Chapter 23: Gideon Gets His Act Together

Gideon stood at the window at his office in the Crossfire Building. He had returned from a session with Dr. Vanessa Hoover. He had decided to go with a woman therapist since he felt it would easier to discuss his childhood issues with a woman. His big hands were balled into his pants pockets. This had been a difficult session.

"Mr. Cross…Mrs. Cross is here to see you." A soft voice said.

Gideon turned as his wife came through the door. She was showing her pregnancy and finally was wearing maternity clothes. He had to smile at her. She was so damn beautiful especially as she grew rounder with his child.

"I think you should take me out for lunch." Ana declared as the door shut behind her. Her blue eyes were twinkling. "I am hungry for something sweet."

Gideon had to laugh. "Desert first, my love." He went to her and embraced her then his hand went to her round belly. "How is my son?"

"Kicking up a storm today." Ana placed her purse on Gideon's desk. She was almost seven months along. "We still have to decide on some names."

"We have two more months." Gideon took Ana's hand and led her to a chair. "We also have to get the nursery finished."

"I still like the name Timothy."

"Timmy Cross…uhhh….I don't think so." Gideon shook his head. He sat next to her and held her hand.

"Alright, Gideon what name would you like?"

"I like the name Michael or Brendon."

"How about Matthias?"

Gideon considered the name. "I actually like that name. Matthias Raymond Cross." He bent down and kissed his beautiful wife. His hand automatically went to her bump. His child was kicking around in there. "So, is it Matthias for our son?"

"I love it, but his name is Matthias not Matt or Matty." She said as she rolled her head stretching her neck muscles. "How was your session today?"

Gideon sat on the edge of his desk and looked down at his crossed ankles. "Difficult."

"Oh, sweetie…why didn't you call me? I would have come over earlier." She looked up at him with love and concern for this man that she adored.

"Dr. Hoover thinks that I should confront…him…but I don't know if I can without violence."

Ana pursed her lips in thought. She hated what he had suffered through as a child. She understood his fear that he wouldn't be able to control himself and that his abuser would end up dead by his hand. "Maybe if the Doctor went with you?" She offered.

"At one time I thought about having the monster killed, but now…" He motioned to her and their baby. "I have too much to lose."

Ana stood up and stepped into his embrace. She was hugged into his chest and his chin was resting on top of her head. "Don't do anything that will take you away from me and Matthias. I love you Gideon and I want to grow old with you."

Gideon rubbed her back gently making circles down her spine. "I won't. My life with you and our child is more important than revenge, but I do need to confront the beast. This has to end. I can't afford to ever hurt you."

"Listen, I understand. You have shit stuck in this handsome head that I can't even fathom. I know that you don't want to hurt me in any way." She looked up at him with tears welling in her blue eyes. "If I could take this pain from you I would."

"I know, Goddess." He lightly kissed her sweet lips. "You do give me great pleasure though and you gave me the greatest gift ever…your love." His blue eyes darken as he gazed upon the woman who completed his life. He had everything he ever wanted, a safe place in the heart of a person that loved him in spite of his past. "So, you want desert first before lunch?"

Ana bit her lower lip knowing that her "desert" was close at hand. "Gideon, I always want desert."

He growled as he reached behind and hit the button on his desk that automatically locked the door. "So, Mrs. Cross…you have me locked in this office…what will you do with me? I am at your mercy."

Ana giggled as she tugged at his tie with one hand and cupped his sex with the other. "At my mercy you say? Hmmmm….I think I can figure out a few things to do with you…to you."

"Ana." He whispered as his heart began to beat wildly. His hands went to her bottom and squeezed her softly. "I love your body."

"Mmmm, I love your body." She murmured against the exposed of his skin as she worked the tie and the buttons of his shirt. "You taste so good." She licked over his collar bone then kissed his pecs and very hard male nipples. Her hands went to his belt buckle and unfastened it then worked on the buttons and zipper of his pants. Her hand slid beneath his boxer briefs and grasped onto his already rigid cock. "Mr. Cross, already?"

"You keep me in constant arousal, Mrs. Cross." He kissed her forehead then dipped his head to capture her lips in a slow, luscious kiss. "I think you are now the overdressed one."

"Do you really think that?" She whispered taking his hand and leading it up her silk-clad legs to the apex of her thighs. His vivid blue eyes blazed in joy when he realized she wore nothing under her maternity dress except a garterbelt.

"Mrs. Cross, I am shocked." He said with fake horror. "What would your husband say?"

She smiled wickedly at him. "He would say that you are one lucky son-a-bitch to have me."

"Mmmm, woman, that I am." He picked her up and placed her on his desk. He snapped open her thighs and went to his knees. "This is mine, all mine, for the rest of my life." He kissed her thighs then began to lick her swollen folds then sucking each quivering "lip" until she cried out in pleasure. His fingers were inside her stroking her slowly as he began to nibble on her clit, sucking and licking the throbbing nob. When she came she coated his hand and face as her cries filled the room. "Oh, my sweet girl…how sweet you taste." He licked her clean savoring her womanly juices. Before she could come down from her orgasm he was inside her with his hard, thick cock building another orgasm. His strokes were slow, steady, and deep. She held onto his biceps, digging her nails into his skin.

