They sit and eat lunch in silence for a while.

Kate looks up at Ana and asks, "So did Christian really buy SIP.? I mean that is kind of weird to by the place your girlfriend works for."

Ana shakes her head as if to agree. " Yes Kate he did we had a very long argument about it at the time. But Grey Holdings is wanting to branch out into publishing. Christian assures me he will not interfere with my job. I think now that the senior editor position is open I would like to apply. I know that it is a long shot but I want to try. "

" Ana yes I think you should because you just never know. I mean you are one of there best junior editors. Just don't tell Mr. money bags that you are applying or he may just influence HR."

Kate laughs as she says this last part.

Ana thinks to herself Kate is right Christian would probably give her the job hands down.

" Well they are not opening anything up for applications until after the holidays so I have a few more weeks to decide. "

" Have you ever been to Aspen Ana? "

" No Kate I have never skied or snowboarded or anything. Christian assures me he will teach me and will be right there with me. "

" Ana you will love it its so much fun. I myself have never snowboarded but I love down hill skiing. Its such an adrenaline rush. But start out on the beginner hills you will do fine. "

" Thanks Kate I am excited to go and spend time with you and Eliot and of Course Christian I am so excited to see his home there. I bet it is awesome."

" Eliot says it is. He did some of the build for it. He said he gave Christian a deal since he is his brother. Like Christian needs a deal. "

They both laugh. They both are so happy that they have both found love and its even better that it is with brothers.

Back at the apartment the girls are in there rooms putting away there purchases. Ana looks at the clock 4:00 just a little but until she has to get ready for her dinner with Christian. He will said he would get her at 6. She takes the plum dress out of the bag. She bought this dress for tonight. Kate assured her Christian would love her in it. She hangs in on the outside of her closet and goes to get in the bath and begin the beautifying process.

When she is all done with her hair and getting dressed. Kate helps her with the final touches to her make. up. Ana is glad to have Kate because she is just no good with make up. Kate hands her a mirror.

" Look at yourself Ana you are going to knock his socks off. "

Ana looks at herself in the mirror and smiles

" Kate thanks so much. But, do you think its too much? "

Kate shakes her head and says " No I don't its perfect. "

They hear a knock at the door. Kate says ,"You stay here I will get the door.

Then you can make your entrance."

Ana smiles and does as Kate says. As she is sitting in her room she hears Christians voice he is telling Kate something about Eliot and they both laugh. Then she hears Kate tell him to sit and she will see if I am ready. That is Ana" cue she waits until Kate knocks on her door and then comes out. As she makes her way to the living room she sees Christian's eyes get big and he stands up and walks over to her.

" Ana you look gorgeous. That dress it really suits you. I can't stop staring."

Ana feels the heat on her cheeks as she smiles at Christian. She leans up and kissed him. He begins to return the kiss and Ana brings her hands up to his hair and gives him more access to her mouth. Ana pulls away and Christian rests his forehead on her's, She looks into his beautiful blue/grey eyes and says in a breathy voice.

" We better go before we miss dinner and spend that alone time in my room. "Christian looks at her with his wicked smile.

"I think I like that idea I could just have you for dinner. But then again I think you would make a better desert. "

Ana smiles at him and kisses him one more time. This time gently on his cheek. He reaches for her hand and leads her out the door. She seesTaylor get out and opens her door for her.

"Good evening Miss Steele he says as she approaches the car.

" Hi Taylor. " He is always so formal with her she has told him to call her Ana but nope never gonna happen.

Taylor is Christians personal driver and security guard. Ana likes him because he seems very reliable and sincere. Christian always has Taylor drive on their dates that he says are just for them. He wants to focus on her not on the driving is what he says. Ana and Christian hold hands as Taylor drives through the traffic.

" Chrstian, I want to say thank you for picking out that beautiful dress and all the accessories. It is just words cant describe it. Also, thank you the trip and all the other things you got me for it. I love you but please don't feel like you have to buy me a new wardrobe every time we go somewhere new, she laughs.

