A/N: To the guest reviewer who pointed out that Kate also saw Christian in all his glory in Aspen. Yep I totally forgot. Thanks for reminding me I'm going to fix this soon.

Ana's POV
I stare at Christian, my expression completely blank. Did he just ask me to marry him? Did he mean it? Oh my God, this is crazy we've known each other for such a short amount of time and now he asked me to marry him.
"Ana, say something, please" I look into his beautiful eyes and what I see is clearly fear. No! Does he think I'm going to say no? Shit I need to say something and for once in my life I don't think and say the first thing that comes to my mind.
"Yes." There, I did it. Oh dear what are my parents going to say?
"You want to marry me?" I smile about the incredulous expression on his face. "Yes, I want to marry you. Though, you do realise that this was not the most romantic proposal?"
"Maybe, but it worked you said yes which means before the end of the year you will be my wife." he looks sickeningly pleased with himself but now I'm shocked.
"The end of the year. Christian it's the end of september so there isn't much time left to plan a whole wedding before the end of the year." I know I sound alarmed but Christian get's up with me in his arms. "Come on Baby, lets clean up and then we can talk. But Ana I mean it before the end of the year you will be Mrs. Anastasia Grey. I know a wedding is a big deal for women so I will give you sometime to arrange the wedding you want, but I'm not starting the new year without you as my wife. If I could have my way we would elope and marry in Vegas tomorrow."
"Ok, I will have to plan quick then, but Vegas is no option. My Daddy always said if one of his daughters would elope and get married in Vegas he would shoot the guy and I want to grow old and grey with you."
After we finished our shower Christian told me he had to make a quick phone call and left me in the bedroom. It's nearly 10 in the evening. Whom is he calling and didn't he want to talk about our wedding? I pout as I dress in one of the short and really sexy nightgowns that Christian bought me last week. I guess I have to get used to this. After all he is a very important businessman, so I better get used to his work interrupting us.
Once I'm dressed I braid my towel dried hair and sit on the bed to wait for Christian, but just then my phone rings with an incoming text that makes me laugh.
*Have you done it yet? Was it good?* I giggle. Kate is so curious.
*Yes, I'm officially no longer a virgin. It was perfect. Call me tomorrow*
That should be enough information for her until tomorrow. I'm so not going to text her that Christian proposed. She would call me and would talk for the rest of the night making plans for the wedding. No this can wait.
I'm just about to go and look if Christian has finished his call when he returns to the bedroom dressed only in jeans. He is so freaking hot I could jump him everytime I see him.
"Like what you see" he smirks and I blush. Crap caught staring... oh whatever he is going to be my husband which means I can ogle him all I want.
"Yes, very much so Mister Grey." I smirk back and he pulls me into his arms. "Come I have a little surprise for you. Close your eyes, no peeking!" I do as I'm told and he leads me out of the bedroom and through the apartment.
"Wait here, eyes closed!" he orders and I hear him move around. What is he doing? I think I hear the pop of a champagne bottle and then the sound system comes to life with one of my favorite songs 'Wanted' by Hunter Hayes.
"You can look now" I open my eyes and it takes me a second to comprehend what I am seeing. We are in the greatroom near the piano and there are candles everywhere, rose petals are all over the floor and Christian is in front of me on one knee. Oh. My. God!
"How... when...?" Ok I have officially lost the ability to form a complete sentence, but Christian just smiles and takes my hand.
"Anastasia Steele, you are the most amazing person I have ever met in my entire life. You are sweet, loving, caring, passionate and so much more. There is nothing I want more than to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you as my best friend, my wife, the mother of my children and the one person I can always trust. Will you make me the luckiest man on earth and marry me?"
I can't help it I start to cry. This is so romantic and perfect. I have no idea how he did this in less then 10 minutes, but all I know is that I want to spend the rest of my life with him.
"Yes" I whisper through my tears and he get's up, picks me up and kisses me with so much passion that we are both gasping for air once we break our kiss.
"I have something for you" Christian takes a small velvet encased box from his pantspocket and opens it so I can see the most amazing ring I have ever seen in my life.