"Gideon." She breathed. "Sweetheart…yes…oh sweet lord…yes." Her hands slid up his arms into his hair and pulled the ebony locks. "Yes, Gideon, more…give me more."

Gideon growled as his strokes came faster and she was moved from his hard thrusts. He held her in place as he took her over and over. "Come for me, Ana. Give it to me." His voice was deep and demanding. He was straining so hard that the veins in his throat bulged out. "Now. ANA!"

She arched her back and wrapped her legs about his waist. She threw her head back biting her lip to not to yell out in her abandonment of her senses. She moaned as her orgasm came hard.

"Oh…Gideon…yes…" She groaned. She fell apart under him trusting him to catch her. His hands moved from her hips to where he was holding her over her belly and chest. His long fingers entwined into her hair as he pumped harder into her. "Yes!"

Gideon felt his body tense then release as he came deep and hard in his wife's hot, tight body. She never failed to satisfy him. He held her head between his hands as he kissed her passionately. "I love you, Ana." He whispered upon her lips. "I love you so much."

Her big blue eyes stared lovingly up at him. She knew he had problems but she loved this flawed man. He was not perfect. He had a hot temper that could scare the devil out of hell, but she was the one who got to witness the other side of Gideon. The Gideon who would use every resource he had to make her happy. No one knew that Gideon spent hours holding his wife and rubbing the baby bump where his son slept. Ana knew this man better than anyone, but she also knew she didn't know all his secrets. "You are my everything, Gideon. I never want to know a day where you are not with me." She kissed him, thrusting her tongue into his mouth. "Never leave me."

"Goddess, if I left you I would be the stupidest man that ever walked this earth." He noticed the tears in her eyes. "Honey, did I hurt you?" She shook her head. "Then, why the tears?"

"Our lovemaking was so intense, so raw, yet so beautiful and delicious. I am crying happy tears because you are my husband."

Gideon's blue eyes soften as he looks down over her beautiful face. "You have made me so happy, Ana. I never thought I could have such happiness in my life. I figured I would spend the rest of my life just drifting between one night stands and lonely nights. Then, you come into my life and I began to live. Now we are married and we have a baby on the way. I don't know what I've done to ever deserve this, but I'm glad that I did it."

Ana reached up and captured his mouth with her own. "Gideon, you are a good man and that goodness is what has brought us together." Her hands rested on his shoulders and she kept her legs wrapped around his waist. Her eyes grew when she felt him begin to grow inside her. "Sweetie, do I feel something between my legs?" She asked coyly.

Gideon laughed as he began to gently move. "It seems my little friend likes to be inside you and doesn't want to leave." His deep baritone voice made Ana moan as she pulled him closer with her legs. "Goddess, you do keep me hard all the time."

Ana was asleep looking as if she was an angel. He stood over the bed watching her. He was afraid to go to sleep since he revisited his childhood nightmare during their session today. What if he tried to hurt her again? She was pregnant with their baby. He would rather have his arms cut off then to ever hurt this gorgeous woman who brought love and joy into his life. He did not have enough faith in the medication to keep him asleep and to keep her safe. She moaned lightly as she rolled over onto her side and curled up in the fetal position cradling her bump. Even in her sleep she protected their baby, their son. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked her long silky hair. "I love you, Anastasia. I will face these demons for you and our son."

Three weeks later, Gideon is waiting outside a building waiting and watching. A well-dressed man approached Gideon's Bentley and waited silently as Angus opened the door for him. The man slid into the backseat with Gideon.

"Cross. I was shocked to receive your summons." The man said. He looked up and down the very large and muscular man that sat before him. There was still a trace of the small boy that Gideon used to be upon his face. It was those eyes. Still that magnetic sapphire blue that cut like a razor!

"Are you still raping little boys?"

The man's gasp filled the back of the car. "I never raped you. We have gone through this over and over again. It was just a figment of your imagination caused by the grief of your father's suicide."

"Is that what you told my mother to keep her from believing me?" Gideon held his hands tightly clasped together to keep from beating the hell out of the man. "Do you understand the damage you have caused me?" Gideon looked ahead. "I am married with a child on the way. There are nights that I can't sleep beside my wife because of night terrors. I act out in my sleep the hell you put me through."

"You…"

"Just fucking admit it, Doctor. You molested me when you were hired to help me deal with my father's suicide. You misused the trust my mother put in you and turned her against me."

The man was nervous. He had lost control of the boy. "Admit it, and I might let you live."

"I can't. I …" His heart was beating wildly against his chest. He felt that familiar tightness in his chest that he knew so well from the last heart attack he suffered over a year ago. "I need to go to the hospital…it's my heart."

"Then, I guess you are going to die."

"Yes, I did it. I molested you…uhgg…the pain." He grabbed his chest and slumped over. "You …were so pretty…those eyes…I …oh god…uggg…I wanted you…I couldn't stop myself."

"How many others?" The man slumped forward and fell against the back of the front passenger seat.

"Twenty…twenty-five…I don't know."

