Welcome back my loves! Hope you enjoy it! As usual, I do not own anything except the storyline, and with the help of my editor Ari, here is chapter 10!
Once they were outside, Ana turned around to face Christian. He half expected for her to say something, honestly, anything at this point. Yet Ana said nothing. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss. Suddenly all the emotions both of them had were front and center, with neither wanting the other to stop. Christian found his hands wanting to roam Ana's body, to peel away the dress that clung to her body, but it wasn't the place. "As much as I want to show you exactly what I'm feeling… Can we go back to your room?" Christian smirked as they rested their foreheads against one another.
"Sounds like the perfect plan."
Moving about the lobby, the world melted around them. Neither of them cared about the outside world. Once in the elevator, Christian pushed Ana against the elevator's wall and dominated her mouth. It was like a fire finally burning to the highest degree. Ana's own hands lifted above her head while Christian moved to nip at Ans's neck, a moan escaped her lips needing more. "Christian!" She closed her eyes when his lips found hers again. "God, Christian." She moaned through their kiss before the elevator stopped on Ana's level. She craved the man who made her emotions jump all over the place. In her heart, she knew they had a lot to discuss, but right now she didn't care about anything but the man staring at her.
Christian's eyes bore into hers, "You should probably open the door before I strip you here and now, I won't care who sees." Something in his voice made Ana know he wasn't kidding. After the door popped open, Christian quickly pushed the door open before pulling Ana to him. Neither wasted time switching on the lights, Ana attempted to guide them into the right room. If they were going to have sex for the first time together, she was doing it on this comfortable bed they upgraded her to.
Ana's eyes traveled down to where their hands were joining. Even in the short time they'd been apart, it felt like at this moment she could finally breathe again. When she looked at Christian's eyes, they mirrored her own feelings. How was this so intense after so little time? It seems like a roller coaster ride that takes off faster than lightning and has a lot of twists and turns. Something she wasn't exactly ready for, but really couldn't help herself in experiencing. "We have to talk." Christian was about to rebut what she said when her finger went over his lips. "But right now, please just kiss me again. Show me…"
Christian released her hand from his before engulfing his lips with hers. His hands held her face close to his as the kisses became more aggressive. "Ana, I need you, baby. Tell me you want this. I know we need to talk, but I…"
Ana placed a finger over his lips to silence him, turned in his arms, and looked over her shoulder, her eyes melting with want before they landed on her back. "Christian, please. I need you to unzip it." Ana bit her lip seductively. Christian's classic smirk was enticing and drawing her in.
Every time the zipper got lower, Christian laid a wet kiss on the spot. Each kiss caused her heart to jump with anticipation. Licking his lips, Christian unsnapped her bra with a smirk. It felt like forever, but the second the dress and bra hit the floor, Ana turned and kissed him. Her eyes closed and their tongues fighting for dominance. Ana's fingers raked through his hair before she began pulling his shirt apart in a hurry. She needed to feel his chest against hers. "Someone is eager. I was truly trying to take my time with you." Christian smirked before lightly pushing Ana onto the bed, and quickly he then began stripping himself, only leaving his boxers on. Christian didn't take long to join her on the bed, "My, my you look good enough to eat." Ana didn't know what he was going to do and to her surprise, his mouth didn't go to her lips but to her nipple. His tongue twirled her left nipple around causing her to arch her back groaning. It drove her crazy, the sensation rippling through her like a fire. Christian bit down lightly causing Ana to let out a deep moan, the pain and pleasure were driving her crazy. Christian pulled away, admiring her naked body. "Tell me what you want, Anastasia. I need to hear you say it please."
Ana looked up at him… she needed him. She couldn't deny it nor was there a piece of her that didn't want to be with him at this moment. "I need you, Christian, I need you to make me yours." She told him as she pulled him down to kiss her lips. She kissed him with the hunger and need she had been feeling.
Christian relished in the thought of her being his. He returned her kiss and kissed her harder and deeper. When he broke the kiss, he kissed down her neck to her breasts and nipples. Trailing kisses down to where she needed him the most. Christian dragged her panties off and admired how beautiful she looked bare for him. As he pulled off his boxers, Ana couldn't contain the blush nor the gasp that escaped her lips at his very impressive member. Christian gave her a salacious grin as he lowered himself back on top of her. Kissing her passionately, he whispered against her lips, "Your mine Ana." before he made his way down to her sex. Slowly he kissed her lower lips, making Ana purr arching her back.
