I had dealt with that debacle, Marcus my head of acquisitions called me to inform me that an acquisition we have been working on for months was going sour. We had to come up with a new strategy to acquire the targeted company fast or we would lose it to the competition. This impromptu meeting had cost me another two hours. When we were finally done I barely had time to shower and get dressed for the ball. Both of these things had put a serious damper on my mood before I even got to Bellevue.

When I finally got there I was forced to deal with an aggravated Elliot. He was in a foul mood because Kate had brought Sawyer as a date to the ball. He has had a crush on her for almost two years now but he is scared to pursue her because of the age difference between them. I find it utter nonsense but is not my call to make. He was afraid Sawyer was really putting the moves on her it took me some time to convince him otherwise. He also finally figured out that Ana is my girlfriend. I told him in no uncertain terms that he had to keep his mouth shut about that. He teased me relentlessly of course. I pointedly told him that I at least had the balls to go after the girl I want. It made him shut his mouth promptly.

We made it back to the table where I spend some nice quality time with Ana. I could not wait to get her alone in my childhood bedroom as soon as dinner was done and I knew she wanted it too. When Kavanagh started dragging Ana away for the first dance auction my fantasy of a childhood bedroom fuck with Ana was put on ice. I was furious Ana isn't single she is fucking mine and mine alone. The idea of other men ogling her or making a bid for her is an anathema to me.

It had taken all of my self-control not to make a scene at the table when she told me that she was going to participate in the auction pleading me with her eyes not to make a scene. Well if she thinks I am going to let another man touch her and dance with her she has another thing coming. There is no chance of that happening.

I will have some serious words with my mom about this later. She should never have allowed Ana to participate in the first place. I made my way to the stage and waited until the auction started. James and Elliot had followed me and were laughing like two demented baboons.

'Is it weird if I bid on my own sister?' James asked still grinning.

'It is, so don't do it.' I snapped at him.

'Seriously bro chill. You don't want Ana to get mad at you for making a scene. Besides if James were to bid on her you wouldn't raise any suspicions.' Elliot said pointedly.

The rational part of me knew that he was right but I really could not muster the strength to care. The only person dancing with Ana tonight was going to be me.

The girls appeared on the stage. Anastasia looked a little anxious and out of place. Her eyes darted over the public nervously until they locked with mine. I regard her coolly for a moment and turn my attention to the other girls on stage. There is Kavanagh, Mariah the daughter of friends of my parents and that god awful Charlotte Drake. Her dark hair is cut into an ugly bob and it looks like she has done something to her lips because her mouth looks like that of a goldfish.

I look around to check to competition and see Randy Lenerman glaring at me like the stupid fucker he is. Taylor and Ryan move next to him letting him know they mean business and gave him an arrogant smirk. Yeah, fucker your on my territory now.

He his face turned red and I know he was furious at my little display of power. He mutters something to Taylor who gives him a cold glare but continues to ignore him.

The MC started to talk and the bustling of the crowd died down quickly. He first introduced a girl named Amanda spouting some bull about her being a circus acrobat. Amanda sells for 5500 dollars and the crowd went mad. Next up is Mariah. The MC blurted out something about her being a race car driver and she fetches a nice 4500 dollars. I feel my heart pound in my chest when I see Anastasia take center stage.

'Next up is the beautiful Anastasia! Anastasia plays the violin is a karate champion and can speak eight different languages. Let's start with a thousand dollars.' The MC said enthusiastically.

James immediately held his hand up smiled at me.

'2000 dollars!' The MC yelled again and I quickly put my hand up.

'3000 dollars!' The MC yelled and much to my dismay I see Lenerman putting up his hand. That fucker is only doing this to piss me off. The bidding quickly escalates and the crowd is gasping in suspense. I blame James for this he did this just to reel me up and bleed more money out of me for his damn hospital. fucker. I have enough of it nobody messes with me and what's mine.

'A 100.000 dollars.' I snarled and the crowd roars. Anastasia looks mortified but I do not care I will deal with her later.

Lenerman looked pissed because I know that he does not have that amount of cash lying around and can never match my bid. This will teach him again not to fuck with me.

'A 100.000 going once, twice? Sold to Mr. Christian Grey.' The MC yells triumphantly.

The crowd goes wild and I see my mother and Carla practically dancing with glee. I roll my eyes and take out my checkbook not really paying attention to the next auction.

