Putting Down Roots:

Chapter Twenty Eight: All is not so crystal clear:

C Pov:

As I see home coming into view Luke and I are heading towards the welcoming beacons of light, this is a very unusual way of me ending my working day, coming home in Charlie Tango, and landing in a wooded area with just enough room for his blades. I call in my arrival and land, if I do say so myself very smoothly for my first night time landing here.

"Good landing Sir, do you need me to secure him?"

"Please Luke and thanks for today. How was it standing in for Taylor?"

"Riveting Sir... " I laugh and head in, on the back porch my woman is waiting, god how fucking cave man of me was that? I am no more hunter gatherer than she is, but god my heart bursts seeing her, she smiles and yup my balls have dropped. Ros is right Ana has me pussy whipped and in a fucking good way.

"Hello you, did you have a good journey home in your hellibob?"

"I did, and you did you have a god day too Baby?"

"I did, but I missed you, kiss me please?"

"If I were on the top with you yes, hold your horse's woman."

"Sorry, I missed you." I bound up the wooden steps and hold her, god she is already everything to me. I breath in her scent and kiss her, has it been ten hours, just ten hours?

"Wow, you did miss me..."

"I did, now let's get in and changed, have you been back long?"

"Nope, just got in myself, I saw the lights go on and knew you were nearly home. Samantha needs something to do; she has been so bored all day."

"She will find something to do; she is very resourceful and good at Sudoku."

"I was thinking when I am working she could be my nurse assistant, she knows her way around the instruments?"

"Whatever you wish, ask her, she has a mind of her own and as long as she is near you then I am fine, now kiss me woman we have ten hours to make up for."

"Have you been counting the minutes Mr Grey?"

"A little, listen about next week?"

"You don't want me to go with you?"

"What, of course I want you with me, have you changed your mind Baby?"

"No, god no I just well I was worried you had changed yours and didn't want me there with you."

"Good then, I was going to ask could you extend to another week? I have a little business in London for three days, then four in Paris and then three days in Luxembourg; I have someone to see there."

"I guess so; we only have the jobs in the book and helping resettle your grandmother's circus in. I mean it's a huge business, you made it seem like she ran a home working thing, doing samples and such from home, not running the whole kit and caboodle from Seattle?"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha is that what she told you god she can spin a yarn, literally too. No she has various small holdings where she farms each species, I mean the sheep are on a farm, the rabbits are on another, and the others are all split up between varying land she rents, the only things she has at home are the damned birds, and they guard their precious fruit trees. That was an accidental buy by the way, the ostriches, she read somewhere they were better at guarding her sheep. We didn't question her and well they do a pretty good job at keeping out the undesirables. I have had my butt pecked more than once and it ain't something I want happening again."

"Okay then, that solves that problem of where to put the birds, if they are not for farming, she doesn't breed them for their meat does she, I mean it is become popular?"

"No, she doesn't breed them for meat, they are as I said, guard birds, I believe the angry birds game has nothing on them when they see something that is a miss, they alert the minder on duty and all intruders are dealt with, whether they are two legged or four, they respond to each of their handlers funnily enough and they all love granny. The birds are pack birds and each have a heard to guard and they do a great job too, now stop with the bird talk and tell me what you did today?" We walk in and there is just Ana and I, good... "Where is everyone?"

"I don't know I just got in myself." I take off my jacket and turn up the cuffs on my shirt, free the tie and head to our room, I need to get out of this damned suit and tie.

"Come on, we need to change and have some us time. Did I tell you I missed you?"

"Once or twice Christian, once or twice, yes you did."

"Good, now get to our room and show me how much you missed me Baby."

"I'm sure I don't know what you mean Mr Grey..." She runs ahead of me and I play chase, god I have never felt as childish as I do right now. Keep away acne or I swear I will lose the plot. The great doors slam as we get in our room and I hear my siblings arguing, I close the door on their rant and stalk my woman, who knows just how to strip seductively for me, fuck me does she...

"Ana..."

"Christian, you are still fully clothed... Strip before I whip your butt." Now there's an image in my kinky brain.

