Ana

I pant and moan as I ride my husband while he is blindfolded. We both recently started spicing up our sex life, and so far, we tried furry handcuffs, vibrators, role play, flavored lubricant and now today is the blindfold.

I lean back, put my hands on his thighs as I bounce up and down. He throws his head back and squeezes my hips harder.

"Oh, my, God, babe. Harder," he moans, and I oblige.

He tries to sit up, but I don't let him. He groans in protest when I pin his arms down on the bed.

"Babe, what are you doing? Don't stop," he pants when I stop bouncing down on him.

I lean down but stop to savor the feeling of him buried inside of me. He tries to sit up again, but I hurriedly pin his arms over his head and snap the cuffs onto his wrists.

He freezes for a few seconds before moaning loudly as I slowly move up and down once more.

"Babe, this is so goddamn hot. You drive me crazy," he bites his lip when I grind harder.

Christian talks dirty to me for a few minutes causing me almost to reach my climax. Just when were both about to shout out our release, we both freeze when we hear a loud engine roar near our bedroom. My eyes widen when we hear a horn blaring outside causing me to startle and turn my head around when I spot headlights peeking through our curtains.

"Babe, what the hell is that?" Christian pants.

"I don't know," I frown and gently ease myself off Christian.

"What are you doing? Babe, I was so close," Christian whines as I put on my robe.

I'm about to speak, but a loud banging on the front door startles me. "What the hell?" Christian tries to sit up again but groans in frustration when he remembers he is handcuffed to the bed.

"Undo the cuffs, Anastasia," he snaps as the banging gets louder.

With trembling hands, I take the key from his nightstand and undo the cuffs. He rips the blindfold off his eyes and stomps butt naked towards the door.

"Christian!" my eyes widen as he breezes past me. "What are you doing?"

"I'm about to beat someone's ass for disturbing us! Can't a guy get fucked by his wife around here?" he all but shouts on his way to the door, still butt naked.

He unlocks the door, and angrily throws it open and groans in irritation when he sees who is standing on the front porch. "What the fuck, Elliot!"

My eyes widen again in concern when a distraught Elliot strides through the door. "Nice, birthday suit, big brother," he scoffs.

"What are you doing here?" Christian rolls his eyes, and he hurriedly shuts the door.

I grab the throw off the couch and hand it to Christian. He sighs and wraps the blanket around his waist as Elliot throws himself at me. He wraps me into his arms and puts his face against my neck.

"What happened?" I rub his back as he groans into my neck.

Christian frowns as he runs a hand through his hair. "Why the hell did I ask you for her number?" Elliot leans back and lets me go and flops down on the couch.

My eyes soften when Elliot puts his head in his hands. Kate and Elliot have been going out for a few weeks now. Their first date was a success, and she called me that night and gushed how wonderful Elliot was on their date. They had another date tonight, so I'm confused as to what happened.

"Elliot," I say softly as I sit down next to him on the couch.

"She did what every other woman has done in the past. Shoot me down when I show my true self," he hisses.

"What did she do?" Christian narrows his eyes at Elliot and sits down in his recliner.

"The first date was good, so we got together the next weekend, and this weekend at dinner, she seemed distant. I asked her what was wrong, and she said that she already felt smothered. That I called her too damn much, and she needed space," Elliot says sarcastically.

Christian scoffs and sits back in his chair. I shake my head, disappointed at the situation.

"What the hell is wrong with me?" Elliot groans and lays his head back on the couch.

"There is nothing wrong with you, Elliot," I murmur as I run my hand soothingly through his hair.

"Oh, yes there is," he murmurs while staring up at the ceiling.

"Well," Christian teases as he rubs his chin in thought.

I glare at him before Elliot kicks his shin with his boot.

"Fuck! You dick," Christian hisses in pain.

Christian stands up and smirks when he puts Elliot into a headlock. "Let go of me, fucker," Elliot tries to push him off but doesn't succeed since Christian is stronger than him.

I shake my head in amusement as Christian lets him go and puts his hands up in surrender when Elliot takes a fighting stance.

"Listen to me, little brother," Christian puts his hand on Elliot's arm, so that he can get his attention. "There is nothing wrong with you. You're a great guy and an amazing brother. If she can't see that, then fuck her," he hisses the last part.

I smile when Elliot looks away for a second and then nods his head before slapping Christian's shoulder.

I get up from the couch and touch his hand. "I'm sorry for trying to set you up with her, Elliot. I shouldn't have."

"It's not your fault. I asked you for her number. Don't worry about it. You had good intentions," Elliot wraps me into his arms and hugs me.

"Ah, Ana?" Elliot all the sudden freezes after a few moments.

"Yeah?" I answer with my eyes closed.

"Are you naked?" he says curiously.

My eyes spring open when I realize I'm naked underneath my thin robe. I lean back, and his eyes are wide with a big grin on his face.

I groan in embarrassment and hurry to our bedroom to get dressed.

I hear Christian say, "Yes, you interrupted our fun time you dick."

Elliot laughs, "Oops, sorry."


The next day I get a surprising phone call from Kate in the early afternoon. Christian is next door looking at Carrick's car since something seems to be wrong with it. I'm sitting on our bed reading a book when my phone lights up with her call.

"Hey."

"Hi. Do you have time to talk?" she sounds embarrassed.

"Yeah, sure," I sigh. I really don't to talk with her now. I fight the urge to tell her that I don't have time to talk but decide to listen to her anyway.