Christian looks at her smiles. " Your welcome baby. I know you will look beautiful in that dress. I cant wait to see what else you got. I don't do it because I feel obligated to I do it because I love you and I want to give you the world and your hearts desires. "

" Christina you have given me the world and my heart desires. I have you and that is all I crave. "

Christian looks at her with a wolfish grin he takes her had to his lips and says " Oh baby you are all I crave too. I hope I can make it through dinner before peeling you our of that dress. "

Ana smiles and knows she is blushing.

Taylor pulls up at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. Taylor comes around the car and opens the door for Ana. He then proceeds to the trunk and takes out two bags. He looks up a the bellhop and says, Take these up to Mr. Grey's suite please."

Mr. Grey see you tomorrow about 11:00?

"Yes thank you Taylor that will be perfect."

Taylor gets in the car and drivers off.

Ana looks at Christian puzzled. " Christian are we staying the night? You didn't tell me I have no night wear or clothes for tomorrow?

Christian pulls her close to hime and kisses her when she is in mid sentence.

" Hey Baby he says after the kiss. No worries I got all that covered. For tonight I don't want you to think about anything but us. "

Ana looks up at hime and caresses his face. She smiles at hm and says "ok."

When they walk into the hotel Ana is overwhelmed with its beauty. This is one of the top hotels in Seattle she has never been inside.

" Good evening Mr. Grey, we have your private dining room all set up and dinner can be served when ever you are ready. "

Christian looks at the man and responds,

"Thank you."

" Ana would like to go up to the room first or eat?"

Ana takes a moment and things about it. She would love go up the room and let him have his way with her she has missed him. But she knows they will never make dinner then, " Christian we should do dinner first I mean we are already dressed for it. "

He looks down and her and smiles he knows what she was thinking about. He leans in and says softly into ear ," Good choice we shouldn't spoil dinner with desert first. He kiss's her just behind the ear and then puts her arm in his and says to the man. " Please sir show us the way to the dining room. "

The room is beautiful with soft lighting from a beautiful chandler hanging above the only table in the room. In the far corner Ana sees a lady playing the harp and the music is soft and romantic. Christian pulls out Anas chair for her and then takes his seat. He looks dashing in his black dinner jacket, and white shirt and tie. The Candles in the center light up Christians Face and he just look so delicious.

"Christian, Ana says as he reaches for his hand. You look wonderful and this is wonderful and perfect. " Tears start falling down her cheeks.

Christian gets up and walks over to her and pulls her up into his arms.

" Baby whats wrong why are you crying? I want to make you happy."

Ana looks up to him and puts her arms around his neck. " Christian I am happy you do make me happy. I am just so overwhelmed. I love you so much and you just always make me feel like I am in a fairytale and when I look at you I see my happy ever after. "

Christian leans down and kisses her gently pouring all of his love for her into this one kiss. Ana responds back and she feels every ounce of her body light on fire. At that moment she wishes the harpist was not there because she would seduce him right here right now. They both break from the embrace when they hear some clear there throat. Christian turns and sees the waiter,

" Sir would you like us to serve the dinner now? "

Christian looks down at Ana and he can see the need not for food her eyes. He says softly to her " We will eat first baby then you can have me anyway you want me. "

She smiles and shakes her head and walks back to her chair. Christian pulls it out for her and then says to the waiter, " Yes please we are ready. "

During dinner they talk about there day Ana tells Christian about the shopping trip and he tells her about the hike.

" Ana are you excited about Aspen? I really hope you like the house? I promise to take you skiing but I don't think I could handle you going down a big hill.

She looks up at him. " I am very excited about Aspen and I am sure I will love the house, from what you have told me about it it sounds wonderful. I have to admit I am nervous about skiing. I really don't want to snowboard. That makes me really nervous."