"Yes please Mistress Anastasia..." Fuck her face has a look of something I have not seen before, she is afraid... "Ana, I was joking, well sort of, I mean I liked the idea, I really did just get carried away."

"Okay, I mean I was shocked too, do you want to, I mean try the other stuff with me?"

"No, no I don't, I like what we do, I love what we do and I need what we do."

"You do?"

"I do, and only with you and only what makes you comfortable."

"I like the butt slaps and you holding me down and you being bossy. I just don't know about the other stuff. The things in Escala were beautiful, I told you that, but some were a little daunting and the spikes were too harsh, I still can't believe you used them?"

"I didn't they were for show, some of the spikes are deathly, some are used as a pressure toy, they were never used as implements of your perceived torture Baby."

"Did any of them let you torture them, I read that some subs like to be tortured and beaten."

"Only one, and no, I didn't need that to get me off. When did this become a sit down talk, were we not hornie as hell and up for sex?"

"I still am, but I just needed clarification..."

"I need you in any form I can get Baby, whether it is just having a cuddle or being loud and rampant, I need you, just you Anastasia Steele... Now where were we?"

"Mid strip, and so far I like what I see Mr CEO Bigshot... Wow you did miss me..." I look down and yes, he has a mind of his own around my fiancée...

"It would seem so, now finish what you started woman and worship at my feet." I joke, but as she sashays out of her panties and flicks them at me, she then drops down to the floor and starts kissing my feet, fuck me this is hot... Her lips kiss my toes and I swear my dick smacks around like a flaying hose pipe. I watch as she kisses my toes, my foot and then works her way up my leg and my dick knows what's coming next and he is eagerly awaiting contact. I sway and stand as steadfast as I am able, I know I like what's coming next, because her first time doing this was a well deserved A+, now she could teach master classes.

"Do you want me to service your needs there Christian?"

"Fuck me yes..."

"Oh I do intend to Christian I do intend to..." She latches on and suckles at my head like a baby at feeding time, oh hell, oh fuck, oh god, oh hell yes...

"Ana, Ana yes Ana, yes oh yes oh yes... I want you to take me deeper..." I should have stopped whilst I was ahead and getting head... She stopped and pushed me onto the bed, what the fuck I was enjoying that. I didn't see the next thing happening until it was too late, her teeth were around my balls and she looked up like a wild dog; please don't bite my balls off Ana...

"If I need help in the sucking you off department Sir, I will ask, now shut up or I will have these for dinner, I have taken a fair few off today..."

"Oh god, don't I am attached to them..."

She grins and then winks and boy had she given me the heads up that she was gonna suck the fuckers, not bite them, it would have been good, how can that be so fucking good? I am now the one screaming in sheer pleasure; I am so close to safe wording it is untrue. She sucks and plays and rubs and pulls my shaft as she does, oh hell I want to stay silent, but I scream for more, me the winey submissive wants more. I get my more when she stands and then she straddles me. I am so close and then fuck me, she slams herself on my shaft and moves ever so slowly, all whilst savouring her own release, and how the hell did she get so close and on her own? I am owned...

"Baby yes hold it there breathe, breathe deeply," she is in some sort of mind warp thing, moving slowly and clenching me tighty within her core, she is in a trance and murmuring her delight "Baby I am gonna move here, please relax a little Baby," but she can't, she is in some sort of hypnotic state of mind and undulating on me and I have never seen anything like it, she is transfixed on the ceiling and her body moves on me and I watch, I am as mesmerised as she is, I hold the sheets tightly as she slowly circles my dick, releasing me and trapping me in like a rhythmical dance sort of thing and all done on my dick, the feeling is like all my Christmases have come at once. God she is good at this, she suddenly comes to as she gets her second orgasm, it must be painful as she grips me tightly within. Fuck me, this is every man's dream, to be eaten by a pussy and as crude as that sounds, not one shit do I give, this is a-fucking-mazing...

"Ana, calm down and breath, I'm gonna move you over." She is thrusting now and her hands are in her hair and she is frenzied, I can't move, because she has me pinned to the bed, as she crashes against me and is thrusting harder, all whilst clawing and rubbing, she begins to rock into me and I roll with it grunting and moaning for more. We are a sweaty mess of bodies and the heat is off the charts hot, I am so fucking close to exploding when she suddenly stops and as she does, she looks me in the eyes and smiles. Fuck me; she is possessed...

