Hi everyone, I really don't want to waste time writing about Dr. Green so Ana is now on the pill and Christian no longer needs condoms. Yay!
Dear iamkaren10 and devangel6,
Well done! You noticed how young one Mr. Noah Shepherd is and I intend to fill in some blanks regarding the new, hot-looking and much younger CEO that is Noah Shepherd.
27ShadesOfElliePotter,
You're so sweet, your review made my day! You've been with me since the beginning along with jcp77, GreysFan4Evr, Future -Styles, Irisheyes49, missd1985, peetame and mrsdamon. Had it not been for all your kind reviews in Chapter 1 & 2, I would have assumed that this story was not meant to be and it's your reviews (as well as my other loyal reviewers and followers) that inspire me to keep going.
Thank you so much!
Rosie

Holy crap, he's going to kiss me! I quickly turn my face and his kiss lands on my cheek. I feel myself blushing, my face is burning hot!
"Noah, I'm sorry. I can't do this...We can't do this. Christian is my world, he is it for me." As I say the words thinking of my man I cannot help but smile because I love him so very much. I continue to say to Noah, "I love Christian. I love him very much."
Noah sighs, he looks crestfallen, "Of course you love Christian. Everyone loves Stroke!" He says in such a dejected manner.
"I'm really sorry Noah. If I've ever given you any indication that I am interested in you I apologize. It was not my intent."
Geez, this is awful! What is it with me and these CEO's? I really don't get it! Noah is so handsome, Christian is beyond gorgeous and he loves me. I don't get it.
"Ana, you do not need to apologize. You've done nothing other than just be yourself." He says in a soft whisper as he rubs his face with his hands.
"Be myself? What does that mean?" I say without thinking.
"Ana, are you blind or something?! You're fucking beautiful! But it's not just your looks, I've known many beautiful women and they cannot hold a candle to you! You're sweet and kind, you're smart, you're everything that I..."
"Noah, please stop. You're making me uncomfortable. I wasn't fishing for compliments."
"I know that Ana, you're not that type of person. I'm so sorry Ana, I hope you can forgive me. I'm under a bit of stress as I have someone that is attempting to purchase LBP. They are attempting a hostile take over."
"Oh no, I'm sorry Noah. I hope that doesn't happen. I really do enjoy working at LBP."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. My people are on it and I have the best people and the very best lawyers at my disposal."
"I really need to go, I'm meeting Christian for dinner, what time is it?" I ask as I check my cell phone.
Shit! It's five! Where has the time gone?!
"Noah, let's just forget this happened. We'll start fresh on Monday. I'm going to meet Christian for dinner. Have a great week-end!" I say as I stand to leave.
CPOV
I head towards the dining area set up for the symposium conference, I see many people headed out. Sawyer is standing outside.
"Sawyer," I say as I nod.
"Mr. Grey, Miss Steele has not left the dining area."
"Thanks Sawyer, I'll take it from here. Taylor is with me, we will more than likely have dinner here in the hotel so you can take the rest of the evening off."
"Yes Sir."
I look around for Ana and I see her rise as she leaves a table. Damn my woman has the cutest ass! She looks hot in those jeans!
Shepherd is with her, ever the gentleman, he rises as well. I quickly make my way over as Shepherd sees me coming.
"Stroke," he nods.
"Shepherd," I say.
Ana quickly turns and launches herself at me, catching me completely off guard. She's small but damn she's a strong little thing! I wasn't ready for her actions and I take a step back.
That's my Ana, always unpredictable, I do not control her and at times like this...I fucking love it!
"Christian, I've missed you!" My baby says as she covers me with kisses.
You paying attention Shepherd? She's mine!
"Mmmmm, I missed you too baby." I purr as I kiss her back. "How did everything go? Did you have a good time?"
"It was very interesting but I am ready to go home, to go home with you Christian." She says as we walk away arm in arm.
I love it! My baby completely forgot to say good-bye to Shepherd! We take a few more steps and she realizes that she forgot to bid Shepherd adieu, of course she remembers and turns quickly to look at him, she waves and says, "Bye Noah, see you Monday."
Shepherd looks sad, that's right fucker. You don't have a chance in hell. No one does! Anastasia belongs to me! I lower my grasp from my baby's waist and squeeze her perfect little ass. I'm hoping Shepherd is still looking at us.
