Chapter Twelve: Fun in the Sun

The sunshine, sand, and the warm trade winds made their tropical vacation perfect. Ana and Gideon walked along the beach hand in hand watching the sun sink into the horizon. They stopped a few times to embrace and kiss. Ana was deliriously happy with this tall dark sex god. After watching the sunset, they walked back to the private beach house that Gideon rented for them. Ana felt her body going weightless then she realized that Gideon had swept her off her feet and carried her up the steps to the veranda that ran along the back of the house. He kissed her softly as he carried her into the house. He let her slide down his body slowly but his lips never left hers. "You smell of sun and the breeze." He whispered against those soft pink lips. "I want you, Ana. I need you now."

"Gideon." She breathed. She launched herself at him wrapping her arms about his neck. "I am yours." She kissed him tasting Gideon and wine. He growled against her lips as he swung her around. She started laughing which made Gideon smile. "Oh, Gideon."

He took her to the soft white linen sofa and laid her upon the cushions. He settled between her legs and looked down at her. Her face was lightly tanned making those blue eyes even bluer. She was smiling up at him. "Ana, you make me so happy."

"Love me, Gideon." She reached for him. Her eyes were burning with desire for him. He kissed her softly.

"Marry me, Ana." He said caressing her face with his long fingers. "Be mine for the rest of our lives."

She sucked in her breath. She thought this might happen during their little vacation, but she was still happily shocked to hear his words. "Yes, Gideon, I want to be your wife."

Gideon slide off the sofa onto one knee. He was so tall that he still towered over her. He produced a beautiful diamond ring from the pocket in his khaki shorts that sat low on his hips. It was a beautiful diamond cut in the princess style so it caught the light and made it sparkle like a star. He gently took her left hand and slid the ring on. "Will you marry me, Goddess?" He smiled brightly wanting to make it official.

"Yes, my darling Caesar." She answered giggling. She held up her hand to admire the beautiful three carat ring. She bit her lip and reached for her fiancé with her left hand and pulled his dark head down to meet her lips. "I love you."

Gideon began to unbutton the summer dress that she wore. He had chosen this dress for its easy access. "I am going to fuck you slow and hard tonight, Ana. I want you to feel every inch of me and I want to feel every inch of you. Let me show you delights that will send you into outer space."

"Gideon, I want to please you."

"Oh, Ana, you do please me. I want to please you, honey." She lay before him in a pink bra and panty set that showed her assets off to perfection. He caressed her skin softly with his long fingers, trailing up and down her body starting at her neck and trailing between her breasts; over her flat trim stomach to her hips. "You feel like silk. I can't touch you enough."

He had her nearly panting with just a simple touch. His blue eyes burned with unspeakable need for her. His body was hard and ready for her. He pulled her up into a sitting position. Quietly he undone her hair and spread her chocolate tresses over her shoulders. "You are perfection, sweetheart."

Ana reached over and let her arms drape over his broad shoulders. "Why am I always half naked and you are still dressed?" They laughed together.

"Would you like me naked also?"

"Yes, Caesar, I want you naked." She leaned forward and kissed him as her hands slid off his shoulders and started to unbutton his white linen shirt. She pushed the shirt off his shoulders letting it fall to the floor. She caressed down his broad and heavily muscled chest to his abs. Touching him was heaven in itself. His skin was hot and he smelled of his spicy body wash and the sun. Her mouth parted as her breath came in puffs. She leaned forward and kissed his shoulders, letting her lips trace over his pecs. Her hand started to work the button and zipper of his shorts. He had gone commando so her eyes grew large when she saw his already harden cock. She bit that lower lip as she shyly looked up at him with those large blue eyes. The shorts were pushed down his thighs and she took him into her hands and gently stroked him. Gideon's head fell back as he enjoyed the softness of her hands upon his flesh.

