I have decided it's best to tell Ray in person about my moving in with Christian. So Christian and I are going to Montesano this weekend. We'll stay in a hotel while we are there. Christian said he would come with me to tell my dad. I'm not so sure that's a good idea. Ray does have plenty of guns and weapons around his house. I know Ray would not use them on Christian, however, it may be best I tell my dad alone. They can meet up on neutral territory after. I suggested to Christian we take my dad to dinner or something together the next day. That way they can get to know each other a little more and maybe it will help my dad to know I am safe with Christian.

Monday morning.

I wake to Christian kissing my head. "I have to go, baby."

"What time is it?" Shit! Have I slept in?

"Don't worry, you're not late. I have a breakfast meeting. You can drive yourself, Sawyer following or Sawyer can drive you. I'd prefer it if Sawyer drove you but I know you want to have fun with your new car." He says wiggling his brow at the word fun.

I playfully hit his arm. "Ow!"

"Oh, please. I didn't even hit you that hard."

He chuckles. He looks so sexy in his CEO gear. I can't resist, I grab him and pull him to me. Kissing him with passion.

"As tempting at you are. *kiss* I really do have to go."

I continue to kiss him, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"No. Don't go." I say between kisses.

I want him. Advantages of sleeping naked, I move the sheets covering my body and wrap my legs around him, as well. I grind into him. He growls, settling between my legs, grinding into my sex.

"This has to be quick, baby." He says.

I hear his belt being undone and his zipper. Christian suddenly kneels up. taking me by surprise, he spins me around. He smacks my ass.

"We don't have long." He grabs my hips, pulling me up and slams into me.

"Ah!"

He relentlessly pounds into me. The feeling is mind-blowing. I push back, meeting his thrusts. He grips my hips tighter.

"Ana." He grunts out. OH! I clench around him.

I grind against him harder, frantically.

"Fuck!" He roars as he comes, smacking my ass again. I explode, coming with him.

Well, he did say we had to be quick.

He pulls out. I collapse onto the bed, on my belly. He rubs my ass, then climbs off the bed. He's panting. His face is of pure bliss. He kisses me.

"Thank you for that, baby." He says, pulling his suit pants back up. "Good thing I'm the CEO. I've gotta go." One last kiss and he's gone.

I lift my head to look at the clock. Might as well get up and start to get ready for work. I make the bed like I usually do every morning. After my shower and getting dressed, I head to the kitchen to make my breakfast.

"Good morning, Ms. Steele. What can I get you for breakfast?" Oh, I forgot about her. She was here all last week but not during the weekend.

"Morning, Mrs. Jones. You don't have to do that. I can do it. And you can call me Ana, ya know."

"Ana." She smiles at me. "It's my job. I'm happy to do it. And you can call me Gail, if you'd like."

"Okay then. Um, just an egg sandwich today. Thanks, Gail." I guess I'll have to get use to this.

Mrs. Jones makes my breakfast. My phone rings. I don't know the number.

"Hello?"

"Ana!"

"Hi, Mia."

"Do you have plans for lunch today? I'm so bored. I need to get out."

"Um. No. I don't think I have any plans for lunch today. Your brother has meetings, so I'm free."

"Great! I can't wait! I'll meet you at GEH!"

"Okay. Cool."

"See ya then! Laters!"

I finish my breakfast and walk to the elevator where Sawyer is waiting.

"Ms. Steele." He nods, pushing the elevator button.

"Sawyer."

"Will you be driving your car today Ms. Steele or shall I drive you?" He asks in the elevator.

Christian said Paul might retaliate and he'd prefer if Sawyer drove me.

"Well, we're going to the same place. So you might as well drive us."

We walk out of the elevator to the SUV. He opens the rear door for me. I climb in. He gets behind the wheel.

"Doesn't it get very boring watching over me all day?" Surly this can't be a very exciting security job.

"Not to me, Ms. Steele. It's what I do."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..." I didn't mean to imply his job was boring, just that it must be boring watching me.

"My job is to protect you and that's what I'll do." I smile at him through the rear view mirror. He returns it with his own smile.

I decide to text Christian on the way to work.

I love waking up with you in the morning. I do hope I haven't made you too late. XoXo -A

You have turned into my little Sex Kitten, haven't you? x -C

'Meow!' x -A I giggle.

And I'm loving it! x -C

Is sex like this for everyone? x -A

I can't speak for everyone. But it's pretty damn special with you baby! x -C

I'm surprised anyone gets out of bed. x -A

You're insatiable, baby! xx -C

If I didn't have plans. I'd come into your office on my lunch break and show you how insatiable you keep insisting I am. Perhaps, I should dominate you, Mr. Grey! xx -*Mistress Anastasia*- xx -A

I've just spat coffee all over my desk! I don't think my heart could take another text like that... or my pants for that matter. xx -Hard- xx -C

** Giggles! ** xx -A

Behave! xx -C

Just before I put my phone away it buzzes again.

What plans? x -C I giggle. Christian.

