Against All Odds- Chapter 13
As the blindfold came off my eyes I blinked the bright sunlight blinded me at first. Christian's hands were on my arms holding me steady as I looked around. We were on a beautiful boat, the largest I had ever seen let alone been on. "Is this yours?"
"Yes it is. Do you like it?"
"I have never been on a boat like this but I do. Show me more?"
"Gladly Ms. Steele but first." He kissed my lips softly then knelt down next to me. "These shoes go so well with your dress but not with the rocking of a boat on the waves." As he ran the fingers of one of his hands over my right ankle I shivered. Then with a smirk he carefully removed my heels one at a one. "There now you will be safer, come on Ana I will give you the grand tour."
The boat was so large, we walked from the front to the back where there was a man standing by a large wheel. Christian greeted him and then took my hand leading me down some stairs. There was a whole apartment in there, in the kitchen I saw a few bottles of wine and food spread out waiting for us. "What do you think?"
Turning around I laughed, "I think I am overwhelmed. I love it though, what is behind these doors?"
"There are a few bedrooms in there and each one has its own bathroom." He led me into the middle door where a large bedroom with a king-size bed was. I grinned looking at him as I peeked into the adjoining bathroom.
"Is this where we are spending the night?"
"Yes I thought it might be a nice getaway. No TVs, no cells...we are unreachable to the rest of the world here."
"Unreachable again, but this time with you. I like that."
"Yes unreachable just us and I want to talk to you about what happened. Ana, please do not ever leave like that again. My heart broke while you were gone."
"Christian..."
My words are cut off by a kiss. His lips brush over mine lightly at first but then grow harder and more demanding as I feel him start to walk making me move with him until I feel the bed behind my knees. "Sit down Ana." I sat down as he sat down next to me staring at me with such love that it made me breathless. "I want to talk before we head out, I want you. I want you so bad that I have to fight not to push you down and take you right now but I want you to know about me before we get in too deep. Please just listen."
Nodding I took hold of his hands in mine as I gazed up studying his blue-grey eyes as he spoke. "I am a Dom like Jose or I was but with you I want something different. Ana I want something more." He pulled one hand out of mine to run his fingers down my cheek. "The way I feel about you it scares me. When you disappeared Ana I was ready to go over and beat Jose until he told me where you were. I was lost without you. Everyday I had them check again for your cell phone signal but there was nothing."
As he spoke I noticed tears running down his cheeks and I whispered to him, "I am so sorry that I hurt you. I guess it never occurred to me that you would miss me."
"Ana did you not hear the things I said to you over and over?"
"But when I asked you, you said no."
"I said no because I was hearing you tell me how you loved Jose enough to stay with him. What would you have done if I had said yes I loved you?"
"I...I don't know but from the moment I met you Christian I have had this feeling. Something about you drew me to you."
"I know I felt it too, we are drawn together and I will never let you go but Ana, I have never done a real relationship. I want to try with you."
His words warmed my heart as I started to cry myself, "I want you and I will take whatever you are willing to give me. I have never been very good at relationships; maybe we can make up our own rules and learn together?"
"I like that sounds of that, so let's head out. I want to spend a night with you under the stars where no one in the world can bother us."
"That sounds like quite the first date Mr. Grey."
"Our first date had to be special just like you Ms. Steele, come on."
He led me back up to the deck and then he called me over to introduce to me to Mac. Mac seemed like a very good man and I sat back watching them in awe as they got the boat out of the marina and into the open water. Leaning back I grinned as I felt the wind blow through my hair and I watched Christian.
He was everything I had always wanted, he loved me and he wanted to protect me from the world. Not only that he wanted to give me things he never gave anyone before...that made me love him more. Many times I had said I love you in the past but now each time I said it those words took on new meaning for me. I was finally saying them to someone who loved me as much as I loved him.
After the boat was moving along Christian called me over to the wheel with him and started to explain what things were to me. He was lit up like a happy child showing me his favorite toy. I listened intently and helped him steer. We went along like that for a while then suddenly they turned off the engines and pulled down the sails.
"Why did we stop?"
"Because love this is far enough out that no one will bother us but close enough that Mac can make it back on his own safely."
I turned to see Mac wave as he climbed down into a small motorboat that I had not noticed. He left then Christian pulled me back to him, "Let's drop the anchor and have our dinner on deck as we watch the sun set."
He brought up a blanket and a huge basket. We sat down and we like two kids as we dug through it stopping to feed each other a bite of this or that then he poured two glasses of wine. Handing me a glass he motioned for me to move closer so I leaned against his chest as I took my glass. "Here is to us and to you, my perfect love."
"Christian you flatter me. I am not perfect. The only perfect thing I ever did was come back and run straight to you. I will always thank fates that I did that." I reached up with my other hand to run my fingers down his face as I stared into his eyes. "I never dreamed love would be like this, you have shown me a whole different kind of love in just these past few days."
He grabbed my hand in his and played with my fingers. ''You are perfect. To me.'' He looked up at me. ''I'm glad you came back. I'm glad you came to me. I never thought I would ever know what true love was. But, with you, it helped me to figure love is perfect with that one amazing person. Love with you is sweet, pure, and wonderful.''
