Sound Relations


Christian's POV:

"Mr. Grey, We will be landing in thirty minutes at Sea-Tac" Stephen tells me over the in-flight phone.

"Thank you" I reply and then put the phone down. Ana is sleeping soundly next to me. She still needs to work on her stamina. I am afraid I tired her out and deservedly so. I felt that some retribution was unequivocally in order, after the whole Grey Publishing, and requesting a divorce fiasco, from a few weeks ago. I can't get over how perfect Ana is in. True to my vows, I will worship and cherish her.

"Hey, sleepy head it's time to wake up. We are going to be landing soon" I whisper into her ear. Ana stretches and then puts her arms around my neck.

"Hhhhmmm. How long have I been asleep for?" Ana slowly opens her eyes. Her crystal clear, blue eyes gaze upon me and again, I am transfixed on her. The last few weeks have been some of the happiest in my life. Ana sharing my bed, or actually our bed now, and Ted with us. If only I could turn back the hands of time. We could have been this happy for the past 18 years.

"A couple of hours." I say shrugging.

"I may need to start seeing a personal trainer again if you intend on working me that hard" Ana giggles and then blushes a little. I kiss her forehead, delighted at where we are.

"I love that we are going to the sound for five days." I inform her. "Though wouldn't you rather go somewhere more exotic or more adventurous?"

"No. Life with you Christian is exotic and adventurous enough. I never know what to expect"

"Am I still that much of an enigma?" I say raising my eyebrows.

"At times. Even now you don't tell me everything and keep some emotions hidden." Ana says sadly. I purse my lips together because it is true. Ana runs hers knuckles along my jaw. "Don't panic Christian, I know you do it to protect me, but I am a big girl. I don't need to be wrapped in wool"

"Wool?" I ask perplexed. "I much prefer to wrap you up in my arms." We begin to feel the plane descend, and both reluctantly get up to get dressed.

Taylor drives us straight to the sound. I am informed that Gail is already there, and she has set the house up with food and everything we need for our stay. The house is pretty well furnished, but I am going to go through the house with Ana and discuss changes we want to make. I want her to remember that this is her home. We head off I-5 on exit 172, and Ana looks up at me, her eyes give away just how excited she is.

Taylor stops outside the front door of our home. It is a beautiful spring day, and there is a light breeze in the air that catches Ana's hair. I guide Ana to the door, and as it opens, I bend down and pick her up.

"Christian" She squeals.

"Relax I am just carrying you over the threshold." Ana responds by wrapping her arms around my neck, and rests her head on my shoulder. I put her down and raise her face by softly by putting my hand below her chin. Gently I kiss her soft lips.

"I love you Anastasia" I tell her.

"I love you too, Christian." Ana replies.

"Stay here. Do not move" I quickly move off. It takes me several minutes, but I return to Ana. Finally, maybe she has learnt to do what she has been told.

"You were gone a long time" Ana points out, pouting sweetly.

"Yes. I had to tell Taylor and Gail to take the next five days off. They have had to spend a lot of time apart lately due to us, and I think I owe it to them." Ana steps forward and runs her hands through my hair.

"That is one of the things I love about you. You genuinely do care, and so much" Ana tells me. I look at her unsure.

"So Mrs. Grey, now that you have me here, what were you hoping to do?" I enquire. This was all Ana's idea after all. I cock my head to the side as she shrugs her shoulders.

"I thought you would help me find activities to pass the time" Ana looks at me from below her eyelashes. I hold her hand and energy fills us. Oh how I wish I had a playroom in this house right now. A million scenes go through my mind, but I only want to be intimate and gentle with Ana. I don't want to diminish our time alone.

"Come and have a bath with me" I tell her, and before she can respond, I pick her up and carry her upstairs, through our bedroom and into our bathroom. When we re-modeled the house, we had a large and deep bath tub put in for a very specific purpose. I am glad that we finally get to use it for its precise purpose. Yes, this would do nicely. I turn on the taps full blast so the bath will fill quickly. I don't want to wait.

I quickly remove my clothes and then move on to Ana. I grab the hem of Ana's blouse and pull it off quickly, then remove her bra. I start to kiss Ana who responds with equal velocity. I possess her mouth as I make short work of the zip of her skirt. I pull it down with her panties, leaving her gloriously naked in front of me.