'Next up is Charlotte.' The MC yelled into the mic.

'What the hell happened to Charlotte the Harlot's face? She looks like a fucking fish.' James said disgustedly.

Suddenly a devious idea popped into my head and I inwardly grinned. Yeah, that would teach James not to fuck with me.

The MC blabbers something about Charlotte being a trapeze artist and starts the bidding at a 1000 dollars. Of course, Randy puts his hand up. Another dude bids two thousand and Lenerman bids three. The other guy bows out when the price of Charlotte goes up to 4000 thousand.

'I quickly text Taylor and tell him to push Lenerman back into the crowd away from the action so he won't be able to bid anymore. Taylor nodded imperceptibly and carried out the order without question. The look on Lenerman's face was priceless.

'Anyone giving four thousand dollars for the lovely Charlotte.' The MC called again.

I discreetly kick James in the shines hard and he yelps loudly in pain and surprise. The MC beamed at him, taking his painful yelp as a bid on the 'lovely' Charlotte.

'OH, fuck!' James grunted as he began to realize what just happened.

'4000 dollars going ones? Twice? Sold to Mr. James Steele.'

'You dirty fucker. I will get you for this.' He said growling at me furiously. I gave him a beaming smile and winked at him.

'That is what you get for fucking with me. Enjoy your dance with Charlotte I know I will enjoy mine with your sister.' I patted him on the back and made my way to the back of the stage to collect my girl.

I heard him cursing loudly while Elliot was hooting with laughter.

I got to the back of the stage and saw Ana talking to one of the other girls. The girl I think her name was Amanda poked her and she turned her attention to me. Her bright blue eyes look like ice shards and I knew she is mad really, really mad. Well too bad so was I. I held out my hand for her and she wordlessly accepted it.

'Have you gone completely mad?' She hissed at me when we were out of earshot of Amanda and into the house.

'I could ask you the same question.' I growled back.

'You have made a spectacle of yourself. Sooner or later people are going to talk and put one and one together.' She seethed.

'This is your own damn fault. Tell me Anastasia do you get off on defying me? First the boy and now a public auction so every Dick, Ben or Harry could cup a feel at you? I think not Anastasia you are mine and mine alone.' I hissed back angrily while dragging her up the stairs towards my bedroom.

'Stop pulling me! I can't walk this fast on these heels.' She snapped.

'Don't bother.' I snapped back. I lift her up throw her over my shoulder.

She squeals in indignation.

'Put me down you brute!' She said while bashing me on my back with her fists like an unruly child.

I ignored her and walked towards my bedroom with large strides. Once I reached my bedroom I opened de door and put her back down on the ground.

'Are you insane?! Everyone could have seen us! I already said I was sorry about Jose stop bringing that up. You are totally overreacting it was just one dance for a good cause.' She said prissily.

'Nobody dances with you but me and I do not give a fuck if someone saw us. I think I am tired of playing this hiding game.'

I know it is not fair and probably not the smartest thing to say but this is just how I feel.

She stared at me flabbergasted.

'Christian please you promised. I can't go to school like a normal person anymore if everybody knows I am your girlfriend.' She begged.

'You promised me not to draw other men's attention on purpose and thus far you have managed to break that promise every single time. Tell me Anastasia why the hell should I keep my promise while you continue to break yours?' I asked while cocking and eyebrow at her.

'Damn you Christian you are overreacting! You act like I am sleeping around like some hussy. I am yours and nobody else you have nothing to worry about. You act like you cannot trust me.'

'Oh, Anastasia I trust you implicitly it is the men vying for your affection that I do not trust.'

She throws her hands up in exasperation.

'For heaven's sake Christian we are going around in circles this is the third time we are having this same conversation. One of the men bidding on me was my own freaking brother! One was you and I have no idea who the other one was but he did not look like serial killer.'

'There were others bidding on you too they all want what is mine! And one of the guys bidding on you is an asshole his name is Randy Lenerman and he is an incompetent jerk and serial philanderer. He is a predator pure sang and a danger to the female population. Stop acting so bloody naïve. I. Do. Not. Share. Ana and it is time you learn that lesson once and for all.' I said trapping her between the wall and my body.

Her breathing quickened and her pupils dilated.

'What are you going to do with me?' She asked breathlessly.

'I am going to fuck you so hard until you can't remember anything else but only my name.'

Her breath hitched and I knew she was turned on.

