A/N: We are at the coping together ball. You'll notice I use a lot of details and lines from Fifty Shades Freed by E.L James. I just put my own twist into it.. I think I changed enough to make it my own. (I hope. It's one of my favorite scene in the book.) Next chapter hint: "the bitch is back" I hope you have stuck with me through this, I know they haven't been to exciting, but I hope the next one is for you. And it's a lot longer.

Oct 16th- Coping Together Ball

Christian

I still can't believe one of my employees would be so desperate and think I would cheat on my wife. After some digging, we found out Ms. Davis was working in PR handling the phones. Claire, our regular receptionist, went on maternity leave, and Ms. Davis was recommended to take over for the three months she was out. What nobody knew that she was working on a plan to get to me. When I jogged my memory, I remembered that she used to always flirt with me when I was on the PR floor. I would just ignore her like I do with most of the woman that bat their eyes at me.

I guess she overheard my phone conversation with Ros on Wednesday. I stood at the front desk to take the phone call. I was telling her how I was stressed out, and only been getting a little of sleep the last couple of nights, since Teddy was sick and up all night. It kind of hurt that he only wanted Ana, but I understood.

Ms. Davis had arranged for new guards to come in, telling the company that we needed a change of routine. It's not unheard of so when the substitute guards came in on Thursday Ms. Davis told them of a woman that was coming in every day causing problems in the lobby. That she was pretending to be Mrs. Grey, and that she was to be detained in the back till proper "arrangements" could be made. She was able to steal Ana's ID badge last Friday. With Ana being so exhausted; she just thought Teddy had taken it. It helped with Ms. Davis' plan when Ana came in that day, and she would appear to be the crazy lady.

She also convinced the guards that her ID was fake, and Ana was totally unstable. When she saw Andrea leave to grab me some breakfast like she does most mornings, she took her opportunity and tried to seduce me. The woman undid almost all of the buttons on her shirt to expose her bra and hiked up her skirt way too high. I can't believe she would think that would be sexy. She walked into my office as soon as my meeting was over, put on her show, and ended up fired. Disgusting!

The two guards felt bad after they found out the truth. While Ana was on the phone, they had googled Ana's name. They found our papped honeymoon pictures and our photos we did for Forbes and People shortly after we were married. They'll no longer be allowed to work at Grey House, in fact, we have now hired our own private security team, but they got to keep their jobs at their firm.

Tonight is the Coping Together ball at my parents' house. Ana and I have been going since we were sixteen. The only one we missed was after Teddy was born. Gail is watching Teddy at my parents' house, and we will be spending the night there.

The girls have spent all day getting ready. I brought the spa to them today, while the guys, drank beer and watched football. Danny is taking Maddie this year, and of course, Elliot is with Kate. At four-thirty the girls descend the stairs ready to go. I think I stopped breathing when I see Ana.

"Damn!" Elliot says from behind me.

"My thoughts exactly," Mutters Danny.

Ana looks beautiful in her strapless, floor-length, silver satin gown. Her hair is in waves around her face and spilling over her shoulders and breasts. She stands in front of me, and I'm at a loss for words. "Hi," I barely get that out.

"Hi." She reached up and fixes my bow tie. "Anastasia, you look breathtaking." I bend down and kiss her.

"You're pretty hot yourself Mr. Grey."

"Come with me Mrs. Grey. I want to try something tonight." I tell everyone else we'll be right back, but there to lost in their own worlds. I lead Ana to our bedroom. "I want you to wear the Ben-Wa Balls tonight; I thought we could have a little fun between dinner and dancing." I wiggle my eyebrows at her. "You game?"

"Bring it on." I bought these to try on our honeymoon. Ana got so horny while wearing them she was begging me to spank and fuck her. That was a good night.

"Bend over." I make her lubricate the balls with her mouth. I stick a finger in her and find she's already soaking for me. I play with her for a minute to loosen her up, then slowly insert the balls into her. I pull her dress back down and spank her once. I notice her whole body shake with excitement. "How do they feel?"

She turns to look at me, and her face is flushed. "Wonderful."

Oh, I can't wait for later. I plan to take her to my old bedroom and have my dirty way with her. It's like our tradition to run away during the event and have each other. My parents were always so pre-occupied they didn't ever notice us missing.

We all arrive at my parent's house in the limo I rented. As we get out, there's a red carpet that leads around the house to the large tent set up. Our pictures are taken, and no doubt will be in the Seattle Times tomorrow morning.

There will be over 300 people at tonight's event; I plan to make some more business connections. Mia comes running over to us and throws her arms around Ana and me.

"I'm so glad you guys are here. I want you to meet my date, Shawn." Elliot and I exchange looks. We'll be giving this guy a hard time when Mia is not around, but for now, we will play nice.

It feels good as Ana, and I walk around talking to everyone that I can call her my wife. I strike up a conversation with Mr. Wallace about how he's using new energy sources to run cellphones and computers. Ana leaves me to it, while she mingles with the girls.

Finally, we hear the call to take our seats for dinner. I sit down next to Ana and wrap my arm around her and lean into her ear. "How are you holding up?"

