Chapter 20: A Trip to the City Pt. 2

Christian took Ana and Ted to dinner at his restaurant, which was called the Mile High Club - the name as an innuendo for sex was not lost on Ana, but she was at least thankful Ted was too young to understand it. Children were usually not allowed in such a fancy establishment, but an exception was obviously made for the personal guests of Christian Grey. The three of them were ushered along by the hostess through the restaurant and into a private dining area.

"I wish I could have dressed up into something a bit fancier," Ana smiled amusedly as the hostess sat them down in a cozy corner booth, away from the noise of the rest of the crowded restaurant.

"Don't worry about it. You look absolutely beautiful, baby," Christian insisted, taking her hand in his own and smiling widely. "Seriously, this summer dress looks stunning on you. You should wear dresses more often."

Ana blushed, smiling shyly. "Okay, I will… for you, Mr. Grey."

Christian's eyes darkened, and he was about to lean in for a kiss when the waiter suddenly appeared before them to take their drink orders. Ana blushed, feeling embarrassed, but Christian seemed unfazed as he ordered a bottle of Sancerre for himself and Ana to share as well as a glass of milk for Ted.

"We'd also like three plates of the ragu alla bolognese, and a basket of breadsticks to share," Christian said.

"Very good, sir. We'll have that right out for you," the waiter nodded

He walked away, and Ana glanced over at Christian. "Christian, what was that you ordered for us? Ted can be kind of a picky eater, I don't think he'd like to eat a strange foreign dish."

"Don't worry, 'ragu alla bolognese' is just a fancy name for spaghetti with meat sauce," Christian said. "It's one of the restaurant's specialties, and I'm sure Ted will love it. If he doesn't, we can always send it back."

"Oh, okay," Ana relaxed slightly, smiling. "That should be fine - Ted loves spaghetti."

"Cwayons, Mommy," Ted insisted, and Christian and Ana chuckled.

"Just a moment, sweetie," Ana reached into her bag and pulled out the coloring book and baggie of crayons Ted had been occupying himself with on the ride up to Seattle. She set them in front of him and he immediately opened the book to begin coloring a spaceship.

Christian watched Ted with a smile on his face before turning to Ana. "Come here," he said, and Ana smiled before scooting over so she was pressed up against his side. He wrapped an arm around her waist, holding her close. "I've missed you both a lot this past week."

"We've missed you too," Ana smiled up at him, leaning forward and pressing a kiss to his cheek. "I can't wait to spend this weekend with you."

"Me neither baby," Christian smiled before leaning in and kissing her softly on the lips. Just then the waiter appeared with a tray containing their drinks - he placed the glass of milk with a straw in front of Ted before setting down two wine glasses and a bottle of Sancerre before Christian and Ana.

"Thank you," Christian dismissed the waiter. He then poured some of the white wine into each of their glasses, and Ana picked up her glass.

"To the weekend," she toasted, and Christian grinned before picking up his own glass and clinking it with hers.

"To the weekend."

Their dinner was absolutely delicious, and even Ted ate practically everything on his plate. Christian suggested they get some dessert, but Ana and Ted were completely stuffed at this point, so they decided to head back to Christian's home at Escala.

Ana hadn't been to Christian's penthouse yet, but considering the opulence and grandeur of GEH and the Mile High Club, she was sure Escala would be absolutely stunning. Taylor drove them through the streets of Seattle, and Ana couldn't help but stare around at all the buildings - this place sure was different from Easton.

"Have you ever been to Seattle before?" Christian asked Ana, noticing her staring out the window.

"A couple times, back when I was younger," Ana said, turning to look at him. "You grew up in the city, right?"

"I was actually born in Detroit, but when my biological mother died and my parents adopted me, we moved here to Seattle," Christian explained. "I've lived here ever since, though I do travel around a lot for work. I actually have a second apartment out in New York City."

"New York City?" Ana asked, her eyes widening with awe.

"Yeah. Have you ever been?" Christian asked, smiling at her.

"No. It sounds amazing though."

"I'll take you sometime," Christian promised. "I'll likely have to go there next month for business. I'll bring you along with me."

Ana smiled, feeling her heartbeat quicken at the thought. "I like the sound of that."

Christian looked like he wanted to kiss her, but at that moment Taylor pulled into an underground parking garage. They were finally at Escala, and once the car was parked Ana had to pick up a sleeping Ted from his carseat and carry him toward the elevators.

Once in the elevator, Christian punched in a code and they moved up toward the top of the skyscraper. Even though the elevator didn't have any windows, Ana was sure that they would be able to see the entire city of Seattle once at the top. Finally, the elevator stopped and the doors slid open. Christian led them into the opulent foyer of his penthouse suite.

"Welcome to my home," Christian said, gesturing toward the great room in front of him.

