JANUARY 29TH 2012

"Every time I mention Kate and Elliot, you try to distract me." She huffs.

"Baby I'm not doing anything of the sort. If I recall correctly you were the one that said I was easily distracted earlier this evening." I argue. "So you can't be entirely surprised by the fact that I am distracted. You have nothing underneath that t-shirt." I move closer to kiss her and she jerks her head back.

"I am not giving in." Her eyes are clouded with lust. Yeah right.

"Are you sure about that?" She bites her lips trying to stop herself from whimpering. "Baby…open your legs for me." She shakes her head and crosses her legs at her ankle.

"Did Elliot plan on proposing to Kate during their holiday?" I ignore her and start pushing her t- shirt up her stomach, she promptly turns on her stomach, legs still crossed at her ankles.

"Ana…"

"Answer my question and can have whatever you want." The raw sensuality of her voice is temptation itself. I will not cave.

"I want you, I have wanted you all day, you are not going to deny me." I sound menacing but it does little to deter her, if anything I can smell her arousal coming off her in waves. She loves this game and so do I.

I get off the bed and stand to the side glaring menacingly at her, I slowly pull the tie on my pajama bottoms letting it drop around my ankles, my dick stands proud ready for her. "We both know you will give in, so why put up a fight." I see the renewed defiance in her eyes. "Baby you are just making me harder." She moans but quickly turns her face looking away from me. I get on the bed and with ease flip her on her back, she lets out a little yelp. Before she knows it I'm in between her legs, her hands pinned above her head with just one of mine.

She tries to buck me off only to end up brushing her clit along my penis. "Get of me before I…" Her words are no where to be heard the moment my dick sinks into her. "Before you what?" I ask rolling my hips.

"Oh fuck…fuck, fuck."

"Don't be mad at yourself baby… it was inevitable." I pull out and slam back into her.

"For the love of god, please move." She cries.

"No, no, no, no baby you don't get to say shit." I lean down to kiss her and I know she going to turn her head, so I hold it in place before possessing her mouth, my tongue dominating hers, she moans against mine. I let go of her hands and brace myself on my forearm before pulling out and slamming home, I set a punishing pace with no let up. She feels so good, no matter the day I've hard, knowing she is there is a balm for my raging temperament. "You. Feel. So. Good." I say between slams.

I pull out flip her on all fours and drive my dick back in, I watch as my hard throbbing wet dick moves in and out of her quivering pussy, she's close to cuming. "Oh baby... you really should see just how beautiful it looks with my dick going in and out." I grip her shoulder and rock my hips causing her to whimper. "So fucking beautiful." She falls flat out on the bed as she cums screaming into the pillow.

She turns around looking at me with dazed eyes. I straddle her stomach and after two strokes cum all over her breast.

"Really Christian." I know I'm grinning like a loon, I've always wanted to do that. She pulls off the t-shirt from around her neck wiping my cum of her breast before throwing it at me. "Animal." She mumbles sauntering off into the bathroom.

All the screaming and screeching I'm sure has done some damage to my ear drums, the men behave with a little more decorum and congratulate Elliot with hugs and slaps on the back.

Ana and Mia's suspicion was practically confirmed this morning when Mr and Mrs Kavanagh turned up just before Elliot and Kate was to arrive. Naturally my mom got teary and emotional when Mia told her what she suspected. Ana as expected dropped me in by telling the room I knew and refused to talk, I believe she thought if she got the other women to gang on me I will talk, I didn't get to where I am by giving in that easily… so I run.

"Elliot I am your mother, I can't believe you didn't tell me." Dad sniggers.

"What you mean after the way you behaved when Christian asked Ray in front of you." Elliot asks.

"I didn't say anything." She defends.

"Might just as well have." Ray mumbles.

"Well anyway I suspected as much." Mia says proudly.

"Seriously Mia, are you sure you don't want to come work for me."

"I love you and I would like that to continue, so I kindly refuse your offer."