Christian looks at her and reaches for her hand. " Baby you don't have to do anything there that scares you. Enjoy yourself and only try what you want. We can always hang back at the house and have our own kind of fun while Kate and Eliot go ski. "

Ana smiles and knows what he is talking about. Yes she hopes to have some of him in Aspen as well.

" Oh Mr. Grey I so want to have myself some of you while we are there. "

Before dessert is served Christian asks Ana to dance with him. They begin to dance.

"Christian I want to tell you I love you and you are my world. I want to hold you forever.

Christian smiles at her and says," baby I feel the same way about you. You have lite a fire in me I didn't know was there. I want to hold you forever. I cant see a future for myself if you are not there with me."

Ana is over taken by emotions and begins to cry.

" Come lets have dessert and then we can go upstairs so I can love you. "

He leads her over to her chair. As Ana sits down she sees Christian get down like on his knees and her stomach starts to spin. Her shoulders sag when she sees him just tying his shoe.

When he is done he takes her hand in his and as he begins to speak they hear a ruckus outside the room. The door flies open and Elliot and Kate come running in laughing and enjoying there little prank.

Christian stands up and looks at Elliot and says in an icy cool tone,

" What are you doing here?"

" Well Kate told me how Ana was telling her about how you were taking her to a diner just so you two could be alone. Well I filled in the blanks of where you would be going with what you told me today. So I thought well we should crash their party because you all need to get ready to be around us because we leave for Aspen the day after tomorrow."

Ana is watching Christian he seems agitated and she is a little too but she hopes this wont break Christians mood. She watches him take his hand out of his pocket and shake elliott hand. Ana stands up and embraces Kate. The waiter comes in with two more chairs and some more desert.

Christian leads Ana back to her chair.

" I am sorry baby. I wanted tonight to be perfect".

Ana stops and caresses his cheek.

" Christian it is perfect you always make things perfect. Please don't let them ruin out night. I love you and they cant stay all night. I know your disappointed but please I want you to stay here with me don't shut down. "

Christian looks into Anas eyes he is disappointed and she doesn't realize how much. But he loves her and at least he is with her.

" I wont baby I promise. Come lets finish desert. "

After dinner they go into one of the clubs in the hotel and dance for awhile. While Kate and Ana are out on the dance floor Elliot excuses himself from the table where he is sitting with Christian. He walks out to the dance floor and begins to dance with Kate. Ana takes a moment and watches Christian. He is drinking his beer and seems agitated and even upset. Her heart sinks he is upset about out party crashers. She just wishes he could move past it and enjoy himself. She decides to go save him from himself.

" Hey there good looking want to dance?"

Christian looks up and smiles at her and says "sure.

He stands up and Ana leads hime to the dance floor. She pulls him close to her and he wraps his arms around her. Ana is aware they are dancing to slow for the music but he is with her and he is smiling. She will take anything as long as he is here with her.

" I am glad you are out here with me. I love you Ana whispers in his ear. "

Christian pulls her closer to him and whispers

'I love you too. I just wanted a night with you.

" Hey remember I said they cant stay here all night. I promise you will have me 100% when they are gone. Please just dance with me. I know you have the moves to make me want you even when we are dancing."

Christian begins grinding his hips and Ana grind back. He kisses me and its so hot its like we are making love on the dance floor. Ana thinks to her self we are surrounded by a lot of people but, its like just her and Christian in a bubble all alone. When the song ends Christian says come on lets go sit down. Ana follows him back to there seats. After a while Kate and Eliot join them.

" Hey guys Kate says, Why are you not dancing? "

Ana looks at Kate and says we just are ready to go up to the room. "

" Ok Ana no problem. "

Ana smiles Kate gets it she will make sure her and elliot make there exist now. Ana takes Christian's hand looks down at him and says

" Come on I really want that desert I have been thinking about all night. "

Christian gets out of his seat and says, " Lead the way."

