Chapter 1 Sail Away
It is a tearful goodbye but everyone is happy for Christian and Ana. They will be seeing them now and then just like Ana said. They are family and belong together
They are on their jet and flying to Paris, France.
"Excuse me Ms. Ana and Mr. Christian, would y'all like to drink and a snack perhaps? Lunch will be served in three hours. We thought you both might like something to tide you over till then."
"Yes thank you Amy, two coffees and my cinnamon rolls please. I hope you and the crew have eaten some of them? I made plenty for everyone."
"Oh Ms. Ana, you know we can't pass up your cinnamon rolls."
They all laugh happily
"Just making sure."
"I will bring your coffee and cinnamon rolls out shortly."
"Thank you Amy."
Amy walks off and stops and ask the rest of their company if they would like anything
They all go for cinnamon rolls and coffee
After the snacks they all just sit there thinking about this trip they are going on
"Jason, I can't believe I am going to all these amazing places that Ana and Christian have planned for all of us. I am surprised she asked me to come along. I am so grateful she did though."
"Yes Gail, I know. This is one in a lifetime we get to do some sight seeing and not have to worry about meetings and when we are going to get the hell out of that place and go home.
The boys won't know how to act. They are always ready for anything and never have time to enjoy any of the places Christian has to go."
"Well Jason all that changes on this wonderful trip we are all taking."
"Yes Ana I know and I sure hope all goes well."
"Jason we have plenty of security and you and Dav have already gotten everything taken care of with extra security for all the places we are going. Please relax and enjoy your time with Gail and us."
"Of course everything is taken care of Christian. All the I's dotted and the T's crossed we have left nothing to chance. We don't expect anything to go wrong but we will all be on the lookout.
I have my Marine buddy and a few guys that will meet us at the airport in France and take us to the hotel we will be staying at."
"Good now, enjoy the flight and rest."
They have supper and decide to rest in their bedroom for the duration of the flight
"We are going to take a nap. We still have about four hours before we land. Don't forget the seats make out into beds and we have extra beds from the table and couches."
"Yes ma'am we got it. Sleep well, goodnight for now. We will wake you in plenty of time to get your bearings before we land."
"Thank you Dav."
Ana pulls Christian by the hand to the bedroom opens the door and shuts and locks it
"Kiss me my love, it has been a while and I need those lips and tongue to devour me."
"I will kiss you anytime. Come here love?"
Ana swings around and jumps into his arms and devours his lips and thrusts her tongue in his mouth
Christian slowly walks to the bed and lays her down and proceeds to kiss her . Their tongues battling, their hands running over each others body, their kissing getting more demanding and hot
Christian pulls away first he is gasping for air
"Damn woman what you do to me. I love you so much."
"The feeling is mutual and I love you so very much."
'God Ana I want you so much but we are going to wait. I don't want your first time to be on a jet. I do hope we get a chance to join the mile high club don't you?'
"You have never?"
That is all she has time to say. Christian starts kissing her again
"No love I have never and never wanted to until now. Besides there was no one that I ever wanted to fly with me but family."
"Oh so this will be a first for both of us?"
"Oh yes my love it will be."
"Let's get comfortable? You have on to many clothes."
"Well my gorgeous girl, so do you."
They help each other undress down to their undies and climb under the cover and talk for a while then sleep takes them
There is a knock on the door
"Ana, Christian, we are landing in forty five minutes."
"Thank you Dav. We will be out in a few minutes."
They are dressed but it takes more than a few minutes cause Christian can't seem to be able to keep his hands to himself
"Boo, stop, we will never make it to our seats."
"If I must but you are so damn beautiful I just can't resist you."
"Yes I know and you are too but come we have plenty of time for this later."
They walk back up front and see that have two cups of coffee waiting on them
"Thank you for the coffee. Did everyone get some rest?"
They all speak up and say yes
"This is your Captain speaking. I hope y'all had a wonderful flight and got some rest. We will be arriving at Charle de Gaulle Airport in approximately twenty minutes. It is a lovely night with the temp in the mid seventies.
