Chapter 46: The end

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you"

A soft voice slowly brings me out of my sleep. I can feel her hot breath by my ear as she continues singing. Opening my eyes slowly, Ana moves so she can lean on top of me. The room is still dark. There is no light coming through the curtains. Must be early. I close my eyes again. Wanting her to lay down next to me so we can continue sleeping for a few more hours. I never enjoyed sleeping as much as I do now with Ana by my side. She continues singing and kissing my cheek down to my jaw. No more sleep for me.

"Mmmm baby"

I say in a groggy voice and pull her to me. She giggles and kisses my forehead. Starting to move away from me I pin her beneath me in bed as she continues to giggle and tries to escape my grip. I only tighten my hold on her. I open my eyes to see her brown hair splayed all over my pillow and her eyes twinkling as she is looking at me.

"Christian, stop. I didn´t even finish the song"

She complains once her giggle fit has settled. I move my nose to hers and slowly shake my head. I can feel her body trembling with lust.

"I don´t need your lips moving to sing a song. I need them moving on my lips"

I whisper softly. My lips barely touching hers as I speak.

I move away so I can see her. Wiggling my eyebrows suggestively as Ana playfully slaps my chest and laughs. I love that sound.

Slowly bringing my lips to hers I kiss her gently. Kissing was never this special. With Ana it´s more. Everything is more. I feel complete.

Our kiss starts out slowly, but gradually turns into a passionate one. Our lips are moving faster, our tongues exploring each other. I pull at her satin nightslip. I need to take it off. I need to feel her soft skin.

"I want this off"

I beg her as if I´m being deprived of something vital. And in that moment I realize I am. I pull away slightly and look down at her again. She is a necessity to me. Like the air that I´m breathing. I need her. Now and always.

I pull on her nightslip again. When she doesn´t make a move to take it off I pull the fabric to tear it, but Ana grabs my wrists.

"I want it off Ana. I need you to take it off"

I don´t recognize myself anymore. Anastasia Steele, the little vixen, has made me a desperate man. A man craving for her soft skin, her plump lips, her soothing smell and her tender eyes. I crave her. I want her. Always.

"Baby, we don´t have time"

She argues and I glance over at my nightstand. It´s still early. Looking at her I say confused

"We have several hours until we have to be at my parents place for the anniversary dinner"

I start kissing her soft lips again. Moving from her lips to her cheeks, down her jawline and back up to her ear. Nibbling at the soft skin beneath her earlobe I move towards her neck. She moans beneath me, moving her body against mine as I push up her night slip. Moving my fingers over her belly, feeling her velvet skin. I move lower and follow the panty lines, pulling at the fabric. As I'm about to ease my fingers into her she puts her hands on my chest and pushes me away.

"I have something planned for this morning"

She says matter-of-factly. I groan, but stay on top of her with my fingers holding the fabric of her panties away from her skin. I can feel how wet and hot she is.

"Anastasia, it´s hardly morning. Since when do you even get up this early"

I argue. I'm starting to get annoyed with her.

"It´s your birthday and we are going to enjoy a romantic breakfast for two in the sunrise"

"I don´t even like celebrating my birthday"

I whine, but she doesn´t care. She pushes me off her and gets out of bed. Readjusting her panties as she stands up. Grabbing my white shirt from the floor she puts it on and turns to face me again while buttoning the shirt. I sit up in bed, pushing the sheets away so she can see my erection. Maybe that'll change her mind. She glances between my thighs and bites her lower lip, but nevertheless turns away.

"Come on baby. I´ve made pancakes"

She says cheerfully and turns to leave the room. For fucks sake Anastasia! Getting up from bed I grab her arm and pull her to me. I look down at her. I could look at her all day and all night, and never tire. My lustful gaze causes her to blush profusely. I cup her face with one hand and run my thumb up and down her cheek.

"I love you Anastasia Steele, you know that?"

"Of course, and I love you so very much Christian Grey"

She cups my cheeks and pulls my face down to hers for a quick peck on the lips before she bounces out of the room. I quickly pull on a pair pajama bottoms and a tee. I make sure that the velvet box containing her ring is still hidden beneath the socks in my drawer before I walk out the bedroom door. Tonight is the night.

Breakfast is served out on the terrace. It´s quiet. So peaceful. The city is still sleeping. It feels as though it´s only me and Ana out here. No one else in an otherwise crowded town. This is how it's supposed to be. Just us two, and maybe children in a couple of years. I want to enjoy our time together and have Ana all to myself as long as possible.

"Christian, are you all right?"

I must have zoned out judging by the look on her face.

"Yes, I was just thinking about how amazing this is. Thank you. I've never celebrated my birthday before"

"Never?"