It's white gold and looks like two rings entwined with each other, it has an oval diamond that builds the center of a blossom made out of small diamonds and white gold. It's unique, the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life.
"Do you like it?"
"It's amazing Christian." he takes my hand, puts the ring on my finger and smiles proudly when he sees that it fits perfectly.
"Thank you" I reach up and kiss him before he gets us both a glass of champagne and we sit down in front of the fireplace. "So what do you think how long will you need to plan the wedding?"
"Mmm I don't know I guess a month at least. So we could marry late october or early november if we find a location and get everything together until then." I answer and Christian frowns.
"We could marry at my parents house."
"I don't know do they have a room big enough for a wedding?"
"We could use the backyard"
"At this time of the year? It's too cold Christian we would have to get a huge tent and heaters..."
"Why not. It's not that much of a big deal. Think about, ok?" I look at him and I can tell that it would mean a lot to him to marry at his parents home.
"Ok, we will marry at your parents place. I guess between Grace and my Mom they have enough connections to make this work. Mmmh today is september 29th, if we need a month to plan everything we could marry in a month. How does the 29th of october sound to you?"
Christian thinks about it for a second a nods. "That would fit perfectly baby, we could marry, go on our honey for three or four weeks and be back in time to celebrate thanksgiving with our family."
I take a sip of champagne and frown. "What is it baby?"
"Nothing, it's just I always pictured that on my wedding day Jenny would be my maid of honor. I guess now I will ask Kate, do you think Mia would like to be a bridesmaid?"
"She would make both our lives hell if not. Ana I think you should try to talk to your sister. I'm not a fan of her and honestly I don't want her anywhere near you, but you deserve closure, so maybe you should call her." I just look at Christian.
Eversince Jenny has send me my teddybear I keep thinking why she did that. Yes I want to talk to her, but I'm not sure I could take it if this turns out bad.
"I don't know Christian. Can we talk about this some other time?"
"Sure. So do you want to invite your parents to come here or do you want us to go to Montesano to tell them that we are engaged?"
"We could go on sunday. I know they are home sunday. Wow I wonder what my parents will have to say."
"Your Dad seemed very happy" Christian grins and raise a questioning brow. "I called him two weeks ago to ask for his blessing Ana. He said he is happy with us getting married as long as you are happy about it. Well and that he would shoot me if I would ever hurt you."
"That sounds like my Dad. Wait for how long have you been planning to ask me?"
"For a while. So what else do we need. I mean what kind of a wedding do you want?"
"Not a big one. Just family and friends. With my family and friends I will have about 25 to 30 people. How many people do you want to invite?"
"My family, maybe Ros and her girlfriend. Flynn and his wife and that would pretty much be it, but I guess my Mom will have some more people she wants to add to that list."
"Oh no. I hope my Mom doesn't want to invite her cougar club" I groan. "Her what?"
"I call it the cougar club. She is friends with some women who never really settled and even in the late 40's are dating guys half their age. I probably have to lock you away if they come to our wedding." I frown at the thought and Christian doesn't look pleased at all.
"Hey, they won't come I tell my Mom she can invite her best friend and her husband and maybe our neighbors, their daughter was my babysitter, she is now married and has three kids. Maybe her girls can be the flowergirls for the wedding or do you have any kids in your family?"
"There is the son of my cousin Henry, but I don't want that brat in my wedding. I swear that kid is possessed or something like that. Last time they came to visit my parents he threw a major tantrum and has bitten my uncle who tried to calm him down. Turns out that little shit bites a lot."
"Umm you know let's stick to the girls of my former babysitter. I don't think I want a boy as ring carrier who has to wear a muzzle on our wedding." I giggle and Christian laughs.
"Yes, that might look awkward in the pictures."
"Your right, oh how many groomsmen do you want to have. I mean I need to know before I pick my bridesmaids so it will be a even picture."
Christian frowns and I realise that he doesn't have any friends. "I thought of Elliot as my best man. Do I need to have groomsmen?"
"No, not if you don't want to. Though you could ask Luke, he is dating your sister."
He doesn't seem to like that idea judging the look on his face. "How about your brother and Jose. They mean a lot to you so we should have them in our wedding."
