I wake but it's only 4am, I can't sleep so think I need some exercise. I haven't done much this week. I go to the lap pool in the apartment block, it's doesn't give me the same satisfaction as a full size pool but it will do. By the time I've spent a couple of hours swimming and on the treadmill I feel more alive, fresh and buzzing, ready to work.

I make my way back up to Christian's apartment, he's already up.

'Hey, you should have woken me; we could have worked out together.' He says.

'What at 4am, I couldn't sleep and didn't want to disturb you crashing around up here. I'll just grab a quick shower and then have breakfast, have you eaten?'

'No, I'll go and do some work and eat with you, next time wake me and I'll work out with you!'

As we eat Christian tells me he's meeting Ana for a drink later but then isn't sure what plans they have, I tell him that I'm collecting Hannah but I'm not sure either what we plan to do, I tell him about last night and how Mia takes over and we don't get a minute to ourselves, he laughs and says she's always been like that.

I drive Christian to work; Taylor will pick him up later.

'Jeez Matt, will you concentrate whilst you drive.'

'Calm down, you always make me nervous, do you want to drive.'

'No, I think you need Taylor to come out with you and give you some tips, in case anyone ever follows you.'

'Do you ever get a feeling that you're being watched?'

'No why do you?'

'Sort of, I keep thinking I see that girl around that was in your apartment but then I think I'm being paranoid.'

'Why didn't you tell me?' Christian says almost angrily. 'When did you last see her'

I look at him and say. 'I'm sure she was across the road from Escala as when we pulled out of the garage.'

'Eyes on the road and concentrate.' Christian yells at me then takes out his blackberry to call someone. 'Welch, she's just been spotted outside my apartment block, get Taylor to look and yes we'll have increased security. Yes, 24/7' he says and then looks at me 'You will have security by the end of the day; Taylor will brief them and bring them to Grey House for you to meet. Understood.'

'Yes, why do I need them if I never get any privacy anyway, you always seem to know my every move.'

'Because although I can track you I can't actually be there if someone tries to do something to you. The security will be discreet, you won't realise they are there half the time but they will give you and me reassurance that someone is close by to aid you should the need arise.'

'What about when I'm with Hannah, will she realise we're being watched and will we get privacy?'

'She won't realise unless you tell her, as I said they will be very discreet. They are not there to report back to me but just to make sure you are in no danger.'

'OK, I think I can cope with that. We're here now; can I use your parking space?'

'Don't push your luck, you're not a CEO yet!' he scolds. I smile back at him and pull into a space that's a few away from his.

As we enter the building and make our way to different elevators Christian says 'I'll see you later, remember if you need to contact me use your blackberry.'

I go straight to accounts and back to the desk I was sat at just over a week ago; soon I am lost in spread sheets and figures. I look at them with renewed interest, seeing where some of our companies overlap. I hear my phone vibrate, it's Hannah, 'Hi, How's working life with your scary brother? Love Hx' I smile and text her back 'Pretty quiet actually, looking forward to seeing you later. Love Mx' I grin at myself then notice I have some other messages, mainly from Christian 'Do you want to come up to 20th for lunch?' is it really lunch time, I look at my watch, it's 2.30pm already. Where did the morning go, I quickly scroll through my other messages. 'Have you already eaten?' 'Are you ignoring me?' 'Did you EAT?' Shit, he is going to be cross with me, for someone who can't cook he has always had this thing about making sure everyone has eaten. I then notice a note on my desk propped up against a sub from the deli. 'Hey baby bro, guess you're too busy to take a break. Please eat this and text me when you're free.'

I eat, he knows my favourite, peppered turkey on wholegrain, with salad and mayo and a diet coke. I text him when I've almost finished. 'Thank you, the sub was good. Sorry didn't reply to earlier text messages. My boss was working me too hard and wouldn't like that I was wasting company time to text!' Now I've finished eating I get back to work.

My phone rings, almost making me jump.

'Hi'

'It's now 5pm, I take it your office will be empty as everyone finishes early on a Friday.' I look around and sure enough I'm the only one in here.

'Yes, it is, how did the day go so quickly.'

'Taylor has the security; he will come and introduce them to you now.'

'OK.' I say, and then click off as Christian has already hung up, he sure doesn't waste much time on conversation.

Five minutes later Taylor walks in with two men, wearing black suits, white shirts and black ties.

'Hi Taylor.'

'Hi Matthew, this is Evans and James, they will follow you wherever you go. Whilst you're at work here they will wait in reception. At Escala they will be in my office and at Bellevue there will always be at least one of them close by in the grounds.' Taylor says as he introduces them.

I nod at them both and then say to Taylor 'OK, do they have to wear suits though, they don't exactly blend in, I'm supposed to be taking Hannah out later but if we go bowling or to the cinema or the pizza place they are going to be so noticeable that Hannah is going to start asking awkward questions. You know what she's like.'

'They have a change of clothes in the car; it's a black SUV so you know that's who will be following. Please be open with them and tell them as much information as possible before you go anywhere, they will blend in and remember they are there to help you if you need them.'