"Was that good enough Mr Grey, do you want to come now?" She twists my hardened nipples and suddenly lies down on me and rides me like a surf board, she moves up and down my body, the heat and the sweat has the lube her body needs to ride me horizontally. I had no time to answer or call out instructions, she was getting off again and this time I am there too, she thrusts as she slides on to me, off me and onto me harder and each in and out gets faster each time, I am delirious as she does it again and again. "Come for me Christian, and come for me now..." I follow her instructions and my body gives her it's all. I grunt and I cuss as my seed fills her, god I explode and as I do, she screams and collapses on top of me.

After a good ten minutes of just laying still on top of me, her head turns and her eyes stare into mine.

"Was that as good for you as it was for me?"

"I don't know Baby; we may have to do that again to make doubly sure. What the fuck got into you, not that I am complaining but hell woman that was..."

"...Different, very different, and amazing thank you, you need to leave me more often Christian."

"I would have to say fuck no, but coming back to Ana the possessed, after mere hours is okay, but I think I will never spend a week away because you would fuck me to death..."

"I wouldn't like to go a week, now that I've had amazing sex I now need it like I need air, you your sex and your dick only."

"Wow, how crude of you Miss Steele."

"Umm now carry me to the bath, we are a mess."

"A hot mess Miss Steele, in need of a quick shower, we need to eat before midnight." I look at the clock and its eleven o'clock and we have not eaten... "Ana we need food, it's late."

"Are you in Seattle again tomorrow?"

"No, at the mall all day, and you are doing the lady dogs tomorrow are you not?"

"I am, now carry me to the shower. My legs are all wobbly." We shower and head down, Elliot is nowhere to be seen, but Mia points at the cinema room, I head in and almost as soon as I open the door, I shut it again hopefully, unseen. I really need covers for the damned seats; they were naked going at it and watching porn on my big screen. My god what is it with the air here? I head back in to the kitchen Mia is baking, or rather has been baking.

"Mia, the heads up would have been nice."

"You are lucky, when I got in the olds were making out in the cosy lounge."

"What were you and Elliot arguing about?"

"Nothing, well nothing much..."

"Mia..."

"Okay I am going out on a date with Jose, he seems very nice. We have been drawing up my plans for Pass Me If You Can. He is very talented and cute. I happened to tell Elliot what I thought of Jose and he hit the big brother switch, telling me I can't do this and can't do that, for god's sake I'm your age Ana."

"Ha, you have met my brother haven't you?"

"Yes and he has warned off my brother or so Kate said, did he Chris?"

"No, well sort of, but was it a warning, no it was a polite fuck with my sister and remember I am a trained Marine and can hide a body thing. Let us not forget Elliot has equipment to dig a big hole and we are building a massive building big enough to hide everyone in town there in the footings."

"He forgets I am the same age as the woman who is hiding his tool in, in the cinema, I did go in and ask them to keep it down and I knocked on your door to ask you did you want dinner; if you did it's in the fridge and needs warming up. Gail and Taylor have taken Sophie into Seattle for new clothes and such; he says he will be back in the morning."

"Okay I got the text too. So Jose, where is he taking you little sister?"

"I don't know as there's not yet a lot of places to go to here. Perhaps we can just stay here and my brothers can sit and guard me?"

"Mia..." I am about to lose the plot when Ana holds my arm.

"Mia, what Christian is saying is, is that yes you are old enough to make your own choices as are Kate and I, but he can still care about you. Now, I suggest you go to Grays Harbour and visit the Grizzly Den, but there are loads of nice places to choose from there, the Grizzly does a mean Karaoke night."

"Thanks Ana, so the funding for the muffin and fudge cafe big brother..."

"Buying or renting Mia?" I ask; this will be the decider.

"Derr, buying because I hear some bigwigs are making this town the place to be and I am getting in at the ground level. So can you release my trust fund money pretty please?"

"Why would you buy it when I can just give it to you Mia?" Ana stops me dead in my blustering about responsibilities and planning.