"How did he propose?" Mrs Kavanagh eagerly ask.

"Oh it was beautiful, we were having dinner on the rooftop of the hotel when he started talking about how much of a dick he was…"

"Katherine." Her mother admonishes.

"Well I was." Elliot defends his fiancée.

"He told me how much I opened his eyes and how much he loves me and he'd known for sometime I was it for him, life was too short to waste and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him." She finishes with a little sob.

"Boy I raised you well after all." Dad proudly says.

"Such a beautiful ring." Mom adds.

"Yeah bro thanks for your help." Ana's hand descend on my thigh with some force.

"Ahh, that hurt." I scream.

"You knew, you… you…you knew."

"Yes I knew and I was sworn to secrecy, we all were and I wasn't one hundred percent sure he would ask on the holiday." The glare dad and Ray send my way is enough to make a grown man whimper.

"Cary, what does he mean you all were?"

"Like he said we all were." My dad answers, trying for an air of nonchalance.

"Cary I expect this from, but you Ray, I'm very disappointed." Ray actually look chastised. Abigail says nothing but narrows her eyes at him.

"I didn't exactly expect you guys to keep quiet after we were gone." Elliot adds knowing full well he's not helping.

"You are welcome." Ray grits out as we glare at him, not that he cares.

MIA

LUCKY 92

Yes readers, we have it on good authority that only 92 lucky people get to attend the Grey/Steele wedding. How sure are we? Well if you didn't receive the save the date card then I'm afraid you are not going.

Our source told us the wedding will likely happen sooner rather than later as preparations are in full swing for the nuptials…

I am going to kill the bitch, everything we talked about is all here, every single thing in detail. Christian is going to go ape shit when he finds out. "Stan, I'm taking my break." I rush out the back into my car and drive out to Lily's.

"Hello Miss Grey." The housekeeper greets.

"Where is Lily?" Today I'm not in a polite mood.

"Mia, what a surprise." Fucking bitch.

"Are you really that desperate?"

"What?" She has the nerve to look offended.

"That's how you want to play it, fine. No one and I mean no one in my family would contact The Noz and sell the details of Christian and Ana's wedding. You were the only one there who heard the details and you sold it to a gossip rag. So I ask again, are you that fucking desperate? What did you think you were going to achieve. My brother finds your infatuation with him amusing nothing more, this desperate attempt to achieve… god knows what will be your downfall. Good luck getting that job with Neiman Marcus." I am seething with anger, I can understand why Christian always resorted to using his fist.

"Mia, I didn't…" I walk out getting back in my car not caring what she has to say, if she didn't, she told someone and they blabbed, either way it's her fault.

CHRISTIAN

"BARNEY… I don't give a flying fuck if everybody already read it, take it off the fucking internet. SHUT THE WHOLE GODDAMN THING DOWN IF YOU HAVE TO."

"CHRISTIAN." Shit. "Shouting at Barney or anyone else in the building is not going to change the fact that Lily went to The Noz. So how about we put our toys back in the pram and act like you have a brain and use it. If I hear or see one more person looking scared because you can't keep your temper under control… your day will get a whole lot worse." Lily is fucking dead if my day does get worse.

"Sorry love."

"I'm not the one you need to apologize to." Fuck if I'm apologizing. "Barney leave the fucking article where it is, we didn't do anything wrong. We invited the people that mean something to us, the rest can go jump in the Sound for all I care." Actually that's a very good point.

"Yes Miss Steele." Barney says blushing.

"Barney if at the end of the day he hasn't apologized let me know." With that she saunters out of the office.

"You will tell her I apologized."

"Sorry Mr Grey but I'm not going to lie to Miss Steele."

"You can't possibly be…"

"Sorry." He shrugs. What the fuck.

"Andrea get my sister on the phone."

"Yes Sir." She answers smirking, my dressing down by Ana has made its way through the building already. "Sir Miss Grey is on the line."

