It's been 2 months since I returned from one of my worst nightmares. Over the course of the first couple of weeks, I put in the work and, thanks to therapy, I began to feel more like myself. The emotional scars will probably always be there, but I'm managing it well. Christian has been a dream, helping me and being extremely gentle with me.

I stayed home from work for the first 2 weeks and then, against Christian vehement objections, I went back to work. He finally accepted this, but he calls me throughout the day to check on me. It's sweet, really.

We are currently preparing for Teddy's 6th birthday. Lily's birthday is a month after his. We will be throwing them both their own parties. Liam and Phoebe weren't happy that they both get their own, so we've decided that next year, they will both have separate birthday parties.

Christian and I have officially been back together for a year. We are doing great. Our wedding is being held whenever the kids are out on summer break. The kids will be accompanying us on our honeymoon. They will stay in a separate room from us and my dad will be staying with them.

After the year that we've had, they deserve a getaway as well. He hasn't told me where we're going, as usual, but I'm so happy to get to share this experience with our children. They will be on summer break the week after Lily's 9th birthday, so we are getting married the weekend after that. So, in 6 weeks, we will be married and heading off to our family honeymoon.

I couldn't possibly be more excited. Kate's mom is making my wedding dress again this time. I already went to her for my fitting and since my weight has been pretty steady, they won't need me again and I won't see the dress itself until the day of our wedding.

I still can't get Kate to crack and tell me about the wedding planning. I've learned to just stop trying. She's upset about what her brother did in kidnapping me and helping Elena torture me and has apologized to me profusely. I told her that it's not her fault and to stop apologizing for him.

Tonight is date night with my amazing fiancé. I cannot wait to find out what he has planned.

He picked me out a long red, flowing gown with a slit up the side. There's matching heels. He got me some new jewelry for the night. It's almost too much, but I know that complaining about it will not get me anywhere.

Once I'm fully ready, I go downstairs and find my husband dressed in a form fitting tuxedo, looking even more handsome than ever. He's sitting and talking to the children. Whenever he hears me enter the room, he stands and turns to face me. The kids all tell me how beautiful I am. "You look stunning, Ana."

I smile. "Thank you, Mr. Grey. You look quite handsome yourself."

"Let's get to our date. Children, behave for your Papa and the nanny tonight."

"Okay, Dad." They all say. We give them all hugs and a kiss on the head and then Christian offers me his arm and I take it. He leads me out to the SUV and helps me in. He gets in himself and buckles us in. He holds my hand and smiles at me. Taylor drives down towards the waterfront. When we get to the boardwalk, Taylor lets us out and Christian helps me out and leads me down the boardwalk to a restaurant called Aqua by El Gaucho. I've never been here, but I've been told that they have the best seafood in Seattle. Possibly in the entire Northwest.

Whenever we get inside, they lead us to a corner booth and he helps me in and sits next to me. They take our drink orders. I order a cocktail and Christian orders himself some wine. We share small-talk and moderate flirtation as we partake of our beautiful meals and drinks.

After our meal, Christian leaves an insane tip and guides me back to the SUV. Our next stop is the Seattle Opera. He takes us up to the second-tier boxes where he has apparently reserved one for us. Once inside our box, he asks the attendant to give us privacy. He nods and leaves and Christian closes and locks the door before guiding me to my seat.

He sits next to me and puts his hand on my thigh. Throughout the beginning of the performance, he rubs my thigh. The next thing I know, He slides his hand under the fabric of my dress through the slit on the side. I look at him and he winks and puts his finger over his lips, indicating for me to be quiet. He slides his hand up my thigh until he gets to the top of my panties. He scoots closer and slides his hand down my panties. He continues to watch the opera as he begins playing with my clit and circling my core with his fingers. He slides a finger into my core and I stifle a gasp.

His thumb rubs my clit in a circular motion while his finger finds my sweet spot and begins to stroke it. I close my eyes and bite my lip. "Open your eyes and watch the opera, Ana." I open my eyes and smile at him and he grins back. I reach over and rub his thigh and work my way up to his cock and rub his erection through the fabric of his pants since it would be hard for me to unbutton his pants from this position. He glances back at me.

"It's only fair, Mr. Grey." He smiles, shaking his head slightly and turns back to the opera. His other hand unbuckles his belt and his pants and he frees his erection from the confines of his pants. I wrap my fingers around it and begin to stroke it. Keeping in rhythm with him stroking my sweet spot. He leans over.

"Come for me, quietly." He whispers. I nod. My body tenses and my orgasm rips through me and he keeps stroking my sweet spot until it passes. "Good girl." He whispers. He pulls his hand out from under my dress and removes my hand from his cock, confusing me. He puts himself back into his pants, but he doesn't buckle them back up. He stands up casually and he helps me up. He takes me close to the back of the box and his lips crash into mine as he slowly lowers me down onto the ground.

