The anonymous letter

The blush leaves my cheeks, my legs are failing and my head is spinning, I'm going to pass out. Christian takes me in his arms and screams to Mrs. Jones. He laid me on the couch and moves something over my nose that makes me come back.

"I'm so sorry Ana, I shouldn't have told you this way, are you all right?".

I steady myself a little and notice all the people that have come into the study. Mrs. Jones is feeling sick; Taylor is instructing our new security… I move to a sitting position: "I'm all right now, thank you. It was just the shock. Thank you. What… What has happened? When did this arrive? Have you told the Police?". Christian puts one of his fingers on my lips, "Calm down, I'll tell you everything, don't rush".

It seems that Mrs. Jones was making dinner when a messenger arrived with the note. She received it and took it to Christian, because it had his name on it. When he got it, he found something and ask her who had brought it, because it was clear that it wasn't through the usual mail, but Mrs. Jones didn't know what to answer. While Christian tells me everything, step by step, his voice sound really worried. Once he opened it, there was a typed letter that said:

"BITCHES were born to satisfy the male's needs. When a BITCH doesn't fulfill you have to put her down and you have a frigid BITCH".

Christian looks at me and asks: "Do you know who could have written that note?". And there is just one name that comes to my mind… Jack Hyde, my former boss, my harasser, the man I turned down and who ended out of the company and bleeding… Just thinking about him makes me sick. "It seems obvious that Hyde could be the author", I answer.

"Yes, we already thought about him and we are investigating that possibility, even though it does seem pretty obvious, doesn't it? Christian says. But don't worry baby, we'll figure it out.

Of course Christian doesn't want to involve the cops. That is not the "Grey way" of doing things; and I still have that small town way of thinking, believing that police can fix everything. But, if there is something I have learned in this few weeks, is that money can solve anything.

I watch my fiancé walking graciously around the study; he is so decided, giving instructions to everyone, until we are left alone at last.

What was my last session with Flynn about? Oh right, about me not being good enough for him. And I'm also a magnet for trouble. He comes close to me and caresses my hair; I move my head into his hand and kiss his palm. "What are you thinking Ana? Everything is going to be fine" he says.

I don't want to talk, I know this is going to end badly, but he insists: "It's not fair Ana, I'm always…". I make a sing for him to stop talking. If someone wants to kill me, maybe the best is that he stays away from me… I'm dangerous for him, and it's not fair. "I think you've done a terrible deal with me. Not only I'm unable to give you what you want, but I also attract dangers to you and your family. Christian, you should leave me."

I took him by surprise and he doesn't say anything. He sits next to me, and with a serious look he takes my cold hand between his. As he does always, he takes my knuckles to his lips and kisses them; he looks at me and smiles. He looks so charming, he completely disarms me and my resolve fades. Then, he starts talking, "we are going to pretend that you didn't say that stupidity, and I'm going to tell you two things: you are everything I need and there is nothing I want more than to protect you, and that is not up for discussion… unless you want me to put you over my knees."

Those words are enough to make my body tense and throw myself at him, to kiss him, but Christian stops me, "not yet Miss Steele, first things first. We can't keep Mrs. Jones waiting, because she has suffered immeasurably preparing this meal. Let's go baby."

I stand up reluctantly and notice that I'm still a little weak after passing out. Christian notices to and holds me tight to him. We leave the study but I don't feel hungry. Could it be Hyde behind all this? What did I do to awake those feelings in that man? But probably it wasn't just me; it was all those women before me… what a pig. But why would he send the note to Christian if it's me the one he wants to harm? Sick people…

-oOo-

The days have gone in a tense calm. The only thing Christian didn't think about was hiring someone to taste my food before me. My outings have been really restricted, I feel like a grounded little girl; I'm only allowed to go from home to work, and from work to home, I haven't been able to see Flynn or even talk to Kate. I don't know how much of this I can take, even though I know it is for my own safety.

Today I read two manuscripts; one of them is so bad that I don't even know how it made it to SIP. At least I'm having fun with my reading and my meetings, I feel safe here.

A new mail appears suddenly in my inbox, I check it, but it looks like a spam, it comes from "Your Ghost". I ignore it until I read the subject: "About why I'm going to kill you". I jump in my sit and open it.