I help her into the bath and ask her to move forward as I slip in behind her. I entwine my legs around her and grab some of the body wash. I rub it between my hands and then start on Ana's shoulders. Slowly but firmly I massage her shoulders and then down her back. I can feel Ana relax. I move my hands to her breasts and continue massaging. Ana is leaning on me. I can feel her hands grip my legs

I tug on her nipples. Hard. Ana moans appreciate. I continue to tease her with my right hand as my left hand moved down her stomach to the apex of her thighs. I run my fingers, vigorously over her and Ana shuffles. The intensity making her move.

"Stay still, absorb the pleasure" I tell her. I kiss her neck and continue my teasing. Ana is close, really close, and I stop.

"Christian!" Ana turns her head to face me. Confusing and tension are written all over her face. "Why did you stop?"

I take a deep breath. "Ana, get out of the bath" I order much to her annoyance. I get out of the bath and wrap a towel around my waist and hold my hand out for Ana. She doesn't take it, rather sits in the bath, looking up at me.

"Why? I don't understand" She shakes her head, finally taking my hand. I wrap a large thick towel around her, so she doesn't get cold. I do not want her to get sick.

"Ana, I want our first time in our home to be in our bed. I want to see you" I tell her. She gives me a warm smile.

Ana's POV

Christian takes my hand and leads me into the bedroom. I am drenched in passion and electricity from his touch. Christian turns to face me, and again commences to kiss me. Whilst he is still passionate, he is tender.

"Sit on the bed. I will be back in one minute" He tells me and practically runs off. I am a little bewildered. Christian, true to his word returns swiftly, with two glasses and a bottle of pink Bollinger. Our favorite drink. Christian competently opens the bottle and pours two generous amounts into the glasses.

"Mrs. Grey" Christian states as he passes me my glass and sits next to me.

"To forever and ever" Christian toasts and taps my glass.

"And ever" I add. Christian takes my hand with my wedding ring and kisses it. In unison, we both drink our champagne. As usual it tastes delicious. Our eyes never leaving each other.

"Would you like some more champagne?" Christian offers.

"No, thank you" Christian grins and walks to the music player that is located to the side of the room. I hadn't noticed it before. Christian moves his hand over it, and it springs to life. It reminds me of the one that was in the playroom at Escala. I wonder if it is even there now. Music starts to play. A smooth male voice comes over the speakers, I don't recognize the voice; though know it is the song 'Here and Now'. It used to be a favorite of Rays favorites. I remember him once telling me that it is about pledging to spend the rest of your life with someone.

I stand up and remove my towel, leaving me entirely naked. Christian's eyes go dark, and he runs his fingers along his lips. As he closes the space between us, he discards his towel and reveals his growing erection. Christian places his hand in the back of my head and commences to kiss me. I feel a strong urgent need for him. A desperate need for me. He buries his nose into my hair and breathes in.

"I want to make love to you" Christian whispers. He leads me backwards and guides me on the bed. Christian separates my legs and slides himself up me body.

"YOU. ARE. SO. BEAUTIFUL" Christian tells as kisses me. I can't help but blush. He smiles and softly touches my cheek with the back of his hand. Christian leans in and kisses me again on my lips. My heart jumps. His lips are so soft and warm.

As Christian rests his body on mine, I can feel his excitement poking into my hip. Our kisses get deeper and more urgent. I felt a glorious quiver between my legs. Oh gosh, I want him.

Christians hand cupped my breast and gently he squeezed them. My hands roam his chest, the once forbidden area, now my playground. I wanted to kiss his chest all the way down to his growing area between my legs. Christian places his hot mouth over my nipple and sucked hard. His other hand sliding between my legs. He looks at me and smirks.

"You are always so ready," He says. I can't help but blush again. Oh how I want him and need him. NOW! I arch my back wanting more. My eyes closed, and I moaned softly. Christian trails kiss down to the apex of my legs, which is now throbbing for him.

My eyes spring open, when I feel his tongue circling my most tender spot. Once more he is driving me insane. I entwine my hands in his hair. I moan and arch my back further only to have Christian hold me still with his strong hand.