I'm having lunch with you sister today. x -A

Have fun. You know how Mia can be. Keep Sawyer close. x -C

I will. To both. Love and Kisses! -A

We arrive at GEH and I get to work.

I'm here! Let's blow this popsicle stand! -Mia

I giggle. Mia!

On my way down. -A

I go down in the elevator to meet Mia in the lobby of GEH. We hug and kiss each others cheeks. People, of course, are starring.

"Thanks for agreeing to have lunch with me, Ana! I was so bored." Mia says as we link arms and walk out of GEH. Sawyer following.

"I didn't have anything planned. I'm happy to have lunch with you."

"Are you seeing Christian later then?"

"Yes. We live together."

"What?! Oh my gosh! That's... That's... Oh my gosh!" I blush. "Are you guys going to get married?" She asks, excited.

Marriage?! "No." I nervously laugh. "We've just started seeing each other."

Then furrow my brow thinking of the dream I had the other night. When I dreamed Christian asked me to marry him. Shit! Maybe it wasn't a dream.

"But you like him, right?"

"Of course. I love him." She beams at me, squealing. She jumps up and down holding onto my arm. "Ready for lunch?"

"Yes! Come on, I'm starving. Did you bring your car? I'd hate to ruin our heels by walking. I've got mine, if you need me to drive."

"Um. Actually, Sawyer brought me."

"Oh goodie! He can drive us."

I turn around to ask Sawyer. He's looking around us, causing me to look too then back at him. He's looking at me now.

"Everything okay?" I ask him.

"Fine, Ms. Steele." He assures me.

I nod. "Um. Would it be okay if you drove us to the restaurant, please?"

"Of course, Ms. Steele."

We follow Sawyer to Christian's SUV. He opens the rear door for us. We slide in.

"You're a great person, Ana. I'm really glad Christian has you in his life. He's lucky to have you." Where did that come from?

I smile fondly. "I'm glad I have him. I'm the lucky one."

Sawyer pulls up to the restaurant. Mia and I get out, while Sawyer holds the SUV door open. We hear a cat call. There's a guy leaning against the wall of the restaurant. Ignoring him, we walk passed and toward the restaurant door.

"DAMN! You're fine! Hey... What has one-hundred-forty-two teeth and holds back The Incredible Hulk?"

Mia mutters to me. "Well, this ought to be good."

"My zipper." We laugh and keep walking. We're almost to the door, he continues. "Wait. Wait. Feel my sweater. It's made of boyfriend material."

We laugh and open the restaurant door.

"I think I could make you really happy." He continues with his bad pick-up lines.

"Why? Are you leaving?" I say.

He comes toward me smiling but just before he can get to me, Sawyer is between us pushing the guy away. Mia and I go inside. We can see Sawyer through the window. He says something to the guy. The guy walks backward to leave. He motions a 'call me', before he walks away.

We sit and order. "He should wear a button. Warning: Single guy with bad pick up lines." Mia says. We giggle.

My phone rings. Of course, it's Christian.

"Hi."

"Baby, are you alright?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be."

"Sawyer told me someone was harassing you."

"It wasn't like that. Just an innocent guy with bad pick up lines. Honestly."

"I'm glad Sawyer was there. Make sure you stay close to him."

"Yes, Christian." I say exasperated. "I'm having lunch with Mia, now. I'll talk with you later, okay."

"Alright. I'll see you at home. Bye baby. I love you!"

"Love you, too." I hang up smiling.

I look at Mia and she is grinning at me. Our food has arrived. We start eating our lunch.

"It's a good thing Christian wasn't here. We wouldn't want a brawl."

"A brawl?" Visions of Christian in his tux on Saturday night, pop into my head.

"Yeah. When Christian was a teenager he was always brawling. Drove our parents crazy, coming home with cut lips and black eyes. He was even expelled from two schools. He inflicted some serious damage on his opponents. But it suddenly stopped and he has cooled down since then." She shrugs.

I remember Christian saying he was an angry teenager, but wow!

We continue with our lunch. Mia is a very energetic girl. Fun. But she has a ton of energy. Sawyer takes us back to GEH. Mia leaves. I return to work.

After work, Sawyer drove me home. I'm in Christian's, I mean our, closet packing for our weekend trip to my dad's. I've just finished when Christian walks in.

"What on earth are you doing?"

"Packing." What does he think I'm doing? "I didn't think I would have time any other day so I wanted to get it done now, that way it's out of the way."

"Baby. Gail can do that."

"Well, I've already done it. Now we don't have to worry about it. You may want to check yours though. I put what I thought you'd like and need but I wasn't sure."

"I'm sure whatever you've packed for me is fine." He says. He leans against the closet door frame, arms crossed at his chest.

"I hope so."

"I will add a few things, but Gail usually does this stuff. She mentioned you clean our room. Well, she suspected it was you. Anastasia, you have to let her do her job, baby. The cooking, cleaning, and now packing. You don't have to worry about all of that."

"I'm sorry, Christian. I'm just not use to all of this." The wealth, the help, the security detail."

He walks over to me and kisses me softly. "I know, baby. I know."