To: Anastasia Steele

From: Your Ghost

Subject: About why I'm going to kill you

I bet you are dying to know who I am. You may be surprised soon. Nice car you have, very fancy. It's so sad you haven't been able to use it… or maybe it's for the best.

I try to understand the words on the email. It's been a while since I have used my car. Christian brings me to work on his car, but something happened to it yesterday and… shit! Christian is driving my car. I dial his number on my BlackBerry but it goes straight to voice mail! God, what did Christian said he was going to do today? He never turns off his phone. Think Ana, think. This guy is writing to him to threaten me, and why did he write to me today? I look through the window in my office, SIP looks like a fortress, full of guards, I have all the security and Christian only has Taylor. A terrible thought is trying to take over my mind; what if I'm not the target of this threatens? Maybe this guy sent the anonymous to mislead us.

I grab my purse and my pone and leave the office in a hurry. Sawyer jumps to stand up and sees my panicked face. Before he says anything I scream: "Let's got to the car, I got another anonymous note on my email. Where is Taylor? I'm calling Christian and it keeps going straight to voice mail". I talk while we are moving to the parking lot. Sawyer takes his phone and dials Taylor to make sure everything is fine, but he doesn't answer either. Sawyer tries again and checks the schedule for today and says: "Miss Steele. Mister Grey has an appointment with Dr. Flynn at noon. Maybe that's why he's not answering his phone and Taylor's not with him. He went to check the problem with Mr. Grey's car, so he's by himself."

My worst fears are coming with his words… it's been just weeks since the Charly Tango incident. I tell Sawyer to take us to Flynn's office. It's a place with little security and my Christian is by himself, God please let him be okay, let him be okay, let him be okay, I repeat like a mantra.

Traffic in Seattle at noon tends to be difficult, but today it's just impossible! Come on, please move! I drum my fingers on the seat and call Flynn's office, Flynn's cell phone, but I get nothing. What's wrong with the phones today! I can't get to anyone. When we are getting close to the building, Flynn's secretary answers the phone:

"Hello, I'm Anastasia Steele, is Mr. Grey still there?

"Good afternoon Miss Steele, yes he's here, please hold on a second.

Thank God he's fine. I take a deep breathe. "I'm sorry Miss, I didn't get to reach him and he's already on his way down on the elevator". I thank her and end the phone call, just when we are turning on the street and I see the entrance of the building. Then I see him coming through the door and I get down from the car and take out running to him.

I see my car coming from the parking lot of the building, there's a boy driving it, probably the valet parking. I take off my shoes to run faster and I scream his name, but he doesn't listen to me, he doesn't see me. Please don't get in the car I pray. Suddenly he looks up and sees me. He sees my panicked face and everything happens in five seconds. He tells the boy to take the car away and runs to me, the moment his arms are around me, the boy starts the car and we hear a deafening sound. We look at the car and it's caught up in flames. Sawyer jumps to protect us, but Christian sends him to check on the boy. He looks really hurt, but he's alive. I'm shaking like a leaf. Christian grabs my phone and makes some calls. In just a couple of minutes they are all here, the cops, the firemen, Taylor and the press.

We leave to Escala. We are fine, we are whole. Christian hugs me like if he could lose me. I'm cold, still in shock… "What happened Ana? Why did you come?" he asks. I show him the email and tell him about what I figured out… But thinking about it, I never thought the threat was immediate. At least the cops are involved now, and the family. We are all over the news, so now I have to call mom and Ray, to tell them we are fine and the Grey are on their way.

Suddenly I smile, I saved him, I made it. He looks at me, a little surprised and asks: "What's with the smile? I love seeing you smile but perhaps this is not the… right moment". I look at him seriously and say: "I have lost you two times, when I left you and when the helicopter fell, I wasn't going to let myself suffer again… and I made it… I saved you". Christian takes me and sits me in his lap; he hugs me and hides his face in my hair, and kisses me.

We are already in Escala and Taylor has checked everything. The security cameras on the building and from Flynn's office are lost and there's going to be a strong investigation upon us.