Ana looks over and Kate and sees Elliot is gone.

" Kate where is Elliot has he gone to get the car? "

Kate looks at Ana like she is crazy. No silly he just went out to get our bags."

Ana glances over at Christian and visibly sees him become tense. Elliot comes in with the bags. Kate looks at Christian and Ana and says

'come on guys. First one there gets the bigger room. Ana looks up at christian and says, "baby we can always have vanilla with them in the other room. "

Christian smiles at her and says" There is nothing wrong with Vanilla when its with you. He squeezes her hand and makes his way to the elevator.

When they get to the suite Kate and Elliot go off and find there room. Christian had made it clear on the way up that the bigger room was for him and Ana.

" Christian this room is beautiful. I have never been in a hotel room this large before. I mean its like its a house. "

Christian smiles and walks over to her.

" Ana come with me I have been dying all night to get you our of that dress. "

Ana grabs his hand follows him into a very large bedroom. It has high ceilings and crown molding all around the room. The bed is huge and there are so many pillows on it. She looks up and sees Christian just watching her.

" What, what is it Ana? If you are to tired all you have to say is you are and I will hold you while you sleep. "

Ana walks over to Christian closing the space between them. " Nothing is wrong and there is nothing I want more than you right now. I just was looking at this room and I couldn't believe that I was here in this room with you now. "

Christian slowly turns Ana around so her back is to his front. He begins to slowly unzip her dress. He then leans forward and starts kissing her neck. She rolls her head to one side to give him more area to kiss. He lifts the dress off her shoulders and lets it drop to the floor. When he looks down at Ana's back he sees she is only in a thong and a lack bra. Before he turns her around he unbuckles her bra and takes if off and drops it to the floor. He turns her around and Ana grabs his face and brings his lips down to hers. While they are kissing she begins taking his jacket off he helps her by moving his arms. She also starts unbuttoning his shirt. He pulls away from the kiss and looks at her in front of him

"oh baby. I need you so much. "

Ana hurrays to get the last button and then lifts his shirt off and lets it drop to the floor.

" Christian I need you to. I want you to kiss me everywhere. I want you to start right here she puts her hand over her sex and his eyes light up with passion.

He kneels in front of her and slowly takes her thong in is fingers and slides it down to the floor. He leans in and his tongue take no mercy on her Clitoris. She screams out with passion. Christian continues with his masterful tongue. Soon his hand goes up her leg and she slides two fingers in side of her and she moans again. Christian stops and stands up and and begins kissing Ana hard she can feel his want and need in the kiss. She reaches for his pants and unbuttons them and puts down the zipper. She kneels down and pulls Christians pants and underwear down. He steps out of them.

"Hmmm Christian seems you are so ready for me." " Oh yes baby so ready. "

Ana takes him in her and and begins kissing up and down his shaft. She shields her teeth with her mouth and barriers deep inside her mouth.

" Fuuu ck Christian Moans.

After a few minutes he grabs down and pulls her up and tosses her on the bed. He crawls up between her legs. She looks up and smiles at him.

" Are you ready baby? " " Yes Christian please I want you take me here now. " He pushes in her gently and they begin to move and soon they both are lost in each other.

They lay with each other Ana lays her head on Christian's Chest and he has his arm around her. Every once in a while he strokes her hair.

" Ana you are so hot and I love getting lost in you. I really wish you would say yes to moving in with me. I could have you anytime I wanted."

Ana laughs " Oh Christian living together is not just about having sex. "

" I know baby, I am just saying. He leans down and kisses her head. " Are you tired? We could go out and have a glass of Champagne?

Ana picks up her head and says that sounds good. "

Christian gets up and puts on his t shirt and sleep pants. Ana grabs one the soft robs that are hanging in the bathroom.

When they get out in the living room Kate and Elliot are sitting on the couch having a drink as well. Christian pour himself and Ana a glass of Champagne and joins her on the other couch.