As we continue to walk I feel Ana grab my ass! What the fuck?! She takes a nice, long, hard squeeze! I look down at her, she looks up at me and smiles a most innocent smile. My Angel's halo is gone, she has naughty thoughts on her mind. Perhaps we'll eat later, I have to feed my soul first!

Thursday Night Dinner with The Greys
APOV
It's been almost one week since I discovered that Noah is the owner of LBP and since he declared his feelings for me. I've tried to push that conversation out of my head and I know that Noah is really trying as well.
Things seem to be going fine, I do at times catch him looking at me. I can't help but feel sad for him. He has the same look on his face that Jose had when he found out that Christian was my boyfriend.
Why is life so complicated? Oh to fly away to Neverland...with Christian by my side of course!
I'm looking forward to Saturday. Coping Together is hosting a regatta at Lake Union. I know this is Christian's doing. We are going to make our first official public appearance together. I am grateful that it's going to be a casual affair rather than the black tie events that Christian usually attends.
We are having dinner with The Greys this evening. I really enjoy spending time with Christian's family. Christian said that it's something he does out of respect for his parents. He doesn't really enjoy these family dinners or so he said when we initially met.
We pull up to Bellevue and I love that I no longer feel nervous about visiting the Greys. Kate and Elliot will be joining us as well. It will give me an opportunity to have a little bit of girl time with Kate.
As we sit down for dinner Kate lets us know that she is getting closer to breaking her big story. For now the only thing she will say is that Elliott is connected to the story in some way.
I miss my girl time with Kate, she must be reading my mind because she asks me, "Ana, when are we going out? We need to catch up. I miss you Steele!"
I feel Christian who was previously massaging my thigh immediately tense up. The man takes control freakery to an entirely different level!
I whisper in his ear, "Christian, I'm being really nice here and I'm telling you before I tell Kate, I am going to ask her to go out with me tonight. Just for a drink or two. Don't worry, you know I'm a Pepsi girl. Don't make this an issue Grey, I miss my girlfriend and I'm going out with her. End of story."
He whispers back, "You are the most maddening woman I know. I can see there is no stopping you, so I will acquiesce. I gave Sawyer the night off so Taylor will take you. Don't argue with me woman. That's the only way I will have piece of mind." He says in his domineering voice.
He sounds so hot when he speaks to me like that!
"Agreed," I say as I reach under the table and rub his length.
"Ana, don't tease me. I may have to take you to my bedroom." He moans in my ear.
"Hey love birds, what are you two up to?" Mia asks as she ruins our moment.
"Nothing that concerns you Mia," Christian says as he gives her a pointed stare.
"Oh relax Christian, I just love seeing you happy big brother." She squeals.
Now's my chance, "Kate, what do you say you and I have some girl time tonight?"
"You mean it Steele? That would be great. We can go check out the latest hot spot. Caribbeansbride! What do you think?"
"I'm all for it," I say and with that, we all say our good-byes. Elliott takes Christian home while Taylor takes us to our destination.
We are seated at a table with Taylor sitting near by. Kate immediately starts with inquisition.
"Ok Steele, what's going on? We've not had five minutes alone since you've came back from Georgia then you move in with Mr. Control Freak! What's the deal Ana?!"
I'm about to answer her question when I see Luke sitting at a table and the girl he is sitting with looks so familiar but I can't make her out, how do I know her...then it hits me.
Holy shit it's SusieCC! Luke is on a date with SusieCC! I didn't recognize her with clothes on! Well, with for lack of a better word civilian clothes. She still looks hot, even without the leather Dominatrix outfit! I can't help but smile! They make an interesting and very attractive couple. I'm definitely going to ask Luke about this!
"Hello, Earth to Ana? Come on Steele, give it up girlfriend!"
"I'm in love Kate." That's all I can manage to say.
"Well no shit Steele, both you and Christian are head over heels. It's so obvious the man adores you." She says in a bit of a cautious tone if I'm not mistaken.
"Kate, do you really see it in him? I mean, you know...that he loves me?" I ask thinking about all the women that ogle and eye fuck my man. I'm only human and although I know he loves me I still find it intimidating at the number of women that want my Christian.