She asks surprised and I shake my head

"No, well I have celebrated with a dinner at my parents home. Family and a few friends. Very small celebration. Oh and the yearly out on town experience Elliott forces upon me. Last year Mia dragged us to some new club. That was fucking painful"

Ana laughs at the agonizing face I make as I remember the night I had to drag a drunk Mia home, make sure Elliott wasn't infested with an STD and explain to a pissed off Taylor why his beloved SUV was full of vomit.

"I have never had a better birthday celebration baby, thank you"

I lean over to her and kiss her plump lips. As I pull away I see her eyes shining. We continue eating our pancakes in a comfortable silence. The sun is barely visible behind the tall buildings of Seattle. But the sunrise is beautiful. It illuminates the city in bright lights. I grab Ana and pull her to me so she is on my lap. I hold her tightly to my chest. Moving her hair away I kiss her cheek. Trailing kisses down her jaw and neck. She moans and leans into me. I can feel myself getting harder by the second. At this rate I'm going to come before the sun is up.

Noticing she keeps one of her hands away from me I see she has syrup all over her fingers. I take her hand in mine and bring it to my lips. I slowly lick and suck on each finger. Making sure they are no longer sticky. My action ignites the passion in her and she turns around so she can straddle me. Slowly moving on top of me I can feel her wet and hot on top of my erection. She leans into me as her hands find their way into my hair. She tightens her grip and pulls me to her. As we kiss I get up and carry her inside again. Can't allow the neighbours to get a full view of my girl. Instead of going back to our room I head for one of the guest rooms.

I had Taylor and Gail set up the room just as I wanted to last night. I had planned on taking her there before we left for my parents house, but there is no better time than the present. I put her down in front of the door and she looks at me confused.

"I thought maybe you would take me to our bedroom"

I just shake my head smiling as I open the door to the guest room. Motioning for her to go in first.

The room is packed with white flowers everywhere and red rose petals trailing their way to the bed. Ana walks in slightly shaking, she turns to look at me with tearfilled eyes.

"Baby, is everything allright"

I ask her nervously. This is not the reaction I was hoping for.

"Christian this is beautiful. How...how do you do this?"

"I asked Taylor and Gail to help"

I admit and she laughs

"No silly. How do you make my dreams come true"

I pull her to me and kiss her. Breaking the kiss as we gasp for air I hold her to my chest. I can feel her hot breath close to my heart.

"You're my dream come true Ana"

Her tears wet my t shirt as I pull away to look at her. She must sense my distress as she quickly wipes away her tears and smile

"These are happy tears Christian, don't worry"

There is no moment better than this one and I kiss her once more, only this time it's a quick kiss.

"Don't go anywhere"

I say and run out of the room, leaving a confused Ana to stare at my back as I dissapear down the hall. I pass Gail and she jumps as I run past her.

"Sorry Gail"

I say with a stupid grin on my face. She turns and sees the guest room door open and starts jumping up and down smiling. I laugh and continue down the hall.

Once inside my room I walk into our closet and open my sock drawer. Hidden beneath all the socks is the black velvet box. I open it up to make sure the ring is still there and intact. It's perfect for Ana. With trembling hands I put the box in the pocket of my pajama pants. Quickly making my way to the bathroom I splash some water on my face.

"You can do this Christian. She loves you. This is it. Your dream is coming true"

I say to myself in the mirror. I'm a bit pale and feel lightheaded. I've never been this nervous about anything in my entire life. Nor have I ever been this frightened. What if she says no?

I find Ana standing by the window, looking out. As I close the door behind me she turns and smiles.

"Christian, this is amazing. I just...I can't..."

She trails off. I walk over to her and take her hand in mine as I pull her beside the bed. I need to do this now before I chicken out.

"Ana, you have given me my life back. You brought the beat back into my heart. You brought light into my darkened soul. Everything you are my heart loves, my heart needs. You're the one, the only one I want for an eternity by my side. I love you so much"

She opens her mouth to say something but I silence her with a quick peck. I pull out the black ring box from my pocket and open it. Getting down on one knee I continue

"I promise to always keep you safe. I promise to be faithful to you. I will respect you, trust you and cherish you. I promise to be by your side in sickness and in health. I promise to share both joy and pain with you. And I promise to love you for a lifetime. I promise to fulfill all your wishes if you can grant me my one and only, to become my wife. Will you marry me Anastasia Steele?"

She doesn't speak for seconds. Opening and closing her mouth several times. She is shaking so much she has to sit down on the bed, letting go of my hand. She looks at me with tearfilled eyes, and I smile to her as she nervously smiles back. I can see hesitants in her eyes as she opens her mouth again

"I...I..."