She turns her head, looking around to see if anyone is paying attention to us. She sees its safe and whispers in my ear while moving her hand up and down my leg.

"All I can think about is you bending me over this table, and ramming your hard, throbbing cock into me." She gently moves her hand over my now hardened bulge. I'm about to slam my lips to hers when my dad comes to the microphone. Ana moves her hand away, giving me a smirk, before turning her attention to my dad. She's such a tease. You think anybody would notice if I just take her right now? 'Don't worry folks it's all part of the show.'

"Welcome ladies and gentleman to our annual charity ball. I hope that you enjoy what we have planned for you tonight and that you'll dig deep into your pockets to support the fantastic work that our team does with Coping Together. As you know, it's a cause that is very close to my wife's heart and mine." Ana leans over and kisses my cheek. She knows my parents started this because of me. "I hope you all enjoy your night."

We elect Mia to be the head of the table. We all sign our names to our highest denomination bill and put it in an envelope. At the end of the night, someone will win a prize.

We eat our three-course meal and go through the auctions. I can't help but run my hand up and down her leg and I see the goosebumps on her arms. I'm affecting her. She will occasionally play with the hair on the back of my head, her nails scratching my scalp every once in a while.

Elliot leans over to me. "Will you two stop canoodling? The sexual energy coming from you two is starting to heat up the whole room."

"Fuck off Elliot," I whisper as the auction begins. He leans back over laughing and whispers something into Kate's ear causing her to giggle.

Ana bids $5,000 for gliding lessons for me; I couldn't help but kiss her, deep and hard in front of everyone. You could hear the hoots from Danny and Elliot until my mother told them to stop. I'm excited about it; I always wanted to try gliding. Only two weeks ago I got my helicopter pilot license. This is just icing on the cake.

It's now time for the dance auction. So I decide this will be the time to make our great escape. I know Ana is suffering next to me as she keeps wiggling in her seat.

"We're going to check on Teddy. We'll be back shortly. We promised to put him to bed." I grab Ana's hand. I hear Elliot cough 'bull shit very softly' and I give him the evil eye.

"Oh, I'll come with you!" Mia pipes up, and I stare her down.

"He doesn't need all the excitement before bed Mia." Elliot winks at me and Danny whispers something in Mia's ear, which causes her face to scrunch up.

We make our way back to the house and to where Teddy is sleeping. We see Gail reading a story to him. He hears the door close and looks at us. "Mommy, Daddy shhh. GG read." He puts his fingers to his lips.

"Would you like us to finish reading to you, while we tuck you into bed?" He nods eagerly at me. Gail has already bathed him, and he's in his pj's already. It's after nine now, so he has to be sleepy. "Say goodnight to Gail."

He sits up and throws his arms around her. "Nigh GG. Luv yous." He kisses her cheek.

"Goodnight little one, I'll see you in the morning."

"Thanks, Gail. The fireworks should be starting soon. I'm sure Taylor would love your company," Ana says.

"Your welcome. Goodnight." She smiles and leaves the room.

We get Teddy tucked into bed only having to read half of "Hop on Pop" before he passed out. Ryan is staying in the house with the monitor for the rest of the party. More than likely Teddy will stay asleep; the child can sleep through anything. So Ryan shouldn't need us.

I pull Ana into my old bedroom where we will be sleeping tonight. Nothing has changed in here since I left for college.

"Sneaking away during a party hoping not to get caught. Makes me feel 16 all over again." Her voice is sultry. I'm sure she's thinking about our first ball together. I come behind her and rub my hands up and down her arms.

"Those are some great memories," I whisper in her ear. "But let's make some new ones. Turn around and let me get you out of that dress." She turns around and lifts her hair off her back as I unzip her dress, and it piles at her feet. The only thing she has on underneath is a tiny silver thong. Lord have mercy. I slip off my coat jacket and sit on the bed. "Come here. Lay over my knee" I see her eyes light up. She slowly walks over to me and lays her stomach across my lap. My girl has always liked a little light spanking. While we were on our honeymoon, we discovered how well the balls worked when I spanked her.

I pull down that barely-there thong, so they are around her ankles. Her silver Louboutin pumps still on her feet. I spank her once, and she moans.

"I think I'm going to spank you five times for teasing me at the table and for having to do everything in my control not to take you right there." She giggles at me. Giggles. I spank her again on the other cheek, and she groans in pleasure. That's better. "Do you like this baby?" I trace my fingers against her folds. She's already so hot and wet for me.

"Yes, Christian!" She pants out. I spank her three more times, in between each time playing with her and teasing her. After the last one I pull the balls out quickly, she convulses and screams out in ecstasy. I pick her up by her hips to move her off of me. She stands up and looks at me almost with a pout. My baby wants more.

"Get on the bed, and put your ass in the air. I'm going to have you now!" I growl at her. Her underwear is still tangled at her ankles as she crawls onto the bed. I slide two of fingers in her and move them around slowly torturing her more.

"I want you!" She begs.

"What do you want baby?"

"I want you to fuck me." She grits out. I undo my zipper and take out my rock hard cock that's throbbing in anticipation.

"Hold on baby; this is going to be fast and hard."

