It's been 3 months since the latest and, hopefully, last kidnapping. Christian has ordered Taylor to stay on me for now and another member of security, Hanson is currently on him until they hire me a new CPO. It will be a longer process this time because I've now had 2 CPOs that acted inappropriately towards me.

We recently had Teddy's 9th birthday party, followed by Lily's 12th birthday party. Everyone enjoyed themselves at both. It won't be too long before the twins turn 2.

After that we'll be having the Gala again right around Christian's birthday. He will be 46. I will be 40 myself this year. Christian still manages to make me feel young, though. Over the years, he's gotten hints of grey in his hair, but it just gives him more character. I never would've imagined that a 46-year-old man could be so damn handsome.

The kids are all doing fantastic. Kate and I still have regular playdates with Teddy, Ava, Beau, Penny and Elijah. It's always nice to get together and it's so nice that the kids have someone their age to grow up with them, kind of like Phoebe and Lily.

Tonight, we're having a family dinner at the Grey's Manor. Everyone will be there. Apparently, Mia and Gideon flew in this weekend and that's why we're having it there. I don't want Gideon near my house.

Christian and I are already dressed and we're getting the twins dressed. After they're dressed, we meet the rest of the kids downstairs and we load into 2 SUVs and head over to the Grey's manor. My dad is coming along, as usual.

Whenever we arrive, I see that Kate and Elliot are already here so we go in and find them in the family room. Everyone welcomes one another and we get some wine and beers for the guys before we have a seat and talk. Gail came over earlier to cook for us all. She's kind of like our other mother.

Finally, Mia and Gideon make their late appearance. Gail finally calls dinner and we all head to the dining room and take our seats. The meals are brought to the table and we all eat whilst having casual conversation. Out of nowhere, Gideon stands up and clears his throat. Everyone looks at him. "We have an announcement to make." He says. Everyone is waiting for him to just say what it is. "Mia and I are pregnant."

Everyone is silent for a second, but then we all decide to be polite and we all congratulate them. After the meal is finished, we all move back to the family room. We sit around and talk and share stories about Grace and Carrick whenever the kids were growing up. They are all finally able to talk about them without shedding tears.

Whenever everyone else leaves, we help Gail finish cleaning up and then we all head back home. It's late, so we put the kids to bed and then Christian and I go to bed ourselves.

It's been 3 blissfully uneventful months since Gideon and Mia announced their pregnancy. The twins turned 2 recently. The kids' summer break officially began last month.

Tonight, we are hosting our second Gala together. I'm going to try to add something new each year. This year, everyone has to show their invitations to even get into the tent. If they aren't invited by Christian or myself and aren't the plus one to anyone invited, they will not be allowed in.

I'm putting on my new gown for the Gala. It's a Bronx and Banco 'Midnight Noir' sequin embellished gown. It has a square neckline, fitted bodice and an embellished waist. It's floor length and I love it. I've got black strappy heels and a matching sequined clutch.

Christian bought me new jewelry to wear with it. I also got a new panic button jewelry that is much like the last one. Christian hasn't seen the gown yet and neither has my father, or the kids for that matter.

Once I'm dressed, I check myself in the mirror. I'm wearing my hair down this year and I only put on light makeup. Christian likes it better when my face isn't coated in makeup.

I grab the clutch and slide my phone and mace in it. I head downstairs and, the same as last year, I'm greeted with my husband and father. They both look as handsome as ever. Whenever they notice me, their eyes widen and again they compliment me and I compliment them as well.

We say goodnight to the kids and they tell me how beautiful they think I am as well. It's all very flattering.

Whenever we arrive at Grey's manor, we check everything out one last time and make a few minor adjustments before guests start arriving and we greet them. We're all seated at the regular Grey's table as we were last year after we welcome everyone. We partake of another lovely meal before the auctions start. This year, the women are being auctioned off again. This time it includes married women as well. All of us Grey women are participating.

Christian promises to make sure that Gideon doesn't get me. I don't care who I dance with, I just don't want it to be Gideon. After the regular auction is over, the women who are participating make their way to the stage. I'm the first to be on the auction block. After I'm introduced, the bidding is started at 10,000 like last year. Christian bids on me first. Gideon starts to bid as well, leading Mia to gasp. They get up in the millions before another man emerges from the shadows and bids 25 million dollars. I see that it's Anton. Christian told me that he had a surprise for me this year.