"That would be perfect, but you don't have to ask them if you only want Elliot."
"Ana, I told you I don't need any of this whole wedding thing. I want what is going to make you happy. So I'm going to ask Jose and Patrick."
"Have I already told you that you are perfect?" I ask him and he gives me a heartachingly shy smile. "No, I'm not Ana, but I'm trying to be the man that you deserve. Now let's get back into bed. I want to make love to you and then hold you in my arms all night."
And with that we leave the greatroom and do exactly what Christian said we would.
I wake when it's still dark outside. "Ana, it's your cellphone" I hear Christian's sleepy voice and reach over to the nightstand to grab my phone.
Oh you have got to be kidding me. It's 6 in the morning and Kate is calling. I think about letting the call go to voicemail, but then she might starts to call me every five minutes until I answer and so I take the call.
"Goodmorning Kate."
"Goodmorning, sorry that I'm calling so early but I have a busy day ahead of me and wanted to know all the details." Damn how the hell is it possible that she sounds so energetic this early in the morning.
"Kate please I was still sleeping let's talk this evening. We could meet for cocktails."
"Ok, just how was it, did you come? Did it hurt?" I'm just thinking about what to tell her when Christian takes the phone out of my hand.
"Kate, it's Christian... yes Ana is no longer a virgin. We fucked about three times, everything was perfect and the rest is none of your fucking business. Now be a good girl and give my brother some pussy, he likes to fuck in the morning. Goodbye." and with that he hangs up and hands me back my phone.
I gape at Christian. That was so rude. Oh my god Kate will be so mad. "Don't be mad baby, but your best friend is way too nosy and who the fuck calls you at this time of the day."
I sigh, well I can't argue with that but I so want him to like Kate. "Look Christian. I know Kate can be nosy and sometimes she really knows no boundries, but she has always the best intentions. I love her dearly. When we met I had promised myself to never trust anyone ever again, but she wouldn't give up. She just wouldn't leave me alone until I had no choice but spend time with her and with time we became as close as sisters."
He frowns. "What do you mean she wouldn't give up?"
"We met at the campus in our first week at WSU. I lived in a dorm before I moved in with her. It wasn't long after the accident and I was still on crutches and very unstable on my feet. So I was slowly making my way to the next class and my bag fell down. I couldn't pick it up and everyone just walked by. Suddenly Kate walked past me she nearly tripped over my bag and I thought she was going to yell at me, but instead she picked my bag up and the entire day she followed me around campus and helped me.
You have to understand I wasn't exactly nice at this point of my life, but she kept helping me everyday. One morning after two or three weeks I told her that I couldn't learn in my dorm because it was too loud. The next day she came to my room in the dorm with her brother and she basically moved me in with her.
It was much later when I discovered that around the same time I had my accident one of her best friends from highschool committed suicide. Ethan told me that Kate felt guilty for not realising what was going on in her friends life. I think that is why she wanted to help me so badly and that is why she is so protective of me. Can you try and be friendly with her, for me?"
"You know I find it very difficult to say no to you when you give me that puppy eye look. Ok, I'll try but I won't promise anything else, your best friend is a pain in the ass."
"Oh she would say the same about you. I guess you two are more a like then both of you would ever admit."
"Baby, I'm nothing like her but I will try and be nice. Besides I wasn't that rude and I helped my bro getting laid, that should count for something." he smirks and I can't help but laugh.
"Are you ok with me meeting Kate tonight?"
"Can she come here?" he asks hopeful and I sigh. Compromise Ana!
"I really want to go to a nice bar and have some cocktails with Kate. How about we make a deal?"
"What kind of deal?"
"You call Elliot if he wants to have drinks with you tonight. We go to the same bar but sit at different tables. This way I can have a girls night out with Kate and you don't have to worry, because you can watch me from a different table."
"You will drive to the bar and back with me?"
"Yes" I give him my best smile and he laughs. "Ok, deal. Fuck I have a feeling you can talk me into anything."
"Thats because I'm a good negotiator."
"That you are Miss Steele. You should come and work for me."
