Chapter Twenty-Four

Ana Steele

By one AM I lay wide awake in my hospital room staring at the ceiling as I try to get used to the idea of me being engaged. I'm Christian Grey's fiancé. OMG! I yelled in my head out of excitement. I'm going to be Mrs. Christian Grey. The thought is exhilarating. We have quite a bit to talk about our future together, I know the subject of my playhouse is going to come into the works here. He would probably want me to stop at all on one stage. But even though I don't have any physical contact with any of my clients, I love giving people what that fantasies about all their lives and I love reading people. Maybe I'm just getting a bit ahead of myself here, I don't know. But let's just keep that thought on the back burner for now. I'm watched Christian sleep and it was always a fascination of mine when we were in school together too.

'Please stop Miss Steele.' He spoke with his eyes still closed.

'Why? I love looking at you, Mr. Grey.' I breathed, smiling at him.

'That is usually what I do.' He spoke as his eyes flutter open.

'You do?'

'Yes, Miss Steele. How are you feeling sweet girl?'

'I'm alright. I would really like to go home today. I've never been a fan of hospitals.'

'Yes, I'm no fan myself. We'll see what mother says later. It's only three in the morning now. Just try and get some more sleep okay. We'll see what will happen later.' He kissed my forehead and I looked up at him.

'I love you, Mr. Grey.'

'I have always loved you, Miss Steele. I have never really gotten over you since we broke up.'

'Well, Christian I am not going anywhere now. I'm right here and now we'll be Mr. and Mrs. Grey real soon.'

'That is the best gift you could have ever given me, Miss Steele.'

'Really?'

'Yes, ma'am. When will you like to get married then Miss Steele?'

'I would really like to have Ray here so let's say beginning to middle August.'

'Very well Miss Steele the 15th of August it is then but not a day longer. I would like to have you legally mine before Christmas.'

'Yes, master Grey. As you wish.'

'Now on to other matters, Miss Steele. About your business Miss Steele.'

'What about it Mr. Grey? What is troubling you so much on this early morning?'

'For now, nothing is troubling me at all Milady but we will have to talk about it later and I will allow you to keep working your clients for the next few months or a year but after that, we will have to reevaluate our situation.'

'Mr. Grey, I know this subject would have come up sooner or later. Since it is all out now, I would like you to know now that I really love to make peoples wild fantasies come true and I love reading my clients and knowing even before they all do what that want and giving it to them.' He just listened me out and nod his head.

'Very well Miss Steele. We will have this discussion at a later date.'

'Thank you, master Grey.' He leans in and gave me a kiss. My nurse came in later to write down all my readings of my monitors and when she left again, I fell back asleep.

Finally, after a whole week in the hospital, I could go back home and not just home, my very own apartment. The summer Seattle weather is setting in and we have our hot days and then we all have our wet days. I finally started at SIP and boy was it everything I dreamed it would be. Now, my boss, Jack Hyde is something of a questionable creature. He really is a truly creepy asshat. His moods are like the tides of the ocean, one day it's up in the clouds and the other days he is down in the dumps where he barks at me for no particular reason.

He wanted to drag me with him to New York for a week to attend a publishing conference with him and I said thank you, but a big NO THANK YOU. I don't want to be seen in public with him.(Although I would have really loved to go, but not with him.) It is bad enough I have to work for him. If only I can whip him into submission in one of my playroom's then that will make me happy. Between Grace, Mia and my mother they are all helping me to arrange my wedding before Ray is getting back. I have called Ray last week on the 26th of June and he said he can only get a flight back on the 5th of August and so it all started.

Everything is now booked and paid for in full. My dress fitting is in two days and I'm working my butt off while Jack is away at his conference. I've told Christian all about Mr. Jack Hyde and he always has such a discussed look on his face when I tell him about Jack. Now, what can I say or do? Christian is after all my boss's boss's boss. Yet a very sexy one to top things off in the end.

