CHEERS
LORNA X
CHRISTIANS POV
I stroll into Grey House with one purpose: Operation destroy Elena Lincoln and Nathan Brown!
I have left Ana and Phoebe for a few hours so I can set the wheels in motion. When I left Ana's apartment she walked me to the door and gave me a passionate kiss and a slap on the ass! It stunned me a bit because not once in almost ten years have I ever had that send off! It made me smile though because it was so normal. She told me to have "A good day at the office dear" and then she stayed in her doorway waving Phoebes hand at me telling her to say "Bye bye to daddy".
Ever since I started GEH, most days I have put in at least 10 hours at the office and then I would work until 2 or 3 am, have a couple hours sleep and then get up an do the same thing over again but now I have Ana and Phoebe things are going to change big time.
I will be doing normal office hours, 9-5, I wont be working weekends and If I can swing it I will be working half days on Fridays. I have a fantastic team that can run things for me while I spend time with my girls, I don't want to miss a thing in Phoebes life. I want to be there when she wakes up and when she goes to sleep. I know that there will be some days where I will have to put in extra hours but I'm a billionaire, I don't need to work 24/7. I want to take my girls on vacation, I want to take them sailing and for flights in Charlie Tango. I want to take romantic/Dirty weekends away with Ana. I want a proper family life, but I need to start my take down of the pedo bitch and Nathan fucking Brown first.
I make my way into the conference room attached to my office and find my team already there. Ros, Barney, Welsh, Taylor, Sawyer and Andrea. I know its the weekend but I pay them all enough money to be here when I summon them. I take my seat at the head of the table and get straight to the point.
"Good morning. I'm going to get straight to the point, some of you know why I have called this meeting but for those of you who are not up to date, Andrea and Ros, I found out a few days ago I have a daughter, her name is Phoebe, she is 15 months old and she's, well she's perfect" I smile thinking of my little girl but when I look up I laugh because of the look on Andrea and Ros's face. They are both stunned.
"YOU have a CHILD? How did that happen?" Ros screeches but she has a huge smile on her face
"Well you see Ros when a man and a woman have sex sometimes it results in a baby" I smirk
"I know how it happens Christian, I'm just a little stunned. You have never showed an interest in anyone before...Well apart from that brunette hottie a few years ago who brought you that file for the...wait! its her isn't it?" She always has been too in tune with me for her own good
"Yes Ros it is the "Brunette Hottie" but I prefer you call my girlfriend by her name which is Anastasia"
"Well fuck me side ways this is a day for the history books, Christian Grey has a girlfriend and a baby, well congratulations boss, you will have to bring them around mine and Gwen's for a dinner party" I nod my head and then address Andrea
"Andrea I need for you to contact Miss Kelly, that realtor I used to buy Escala, Tell her I am looking for a house either on the Sound or in Bellevue, the bigger the better, I want a list emailed to me and I will confirm the ones I want to view, also any meetings I have booked in that are after 5pm I want rescheduled for earlier times, I will no longer be here after 5pm or on the weekends, Also tell HR that we are going to be promoting from within. Ros I have decided to take a step back from GEH, if you're up for it you will be acting CEO and instead of giving you a pay rise I will give you 5% of GEH, in my absence and for arguments sake you will be my official partner, you have full power over everything, I trust you and I know you will not steer GEH in the wrong way, of course overall desions are down to me but I only want to be informed of the bigger deals, meaning anything over 10 mil, anything less I don't want to know about" her jaw will have to be surgically removed from the desk. 5% may not sound like a lot but in the grand scheme of things with a company the size of GEH, within 2 years she will be a billionaire.
"I...I...OH MY GOD! ARE YOU FOR REAL?"
"Yep, get your ass down to legal and tell them to start the ball rolling" she stands up so fast im surprised she doesnt have a head rush. She runs over to me and just as I stand up she launches her self at me hugging me close, all her professionalism has flown out the window.
"Thank you Kid" she whispers and then gives me a kiss on the cheek before she turns and leaves. Ros worked at the first company I ever bought and when I introduced myself as her new boss and told her that I would need her help reorganizing the company she said "Well Kid, i'm all yours" and every now and then she calls me "Kid" even though she is only 3 years older than me.
"Andrea you can go as well, oh and take Monday off"
"Thank you Sir" she has always been a woman of few words which is why I like her so much. She leaves the office and closes the door behind her leaving me alone with my team.