"Look, Ana, I'm sure you have heard from Elliot already, and I just want to say that I didn't mean to hurt his feelings. I tried to call him to apologize, but he won't take my calls," she sighs through the phone.

"Yes, he came over that night. He was really hurt, Kate. Look, I don't want to know the details. Just know that if he wants to talk, he will call you," I put my book down on the bed and rub one of my temples.

"Okay. He just was too affectionate, you know? He was smothering me. I'm mean I'm all about a guy being affectionate occasionally, but he went a little overboard," she sighs once more.

I roll my eyes and try not to snap at her. I know Elliot can come on a little strong, but he's a good guy and something in her tone, the way she says it, pisses me off.

"I have to go," I take a deep breath.

"Oh, okay. Call me later?" she sounds disappointed, but right now I don't care how she feels.

"Sure," I murmur and hang up the phone.

I think Kate is a good friend and I don't want this to impact our friendship, so I decided just to let this situation go and move on.


I park Christian's truck into a parking spot and turn off the engine. After Kate called me earlier, I immediately went next door and told Christian that I was going over to Elliot's house to see how he was doing.

It's been a few days since his disastrous date with Kate, so I just want to make sure everything is alright. I walk up the steps to the second floor where Elliot's apartment is. I knock on his door and frown when I faintly hear a woman's voice. Is Kate here?

Elliot opens the door after a few moments. He looks uncomfortable and is slightly flustered.

"Buttercup, I didn't know you were coming over."

He kisses my forehead before ushering me into his apartment. My eyes widen when I see a girl I've never seen before sitting on his sofa. She waves at me awkwardly while Elliot stares at me nervously.

"I'm sorry was I interrupting something?" I shift awkwardly on my feet.

"Oh, no. We were just talking. Ana, this is my new neighbor, Aleida," he points to her, and she smiles and waves at me again.

"Aleida, this is my sister-in-law, Ana," he places his arm around my shoulder.

She gets up off the sofa, and we shake hands. She's beautiful, with long black hair, and deep brown eyes. She's wearing cut-off jean shorts, adidas sneakers, a white t-shirt, and her dark hair is in a high messy ponytail.

"It's nice to meet you, Ana," she smiles politely. She has a slight accent that I can't quite place.

"You as well. I was just coming over to see how you were doing?" I smile back and turn towards Elliot.

"I'm fine. Great, actually," Elliot smirks over at Aleida causing her to smile and then look away in slight embarrassment.

"Well, I'll leave you two. I have a lot of unpacking to do. Nice to meet you, Ana," she nods at me before smiling at Elliot and heading towards the door.

"Come over anytime if you need any more help," he offers as she opens the door.

"I will," she nods and then she's gone.

"She seems nice," I smirk.

"Yeah. She was having trouble getting her boxes up the stairs. I saw her struggling with holding them up, so I helped her carry the boxes into her apartment," he nods and scratches the back of his neck.

"That was very nice of you," I cross my arms and smile.

"No big deal," he shakes his head in amusement.

"Kate called me earlier," I say hesitantly.

He sighs before flopping down on the couch. He pats the cushion beside him, and I sit down.

"I figured. She keeps calling me," he puts his feet up on the coffee table.

"Are you going to call her back?" I lean back and bump his shoulder with mine.

He thinks about it for a few minutes before shaking his head. "No. I liked her and all, but not enough to go any further. I should have never asked for her number. I mean, she wasn't really my type anyway," he sighs.

"I'm sorry it didn't work out," I shrug a shoulder and look up at him after a few minutes of silence.

He turns and stares at me for a few seconds before popping my nose with his finger causing me to crack a smile. "Me too, but it's for the best," he leans back against the cushions.

I pat him on the shoulder before getting up and walking into his kitchen for something to drink. He sees me grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge and jumps up from the couch.

"Sorry, apparently I'm not a good host," he grumbles.

I open the water cap and take a drink. "You're fine," I murmur.

"What's Christian doing?" he asks while opening the fridge and grabbing his own water bottle.

"He's with Carrick fixing his car. Actually, he should be done by now," I frown as I look at my watch.

He leans his hip against the kitchen island and chugs his bottle of water before nodding. "I'm starving. Want to get dinner?"

"Let's go back to my house. I'll cook dinner for you guys," I smile and finish my water before throwing it into his trash.

"Will you make your famous cake afterward?" his face lights up causing me to laugh.

"Yes, I can."

Elliot smiles before throwing his own water bottle away and grabbing his keys, wallet, and phone from the table.

"Let's go, buttercup," he throws an arm around my shoulder as we walk out of his apartment.


AN: First, I wanted to take a minute to let you all know that I really appreciate all the support that I have received throughout all my stories. It means a lot that many of you have enjoyed them so far. Also, thank you all for following and reviewing each chapter since I first started posting on this site.

Second, I want to let you all know that this story will probably be the last one I write. I have been slowly drifting away from FF for several personal reasons. I won't bore you with why, but just know that it has nothing to do with Trolls or that they ran me off from writing.

I have loved writing AU/OOC stories that we haven't seen too much of and many of you have stuck by me since the beginning. Thank you for that. :D

Lastly, I will try my best to keep giving you updates and I will finish this story so don't worry about me abandoning it. It might take me some time, but I will write it until it's finished.

Anyway, next chapter will be a very emotional chapter, so get ready for some tissues. It sure brought back some sad memories for me while writing it.

Thank you all for reading and reviewing. Let me know what you all think of the chapter. See you all next week.