I finally gave my realtor the go-ahead to bring me an offer to purchase contract and I bought my current apartment I'm living in. I know I've done this without Christian knowing but we can always sell it later. Now for our hanging question between us what will happen later with my playhouses when he want's me to stop. I can't just throw my people out on the street they all depend on their salaries they make at the playhouse. Oh what a predicament I'm in, I really don't want to sell my playhouses. This will take careful planning.

~~~OoO~~~

I just walked into SIP at seven AM and Jack left a heap load of work on my desk. I got to work on it so by the time he gets in at eight AM, everything is done and I sat down and got to work. By nine AM I was up to date and busy answering Jack's calls and I was rather busy. By eleven AM a huge bunch of lovely smelling red roses arrived for me by delivery. Awe...It's from Christian. I text him a huge thank you. By noon I kept myself busy with newly submitted manuscripts I have to read through and in so I can't get my lazy ass of a boss's lunch for him while I kept busy reading. Some of these manuscripts really stink and there really is no originality to any of them.

Well, at least I'm doing what I want to do. By evening I pack up and save my last written report and send to Jack and then CC in the department heads to the same e-mail. I got in my car and drove off to my playhouse and have four booked sessions with my clients then drove to my own apartment. I got a phone call from Christian just wanting to know if I'm alright. I assured him that I am perfectly fine and we made dinner plans for tomorrow night at Escala. I got in a bath and even washed my hair and I was soon in bed.

I fell asleep rather quickly and dreamed of Christian and myself at our wedding in a few months. It was such a perfect dream. The next morning I got to the office at seven AM my usual time and like the past two weeks I have a few stacked documents that need filing and I got to it and start to get myself organized for the day. I have a second stack of paperwork and it's about four manuscripts so I start reading and before I knew it's ten in the morning and my stack of manuscripts are growing and Jack is in one of his sour moods. How can one man be this unstable, seriously?

He barked at me from his office to get him some coffee. I know everyone around me can hear him and me how I respond to his rudeness. If only I can get him in one of my playrooms I can whip this filthy rudeness right out of him. By late afternoon I couldn't stand his rudeness anymore so I took off on the dot when the clock hit closing time. Without a goodbye for the evening to Jack, I just left. I heard him bark some more orders at me from his office I just ignore him and walked on. I wave at Claire goodbye and got in my car and drove over to my man's place.

I got to Escala and Christian was on his phone. Taylor took my coat and showed me in and I just kicked off my shoes next to the dining table and rushed over to where Christian was looking out over greater Seattle below. I wrap my man in my arms and I just rest my head on his chest. He looks so surprised at me as I just keep holding him around his waist. He later wrapped his one arm around me and kissed the top of my head. He kept talking to someone named Ros and finally hung up.

'Hey, Miss Steele, your home early?'

'Hi, yeah I got off on time and raced over here. I really didn't have a nice day and you always make everything better so I couldn't wait to see you, Mr. Grey.'

'What happened?' He asked cupping my one cheek and smoothing my windblown hair back.

'Jack Hyde, he barked at me all day like I'm so beneath him. I know I'm supposed to learn but... Don't worry about it. How was your day Mr. Grey?' I rather change the subject.

'Busy. Had a meeting this morning at the university and some more back here at Grey House. So overall a very productive day Miss Steele. Now tell me more about your boss.'

'Okay, here is the story. For the past month, since I officially started there, I would get to the office at seven in the morning and get all the stacked up work Jack left on my desk from the evening before I would get everything updated even before he get's into the office at nine AM. Then some mornings he will bark at me just for no particular reason or order me to get his coffee, I don't mind the coffee so much as the way he talks to me no matter how nice I try to talk to him he is always too ugly towards me. Maybe it is just my face that makes him so awful I don't know. Then other days it's really nice in the office. I just can't get how a man's moods can flux some much. Isn't it suppose to be us woman with the up and down moods, not you guys.'

'Maybe his estrogen levels are higher than normal.' Christian cracked a joke. But I can see what I'm telling Christian is bothering him. We sat down and ate dinner. By the end of the evening, we even worked a session in between us and I drove back home, while being escorted by Taylor. I took a nice bath and climb into bed. Oh, thank heavens it's Friday tomorrow. With that thought, I drift off.

Friday morning and it's casual Fridays in the office and with my skinny jeans on I sat down at my desk at seven AM and got busy with work. I worked hard getting all my typing updated of all the letters Jack wants to send out by snail mail to our author's and I have to type out about thirty to forty-five personalized letter and fold them and place them in the envelopes. Jack's bad mood all week is on a special high today. He yelled at me for his coffee and I got up to go get it for him when I walked right into Christian with Roach at his side when they both and the whole office heard how Jack was yelling at me not nicely.