"For once, you are over dressed, Goddess." He said as he took a deep breath and pushed the dress from her shoulders. He stood up and shook his shorts off and left them on the floor. He sat on the sofa next to her and grabbed her around the waist and placed her on his lap. He reached around and unfastened her bra and threw it on top of his discarded shorts. He smiled at her as he tore her expensive panties to shreds making her cry out in disbelief that he had ruined her La Perla panties. "Don't worry, my sweet girl, I will buy you a hundred pairs of them." His beautiful male mouth connected to a harden nipple and sucked and licked it. His attention went to the other nipple. His long fingers played and pulled with her nipples. "You are so sweet, Ana. So sweet." His mouth captured hers as he grabbed her hips and pulled her up then brought her down slowly onto his rigid big cock! He moaned as she slid down the shaft.

"My God!" She cried out feeling his body slice through hers. He was so big and throbbing. Her breathing was rapid as she began to move with him. "Gideon…ahhhh….mmmmm please…Gideon."

His face was buried in her breast as his arms encircled her waist and pulled her close to his chest. "Hold on, Goddess…hold on just a little longer." He said through clinched teeth. "You feel so good…so tight…uhhhhh ….yes…yes…just a little bit more…Ana!" Thrusting with all his might he filled her with his own body. She knew that she had been fucked. She tensed as her climax raced through her body and she was lost to any coherent thought. All she knew was Gideon, the man that possessed her completely. He was her obsession and her life.

"Oh…I'm coming…..coming….oh..oh..yes…"She screamed as her climax caught her and pushed her over the age. She was dizzy and everything seemed to go in slow motion! She could feel his large hands on her hips taking her and slamming her up and down on his shaft. His head was thrown back and he yelled as he came deep inside her. He could feel each wave of ejaculation being shot inside her and the walls of her womanhood tremor with the aftershock of her climax. He kissed her moaning her name into her mouth. He was not gentle. He wanted her to know that he belonged to her and that she was his. Ana collapsed into his muscular chest. "My God, Gideon…that was magnificent!"

"It was magical." He breathed. Her demanding body had sucked him dry. "I love you Anastasia Rose Steele."

With a sigh of contentment she sighed happily. "I love you, Gideon…forever."

Kate heard her phone bing and she knew that she had a text message waiting for her. She was running through the hallway of Kavanagh Media. She looked down to see that it was Ana that had messaged her.

Ana: Having fun in the sun. I have sand where there should never be sand….and I am engaged!"

Kate was stopped in her tracks and she had to read the message twice until she completely understood what she read.

Kate: Holy Shit! I am assuming that it's Gideon. Congrats!

Ana: Of course, who else?
Kate: A certain multi-billionaire who is madly in love with you still.

Ana: Thank you for not saying his name. Is he alright?

Kate: He is a hot mess!

Ana: Oh.

Kate: Running into a meeting…call me later!

Ana: Will do….good luck in meeting!

Kate sat through a marketing presentation and wondered why she was here, however Kate's father demanded that his daughter sit through the meeting. She ignored the keynote talker and thought about Ana's message. She was engaged to Gideon Cross! She was happy for Ana especially since Christian had gone back to being an asshole with everyone. She hadn't seen her future brother-in-law in a couple of weeks and to be truthful she didn't mind. Christian's attitude at best was difficult and there were times he was insulting and cruel. She was amazed that Elliot managed to keep his temper when Christian was around. Kate found herself smiling as she thought of Ana and her Mr. Cross. At least, Ana had moved on and was happy!

Gideon was staring at his fiancé with loving eyes. This woman swept into his life and stripped away all his barriers and made him feel love. He always thought that love was a gift that he should never receive, but here it was in the little bundle called Anastasia Rose Steele. She was relaxing in the double hammock that was tied between two posts on the veranda. She was reading a book but every now and then her beautiful eyes would look toward the blue waters of the Caribbean. Soft trade winds gingerly kissed her skin and made her long waves dance upon her shoulders. She was his Goddess! She couldn't be mortal. He only hoped that he could truly make her happy and be able to keep her by his side. He heard her phone buzz and she picked up it up and read the text message that had come through. She smiled broadly so he surmised that it was her good friend Kate from Seattle. He knew that Ana had told the pretty blonde because she had to tell someone or bust with excitement. Now, they had to discuss where they would get married and how they would be married? Would she want a big fancy affair or would she want a more intimate ceremony? Whatever, she wanted he promised to himself that he would move heaven and earth to make it happen for her!