" So Elliot says what do you all think we should do in Aspen? " I promised Ana I would take her skiing and you and I should snowboard one to the days.

The girls could ski or shop or just relax at the house if they don't want to try that. I am pretty sure Ana doesn't want to." He looks over at her and smiles.

Ana returns his smile and just takes a moment to drink him in. He is so wonderful how did she get so lucky. She reaches out her arm and rubs his back and leans into him. He kisses the top of her head and frees his arm and wraps it around her.

" Yes shopping is defiantly something we must do Ana. They have some of the best shops on Aspen. We could have another shopping spree. "

" Kate I don't think I will be able to match you in my spending this time. Ana laughs.

Christian leans in and whispers in her ear. " Baby don't worry about the money Let me buy you anything you want. "

Ana looks up at him and caresses his cheek. He leans down and new kisses her.

" Christian you are so wonderfully sweet? You already got me enough for this trip. Thank you. "

Christian says " Hey just think about it. I wont force you to but know that the option is there for you. Don't shut it down right away ok"

Ana smiles up at him. " Ok she says"

Then she speaks up so the whole room can here, " I would like to know what we are doing that we had to get those beautiful dresses for? " She looks from Elliot to Christian?

Elliot says, " It is a night of celebration? We are going to take you ladies out for a great dinner and then go see an Opera at the Wheeler Opera house. "

Kate looks at Elliot and says " That is so great. and she gives him a big kiss and hug."

Ana turns to Christian and says what are we celebrating?

He looks at her and smiles. Well I am celebrating having you in my life. "

" Oh Christian that is so sweet. I want to celebrate you too. " She leans in and kisses him.

Kate says" you know we need to check out some of the clubs too, the night light is awesome in Aspen. "

" Maybe if we are lucky Christian will let us take the snow mobiles out on the trailers at his house. "

Ana looks at Elliot I have never been on a snow machine. "

" Oh Ana you will love it Elliot says. Kate have you ridden one before?"

" Yes I have we did some riding when we went as a family. Mostly we skied but yes we did some riding. It has been awhile though."

Ana is not sure about the snow machines but it seems safer than skiing down a mountain. She doesn't want to let Christian know she is a little scared to try. He is so looking forward to skiing with her. She knows she shouldn't feel this way. Christian will be with her and he would never let her get hurt. He already promised her she didn't have to go snowboarding.

" Are you going to take me fishing she asks Christian."

" I will take you back in the spring to fish.I don't think you will be fan of ice fishing."

" Yes you are right now not a fan. But, I would do it with you. I just want to spend time with you. That is what I am most excited for. "

He grabs her hand and lifts it to his lips and kisses it. He brings it down but doesn't release it.

He looks at Ana and says " Me too baby. Me too. "

They spend the rest of the night talking and laughing that the time goes by so fast. Ana leans back and yawns. She looks over at Kate and she seems so happy. It is great to see her like this. She has so many broken hearts in college that if Ana was her she would have given up on love all together. Kate looks over and smiles at Ana.

" Ana you look beat, Kate says we should call it a night. Yes Kate we should. They both stand and Ana looks back at the guys. "

" Are you all coming to bed? " Elliot stands up and says I am having one more drink first. "

Christian looks up at Ana I will be there in a bit baby. "

Ana looks at him making a pouting face.

He laughs at her and gets up and takes her in his arms.

" Ana go lay down I promise I wont be too long."

"Ok. but hurray I will be cold with out you. " She kisses him and says good night to Kate and Elliot and goes to lay down.

She lays awake for a while and listens to Christian and Elliot talking and laughing out in the sitting area. She cant quite here what they are saying but there laughter resides in the room. She wakes just a little when she feels Christian get in the bed.

" Hey baby he says to her while he pulls her into his arms kisses her face and then falls asleep. Ana doesn't open her eyes but she smiles and places her hand on his chest. She feels safer now he is here with her and he hopes he always will be.