"Feel it Ana. Enjoy it" He tells me, and then resumes his delicious motion over me. I remain still allowing the motion to overtake me, and I come gloriously. Christian shuffles over me, hovering. He looks troubled, and all I want is for him to go inside me.

"What's wrong?" I struggle to ask. I am still panting after my euphoric release.

"I don't have a condom with me," He tells me. Of course, he wouldn't, he didn't even know that he would end up here tonight, this morning. I giggle at my poor fifty. He pursues his lips and narrows his eyes.

"Do not worry, I went back on the pill" I tell him. Christian smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes, though I am too eager to have him inside of me to worry about that right now. Christian fills me and starts to move. I can feel his desperate need to be inside of me.

"You're so tight" He tells me and continues to thrust inside me. "Oh Ana" He moans. He increases his pace, and my body reacts.

"Open your eyes, Ana. I want to see you" He tells me. "Come for me" His words are my undoing and we both find our release together.


"Wake up Anastasia" I hear. I open my eyes and see Christian standing above me with a breakfast tray. "It is breakfast time, and I want you to eat everything. You barely ate anything yesterday" Christian softly scolds me.

"Well that is because my time was rather occupied doing other things" I blink my eyes at him and blush.

"I wouldn't mind doing repeating yesterday's activities again right now, but you need to eat and so do I." Christian lies next to me and together we start to eat. Breakfast is delicious, though the smell of Christian's coffee is awful.

"How strong is your coffee? I can smell it a mile away" I tell him. Christian purses his lips and I catch him looking at me with concern in his eyes.

"Christian, what is bothering you?" I ask rather bluntly.

"Nothing." He tells me. Again he lies.

"It is something. Tell me." I demand. Christian puts his cup of coffee down and slumps his shoulders.

"Ana, when did you start the pill?" He asks. I am taken back by his questions and even hurt a little, for some reason.

"A couple of weeks ago" I tell him. I look at Christian, and he can tell he is mentally trying to calculate something. He looks up and gives me a mixed smile.

"Finish your breakfast, and then you can have your surprise." He tells me completely changing the topic.

"Surprise?" I ask excited.

"Yes. I figured since you surprised me with this trip, I would surprise you also." Christian says. There is a real sense of excitement in his eyes. I can't help but be excited. Christian's surprises have always been an adventure.

Christian's POV:

I park my R8 and quickly exit to help Ana out of the car. She smiles when she sees the yacht 'Steele Rose'.

"Sailing." She states simply.

"Yes, amongst other things. Come" I tell her, holding on to her hand. I never want to let it go. When we have, boarded the yacht it only takes a minute for Ana to spot Kate and Elliot.

"Kate," she calls out excited. They both make a bee line for each other and hug. Elliot comes over and kisses Ana on the cheek. Hell, he may be my brother and Ana's brother in law, but I still don't like any other man touching her.

"I am so glad you are both here," Ana tells them.

"Well I figured you deserved some fun times and my brother doesn't have half of my wit and charms" Elliot mocks.

"And you are just so humble, aren't you Lelliot!" I jeer back to my brother. He gives me his familiar grin. "Come and make yourself useful. I need help getting the boat out. Ana and Kate, that there is wine, champagne, fruit and other food in the cabin below. Please help yourselves."

Elliot proves himself to be useful, getting the yacht ready so I steer it into the open water. It is a beautiful sunny day, made more perfect by the image of Ana below. She is smiling and laughing as she relaxes with Kate. This is what I want to do always. Make her happy, though I fear I may have ruined my chances. I look up and frown. I start to run my hands through my hair, worried that I again have fucked things up.

"What's eating you? You should be on cloud nine" Elliot says, having approached me. He passes me a cold glass of water and starts to drink a beer. I shake my head, trying to get the thoughts out of my mind.

"Nothing. I am happy" I tell him. Elliot groans at me.

"Hell Christian, sometimes I want to punch you out. Look I am your best friend and your brother. Tell me what is wrong?" I have never heard him so agitated. I am somewhat taken back by his behavior. He is acting like me.

"Christian if you tell me then maybe I can help" Elliot offers. I shake my head, horrified at this predicament.

"Elliot I think, I may have fucked up my relationship with Ana. All over again." I confess, expressing my biggest fear.