"No Ana, why would you do that?"

"I am playing fast and loose with my families properties today. We really don't need them or the hassle that comes with them, as long as you make them work for you and the town, then consider them yours, use your money to reinvent the spaces."

"Ana, you are useless with owning things Baby." I say a little taken aback that she is giving Mia the two properties.

"Are you not glad now that I sold the banks to Philip? I am a giver not taker and as Gabe wasn't much into materialistic shows of wealth, I guess I inherited that from him too, as well as a suitcase full of paste jewellery, which I want to make into a chandelier for here, here in the grand entry, if I can I mean?" I look at the direction of her pointy finger and see a very old boat trunk.

"What's in there Ana?"

"I don't know, I apparently played dress up with some of it as a child, and judging from the look of it, it's like the stuff from Grandpa Wilkes, but what do I know of such things?"

"Can I look Ana I collect paste jewellery, old twenties stuff is very collectable."

"Sure help yourself Mia..."

"Ana here eat this and we can watch the expert on gem stones." I pass Ana her dinner and we sit and eat as Mia opens the pirate's trunk.

"Ana did you just dump it in here, or did you find it like this?" Mia is lifting a handful out and separating them.

"Well, it may have been in shoe boxes, there were about a dozen or so, well is it paste?"

"Give me a second, some looks real, pass me my bag please Ana..." I get up and pass it her instead. She takes out an emery board, so shoot me I have seen the nail things before.

"Here, what are you going to do?" She smiles as she rubs the diamond gently. She places it in a pile and I look on and return to eating, Ana watches too and we eat Mia's ravioli, it is very good too. When we, Ana and I stop making gooey eyes at each other, we look up and there are three piles then Mia gets to the bottom of the trunk and smiles, as she scratches at a ring, finally I can take no more. "What are you doing Mia?"

"This pile I think are real, those are paste and these I think may be gemstones and not diamonds. The paste ones have been scratched with the emery board and have left a tiny set of scratches, a real deal diamond you cannot mark, just as if you breathe on them a real diamond does not fog up, these do, these don't, and those I am not sure about."

"Wow, so that pile there are real, as in really real?" Ana asks.

"Umm and this chunky thing is a big black diamond, it is very nice and very expensive, you'd need to get them tested, but I would say there's some old stuff in here and nice stuff too, get Christian's guy to look at it. He buys enough of the bling, so should know what's real and not real."

"By all means I will take all the jewels you have and have them valued and assessed Baby, do you still want a chandelier making?"

"Yeah, but out of the cheap stuff, there is no way I am putting up diamonds only to cast rainbows everywhere, that's more of a thing for later on in perhaps a nursery." I know I gulped, no way is the new me ready for a new me or a new little Ana, just not yet anyway. I see kids in my future with her, but not yet. She winks, she had me fooled for a minute then.

"Diamonds, they do not sparkle rainbows; they have a gray tinge about them." Mia says as she places a tiara on her head. "I like this and it is not real, it is costume diamonds, but very pretty all the same. It's all nice really. Now, I have had a long day and I am retiring for the night. Sleep tight."

"Thanks Mia."

"You are welcome and think about a fair price for the buildings Ana, ask your father and brothers first."

"I will, but like me they hate the burden this is placing on us, so they are leaving it to me."

"Okay, but I think I'd like to pay my way Ana. Think about it and advise her Chris, or she will be broke within a year."

"Mia, to do that I'd have to buy the whole town and several along Olympic Highway even to make a dent in what we have, especially when we hear what the goldmines are worth. Why Mae even stooped as low as she did to get more, when she had more hidden away, you know with the drugs and the girls, you know it makes my blood boil."

"I don't know Ana, you'd have to ask her why? Anyhow I'm off to bed, keep it down you were loud too but muffled." Ana blushed, as Mia passed us and went to bed.

"Christian, get three teams in at Appleby Farm, I want this place to ourselves, and you said it was soundproofed too?"

"It is, but we were lost in the moment for like three hours and really loud and our screams were very loud and real." I smile as she bangs her head on the breakfast bar.

"Opps..."

