Chapter 18

Elena POV

After hanging up the phone, frustrated beyond belief!

I don't know how many times I have rung him. And yet, I cannot reach him….

If he was still my submissive, I'd….

.. well he is not so..

Where the hell Christian is right now??

He began to ignore me after his stupidity of telling l his family about his lifestyle. He came clean to his family, but he never mentioned me. Thank God.

This avoidance of me has been going on for about a year. I am sick of it!

What the fuck he thinks he doing? After everything, I taught him, and all I did to help him! Lending him the money to start his company.

Now, after an epiphany, he decides that I am a monster, pedophile?

Just cause I like younger boys, shouldn't be a crime right??

Then he decides to cuts all ties, and contacts with me. He even changing all the codes for his personal elevator both at Escala and GEH.

Telling security that I am no longer welcome in his building! The building that my money helped start.

I have given him time to come to his senses, but I am done.

He will come to heel. One way or another!!

No… This won't do. This will not do!!

And what surprised me the most was that he really left the BDSM community and choosing to live without using my submissive services.

Gifting me his shares of the salons. All business matters about salons and monthly dinner schedules he cancelled it!!

All of it.

Everytime I call he is unavailable. I cannot even get past the switchboard anymore. He has blocked me on his cell phone.

Even with the salon's financial problems. He has ignored me. Then he has the audacity to have my salon audited, like I am a thief or something! All done by the finance department of his company.

Looking for discrepancies. I never found out what they told him. But the next day, I was gifted his shares. With a message delivered by Taylor, telling me to stop trying to contact his boss.

Like he can tell me what to do… He is another one that needs to learn his place!!

I had to find a way to see him directly and talk to him, and get him to open his eyes!!

That he still needed control in his life.

That he needs me!!!

Turning around, I see that Isaac is still kneeling.

His back and ass nicely red from my aggravation with Christian!!

"Isaac, you can go now. You are not to pleasure yourself in anyway. Do you understand me?? You may speak" I order, in my mistress voice.

"Yes Mistress, I understand" keeping his head bowed, he answered softly.

"I will call you for our next scene." Elena let him know.

He keeps his head bowed as he rises to his feet. His back and bottom are aching from the beating she gave him with her favorite cane.

Thinking to himself, he is not coming back. He will end his contract with her. Even if he has to take the information that he has to Mr. Grey.

Elena decides to go visit Grace at Grey's Manor. Even if is a forbidden Sunday.

She is going to search for any information about Christian.

Grace has been on cloud nine, because the prodigal son has returned…

Gathering as a family on Sundays, "it's family time"!

Grace has told her time and again, when she has all but begged.

"Elena, I can't invite you. "it's a special time for the family." you're welcome any other day.

But just not on Sundays." Grace has said, time and time again.

This has always infuriated her to no end.

She could be family, if Christian would just open his eyes and accept her as his mistress.

Forty five minutes later Elena is already parking her car in the Grey's driveway.

She gets out of her car. Walking to the door and ringing the bell.

Elena didn't see Christian's car as she parked. But still holding on to hope that he was here.

Pressing the bell Elena thought that Grace would open the door for her, but alas, it was not.It was the blonde mousy Gretchen… what a waste of what could be a beautiful girl, she thinks!

"Good evening Mrs. Lincoln." she titters "

"Where is the family at Gretchen??' she says demandingly.

"Mr. and Mrs. Grey are in the family room while Miss Gray is in her room." Gretchen explained to Elena.

"Didn't Christian and Elliot come today?, after all it is a golden Sunday." lowering her voice, Elena was still trying to find information from the maid because she knew Gretchen had a fondness for Christian.

"Umm...I don't know why they didn't come today, Ms. Lincoln. When I asked Mrs Gray, she informed me that it was just to be three for today's meal.. I believe that the Grey men are out of town. But I can not be sure" Elena hands her, her coat, and walks away without another word to Gretchen.

Walking with the grace of a lioness, she stalks through the house, she is on a mission.

"Hello, Grace dear and hello Carrick." Elena start to greet them. She put her fake smile like always.

"Hello, Elena. What are you doing in here?" Grace stands up to greet her, giving her air kisses on her cheek.