"Gentlemen I emailed you today with my requests, basically I want every single bit of information on Elena Lincoln and Nathan Brown, I want info that can destroy them. I want to know where they go, what they do, who they do it with. I want financial information, do they own anything on the stock market? Do they have any offshore bank accounts? I want police reports if they have committed a crime. Taylor put undercover surveillance on both of them 24/7"
"I take it this is personal boss?" Welsh pipes up
"Very personal, they both hurt the woman I love and because of Elena fucking Lincoln I missed out on the first 15 months of my daughters life. If it were up to me I would go in all guns blazing but I know I can't...you all know of my lifestyle...well as of now I want to refer to it as my previous, lifestyle...what none of you know is that Elena Lincoln molested me from age 15. It's taken me this many years to understand that what we did..no what SHE did was wrong. I want to make sure that there are no other teenage boys that she has snared in her web and if there is, god willing there won't be, but if there is find them. And as for Nathan Brown...well let's just say before I put him behind bars for feeding an innocent 14 year old girl to a god damn fucking pedophile I want him in a windowless room with me, one on one"
I get a round of "Yes sirs" and "yes boss" from everyone while they are making notes
"Luke I want you as Ana's CPO I would like to have another person to be there just for Phoebe also and as you will be working with them pretty much 24/7 you can decide who and can pick anyone from the executive security team"
"Yes Sir and if I can have anyone it will be Drew Reynolds, he's a fucking beast and I served with him in Iraq. He's good people"
"Agreed. I was thinking Drew as well. Go down to security and tell him and have him file all the relevant paper work. Welsh get to work on digging for dirt on our two targets. Jason I need a word with you in private" Sawyer and Welsh leave the room and I focus on my most trusted employee
"Jace...I...well first of all I owe you an apology for they way I screamed at you the other day, you didn't deserve that and after speaking with Ana I realise I was in the wrong"
"Apology accepted, I would have screamed myself had the situation been reversed"
"Thank you...I know you always had a soft spot for Ana because of your connection to her father so I know you will always look out for her and protect her from everything. I know at some point I am going to fuck it up and if you see me doing something that could hurt Ana or make her leave me...just...don't let me fuck this up Jason" I've never needed relationship advice before but I don't want to mess this up with Ana
"So basically if your being an ass I have to tell you before you put your foot in it too much?" he smirks
"Yes asshole that's what I'm saying. I've never done this before and I know that at some point I will do or say something to make her walk and I would do anything for that never to happen...my heart couldn't take it" i whisper the last part but I know he hears me
"Ok I'll keep you on the right track but do you want my advice for what you should do tonight?"
"sure"
"Go back to Ana's with a big bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine, put your daughter to bed and sit with Ana on the couch and watch a movie and don't automatically think if you share her bed tonight that it will be sexual. Go at her pace. Woo her, date her, be the man that she deserves and the man that myself and Gail, know you are" he stands up and heads for the door but before he opens it he turns to me
"I know we tread a thin line between employment and friendship but just know that I've always got your back Christian. On both sides of the line" and with that he leaves me alone with a smile on my face. I think it's time to admit it. I have a friend.
On my way back to Ana's I stop at the florist and get her 2 dozen pink roses and then I go and get a bottle of Bollinger. On my way back to my car I spot the Build A Bear shop and I get Phoebe a big pink bear that has all the Disney princesses on the foot.
I quickly text Ana and tell her I will be at her place in 10 minutes. I debate for about half a second on getting a box of condoms but like Taylor said, I have to go at Ana's pace.
I park my Aston next to her Range Rover and make my way to her apartment. I knock when I get to door but I hear her shout that it's open so I push the door open and what I see waiting for me makes my eyes almost bolt out of the sockets.
The full apartment is illuminated by dozens of candles. Soft music is playing through the speakers and on the kitchen table is a bottle of wine and strawberries. But all of this is lost on me because my eyes are glued to the goddesses before me.
Ana is leaning against the wall in front of me wearing nothing but matching black lace bra and panties with matching thigh high stockings and to add to the over all effect she is wearing a black lace eye mask which really Makes her blue eyes pop.
"Good evening Mr Grey"
"Anastasia" that's all I can say. I'm speechless. She looks stunning. If I had any blood flowing to my brain I could tell her how good she looks all the blood has rushed straight to my dick.
She saunters over to me with a sway of her hips while I am still in her doorway just staring at her like a gormless idiot.