'Thank you Taylor.' I say and smile at him before turning to the two men and nodding at them once more.

They all leave, I put my head in my hands, is my life ever going to be the same again. I emerge myself in the figures once more but don't get far as Christian is now stood in front of me.

'Taylor is driving me to collect Ana now. Are you finished yet?'

'I shouldn't be too much longer; there are a few things I want to tie up. Can I meet you next week sometime? I've managed to put together some new data where our companies overlap, and like I told you last week there are a few of yours that need updating to increase the profits. You even have one that's making a loss though that has only happened in the last 10days but still it should have been kept an eye on.'

'You're not going to take 3 years to train at this rate; you'll be ready in six months. OK do a full report and I will meet with you Monday lunchtime. Don't stay too late tonight; remember Hannah will be waiting for you. I'll see you tomorrow evening.'

'Bye Christian, have fun with Ana.'

'I intend to, bye'

As soon as he is gone I start finishing off all the work I've been doing, conscious now of the time as I don't want to be too late to collect Hannah. My phone vibrates, Christian again. 'You need to leave work now if you want to collect Hannah on time! I'm staying at Ana's tonight, you can stay at Escala! If you need them, there are condoms in the right hand drawer by my bed. Do not use MY bed. Have fun!' Really, my over protective control freak of a brother is unbelievable. Why does he do this? But then I grin to myself, this is the privacy that we need.

In reception, I briefly tell Evans and James my plans of collecting Hannah and returning to Escala. I ask them to keep their distance when we enter the garage though as I don't want Hannah to get suspicious and freak out. On the drive to her house I've still got a huge smile on my face. When Hannah opens the front door she's immediately suspicious.

'What are you grinning at?' she asks

'Nothing, I'm just happy to see you, it's Friday evening and we've got the whole weekend together. Can you stay over with me tonight?' I ask casually, not mentioning where.

'Sure, I'll just tell mom.' She says. The next thing she's shouting 'Mom, is it OK if I stay over at the Grey's tonight?'

'Is that OK with your mom?' asks Mrs Sullivan as she walks into the hallway. I nod, so Hannah goes to get a few bits and pieces that she needs. I end up making polite conversation with her mom, mainly about the weather and work, but she does tell me how much she is looking forward to tomorrow evening.

Hannah is soon back downstairs and hugging her mom goodbye and then we're at the car. I open the passenger door, kiss Hannah and whisper 'Lover' as she sits in the seat, before closing her door and moving to my side.

'Matthew Grey, what are you on about?'

'You'll see, it's surprise time.' I say and start driving, looking in the rear view mirror I can see the black SUV following.

'We're heading back into the city, where are we going? I thought we were going to your house.'

'Hmm, do you fancy Yale, I was looking today they have courses that would suit us both.'

'Don't change the subject!' she exclaims, arms crossed.

'Yes or no?'

'I'll think about it, now where are we going?' she demands.

'Escala, Christian's apartment.'

'No way, I am not sitting having a cosy evening with your brother.'

'Too late, we're here' I say as we drive into the garage. I open her car door and then direct her to the elevator and punch in the code. As we enter the lift, I kiss her, my hands in her hair. I push her against the wall, I could take her now, I'm so desperate. We pull apart as the elevator stops. As we enter the vestibule I grab her hand and drag her towards the double doors. She hesitates and I turn to her.

'What's the matter?'

'I'm nervous, your brother intimidates me.'

'Don't worry, he's not here.' I say as I grin at her. 'We have the place to ourselves, all night!'

'Really'

'Yes, really. Come on let's get some food and beer first and then we'll see what happens. Remember you don't have to do anything you don't want.' I say as we enter the great room.

'Wow, this place is bigger than what I recall. Do you remember when we skipped school to come here but Christian came home early and found us. He was furious and dragged us back to school.' Hannah says as I shudder at the thought, even then he must have been tracking me.

'Yes, I think I was grounded for about 6 months, did your mom ever find out because I had Christian to deal with plus school because they assumed it was me that led you astray and then my dad. He was so angry with me.' I guide Hannah towards the bar stools at the kitchen work top; I find something in the fridge to reheat. 'Lasagne?' I ask, she nods. 'Beer or wine?'

'Wine please, I can't imagine your dad being angry; he seems so calm all the time.'

'He is most of the time, it's mainly me that seems to get him angry, though very occasionally Christian as well. Dinner will be in about 30minutes, do you want to watch TV, whilst we wait?'

'Yes ok, though not some gangster fighting thing' I just agree with her as I hadn't planned to watch much TV anyway. This feels so good, stretched out, arm round Hannah as she's cuddled up next to me with her head on my chest. The TV drones on in the back ground but I don't think either of us are watching. I shift and soon have her underneath me, we kiss desperately, tongues clashing and probing. My erection must be digging into her as she moves her hips towards me. My hand is soon under her dress and inside her panties; I cannot get enough of the feel of her as I slip my fingers inside. Already she is wet as I feel around, the smoothness of the front wall, gently stroking until her breathing becomes more rapid. I can feel her insides building, and then she comes, again the stickiness is all over my fingers as I pull them out.