I hope you all enjoy your stay in France and see a lot of sights."
First stop -Paris, France
Their jet arrives at Charles de Gaulle Airport and they have their cars waiting on them to take them to the hotel. They are chauffeured to the hotel in a nineteen sixties vintage car just like a true Parisian.
They will be staying at Hotel Lorette in the penthouse and the everyone else will be on the same floor but they will have their privacy
"Oh my goodness Christian, this is gorgeous my love. It's like we can reach out and touch the Eiffel Tower."
"Yes my angel it is but as gorgeous as you. You outshine all the sights here in Paris and you have a smile that will light up the night sky."
"We will be going to Place du Trocadero. The guide said it was an elevated, open space that had a spectacular view of Paris's most iconic landmark."
"Oh Boo I love you so very much. You always know just what to say."
She turns around and kisses him softly on his lips. Christian takes it a step further and gently bites her bottom lip and licks it with his tongue. Ana opens her mouth and Christian's tongue dives in and they slide their tongues back and forth playfully until they are both fighting for breaths
"Oh love enough of that for now. We need to get changed so we can meet Jason and Gail for breakfast."
"If we must, but we will continue this later angel?"
"Yes my love we will."
"How did I get so damn lucky to have you in my life again?"
Christian has tears in his eyes
Oh my darling, we are both lucky. We are meant to be together forever and we will be. Please don't cry, you will have me crying and I don't like crying. Let's be happy, come on love. We are in Paris, the city of love."
"Yes you are right so right and I love you with every breath I take."
He kisses her once more and then on the tip of her nose
"Come on, let's go. We have a lot to see today."
Christian calls Jason
"Jason, we are ready to go down for breakfast. Is everyone coming?"
"Yes sir and we will meet you at your door."
"Come on love, they are waiting on us."
"Just give me a minute I have to put on my shoes."
"You look lovely in that blue sundress."
"Thank you love you look quite handsome if I do say so."
"Good morning everyone. I hope you all got some sleep. I for one tried but I am too excited to start this wonderful journey with Christian and all of you."
"Yes Ana we did. It is so lovely here and my goodness the beds are so comfortable I didn't want to get up. I am sure I am speaking for everyone here."
They all agree and nods their heads
"Good then let's go eat breakfast shall we?"
"Yes ma'am we shall."
They all walk to the elevator and get on and it carries them down to the dining room
"Oh Ana this is lovely."
"Yes Gail it sure is."
They are all seated and have a scrumptious meal and now it is time for the tour
"Dav, how are we traveling today?"
"We are riding in style again in a chauffeured vintage car. There will be two cars. Ana I have taken the liberty to have one of my very good friends Jacqueline Dupree to be with us to help for the tour today. She will also be with you if you and Gail need the ladies room.
Jacqueline has been security and a tour guide for a lot of well known people. I trust her with your life. She has been a security guard for fifteen years."
"Very well thank you Dav. I trust you without a doubt."
"Thank you Ana, Ray knows her and her family very well when he has traveled over here."
"So she is a Marine Brat?"
"Yes she is. Ray and her father served together."
"Wow ok thank you."
They all look up when they hear the door open and see a woman dressed in a pantsuit and looking very professional. Mid thirties with short red hair
"Here she comes now. Jacqueline Dupree, so nice to see you. Thank you for doing this for me."
"My pleasure Bradley, it is good to see you as well."
"Please let me introduce you to my family. I will give you their names as they are standing beside each other. Make it easier on you."
"This young lady beside me is Anastasia Steele, her boyfriend Christian Grey. Next to him is his chief CPO Jason Taylor and his lovely lady Gail Jones. Next is Luke Sawyer; he is also Christian's CPO. Next is Ana's security guys. Nick, James, Rick and Paul."
"Wow, very nice to meet you all. It is a pleasure to meet you Ms. Steele and Mr. Grey. I have heard wonderful things about you both and I am looking forward to showing you my beautiful city."