The place looked more like a model home out of a trendy catalog - the floors were made of beautiful polished marble, and the open concept living room was decked out with high-end leather furniture, glass coffee tables, and a white marble fireplace. Across the room were huge floor-to-ceiling windows that showed the entire city of Seattle as well as the Puget Sound far below.

"Wow Christian," Ana said, gazing around in awe. "This place is gorgeous."

Before Christian could respond, Ted suddenly stirred awake. He blearily blinked open his eyes and rubbed one of them with his knuckles. "Mommy?"

"Hi, baby," Ana smiled down at him. "We're at Christian's house right now."

None of that seemed to register with Ted, who looked ready to go back to sleep as he lay his head back down on his mother's shoulder. Ana and Christian both chuckled.

"What time is it?" Ana asked Christian, who checked his watch.

"About 7:45."

"That's right around his bedtime," Ana said, glancing down at her sleepy boy. "And he's had a busy day today, I'm not surprised he's so wiped out."

"I had one of my guest rooms made up for him," Christian said, gesturing toward the staircase leading to the second floor. "His luggage should already be up there, and there's an adjoining bathroom in case you wanted to give him a bath before bed."

"Thank you Christian," Ana said gratefully, walking over to the staircase.

"You're very welcome," Christian smiled, walking over and placing his hand on the small of her back. "And once he's all tucked in, the two of us can have a little alone time."

There was a growl in his voice that made Ana's heartbeat quicken, and she smiled up at him. "I can't wait Mr. Grey."

Christian leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips before leading them upstairs toward the guest room.

~Saturday morning~

Last night was wonderful - after Ted went to bed, Christian and Ana got to spend the whole night together uninterrupted in Christian's king-size bed underneath a lusciously soft comforter and 1800-thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. It was marvelous, and on Saturday morning, Ana woke up naked with bright sunlight shining down on her face and her body feeling deliciously sore from Christian's ministrations last night. She couldn't help but smile to herself, her body tingling with pleasure at the memories of last night.

Or perhaps that tingling sensation wasn't just from memories…

Ana let out an involuntary gasp, suddenly noticing Christian wasn't lying beside her, but rather was underneath the covers in-between her thighs. Ana threw back the comforter to see Christian in all his naked glory going down on her, his mouth latched onto her clit while his hands were clamped on each of her thighs, pushing her legs apart. He glanced up at Ana and smirked.

"Good morning, baby," he said against her before continuing his assault on her pussy, causing her to moan in pleasure.

"Oh my God, don't stop," Ana groaned, throwing her head on the pillow as she arched her back in pleasure.

Christian chuckled against her before continuing his ministrations, licking her clit with renewed vigor. He opened his mouth against her wet heat and delved in, eating her out like a ripe juicy summer peach. Ana was so close now, and before she knew it she was coming all over his tongue, gasping and arching her back in pleasure.

"Oh my God," she panted once she came down from her amazing climax. Christian began kissing her up her body before reaching her mouth, and Ana immediately kissed him back, hooking her arms around his neck. Their make-out session was getting pretty hot and heavy when there was suddenly a knock on the bedroom door.

"Mr. Grey?" a female voice spoke through the door. "Ms. Steele's son is awake and he's asking for his mother."

Christian reluctantly pulled away from Ana. "We'll be right out, Gail," he called back to her.

"Looks like we're going to have to resume this a little later, Mr. Grey," Ana said once Gail walked away from the door. Christian pretended to pout as Ana giggled.

"I'll be counting the minutes, Ms. Steele," he said, pecking her on the lips before getting out of bed.

Ana threw on her pajamas and her bathrobe before making her way toward Ted's room, where he was wide awake with sleep-tousled hair and all his blankets kicked off the bed in typical four-year-old fashion.

"Good morning, Teddy," Ana smiled at her son, and he quickly hopped up and ran to his mother, hugging her tightly around the waist. "You ready for breakfast, buddy?"

Ted nodded enthusiastically. "I'm hungwy!"

Ana laughed as she took Ted's hand and brought him downstairs to the kitchen, where Christian was now seated at the breakfast bar reading a newspaper in pajama pants and a t-shirt. Gail was in the kitchen cooking up some eggs and bacon on the stove.

"Good morning," Christian looked up and smiled at the two of them.

"Good morning," Ana greeted back. Once at the breakfast bar, Ana hoisted Ted up and placed him on one of the chairs next to Christian. "What's for breakfast?"

"I'm cooking up some scrambled eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns, but if there's something else you want just let me know," Gail said, plating up their food before placing it in front of them.

"I want pancakes!" Teddy exclaimed, and the adults all chuckled.

"Eggs and bacon will be fine, thank you Gail," Ana said to Gail. "Ted's just got a bit of a sweet tooth. We can't indulge him all the time."