"Mia…"

"I know I know I'm done with her, I should have cut ties with her a long time ago, I just had to rub you and Ana in her face and now this happened."

"Not your fault Mia, I'm going to let this slide."

"I didn't expect you to."

"Good, Love you Mia."

OCTOBER 6TH 2006

ANA

God I miss France and Italy, the summer was wonderful, Christian had business in Europe and asked me to accompany him. I really miss it and the lovely weather because this gray Seattle skyline is doing a number on my mood.

"Hey Ana." Don't fucking blush. "I was wondering if you want to go to the movie theater tonight." Mike mumbles.

"Oh yeah Sean mentioned you guys where going tonight."

"No… I mean just us… you and me." He says shyly.

"I'd like that."

"I'll pick you at 7." It takes me a second to reply as I don't want to subject him to the men in my life.

"How about I meet you there?"

"Ana I'd rather get the murdering looks over and done with." He says chuckling.

"Okay, it your funeral." He leans forward giving me a quick kiss on the lip and disappears before I can completely comprehend what happened.

I see Sawyer waiting by the car and remember I can't anywhere without him. Shit I have a date tonight and Sawyer is going to be there, for the first time I truly understand the saying, 'three is a crowd.'

"Sawyer is there an exception with you following me."

"No." Boy this is going to be a very scintillating conversation.

"So… you've ever heard the saying, 'there is an exception to every rule." I'm full of sayings today.

"Yes." Jesus.

"And."

"Nothing."

"Sawyer this is going to be a very long conversation if all I get from you is one word answers.

"You are asking for something that would cost me my job."

"Oh." Is all I manage.

"Now you understand." I catch him smirking.

"It's going to be a great date." I mutter sarcastically.

"Miss Steele..."

"For the love of god, Ana." He ignores my outburst and carries on.

"I'm not required to follow you into a restaurant or movie theater as long as you wear your brace…"

"Sawyer, you are the best."

"Uh huh."

"Wait, how about the whole reporting thing."

"We only do that when there is a security breach."

"Excellent."

It's Friday so I don't have to worry about Elliot, Christian might show up if he's spending the weekend, now dad and Carrick are my main concern. One way to make sure none of them are coming home anytime soon. I text Christian and Elliot and I manage to ascertain their whereabouts but no response from dad and Carrick. I wait eagerly for Mia or Grace to come home at least before the men. I like Mike and I really want tonight to go well. I hear the front door and I rush downstairs. "Oh Grace thank god."

"What's wrong?" She asks quite calmly.

"I've got a date." I blurt out.

"Where are the men?" She asks looking around.

"Christian has a night time flying lesson and Elliot is working. I'm not sure where dad and Carrick…"

"They went fishing." She answers dragging me up the stairs. "Hopefully we can get you out of the house before those boys come back. We don't want another Brad fiasco." A few months ago Mia went out with Brad, it was as Mia put it disastrous as Brad wouldn't even get close to her and it ended as quickly as it started. Mia wasn't sad for long, Sean quickly moved in and Mia is more than happy with him, that is till the brothers Grimm find out.

"Ana you look fantastic."

"Thank you." I'm in white fitting jeans, a tank top with leather jacket and shoes I bought in France.

"And you look rather dashing." He does in his dark jeans and dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows.

"Thank you." He says opening the car door for me. The drive to the theater is a little awkward as we don't really know what to say to each other. "Shit, I talk to you all the time and all of a sudden I can't think of a damn thing to say." He smiles at me. "How are you?"

"Seriously." I ask giggling. "What do you want to see?"

"Actually that's much better. I figured we'd decide when get there." We've been to the theater before but usually as a group with Rachel, Mia and Sean.

"Oh Departed I want to see that. I just hope it's as good as the original."

"You know the original?" He looks surprised.

"Yeah, Infernal Affairs, Andy Lau is one of my favorite actors."

"Did you see House of Flying Daggers?"

"Did I, god Christian got sick of the amount of times I dragged him here to see it. I didn't like his character Leo in the film, the person you love isn't necessarily going to feel the same and I believe you just have to accept it no matter how hard it is."