A little later Mia, Grace and Kate come into the apartment. They hug us; Grace scolds Christian for letting down his guard. Kate congratulates me for my insight and Mia just keeps hugging us. Mrs. Jones is already cooking for the army we are going to be in a few.

While the day keeps going, I congratulate myself and pat my own shoulder: I saved him, I still don't know from whom, but I did it. The only thing that tarnishes my joy is the knowledge that this isn't finished. First Charly Tango, now the car, this has become ugly. Police says that the explosive device manufacturing was extremely rudimentary, but efficient. Even the national security got involved, this is almost terrorism. But who did it? Who?.

A bunch of people has come and go from Escala. Grace went back to the hospital, but Kate and Mia stayed with me. Christian seems worried, getting calls and telling step by step what went down today. The cops track the email I got and, of course it was sent from a public computer. It was located in a library, and that's probably the best clue we have. They are asking for the security cameras to see if we can recognize someone. The also left us a homework, to make a list of all our potential enemies.

It's nighttime when we are finally alone. It's been a long day and we have barely hugged. Christian comes close to me, with that sexy look that kills me. I look back at him and then drop my eyes. I feel my cheeks blushing and it's because of the look in his eyes. He grabs me by my waist and sits me on the kitchen counter. He sinks his face on my breasts and breathes me in deep. He kisses my cleavage and caresses my cheeks. "You look like you run a lot to save someone's life" he says. I smile, I'm truly tired of all this feelings. "Let's take a bath" he says and moves us to the bathroom.

The hot water, the shower gel, his naked body and his scars. I stopped him form getting another one today. He takes of my clothes quickly and kisses my back slowly. He ties my hair, pulling it up, leaving my neck exposed for his tongue. He nips my neck softly and turns me to face me. I feel his crotch and know he is ready.

"I'm going to fuck you hard, I think we both need it" he warns me and tells me to get in the water facing him. He takes the band in my hair and ties my hands with it on my back; his tongue is moving all over my body, making circles around my navel and going down. He stops at my hips and bites them softly. Then he spread my legs and moves the shower head close to my clit. He touches my clit with his skilled fingers and then uses the shower head hard. I fell my whole body tensing, it's a delicious feeling the hot shower hitting my sex. Suddenly he takes off the shower head and uses his mouth, sucking my clit hard, it's almost painful, it's exciting and I'm so close to come. "Come on baby, say my name, say you like it" he says. I obey him and shudder once I hit my orgasm.

After I ride my orgasm he unties my hands. "Turn around Ana and hold tight to the edge of the bathtub. Don't let go or you are going to hurt yourself" he orders. He spreads my legs from behind and pulls them up to his hips. His hard cock pushes in without notice, and he fucks me wildly and hard, and we start moaning. Our bodies shake and my hands hurt from holding tight to the edge. Each pounce is harder and he gets deeper and deeper; I sweat and I hold my breath, I know there's a new pleasure explosion coming, I scream his name at the same time he reaches his climax, and then he falls over me.

Everything is fine now. Christian dries my hair. I love it… then we go to our room, "straight to bed, you've had a terrible day" he says. "I disagree with you Mr. Grey, I had a terrific day, I saved the life of the most wonderful man in the world", I answer.

"Still my hero, you must rest", he insists. "Aren't you coming" I ask disappointed. "No" he says, "I need to do the homework the cops left us". "You said it right Mr. Grey" I say, "We must do it together".

-"Don't be ridiculous Ana"

-"Come on Christian, what about Hyde?"

"Name someone else Ana… See? I already have Jack Hyde write down. Me instead… I've had sordid sexual relationships with 15 other women, there's also Elena and her husband, who surely hates me, and so on. I can show it to you tomorrow if you want, so you can complete it… and freak out with it. Now sleep Ana."

-oOo-

I feel hot when I wake up. Christian is lying next to me sleeping. It's six in the morning. In a while the clock is going to sound and it will all begin. I caress his strong arm and kiss him, and then I go back to sleep.

Christian wakes me up later with a soft kiss. He's dress like a sexy billionaire, God he's hot. I could undress him right now. "Come on" he says, "there's a list we have to check. Get dress and meet me for breakfast", and then he leaves.
