A/N: Last chapter Ian and Tiara met up again at a party that Kate threw. They ditched the party and stayed at a hotel room of course beginning to me up for those long five years they were apart. Read away!

Chapter 14: Can I…?

Point of View: Tiara Grey

I snuggle deeper into Ian's chest not wanting any space between us. Right when I'm about to drift off again my phone goes off.

"Don't answer," Ian murmurs in that rough sleepy voice that hits me in all the right places.

"Okay."

He pulls me in tighter and instead of a text tone it's my ringtone. With a sigh I straddle Ian to reach my phone, "Hello?"

"Tiara where are you?"

"Crashed at Caitlyn's why?"

"You've been off the grid for twelve hours."

"Look," Ian leans up and starts kissing up my body, "I- uh-" I squirm but Ian doesn't stop, "Was there something I had to do today?"

"No but Joseph is asking about you."

I bite down on my lip as Ian licks up to my breasts. "Mhm um tell him that I'll pick him up at four."

"Why so late?"

"How about we have dinner?"

"Alright? Tiara are you okay?"

Ian finally stops sucking and looks up at me with a smirk, "I'm better than ever. I have to go see you in a few hours." I hang up and throw my phone to the side.

"Oh sorry was I distracting you from old man Grey?"

I grind against his manhood then push him down and start kissing him. Before he can get me in his favorite position, I slide on his length and moan into his mouth. I pull away and start moving my hips, "I'll show you just how distracting you can be."

"We've been in bed all day."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Well the sex is… wonderful but we do have to talk about what happened." I get up and start putting back on my clothes.

"Wait you're leaving now?" Ian gets up and pulls on his briefs.

"Yeah I have a little-" I stop myself, "A little fixing up to do before I meet up with Ana and Christian."

"Oh."

I look up when I hear the pain in his voice, "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to lose you again. It's my fault that I can't come with you."

"I want to bring you with me it's just that we have a lot to sort through before I can bring you back around."

"I understand. Do you want to meet up some time this week then?"

"Wow you're really serious about keeping me around."

"Dead serious. I know we can't be seen in public so you can come to my place or I'll come to yours doesn't matter to me as long as I see you."

"Alright I'll get back to you."

"Still have my number?"

"I know it by heart. I spent days staring at it."

Sunday

"Ana you have to promise not to tell anyone."

"After all these years should know that you can trust me with anything," She gives me a gentle smile before taking my hand in hers to give it a reassuring squeeze.

I look down the hall to make sure Joseph is truly asleep before I start talking. "I'll make it short and sweet, Ian and I ran into each other at Kate's party. We left the party and got a hotel room that's why I had been ignoring the world yesterday. I know Christian is going to freak out, but I want Ian back in my life."

Ana takes a deep breath as if she is searching for the right words, "So many people told me to be skeptical and not be with Christian, including Christian, but I knew that he was all I wanted and needed. It's like a burning in the deepest part of your soul when you think about being with that one someone and it's an even more intense burn when you think about not having them. If you want Ian and truly believe that he is the one for you then be with him. No one can keep you two apart if it's meant to happen."

"Joseph lately has been asking me why all the other kids have their dads picking them up but he doesn't. One day I had to leave work to console him because he was sure that his dad wasn't around because he didn't want him. I never want Joseph to feel that way especially if his father is literally in the same city as him. Ian always expressed interest in having kids and whole family dream. I feel bad that I'm keeping away from his child."

"I think you should introduce them first before you bring Ian around. Christian is wrapped around Joseph's finger so if Joseph wants his father around then Christian will be forced to accept him."

"I'm thinking the sooner the better since Ian is determined to have a relationship with me. I know this is probably too much information but the sex even feels different. It's more intense and more passionate."

"That's probably because you two don't have to hide anymore. You're both adults so explaining the past of him being your teacher will be much easier now."

"Yeah you're right. I'll do it at the end of this week I don't want to keep hiding Ian we shouldn't have to sneak around anymore."

Ana smiles before pulling me into a hug, "I'm happy for you."

Monday

"Good job again in there," Christian says as we walk back into my office.

"Thanks dad you'll eventually have to retire so I have to be ready to take over."

He gives out a throaty laugh, "I'm not that old."

"Uh huh yeah sure."

Ana walks in behind Joseph who comes blazing in towards me, "Momma!"

I pick him up, "Hey there handsome." I look at the clock and realize we are behind schedule, "Um Ana don't you have a reservation for lunch with Christian?"

"Oh yeah I thought I would do something special today with our grandson."

I kiss Joseph's head then pass him to Ana, "See you guys later!"

I plop down on the couch then hop right back up when the door opens, "Hey beautiful." Ian walks in with flowers.

"You're so sweet you didn't have to do this."

He puts the vase on the corner of my desk, "Yes I did because I have a lot of time to make up for." He pulls me into his arms and starts to kiss me. Ian pulls away briefly, "I saw them leave. I didn't know that Ana and Christian had a son. I'm kind of surprised that she agreed to help us out so I could sneak in for your lunch breaks."

I completely skip over the son comment, "Yeah you know Ana was always a nice person."

I hear the door open again and expect it to be Sawyer giving me an update but I'm sadly mistaken. In walks Joseph with a big smile that only widens when he looks at Ian. "Hi there! I'm Joseph what's your name?"

I swallow hard as I watch Ian's jaw slowly drop. He squats down, "It's nice to meet you Joseph I'm Ian. Where's your mommy?"

Joseph points at me, "Right there silly!" He diverts his attention to me, "Sorry mommy I came back to give you a kiss." He summons me down with his little hand and I obey. He kisses me and hugs me tight.

"Joseph how old are you?"

He turns back to Ian, "I just turned five in February." Ian looks up at me with tears in his eyes then back at his carbon copy. "Why are you sad?" Joseph hugs Ian and pats his back, "Hugs always make me feel better."

"C'mon Joseph we have to g-" Ana gasps when she walks in to see Joseph and Ian together. "Uh come on Joe let your mommy talk to her friend."

Joseph pulls away from Ian who finally stands up, "But I was talking to Mr. Ian he is sad."

Ana takes him by the hand, "Mommy will cheer him up I promise."

She nearly runs out of the room making Joseph throw a wave and an, "It was nice to meet you Mr. Ian!" Over his shoulder.

Review and all that good stuff please and thank you!