'Who says you can?' She replied tauntingly.

I pulled up her dress in one swift move and gasped when I saw her wearing stockings underneath it. My cock twitched in my pants and it took all my self-control not to ravage her against the wall. I ripped her panties away which made her gasp and slipped my hands between her already wet folds.

'You do baby. See how wet you are for me?' I breathed near her ear which made her moan.

'I love and I hate it when you do this to me.' She whimpered.

'Do what to you baby?' I asked while I licked the shell of her ear.

'Fight with me, like this.' She muttered.

'So do I Angel.'

She rubbed her hand over my crotch and squeezed my cock hard making me growl with pleasure.

I turned her around and pulled the zipper of her dress down.

'Step out of it baby.' I said and she complied immediately. I opened the button of my trousers and pulled down the zipper to divest myself of my pants.

'Put your hands around my neck.' I growled in her ear while I pulled down my boxers making my rock hard cock spring free. I lifted her up and pushed down her panties hastily.

'Wrap your legs around my waist.' I grunted and she complied like the good girl she always is. I pressed her ass against the wall and grabbed my cock moving it slowly up down her wet folds teasing her clit relentlessly. She moaned in pleasure.

'You like my big cock teasing you angel?' I taunted her.

'Christian please.' She begged.

'Please what Ana? Say it I need you to say it.' I ground out.

'I want your big cock. I need you to come inside me.' She moaned softly.

Her words were my undoing and I slammed inside her with one hard thrust. Anastasia cried out and her eyes rolled into the back of her head in ecstasy she looked and felt like heaven.

I slammed my lips against hers kissing her with fervor while a slow sound of arousal escaped my throat.

My urgency increased, and I opened my lips wider to deepen the kiss while I pushed her against my bedroom wall. Ana's fingers pressed against my shoulders and a pleasure filled moan escaped her throat.

I began thrusting deep inside her slamming her ass against the wall with each deep stroke of my cock which made her whimper in pure pleasure. I moved my mouth to her neck and sucked and licked on every inch of her beautiful warm skin. Marking her as mine for everyone to see.

'Oh, god please Christian.' She mewled.

I picked up the phase and relentlessly pushed my cock into her hot tight canal burying myself balls deep inside of her, my favorite place in the world.

'Oh, please Christian oh, please' She cried out again.

My name on her lips made my mouth grow slack against her skin. My breathing comes out in a labored rough gasp. I start to pound harder inside of her wanting to bury myself completely in her. The intensity of her warm moist skin against my own and the sight of her face contorted in pure ecstasy was my undoing.

'Fuck Ana I am going to come.' I grunted out.

My thrusts turn into short rough jerks and I felt her walls tighten around my cock she cried out my name again and her entire body convulses in release trembling and shaking against my own.

With a final surge, a harsh growl roared out of me, I buried myself inside her to the hilt and hot spurts of cum shot out my dick. My entire body shook and shuddered with my release.

I pressed my forehead against hers lightly.

'God I love you, Ana.' I said breathlessly I pulled out of her making her winch and gently slid her back on the ground.

'I love you too Christian. Let's not fight anymore.' She replied contritely.

'God I love and I hate fighting with you. You make me feel so alive.' I said while kissing her again.

'So do you Mr. Grey.' She replied back softly.

'Come let's get you cleaned up the first dance starts 15 minutes.'

I make my way into my bathroom and take out some wet wipes.

'Lay down on the bed.' I said to her she obeys and I crawl down between her legs and gently clean her up.

'I love seeing my cum dripping out of you.' I told her earnestly.

'You sir, are such a pervert.' She giggled.

I smiled and nibbled her thigh.

'Your pervert baby, only yours.' I replied smiling at her.

When I am done I help her with her dress and put my trousers back on.

'I believe that you owe me a dance, Ms. Steele.'

'Didn't I just gave you one?' She replied back coyly.

I roll my eyes and playfully smack her ass.

'Let's go brat.'

When we got back downstairs the party is in full swing, people are laughing and appear to have a really good time except for James who looks like someone killed his firstborn child.

'How about you go get us something to drink I need to ask Kate something.' Ana said sweetly.

'Babe the dance starts in 5 minutes.' I grunt out.

'I promise it will just be a second.' She replied and kissed me on the cheek before making her way towards Kavanagh who is sharing an O' dourve with Elliot. Typical I think wryly I wonder why Sawyer is.