Gideon never thought this would happen so easy. He guessed the karma was a bitch. "Angus. Drive us to Mount Sinai…he's having a heart attack." The Bentley roared off into traffic. Gideon's eyes watched the man suffer. "You will turn yourself in if you actually survive this, do you understand?"

"You can't prove anything." The Doctor coughed but the pains in his chest worsen.

"That is where you are wrong, Dr. Lennox. Your confession was recorded and transmitted to the proper officials as well as the Board of Psychology. You should probably just die; it will be easier for you."

"I was sick…I got help." Dr. Victor Lennox lost consciousness. His mouth slacked opened. Gideon felt nothing as he watched the man that had raped him repeatedly suffered in the back of his car. He didn't care if the man lived or die, either way he had his revenge. He had closure. The Bentley rolled to a stop at the emergency entrance and Angus was running around the car and opened the door as orderlies raced out to meet them. Gideon heard Angus tell the orderlies who this man was and that he was having a heart attack. After Lennox was taken from his car, Gideon had Angus drive him home to Ana.

Gideon didn't say a word as he walked into their condo. Ana was in the TV/family room watching television. He pulled her out of her sitting position and hugged her close. "Mrs. Cross, I love you."

"Oh, Gideon, I love you also." She wrapped her arms about his neck and kissed him softly. "We have an hour before dinner is ready. We could go to the bedroom."

"Why, Anastasia Rose Steele Cross, are you propositioning me?" He asked in a mocking voice.

"Yes. I want to fuck you." She growled into his ear then sucked on his earlobe which made his cock twitch. She was carried to their bedroom and quickly relieved of her clothing. She stood on her knees on the bed and pulled at his clothing. "You are overdressed for our little party, Gideon."

The feel of her hands against his skin healed his battered and abused soul. In her eyes he was a good man. She saw love and adoration when she gazed upon him. He knew she would never use him. With Ana, Gideon was always safe. He needed to be inside her. He toed off his shoes and ripped off his socks. She had his shirt off and worked on his belt and trousers. Within a few moments he stood naked before her with a rigid throbbing cock. Her hands glided over the sensitive skin of his cock. His head fell back as she jacked him off then bent down to take him into her warm wet mouth. Gideon loved to watch her as she orally pleased him. He was in awe in her skills. "Fuck Ana, I'm going to cum if you don't back off." He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up onto his chest. "I need to come inside that sweet pussy of yours."

Her blue eyes were glossy with need, desire, and lust. "I need to feel every inch of you, Gideon."

They moved to the middle of their king-size bed. Gideon's mouth fell upon her left nipple and suckled as his hand went between her legs to caress her clit and soft folds. She moaned and arched into him. His tongue swirled around her nipple making it stand erect and become hard. His teeth grazed over the nipple making her sigh in pleasure. His mouth moved to the other breast and performed the same service for it. She was panting for him.

"You are so wet for me already, Goddess." He whispered onto her lips and then kissed her deeply. "I need to make you cum on my tongue, my love." He kissed down the silky slender column of her neck, trailing kisses over her clavicle onto the swell of her breasts. His hands stroke over her baby bump and with his lips following. He settled between her legs, spreading her soft pink folds and licked the length of her. He worked his magic tongue on her until she was screaming her release and soaking his face with her love juices. He lapped up her sweetness and worked on the sensitive throbbing nub of her clit sending her once again over the cliff. He kissed her pink folds then over her thighs. Silently he rolled her over onto her side and took her gently from behind. He held one of her legs erect as he plunged faster and deeper into her but being careful not to hurt her. Ana gripped onto the bottom sheet as she moaned and groaned out her pleasures. "Goddess, you are so tight, so wet….so sweet. I love you, darling. I love you so much!" He kissed her as her head turned to him. They both were sweating as they rocked together on their sides. "I can feel you…you are so close, Ana…so close."

"Oh, god, Gideon…oh…yes…Yes…right there…more…oh please more." She cried. She could feel every inch of his massive length as his cock slide in and out of her. He was stretching her but she loved the feeling. She chased the orgasm into a burst of fireworks. She lost her breath and her head began to spin. She was falling so fast and all she could do was cry out his name and let the orgasm flow over her and take over every inch of her body. She whimpered as he kept moving inside her.

"Knees." He said moving her into another position while still inside her. He didn't miss a stroke as he kept fucking her. He grabbed her hips and pushed even harder and farther into her. In another few strokes he was lost in a frenzy as her vagina clinched and squeezed him. "Oh, Ana…Anastasia…I'm coming…oh..my…god!" The sweat was rolling down his the bridge of his nose as he rubbed out his orgasm inside her. "My sweetheart, my beautiful wife." He murmured more sweet lovings to her. He withdrew from her slowly and gently then lay next to her and snuggled her into his chest. He kept kissing her shoulder and exposed neck. "You make me so happy."

"Oh, Gideon that was more than wonderful…there are no words to describe how that felt. One of these days you are going to make me faint from orgasms like that."

"You go ahead and faint Goddess, I will always catch you." He promised. "I will always catch you, Ana. I love you so much."