'Do you want to taste?' I ask her. She shakes her head so I put them in my mouth. 'You taste so good.' I mutter.

'Your turn.' She says and all of a sudden I am underneath her. She's already undone my zip and I spring free.' Wow, Matt.' And with that comment she has me in her mouth. The feeling is indescribable, I can feel myself building, I am so desperate and this won't take long, I shift and move her off me.

'Hey, what did you do that for?'

'Hannah, I was about to come in your mouth, I was unsure whether you were ok with that. I didn't want to upset you.'

'She pushes me back down and lies on top of me, 'You should have just let it happen.' She says before kissing my mouth. She holds my erection, moving her hands up and down; I can feel the build up again. 'I want you inside me.' Hannah whispers as she sits on top, moving her panties to one side I find myself being slipped in. she slowly moves up and down. 'Hannah no, I'll come, it won't take long. We need a condom.'

'Matt, live in the moment, it's the first time, it will be ok.' She says as she continues the slow up and down. I'm lost and match her thrust for thrust, faster and faster, I can hardly breathe and then I come, one last thrust and it's over. Hannah flops down on my chest. I pull out, and she winces.

'Jeez Hannah, that was amazing, but it wasn't how I planned it.'

'I know, but now that first time is over you can be more romantic. It just needed to happen when we were both relaxed and it felt so good, so right.'

'We should have used protection though.'

'Don't you listen to all the talk at school; everyone says it's ok the first time.'

'Well I'm not so sure, I might ask Christian the best place to get you the morning after pill.'

Hannah sits bolt upright.' What, he will kill you first.'

'Probably, from now on we use condoms, otherwise you'll have to take the pill, or get a shot. Let's go and eat, dinner will be ready and then I want you again, in bed this time. This is where Christian always has serious chats with me; I don't think I'll be able to keep the smile off my face next time I'm in here with him.'

Mrs Jones lasagne is good and still my favourite. As I'm eating I remember to text mom, 'Hi mom, will be home tomorrow lunchtime, I'm at Christian's,' at least she won't worry about me. As we finish eating we look each other in the eyes and both smile shyly, 'again' Hannah whispers. I nod and take her hand and lead her to my bedroom. I leave her standing as I move to Christian's room to find the condoms, no more risks. She's stood waiting where I left her.

'I think we'll be needing these, shall we shower first?'

'Yes.' She says, moving to take my t-shirt off. We head towards the bathroom, undressing on the way and leaving a trail of clothes. I switch on the water and drag her under the cascade. We hug and kiss, enjoying the feel of skin on skin. My hands move over her body, marvelling in the smoothness of her skin, first her breasts, her ass, her clitoris. I soap her all over, her eyes closed she moans, then I dropped to my knees and kiss her. Tongue slowly circling round and round, I move two fingers inside which is as usual wet and warm, my tongues continues the gentle flicking rhythm on her clit, her hands are in my hair, gently tugging at my curls. Her backs arches and she cries out, stiffening as her body reaches an orgasm once more. She collapses on me, her legs unable to support her.

'Matt, is it meant to be this good so soon.' I shrug, I don't know. 'Stand, it's your turn.' I do as I'm told and once more am in her mouth. She grips my behind as she continues to tease me, dragging me to the back of her mouth then pushing forward, swirling her tongue at the tip. I feel the now familiar build of sensation, I steady myself by placing my hands on her shoulders. 'Hannah, I'm going to come, stop if you don't want me to.' She pushes me into her mouth and bares her teeth and I thrust, releasing myself in her mouth. I collapse on the shower floor, and drag Hannah onto my knees. I kiss her, and then pull away. 'You are amazing, I love you.' I say.

She smiles shyly at me and replies 'I love you too.'

After sitting on the floor with the water hammering down on us, we soap each other and then dry each other. I pick Hannah up and toss her over my shoulder, she screams 'Put me down.' And hits my back. I take her to the bed and drop her on it.

Grabbing the box of condoms I say 'Do you know how to put these on.'

'No, put I can practise.' She says opening the box and taking one.

I pin her down, hands above her head and kiss her, then move to her breasts, kissing one then the other. My other hand is down there once more, feeling inside.

'You're so wet, so ready.

She looks up 'So are you' she says as she stares at my erection. I sit up on top of her as she rips open the foil packet. She rolls it slowly over me, taking her time. As soon as it's on I push her back down on the bed and immediately thrust myself inside her. She cries out, I stop.

'Are you OK?'

'Yes, it just felt deep that's all. Keep going' I continue, deep thrusts as her hips meet mine. We move together, and then I feel that build. Hannah arches her back , then cries out as she reaches an orgasm and I give one more thrust before I come once more. I collapse, shifting to the side so as not to squash Hannah. I remove the condom, dropping it on the floor at the side of the bed before pulling the duvet over us as we curl up together and fall asleep in each other's arms.

'
