Chapter 9

After finding a replacement for me and dealing with Elena shit about leaving Kate for school, I wanted to burn off energy in Kate and Jack's high tech gym they had beside my room. Normally I would go for a hike, with Teddy I just wanted to stay close in case Hannah had a question. I went down to the basement and found it cooler than normal, the cold air rushed onto my top as I started on the elliptical treadmill, I felt it burn around me as I push muscles that normally haven't been pushed in forever, I knew when I touched down in Vancouver I would have to eat better and get in better shape if I wanted to become a free-lance photographer. My iPhone buzzed, it was Christian.

*Whatca doing? I hate Toronto, wishing your hands and mouth were here to help me through this boring meeting with my bro.* I smiled I liked how he thought about sex as much as I did.

*I'm on elliptical right now, wearing a low cut top, and my tight Lululemon pants thinking you should be my trainer because I know you'd work me out better than a machine!* send I pushed harder for thirty seconds when another buzzing came in, Christian was calling me.

"I am in my office bathroom right now alone, get off what you're doing and let's talk!" He mumbled as I heard him rubbing his cock.

"What? Why?" I thought about it. "Oh, well then let's talk about this, I don't do phone sex, no point for me because I can't use one hand to get off, you can." He groaned,

"Ana, talk to me tell me something dirty, I have five minutes before they notice I'm gone, you fucking gave me a boner in there."

I laughed.

"It's not funny when your potential client Skyping you from China! Now I order you to talk dirty to me and I shall reward you." I thought about it as I pushed on the machine.

"Ok, I want you to tell me I'm pretty while I suck your fat cock, while I'm sucking I'm playing with your massive balls and licking and sucking them too. Nobody is getting left out." He groaned.

"God baby your good," I felt my sweats getting wetter,

"Yeah tell me you want my pussy, and where do you want it? Your face? Your cock? I am naked in front of you, you can have me walk into your broad room naked and serve you coffee, while you talk business with your people." He gasped and groaned again.

"Nothing? Not even my silver tie? Or grey shirt?" I smiled.

"Not a stitch, coming close?" He was breathing became more laboured, as I was almost at a full stop I still kept walking, "yes I'm so close."

"Fuck me now Christian! Fuck me like your whore on the bathroom sink! Harder! Harder! I want you harder in my body when you're done with my pussy, fuck me!" I didn't get the last word out as he groaned so loud I'm sure his whole office heard,

"I'm cumming Ana!" He groaned again. Once he regained breathing, I stopped walking.

"You ok?" I ask as his breathing came back to normal.

"Yes, fuck that was hot, listen, I will call you later, and we can set up something."

"It's ok that's the point of fuck buddies, you don't have to feel guilty about shit like this." I smiled,

"Ok well what you training for?" He asked.

"Tough Mudder, in Whistler, you coming?"

"Yeah, thinking if the business looks up and good I will be up there for sure. My friends and I run it every year. We should hook up soon." I started walking again as he said it. "Yeah, we should." He noticed.

"What's wrong?" He asked me.

"Nothing my mood is a bit off, last little bit. Don't know what's up. You got to go, have fun, and I will talk later." He sighed not pushing for more questions.

"Ok sounds good. Bye" I heard him click off before I said,

"Bye." Wishing I said I love you but I didn't want to seem needy or clingy to him. As I hung up and noticed Jack beside me. I screamed as he laughed at me,

"Please tell me you didn't hear," he looked up at my mouth, then again he did a once up and down looking at me like I was his piece of meat. The look not only rubbed me the wrong way but also made me want to throw up.

"All I heard was I want you harder in my body! Harder! Harder! I think even Teddy heard you, he woke up not long ago." I grabbed my hair.

"Oh no!" I signed as he laughed,

"Hot guy?" He asked I glared at him.

"Like it's none of your business but yes it is a guy, and we fucked on the flight back from Vegas, and I really like him." He mirrors me screaming

"Harder! Harder!" Jack rolled his eyes into the back of his head and laughed as I jumped off and chased him down and hit him with my towel, popping him on his ass. "Oh, baby harder!" He joked.

"I know you like it, deny this happened to Kate and I won't tell her about what I had to do when your Subs got sick in the bathroom that one day." He looked at me, his one sub was ecstasy and puking up blood in her White bathroom, I was telling him I didn't do blood, ever! Because of well its blood, she does it, with her animals, not me. He cleaned it up and I got her to the hospital in Squamish, which was a nightmare, even more so when she puked on an area of rug we now cover with the couch.

