Taylor POV
Luke and I are following the boss and Ana to the ranch. I don't think Ana is aware we can hear their conversation. Ana seriously did not know who he was. That was hilarious. They know so little about each other. This getting to know each other is sure going to make my life more interesting. We are going to stop at the Inn ahead and rest up.
"Taylor did these two really only meet 3 days ago."
"Yes Luke its true. As you heard she does not even know who he is professionally. You came from a farm and you even knew who he was. She fell in love with just old plain Christian Grey not Christian Grey CEO."
"Ok and how come Elliot is so close to her?"
"Ana met Elliot through Jose and they just became friends. He is very protective of her. They all spent quiet a bit of time with Ray on the ranch over the years."
We pull over at the Inn and I can see Christian is used to luxury. We book the rooms under false names and I do a security sweep. When the boss comes to the door his face says it all.
Christian POV
"Taylor I rather carry on riding than sleep in here."
"Christian please." Ana begs. AAghhh I can't say no to her. But this place is so dirty and dodgy. My phone rings and I pick up.
"Elliot what do you want?"
"Hello to you to Christian."
"Sorry it's been a long day."
"I need a favor from Taylor. When we were at the hospital and I saw this fucking sexy as hell blond chick in leathers. I have been trying to get her number. Can you or Taylor help me out bro?" My brother always knows how to lighten things up. We have a good laugh together.
"Fuck off Elliot."
"See you later. Oh and Christian you made the front page again."
Typical Elliot. They figured it out. I wonder who was the smart one? Could of only been Danny or Sam. I sent the men to collect me the paper. I go to Ana and she is passed out on the bed. I guess this place can't be to bad if I am with Ana. I am willing to sleep anywhere if it means having her in my arms. There is a rap at the door and it is Luke with the paper and a huge brown bag filled with clean clothes and toiletries. I sit on the end of the bed and glance at the paper. "Fuck" I didn't realize I said that loud till I felt a warm body leans over me from behind.
"Hey baby are you ok?" She glances over at the paper and starts to fucking giggle.
"What's so funny Mrs. Grey?"
"Oh Mr. Grey you really are that famous. We made the front page. It's funny because I had no fucking clue. The fact that plain old me snatched the most eligible bachelor in Settle and didn't have a clue is very funny."
"Come here Mrs. Grey. I do not find you plain or old in any way. I find you sexy, exciting, intelligent, witty, and most importantly totally in love with me."
I undress her slowly running my hands were her cloths used to be. She is so sexy. We consummated our marriage in a dingy motel room then in the small cubicle they call a shower. Later that evening we christen the back of the door and the shower once more. I could not have asked for a better day.
"Baby thank you for everything."
"Christian what are you thanking me for? I didn't do anything."
"You saved me Ana. You chose to love me when nobody else would. You healed my fear of touch. You showed me I am a better person. And you have become my wife which means we are going to be together forever."
"Oh Christian you are so romantic. I am the luckiest woman on this earth to have such a sexy looking husband. I see how all the woman look at you it makes me so possessive of you."
"Baby I never took you for the jealous type but I love feeling wanted by only you."
That evening we are all sitting in our room. Myself, Ana, Luke and Taylor chatting about the day.
"Boss I think it was Matt who sabotaged the wedding. We also found 2 bombs in the chapel and at the reception but there was a problem with them and they blew a fuse before it detonated. We dogged two very close bullets sir." fuck I see my Ana pale when she hears all this.
"Guys this is all because of me. I ignored his threat and now he is coming after the people I love. I want 24/7 securities on everyone that attended the wedding. They know those were the closest people to me and that is who they will target if they can't get to me."
"You right Ana we did not think of that."
"One more thing Stanford. Matt Stanford is his name."
Taylor and I both look at each other and at the same time say "FUCK"
"Ana are you 100% sure that is his last name." She nods at me. "I will never forget it why?"
"That is Elena's maiden name. That's the resemblance of the man in the lift. He is Elena's brother. Fuck they are working together. It all makes sense now. We meet Ana at the club and Elena recognizes her and tells Matt. I leave Elena to spend time with Ana and the letter comes that morning with a surprise Guest. Then the next morning Matt is dropping off a parcel at Ana's door and Elena shows up at my house and finds Ana in my bed. Mom makes a flop by telling Elena we are getting married in Vegas and Matt shows up there to sabotage the day. But part of his plan fails and then nearly kills Ana and I. They are a team, which means she has hidden him for 12 years. That's what the letter meant by stay away from Christian and Elliot that was a treat directly from Elena."
"Christian call your mother and tell her we are safe and we will be arriving at Escala in the afternoon. That way when she tells Elena we can set up a trap for them. Maybe get someone to follow her to see where Matt is."
"Ana that is brilliant. Taylor you sort it out. Get Elliot and Jose onto the ranch without been seen. "
"Done already boss. They are coming on the bikes that were at home. It's a 9 hour drive from the city so they actually should be at the ranch already."
"Good work Taylor. Lets get some rest then head there first thing in the morning. We are about 4 hours drive from the ranch."
"I bet I can get there in two." My wife says shocking us all.
"Don't you dare even try Ana."
"What ever you say Grey." She answers me so sarcastically I know for a fact that she is going to open out that bike out tomorrow. Fuck I hate having no control.
"Ana I am warning you. I will make you ride with me if you do anything stupid."
"And how will you catch me Christian?" I can see the men are laughing because she is correct there is nothing I can do but put her on a guilt trip.
"Ana love. I just found you. Please be careful I can't afford for you to be hurt. When I saw you lying on the ground after the bomb I thought my life was going to end. I couldn't even breathe. Baby I just need you safe."
"Ok I will be careful. I love you but I know what you are doing."
"Ans what exactly is that?"
"Putting me on a guilt trip."
"Me never."
The guys leave and we snuggle together. Till I fall asleep.
Ana POV
It is all making sense now. Matt and Elena and Leila. They are all connected and working against me. The hardest part to accept is my mother betraying me. Christians phone beeps and it's a text from Grace:
Just got a call from Elena asking were you are and if you are safe. She says she read the paper and is worried. Said she is going over to check on you at home in the morning. The bait has been laid. Love u son keep safe. – G
I smile at this she is such a good mother. I hope I can be just like her when I have kids. Another thing we have never discussed. I don't even know if he ever wants kids. Anyway we will go with the flow and enjoy each other for now. I drift off at some point and wake up feeling to hot. My husband is wrapped around me like a vine. Its Tuesday morning and we are ready to for the last stretch of road. I called Elliot this morning and they are already there and the house is secure. He did upset me when he told me my trucks is completely destroyed. They tried to smash the windows but daddy installed military bulletproof glass. They are going to get what's coming to them. As I said, it took us just under 2 hours to get to the ranch with Christian giving me a hundred grunts and comments into my ear till I threatened to ride without a helmet so I did not have to hear his moaning in my ear. That shut him up for the rest of the trip.