"Steele, how many times do I have to tell you? You are a total babe! You have no freakin' clue how beautiful you are! Look around you, see that hottie over there? He's been eyeing you since we walked in. Mr. Professional over there has also been checking you out. Oh and there's..."
"Excuse me ladies," say the waiter as he places some fancy looking cocktails in front of us. "These are from the gentleman over to the right. With his compliments. He said you are a lovely vision, beautiful and unassuming, unique qualities that usually do not go hand in hand."
Kate and I look over to the table on the right and we see a very hot looking guy in a business suit.
"You see that Steele, you're hot. He bought us drinks. Let's go over and thank him." She says as she takes my hand and drags me over.
"How do you know he's talking about me Kate? You're the hot babe."
"Look Steele, I know am hot but I am not unassuming in way shape or form. Of course he's talking about you. Now let's go."
"Kate, no this isn't a good..."
"Hi," Kate purrs. "Ana and I wanted to thank you for buying us our drinks."
"Won't you join me" He says as he makes room for us.
Geez, this is so embarrassing!
"I'm Kate and this is my very best girlfriend Ana, and you are?"
"My name is Peter, it's very nice to meet you ladies," he says as he extends his hand.
"Peter, I don't mean to be forward...well, actually I do. I'm just trying to prove a point here. Would you humor me please?"
"I'm intrigued Kate, sure. Go ahead."
"That was very kind of you to buy us drinks, but let's be perfectly honest. You weren't trying to make time with me were you? You're interested in my friend here." It's a statement rather than a question.
I'm blushing and quickly say, "I'm sorry Peter, my friend has had one too many tonight. We will be on our way now and thanks for the drinks." I say as I take Kate's hand.
"Come on Kate, your tipsy and it's time to go."
"I may be a little buzzed but I know of what I speak!" She says as she giggles.
"Ana," Peter shouts as he rushes to catch up to us, "She's right, you know. I felt your presence as soon as you walked in. Here's my card, call me. Perhaps I can take you out sometime." He says as he hands me his business card and then he looks to Kate.
"Thanks Kate, I don't think I would have had the nerve to approach Ana," then he looks into my eyes and says, "Your beauty is quite intimidating Ana." He leaves me with that comment. He's probably had too much to drink as well.
I take one last look back and I see Luke and SusieCC making out like teenagers! Holy shit! Get a room you two!
Taylor approaches and says, "Need a hand Ana?"
"Thanks Taylor, let's get Kate home. Oh and Taylor?"
"Yes Ana."
"Here, take this." I say as I hand him Peter's business card.
Taylor looks confused, "Someone wanted to take me out to dinner." I say impassively.
Taylor smiles, he knows I love Christian.
"Taylor," Kate says in between giggles, "You sure are the best looking bodyguard I've ever seen."
"Yes ma'am, thank you. Let's get you in the car." Taylor says as he blushes.
Taylor blushing?! Who knew?!
After we drop Kate off I text Christian.
*On my way back home, see you in a bit :D
Christian texts back.
*I can't wait
Three little words and I am ready to pounce. I can't get home soon enough!
***Time Break***
Friday Morning
APOV
Thank goodness the week-end is almost here! I am looking forward to The Coping Together Regatta that will be held tomorrow.
Christian left for work early as he had a breakfast meeting, so it will just be Sawyer and I this morning. I think I'll have some fun with him.
As we head towards the car I ask Sawyer if may join him up front. I feel strange riding alone in back. He of course says it's fine and I begin my fun.
"How was your night off Sawyer? You get so few of them since you have to babysit little old me."
Sawyer smirks and says, "I don't consider protecting you as 'babysitting' Ana. I take my job very seriously."
"I know Sawyer, I'm sorry. I just hope you make the best of your time off is all."
"You're not going to believe this but Mr. Control Freak actually gave me 'permission' to go out with my girlfriend Kate last night."
Sawyer laughs at the name I've given Christian.
"I hope you had protection detail Ana."
"Of course I did, you know Christian wouldn't let me out with out security. Taylor was with me. Kate wanted to go to this new hot spot Caribbeansbride. Ever heard of it?"
I notice Sawyer tense up.
"Something wrong Sawyer?" I ask with a Cheshire cat smile.
"You saw me there didn't you? You are just waiting to get a rise out of me, aren't you Ana? You are so bad!"
We both laugh.