Carrick just gives her nod muttering," its Sunday and she needs to leave" not quite under his breath.

Turning back around ignoring her presents, and watching TV.

Elena knows if he never likes her, he just tolerates her because of his wife.

"Oh, I'm just hoping that we could talk about Coping Together Gala." Elena using the charity events as her reason to come. Keeping but the real her reason to herself. That she wants, no needs, to find Christian.

" Don't you remember? This year Mia chose the theme of the gala. I am so proud of her taking charge like she has. But, haven't we already discussed this at last month's meeting??" Grace asks..

"No, dear. I wasn't available to attend last month. I hadn't had the opportunity to catch up with you. I am sorry, for barging in on your Sunday. Where is all your children? Don't you always have dinner together at the weekend?" She tries to pry information.

But before Grace can answer. Mia shouting her parent name.

"Mom, dad… oh my gosh..oh my gosh." She holding her phone, ready to show them something, running quickly, down the stairs… "do you know who your sons are dating??? She squeals.

"Mia, baby girl, why you shouting in the house? You know better, unless there is a emergency? Grace chastises her daughter.

"Oh mom, dad!! You won't believe this!! Guess who Christian and Elliot are dating" She yells, as she comes sliding into the family room…

"Who is it Mia?? Is it a fashion designer or a celebrity? " Carrick says playfully

But Mia just shakes her head "no dad!" She replies mockingly..

" OH… your here." she says with a disparaging curl of her lip. Glaring at Elena. "Why are you here, Sundays are supposed to be Elena free days!"

"Amelia Grey, that is uncalled for." Grace reprimands, even though Carrick is chuckling at her.

"Apologize right now!"

"Sorry," says Mia looking down, then lifts her eyes looking straight into Elena's. " No can do!" she says with a sneer.

Elena is mildly shocked at Mia's behavior. She has never been so outwardly rude.

"Called me when Mrs. Evil has left!" She turns on her heels and heads back upstairs, a quickly as she descended them.

"Elena, I do not know what has gotten into my children when it comes to you. They all have been very rude to you as of late. Please accept my apologies for there less than hospitable behavior." Grace conveys.

"Well, I guess, umm… I'll…. ummm take my leave. Good evening Grace. Carrick." Elena utters. Turning to leave, she hears Carrick saying good riddance.

She stomps off, snatching her coat out of Gretchen's waiting hands.

She just manages to get into her car, before she is cursing up a storm, and slamming the car door, and speeding down the driveway!

Muttering all kinds of ways that she punish that little, foul mouth child.

Beating her ass, would only be the beginning…

She calls Issac on her way home. She needs to take her frustrations out on someone.

But he isn't answering. Which only inflames her ire more!

"Hey, is the troll gone??" Mia calls as she reenters the family room a little later.

Her mom is now seated by her dad on the couch.

"Mia, what was that?? Why were you so rude to my dear friend?" Grace looking at her daughter, wondering what was going on.

"Mom, how can you be such a good person and so blind to how truly evil she is? I don't get it. She is a scary old lady. Why can't you see that? Isn't she dad? Dad knows… Ask him!" She informs her mom.

Carrick looks at Mia, "thanks for throwing me under the bus. Your brothers are right, you are a brat!" giving her an evil eye.

"But yes dear, Mia is correct. None of us like her. Nor trust her for that matter. Mia and Elliot openly detest her. Christian refuses to comment. But I do know that he has cut all contact with her. I think it is best for our family. If you to do the same dear. I am not one to tell you whom you can be friends with. But your children and I would prefer if she wasn't back in our home." he gently advises Grace.

Watching Grace, as she thinks over what Mia and Carrick has told her. Thinking of her son's and their reaction to her.

"Okay, okay, okay… I can't hold it in any longer...: Mia begin's, so excited that she bouncing on her toes again..

"Mom, dad.. Did you know that both of your son's dating girls from society families?"

"Mia, who are they dating that has you in such a tizzy?" Carrick starts to curious want to hear about his sons. He leans forward on the couch as Mia starts playing with her phone again...