With tears in my eyes I lifted my glass to his and as we clicked them together I whispered to him, "To our love may it last forever and always."
Sitting on deck as the sun faded from a shimmering orange to a dusky rose we cuddled and whispered for what much have been hours. We never ran out of things to talk about from our silly jokes to each other to our mock arguments over who loved who most then the sky darkened even more to a deep purple and Christian announced it was time to go below deck.
My heart skipped a beat as we walked down those stairs knowing that this was it, the moment that I would be able to let loose of all the feelings and emotions that I had been holding in check since the moment we first met. "Christian." I whispered his name making him turn to me just as I launched myself at him kissing him hard. Each kiss I opened up more letting loose the passion that had been building for so long and soon we were both breathless kissing and pawing at each other's clothing.
"Ana, you are sure? It is not too soon?" He whispered to me between kisses as his hands found the zipper on the back of my dress.
"If I said it was?"
"Then I would hold you and be content."
"Wait." I stopped and pushed myself back to look up at him. "You would do that for me?"
"That and so many things, you have no idea what I am willing to do for you."
"Well there are many things I am willing to do for you as well and right now I want to show you how much I love you."
"Show me how?"
Without words I answered him with hard kisses while I pushed him back towards the bedroom until this time it was him standing with his legs against the bed as I whispered, "Sit down Christian."
"Why Ms. Steele, are you trying to seduce me?"
"Maybe I am Mr. Grey. Is it working?"
Taking my hand Christian placed it against his pants where I could feel him hard and ready for me. "You have had me enchanted and wanting you for a while, I can take you now or wait Ana ...it is all up to you."
My fingers ran up and down his erection lightly brushing him through his pants as I whispered to him, "I don't want to wait anymore. We have already had to wait for so long. I want to be yours in all ways."
"In all ways? What do you mean?"
I laughed at the look on his face, "Oh gez perv, I meant heart, body and soul. You have my heart and my soul; I want to give you my body."
"Then let me take it."
With those words Christian swept me into his arms kissing me and I felt my dress fall down as he quickly unzipped it but he left on the corset and panties I had on underneath as he picked me up putting me down on the bed. I watched him remove his shirt but nothing more as he came back at him with kisses that soon had me panting and pushing my body against his.
"Christian."
"Ana, I want you in the worst way but I want to take this slow." His hands brushed down my face as he kissed me again. "Just relax and stay on your back...let me love you."
My mind spun at that, who would argue with that? I lay back and leaned my head to the side as I watched Christian explore me inch by inch. His fingers ran over the edges of my corset just brushing over my breasts and nipples which were straining to be free of the fabric and naked to his touch but he didn't undress me any further just continued exploring lower and lower until his hand was between my legs.
"You are very ready and eager." He whispered to me as his fingers brushed over my damp panties which were getting wetter and wetter each second he teased me and make my body tingle with anticipation.
"I am." I whispered back wanting to push my hand over his to make him give me more and as if he read my mind suddenly his palm came down hard on my clit making me moan loudly.
"I think you like that." He moved his hand then suddenly palmed my clit again a bit harder.
"Oh fuck, yes I do."
"Such language Ms. Steele. Although I do like being the one to make you swear and your cheeks flushed bright red." He palmed me again and then again before suddenly moving his hands off me as I groaned in protest. "Don't worry love I am far from done with you."
His hands moved from between my legs back to my breasts tugging and teasing each nipple until they were hard. I was moaning louder and louder wanting more. As Christian started kissing me again I was lost. Each kiss, each touch and each moment with him I was falling deeper and deeper and wanting more and more. I wanted this moment between us to never end but I also wanted more. I wanted and needed to be one with him.
My whole body was burning, writhing and begging for him as he suddenly stopped kissing me and moved to sit between my legs tugging at my panties. Once they were gone the cool air over my wetness made me shiver until I felt his fingers as he drug them slowly back and forth over my clit. His name escaped my legs as my arms reached for him. I knew I could not wait much longer.
"Ana, do you know how much I want you?" I heard Christian whisper as his fingers toyed with me. First he just traced over my clit then I felt them start to enter me slowly at first then moving harder and faster until I arched my back pushing up off the bed back at him.
"Christian, I want you so much too." I moaned at him as my body started to shake from his sweet touch. "Please." I begged as I felt myself growing wetter still.
"Tell me what you want."
"You, I want you."
"Well Ms. Steele I aim to please."
I closed my eyes as he moved from the bed to finish undressing then as I opened them I stared at the perfection of him. He came at me kissing me hard again and again as I felt him pushing at with his erection. As the tip of him slipped into me for the first time I gasped out his name and clutched his shoulder staring into his eyes.
Higher and higher our love making took me that night and never had I had such a night. I came undone over and over under him as he loved me. It was so different than, more loving and more intense than ever before and each time I called out his name it was like it spurred him on. All the time waiting was worth each second as in one night he made me feel more alive than I had ever before. Hours later satisfied and still tangled up in each other I drifted off in his arms feeling the gentle rocking of the boat and the soft moments of his chest under me.