His slow licks up and down while he spread the lips of her sex, made her desires grow. He started nipping and sucking harder and Ana suddenly felt him insert a finger, then another while she enjoyed his lips on her. Christian could tell she was on the edge of her orgasm, so he curled his fingers, hitting her spot while he bit down on her clit. Ana screamed his name and felt her release flow all over his face. Christian couldn't contain the smug look on his face as he made his way up to kiss her lips. She could taste her release on his lips, and it was the sexiest thing she had ever encountered. "Well, seems like I have a squirter on my hands." Ana blushed and tried to hid her face but Christian moved so she could face him before he kissed her slowly "Don't hide from me Ana, it's amazing that your body responds to me that way. Never hide from me." Something in his voice pulled at her heartstrings; she was sure it wasn't just this, but something else he was talking about.
Christian got off the bed looking for his pants; Ana sat up and looked at him confused, "Where are you going? What are you doing?" Christian pulled the condom out of his pants, flashing it to Ana. This caused Ana to blush and giggle slightly. She plucked it out of his hand before throwing it on their pile of clothes. "I get the shot every three months. And I'm clean. After everything I went through with Jose, I made sure I was free of anything. Besides that, I never had sex without a condom with him, so…" She saw a few things go across his face as he just stared at her. "But if you feel better with one…"
Christian stood there in amazement, not just because she was clean, but to know he'd be her first without a condom; it was the best feeling, knowing that he'd be able to feel her completely. He pulled her face close to his before kissing her hard. With both their blood pumping, Christian didn't hesitate in picking her back up and carrying her to the bed, never breaking their kiss. Once they were on the bed, he broke their kiss and just stared at her before kissing her lips softly. "I'm clean too. I haven't slept with anyone in a while and I'd never put you in danger, Ana."
Christian locked eyes with Ana as he held his member in his hand and slowly stroked it and slid it up and down her wet slit. Taking a deep breath, he looked into her eyes as she pushed her hips up to meet him. He slowly sunk into her and stilled as he relished in how tight and wet she was. A moan escaped her lips, she couldn't stop moaning at how complete he made her feel with him inside of her. She never had someone as big as Christian before, and it took a minute for them to adjust a bit to his size. "Please move, Christian. I want to feel all of you, please." Her begging was causing his heart to beat faster with the desire dripping from her. Without hesitation, he pulled out slowly before slamming back into her. He felt himself growl as he felt her scratch his back. It was a primal feeling that no woman ever got out of him. Anastasia was going to be the death of him. Their bodies fit perfectly together, causing Christian to push himself deeper into her.
"God, Ana! Baby, you're so tight!" Christian let out another growl as he felt her tighten around him. The former Dom watched as Ana's body moved with him no matter what speed he produced.
"I want to ride you, Christian," Ana admitted bashfully before licking her lips. Christian didn't skip a beat as he flipped her so she was on top of him. She slowly sunk on his cock and Christian couldn't help but moan louder. She rocked her hips and moved harder and faster on him. He gripped her hips tighter and pulled her down onto him deeper. Ana couldn't help herself as her body took on a life of its own. Every time she moved with him, she craved more. Ana leaned down to she captured his lips with hers, the passion was engulfing them both with how intense they were with one another. He was on the edge of his orgasm but needed Ana to get there first.
Quickly Christian pulled out, earning a groan from Ana before moving her onto her stomach before he quickly entered her from behind. Gently he pulled her up to him, her back to his front. He was trying his hardest not to release early, but Ana's walls were clutching his cock and it was honestly the best feeling in the world. "Christian I…." She moaned as his hand slowly found its way down to her clit; "Oh god Christian, I don't know if I can hold on much longer."
"Oh, my little firefly, you won't have to. Let go, my sweet firefly… Let go…" He pushed against her harder before moving quicker; they both craved the release and with another few pumps Ana and Christian both climax. Christian's movements didn't stop until Ana let her body fall onto the bed in exhaustion. Christian pulled out before lying next to Ana who was dripping with sweat, "I'm going to go shower real quick, unless…." Ana licked her lip smirking at Christian knowing her desires were flaring up again.