Once I'm laying down and he is towering over me, he breaks the kiss and he pulls up the bottom of my dress and he rips off my panties as I reach down and release him from his pants again. His lips crash into mine as he abruptly penetrates my core. His mouth catches my cries. He thrusts hard and fast and it doesn't take long before my second orgasm of the night crashes over me. He slows his thrusts temporarily. That doesn't stop my third orgasm from hitting hard. Each orgasm is more intense than the last. For our final encore, he whispers, "Come with me, baby." And my most intense orgasm of the night crashes over me as I feel his cock pulsate inside me as he spills his essence deep in my core. Once the final pulses of my orgasm end, she slows to a stop and then he just holds me for a little bit until we catch our breath.

He kisses me sweetly as he pulls out and he sits back and helps me up. He helps to pull my skirt back down and then he puts himself back into his pants and buckles them back up. "Do you want to get out of here or finish watching the opera?" he asks.

"I'd much rather leave with you now." I smile at him lovingly.

He smiles back. "You're a naughty fiancé, Ms. Grey."

"Mmm… Only for you, Mr. Grey." I lean over and kiss him sweetly. He stands up and tucks his shirt in and he helps me up. We leave the box and make our way back to the SUV.

Once in the SUV, Taylor drives us out of Seattle in a completely different direction from our house. "We're not going home until morning." Christian tells me.

I smile and nod. "Okay, baby."

We pull up to a lodge in Woodinville. I was not expecting this, but I'm going with it. "This is Willows Lodge." I nod. He helps me out and takes me inside and he gets the room key and takes me to a suite.

Once inside the room, I check the place out. It has a huge King size bed, a fireplace, a deep soaking bath tub and many other amenities. Christian wraps his arms around me from behind. "What would you like to do first?"

"Mmm… I want a bath with my amazing fiancé." I reply.

"Okay. Let's get out of this dress and into the tub then." I smile and he unzips my dress and pushes it off my shoulders and it pools at my feet. I'm now completely naked underneath. I turn around.

"You're way too dressed, Mr. Grey." He smiles and I push his jacket off of his shoulders and unhook his bowtie and drop it on the ground. I undo his cuff links and set them on the nightstand and I unbutton his shirt to reveal that sexy chest of his. Once it's unbuttoned, I push it off of his shoulders as well. I unbuckle his belt and then unbutton and unzip his pants. I seductively lower his pants to his feet. I forgot his shoes. I untie his shoes and take them off and then his socks and I pull his pants the rest of the way off of my body. He scoops me up and carries me into the bathroom and sets me on the counter while he runs me a bath.

Once the tub is full, he picks me up and lays me down in it. I sit forward and he slides in behind me. I lean back against his chest. He rubs my shoulders and it feels heavenly. I put some soap on the sponge and hand it to him. We washes me sensually and delicately, while laying kisses on my neck. After my body is clean, he proceeds to wash my hair. Once my hair is rinsed out, I grab the sponge and turn around to face him. "It's my turn now, Mr. Grey." He smirks. I repeat the process that he used for me and once his hair is rinsed out, I wrap my arms around his neck and sit astride him and kiss him passionately as I slide down onto his erection. "Let your fiancé take care of you now, Mr. Grey."

"As you wish." I pull back and look into his eyes as I hold my hands on his muscular chest as I slide up and down his cock, ever so slowly. I lean down and kiss him intermittently. I feel myself getting extremely close so I lean down and kiss him sweetly.

"Come with me, Mr. Grey." I whisper against his lips and it only takes a moment before I hear him groan as I feel his member start to pulsate, provoking my own orgasm and it's phenomenal. I continue to ride him until our orgasms end. I stop my movements and lean down and kiss him sweetly. "Good boy." I kiss him one more time before I collapse onto his chest and he holds me tight up against his chest.

We stay like this in comfortable silence until the water starts to get cold. We disengage and then I wash off his cock and my core and we get out and get dried off. We wonder to the couch in front of the fireplace, naked, and he helps me to have a seat and he grabs a remote and turns the fireplace on before going to the mini fridge and grabbing us some wine out of it. He comes back to me and he sits next to me. He puts the wine down on the table with some wine glasses that I didn't see him grab. He pours us both a glass and picks them up, handing me mine.

He wraps an arm around me and we drink, watching the fire dance as we carry on light conversation. Suddenly, I can't take it anymore and I sit up and set my glass on the table and set his down as well. I push the table away and I climb on his lap and sit astride him and kiss him feverishly. "I need you to fuck me, Christian."

He grins against my lips and wraps an arm around my waist and she shifts his position and lays me back on the couch. "Hands and knees, baby." I smile and do as he asks. He fucks me hard and fast from behind.

Over the course of the night, we indulge in sex on various surfaces around the beautiful suite before we fall asleep, safe and sated, in one another's arms after watching the sunrise together.

It's been 6 weeks since our amazing night at the Willow Lodge. Over the last 6 weeks, we've had a 6th birthday party for Teddy and a 9th birthday party for Lily. They both loved them.