I snort. "And you think we would get any work done if I would work for you?"
"Maybe not" he says seductivly and starts to nibble my earlobe. "But I could make a fantasy of mine come true."
"And what would that be" I murmur.
"You, naked, lying on my desk wet and ready for me. I want to eat your perfect little pussy until you beg me to stop and then I want to fuck you right on my desk before I would take you anywear in my office until neither of us is able to walk." Wow that sounds hot.
"I could always visit you at your office you know" I mutter breathless and he smirks against my neck. "I'll be waiting for it, maybe I should give you a taste of what I would do right now."
Christian's POV
Fuck, she really said yes. Even after now nearly 24 hours I still can't believe. I'm going to spend the rest of my life with Ana. All I have to do now is not fucking it up. Damn it I'm screwed! No, I can't think like that. I can make her happy, I have to. Otherwise I know my life is going to be hell.
To be fair keeping Ana happy is an easy task. She never ask for anything, well other then me being nice to her damned best friend. I can deal with her gay friends and her brother is a nice boy, but Kate Kavanagh. Fuck that woman pisses me of just thinking of her.
It's those looks she is giving me all the time, like she was getting ready to rip my balls off or kill me if I fuck things up with Ana. Little does she know that I would most likely kill myself if Ana would ever leave me because I fucked things up.
But for Ana I will try and be polite with Kate. I have to anyway as Elliot seems to be very serious about her. So there's a chance that she will end up being my sister in law and I can't treat her like shit if she is family. My Mom would never let me get away with my usual behavior towards women if I act like that towards a family member. So tonight I will be polite.
Once I'm home I look for Ana and find her in the bedroom getting ready. I try to stop myself but I can't help it. "What the fuck are you wearing?" I hiss when I see her dressed in a scrap of deep red satin that is open in the back and shows off way to much of her perfect tits in the front. The fucking thing is so short that is barely reaches the mids of her thighs. There is no way in hell she is going out like that.
"Don't you like the dress?" She looks at me innocently and I roll my eyes. "Baby, you look damn hot in that dress, but I don't want anyone else to see you like this."
"Why not, I never felt comfortable enough to wear a dress like that, but with you I do. Please, Christian. You will be there too and you know I don't want anyone else. I just want to be sexy for you. Please?" Damn it she is giving me that look again and I know I will curse myself for my answer.
"Fine, wear it if you want to, but Ana if I have to see you dressed like this all night you better not plan on getting much sleep tonight." Shit, I want to fuck her right now, but there is no time.
"Thanks" She hugs me, gives me a quick kiss and leaves the bedroom with her high heels in her hands. Damn it this is going to be one long fucking evening before I can get her home.
Once we had dinner we leave to meet Elliot and Kate at the Zig Zag Cafe, but I frown when Ana is still holding her shoes in her hands when we enter the elevator with Taylor.
"Don't you want to put your shoes on Ana?"
"No, when we arrive at the bar I will put them on. I still don't have enough balance to really walk in them so I figured I just put them on before we enter the bar and put them off as soon as we leave."
"Why didn't you chose flats?"
"Because they don't match the dress, so I chose one of my sitting shoes" What, did she just say sitting shoes?
"What shoes?"
She rolls her eyes and I glare at her. I really don't like her doing that."Those shoes are really high. Even if my knee were fine I wouldn't wear those shoes on a day were I had to walk a lot. They are for occasions were I want to look sexy but know that I will sit almost the entire time, hence these are sitting shoes." Ok that's weird. I look up at Taylor but he has the same confused look that I'm probably wearing right now.
Shoes just for sitting, what the fuck? I guess I'm going to learn a lot of new things in the future as I have never really listened to any of the girly shit Mia was telling me.
"Will you tell Elliot that we are engaged?"
"Yes, why do you want to wait?"
"No, I really want to tell Kate I was just thinking if you wanted to wait until tomorrow after we told your parents then I would need to put my ring off for tonight."