I'm only halfway now with all the letters I've already typed out. I nod my head at my two big bosses then raced off to go get Jack his coffee. Ten minutes later I returned with a tray of coffees on it. I place the tray with Roach and Christian's coffee's on Jack's table. I briefly looked at Jack's ashen face as I close the door and caught a glimpse of Christian's eyes on me. That made me smile and I got back to my enveloping job and I finally placed stamps on the letters and hand it to the mailman when he gave the stack of office mail to Claire.

I can't believe Roach and Christian are still in Jack's office. It's been three hours already. What could they possibly be talking about for so long? I answered the phone a couple of times and then got to work on my new manuscripts and so I started to read all of them only the first three chapters. I write my reports and then took lunch after three in the afternoon. I got myself some tea and I made the three men a new cup of coffee's and took it all for them. I removed the old empty cups as Jack and Roach fought out some issues. I retreated quickly and Christian handed me his phone on my way out so I can answer his calls.

I smiled at him and close the office door behind me and started to type up the last of my manuscript reports and file it all away. Now I am done for the day and all I can do now at five in the afternoon for the next thirty minutes is to only answer the phones. It started to ring and I worked back and forth between the office and Christian's phone. Now the noises that are coming from the office is loud enough for the whole world to hear. Jack's office door flew open and Jack stormed out of his office straight towards me.

'This... this is all your fault! Bitch!' Jack yelled at me, I looked at him very surprised and then he slapped me twice really hard across my face. The whole office was in an instant uproar and then the closes men around me stormed Jack and Christian was the first one to lay a perfect nose-breaking punch on Jack's face. I was just sitting stunned in my office chair. Christian was at my side in no time and all the other woman in the office ran for ice for my face. I held it to my face.

'Ana, speak to me, baby?' Christian cupped my face so gently.

'It hurts and my lip stings.' I spoke up. Claire was with me rubbing my back as Christian look me over. Taylor and the building security helped Jack to his feet made sure he packed only his personal things and through Jack Hyde out on the sidewalk on his big fat ass. Roach turned to us and he saw my face as it started to turn blue.

'Miss Steele you may pack up and go home for the day and I'll see you first thing Monday morning in my office.'

'Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.' I said and Christian waited for me to pack my things. I hand him his phone with all of his messages I took for him. I saved all my open documents and then turned off my computer.

We walked out of the building and Taylor drove my car and Christian is driving me back to my apartment and I pack a weekend bag. He was driving us to Escala when I reminded him I have seven important clients I need to service tonight and he made a U-turn driving towards my playhouse now. He doesn't look very happy.

'Would you please speak to me?' I finally uttered into the stretching silence.

'Ana I'm still pissed off that I had to witness a man assault my fiancé and you want to service your clients. So no matter what I say I am going to sound beyond mad and you want to go wipe your clientele into submission.'

'You know yourself in the business world clients always come before yourself and it is the same with mine. All personal shit aside.' I barked at him. He sighed then just kept silent. He racked his two hands through his hair in frustration. We got to my playhouse and my staff were shocked to see my bruised face and so I decided to wear a mask for tonight so it covers most of my bruises from my clients and started to service my regular clients like they always like and at the last minute we had a walk in, Mr. Jack Hyde stepped into my playhouse. The playhouse security I put in place of unwanted people from the street, almost threw him out because he doesn't come up to the high standards we have here at Milady's. Christian saw him came into my playhouse and pulled me to my office to warn me that Jack's here not to engage with him.

'Okay, Mr. Grey. I will not engage with him at all but we can both sit in and watch silently as a very kinky anonymous couple while Charley can work the scene. We even have outfits for just such a scenario.'

'You want to watch him get wiped, love?'

'It's only fair don't you think after he knocked me around today. Maybe we can mask him and I can have half a session with him.' I suggest.

'That is out of the question Miss Steele.' Christian's anger flares up.

'Very well Mr. Grey, as you wish we'll only watching then.' We stepped out of my office and slip into our unknown clothes. Charley asked me how I would have run the scene and I gave her my honest opinion. So she got Jack ready and tied up and completely masked with only straws at his nose and she started the play and she turned up some music heavy classical music. He signed his evening session contract earlier and I glanced at it he doesn't mind whips, anal fisting's, and cock and balls torture and he is into blood play. What a sick twisted little dick. Yet is what the client desires and fantasies about. Charley tied up his arms and legs so she have, free access to all his anatomy freely. She flogged him first hard since he likes to be rough and not just all over my face. Christian took me in his arms as we just watch Charley flog him good all over and then took her whip and cracked it all over him and his backside.