"Very nice to meet you as well."
"So what would you all like to see first?"
"The Eiffel Tower please. I can see it from our room but I want to get closer."
Then Pont Des Arts or the Love Lock Bridge. I have a lock to put on it."
She smiles at Christian and he smiles back
"Very good anywhere else? Where would you all like to eat today during our tour?"
"I want to see the Opera Garnier and I have seen pictures where you all have these quaint little authentic cafes where you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air."
"Those are lovely places."
"Can we go to the River Bank? I know it has the Arc De Triomphe and Montmartre."
"Absolutely we can."
"I would like to see some museums if we have enough time today? If not, tomorrow is fine."
"Mr. Grey, I believe we will have time. I don't want to rush your time here."
"Very good now let us be going shall we Ana my love?"
"Yes Boo we shall."
They arrive at the Love Lock Bridge and get out of the car and walk over to the bridge and there are quite a lot of people standing around some looking and some placing locks
"Here love, put it on the bridge and lock it then throw the key away."
Ana gives the lock and key to Christian and he looks at and sees that it has their name and the date on it with a heart drawn around it, He smiles at her
"Where do you want it?"
"Just find a spot for it my love. Anywhere is fine."
Ana kisses the lock and kisses Christian he places the lock and seals it with the key and throws the key in the river below them
They continue their tour of the River Bank then they stop for a quick lunch at one of the cafes and have some of the best pizza they have ever eaten. They have a glass of wine and relax
After lunch they walk through the beautiful Jardin des Tuileries and then over to the Musee d'Orsay. Once a major train station now the distinctive building is a museum that features works by impressionist and Post-impressionist artists
They walk through the cobbled streets of Saint-Germain-de-Pres in Paris's sixth arrondissement. They visit some pastry shops, try some chocolates and taste some delicacies.
"Well how are you all liking our city so far?"
'It is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much Jacqueline for showing us around. I think we will have dinner and then we would like to see a few more sights this evening. Is that alright with you? Or do you have another tour scheduled?"
"No ma'am I will only be your tour guide while you are here."
"Well thank you. I think we will retire to our rooms and would you like to have dinner with us. Would you recommend a restaurant for us?"
"I would be delighted to share a meal with you all. Yes I can recommend a very lovely one. They have everything you would like and then some. Shall we meet downstairs at say seven o'clock?"
"That is perfect thank you. Do we need to make reservations or will you?"
"I will take care of it all. I will see you all at seven o'clock?
Oh Mr. Grey, we will have time after dinner for you to see some museums also."
"Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing them."
They all go back to their to rest after their tour today
"Christian that was a lovely tour today. I especially loved the Love Lock Bridge, didn't you?"
"Yes my angel I sure did."
"Come take a nap with me for a few hours and we will shower and meet everyone for dinner."
"Now you're talking about my language love."
"Yes I figured I was. Come on."
They both take their clothes off and get into bed kiss a few times and hold each other and sleep for a while
Ana feels something on her face and she swats it away. Only to feel it again and she can feel Christian laying beside her laughing
She swats at the offending thing again and again
"Christian Grey if you don't get whatever you have in your hand out of my face I am going to tickle you until you pee your boxers."
He continues to do it. He found a feather somewhere and he is running it across her face
"I warned you now it's payback time."
Ana jumps on him and starts tickling him so much that they both are laughing so hard that they might pee their underwear
"Please love, please Ana come on enough I give. I love you, please stop."
Ana stops and the next thing she knows she is underneath Christian and he is ticking her and he still has the feather
"Ok enough, I give uncle, uncle , she says pleading with him to let her go, please stop, we have to get up soon."
"One kiss my love and I will let you up."
"One kiss is that all I am worth to you is one kiss to bargain with?"
"Oh my precious angel you are worth so much more than just a kiss. You are worth ten thousand kisses and roses."