"I'm going to tell Elliot tonight so leave it on. After all it says fuck off this girl is taken." I smirk at her and smile when she looks lovingly at her ring. Yes it was the right choice. At first I wanted the biggest rock I could find for her ring, but in the end I knew that wasn't what Ana would want, so I chose this one which is still big enough for any fucker to see, but not so big that Ana wouldn't like to wear it everyday.
When we are in the backseat of the car and Taylor starts to drive I look at Ana. Fuck she is beautiful, sometimes I feel like she has no idea how gorgeous she really is. I think back to my meeting with Welch. I had him do a check on Ana's sister and that fucker Ana was with as a teenager.
Turns out the fucker has dropped out of college and is now working at a burger joint in New York. He is not in contact with her sister anymore and lives the shitty life he deserves to have for hurting Ana. Her sister on the other hand seems to be a bright girl. She is studying to be an interior designer and has good grades, she isn't dating right now and lives near the campus in an apartment her parents are paying for her.
I still have a bad feeling about her. Something about her is telling me that she is trouble. That damned little slut was eyefucking me as soon as she saw me the day Ana got kidnapped. Who does that? The own sister goes missing and all you do is eyefucking some guy you just met?
Besides that girl has nothing on Ana. She might be good looking, but she is not nearly as beautiful as Ana. Elliot even said that the guy who cheated on Ana must have been blind to go for her sister when he could have had Ana. At this point I laughed about it but later I realised that Kate really told him all about Ana's past and that is another point why I don't like Kate.
It's none of her fucking business to tell anyone Ana's story. I thought about telling Ana but decided against it. Because even though I can't stand Kate she really seems to care about Ana and Ana has not many friends so I decided to keep my mouth shut, though if Kate turns out to be using Ana I will change my mind about that.
"We are here!" Ana's excited voice brings me back to the now and I get out of the car before helping her out. I wrap my arm around her and we approach Kate and Elliot who are waiting for us near the entrance of the bar.
"Ana!" Damn even hearing Kate's voice pisses me off, so I let go of Ana once Kate pulls her to her and hugs Ana tightly.
"Hey bro rea..."
"OH MY GOD! Is that what if think it is?" Kate screams holding Ana's left hand in her hands and gapes at Ana's ring.
Ana blushes head to toe."Yes it is, can we talk inside I can't stand for long in this shoes." and with that Kate drags Ana inside leaving me standing there with Elliot.
"Fuck bro, you popped the question?"
"She said yes" I reply proudly and Elliot pulls me into a hug. "Way to go bro. Damn do Mom and Dad know?"
"No, come on let's get inside and get a drink." We enter the bar and I manage to get a table for us close to Ana and Kate's. The girls are whispering and giggling making me smirk while I order a beer.
"So, have you made plans already?"
"Yes, we are going to marry next month. Elliot I want you as my best man."
"Really, wow. You can count on me bro. Fuck my life I never thought I would see you getting married and so quick. Shit, wait, Ana isn't pregnant or is she?" Elliot's alarmed look makes me want to laugh.
"Relax Elliot, we had sex for the first time yesterday so even if she is pregnant this is not why we want to marry so soon."
"Whoa, don't tell me you are planning a family already Christian. I mean there is no need to rush."
"Ana is on birthcontroll. Fuck bro, do you think I'm ready to be a father? I mean if Ana wants to have kids we can have a son or two later on but not now."
Elliot laughs. "And how are you going to make sure it's a boy if Ana get's pregnant?" Damn he is right.
"Fuck, she can't have a girl. I mean can you imagine me with a daughter?"
"Come on bro let's change the subject I can see the sweat building on your forehead already."
As the evening goes on I get more and more mad. Every damned fucker in that bar is staring at Ana. When I see her get up I can't help it any longer. "Bro, I need to take a piss" I leave the table and follow Ana who enters the restrooms. I look around and see a waiter who is coming up my way.
I approach him and ask him to follow me until we are in front of the restrooms. "Listen, my girlfriend is in there. Will 1000 bucks be enough for you to stay here for about 10 to 15 minutes and make sure no one comes into the ladiesrooms.
"Umm... I..." I hold my hand up to. "How about 2000 bucks cash" I get my money clip out of the insidepocket of my jacket and his eyes widen. "Take your time Sir, no one will interrupt you." I give the little fucker a tight nod and get into the ladiesroom.
