Sorry for not updating sooner. Yesterday I had a bit of an accident. I went horseriding and he send me flying. I've got a badly twisted ankle and muscle-aches. But here's a chapter for you.

Chapter 36

By the time we finished one journal, it's almost sunrise and Ana hurries back to my bedroom. Since I've slept all day yesterday, I'm not tired and I have to be at GEH in an hour. I smile when I feel the pull to die coming from Ana. A whispered 'I love you' is the last thing she says to me.

I cover her up in blankets, after kissing her forehead and make my way into the shower to start my day.

With a spring in my step, we arrive at Grey House and I almost waltz into the lobby. Security and receptionists are gawking at me as if I've grown another head. They are used to me scowling at everyone and everything. Now I'm smiling and feel ridiculously happy.

Ros enters the elevator together with Jason and I. She's looking me up and down, to figure out what is different.

"I think you stunned the staff in the lobby with your chipper attitude. Watch out for a potential witch-hunt!" Ros laughs.

"They can try, but they won't succeed." I practically sing. God! What the fuck is this cheeriness?

"Who would have thought the big, bad Mr. Christian Grey could ever fall in love?" She grins.

I just sigh, like the lovesick fool I am and smile shyly at my second.

"I never thought I would." I confess "Never thought it would feel this good either."

"Welcome in the good part of life, Christian." Ros smiles at me.

"Yeah." I breathe.

The elevator dings and we step out together. Andrea is looking haggard as she looks up at us.

"Good morning, Mr. Grey, Miss Bailey." She puffs out.

"Good morning, Andrea. Are you alright?" I ask her.

"Since you let Olivia go, I've been experiencing trouble finding a new assistant. The ones I've asked are going to make googly eyes at you. As soon as I asked, their eyes glassed over and didn't hear a word I said after that." Andrea is scowling at nothing.

"Do you know anyone outside this building who could do the job without turning in a drooling mess?"

"I think I do. I will give her a call." And she's doing just that, picking up her phone and starts dialing.

I look at Ros and we roll our eyes simultaneously. It has always been like this. They want to work directly for me, because they think their chances of snatching me up will be improved. Well, good fucking luck with that!

"It's just a fucking face!" I say as soon as my office door closes.

"Ah, but it's also your worth. You are quite the catch, Christian." Ros says "That you have your looks, is a bonus in their eyes."

"Why do you think I never dated?" I ask. Not that Ros knows anything about the women I've had.

"Even if you had dates or call-girls, you've kept it a secret and that's your prerogative. You have found the woman of your dreams, even if you didn't know you dreamt of her." Ros says wisely. "Let's go to work, shall we?"

The day flies by, lunch has come and gone and around four-thirty I feel invigorated again. It takes me a second to realize that Ana has risen.

"Mr. Grey?" Andrea knock on my door.

"Enter!"

Andrea opens the door and is followed by another woman. The woman looks at me the same way as Andrea does, professional.

"Mr. Grey, I would like you to meet Angela Moore. With your permission I would like to make her my assistant." Andrea says.

After shaking her hand I tell her that she has a month to prove herself and welcome her to my company. Miss Moore will start the next day, Andrea is going to show her some of the things she does now.

"Andrea, I will be going home now. Make sure everything is in order for tomorrow." I tell her as I lock my office.

Jason is already waiting for near the elevator and we ride down together. I can't wait to get home!

As we drive into the garage of Escala, the sun is beginning to set and I can feel Ana getting more restless. It amazes me that I can feel her emotions and I wouldn't want to change anything about it.

As the elevator-doors open, she's standing in front of it with a smile. She's hiding in the shades, because there is still some sunlight coming in.

"What are you doing?" I ask her anxiously. Worried that she's going to burn right in front of me.

"I'm waiting for you." Ana bounces into my arms, wrapping her limbs around me and ignoring a chuckling Jason next to me.

"I can see that, but the sun is still somewhat up."

She pulls back a bit to scowl at me. "I know that, but it's to week to do any harm and I keep to the shadows. I haven't lived this long by being stupid, Christian."