Ana was the first to wake up after their multiple lovemaking sessions. The memory of what they shared came flooding back to her as she moved to look at him. Resting comfortably on his chest, Ana listened as his breathing was steady and his heartbeat was strong. She couldn't help but smile at how perfectly they seemed to fit lying close. Untangling herself from him, Ana grabbed a robe from the bathroom and wrapped herself in it before opening the double doors that led to the balcony. It was dark out and the stars were brightly on display for her to gaze into. She searched them for the answers on her mind; she wasn't regretting the night's events, but his past with Leila was a hurdle she had to get through. She knew from the outside some people wouldn't understand why it bothered her so much. It was a question she had been trying to think through herself; was it the fact that it was her again interjecting herself in Ana's life, or maybe it was the fact that she had Christian before Ana did. Honestly, it was the fact that she had to find out from someone else. Yeah, they had only talked about her ex a few times, but he knew about Leila, it wasn't like he didn't. Ana's fingers combed through her hair as she let out a sigh, Leila was a sour subject for Ana, the pain she had inflicted on her for the last few months just made it even harder to accept Christian and his past. It was like an open wound that refuses to heal no matter what she did.
As she closed her eyes, she let the wind try to wipe the thoughts filling her mind. She wanted to try her hardest to not give whoever sent those pictures the satisfaction of breaking her spirits. Biting her lip, she opened up her eyes to see the stars still staring back at her. The late May air cooling and calming her own uncertainty finally. It was her favorite time of year when the fireflies were a lot more active. "You know the stars don't always have the answers." Ana turned to see a boxer wearing Christian staring back at her as he leaned against the balcony door. A smirk crossed his lips as he moved to stand behind her. "Penny for the thoughts running through your head? It's scary how I can almost see the wheels turning in hyper-drive in your head." Wrapping his arms around her, he couldn't help but smile at the way they fit perfectly in one another's arms. He softly placed a kiss on the top of her head before resting his chin lightly on the same spot. "What's troubling you, firefly?"
"You know, driving up here, I kept wondering what was causing me to react the way I did to those pictures. It honestly started about being a bunch of things. It was like all I could see was red. But…" She paused and turned to face him; their eyes bore into one another, both of them trying to convey the emotions felt in both their hearts. "But it took really thinking about things to know that it was just that you kept things from me. It hurts, you know? I've told you what happened between Jose and me; it's just I wish you were honest with me. I get why you wanted to protect what we had, but we were moving into such a good place, Christian, we could've gotten through it."
Christian shook his head before looking back at Ana. "You're right. I was trying to protect you from the truth and maybe in a way, I was avoiding the truth because I knew what she did to you and I didn't want to have that weighing on us. But you have to understand, I was going to tell you." Christian knew that line wouldn't be much of a believable one after what he'd done, but he hoped eventually she would see that he was turning a new leaf for them. "Ana, I wish I could take it back."
"I know and honestly I wish you could too." Ana sighed as she leaned back before closing her eyes and taking in what they were talking about. Ana knew forgiving him was something she wanted, but honestly, she was trying not to overthink anything anymore, especially after what she'd been through with Jose. Christian meant more to her than some silly insecurity that Leila always made her feel. Ana knew he was being honest, but there was a piece of her that still felt the burn of Leila affecting her life somehow. "Let's just take this as a moment where we both have to learn to communicate Christian. I really don't want either of us going through this again. I think we'll both use this as a learning experience, to be honest, and open." Ana wanted to believe that this was possible. She wanted to stop feeling like she was some fragile human that couldn't handle someone's past. Even though a piece of her was full of frustration, but she was going to move past it.
Christian ran his hand across Ana's cheek. He watched as her eyes closed and her make-up-free face seem to soften quickly. "I'm going to prove to you that things will change and we can get through this…"

July 17th
Ana was checking her watch for the 100th time during the day. She was anxious knowing her father was coming to visit for a few days; this would be the first time Christian would meet her dad, and it was a big first. Brittany couldn't stop herself from laughing a bit seeing how nervous Ana was; especially knowing that she usually had nerves of steel. Raking her fingers through her hair, Ana tried her best to stay focus and attentive throughout the meeting, but her mind drifted to her father and the hope he and Christian got along for the entire visit.