"You're forgetting I tell Kate everything, you my dear have no playing cards." I thought about it.

"What about the time you guys got a goat, and three girls in there with a jar of peanut butter," he turned, Bingo.

"With the paddle? I saw that video and hid it very well." His eyes got as big as saucers he knew he would never tell Kate how he got peanut butter on the sheets and why Teddy had an allergic break down that nearly killed him. He threw me in the corner, I lied to save his and my ass's and said a mom at daycare brought a PB&J sandwich and must have rubbed off on me to him. However saying how it got onto her bed sheets was even scarier, since I said I had been wearing those jeans while making their bed. It was believable, he owed me so big.

"Ok, who is he? And what do I say to throw Kate off?" I nodded,

"Deal, you know Christian Grey of Grey Enterprises?" He nodded,

"You're fucking her ex?" I shook my head,

"Yes." Now he knew if he found that tape he would sell me out no problem. Mind you, I knew because I found it while looking for Teddy's first birthday party. Jack won't sell me out unless he had a card he needs to win. He knew I could kill him and he could kill me too. When Kate found out about things that hurt her or her family she went for the throat and won't stop until she drew blood. He nodded,

"Deal. I won't tell if asks?" I shrugged,

"Mount her and make her scream like a little girl." I walked away and mumbled, "God knows somebody other you or me in this house needs it."

I kept on with my training as Hannah kept coming in every day for the last part of July until August came and she learned how to cook breakfast lunch and dinners while I ducked out and checked my iPhone for texts or calls from Christian, he called or texted every few hours. He would call me in the morning, and at night to say goodnight. I missed how we made love and I wanted to jump into Kate's Lexus and take a drive to Vancouver to see him. It hit me like a ton bricks, I knew I had to get an apartment for school since I was studying at UBC it made sense to be close to that area of town. I just had to convince Kate to loan me the car.

"Kate, Jack" I looked at them one night over dinner, Teddy was upstairs having his bath time. I continued "I hate to be that girl but I need your help if I am moving to Vancouver I need to borrow your car to go check out a few rentals around the city so I can move in with the best of ease." Kate looked at me. "I have talked to Mia and her finance and they are going have me stay with them for a few days, but I just need a ride down to the city. So please?"

"Hannah now uses Jack's Jeep for play dates, and she has one coming up on Wednesday, and I am using mine to get to and from work, I know you need to do this, but is there anyways you can use the bus?" I scowled at her, she knew I need the car for a few hours she was still mad I was leaving her and that her car somehow became off limits.

"You know what Ana, you have been so good to this family, how about tomorrow I lead you my Jeep, and Hannah can have a day here play dates and all," Jack spoke up, at the dinner table, tomorrow was Wednesday, and he was up to something. Kate shot him a look, "But honey," she started rubbing his arm.

"Tomorrow you have that big meeting, and don't you like the house to yourself for the conference call?" She squeezed his arm, it was code for what is going on? He looked into her mouth and whispered,

"Even big meetings like this get cancelled, Ana should have the car for a day, and she is responsible." He looked into my eyes, "I trust you to do the right thing. Plus I know you don't have any buddies in Vancouver." My eyebrows shot up, now I know he wants me out because my time in this house was getting close to the end and he needs time to dig through my room for the tape! Only I was smart enough not to hide it in my room, I left it in a bank security deposit box in Squamish.

"Ok, thanks guys," I removed myself from the table and put my dishes away, and I went to Kate's office, she had her own office in Whistler and here she could get away from Jack and I if he needed too. I sat in her chair and I thought I heard her shortly. The door shut, he marched over to me and put his hand over my mouth. Which is a no-no in this house, nobody touches me unless I want to be touched. I thought don't freak out don't freak out.

"Don't scream she is still awake, and you know I want that tape! Second I don't want you to go, Hannah is so pretty and every time I look at her I get a boner, I know I am married but if it was you or her, I'd fuck her before she left, in fact, I would leave Kate for Hannah." He still had his hand on my mouth and got me to stand up and walked me over to the couch, my eyes looking into his blue eyes like mine. He placed me on the couch, his body came on top of my body and had his hand still on my mouth. I closed my eyes and tried not to think about the rapes but his voice came creeping in as Jack spoke.

"You fucking dare leave me, I will tell her and I don't care about that stupid tape." He took his hand off of my mouth. I was breathing hard trying to think of happy things as he was talking to me, thinking of getting out of the office was one of them. He continued,

"Anastasia, I don't want you to leave neither does Kate, I will say and do anything to keep you, even go as far as paying you as much as you like even your own car." I shook my head.