Ana is washing her hands at the sink and gasps when she sees me. "Christian, what are you doing in here?"
"You. Are. Mine!" I growl grab her press and her against the wall. I kiss her with brutal passion rip her panties away now appreciating the fact that her dress is so short.
"Christian what are you doing what if some comes in?" Ana whispers breathless when we break free of our kiss.
"No one will come in, I made sure of it. Baby I need to fuck you now. All those dicks ogling you and you wearing that dress, I need to be inside you. Tell me that you want me!"
"You know I do. Are you sure no one will come in?" I grin, does she really think I would allow anyone to see her while I'm fucking her?
"Yes, no one will come in." I drop to my knees push her dress up and start to nibble and kiss down her belly until I reach my goal. I pull her hips forward and start to suck and lick her clit making her moan and grind her wet pussy into my face. Fuck she is ready for me within seconds. I can't wait my pants are about to explode.
I get up, free my cock and lift her onto my hips. "This is going to be hard and quick. Ready baby?"
"Yes please." she begs and if possible hearing her begging makes me even harder. I ram into her and still for a moment. Jesus Christ she is so fucking tight it's the most amazing feeling in the world. Her hands fist into my hair and I start to fuck her really hard.
Damn I want to mark her let any fucker out there to know that she is mine. I suck on her neck and already feel her tighten around me.
"Fuck Ana... I want to fuck you for the rest of my life" I growl into her ear and feel her body shiver. "Yes, that's right baby, don't hold back we have to be quick here."
"Ahhh...Christian...oh god...this is so good." Ana moans and I really pick up my pace.
Since Ana is a little screamer I kiss her to stiffle her cries and with that she reaches her climax, clenching around my dick so hard that I cum immidiatly and rub out my orgasm deep inside her.
Once we both recovered a little I put her back on her feet and grab some paper towels so I can clean first myself and then her.
"Are you ok baby?"
"Yes, though I might need your help to get back to the table, my legs feel like jello." she admits a little embarrassed, but that worries me.
"Was it to rough. Shit I should have thought about your legs." Damn I need to remind myself to go easy on her. I don't want to make her knee worse.
"Hey, I'm fine. It's just the shoes and what we did. I'm a little exhausted, nothing to worry." she says takes in look at the mirror and gasps.
"Christian! Oh my God look at this. How am I supposed to cover this hicky?" I smirk while watching Ana examening her neck. "Baby, I don't want you to cover it. If those fuckers out there don't see your ring they will see the hicky."
"Oh, Kate will see it and she will know what we did" Ana whines and I actually have to laugh watching her trying to cover it with the few strands of hair that are coming out of her updo.
"Ana, Kate is with my brother. Believe she is probably getting fucked 10 times a day in everyway possible."
"Eww, I don't want to hear about Kate and Elliot fucking. Don't put pictures in my head I really don't want to have." That gives me an idea. I lean forward and whisper into her ear. "Then think about this. Once we are home I'm going to undress you and kiss and suck every inch of your perfect, delicious body and then I want you on top of me. I want to feel your tight, wet pussy sliding up and down my cock..."
She turns around and covers my mouth with one hand. "If you don't stop saying things like that we will never leave this restroom. And believe me no matter what you did to make sure no one comes in here that won't stop Kate."
"Ok, but I mean it baby" I pick up her ripped panties put them into my pantspocket and leave the restroom with her. Outside I discretly pay the waiter and lead Ana back to her table. Once Kate sees Ana and notices the hicky her mouth pops open and I laugh and kiss Ana's temple. "Laters, baby" I murmur and saunter back to my table.
"Damn bro, you fucked her, right?" My only answer is a smug grin and with that we clink bottles and wait for our girls to finish their girls night. At least now with that hicky every bastard in here knows that Ana is not avaible and I know once we are home I will have her again. Damn I'm one lucky bastard!
Next chapter will be up wednesday or thursday. Oh and I started another story, it's called 'The Darkest Shade Of Grey' if you like dark stories then checked it out. As always your reviews are highly appreciated ;)