I guess that it's Anton. I glance over at my husband and he just smiles at me and I smile back. Gideon looks perplexed but he bids 30 million. Anton finishes the bidding with 50 million. Gideon shuts the fuck up and Anton wins me. He approaches the stage and offers me his hand to help me off the stage.

"It's nice to see you again, Radost Moya." He says and I blush.

"You too, Anton. It appears that you've come to Seattle." I reply.

He smiles. "I have. Christian invited me and who am I to deny an opportunity to dance with my joy?"

I giggle. "That's very flattering." I say and he winks. Christian approaches us.

"Are you surprised, Ana?" he asks me after giving me a sweet kiss.

"I am. How long have you been planning this?" I ask.

"Since we put a date on this year's Gala." Christian replies.

"You're a sly man, Mr. Grey." He smirks.

"I do what I can, baby."

He wraps an arm around me and Anton stands on the other side of me. We watch as the other women are bid on. Elliot gets Kate and Mia is won by some other unidentified man. Gideon didn't even bother bidding on her. She looked extremely pissed about that.

Once the dance finally starts, my husband gives me a sweet kiss and Anton offers me his hand and leads me onto the dance floor. He moves us around the dancefloor graciously. "What's your last name, Anton?"

"It's Durov." I nod.

"Well, nice to officially meet you, Mr. Durov."

He scoffs, "Please, just call me Anton. My father is Mr. Durov."

I giggle. "Okay, then. I take it that you're a dominant, too, based on our previous encounters?"

"I am." He says with a smile.

"Do you have a submissive?"

"Not at the moment. If I didn't admire Christian so damn much, I'd ask you to join me in Russia and be my submissive."

I giggle. "Well, that's flattering to hear, but I'd never leave my husband."

"I know, Radost Moya. It's just wishful thinking." He continues to move us around the dancefloor.

Whenever the song finally ends, he gives me a kiss on the cheek and leads me back to my husband. "You're sitting with us, Anton." Christian tells him. Anton nods and we head back to our table. Anton has a seat between Christian and Gideon.

Well, I guess that Christian figured out a way to avoid sitting next to Gideon again. We all stay and talk and dance for the remainder of the Gala. Dad finds the same woman who won him in the auction last year and they dance together. I'm surprised whenever he approaches us and tells us that he's not coming home tonight. Go Daddy!!

Whenever it's time for fireworks, we all head down to watch them and when everyone is enthralled by them, Anton leans down and kisses me sweetly. He takes my hand and holds it until the display is over. People start to disperse and once the last people are gone, we have the staff come back tomorrow to finish cleaning up again and we load up in the SUV with Taylor. Anton comes along with us.

I think that we're going home, but we keep driving. Both men take turns kissing me and teasing me until we finally come to a stop somewhere. I look out of the window and we are parked in front of a beautiful modern home. It's remarkable. "Where are we?" I ask.

"We're at my new Seattle home." Anton says and I gasp.

"You're moving here?" I ask, confused.

He chuckles. "No. It's for whenever I come visit. I've got you and Christian your own home in Russia as well for when you come to visit me. You are still planning to come, Christian?" Anton asks Christian.

"Yes. It is in the books." I gasp. He really planned us a trip to Russia.

"Let's get Radost Moya inside." Anton says.

Christian nods and they both get out and Anton scoops me out of the SUV and carries me into the house bridal style. Christian is following closely behind us. Once we're inside, Christian locks the door. They bring me into what looks sort of like our family room and both men strip me out of my dress while laying kisses all over my body. Once I'm standing there naked, they both stand back and look at me. "You two are overdressed." I say.

"We're waiting for you to undress us, Ana." Christian says. I smile and approach them and strip them both as seductively as possible. I really make a show of it. Once they are both naked, Anton approaches me first and he picks me up by my ass and I wrap my legs around him and my arms around his neck. He carries me to another room and when I look at Christian, who is walking behind us, he has an unmistakable smile and he winks at me whenever he sees me looking at him.

We finally go into a room and he sets me down after giving me a passionate kiss. He turns me around and I gasp. A playroom! Both of these men are going to have access to play with me however they want. My smile grows and I turn back around and wrap my arms around Anton first and then my husband. "You did all of this for me?" I ask Anton.

"I did it all for all 3 of us. I know it wouldn't be ideal for me to come to your home with all of your children there and that's where the only playroom that you guys have is. Therefore, this room is built for 2 people to be able to please 1 immensely. Are you ready to play, Ana?" Anton says.

I nod. "What do I call you? Christian is sir."

"You can call me Rytsar." I smile and nod. "Assume the position."

"Yes, Rytsar." And I kneel by the door with my palms flat on my thighs and my eyes cast downward.