I took two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter and silently waited near the tent until Ana come back.

'Not so tough without your goons now Grey.' Randy Lenerman's sneered at me.

Where the hell did that fucker come from and where are Ryan, Taylor, or Sawyer. I specifically told them to keep this asshole away from me. He smells of booze and his black pig-like eyes look even smaller in his bloated face.

'Good evening Randy, I see you finally made it out of the poor house. Congratulations.' I replied sardonically.

'You are a funny man Grey. I wonder if you are still laughing when I expose you for the sick fuck you are.' He sneered back.

'Are you treating me Randy? Because I don't take kindly to threats I eliminate them immediately. You best remember that.'

'I am not scared of you Grey we still have a score to settle.' He seethed.

'No Randy boy I am done with you. And I suggest you leave my family and me alone or what I did to your father's company will be child's play compared to what I will do to you. And you and I both know that I don't make idle threats.' I replied back acidly.

'Mr. Grey sir my apologies.' Taylor said while he came running towards me.

'Taylor, please escort Mr. Lenerman of the property.'

'Of course Mr. Grey. Mr. Lenerman this way sir.'

'Wait you cannot do this I paid for a table seat and I am here with a date.'

'Actually, I can. You threatened me and like I said I eliminate threats. You can collect your date if she is willing to go with you but you are leaving this property regardless.'

'I will get you for this Grey. And get your hands off me you goone.' He sneered at Taylor who is getting assistance from Ryan now.

'What is going on here you can't throw out my date.' An annoying high pitched voice screamed.

When I look up I see Charlotte charging towards us like a bull in a China shop.

'I can do whatever the fuck I want. Your date threatened me and is a risk. You are welcome to join him, Charlotte.' I replied her coldly.

'You are just jealous Christian that he asked me out and you did not. That is why you acting like a spoiled little child.' She said snidely.

I let out a humourless laugh.

'Do you have shit for brains Charlotte? Because I made it pretty clear to you that I would rather join the priesthood then date or fuck you. The only reason I tolerate you is to appease my grandmother but even my tolerance has its limits. I suggest you be a good little bitch and go with your boyfriend or you will find out what it is like to be on my bad side.'

Charlotte glares at me with her mouth wide open the look on her face is that of pure indignation but I do not give a fuck. I nod at Taylor and he starts moving Lenerman away again discreetly.

'You are a monster.' She hissed at me angrily.

I gave her a sardonic smile.

'I cannot argue with that assessment.'

'I am not leaving I have a dance with James in two minutes.' She said irately.

I threw my hands up in mock surrender.

'I am sure James won't mind if you leave prematurely but sooth yourself.'

She huffed and stomped off angrily towards James is standing I smile a little.

I knew this will get me in trouble with grandmother later but right now I do not care. I only wonder why it took Taylor and Ryan so long to keep him away from me. I will ask them later. Right now I have a dance date with the most beautiful girl in the world.

I walked towards Anastasia.

'Are you ready to dance with me beautiful?' I asked while I gave her a glass of champagne.

She smiled up at me and put down the glass on the table.

'Always.' She whispered softly.

The MC invites all the first dance couples onto the dance floor and I have to suppress the urge to laugh at James who has to content with Charlotte hanging on his arm.

'I will get you for this Christian.' He hissed at me.

'Oh, don't be such a spoilsport and give poor Charlotte a good time.'

'Fuck you, Grey.' He replied flippantly making me grin.

I lead Ana to the dance floor and the band starts to play

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

'This song is so beautiful and appropriate you are truly unforgettable Mr. Grey.' Ana said with a soft sigh.

I smile down at her slowly dancing to the music.

'So are you Ms. Steele just like the song says in every way.'

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am unforgettable too

She looks up and smiles shyly at me. 'Sometimes you say the sweetest things.' She said softly.

'And here I thought that I said only sweet things to you.' I replied teasingly making her roll her eyes at me.

'You know rolling your eyes is a very nasty habit of you Ms. Steele.'

'It is? So what are you going to do about it, Mr. Grey.' She replied coyly.

I bend closer to her ear and whisper. 'Maybe I should spank you every time you do it.'

Her eyes go wide in shock making me chuckle.

'You wouldn't?'

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

The songs near the end and I pressed her body close to mine.

'Watch me, baby, I totally would.'

She gasped at me. ' You sir, are unbelievable.' She said tartly.