'What is the safeword's, Mr. Hyde?'

'Green and Orange.'

'Good remember that Mr. Hyde. Now you will address me only as Milady Charley or Mistress is that understood?'

'Yes, Milady.' He spoke and his voice broke a little at the end.

'Now we shall continue Mr. Hyde. Have you been a good boy today?'

'No Mistress, I've been bad.'

'Oh no, then we shall have to punish you, Mr. Hyde.' She cracked her whip on the raw polished cement floor of our dungeon playroom. He wenches at the sharp crack and now she's doing it on his other side. She has a paddle in her other hand as she cracks her whip on the side of him and then hit his ass with her paddle. Then at the sixth round with her whip cracking, she let him have it with the whip on the back of his thighs and he cries out.

'Is this your first time in a playroom Mr. Hyde.'

'My second time Milady Charley.' He said and she looked over at me. I told her to go on. She shrugged her shoulders then continued with the scene.

'Well then Mr. Hyde then we conduct this play like you wrote down in our consent agreement you signed before this session started and we will play with the toys and methods you wanted in this play. Is that what you want now Mr. Hyde?'

'Yes, Mistress.'

'Very well let's carry on then.' Charley spoke and continued. She tied up his balls and put his cock in a torture harness, he whimper while she's busy and now she place the harsh nipple clamps on him and got all tough on him with a small wand vibrator as she held it to his cock and he cries out as he came so easily all over the floor.

'Now look how you messed my clean floor and I haven't given you permission to come yet Mr. Hyde that is an immediate spanking. She lowers him a nudge and gave him a spanking of his life.

'Will you listen to my instruction now Mr. Hyde?' She asked. Christian wrapped his arms around me and kissed the side of my head. I looked over at him and smiled and gave him a masked kiss. I whisper in his ear; 'I love you Mr. G'.

'I love you more.' He whispers back to me. We turned back to watch as she held the wand to him again while she got a lubricated vibrating butt plug ready for him and as she let the wand hang around him by some rope and got to work on his butt plug. Hyde started to moan.

'Quite or I'll give you another spanking Mr. Hyde and you may not come or I'll give you a whipping. Do you understand Mr. Hyde?'

'Yes, Mistress, I understand.' She rubbed some lubricant over his butt and inserted the butt plug and immediately turned it on. He yelled out. And she gave him a few paddled smack on his butt cheeks.

She squeezed his ball sack while turning up both vibrators a few notches.

'Green.' He spoke in a rush breathe. She kept it all up and at the last minute, she gave him permission to come as she held a plastic beer cup under him and he came about a quarter into the cup. She unties him and Christian and I took our leave of the scene. We both drove straight to Escala and we both couldn't get into the playroom fast enough. I was facing the cross and Christian tie my hands to it and play around a little with my behind and clit as he felt for his target. I heard his play jeans drop and he is sliding into me. I moaned as I clamp my mouth shut. He wrapped my hair around his one arm and slam into me over and over as he holds my hip so gently.

'You. Are. Mine. Miss Steele.'

'I have always been yours, Master Grey, no one else always only you.' I spoke to him as he keeps up his rhythm. I was surprised when he pulled out of me and untie my hands. He stood in front of me and he cupped my face as we just stare at each other. He bends in for a kiss and then picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him as he let me slide over him and he rams into me over and over. I held onto him and finally, he sat on the playroom couch and let me sit astride him.

'Come now pretty girl let me see you at work.' I took his hands and lay them on my breasts as I start to move and he made that deep sexy throat sound and then that one last motion and I came around him and it pushed him over as well as he pours out. He now lay me down on the couch and position himself between my legs as he pushes my legs over his arms as he completely buries himself inside me and I moaned.

'That's it, baby, I want to hear you tonight.' He said and started moving his marvelous hips.

'Oh, Christian it feels so fantastic.'

'Your fantastic baby.' He said then bend down and kissed me. I cupped his face and then racked my fingers through his hair.

'I love you 10 000%, my sexy sex god.'

'I love just as much my goddess.' He smiled at me and we both are at our climax and we both called each other's names. Christian lay on top of me as we both try to catch our breaths. I held him to me as I kissed his hair. We got up wrapped our robes around ourselves then head for Christian's bathroom, here we took a nice aromatherapy scented bubble bath together. After our bath, we went to bed. Christian fell asleep first on my chest. Oh, my sexy man, I thought to myself as I lay staring at the ceiling of his room.

~~~OoO~~~