"It's not about money, or cars it's about moving on." He sighed, I watched his black hair shake on his head, his blue eyes and face soften.

"You wanna have sex?" I shoved my knee into his crouch, and push him off of me for even asking.

"No Ewww! Why?" I asked. He advanced towards me as if to keep me pinned.

"Because I can blackmail you." He was not as smart as he thought he was. "And because I wanted to fuck another Steele sister, I fucked Mia before I got married, one more to the list would be hot." I pushed him off of me.

"How about no, because I have the tape, I have the balls, and I also have your testimony saying you fucked Mia before you got married, and how you wanted to fuck me. I say if you don't give me the car for tomorrow, I will bring the tape in to show Kate and tell her all." His face went white, he scrambled to the computer and pulled up a screen for a car. I made my way to the door.

"I will buy you a car right now, to keep you here right now, please!" He begged. I turned the knob not even waiting and opened it,

"No," I got out as he launched for the door.

"WAIT!" He yelped. I ran up the stairs running straight into Kate's arms, who was in Teddy's room. "Ana, what's wrong?" I pointed down the stairs and started shaking all over again, "He touched me when I didn't want to be too-touched!" I stammered out. "Your husband tried to seduce me on the way to my room in hopes I would stay in fact he wanted to use it as a blackmail tool to keep me and he was even going to buy me a car. He pinned me to your work couch and held me down for several minutes." You could hear the seconds tick down from the clock and Kate thought of a plan and placed it into action.

"One more thing," she turned silently to me as I spoke to her, "anything he says about me dating somebody you know, just ignore it, he'll try to say it and he would it against me." She nodded,

"Ana, you are safe, you told me what I need to know and that I thank you, you can use my car anytime tomorrow. It's him I am going to cut his balls off and feed it to him." She said as I backed up into the corner she knew I was in the process of blacking out and frightened.

"Don't worry Ana, you're safe now." She placed a hair behind my ear and kissed my cheek, she knew the rape fucked me over, and that anybody who would treat me that way she would personally see to it that they had no voice left. She verbally attacked her friends for bullying me about it. I went into the bathroom to the side of Teddy's room and watched. All I saw her do is walked silently down the stairs, place her hand on the doorknob and open. I sat by the door and listened, I didn't hear a word only that Jack was being shoved out of her office, and he was racing upstairs, Kate came back upstairs all so quietly and watched her husband take his overnight bag from the closet, she called to him

"You'll need the bigger one, and the cab is on its way." Oh, fuck he royally fucked over if she says the cab is waiting outside or on its way it means 'your fucking dead to me.' They were married and they had Teddy and I had seen it happen once before, he talked his way back into her heart and from what I have heard they don't have to many late nights or late morning sleep ins. She saw I was watching her from the bathroom. I was feeling scared knowing that if she found out that she would do the same to me, only I won't be going to Vancouver I would be going to the morgue. Jack left in a hurry and Kate came to the bathroom as I walked back to the wall, shaking violently, I wasn't cold she knew what was going through my mind, well almost, she came to my side. Rested her forehead on mine and put her hands around my neck as I rested my hands on the back of her shoulders. She repeated over and over again, until I stopped shaking.

"Ana your safe now, don't be scared, he can't hurt you anymore now, your family we will protect you." She rubbed my back as I breathed deeply her smell of roses. Once the shaking had stopped she took me to her kitchen and got out Teddy's Ice cream only meant for when he was a good boy and ate everything off his plate. I had a few spoonfuls because my period came early, it was to light and only lasted a day. I thought because of my training it was making it come early and light. Kate checked for Hannah who was putting Teddy to bed.

"I'll buy a car and give you cash if you stay?" She said as she put a spoon of ice cream into her mouth, I shook my head. I dug my spoon in.

"No, I want to finish my degree." She put her hands up, and stuck her spoon in the ice cream it was chocolate ice cream which I love the taste, again from Cows ice cream.

"That's fair, just putting it out there." I looked up at her.

"Just put it back in there, I thank you for the nice offer but you guys are not really paying me, and it's not fair to Hannah, to just fire her, plus your mom, just it's my time to go." She nodded,

"Ok fair enough, I'll miss you. Also, he said you were banging a guy named Christian Grey, that's bad Ana if you are." I looked into her eyes, and back into the ice cream.

"Ana tell me the truth," I looked up at her.

"Are you fucking Christian Grey?" I put down my spoon and looked her dead in her eyes and lied.

"No, I am not." with the straightest face I could give.