"Yes, I saw you with the lovely Miss SusieCC. So tell me, did you enjoy yourselves? It sure looked like it from what I gathered."
"We had a lovely time, that's all I'm going to say."
"Oh no you don't, I want details. Or at least just tell me this. Is she appropriately named 'CC?' Don't hold back on me Sawyer."
Sawyer is trying to remain impassive but a slow sly smile spreads across his face.
"So, SusieCC kept you 'Constantly Coming' didn't she?"
"I'm a gentleman Ana, I'm not saying a thing."
"Mmmhmm. You don't have to Sawyer, your smile says it all! When are you going to see her again? Hmm?"
"On my next day off." He says quickly.
"Oh, so it's serious."
"Ok, enough with the inquisition Ana, you're here. Let's go."
"Ok, fine. Thanks Sawyer."
CPOV
My days used to mesh together, work day, week-end, it really didn't matter as I am always working, I'm either at GEH or my home office.
Since Ana has entered my life, I am becoming familiar with the days of the week. There are these days called Saturday and Sunday. These are considered 'non-working' days. Who knew?! I never looked forward to these 'non-working' days until one Miss Anastasia Rose Steele came into my life. If I could, I would pay any amount of money for another non-working day. Two days aren't enough for me.
I'm lost in my thoughts of my Ana. God I love her so much! I've never been happier in all my life. Then again, I don't think I've ever been happy, well, not truly happy the way I am with my Ana.
My fund-raiser for Coping Together is tomorrow, I need to touch bases with my coördinator Cynthia Setti. She is my 'other' right hand (like Ros) when it comes to putting these regattas together.
"Andrea!" I shout but don't get a reply. Odd, she's usually in my office within half a second. "Andrea!" Dammit, where the hell is she?
Suddenly a young woman walks in the door.
"Who the fuck are you? Where the fuck is Andrea or quivering Olivia?!"
"Sir, I'm Lori. Lori Robbins, remember. I'm filling in for quiver... er I mean I'm filling in for Olivia, she's currently in rehab for her caffeine addiction."
"Oh yes, Lori. Sorry about that. My mind is preoccupied at the moment."
Christ, she's drooling over me. I swear to God this shit gets so old!
"Lori! Snap out of it! I need for you to get Cynthia Setti on the line for me. Can you do that?"
"Er, um yes Mr. Grey. I'll get right on it."
I see Andrea right behind Lori and I'm sure Andrea is going to read Miss Lori the riot act. I fucking hope so. It's just a fucking face!
"Lori, come with me. Now!" Shouts Andrea as they walk out of my office.
My office phone rings, it's Andrea. "Sir, I have Miss Setti on the line for you."
"Put her through."
"Christian, how are you?"
"I'm fine Cyndi, how are you. Is everything coming together as planned?"
"Of course, you know I got a handle on this. Everything is fine."
"Great, I can always count on you. Listen, are you sitting down?"
"I am now, what's going on Christian?"
"I'm bringing my girlfriend Anastasia Steele to the regatta and I..."
"Whoa wait a minute, your what? Did you say your girlfriend?!"
"Yes dammit! My girlfriend and no, I'm not gay. Now can we move on? I want to do something special for Ana and I need your help..."
APOV
It's almost lunch time and I decide to go visit Christian. I cannot seem to get my fill of him. Since he's introduced me to sex it seems as though I cannot get enough of him. I walk outside and Sawyer is waiting.
"GEH Ana?"
"Of course." I say as I smile.
I'm a little ashamed to say that I love going to GEH now. I'm treated so much better than I was the first time, the time I was considered a security breach. It's like I'm some sort of VIP or something. Then again, I am 'Christian Grey's Girlfriend' and I'm sure Mr. Control Freak has made it perfectly clear as to how I shall be treated.
I'm whisked away without question as everyone knows where I'm headed. Some women nod and smile, looking at me with such envy. Some of the women do not make any attempt to hide their scowling faces. I smile at them as well.
Might as well kill them with kindness. I forgot to check myself in the mirror at LBP so I let Sawyer know that I need to go powder my nose.
When I enter I hear someone crying. She's sitting on the chaise lounge. Wow, these bathrooms are pretty fancy! I feel uncomfortable but I cannot simply ignore her.
I sit next to her and ask, "Hey there, are you alright? Is there something I can do for you or someone I should call?"