I hear the men rustling around the room and I'm wet with anticipation, wondering what they will do with me. Someone comes up behind me and puts a hand on my head. "Stand, Ana." My husband.

I stand and he takes my hair in his hands and braids it. After my hair is braided, he turns me around. "Are you ready, Ana?"

"Yes, sir." He smiles and lifts my chin and kisses me sweetly. I quickly look back down. I don't know if I'm allowed to make eye contact this time.

He puts a blinfold over my eyes. "This is so you don't have to keep your eyes cast downward. I know that you're used to looking into my eyes so I figured that might be hard for you."

"Thank you, sir."

He takes my hand and leads me somewhere. "Put your hands out in front of you, wrists up." Anton instructs me and I do as he asked. He straps what feels like leather cuffs to my wrists. Once my wrists are cuffed they lead me somewhere. I hear the clinking sound of a grid being pulled down. They lift my arms and cuff my wrists to the grid.

"Can't go anywhere now." Anton says and then kisses me sweetly. Both men walk away.

"Make sure to call your safe word if it's too much." Christian tells me.

"Yes, sir." I reply. I hear some stuff being dropped beside me and I jump, slightly startled.

"Relax. We won't hurt you more than you can take." Anton tells me. I nod. Both men start by caressing my body with their hands and mouths and then they use a crop and flogger on me and it thrills me.

Then there's something running over my body that literally sends electrical shocks over my body, my nipples and my mound. "This is a violet wand, Radost Moya. Have you ever had one used on you?" Anton asks.

"No, Rytsar." They pull the wand away and then a little bit later, someone's mouth is mere centimeters from my own.

"I'm electrified, baby." Christian says and then he kisses me deeply and I can feel the shocks that his tongue delivers. He lays kisses down my body and then he licks the length of my core and it delivers a shock. He kisses my clit and it's the same. It feels phenomenal.

Eventually, no one is near me. So far throughout this scene, I've had 4 intense orgasms. Suddenly someone is in front of me and someone is behind me. They unhook my wrists and I'm carried. I'm set down in something that feels like leather and it starts to swing back and forth. Sex swing? My feet are lifted and put into what feels like leather stirrups. Someone takes my hands and places them on something. "Hold on, Ana." Christian says. I nod and hold on. I don't know what's coming next.

I'm adjusted and my head is hanging off the edge slightly. I feel someone between my legs and someone standing at my head. I feel a cock against my lips. "Open up, baby." I open my mouth and he thrusts into it. At the same time, my core is penetrated. What I'm guessing is the magic wand, is pressed up against my clit. "I'm going to fuck your face while Anton fucks you, Ana."

He pulls out. "Yes, sir." He puts it back in my mouth and I begin swinging back and forth between the two and I'm deep throating my husband while Anton fucks me. I feel myself getting extremely close to that edge.

"Come on my cock, Radost Moya." And my first orgasm crashes over me and they both continue to fuck opposite ends of my body. I come 2 more times.

"Come with us, Ana." My husband says. My body responds immediately and the most intense orgasm of the evening crashes over me as my husband empties himself in my throat. My orgasm spurs Anton's and he is soon climaxing with us.

Soon, the swing stops moving and Christian pulls out and I'm gasping. He leans down and kisses me sweetly. "Good girl." He says. He takes the blindfold off of my eyes and Anton pulls out and both men help me up and Anton carries me out of the room and lays me down on a very comfortable bed.

"We will be right back, Radost Moya." I nod and he leaves the room. Soon, both men come into the room and lay on either side of me. I cuddle into my husband's side and lay my head on his chest.

"Thank you both." I say.

"It was our pleasure, baby." My husband says.

Over the course of the night, they make love to me together before I drift off to sleep with my head on my husband's chest and a leg and arm draped over him as Anton lays right behind me with his arm around my waist.

Over the last 3 months, our lives have been blissfully uneventful.

Yesterday, we had Phoebe's 12th birthday and we had Liam's 16th last weekend. Liam officially has his license and Christian purchased him an Audi for his birthday. It's from both of us, but Christian knows more about what cars are the safest so he went and picked it out.

Liam loves his car. He drives the other kids to school now. They just started back to school.

Next month is my birthday and Christian took me to Russia the week before Liam's birthday and we had an amazing time with Anton. Our 3rd anniversary is in 2 months so we will be going on a vacation for that, too. I'm thinking since it's ONLY for our anniversary, it will just be us. Only time will tell.

