Ana's POV

I wake up and I'm in a dark room with my hands and feet restrained and I'm laying on what feels like a couch but it is dark so I can't be sure.

A little bit later, I hear a door open and someone flips the light on. I close my eyes quickly and open them slowly to give my eyes a minute to adjust.

When my eyes are all the way open, I see Morton staring at me.

It's then that I notice I'm only in my lingerie and I have no panties because Christian ripped them off of me earlier. Morton comes over and sits right beside me and starts touching me. I'm helpless.

Then I remember my panic button so I discreetly push it. Thank God I decided to wear that tonight. "What do you want from me? How are you still alive?"

"I want you back Ana. As far as how I'm alive, Ray killed my twin brother, thankfully. He was a pain in my ass. I've been watching you since." And he kisses me forcefully and I bite his tongue and he screams and backhands me. "calm down or I will just drug you again and have my way with you."

I decide to calm down for now. "I can pay you to leave me and my family alone."

He cuts me off with his hand over my mouth. "I think it is time we have some fun Ana." I start crying but then he cuts off my restraints and my training kicks in and I elbow him and turn around and kick him to the ground and I jump on him and start hitting him until he is obviously unconscious. I search the room and find cable ties and secure his arms and legs so that he can't move and then I kick him in the nuts and his eyes pop open. "YOU FUCKING CUNT!! Let me loose."

"It will be a cold day in hell before I let you loose. If I had my gun, I would blow your disgusting brains out." I look around the room and find canes and whips and I take one of each and I roll him onto his stomach and I cane him and he is screaming and begging me to stop. "You never let me go so I won't be letting you loose until the authorities get here."

I whip him a couple times and then I drop the whip and cane and search his pockets for a phone and I finally find it.

I dial Christian's number.

"Ana?"

"Yes. Can you track me? I have him restrained in the basement."

"We got you tracked and we will be there shortly. Who is he?"

"Steve Morton. My pedophile so called step dad. I will See you shortly. I love you."

"I love you too Ana. We just pulled up."

I take off running up the steps and open the door and take off running for the door but then I remember I'm almost completely naked. I find a sheet and wrap it around myself and they come storming in. "Christian?!" he spots me and he runs to me and wraps his arms around me. He is still dressed in his tux without his bow tie and he has the top buttons of his shirt undone.

"Are you hurt, Ana?"

"He back handed me but I feel fine. Just slightly violated and I'm extremely satisfied that he just received his Karma and I got to dish it out."

His eyes widen. "What did you do Ana?"

"I beat his ass, tied him up and caned him while he begged me to let him go and he cried like a bitch."

"Damn Ana. I will get you into the SUV and I want to see what you did."

I Nod and he scoops me up and puts me in the back of the SUV. He gives me a sweet kiss. "I will be right back."

I just nod and then everything that just happened hits me all at once and I start sobbing into my hands. It is then that I notice I'm practically covered in blood. I watch as Christian comes back out to the SUV and climbs into the back with me looking spooked.

"What's wrong Christian?"

"You REALLY fucked him up."

"Well he fucking deserved every bit of it."

"I won't argue with you on that, Ana. But now I know not to hurt you because your tiny body just beat down a very big man. I'm impressed."

"He is the one that bid against you in the auction. He saw us in the boathouse and I felt like someone was watching us but I chose to shake it off and I was determined to have a good time with you no matter what."

I start crying. "Once I finally got the upper hand on him and I know he was planning to use that stuff on me but I got to use it on him because I finally had him subdued. Against his will but obviously there wasn't much of a choice. It was me or him."

"Hey now. No one blames you. If I had known who he was and saw him first, I probably would've done the same thing. I will NEVER underestimate you again. You took down a 260 lbs man and you are just barely over 100 lbs. You are amazing Ana. I love you and I want to kiss you properly but you appear to have blood all over you. It looks like even in your mouth."

"Oh yeah. I bit his tongue." I say looking proud of myself.

Finally the cops show up and they go to apprehend the sick fuck in the basement and they come and talk to me and I tell them how everything happened.

They arrest him but take him to the hospital handcuffed to a gurney. They said what I did to him was considered self defense but said I went a little overboard with it but they would let it slide because of the vile things the monster had done to me and what he was planning to do to me.

After they're done talking to me, I turn to Christian, "Take me home to wash up and sleep please?"

"Of course baby." Taylor and Sawyer get in the front seat and drive us back to our home.

Christian carries me up to our bathroom and sets me on the counter and runs me some bath water. "You were very brave Ana. I'm proud of you."

I smile and pick up my toothbrush and toothpaste and brush my teeth thoroughly and wash my face and kiss my husband deeply.

He helps me into the tub and gets in with me and washes me from head to toe.

He helps me out of the tub and carries me to bed and puts a silk nightie on me and I lay down and he puts on a pair of pajama pants and climbs in behind me and pulls my back up to his chest. "We can spend time with the kids in the morning. For now, get some sleep baby." I turn around and kiss him deeply.

"Thank you for saving me Christian."

"Oh honey, you are the one that saved you. I love you."

I smile and lay my head on his chest and drift off to sleep.

I am awoken from a nightmare and my amazing husband wraps his arms around me. "You're safe baby."

"I know. I love you baby. Will you love me?"

"Only if you're sure."

"I asked, didn't I? So please love me husband. I need you."

He worships my body with his own and then we drift off to sleep in each other's arms.

I wake up again and I'm in bed alone. I panic but then remember how anytime something upsets my husband, he can be found at the piano playing melancholy music.

I get up and throw my nightie back on and make my way to the music room and there he sits looking defeated. I furrow my brow and walk around the piano and sit beside him. "Want to talk about it?"

"I thought I lost you Ana. I can't lose you."

"You won't lose me baby. Ever."

He smiles and turns to me and kisses me feverishly. "Did I wake you up?"

"No. Another nightmare did. Then I couldn't find you so I came here. I need you to fuck me."

He smiles and closes the lid on the grand piano and he lays me atop it and makes love to me. It was magical.

"Let's go to bed and get a little more sleep before the kids are up."

I nod and he helps me off the piano and scoops me up and carries me to bed and he lays with me and holds me until I drift off to sleep in his arms.

The next morning I wake up to find my husband staring at me and giggle. "I need a shower. Join me."

I give him a sweet kiss and roll out of bed and strip out of my nightie on my way to the shower. My husband joins me and we get dirtier before we get clean and it was amazing.

We spend the day as a family with our 4 children. It's the simpler days like this that I love most.