She looks up at me and says, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Do you work here? I'm sorry, I'll be on my way. I didn't mean to inconvenience you."
"Hey, hey it's fine. No, I don't work here. I'm just here...on business." I say as I don't want her to know who I am. I hope Christian didn't fire her.
"What's wrong?"
"I guess I can tell you since you don't work here. Promise you won't say anything? I don't want to lose my job."
"Of course."
"Well, I've been working here at GEH for about six months and I finally have the opportunity to move up the business ladder. I'm taking the place of someone who is out on leave for...personal reasons. Anyway, I'm sure you know who Mr. Grey is."
"Yes, I'm familiar with the name and the person."
"Well then you must know the man is...well, he's just so damn hot! All the women here just wait for the hour that he walks in and they all freeze, myself included. He walks in, in that self-assured way that has us drooling and he has no clue! He completely ignores us and ignores all women who come into his proximity, no matter how beautiful they are. So Like I said, we stare and I'm sure we are all daydreaming wishing he was our boyfriend. It's the strangest thing, he has this magnetic pull. Once he's out of our sight, it's business as usual."
It is so hard to sit here and try to comfort this Lori person while she bares her soul to me about how hot my man is!
"So what does this have to do with you crying?"
"Well, Mr. Grey called Andrea into his office only she wasn't available. I went in to see what he needed. As soon as I walked in I lost all my senses, with exception of my sight. I was literally frozen, like a deer in headlights. He had my hypnotized by his beautiful face. I know he asked me something but I did not hear him."
"Oh, go on."
"Well, by then Andrea returned and she put two and two together. She knew I was drooling and that Mr. Grey has no patience for that. He's got a girlfriend and apparently he's got it real bad for her. He won't even look at another woman."
Oh, I am so glad I came here after all. I do need to hear this.
"That's interesting, though it still doesn't explain why you are crying." I say as I try not to smile, he won't look at another woman. Yes!
"Well, Andrea yelled at me and said that Mr. Grey cannot stand when women stare or ogle him and stupid me, I did it right to his face! So here I sit crying, hoping and praying that I don't get...holy shit! What the hell is wrong with me! Shit! Now I know I'm going to be fired. I signed an NDA!"
Now Lori really starts to cry.
"Lori, stay here. Don't move. I'll be right back."
I head straight towards Christian's office, I walk in and Christian is on the phone, he looks at me and says to the person on the phone, "I'll call you back."
"Hey there baby." He says as we approach each other. "What a nice surprise," He kisses me and my knees go weak. What this man can do to me...and apparently he has the same effect on the women in his office!
"Christian, I need to ask you something."
"What is it?" He asks as he runs his hands through his hair.
"Did you fire a Lori Robbins today?"
"Lori? Oh, you mean Olivia's replacement? Not that I know of, let me check with Andrea." He presses a button.
"Please don't fire her. She can't help it if she stares at you. You're gorgeous Christian and as much as I would like you to get rid of any woman that ogles you, I don't think it's good for business. Lori is in the powder room crying."
"Mr. Grey, may I help you?"
"Andrea, did you fire Lori for gaping at me?"
"Er, no sir. I just scolded her."
"Well, apparently she's in the bathroom crying. Please console her and tell her that she is not fired. Aside from the gaping I think she will be an excellent replacement for Olivia. Lori doesn't quiver, I like that."
"Yes sir, will there be anything else? Should I order lunch for two?"
Christian looks at me, I smile and nod.
"Yes please and I don't want to be disturbed, hold all my calls. That's all."
I look at my man and I want to him to fuck me now and fuck me hard. He is such a hot looking in command and always in control CEO.
"What is it Ana?" He asks as he leads me to his chair and has me sit on his lap.
"Christian," I say as I rub my butt against his growing arousal and he moans as he moves my hair to the side and kisses my neck. "I love watching you in action."
"You're the only one who can see me in action baby."
"No," I giggle, "Not like that, though I do enjoy that as well. I'm talking about watching Christian Grey, the CEO at work. I could never work for you Christian. It would be too distracting. You are without a doubt the hottest man alive, you dress to kill, you are so smart and you know just what to do to get me hot, horny and wet. I'm always ready for you to take me Mr. CEO, anytime, anywhere."