A few days prior
Ana was sitting on her couch in the living room when she heard the phone ring. A smile formed once she heard the special tone. "Hi, dad!" Her smile grew once she heard the grunting reply fill her ear. She had missed living closer to her dad, but he moved to California to be closer to his mom. "I was thinking of you today, you must have known." Ray had been Ana's father since a year into her life and stayed close to her after her mom divorced him to marry some other guy. Ray honestly had become Ana's only parent because of her mother essentially abandoning her after Ana had a run-in with Carla's husband.
"My sweet daughter, I've been thinking of you too." His voice sounded different, for once it wasn't laced with pain or sadness, it truly seemed lighter. "Grandma and grandpa say hi, so does your aunt May." Ana's 'grandparents were the grandparents that spoiled each grandkid in their own way. When her grandma got sick, Ana had spared no expense to make sure she was comfortable. "Both want to know when you can come to visit. Eric Kavanagh tells me you and Kate are going to New York for your birthday this year. Maybe you could take a few extra days off and come visit your grandparents. I'm sure they would be excited." Ana knew her father was right, and it took all of her to not fly down there now, but it was in the middle of bride season, so it was unlikely.
"Yeah, let's set it up for the 12th through the 18th." Ana smiled, hoping it wouldn't be too much for her grandparents to go to Disney with her. It had been a few years, but it was always her and her papa's tradition anytime she was in town.
Ana could hear Ray trying to ask a question, which made her smile because she figured it was probably about Christian. "Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks. I've been wanting to see the house you bought. And… I'm looking forward to meeting this guy you're seeing." Ana rolled her eyes, knowing that Ray had been wanting to meet Christian since the day they talked about him. It was funny, Ana couldn't believe how quickly Ray turned on Jose after everything. It scared a piece of her thinking he'd want Ana and Jose to work out, but he surprised her. He chewed out Jose the last time they talked months ago.
"He's going to pick you up at the airport because Emma's birthday is the same day and I'm hosting a little lunch-in since she's been on bed rest since the pregnancy. I can cancel if you want me to pi-"
Ray laughed before shaking his head. "Oh Annie, I will not scare away this boy. I promise." He laughed, thinking of his father's own reaction. "Grandpa George is the one you should fear, not your dad."
"Ana?" Brittany's voice shook her out of her daydream and back into reality and the memory faded. Looking around Ana saw that the meeting was over instantly her own relief hit finally. She really couldn't control the thoughts going through her mind, the last thing she wanted was for her own anxiety to overwhelmed her again. "Ana," Ana turned to face Britt; she felt a little bad knowing that she was zoning out here and there. "Kate, Meghan, Emma, and Mia are waiting for us to head to lunch." Sighing, she bit her lip nervously, knowing she was going to have to wait a few hours before knowing if Christian and Ray survived their first meeting. "Before you ask, Christian knows to pick up your dad. Ari already confirmed it with Andrea and everything is okay. Just breath. You know your dad is going to like him. I mean, he is actually a decent human, a BIG step up from your ex. So I feel like it'll be fine. So breath."
Easier said than done. "Britt, this is a big deal. Like things with Christian since the whole Leila thing has been great. I just need them to enjoy one another and get along so I can actually feel like things are as good as I want them to be."
Brittany hadn't seen Ana this nervous since she and Leila first started the company. It was weird and odd. A person who seemed to know how to talk to brides and high maintenance women who are about to have meltdowns with power and calmness. Yet, this was what was making her crack. She truly cared about this man and her father's opinion of him. "Ana let's have lunch with the girls and then you can see your dad and Christian. I know it's difficult, but try to enjoy the afternoon. Emma needs this and I'm thinking you do too."
The group of ladies had decided on a little Italian joint down the street from Eclipse Events' building. Ana was content with the ability to relax for the first time in a while. Summer was one of the busiest times of the year, and though she welcomed the business, it was nice to just enjoy dinner with her closest friends. "Ana!" Smiling, Ana saw Emma glowing as she waved at her. Ana was happy to see how much healthier she looked since taking a step back from everything. "It's been too long!"
Ana squeezed her co-owner/closest friend tightly. She couldn't hide how content she was being in her presence. "Oh god, you're glowing Ems. You're what three months along."
Emma sat down next to Kate and across from Ana. "About to hit my fourth month. Seems our little bundle has been hiding for a bit. It overjoyed Killian knowing we finally are pregnant, but his protectiveness is getting a tad out of control." That was the understatement of the year. But in the same breath, Ana couldn't blame him. After being told it would be a miracle if Emma could have kids then to find out she was caring one, it scared him. 'I wonder how Christian would be…' 'Where did that come from?' The thought confused her own mind. "Anyhow, not the point. I'm so happy you all could come to lunch. I know you all have extremely social lives."