Ana could feel his eyes on her. Her skin tingled when his blue eyes ravished her with his desires and needs. Her sky blue eyes lifted from the book she was reading and caught his glaze. With a gentle smile she invited him to join her on the hammock. His long and lean body joined hers and she was so light that she rolled onto him. His muscle bounded arms held her tight to his chest. "I have you, sweetheart." He whispered as he kissed her forehead. "I will always have you."

She kissed his lips then deepens the kiss as her own desires were fired. Her body yearned to feel his naked flesh joined with hers.

"I want you." She said against his lips as her hand went to his already hardening cock. "I can't get enough of you, Gideon. You have made me insatiable."

His laughter was deep and so very sexy. "Who's the lucky boy today?"

After making love for most of the afternoon they ate their evening meal on a blanket in the warm sands of their own private beach. Gideon poured her a glass of champagne then kissed her as he handed it to her. "Where do you want to get married? New York at the Ritz or in Seattle? "

"It's not just my decision, Caesar. We should be married where and when we both want." She took a strawberry that he had ordered with their lovely meal and offered it to him. "If you don't mind, I don't want a big wedding. Something intimate and private with no press if we can help it."

He thought for a bit. "We could get married here on the beach."

"You mean during our little vacation?"

"Yeah, why not? I can fly your parents and whoever else you want here in less than twenty-four hours."

"My parents." She moaned closing her eyes. "They will be difficult. They don't know why I broke up with Christian. I never explained fully." She lost her good mood knowing that her Dad would ask too many questions of why she was willing to marry Gideon so quick and held Christian off for so long to even set the date. Of course, her mom who suffered from happily ever after syndrome would not say a word about the quickness of her actions since she married, divorced and remarried with the speed of a bullet train. "My Dad adored Christian because they both liked to fish."

"I fish…when I have the time. I would rather go hunting though." He said. "A few of the guys from the sports club and I head out west to hunt deer."

"Gideon, let's just elope and tell everyone later. Why go through all the grief of people not understanding or trying to talk us into something we don't want."

"Vegas?" He said as he kissed her neck. She tasted so sweet that he couldn't help but nibble on her soft skin.

"Vegas works for me." She smiled at him. She cupped his strong chin and pulled him close for a kiss. "Can Kate and Elliot join us? They could be our witnesses."

"Elliot is Christian's older brother. Don't you think that might cause some problems?"

"Grey won't be a problem. He is distracted by his new flavor of the month sub." She said lowly. She kept tabs on her ex just in case he decided to do anything to disrupt their lives. She knew about his return to the BDSM lifestyle and she know that he was getting sloppy and reckless. Besides having a sub for the weekends, he also visited a few clubs that catered to such tastes during the week. She knew it would be just a manner of time before his secret would be made public.

"Do you miss it? I mean what he and you did."

"I don't miss the pain." She said lowly. "I only did that because he wanted it. I see now that we would never have made it. I can't be what he needs. I never could."

"Lucky for me, because you are just what I need and want." He nipped at her earlobe then kissed down the slender column of her neck. "If you ever needed that… you would tell me, right? I want to fulfill all your needs, Ana."

"You do all that and more." She smiled at him. She traced his beautiful male mouth with her fingers. "When we have sex or fucking, if you will, we are still making love. I can't separate that with you…but with him…it was one way or the other. It was like he had to have everything in its proper place for him to function. It would have been just a matter of time that he would do that to me. I would have become his prisoner in his ivory tower looking over Seattle."

"And, I thought I was a control-freak." He saw the sadness in her eyes. "Do you miss him?"

"I pity him. He will never know any real happiness." She felt a tear slide over her cheek. "I fear for anyone who gets involved with him. He will hurt someone someday."

"As long as it's not you, Goddess, I would hunt his sorry ass down and kill him if he ever dared to hurt you." His blue eyes went dark with anger. Christian Grey better not ever touch this precious lady that now belonged to him exclusively. He would protect her with every resource he had.

"Let's not talk about the past. It doesn't matter anymore. The only thing that matters is this…" She pointed to him and back to her. "…and the future that we want."

"Okay, so we decided where, now when do you want to get married?"

Ana moved her champagne glass behind her and moved closer to her fiancé. "How fast can you get us to Vegas?"
