Chp19 the day after xmas
I wake to the most glorious view. She lays facing me, her hair fanned out like a halo. Her soft breath race across the sheet to my chest. I cannot believe how lucky I am to have her. my world is only complete with her in it. The light creeps into the room. As I'm lost in the moment. I should get up and work. But I can't leave. She's casted a spell on me. I drift off into dreamland. Watching her sleep.
I wake to Anna kissing me. damn she dressed in yoga pants and Graphic-T. some sci-fi tv show I think. "breakfast awaits M'lord" she speaks in a false British accent, as she evades my arms. Stopping at the door she turns her head "Food, movie, and me". I look as she leaves, her tight little ass. I lay back. my sweet girlfriend is a tease. Showering, I can't get over how happy I am. I check the bathroom. An do our snoopy dance.
Anna is cooking food, we given Gail and Jason from 23 to the 27 off. Although they are in the staff quarters. We eat and head to the great room. I play some xmas music on the piano as we sing. Our world is so bright.

We're sitting in a little coffee shop in downtown Victoria. Sipping coffee, arguing over her coming project. Which wood, which methods. We are lost in the moment. She holds my hand. I feel happy, loved. She blushes, I wonder what thought caused that. Smirking "Penny for your thoughts" she blushes even more. I feel myself harden. "I was wondering if our neighbor's the Peterson will switch room."
Now it my turn to blushes, we were rather loud yesterday and the last few nights. "Well, if you're worried we can invite them to watch, maybe learn, how to do it properly?" she kicks me under the table, as she laughs. "Funny man, like you'd let anyone see my hot body, nude, sweating, riding you hard, so hard!" I laugh as she teases me back. leaning in, kissing her sweet lips. Caressing her neck. Our tongues battle. She shifts. I lean back. raising an eyebrow. "Let finish our coffee, and head back to bed." My inner boy is doing back flips, yes, yes. "your wish is my command. Drink up"
Walking back her cell rings. "Benjamin? What? What happened? No I'm not in Seattle. I don't answer to you young man! We will be Seattle tomorrow. Get a hotel room. Call me back with the details. Young man! don't take that attitude with me! see you tomorrow." She looks upset. I hug her. "Ben left Texas. He's in Seattle. he's upset I wasn't at the Hyatt." Hugging her tight I kiss her pain away. "We'll fly back, and have a sit-down. It's time." "I know. I just was hoping to have you to myself for a while, before the storm." We start walking to the hotel.
My cell phone rings. "Steele. What? Which hospital? Good. We'll be there this afternoon. Thanks' George." I turn to her. hug her. "Ben fainted in the hotel. He's bruised up. George is sending him to the hospital. He will be OK!" "my baby. Why? How? My baby?" she cries. I hold her.
She stops. Pulls out her phone. We start walking at a faster pace. She talking to the airlines. Getting the next flight out. She is one focused mama bear. I marvel at her strength. "we have a flight is two hours to Pane field in Everret." As we enter the hotel room. We pack, check out and head for the airport. Ben is not answering his cell phone.
My options are limited. I call Christian. "Grey." "Steele." "hello Ray?" he sounds tense, on edge. "I need a favor." "What do you need?" "I need you to put me and two guest up for a few days." "not a problem." He seems unhappy, well tough titties. "We're flying into Pane Field in Everret eta 2pm." "I'll have a car meet you." "good, I need you to send a CPO to Grace's hospital and collect a Benjamin Mallard from the ER. Bring him back to Escala." "not a problem." "ok see you soon." I hang up as we approach the airport. Kylee is leaning into me. I hug her. "Everything will be ok, babe."

We're sitting on the couch in the great room watching the fire and the gray rainy clouds along the Sound. soft classical Christmas music plays in the background. Anna is curled into me. soft and warm. Stroking her hair. Lost in the peace of the moment.
My cell phone buzz. I get up and answers it. "Grey" "Steele." shit, shit. "hello Ray?" "I need a favor." Great what now? "What do you need?" "I need you to put me and two guest up for a few days." Fucking great there goes my holiday. Wonder who the guests are. "not a problem." "We're flying into Pane Field in Everret eta 2pm." "I'll have a car meet you." Need to get Jason moving. "good, I need you to send a CPO to Grace's hospital and collect a Benjamin Mallard from the ER. Bring him back to Escala." Alright now my curiosity is peaked, who is Mallard? "not a problem." Great, shit Anna looking at me, worry in her face.
"Ray's coming this afternoon with two guest." "did he say why?" "No, but one of the guest is at Grace's hospital. I suspect that the reason." "Shit, we're going to have to cancel Gail and Jason holiday." "yea" I call Jason cell. He answers "Jason I need to see you now, bring Gail as well."
They enter the great room is casual cloths, looking tense. "I'm sorry to cancel the rest of your down time. But Ray is coming with two guest this afternoon." They both relax. "We need to send a car to Pane Field, eta 2pm. Also a CPO to Grace's hospital ER to pick up a Benjamin Mallard; a bring him here. Any questions?" Jason shakes his head. Gail looking thoughtful "Two or three rooms?" "I don't know, let do three just in case." "Very well. Mr. Grey" they turn to leave. "I'll help you Gail" Anna say following her upstairs. Goddamn in-law's, ruining my holiday. I head to my study to work.