Ana reaches up and pulls his mouth down to hers and literally sucks the life out of him as he is trying to breathe from all the kisses she is giving him. One kiss and she is devouring him again and again
"Oh my god woman what am I going to do with you? You are going to be the death of me just kissing you."
"Oh no my love death is a long way off for us. Never say those words again."
"Yes Ana you are right. Now who is going to shower first?"
"I want you to join me but I think we will wait a little longer."
"Ana love that is fine. I understand and there is no rush."
"Thank you."
Ana gives him a kiss and walks to the ensuite
Damn that woman is going to drive me insane with her sweet and deadly kisses and that body. Have mercy.
Everyone is dressed to nines tonight as they are going to the legendary Jules Verne Restaurant located on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. Then as a surprise to them all they will be taken to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Later they will tour some museums
They all arrive at the restaurant and are seated immediately and the hostess takes their order for wine and Entrees
Their waiter brings out the wine and the Entrees
They are having Home-made Terrine Pickles and Haddock Tartar with citrus sauce
For their meals they are having
Ana is having the Rump Steak gently grilled with mushrooms and The Crying Tiger salad
Christian is having the Striped Bass Ceviche, Quince compote and The Crying Tiger salad
Taylor and Gail are having the same as Ana
All the security decided on Sauteed pasta with boeuf and seasonal vegetables no salads
For dessert they all have Roasted Pineapple with grated coconut and vanilla mascarpone
"Oh my goodness, that was Absolutely delicious. Thank you for recommending this lovely place Jacqueline."
"You are quite welcome and I am so glad you all enjoyed it."
"Would you all care for coffee or anything else?"
"No thank you, everything was delicious. We are ready to retire to our rooms and rest. The check please Mandy?"
"Here you go Ms."
Dav takes it and puts his card in the folder
"I have this now you just sit there and say thank you. Besides we have a wonderful discount and you are more than welcome to leave the tip. Which I know you both will do."
"Of course we will and thank you."
Mandy comes back with Dav's card and Ana calls her over to them and gives her five hundred one hundred dollar bills.
"Oh my lord, thank you all so much. You are very kind."
"You are very welcome and we enjoyed the food and your service, young lady."
They all walk out of the restaurant and head over to the cars. Jacqueline stops them and says she has a surprise for them. She walks over to Ana and takes her hand for a moment
"Ms. Ana I would like to take you all up to the top of this amazing Eiffel Tower if you would like to tour it?"
"Oh my lord, yes I want to go to the top. Thank you so much. Come on y'all let's go. Christian my love we are going to the top of the Eiffel Tower how about that?"
"Yes my love I can't wait to see everything from up there."
"We are going up to the second floor and take the elevator straight up to the top or the summit. There you can observe landmarks like the Seine River, Louvre Museum, Charles Elysees and plenty more sights from up there."
"Oh my goodness I can't wait. Isn't this exciting Gail?"
"Lordy yes it is Ana. Thank you for inviting me along with you all.'
"My pleasure Gail."
They get to the top and look all around and see all kinds of landmarks as Jacqueline explained to them on the way up
"Oh god Christian I have died and gone to heaven this is absolutely fabulous isn't it my love?"
"Yes my angel it is more than I ever imagined it would be."
They stayed up top so everyone could look around and see everything.
"Did you all know that from the second floor there are sixteen hundred and sixty five steps if you wanted to walk up to the top?"
"Lordy a mercy no I didn't and who would want to walk up that many steps?"
"Some people do. They would rather walk than take the easy way up. Go figure."
They make it back down and walk over to their cars to get in and the first stop will be the Louvre Museum. Points of interest and Landmarks Architectural Buildings
"Wow Elliot will love this we have to bring him next time or let him come here. He will love this."
"Yes Boo he would very much."
They all look around at all the different architects and some of the buildings. They are amazed at how gorgeous they are
"Now let me show you Petit Palais. It is an Arts Museum, Mr. Grey. This is probably your style."
"Yes ma'am it is but I liked the Louvre Museum also."