Kate rolled her eyes before looking at the group of women. "Honestly, I'm just trying to keep my shit together for another two months. I just want to get to our New York trip." Ana was feeling like Kate was more excited than she was for her birthday trip. "Bright lights and Hamilton. I feel like it's going to be a dream trip." Kate smirked knowingly. A few days ago Christian had snagged a few favors for Ana's upcoming birthday. Not only were they going to see Hamilton, but Christian had organized for them to meet the cast after the show was over. At first, Kate was a little annoyed with the fact that Christian was planning on tagging along, but then she remembered the new, happier side of Ana; her annoyance went away so quickly.
"I wish I was going! I'm so jealous." Ana smiled knowing she was sad about her not being able to go, but she wouldn't change it for the world knowing she was pregnant with her little one. "But I cant wait to hear all about it when you get back home."
Ana bit her lip, "Actually, Christian and I are going to go to California for a week. My grandma hasn't been doing too well and my grandpa has been chopping at the bits for me to come out for my birthday. So I told dad I would go visit as long as we keep it a surprise from my grandparents. Since it'll be a week later, I want to do something unexpected." Ana was nervous to have her grandparents meet Christian, especially after the last one didn't go very well.
"How I wish I could be a fly on the wall when your grandpa meets him." The girls couldn't stop laughing as Emma shook her head. This was exactly what Ana needed.

Christian couldn't stop checking his watch throughout the day. He had to get plenty of work done before five pm today because he volunteered to pick up Ray Steele, something he was currently regretting. It wasn't meeting Ana's father that worried him; it was that this was the first parent of a partner that he'd ever met. He didn't really know how to impress someone like him. From what Ethan and Kate have said, Ana takes after her father and that meant money did not impress him, which also meant that he'd have to find another way to win over Ray Steele. His own worry was causing him to not be able to focus all morning. Many things could go wrong, and for once Christian Grey couldn't predict any of them.
"Sir?" Christian's thoughts were mostly forgotten as he saw Andrea walk in with Taylor following behind. He couldn't help but notice how serious Taylor looked. Something that concerned him far more than he could imagine. "Mr. Grey, I know you said that you didn't want to be bothered this afternoon, but Taylor says it is important."
Taylor sat across from Christian before placing a few files in between them. Taylor waited until Christian had taken in the files to explain things further. "I've had a few men following both Jose and Leila for the time being, since the whole picture incident. They've been extremely quiet until a few weeks ago. At first, I thought little of it until I got this report across my desk." Christian looked through the file, it was loaded with images of Ana at work and some of her just doing everyday things. Yet that wasn't the worst of it; there in front of him was a close-up picture of her sleeping in her own bed alone. This worried him; it wasn't just the fact that someone was stalking her, but they could get this close without a care in the world. "I was wondering myself how they got this close with the protections we've put on her, and Sawyer and I are pretty sure there's someone on the team that is turning a blind eye."
Christian's head snapped up to look at Taylor with a murderous look in his eye "I want to know whose behind letting Jose get this close. I know it's him and Leila." He needed to prove it to a judge or something. Christian was sure Ana was a sitting duck in her own home, throw her father into the mix it stressed him out to not know how to protect her. "Ana's father is coming into town today and I have to figure out how to get Ana and him to stay at my place without telling her about this." It was frustrating because he knows he should tell Ana, but how do you tell someone they shouldn't feel safe at home. Especially when their boyfriend promised to keep her safe, even hire security, yet those same people can't even protect her. Raking his hands through his hair, he pulled at it, frustrated about the situation.
Taylor could tell how much it was affecting Christian, even he was trying to keep his own composure as his boss seemed to lose his. "Sir, I would strongly advise you to tell Ms. Steele. If I can speak freely, sir; it didn't seem to work with keeping it from her two months ago. It probably won't help the situation if you both fall back into the habit of lying to one another. Also, I don't think her father would take too kindly to you do that to his daughter. Speaking as a father, I would probably kick your ass myself."