I've got a new CPO now. His name is Johnson. My dad helped Christian and Taylor find him. Johnson is gay so they don't have to worry about him falling in love with me. He's ex-military. So far, it has worked out well. I think Christian is happy to finally have Taylor back with him.

Mia is now 8 months pregnant with a baby boy.

Christian is having lunch with a business associate today, so I've decided to go to lunch at the café across from the old GP location. I hadn't been here since we moved GP to Grey House. Johnson is waiting for me across the room. I get up and go to use the restroom as soon as my meal is finished. I leave my purse at the table because I know that Johnson will keep an eye on it for me.

I go into the restroom to do my business and after I wash and dry my hands, I exit the bathroom and I immediately get an eerie feeling just before I am grabbed and there's a hand over my mouth. I'm quickly dragged out of a door. Whenever the person gets me to a car, I rear back my elbow and hit the person below the ribs. I turn around and kick who I now know is a man in between his legs and then I kick him over and run as fast as I can down the alley towards the front of the café. I run back in and go straight to Johnson.

"What's wrong, Mrs. Grey?" I am gasping for air.

"There's a man back there. He grabbed me whenever I came out of the bathroom and dragged me to a car. I elbowed him and then kicked him and ran. It's a black town car."

"Stay right here." I nod and he takes off running out of the door. I grab my purse and stand there waiting for him to come back. He finally comes back in. "We have to go now." He says with urgency and I nod as he takes my arm and quickly gets me into the back of the SUV and jumps into the driver's seat and he takes off.

"Did you get him?" I ask.

"No. He shot me and jumped in the car and drove off." I gasp.

"You were shot? Where were you shot?"

"In my stomach. We're going straight to the hospital. Call Mr. Grey and let him know what's going on." I nod and dial my husband's number and put it up to my ear.

"Grey."

"Christian…" is all I get out before a vehicle rams into the side of us and we go spinning into oncoming traffic. The phone goes flying out of my hand and under the seat. We are hit by an oncoming truck and that's the last thing I remember whenever I wake up in what smells and sounds like a hospital.

I open my eyes and see my husband sitting at my bedside holding my hand. "Christian…"

"Shh… Rest your voice, baby."

"What happened?" I barely whisper.

"Well, Johnson was shot. He was driving you both to the hospital whenever the SUV was hit by a vehicle. That caused you to spin into oncoming traffic and a truck hit you. We immediately tracked you after you called and whenever we got to the scene, the police were already there. Johnson was the only one found at the scene. Witnesses identified you being carried away from the scene. They gave the description of the vehicle and you were found about an hour later. Ethan had you."

I gasp. "Injuries?" I ask.

"You've got a fractured leg and arm. Something hit you in the head, so you had a brain bleed, but they stopped it in time. Your clavicle was also fractured, but it was only a hairline fracture. You're going to need physical therapy, but you should be fine."

I nod, trying to soak in all of this information. "How long?" I ask.

"You were unconscious for the last 4 weeks. Your casts should be coming off in just a couple of weeks. Are you in pain?"

I nod.

"Let me get the nurse and let her know that you're awake and that you're in pain." I nod and he leaves the room. The nurse comes back into the room with him and tells me about my injuries herself and she gives me a dose of pain medication.

I feel it pretty much immediately and Christian holds my hand as I drift back off to sleep.

It's been 2 weeks since I woke up from my mini-coma and today I get to go home from the hospital. They already took off my casts and started physical therapy. Christian set it up for Claude to be my physical therapist so that they would let me go home. I miss my kids and Christian tells me how much they miss me.

Johnson fully recovered from his gunshot wound and a broken arm and concussion. He will be back as my CPO whenever I get home.

Mia had her baby 2 weeks ago. After the baby is 6 weeks old, they plan to make a trip to Seattle so that everyone can meet Carrick Alexander Cross.

Whenever we arrive home, Christian scoops me up out of the SUV and carries me inside. We're met by our excited children in the family room. Christian sets me down on the couch and they all take turns hugging me and I hug them back the best that I can right now.

They fill me in on what I've missed over the last 6 weeks. I missed these amazing human beings. They are pretty spectacular in every sense of the word.

After a couple of hours, I tell the kids that I'm tired so they go off and play. I ask Christian to take me to bed. He happily obliges. He gets me upstairs and sets me on the edge of the bed. He goes into my closet and comes back out with a nightie for me. He changes me into it. "Thank you, Christian." I tell him.

"It's not a problem, baby. Get some sleep." He helps me to lay back on the bed. He goes to walk away but I grab his hand.