'Oh, no baby I am unforgettable after all that is what you just told me.' I replied smirking at her.

'You know Christian, maybe I should spank you for all your misdemeanors.' She said thoughtfully.

I throw my head back in my neck and laugh loudly.

'Oh, baby that would be so hot.'

Someone taps on my shoulder and I turn around.

'How about I have a dance with my sister and you can entertain Charlotte.' James said with a big smirk on his face.

Before I can reply he already has taken Ana's hand and starts dancing to Lady in red by Chris Deburgh.

'Fucker.' I muttered under my breath. I had no intention of dancing with Charlotte so I moved off the dance floor to speak to Taylor

'Where the hell were you, Ryan or Sawyer.' I snapped at him.

'My apologies sir. We had a security breach. That journalist Jessica Marquez and her PI buddy posed as members of the catering staff to try and gain access to the premises. One of the security guys recognized them from the proscribed list.'

'What did you do with them?'

'We called the cops they have been arrested for trespassing.'

'Good, I will give call my lawyers in the morning and give the commissioner a call. I will throw the book at them.'

'Of course sir.' Taylor replied stoic as ever.

I do not understand Marquez obsession with me. What is she after? Maybe I should ask Welch to do some digging on her to find out what it is she wants exactly.

The song nears it ends and I move back on the dance floor for another dance with Ana but grandma Trevelyan stops me and demands I dance with her. Unfortunately, for me the next hour I am forced to dance with my mother, Carla, grandma Grey who keeps scolding me for Charlotte Jeanine a friend of my mother and that Amanda girl.

When I am finally released from my dancing duties I am stuck talking business and small talk with various business associates. All the while I have to watch Ana dancing with Jose and Sawyer. A whole other slew of dickfaces is vying for her affection too and I hate every second of it. Luckily she spurred all of them and spends time talking to Kavanagh and some other girls.

By the time we are both free it is time for the fireworks.

'You want to join me for the fireworks Ms. Steele.' I whispered in her ear.

'Always Mr. Grey.' She replied cheerfully.

I took her hand and we walked towards the large willow near the water. It is a private spot where no one can see us. A pontoon surrounded with countless floating fairy light is set in the water. The sky is cloudless and millions of stars shine down upon us.

'This feels so magical.' Ana said in wonder.

'That is because you make everything feel magical.' I replied earnestly.

She gave me a shy smile.

'Sometimes you say the most wonderful things Christian.' She said while looking up at me.

A gave her a small smile.

'That is because you bring out the best in me baby.' I pulled her against my chest and nuzzled her hair. She smelt like Ana a special blend of wildflowers and apples my favorite scent in the whole wide world.

The MC started talking again thanking everyone for a wonderful and successful evening. We have collected almost 4.5 million dollars for the Nigerian hospital. An amazing amount of money. James should be pleased.

The fireworks go off from the floating pontoon illuminating both the water and the sky. It was an amazing sight to see.

'I don't know how you mom pulls it off every time. This is amazing.' Ana said awed.

'I know, mom really knows how to plan a party.'

She nuzzles closer to my chest and sighs contently.

'That she does.' She replied after a beat.

The loud bangs from the exploding fire arrows and rockets fill the otherwise still evening air while the sky lights up is red, green purple and blue light.

'No matter how many times I have seen fireworks I can never get over how beautiful it is.' Ana said softly.

'I know what you mean baby. It is one of those things that will always remain enchanting. Just like you.'

She turns around and presses her mouth to mine. A harsh breath escaped from my nose when she opened her mouth for me, and eagerly pushed her tongue inside my mouth. I met her searching tongue stroking it passionately.

It never seizes to amaze me how entwined I feel with her. Every time we make love, kiss, fuck or are just together it feels like we are merged into a single person. It is an amazing overwhelming feeling to be so close to another person that it becomes unclear where I end and she begins. I am slowly beginning to understand that it does not matter because Ana is a part of me like I am a part of her.

After a while, she breaks the kiss and stroked my cheek lovingly. I stare into her blue pools they reflect the same emotions and feelings that are so very present in mine.

' Will you come home with tonight?' I asked her hopeful afraid that she might stay with her parents.

She smiled at me.

'I would not want to be anywhere else Christian.' She replied warmly.

I hold her close to me and together we watch the remainder of the fireworks feeling happy, peaceful and content. No matter what live throws at us we will always have each other and that is all that matters.