"Ana Steele you are full of surprises." He says smiling at me. "Come on, I love the trailers almost as much as the films." God he's perfect.

Half way through the film he wraps his hands around my shoulder and I settle into him.

"What did you think?" he asks as we walk out.

"It stayed close to the original, more than I thought it would." I answer.

"Yeah, same here. I like it…"

"But you didn't feel for the characters as you did with the original." I finish.

"Exactly and I don't know why." Just before we make it to the car he turns round and kisses me, its light and tentative at first I wrap my arms around his neck and soon we are really going at it and only stop to take a breather. "Wow." I conquer.

CHRISTIAN

"Bro, what are your plans this evening?"

"I'm headed back to work" I tell him and wait for it.

"Boo, that's boring." Just as I expected. "No you are coming out with me, aren't you sick of jerking off, you need to get your dick wet."

"Elliot do you have to be so crass."

"It is what it is; no point in pretending it's otherwise." He certainly doesn't mince his words. "It's just sex and as long as you make that clear no one should get hurt. Come out with me, you may not be as good looking as me but it's fairly dark and after a few drinks they will all think you are Brad Pitt." I can't help but laugh.

"Sure why not." Taylor turns the car around without me asking.

"Let me quickly get changed and we can go."

"No hurry bro take your time." He says opening a bottle of beer.

I can't remember the last time I had sex, it's been a while. Unlike Elliot who seems to manage it almost every night with a different girl, how he does is beyond me. Can you imagine meeting your wife and having to explain to her why every woman in Seattle seems to know you and are giving her dirty looks.

Within minutes of arriving he's already got two women hanging on his every word, one of them moves over to me and starts talking and I know if I want to get laid I have to make an effort. So I talk about mundane stuff, but I quickly realize all I have to do is listen or pretend to listen because she's already made up her mind about me and it's clearly in my favor.

Elliot and his girl are already going at it; the girl whose name I think Bette is rubbing my crouch. "Bro you ready to bounce." We just got here but I guess the reason we came is already achieved so what's the point in hanging around.

Ana and Mia have been busy giggling in the corner for the better part of the afternoon. "What are you two up to?"

"Nothing." Is their quick response. I narrow my eyes at them. "Anyway lunch is ready."

"How is the flying lessons going son." Dad asks.

"Good, really good actually, in fact I'm taking my oral and flight test this week for my license." I say beaming, "I'm quite excited."

"Nice one Christian." Ana says.

"Yeah really well done." Dad adds.

"So got your eye on any choppers." Elliot asks with his mouth full.

"Elliot I'd like to think I brought you up better than that." Mom glares at him.

"Sorry mom."

Yeah I've got my eye on a Eurocopter EC135 helicopter not chopper." I answer.

"Fancy." He counters.

"How much is that going to cost you?" Ray asks.

"A couple of million, they are the safest type going, mostly used by law enforcement and because it's quite spacious works well as rescue crafts."

"I'm so getting a ride when you buy it." Ana says making me laugh.

"Naturally."

"Wouldn't it be more prudent for business?" Dad asks.

"It is, personally I don't need a helicopter to get around, everybody I know is right here in Seattle." I add looking around. "But it doesn't mean I can't give you guys the occasional ride when you need it."

"Bro…"

"I mean like mom needing to be at a particular hospital for work during an emergency." I say cutting him off.

"You really have a knack for spoiling my fun." He says pointing his fork at me.

"Your idea of fun and mine defer greatly." I counter.

"His idea of fun and everybody's defer greatly." Ana adds, the room chuckles agreeing with her.

"You didn't have an issue with my idea of fun last Friday and the Saturday." Elliot says despite my glaring at him.

"Wow Christian a girl, I was beginning to think you were gay." Ana says.
"You thought what?" I say through a coughing fit.

AN: Can anyone recall the name of the priest who married Christian and Ana in the book.