"Well" she says with a grin " … Elliott told me when he called me and he said if I wanted to tell you and mom that's fine. But…"

"But, what Mia??." Grace sternly talk to her daughter.

"Elliot said that I can tell you and dad, but not anyone else. Not under any circumstances that troll find out. She'd make Christian life hell. Soooo, Just our family for now." Mia explains.

"Well the troll is gone" say Carrick, giving Grace a small squeeze on her shoulder. "Who are they dating?"

"Wellllll….." she say dragging it out " Elliot's dating Kate Kavanagh.." She turns her phone around and show them a picture of a beautiful blonde girl. She is certainly Elliot's type. They wonder if he has met his match??

Her parents are looking at her confused. " Kavanagh Media??"

"Ooohhhhhh" they say at the same time. "

"Who is Christian dating then?" they ask.

"Anastasia Lambert,??? ….of Lambert Steel..." she tells them. She hits a couple of buttons, and she then thrust the phone back in their hands. A gorgeous brunette , is on the screen. They can see that she as ocean blue eyes that just sparkle.

Mia continues bouncing up and down on the tips of her toes.. Squealing like a little girl!

Now that was a name that they knew, they were friends with Frank and Georgia. Not good friends, but they were friendly.

Okinawa, back to the lovely couples.

Christian POV

Days into their joint vacation, Christian feels so great to have this time with his brother. Bonding with him as never has, even though they grew up in the same home.

And friends! He now has friend's!! People that didn't want anything from him, except himself.

He gained new friends in Candy and Kate and his security Ryan. Before this, for him, a staff member was always staff. Never before to cross the invisible line.

Never befriending any of them. Taylor was the closest he had ever gotten to calling a friend.

But now, all of his former ideas are changing.

Ana, has show him a way, how to make friends and act like his age. Now, he knows what it feels like to hold someone close. Hold a special place in his life. To have friends.

He doesn't want to go back. Back to when is was a miserable bastard.

Ana is his angel…

Candy's POV…

Anastasia sits with Kate and Candy set on individual loungers, watching as their hot as hell. boyfriends play beach volleyball. Although she would never admit it.

Ana and Kate think that Candy and Ryan have hooked up, more than once.

Studying Ana, as she watches Christian, she is so full of love for that man.

From what she understands is a man who came to her life not very long ago.

But talking with Ana, she cannot imagine Ana's life without him. The future holds no joy for her, if he wasn't in it. She is thankful that Ana found her love with Christina.

He may not be perfect and he does has a past.

But with his big heart , that is the motivation that drives him to be a better man make him perfect for Ana. She cares deeply and as long as he is good to Ana, then he is fine in Candy's eyes as well.

Kate and Elliot, now that is match!! Elliot is a great big goof ball. Handsome as hell. He sure gives Kate a run for her money. But she takes no shit from him, giving back as good as she gets. Whatever the future brings for those two, it will not be boring!

Ryan, now there is one fine looking man

Coal black hair, hazel eyes. An ass you can bounce a quarter off of…

Thighs that are so muscular…

Now after last night action, and this morning. In the cold light of day, they can't barely look at each other, without being remember the phenomenal sex.

Watching Ryan playing volleyball with Christian and Elliot.

Memories of last night invade her brain…

Drinking,.. oh..., way to much. Both of them.

Well, they went to far. She decides with a shake of her head. It cannot happen again!!

But it was hot and she was needy and she wanted to do it again.

They watched as Chris and Ana, and Kate and Ell, were all over each other last night.

The lust between the four of them was astronomical.

One thing lead to another.

Candy awoke this morning, to Ryan kissing and suckling on her breasts, in the living room in their suite.

Naked and holding on to each other, as he slowly pumped in and out of her.

She wanted to throw her head back and moan from that memory alone…

Jesus she was getting wet. She felt him in her all day with every move, twitch, and twist..

She wanted him again!! … he was hung like a prize stallion!!

And he knew how to use his package.

It was, well there are no words. It was truly the best she had ever had, and wants to again..

It might have been a mistake.. But she doesn't not regret it.

They are both adults and she is not in any relationship with anyone else. He said he was single also.