They all get back in the cars and head on over to the Petit Palais
"Oh wow Christian this place is beautiful and yes it is more your style."
"Yes it is. I love art like this. It is so amazing how someone can think this up and then bring it to life. Well not to life but to show something like this that they have made is brilliant."
'Yes it is love."
"Thank you so much for everything today. I think we are ready to go back to our hotel now. We will see you in the morning for another tour?"
"Yes Mr. Grey I'll see you all in the morning. Will ten o'clock be good?"
"Yes ma'am that will be fine. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your night."
"Guys, we are going to our room. You are welcome to stay out if you would like to. I know we have security here with us. We will see y'all in the morning. We are having room service for breakfast."
"Alright Ana but I think everyone is ready to call it a night. We will see y'all in the morning. Goodnight all."
They all walk in the elevator and go up to their rooms
Ana and Christian walk to their room and Christian opens the door for them. As soon as they are in their room and the door is shut Ana slams Christian into the wall. She kisses him like he is the air she needs to breathe.
She pulls away panting and breathing hard. She gives him little kisses down his neck as she undoes his tie and unbuttons his shirt. He slipped his coat off and Ana doesn't remember him taking it off.
She gets his shirt off and licks his chest, kissing the little round scars that are a reminder of his childhood. She moves over and licks his nipple and she hears him moan softly.
"Ana my love you are going to have to stop that. I can't take much more of it. This is something new to me. You know no one has ever touched my chest like this but you."
Ana is still lightly kissing his chest and looks up at him with lust in her eyes but she does have to stop for now. They have to talk and now is as good a time as any.
"My love, we need to stop and talk. There are some things I need to talk to you about. I just hope you will listen to me without thinking that I was keeping anything from you on purpose. I love you with all my heart and soul and always have. Even when we were younger you had my heart."
"I promise I will listen with my heart. Ray and grandpa had a talk with me and I promised them I would listen to you and not blow up. I have no reason to. I love you with all my heart and soul too. Yes I loved you when we were younger and I think I did when we were little before you moved away.
As gran said we are meant to be together. We are soulmates. So whatever you have to say I will listen and not get upset."
Ana takes a few deep breaths and walks to the fridge and grabs two bottles of water.
"We can have wine later. We need clear heads for this very important talk. I am sure grandpa told you he was mine and daddy's attorney just like he is yours."
"Yes he did."
"Well grandpa has been our attorney from the time I was ten years old. At one time I was going to ask Carrick about being my attorney for my business but I thank god a million times I didn't."
"Yes I agree with you. I am glad neither of us did."
"Ok now did daddy and grandpa mention anything about a will?"
"Yes they did but they both said that they would have to be present when we talked about them. With them saying them I am thinking there is more than one right?"
"Yes love you are right. I have more than one. Matter of fact daddy and I three. My grandfather and two uncles. They were all in the plane crash together and daddy and I are the only family left. Enough about that for now."
She takes another deep breath and sits down beside him
"My love as I said there are some things I need to tell you. I would have told you sooner but grandpa had stipulations in one part of my will. It didn't matter how old I was, all he wanted was for a man to love his granddaughter with everything he has and never forsake her. Always love her for herself, not what she brings with her into a marriage whenever that will happen
Now my darling Boo this is going to shock you. It shocked me when I first heard when I was ten years old and it still does to this day. Did daddy or grandpa tell you that my family were oil barons for centuries?"
Christian just looks at her shakes his head
"No angel, they did not tell me any of that."
"Ok well they were and daddy and I are now. Well we have been since they passed away.
You see, my love the oil Industry has been in my family. I believe it started with my great, great, great, great grandfather. He struck oil in his backyard in Oklahoma and became a billionaire in a matter of days. From my understanding when he was drilling for oil they not only hit one spot but a dozen or more."
She stops so he can comprehend what she has said. She takes a another breath and finishes her water
"Are you still with me love?"
"Um yeah I am listening. Please continue, this is very interesting."