Since her arms and legs are wrapped so tightly around me, I let go of her to take her face in my hands. Giving her a sweet peck on her mouth and walking with her to my bedroom, so I can change out of this blasted suit. Taking care to keep to the shadows. Don't want my girl to burn to a crisp.

Jason and Gail are smiling at us and seem to be genuinely happy for me. I know I can't feel any happier, than I do now.

"How was your day, Christian?" Ana asks me and I can sense that she really wants to know. Another first! Someone wants to know truthfully what's going on in my life.

"I've had a great day." I begin enthusiastically "Although, I think I scared everyone at GEH. They are used to me scowling and yelling."

Since Ana is still hanging on, her giggling reverberates through me. Making me chuckle right along with her.

"What have you been doing today? You were probably lazing around again." I tease her.

"I've got to rest sometime." She smiles that gorgeous smile of her. The one that sets me on fire.

"Well, I want to change out of this ensemble. Can you let go?" I run my nose along her jaw, making her take a shuddering breath.

"I can do that, but the real question should be, if I want to."

"I can work with that." Wedging my arms between us and start to loosen my tie. We keep looking at each other and I feel the switch in emotions within her. "Or would you like to do it?" My voice growing huskier with every word.

"Are you attached to this suit?" Ana raises an eyebrow at me. I shake my head and my clothes are nothing but scraps. "That's better. Now, pull on some other clothes, because you make me feel starving again."

She finally lets go of me and I'm left standing with a raging hard on as she makes her way out of the closet. With a speed and strength I didn't know I possess, I'm on her and wrap my arms around her from behind.

"Where do you think you're going?" I growl in her ears.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have given you my blood. You're getting faster." She muses. "Not to mention stronger."

"I like it." I breathe, as I start unbuttoning her fitted blouse, revealing more skin as I go. "I wouldn't want it any other way."

Ana reaches behind her, rubbing my hard on up and down. Making it difficult for me to hold still enough to undo her clothes. I push her blouse off her shoulders, only to make them stop at her elbows and start undoing her pants.

She lets go of me enough to drop everything from her body and steps back against me. I sweep her hair away from one shoulder, pressing my lips against her skin and my hands find the perfect mounds with hardened peaks. She rubs her ass on my cock in such a way, that it ends between her legs and coating me with her juices. It only serves to make me harder, especially with feeling her wanting me badly.

I push her on her hands and knees, take position behind her and slowly push in the tip. I still for a moment, only to be growled at by Ana. Before I can continue teasing her, she pushes back hard on me. The air leaves my body for a second with the force she used.

I take hold of her hips and start thrusting in earnest, because there is nothing that stops me or her. I look down at where we are connected, my cock drenched in her juices is the most exciting thing I've ever seen. I pull out of her completely, only to slam right back into her. Ana shoots a bit forward, but steadies herself quickly.

I love that I have the strength now to move her, without waiting for her to 'allow' it. Pulling out once more to turn her around, because I want to see all of her. She's gorgeous in any way, but when she comes is my favorite.

As we are both close, I delve right into her depths, grinding into her and making us both twitch every time our pelvises meet.

Wedging a hand between us, rubbing a thumb over her clit, her walls begin to contract around me and I know we are there. Ana grabs my neck and prepares my throat for the bite. As soon as her fangs pierce the skin, my balls tighten and I shoot my load inside of her as she clenches and twitches in her orgasm.

Lazily licking over the puncture wounds, healing them, we breathe each other in and lay on the floor of my closet in bliss.

My stupid stomach is making itself known again and reluctantly I lift myself off of Ana, taking her hand and pulling her up with me.

"I told you so." She giggles at me.

"You told me what?" I asked confused.

"That you should eat something. I'm full though." Her smile is one of being completely satisfied.

Without warning I throw her over my shoulder and take her to the bathroom to clean up.

Hand in hand we walk to the kitchen where Gail has my dinner ready for me, with a glass of wine. I thank her and start eating, as I'm extremely hungry.