I line myself up before slamming into her causing her to scream out. "You need to be quiet baby you wouldn't want my parents to hear you all the way outside would you?"

I love the feeling of slamming into her, in and out, in and out. She starts backing into me and trying to match my pace. "No, baby. I want to last a little bit longer." I try to stop her.

"Harder!" She demands. Harder? Is she trying to kill me? I grab onto her hips and pound into her even harder. Using all the energy, I can muster up.

"Oh, Christian! Yes!' She hisses it. I feel her muscles start to contract, and I can't hold off any longer as I spill into her, which causes her to let go.

"Ana!" I grunt before we both topple to the bed. I pull her into my arms and hold her against me chest. I don't know how long were lying there before I decided to get up and get a towel from my bathroom to clean us up. I clean her up and pull her thong back up around her hips.

"Shall we get going back out there? I would like to dance with my wife." She doesn't move. "You ok there baby?"

"Mmmm. More than ok." She slyly smiles at me. After a beat, she finally gets off the bed. She reaches up and kisses my cheek.

"Just what the doctor ordered." She slips back into the dress, and I help zip her back up. I slide on my jacket as she walks over to the bulletin board and pulls off a picture and smiles.

"I remember this. The camping trip we went on the summer before senior year with Danny, Kate, John, and Jenny. I ended up twisting my ankle after we had our tryst in the lake."

It's a picture of the group, I'm holding in my arms, bridal style, her ankle wrapped up. We're all laughing at God knows what, and standing behind a camp fire.

"That was a good time." I kiss behind her ear. "We should try to do something like that again. Teddy would love it, and I'm sure we can talk everyone into it."

"You mean, le gasp, take time off." She mocks me and puts her hand on her chest.

"I'm sure we could work something out. Let's get back before they send a search party."

I slap her ass before we head back to the party. Most everyone is out on the dance floor, so I pull Ana to me, and we start swaying to the music. Ana is resting her head against my chest when Elliot and Kate come next us.

"Soo…you guys were gone for a while." Elliot wiggles his eyes at me.

"Teddy wouldn't go down."

"Sure he didn't. Don't worry Kate and I disappeared to the boat house." Kate smacks Elliot on the chest, but she's smiling.

"What?" Elliot says shamelessly.

"Have you seen Maddie and Danny? Danny hasn't stopped drooling over Maddie all night?" Kate interjects.

Ana and I both look over in their direction, and they're sitting at the table together, making goo-goo eyes at each other. They get along great as friends, like to 'hang out', and neither is looking for a commitment. There's an 11 year age difference, not that it matters. I can only wonder if they would start dating each other.

Maddie and Danny notice us and head our way to the dance floor.

"This has been wonderful you guys. Thank you for inviting me," Maddie says as Danny takes her in his arms.

"I'm glad you can be here," Ana says as she reaches to hug her. Who would have thought we would bring two good friends with us from Boston to Seattle?

"You guys sure took your time up there and don't blame my boy Ted," Danny chimes in.

I just shrug and smirk, while Ana's face heats up. They know us.

"You missed Elliot and me having a betting war on Mia. I ended up winning when that Shawn dude gave up. Mia was so pissed; I could see the steam coming out of her ears." Elliot and Danny are both laughing at their antics.

"That wasn't cool you guys." Kate tries to be serious but is failing miserably.

"Shawn is a giant tool anyways. When he lost Mia, he bet on Lilly for a whopping $1,000. Too much if you ask me. We did Mia a favor."

"I hear you guys—and thank you." Mia toddles over and joins Maddie and Danny in their dance, now becoming this little dance circle.

"When we were upstairs Ana, and I had an idea…"

"Nobody wants to hear about that Christian," Elliot remarks.

"Fuck off Elliot." I laugh. "Seriously, we should all go camping this summer like we did before senior year."

"You mean when Miss Clumsy USA twisted her ankle after your little pow-wow." Danny laughs. "I'm in!"

"Shut up Danny!" Ana blushes and smacks his shoulder.

"It was worth it, though." She smiles at me and kisses my nose.

"Sure was," I agree and nuzzle her neck.

"Really you guys? Don't make me get the hose out," Maddie says playfully. "I'm in I haven't been camping since I was a kid." She adds.

"If you guys take the time off work, I'll be there." Elliot quips. "Kate?"

"As much as I hate the outdoors, I wouldn't miss it. Mia?"

"Yeah, I could bring Lilly."

"NO!" We all shout at her, causing almost everyone around us and look at us. My mother is giving us a look to behave.

"I was just kidding." Mia puts her hands up defensively.

"Good! I'll get something planned ahead of time for this summer. That way is booked in advance and on my calendar."

"Meaning you're making Andrea do it," Elliot says. I just ignore him. But yes, Andrea will probably do most of the work.

After dancing, everyone makes their way outside to watch the fireworks. This year Coping Together was able to raise 2.5 million dollars. GEH's million dollar donation was a big part of those earnings. My mother couldn't stop crying when Ana and I gave her the check. It's going to help a lot of people.

I have my arms curled around Ana's body as we watch the fireworks over the sound. It has been a marvelous night.