"Opps indeed; it was a very, very nice opps, actually. I will take that lot and the others to see Gianni, my jeweller, he will sort it all out for you and perhaps Gia can recommend someone to hand design a light fitting for here, using the semi-precious and paste jewels?"

"Who is Gia?"

"Gia is the woman who does my interiors at most of my places, she did this place, she knows my tastes and knows what I do and don't like."

"Talking of do and don't like, would you wear a ring, if I got you one, a male engagement ring, a keep your hands off him, he's taken ring, if I got you one?"

"Yes Baby, I would, why have you got something in mind? I am not a diamond guy, unless it's at least 15 carets."

"What? I mean do they do diamonds for men, don't answer of course they do, tie pins, rings and cufflinks and all the other gubbins, no, I wanted to give you something that meant a lot to Gabe and I sort of found something I liked."

"Okay, I sort of found something I liked too today, how about we swap?"

"That's really a great proposal Christian, how about we swap?"

"You have already asked me to marry you Baby, did you forget? Did you forget we are already tied together and are married in our personal pagan hand tying ceremony Anastasia?"

"No, no I didn't it was only the other night."

"Okay then, where's my ring, because I have yours here? Crap no, no I don't, hold that thought, it's in my jacket, where did I take it off?" I rush to the entrance and it's there, thank god it's where I put my bags and jacket when I came in, thank fuck or that would have been a couple of million lost...

"Can we do this in the bedroom please Ana?"

"Yes please, I mean we could take a walk to where we tied the knot?" I smile and think of her pink painted escape from her brothers and the thrice christened tree house and grin.

"No, I think the bedroom is the nice way to seal the deal... Don't you?"

"Umm, I do Christian, I really do, now carry me up please and be gentle, my hu-hu is sore for some reason I might add, it feels a little over used."

"It was rather a nice evening spent. Over used, I think it's about to get used again."

"God my man is so romantic."

"I am where you are concerned."I carry my bride to be to our bedroom. Who would have thought it, I am getting married, would that I could whisk her away and do it now, but no, she needs to have the day marked as a happy day not a rushed one, like we have to get married. I carry her bride style, fittingly enough. I place her on the bed and kneel. I flip open the box and I see she likes it, good...

"Anastasia Rose Steele, please do me the very great honour of marrying me, will you please love me forever and raise a family with me, here in my adopted home?"

"Oh heck, I thought you'd just give me the ring, not make me cry too. Of course I will marry you." I place the ring on her finger and watch as she stares at it.

"I like the yellow of the diamond it's so very pretty and beautiful, its perfect, just like the man who gave it to me. Thank you, thank you, oh heck, thank you." She kisses me and cries. I stare at her and get a fuzzy feeling in my chest, am I having a heart attack, god I get what I need and I am dying... Fuck no...

"Breathe deeply Mr Grey, you are having a panic attack, darling breathe, breathe in slowly, in and out, in and out. Now, where were we, umm yes stopping you dying and giving you this...?" She places a very unusual ring on my finger, it's almost certainly Celtic but the pains in my chest are killing me too much to notice, Ana calms me down and I continue to breathe in and out and stare at the ring. I am owned and suddenly I breathe deeply and it doesn't hurt, I breathe in and out and the joy I feel is out of this world and different than anything I have ever felt before, then I get a memory of an angel in white holding me and smelling like flowers, so pretty and clean, I have had this feeling of being safe before, the night my mom saved me, she held me and told me I was a brave little man, her brave little man, oh hell I cry again like I am that four year old child again, happy to be safe and to be loved. The only difference this time, I know there is nobody waiting to harm me, my drugged up crack whore of a mother is dead and her pimp was killed in a drive by. Here I have Ana, here I am safe, here is my Ana and I am loved.

"Hey, what are you crying for I haven't proposed yet?"

"There is nothing you can say now that can beat how I am feeling right now Baby, nothing on earth."

"Okay then, I was going to say, will you please let me love you forever, be the mother to your children, eventually, will you stop with me until we are the old and gray Grey's?"

"Yes Baby old and Gray Greys, that's us, now can we cuddle, or can we be rude and loud?"

"I think loud, crude and the cuddling is good for me handsome..."

