Ana

I can faintly see the light shining into the room from the windows. I open my eyes to see Christian fully dressed sitting on his side of the bed scanning stuff on his laptop.

"What time is it?" I question moving to sit up feeling a slight pain in my lower regions.

"It's half past nine," he says laying his now closed laptop on the night stand beside the bed.

"Why aren't you at work?" I ask.

"I wanted to make sure you felt alright. You seemed out of sorts after the photo issue," he stated leaning closer to me.

"Right," I say looking down at me hands. The photo where someone inclined that I was a gold-digger. Shit!

"Then last night after with made love you passed out on me, and I just want to be sure that you're okay with all this extra garage going on," he replies softly taking a loose strand of my hair and pushing it back behind my ear.

"As long as I have you I will always be alright," I whisper into his ear as I move to get out of bed, but he reaches around me and grabs my waist pulling me back down into his lap. Good lord, I can feel his already erect erection pushing through his suit pants.

"God, I love you Ana," he whispers back into my ear.

"I can tell how much you love me," I smirk back at him as I softly grind up against him getting several low moans until he pushes me harder into his lap to stop me.

"Do you know what you do to me?" he questions as he trails kisses down my neck to my shoulder. I was getting wet just from them. Of course I knew what I did to him; he has told me thousands of time that I am the only one for him. I knew that the moment he asked me to marry him.

"Yes, I do especially when I can feel it through the many layers of clothing you have on Mr. Grey," I say taking the opportunity to jump out of his arms as he relaxes to turn me around.

"You do not play fair Mrs. Grey," he says as he catches me and pushes me against the shower door in the bathroom.

"Do you intend to take a shower with me, because if not don't start something you aren't going to finish," I say reaching around to turn on the shower head.

"Fair enough," he says releasing me and walking back into the bedroom. I take my time in the shower relishing in the hot sprays as I wash myself thoroughly thinking whole heartedly about the person who is out to get me. I just hope that Christian isn't keeping anything from me because if he was it might be too late for us.

I try to push that thought out of my head I don't want to end things with him, but don't want to be kept in the dark either. He has to see at some point that our lives have to be ours together and not him and me. I keep thinking these thoughts as I dry off and quickly change into a spring wrap dress and some plain flats.

Making my way out into the great room I hear Mrs. Jones and Christian talking about dinner. Only my fifty would be thinking about his dinner at a time like this. I love the thought that Christian is starting to treat Taylor, Sawyer and Gail more like family than the help. I know he has issues about control and all, but they have been with us for so long they are family.

"So what's for dinner," I say casually as I walk into the room and sit down at the island beside Christian.

"Gail has to go to the store, but she plans on cooking Chicken Parmesan with a crisp salad and a homemade Strawberry Cheesecake," Christian smirks knowing that anything with Strawberries is good with me.

"That sounds good with me," I reply smirking tight back at Christian as I move my right hand to lie directly on his thigh. I rub it softly inching my way toward his family jewels when I hear him gasp audibly and then clear his throat as he reaches for my hand.

"Mrs. Grey I think you were the one to tell me not to start something that can't be finished," he smirked at me as he stood up.

"You are such a kill joy, it's alright for you to play but I can't," I snap a little flustered. Damn the pregnant hormones are finally kicking in. I feel the blush creeping into my checks and start to look down.

"Ana, don't I know this is all knew, but baby I have a meeting in an hour and need to get into the office to go over some things or I would stay here and give you just what you want. Baby you are my everything, never forget that I am a hollow shell without you. I love you!" he says as he kisses me passionately on the lips brining a smile to my lips.

"I love you too," I say as I tangle my hands into his hair.

"Okay, gotta go see you later tonight. I will show you just how much I love you," he says as he walks toward Taylor and out of the great room.

Gail had left to me to fend for myself while she went with Preston to the grocery store to pick up the things we needed. I was glad to have the free space to allow my mind to wander as I went into my office which was at one time the great library. Christian had all of the books removed and sent over to our new home. I was glad that they would be in my office at the new house. I miss the smell of the old books, but also knew that as soon as Elliot was finished with the house we would be moving in.

I moved out of the library door to the great room to see if Gail had returned yet to make some lunch, when smoke filled the air. Then a loud explosion ricocheted throughout the apartment as glass and debris filled the great room in which I was standing. I was thrown back into one of the walls as darkness took hold of me.