CPOV
Fuck! Just when I think my Ana can't surprise me she does it again with her words!
We need to fuck now and hard!
"Ana baby turn around, I want you to straddle me." I say as she gets up and I unzip my pants and free my throbbing cock.
She quickly does as she's told, "Wait, before you straddle me, take off your panties," I say as I start to lose my control.
She quickly straddles me and whispers in my ear, "I already have, I took them off in the powder room." She moans as she leans down and kisses my neck.
Fuck! I thank the heavens above for sending me my Angel, my Ana, my love.
She backs up and unbuttons her blouse and lifts it off, I quickly undo her bra and her beautiful breasts are free. I lean forward and take her pink nipple in my mouth, I lightly bite and suck while my hand squeezes and kneads her other breast.
Ana moans and arches her back in pleasure. She tips her head back and she lets her hair down. She is the most desirable woman there is. I cannot get enough of her. I love my Ana so much. Thank you God! Thank you!
"Mmmm...Oh Christian, I love you, I love how you make me feel."
"Ana, my Ana," I moan.
I'm about to shift so she can lower herself on me when she jumps off and kneels in front of me. I don't have time to react. She takes me in her mouth.
"Christ Ana! You really are a machine. What you can do with your smart mouth, I fucking love it Ana."
"Christian," She moans in between licking me like a fucking lollipop, "I love that I can make you feel so good with just my mouth and my tongue. It's such a turn on for me. I love sucking your dick." She moans as she continues to love my cock.
I lean back in my chair and let Ana love me. She takes all of me in her mouth and I swear she sucks me so hard and intense that I feel like my cock is shriveling!
Fuck!
"Ana, please. I want to be inside you baby."
She takes pity on the poor fuck who is putty in her hands.
She straddles me again and this time she positions her body so that she is lowering herself on my throbbing dick.
"Is this what you want Christian?" She asks as she's moaning.
Oh Christ, I hope she doesn't torture me again. I can't take it!
"Yes, please baby. Please!" I'm fucking panting.
"Oh yes. Mr. CEO, I want it to!" She shouts and lowers herself on me.
I feel her juicy wetness encase my cock and it feels fucking great. Ana grabs my hair and pulls hard as she lifts up and down against my thrusts. We are both moaning and grunting, she arches her back while I suck on her breast. She lets go of my hair, leans forward and scratches my back, I can feel her nails dig in through my dress shirt.
"Oh Mr. CEO, take me now, fuck me hard!" She commands.
We move faster and I thrust harder, I feel her shudder and my legs stiffen, I know it's coming and it feels so damn good. Ana knows my body so well, as she says, "Mr. CEO, come with me."
And like the dumb in love fuck that I am, I submit to her command and it feels fucking great!
We return to Earth and I hear Ana purr, "Christian," she says as she kisses my cups my face and looks into my eyes, she can see my soul. The soul that I thought I lost. "I love you so much Christian."
"Ana, my Ana, I love you baby." I don't want to move. I want to stay inside her forever.
"What are you thinking Christian?" She sighs.
"I'm thinking that I want to stay inside you forever." I sigh knowing I am the luckiest man in the world.
"Shit!" Ana jumps off of me and her pretty tits bounce, "I've got to get back to work! I'm going to be late." She says as she tries to put herself back together. She looks adorable, as she's freshly fucked!
"Ana," I say in my Dom voice. "You will eat baby."
She freezes in her tracks. "I love when you use that voice Christian, it's hot!"
"Perhaps I should use it more often." I purr.
"Indeed Mr. CEO. Indeed."
My phone buzzes, "Mr. Grey, your lunch is here."
"Send it in." I say once Ana is decent.
"Ana, you still have half an hour. Stay and eat." I command.
"Yes Sir," she purrs.
APOV
And with that, we enjoy our lunch together.
As I leave GEH I see Lori at her desk, I approach her and say, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. Keep up the good work and what was said between us will stay between us. Laters!"
Her jaw is on the floor however I do not wish to explain, I need to get back to LBP as I am running late!
I thought we were over due for a sex scene so I thought office sex would be fun, though I doubt I can top the previous sex scene in the playroom. As Rushmr stated, I raised the bar with that scene! :D
Lori Robbins is named after my follower and reviewer Lori66. I hope you like your character Lori! :)
Cheers,
Rosie