"Well after that one of the brother's decided to move to Texas and see if they struck oil there. One of them heard that oil was everywhere out in the panhandle of Texas, Oklahoma. You name it wherever they were they were so damn lucky they struck oil.
They started oil refineries in all the states they struck oil in. They had back then their own oil company. It was huge and they sold oil to others.
I do not know the right number of oil wells and refineries I have at the moment but we can ask daddy and grandpa they know of all that.
I have five houses all over the country, three of them are in Texas and they are mansions. I have three jets besides my own. I have a huge car collection at my grandfather's home in Texas."
She sits back down beside him and looks at him waiting for him to say something, anything
"My love, are you telling me you are filthy rich?"
"That is what you want to ask me? Not why didn't I tell you sooner?"
"Love, my lovely angel. You could have waited to tell me this. I am not worried about how much money or oil wells or refineries that you have. I love you and as your grandfather said I love you for you. Not for what you have my angel. Now if you want to share with me more I am here to listen to you."
"God I love you so much, so very much never doubt my love for you. Do you understand why I couldn't tell you earlier?"
"Yes love I do and it is not a problem. There are some that would be mad because you didn't tell them up front after you had been together but I am not like that. I am glad you waited to tell me. That way you know I love you for you.
Yes I knew you had money from the government jobs and wow your companies are making billions hand over fist. Just like my companies were at one time. I am so damn proud of you my love."
"Thank you Christian I was so worried about telling you. Daddy and grandpa said you would be alright with it. Now I am going to tell you what else I own but this is with my own money nothing from the wills."
"Ok if you want to."
"I own a huge hotel in Miami and added a casino to it a few years ago. I have a home in NewYork State and a penthouse in New York City. You know I have two condos in Myrtle Beach. You know I own the apartments in Charleston and finally I own a restaurant in Los Angeles, California. That is all except my plants that I have in Atlanta, Charleston, China and the one I am building in Hawaii.
Now as of two years ago I am worth…she stops and looks at him…please don't pass out on me and don't have a heart attack. The money is in banks, bonds, stocks and hell I don't know what else but grandpa can tell us."
"Ok love calm down and breathe deep breaths come on."
"Christian I am worth a hundred trillion dollars. I am a trillionaire. There it is. I am done. I have told you everything. Please breathe love and talk to me."
Breathe love, breathe come on Christian. There you go, that's better. Say something, are you alright with what I have?"
"Ana my angel I am fine with what you have you have nothing to worry about. Now we can make our plans and never have to worry about anything. We can help our families and start up our charities and anything else we want to do. With what I have and you have we can do anything. I love you angel. I will be right back. Don't move."
Christian walks away with a smile on his face. Why was she so worried? I love that woman with my heart, body and soul. There will never be another for me.
Christian gets up and grabs his phone and calls Taylor
"Jason please meet me at my door with my box?"
"I will be right there."
There is a knock on the door
"Here you go Christian."
"Thank you Jason. It is time I love that woman with everything in me."
He opens the box and looks at the ring
"I must say that is a gorgeous ring and it is perfect for Ana."
"Yes, it is. Gran gave it to me for her. I will see you in the morning. Goodnight Jason."
"Goodnight Christian."
Christian closes the door and looks at his angel. She hasn't moved at all. She is looking at him
"I think we need a glass of wine, don't you love?"
"Yes after all that wine sounds really good."
She smiles at him and gets up
"I'll get us a couple glasses and the wine. Be right back."
"Alright love I will be right here waiting for you."
As she walks away Christian waits till the right moment and walks over to her just before she turns around and gets on one knee
Ana turns around and has to set the wine bottle and glasses down before she drops them
Christian is on one knee looking up at the love of his life and smiling with tears in eyes
Ana has one hand over her mouth and she is crying
"Anastasia Rose Steele I love you with my heart, body and soul. I think I have loved you forever. We are meant to be together, we are soulmates. Our souls knew each other before we were born. We just had to get together and that love blossomed into the love we have now.