Kissing him, was just…. Ugh…

She keeps flip flopping back and forth on whether she should tell Ana or not.

Since she is her CPO and he is Christian's, Is this something that needs to be addressed.

Or should she just play it by ear? A need to know type thing?

Her and Kate keep teasing her about Ryan being hot.

Boy, does she agree.

Cause, that is three of the hottest men on the planet, playing volleyball… with sweat running down the tight abs. Trickling down their happy trails…. To the promised land…

She watches, thinking what hiding under Ryan's swim trunks..

She knows how it feels, velvet cover steel, and tastes all tangy and salty , and the pleasure it can bring. Twisting on her chair, getting lost in a lust induced haze…

She doesn't hear Ana and Kate trying to get her attention… she is so focused on Ryan…

She jumps' up announcing " I am going for a swim!" as she runs and jumps in the ocean!

Kate and Ana's howls of laughter following her across the beach!

APOV

Relaxing with a view of the ocean before us. Christian and I are just being…

Nothing pressing. Nowhere to be. Just enjoying each other company.

We can hear Kate and Ell, talking, a few feet away.

On the other side, we can see Ryan and Candy, they are setting under an umbrella.

Those two have it bad for each other. Just wishing they'd admit it.

"Baby,do you want to drink anything?" Christian asking me, rising from his lounger. Bending to give me a kiss on the side of my head. I push my sunglasses to top of my head.

"Can you bring me a bottle of cold water babe? I feel a little bit thirsty. Thank you."

He nods. I hate for him to leave, but I do love watching him walk away…

He turns with a smirk, winking at me. He loves catching me ogling his ass..

I love the view of the front too, as he brings us both back a cold drink. He leans down, giving me a smoldering kiss.

"Later baby, and you can even touch!!!" he whispers with a chuckle..

I grin back, knowing that I will be touching him later. More than touching, licking and sucking…

Looking back down at my book, but honestly not reading a word, I am thinking about Elliot was telling me.In few day's time is my loves birthday.

But due to his early memories and his bad childhood. He never like to celebrate his birthday. But I am hoping to change that.

I don't want he feel like that ever again, so I am planning to celebrate this year's birthday!!

Wanting this to be the beginning of a very happy time in his life. Something to take over all the bad memories. Replacing them with happiness..

Ahaaa… I know what we need to do for his birthday. This would be perfect for him, to have memories of his birthday in fun ways. Not only just Christian will love it, but I think Elliot who still kid in heart would be love it too.

I just need to discuss this with my best friends. Kate and Candy are going to help me, I am sure of it…

. Mission for make Christian birthday extra special will start in a minute.

"What are you thinking about Anastasia?" Christian asks getting my attention.

"I have been thinking about what all we have done so far on our vacation.

I never dreamed that we would have as much fun as we have had. Or the all laughter and silly moments. All the time we have made love. This has been a dream come true for me. I keep thinking about all the crazy, and wonderful pictures we have taken. The memories of this trip will always be with me". I turn in my lounger and hug him tightly, "I love you Christian,thank you for coming with me."

"Oh, Ana!! You never have to thank me. I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't invited me, I'd be stuck in my ivory tower in the sky. Trying to control every aspect of it. This has been the most relaxed I have ever been in my life. I never thought that I'd be vacationing with Elliot, or out making new friends. What a pleasant surprise, Kate, Candy and Ryan have been. I never put much faith into having friends, that I needed that sort of outlet. You have shown me a way of life, that I never knew existed. I can never thank you enough for loving me. For showing me, a whole new world. A new way to look at, well… everything. Anastasia Lambert, you are truly an angel sent from heaven above." his eyes red and welling up with unshed tears. " I will love you forever and ever Ana!!" He leans into me kissing me, pulling me into his lap. Holding me tightly as he dares. Finally lifting me up, we head back to our suite, with laughter and catcalls following us…but we ignored them, continuing to kiss until we made it back to our room. Losing ourselves into each other. Only resurfacing to order dinner in.

Getting up from a lounger, "Hey, Kate and Candy. Let's take a walk." Ana requests.