"Please lay with me. You look like you could use a nap yourself, anyways." He smiles.

"Okay, baby." He takes off all of his clothes except his boxers and climbs into bed beside me I curl up into his side. "Get some sleep. Claude will be here in the morning to start physical therapy with you."

"Yes, sir." He kisses me sweetly and I lay my head on his chest and he holds me. I drift off to sleep pretty quickly.

Over the last 4 weeks, Claude has worked me hard and I am finally able to get around by myself. Christian has been a dream come true throughout my recovery. The kids have also pitched in to help me while Christian is at work. It feels good to not rely solely on them every time I need to do something simple, like use the restroom.

I've made moves to attempt to seduce my husband, but he refuses because he thinks that it will cause problems with my head injury. I'm going to surprise him with a date at the penthouse tonight. I can't wait any longer to have my husband completely anymore.

I even went to the doctor this morning to get proof that I'm okay to have sex. My dad is staying in our house tonight to help the nanny with the kids. He is officially dating Samantha, the woman from the Gala. I'm so happy that he's finally gotten back out there after all of this time.

I stopped at the boutique this afternoon and got new lingerie and a red dress. Christian has always loved seeing me in red. I stopped at the grocery store and got some groceries for the dinner that I'm preparing for my husband. I've already contacted Taylor about bringing him straight over here after he gets off of work.

I'm finishing up cooking whenever I hear the elevator ding, indicating his arrival. I put the plates on the table along with the wine and glasses. I approach the foyer and find my husband standing there talking to Taylor in his crisp grey suit. "Mr. Grey." I say to announce my presence. He turns towards me and his eyes widen.

"You're relieved, Taylor." He says without taking his eyes off me. Taylor walks off and Christian approaches me and wraps his arms around me. "What brings you here, Mrs. Grey?" he asks.

"I just wanted some alone time with my husband. Is that okay?"

He smiles and leans down and kisses me sweetly. "That's perfectly fine, baby."

I take his hand and lead him to the dining room and tell him to have a seat and I sit as well. We eat while sharing casual conversation. I pull my permission from the doctor out of the chair next to me and lay it on the table in front of him. "Ana…" he starts.

I cut him off. "I need you to love your wife, Mr. Grey."

He contemplates this for a few moments. "I'd love to." He looks into my eyes. "You have to promise to tell me if, at any time, you are uncomfortable in any way. Okay?" he adds.

I smile. "I promise, although I won't feel uncomfortable. I'm certain of that."

"Let's take this party to bed, then." He says with a beautiful, panty dropping smile on his ridiculously handsome face. He stands and offers me his hand and I eagerly take it. He scoops me up and carries me up to our bedroom. Once we're in the room and the door is locked, he sets me down and wraps his arms around me and kisses me feverishly. He unzips my dress and pushes it off of my shoulders and it pools at my feet. I step out of it.

Whenever he sees my lingerie, his eyes widen and he growls. His lips crash back into mine. "I think we will leave this on." He says. He leans down and hooks his thumbs into the sides of my panties and slides them down my legs. I step out of them and he makes his way back up my body. He picks me up by my ass and lays me in the center of the bed.

His lips crash back into mine. "You're too dressed, Mr. Grey." I whisper against his lips. He gets off of the bed after giving me another sweet kiss. I watch as my husband slowly strips out of his clothes. I can't help but to admire his beautiful body as he strips.

"Like what you see, Mrs. Grey?" he asks.

"Very much so, and I love that it is all mine." I reply.

"Forever, baby." He says and I smile. Once he is naked, he towers back over me "What do you want, Ana?"

"I want you to fuck me, Mr. Grey." I reply and as soon as the words are out of my mouth, he thrusts his entire length into me at once. "FUCK YES!!" I scream and he smirks at me just before his lips crash back into mine. He begins stroking me from the inside, hard and fast.

After my 3rd orgasm, he tells me to come with him and my body immediately responds and we come together gloriously. "I love you, Ana." He whispers against my lips.

"I love you, too, Christian." I reply. He kisses me sweetly as he pulls out and lies down beside me. I curl up into his side and lay my head on his chest and drape my arm and leg over him. He has his arm wrapped around me. "Thank you, Christian." I say.

"It was my pleasure, baby." He replies.

"I want more." I say and he chuckles.

"Then it is more you shall have." He says. "Hands and knees, baby." He instructs me.

I do as he asks and throughout the remainder of the night, we partake in many sexual shenanigans. At daylight, we fall asleep, safe and sated, in each other's arms.