"It's okay, Ted - I like pancakes too," Christian said conspiratorially to Ted, who snickered. Christian then leaned over and kissed Ana on the cheek. "Good morning, baby."

"'Morning," Ana said, blushing slightly as she smiled.

"Cwistan, why do you kiss Mommy?" Ted asked curiously.

Ana and Christian both froze, unsure of how to answer that. They glanced at one another. "Well…" Christian began slowly. "Ted, you know how you kiss your mommy when you want to show her that you care about her?"

"Yeah," Ted nodded.

"Well, I care about her too. And just like you, I like to show her how much I care by kissing her sometimes," Christian glanced up at Ana and smiled, and Ana smiled back.

"Oh okay," Ted said, distracted by the plate of eggs and bacon Gail placed in front of him. Ana, relieved that he seemed satisfied with that response, quickly helped him put his napkin on his lap before cutting into his bacon.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" Ana asked Christian as Gail now served them coffee.

"Well, since it's such a beautiful day today, I was thinking I could take you guys out to the Pike Market District before going out to the marina and checking out the boats," Christian said. "Then on Sunday we can go out on my boat The Grace and have a little picnic before you guys gave to leave. How does that sound?"

"That sounds like fun," Ana smiled before looking over at Ted. "What do you think, buddy? You wanna go see some boats today?"

Ted, his mouth full of scrambled eggs, nodded enthusiastically. Ana and Christian laughed.

"Glad to hear it, Teddy," Christian chuckled, ruffling his hair, and Ted snickered.

About an hour later, Christian, Ana, and Ted had finished their breakfast, got dressed, and headed out into the city. It was a busy Saturday morning, with cars and pedestrians filling the streets - the three of them got into Christian's Audi R8 and he drove them through the city toward the Pike Market, which was thankfully only about five minutes away. They headed into the public market, which was already bustling with early morning activity. Christian pointed out for them some of the stands which contained colorful selections of flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

"This place is so beautiful," Ana couldn't help but smile as she gazed around at all the stands around her. She pulled out her phone and snapped a couple pictures to send to her dad.

"For you, my lady," Christian handed Ana a single purple lilac, and she smiled, accepting it from him.

"Thank you."

The three of them continued walking along the market, and when Ted got bored and looked as if he wanted to run off, Christian picked him up and placed him on his shoulders so he was high above everyone else. Ted squealed and giggled in delight at being carried around like this, and Ana couldn't help but beam happily at seeing her two favorite boys together having such a great time.

The three of them continued along the Market, browsing the various shops and vendors while navigating through the crowds of people. They eventually ended up near Elliot Bay, where a great many boats were docked or sailing out into the clear blue water. Ted began pointing at them excitedly, so Ana and Christian walked over to the docks to get a better look.

"Careful, sweetie," Ana said as Christian brought Ted down off his shoulders and he ran ahead toward the nearest docked boat. "I'm not sure he's ever seen boats like this before," Ana said to Christian. "Usually when he's fishing with my dad they're on a tiny little rowboat - all of these are massive by comparison."

"I think he'll enjoy going on The Grace then," Christian chuckled. "It's a fully-furnished forty foot catamaran, basically a small apartment on the water."

"Sounds awesome," Ana giggled. "Mind if I asked why you named it The Grace?"

"Grace Trevelyan Grey is my adoptive mother," he explained. "When I was a child, she saved me from a terrible living situation by adopting me and bringing me to Seattle - she's basically my guardian angel. I owe her everything."

Ana couldn't help but smile lovingly at him. "Christian, that's so sweet."

Christian smiled at her, his expression looking a bit nervous. "Do you think you would like to meet her?"

Ana blinked, surprised. "Your mother?"

"Yeah," Christian nodded. "She and my dad live out in Bellevue, which isn't too far from here."

Ana suddenly felt nervous. "You mean this weekend?"

Christian laughed, immediately easing Ana's worries. "No, baby - I wouldn't spring that on you like that. But someday in the near future, I was hoping I could introduce you and Ted to my parents. Would that be alright?"

Ana smiled widely. "I'd like that."

Christian smiled happily at her, taking her hand in his own and lacing their fingers together. "I'm glad. We could probably plan another weekend like this within the next month or two so you guys can meet each other face-to-face. Hopefully I won't have to go anywhere for work during that time." Christian chuckled to himself, shaking his head as he looked over at Ted running ahead of them. "God, all this planning we have to do... I'll be glad once you and Ted have officially moved here to Seattle with me."

That last offhand comment was what almost made Ana stop in her tracks, the happy smile on her face dropping into a pensive frown.

Wait… does he really think Ted and I are going to move to Seattle?

A/N: I apologize I didn't have a ton of time to write this week, so that's why this chapter was a little short. Next chapter, Ana and Ted finish up their trip to Seattle while Ana and Christian talk about their future.