"I got flowers...I mean, these are for you" I hand her the flowers and she takes them and puts her nose in smelling the scent
"Thank you Christian, they are beautiful"
"Not nearly as beautiful as you Ana" she blushes at my complement
"Come in and get comfortable while I put these in water" she gets a vase and starts arranging her flowers while I shut the door and remove my jacket. I hope her being in the outfit she is in means that her pace is full steam ahead. Shit I don't have condoms! Stupid fucking idiot! The way I feel right now I will just tell Ana we will risk it because there is no way I will be able to keep my hands off her while she is looking the way she does. Besides, what's the worse that could happen? She gets pregnant and we have another perfect kid. Speaking of kids where is my daughter?
"Ana where is the baby?" she walks back over to me and hands me a glass of wine and she stands a foot in front of me. We haven't touched yet but you can feel the static coming off of us.
"She's spending the night with Ava at Kate and Elliott's...so we have all night to ourselves Mr Grey"
"And just what, pray tell, do you intend for us to do Miss Steele?"
"Oh I think you know Mr Grey... But just incase...here, I got you some presents"
"She hands me a brown paper bag and the first thing I pull out it a appointment card to get the Depo shot tomorrow at Dr Greens office and the second thing is a box of 24 condoms! Well praise be to god! YES!
I can't take it anymore. Knowing she wants me. Watching her in that outfit and the fact she's biting her lip makes me lunge at her. We both drop our glasses and spill the contents all over the floor but nether of us care. We crash our lips together in a fit of hands, legs and tongues.
"God I want you so much Anastasia" I breath into her mouth as I undo her bra and fling I across the room. I pick her up and she wraps her legs around me kissing me like there is no tomorrow.
"Then have me Christian...I'm all yours baby" I practically sprint to her bedroom because for what I have in mind the couch just won't do. As I'm walking she starts to undo my shirt but she fumbles a bit with the buttons so like a savage she rips the shirt open sending buttons scattering around the room and making my libido go into over drive. I place her down on the bed and then I throw my shirt from my back. I undo my belt and hold it in my hands smirking at her playfully
"Oh no Mr Grey...I'm in charge for now" she gets off the bed and pushes me back on it and then rips my socks off. She kneels above me and runs her hands from my ears down to my waist. When she gets to my pants she rubs and fondles me through the material making me moan
"Like that?"
"Oh god baby you have no idea" I sound lie a whiny teenager my voice is so high.
She undoes my fly and then in one swift move she flings off my pants and boxers leaving me naked while she is just in panties and hold ups. Like a sexy panther she crawls up the bed and leans over me to the bedside draw where she must have stashed some condoms. Before she can do anything I take her panties in my grip and rip them from her body, tossing the useless material on the floor.
"Still have your cave man tendencies I see" she giggle. She holds a condom wrapper to my mouth and I rip it with my teeth. So slow I think I will die she unrolls it down on my now raging dick.
"We have all night to reacquaint ourselves with each others body's but right now, I just need you Christian. I've missed you so much. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't think of you and I want to show you how much I love you." if I speak I think I will cry. Not because I'm sad but because I have wanted this, wanted her for so long I'm worried I will wake up any minute and find out it was all a dream.
I hold my hands out and she takes them and very slowly she lowers herself onto me making both of us moan.
"Oh my god Anastasia you feel so good...im home baby, im home" I sit up and wrap my arms around her back so we are nose to nose. We could not get any closer physically or emotionally than we are right now.
Our kiss is fast and, well wet! We are all tongues and teeth. I have my hands splayed across her back grinding her in to me and her hands are in my hair pulling me to her.
"I love you so much Anastasia, so fucking much...Ahhhh come for me baby, come with me" we both explode at the same time and I fall back with her in my chest. We are both soaked In sweat and my hair is sticking to my brow. She gently swipes it aside and looks down In to my eyes kissing my face all over.
"I love you Christian"
"I love you too baby, and I'm never letting you go again, ever...move in with me Ana, please. I want you and Phoebe to live with me and for us to be a proper family. I know we have a hard road ahead of us but I know we can make it baby, as long as we stick together we will make it, so please move in with me" she grins down at me and then kisses me on the mouth hard
"Yes we will move in with you, but on one condition"
"Anything just name it?"
"I want this..us like this...every single night"
"Oh trust me baby that can be arranged" I flip her over so I am above her
"Round two Miss Steele?"
"Yes Mr Grey...but go grab your tie first"