Christian stands, "I'll take a walk with you Ana"

"Oh sweetie," leaning in to give him a peck on the lips," I know you would. I just wanted to talk to them a moment or two. " She answers him.

The three of us turn and sashay our way down the beach. We might have put a little extra swing in their hip's knowing that the men were watching… Hearing them wolf whistle after us...

"Okay ladies, I wanted to talk to you about Christian birthday the day after tomorrow." I say beginning. Today will be our last day on the resort. If you'd rather say here. That is fine. Christian has never been able to be much of a kid, so I want to take him to Disney in Tokyo. But, this is where you guys come in. I mentioned it to him, but never gave him a day that we would be going. So…

I need your help guys for planning time for Christian! I'd like to keep the details between the three of us, for now."... I explain.

"Well, explain what you have in mind, and Kate and I will help you. Won't we Kate? I won't say anything. I promise." Candy says.

"Anything you need Ana, you know that right? I will do everything I can to help you." Kate agrees.

"I am not sure if you know, but Christian didn't have a great childhood. He has issues, but that his story to tell, not mine." I let them know.

"So, girly what you have in mind about this birthday party??" Kate asked me.

"I have planned to celebrate his birthday by flying all of to Disneyland in Tokyo. He has never been to Disney, and I think this is something we'd all enjoy. I have arranged for a helicopter to pick all of us up here, at 8am in the morning at the landing pad. It is a two hour flight. We will land at Disney, at 10 am. We just need to pack for three days. The rest of our luggage will be loaded and sent to Christian jet. Waiting for us, to board in three days time. I was looking, I think that three days, is a good amount of time. It gives us a chance to see everything it offers without being rushed. You don't think this would be to childish, do you?? I just want something special. I want this to be a memorable time for us. With this being the first time we get to celebrate his birthday together." I explain my plans.

"What about hotels?" Kate asks.

"Wwwweeeellllllll…" Ana stammers..

Kate and Candy look at each other and then at Ana "What did you do??" they say at the same time..

"IbookedthreeroominCinderellasCastle" she said incredibly fast!!

"Say that again Ana, but slowly this time.."

Clearing her throat, and looking a tad bit sheepish " I booked three rooms in Cinderella's Castle. "But that is all I've done for me. I swear. I knew Christian wouldn't care. And I have always wanted to sleep in the Castle. And yes it was expensive, but this is a once in a lifetime thing….and…" I know I am babbling...

Kate and Candy start laughing. " Ana! Your too much…!" Kate lays her hand on her arm. "I excited, and I think Candy is too!! I have always wanted to sleep in the Castle, but I never knew that you could!! !! You did good Sis!!" she says chuckling...

We finally make it back down the beach.

The boys have found a Frisbee somewhere and are tossing in back and forth while waiting on us.

When I looked at him, I remembered the question Candy had asked earlier. While we were walking on the beach…

"Ana, if Christina was to propose in the near future. Will you accept?? Even though you and he just found each other and started dating not long ago?"

And without hesitation, I answered "Yes, if he did propose I would say yes. He is my future. I know that we have only known each other a short time. But, yes, I would accept his proposal. I know that I will love him forever, and I know deep in my heart that he feels the same."

Linking arms with my best friends, we turn back around heading towards our men.

"So Candy," Kate questions, "when are you going to dish on Ryan?"

Candy just laughs...

Walking back up to Christian , "Hey handsome!"

"Hello, baby. How did your talk with the girls go? Is everything going smoothly? "Christian asked me. I could see from his eyes if he was curious.

"Yes, babe everything is great. We need to head back to our room, and start packing out stuff. Because tomorrow morning we will fly back to Tokyo. For the next part of our vacation plans."

Looking at me intently, he lightly grasp my hand. We set forth, walking together back to our room.

"Lead the way beautiful." he responds.

I am excited to see how he reacts to flying to Tokyo in a helicopter, then landing at Disneyland private helio pad..

So many exhilarating plans for the next couple of days. I have never been one to be extravagant with my wealth. . But doing these things for Christian, has given me such a thrill, knowing that I can afford it!!

Please leave reviews guys..

I hope you all have a great weekends lovely readers. xoxoxo