I will always love you, cherish you, care for you, take care of you. I will never leave you or stray from you. You have my undying love from now until eternity and beyond. What I am trying to say my angel is I am yours forever more.
My life is meaningless without you in it. I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up with you in the morning. You have completed my life. I am whole with you here with me. I want to have many babies with you. I want to grow old with you. I want to sit on our back porch and watch our grandchildren play.
Ana my love, will you do me the honor of marrying me my angel?"
He has tears falling down his face but he never wipes them away. He blinks so he can see her
Ana has tears falling but neither care
"Yes, a million times yes I will marry you my love."
Christian whoops actually whoops and swings her around and around.
"My darling love, my angel, I have something for you."
Christian opens the small box and shows her the ring. He takes it out of the box and places it on her ring finger and kisses it
"Oh my, oh mercy this is the most gorgeous ring I have ever seen. Thank you my love. I will wear it with love and pride forever. I love you so much."
"Gran gave me this ring after we got back from our walk when I went to talk to Ray. I asked him for your hand and his blessing.
Gran had this waiting for me. She said no one but you would ever wear it. It belonged to her grandmother. It matches the color of your eyes. It is perfect for you."
"Oh my lord, I have to thank that sweet lady. Oh god Christian we are getting married."
"Yes my angel we are. Do you want a fairy tale wedding with all the glamor or something small and intimate? Whatever you want, love we will have."
"I want you to share this experience with me all except the dress. You can't see that until I walk down the aisle."
"Yes my love we will share this together. If you want me there for the cake testing, the flowers and the whole nine yards I will be by your side every step of the way. No matter what it is I will be there with you because this is for the both of us. This is our life and we are preparing for the future. I don't want to miss a thing."
"I could not love you more than I love you right now. Well I could and I do but I love that you want to be a part of all of the wedding planning."
"I want it all with you."
Ana looks up at him and pulls him down to her lips and kisses him with little butterfly kisses and licks his lip and he opens his mouth and their tongues touch and it is the sweetest kiss they have ever shared. Nothing hard or rough just sweet kisses
"Let's go to bed, I am tired. I am sure you are too?"
"Wait, we have to share our wine first then bed."
"Alright love one glass and then bed."
Ana gets the wine and pours it in one glass for them to share
They take it in the bedroom with them and drink it. Taking turns she holds it for him and he holds the glass for her. In-between little kisses they are sharing
"Ok love time for bed. Christian will you unzip me please?"
"Of course love it will be my pleasure. I must say this is a gorgeous dress and it is perfect for you."
"Thank you my love, our grandmothers picked this out for me before we left Miami. I didn't see it till tonight when I tried it on. I am going to have to thank them lovely ladies."
"Lordy Ana are you trying to kill me? Woman you have been wearing this all night under that gorgeous dress. Have mercy on my soul."
Ana giggles and smiles at him
"Just wait until our wedding night if you think this is something you love. You ain't seen nothing yet my love."
"I can hardly wait my angel. They're all done. Where is your night gown? I will get it for you."
"I just want your t-shirt please."
"Angel you should be in silks and satin. But whatever you want is fine with me. I want you to be comfortable."
Christian puts his t-shirt on her after she removes her bra
"Love you have a breathtaking body and I can't wait to love you like you deserve to be loved."
"I can't either my darling love. Now you have on to many clothes. Let's get these pants off and get in bed so we can cuddle."
Ana helps him take his pants off as she rubs her hand down the front of his boxers she hears his intake of breath and smiles to herself saying soon my love soon
They do their nightly routine and get into bed and hold each other. Touching some and moaning a lot. They share a few heated kisses and then go to sleep.
Wow Ana told him a lot about her family's history and he didn't get mad or run out on her. He sat there and listened to every word she had to say.
He loves her for her not for what she has. That kind of love is special to have and they have it
He proposed to her and she said yes. She loved her ring and they talked about the wedding
