A/N: Talking in your sleep. The things your subconscious will say. ;)

APOV

We're laying in bed, not ready to start the day. It's a beautiful Sunday morning. Christian is playing with my hair. I am playing with his incredible abs. Enjoying the afterglow of our lovemaking. We're discussing my move.

"I'm sure Kate has already noticed by now and probably figured it out. But I'll have to let my dad know that I've moved in with you."

"I understand now, his reaction towards me. Why he doesn't trust me. I'm sure he wont be thrilled about the move. He wasn't too pleased to meet me."

"He just doesn't want to see me hurt again. I've talked to him about you. He's accepted that you're my boyfriend. He just wants me safe and happy. But you're right. I'm not sure he'll be very delighted when I tell him I'm living with you. I'd like to talk to Kate about it. She helped me convince him to accept my being in a relationship."

He kisses my head. "You have great friends. I'm happy you have them. Even if one is male."

I giggle. "Kate tried talking me into giving you a chance. But it was José that convinced me. There's no need to be jealous."

"I like him more than I did before now. Let's take Elliot and Katherine out on The Grace. It's a nice day and we can enjoy it on the water. That way you can talk to her about your move and how to handle your dad. Not to mention I'll get to admire your sexy body in a bikini, as well."

"I do enjoy looking at you all sexy and wet." I bite my lip.

"I enjoy you wet. Very wet."

"You make me wet. Only you."

He growls and attacks. He pins me underneath him. He holds both of my hands above my head with one of his. He holds my chin with his other.

"Damn right, only me." He kisses me.

We talked to Kate and Elliot about going out on Christian's boat and they've agreed to join us. Christian and I have just arrived at the marina. He drove us in my car. He parks and grins at me.

"This is a great car."

"I think so too. That is, when I get to drive it. Can I drive us home?"

"I'd rather you didn't."

"Why ever not?"

"I don't like to be driven. I like control."

"You seem to tolerate Taylor's driving you just fine."

"I trust Taylor's driving."

"Is this my car?" I ask him. I tilt my head.

"Of course, it is."

"Then I'd like to drive us home. You're having all the fun."

He smirks and his eyes darken. Oh my! I know that look.

"I'm having all the fun, huh? Maybe we should have fun in your car together. That way I'm not having all the fun."

"Fun?" I breath. "Now?" Christian chuckles.

"Come." He smirks, as he opens his door, getting out.

"Yes. I'd like to." I mutter.

"Anastasia!" A look of mock horror on his face.

I get out. We walk to his boat, holding hands.

"I've never had sex in a car."

"I'm very pleased to hear that. I have to say I'd be very mad if you did."

We're standing on the dock in front of his boat, waiting for Kate and Elliot. He wraps his arms around my lower back, grazing my ass. I wrap my arms around his neck, playing with his hair there.

"So you want to have sex in your car, Anastasia?"

"Quite frankly any car will do."

"You're insatiable, baby." He leans in to kiss me.

"Ana!"

Kate and Elliot have arrived. They're walking down the dock towards us. Kate hugs me. I turn to Elliot. He cowers away from me, pulling Kate to stand between us, hiding behind her.

"I would hug you Ana but I don't want to get body slammed." Elliot is so funny.

I laugh. "Don't tempt me."

He hugs me tight. Christian helps me onto the boat. Elliot helps Kate.

"You're dad really taught you how to do that?" Elliot asks.

"Yeah. He's ex-military. Taught me how to shoot, too. You'd do well to remember that Grey. Both of you."

"To military men who train their daughters well."

Christian goes to the cockpit and radios the coast guard. He tells us we're set to go.

"Anastasia. Come here." He tells me. I go to him and he pulls me between his legs. "Grab the wheel, baby."

"Aye. Aye. Captain." I giggle.

He places his hands over mine and we steer out of the marina together. Soon we're out on the open sea. Once we're far enough out, Christian kisses my head and says.

"Time to sail. Keep her on this course."

"What?!" He wants me to steer this boat alone?!

"It's really easy. You'll be fine. Just hold her steady. When Elliot and I put the sails up, turn the engines off. Here." He points to a button. "Okay?"

"Yeah." I nod.

He gives me a chaste kiss and joins Elliot. They start untying ropes and the sails go up. I feel a pull.

"Hold her steady, baby. Cut the engines!" Christian yells to me.

I do as I'm told. Kate waves at me. Christian comes to stand behind me, wrapping his strong arms around me. He nuzzles my ear.

"What do you think, Anastasia?"

"It's fantastic! Amazing!" It really is.

I grin looking over my shoulder at him. He grins back. He kisses me chastely again. I turn back around to admire the beautiful view.

"This view is incredible."

"I know. I could stare at it or you all day." He kisses my temple.

Later, when we're anchored. We're all sitting on deck chairs. I'm sitting in Christian's lap.

"Have you had anymore problems?" I know what she's talking about.

"Christian took care of it."

"Christian took care of it? You told him who he is? What did he do?"

"I fucked him over." Christian caught on to what Kate is inquiring about.

"Okay." Elliot says. "You've all lost me. What problems? Who did Christian fuck over?"

"Ana's ex." Kate brushes off Elliot's questioning. "So what'd you do Grey?"

"I've recently purchased his company, giving me the opportunity to sell it piece by piece. I've bankrupted him."

"Shit. Well good. He deserves it."

"He also hit him."

"You did?! I wish I got a lick in. Thankfully José and Ray did. And now you. Show him how it feels."

"Are we going to continue this conversation where I'm the only one who doesn't know what's going on?" Eliot chimes in again.

I'd like to get off the subject as well, however, now that Kate knows that Christian knows. She wants details.

"So where did you see him? At GEH again?" Shit! Kate! I didn't tell Christian about seeing him at GEH.

"GEH? Anastasia you didn't tell me you saw him at my office?"

"I didn't want to upset you."

"You didn't want to upset me?! You put yourself at risk. I didn't know you knew I was doing business with him. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"What was I to say, 'hey Christian don't do business with Clayton's hardware for reasons I don't want you to know.' You would have figured it out, that he's my ex. I told you, I didn't want anything to happen to you."

"Wait. Paul Clayton is Ana's ex. That's why you sold off the hardware store we looked into and purchased?"

"Yes." Kate and Christian tell Elliot.

"Gees. What did the guy do to deserve a beat down and to lose his business?"

Kate and Christian look to me. I nod.

"He beat Ana." Kate says quietly.

"Shit! Well, why didn't you kick his ass, little Ana? You took me and Sawyer down. Is the guy a mammoth or something?"

"My dad taught me the self defense after it happened. So it wouldn't happen again. Although, I'm not sure it's helpful. Both times I've seen him, I froze."

"That's why you have Sawyer with you, baby." Christian reminds me, kissing my head. "Nothing is going to happen to you." I nod.

"So are you and Grey living together now?" I love that Kate knows when I've had too much and changes the subject. Luckily, it's subject I need to talk to her about.

"Yes. I've officially moved in with Christian."

"I figured you might have. I haven't seen you at our place since you two got together."

"I have to let Ray know. He's not going to be pleased."

"Yeah, that's going to be a tough conversation. Good luck."

"I'm not sure how to tell him."

"Just talk to him. He just wants you safe and happy. Let him know, reassure him that you are."

We enjoy the rest of our time on Christian's boat. After our conversations, we had fun. Relaxing, swimming, enjoying each others company. I even got to drive home. Although, Christian did complain about my driving the whole way.