North shore: Hawaii
I wake to two beach bunnies in my bed snoring. A wild Christmas eve and day. I watch the waves crash from my hotel widows, the sound comes thru the open sliding door to the balcony. What am I doing with my life? I hate the whore I've become. I am so frigging jealous of Christian. How did my little brother catch the precious Annie Steele? I don't get it. My parents have an incredible, loving relationship. Christian and Annie are starting the same path. They are the perfect couple. Even Mia is jealous. I drink a warm beer. Staring out at the big waves. I should go kick Jeff and Stevie out of bed. Waves are calling.
After lunch, Stevie has a line on a party tonight in the Kailua. Some rich kids are throwing a bash at a waterfront house. With nothing better to do we drive down. I could use some new scenery. We stake out a sports bar. Waiting for the party to start. At 6pm we drive over. Big, rich mega mansion. A waste of space. They could have done a better design. More green tech, more molding the house to the landscape. Instead it's just look at my obscene money. I am in a foul mood.
Wander thru the crowd. I grab a beer. Heading out I see a girl, leggy, blonde fighting with a guy. I move forward. "Come on you want it" "no" "you teased me enough slut. Let go." "no. no! no." I stick my hand in his face, breaking the pair, shoving him back over a chair into the pool.
He looks ready to fight. Good. I need some angry management. He crawls out of the pool. Charges me. I dropdown, driving my elbow into his back. sit on his chest and punch his face a couple of times. I am happy. Bloodlust course thru me. I am going to send him to the hospital. A hand touches my face. I lose all thought of asshole. Turning my head to a pair of blue eyes, piercing me. the leggy blonde is smiling at me. I rise and she takes my hand. We walk down the beach. Just holding hands.
Dawn breaks as we lay in the sand spooning. I feel her breath on my arm. I look out over a calm sea. Like that movie about pearl harbor. I expect the jap zeros to fly over. But just some seagull circle about. I look at blondie. So sweet. We talked the night away. Falling a Sleep watching the stars. I smack her sweet ass. "Come on food" she rises looking like a zombie. I can tell she not a morning person. We walk back the house. She disappears as I eat some fruit. She returns with a bag. We head back to the north shore. Stevie is snoring in the back seat. Jeff got luck with a trophy wife, so he'll turn up in a day or two.
Blondie is no beach bunny. She rides as good as me. daring and adventurous. We are a perfect pair. I dread going home. We haven't gotten into families or mainland stuff. I don't even know her last name. we just party and sex the days away. We're both flying out on the fifth.
New Year's is spent on the beach watch the fireworks cuddle under a blanket. She rides me as the fireworks reach their climax. She is a goddess. As she comes in multiple waves. I release, a melt into her. we wake to dawns light. as a light rain pelts us. We rush for the trees. I laugh as she covers her bare ass. I laugh, and laugh. She reaches up a hides little Elliot, that was hanging out. I turn red. She laughs. We laugh, as we head for breakfast.

Early Christmas morning.
I rise as Chris snores softly. I head to our bathroom. Wash up. I stare at myself in the mirror. Do I look different. No. do I feel different. No. I wonder at my feeling. I feel the same as yesterday. My love for Chris consumes me. the sex was fantastic. The feeling of him inside me was mind altering. I knew he would be so loving, caring, perfect. The sex is icing on the cake. I wash my face. Yes, I do feel different. I am his woman, body, mind and soul. Grabbing a blanket, I return to the nest cover us as a snuggle into his arms, as sleep takes me "Anna, love you" a smile on my lips.
Day after xmas:
I'm on the couch counting the ways I plan on loving Chris, or should I say the surfaces in the penthouse. I plan on christening. My what a wanton girl you've turned into Anna Steele. Who would have thought? I mellow as I let the feelings and thoughts wander my mind.
The phone rings. Chris get up and answers it. I dream till I hear. "hello Ray?" daddy? Is there a problem. Is he hurt. "What do you need?" Shit something is wrong. "not a problem." I stress "I'll have a car meet you." He coming here. I need to change, straight up the house. Are the guest room clean, ready? Ugh. I have a million questions, fears, and worries. I look at Chris. His face goes concerned. He come over sit and hugs me.
"Ray's coming this afternoon with two guest." why, is he hurt? Two guest? "did he say why?" "No, but one of the guest is at Grace's hospital. I suspect that the reason." Maybe, I have to get the penthouse ready, shit. "Shit, we're going to have to cancel Gail and Jason holiday." Chris nods "yea" he calls Jason cell. "Jason I need to see you now, bring Gail as well." I try not to worry. As we wait.
They arrive. "I'm sorry to cancel the rest of your down time. But Ray is coming with two guest this afternoon." "We need to send a car to Pane Field, eta 2pm. Also a CPO to Grace's hospital ER to pick up a Benjamin Mallard; a bring him here. Any questions?" Jason shakes his head. Gail looking at me. "Two or three rooms?" "I don't know, let do three just in case." "Very well. Mr. Grey" they turn to leave. "I'll help you Gail" I need to do something.
Once upstairs Gail takes me into a room, close the door, a hugs me. I calm after a while. I confess my fears and worries. I suspect he was with somebody, but I never know him to date. I'm not even sure what he prefers. I mean some of his ex-military guys are gay. I know his buddy Jose has a kid, but is gay. So I just don't know. I could ask Welch to run a background check. But no. Daddy will tell me when he gets here.