Listening to Taylor talk, Christian grew more and more uncomfortable with the information given to him. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he calmly sent a text to Ana asking her to call him. This wasn't exactly the mindset he wanted to meet Ana's dad with, but this was unfortunately the cards dealt. "Taylor, I don't care how it's done. I want to know who is behind helping Jose and Leila. I want you and Sawyer to keep this to yourselves; we have to assume that whatever gets out to the teams is being leaked to Jose or Leila." Taylor agreed with Christian. This was quickly going to escalate if things didn't change. "I will talk to Ana and Ray tonight. I want Sawyer to pick Ana up, I'll let everyone in the family know what's going on, but I do not want anyone to know about these files. Our family is pretty tight-lipped about personal things, but I don't even want to risk it."
"Agreed. I would also suggest as hard as it will be, I don't think you should deviate from whatever you have planned. If we do at any time I feel like it would cause our plan to fall apart."
Frustrated with the fact that Taylor was right, Christian pinched the bridge of his nose again. "I'm pretty sure I could get off if I killed Jose for putting us through all this bull." Pausing, he tried to regain himself, unsatisfied with the situation Christian was attempting to ignore the worry building. "Fine, but I want you to find some activities we can do with my family and Ana's dad. I'll feel better knowing we're all together." Taylor nodded in agreement before walking out.

With lunch gone, Kate, Ana, Mia, Meghan, Emma, and Brittany just sat around the table making light conversation. Kate looked up from the table to notice the last person she wanted to see. "I would strongly advise you Jose to keep your trap shut and walk away." Ana followed where Kate was looking, the urge to punch him became her only thought.
"Jose, turn around and leave. You know you're not supposed to be within 100 ft of Ana or her family. I know you got the notice the lawyer sent over." Meghan commented
Jose just stood there laughing at the fiery best friend's bark, he'd known Kate for years and knew she hardly followed through with her threats. "I came to talk to Anastasia, not you Katherine. I would advise you to keep your mouth shut." He smirked, turning to Meghan. "As for that restraining order, it's a piece of paper Meggie." Meghan hated Jose, probably more than Kate, especially learning a few things from Ethan about him. Quickly, as Jose turned to face Ana, she hid her hands to text her husband. She didn't want to cause a scene, but he didn't trust Jose to not do something. "I see you're still with Grey. I figured you would see what he's into and run for the hills."
Ana was trying to keep from making a scene, even though he was pushing every button possible. "Jose, this is none of your business. Last time I checked, you cheated on me with my business partner; so I'm unsure why you keep showing up when you're not invited." Why did Ana have this kind of bad luck? Biting back the bile that was feeling her mind as she stared at her toxic ex. "I think you should go, Jose, I don't see what the point of this is except to be an ass."
"I have my reasons." Jose laughed before dangling her lost necklace. "I found this a couple of months ago. I've been meaning to see you, but your boyfriend keeps intruding on my time."
Truly, this man must have enormous balls to be doing this in a public place, knowing she wouldn't react the way she wanted to. "Ana…" Brittany warned, nodding her head to the left. Ana saw a few people staring in their direction.
"I know damn well where you found that necklace and I'm going to give you one chance to give it back." Ana was getting truly pissed, this wasn't what she needed today. Adrenaline rushed through her as she attempted to reach for her necklace; frowning, she missed it and had to hear his laugh. "What the hell did I do to deserve this treatment from you again? Not only have you cheated on me, you've broken into my house and stolen from me, but now you've dangled the most important thing in my face." Ana turned to her friends, "I'm not doing this… can we just go…" Brittany frowned, seeing how much Ana was trying to keep herself together; it was horrible because she knew she was trying to not stress everyone else out. "Mia, can you and Brittany please take Emma home? I don't want her overwhelmed or anything." Both nodded before ushering Emma to Mia's car. Kate turned to look at her best friend. You could see the cracks in the walls Ana had up. "Kate, I just want to leave. He's not going to give it to me and I'm not doing this here…."
Jose smirked following the girls outside. He loved knowing how to get under her skin. It was the best feeling to know he could break her at any moment. "I think I'll hold on to this a little longer… I'll be seeing you soon…" With one last smirk, he moved to walk down the street."
"Breath Ana," Kate whispered to her best friend as she ushered her few saw Anastasia Steele in this state, but Jose seemed to always make matters horrible. "Ana let's get you home… Ray should be there soon…"
Let me know what you think! Sending lots of love your way!