"That's handsome fiancé, if you please, this ring is stunning. Whose was it?" I look at it and smile.

"I think it was my great grandfathers judging from the inscription inside, its Gallic and says 'mo chéadsearc, meaning my first true love, I remember reading this on a tomb stone at Gabe's place. His grandfather and mother have it on their joint stone, that's whose ring it was, Gabe wore it on a necklace all the time I knew him, I found it when I searched out his things. I used to fall asleep holding it, but off his neck it looked different. He always said your first love is a true love and you are mine. He can't have loved Mae, but he did love my mother, I wonder if she was destined to be his one true love, he said it to her you know all the time, mo chéadsearc..." She cries as she hugs me.

"And Ana you are my first true love Baby and now I am not having a heart attack, how about we make love into the early hours of the morning?" We did, and boy did I feel the love, as we fell asleep, locking our arms in each others...

Ana's POV:

As I wake up I feel different, I feel loved, no that's stupid, I felt loved before, I feel a part of something more than love I feel a part of something wonderful, I feel a part of a couple, the other half of me has been found. I turn and the other half of me is not there, where the hell is he? I feel the bed and it is cold. Okay then, where is my fiancé? I look at the clock and damn and blast I'm bloody late for surgery. I get up and shower put on my clothes and head down. Christian is sat at the table and has a breakfast fit for a queen before him and I am ravenous, can I be bad mannered and just grab a bagel to go? No, the reason being my family are here, as are every one of his, when did Grace and Carrick get here and why are they here?

"Surgery is being covered, and Samantha is assisting the boys, who are only too happy to take over for an hour or two. Ana sit please, or stand whilst we make our announcement to our family."

"Ana, am I getting another grandbaby?" My father says; crap, where is his off switch?

"No Daddy, not yet, make do with Adam and Georgia's little one and Grace I can get you a poodle too, just like Granny?" They all laugh.

"Last night I asked Ana to marry me, she said yes officially, we have the rings and we have our parent's blessings, so we want to through a party for the town to celebrate and to spread our joy. I have Violet and the ladies fixing the food and we have Adam and his band playing, so on Saturday, before Ana and I head to London, we would like to throw a barn dance thing in the Big Red? What do you say Ana?"

"I say thank you, but what about the good folks of Seattle?"

"Stuff them..." I look agog at Grace; did she really just say that? "I have been asked to step aside from my book groups and my social committees; word has it around the bimbos and brain dead of Seattle, that I am losing my marbles. I told the hospital I am retiring as of today; I with the help of my replacements, packed my things and went home. I am now officially retired from the hospital."

"Why, why did they do that to you?" I ask.

"Elena, she put the word around her trusted friends, that I had a few health issues, mental issues, she showed them her scars and told them Christian had robbed her of her stores, as revenge for her hitting me back in self-defense, and they believed that haggard old shrew and I am madder than a... I don't know what I am madder than, but I am. Happy too actually, because it means they won't be sweeping in down here to our piece of paradise. So eat up and show me the ring, err rings, sorry I see you are a marked man Christian?"

"I am and so will the old hag..." He said the last bit under his breath, crap the old shrew is going down, she hurt his momma and she will pay for it too...

"I got it, I'm madder than a dyslexic Satanist who just realized they sold their soul to Santa!" We all laugh as she then fawns over my ring. Dad sees the ring Christian has on and smiles, he then shows him his and Adam and Ash add in the third and the forth.

"Welcome to the Clan Appleby son. It is an old clan and a good clan, that ring was left for Ana to give to her true and only love, it is only removed upon death to be passed on to the next of the clan, morbid I know but it's an Appleby tradition, Slainte son, and look after her, because we..."

"...Oh, I know this one Ray, 'you know where to hide the bodies'..."

"Mia, think about what you have just said dear, think of the girls who..."

"Awe fluey, the first time I get something right and it's at the wrong time and in bad taste aww shucks..."

"We knew what you meant sweetheart, don't worry..." My dad hugs Mia and smiles. "Here's to Ana and Christian; long may they be happy and in love." Our family approve and they all cheer as does Eliot and Kate. They are happy too, who knew we would both find love with two brothers? Thank you Gabe, for sending them to town...
