Oh my goodness fanfiction is working! Yeah that is awesome. I can finally see all my reviews.
Thank you for the wonderful reviews and for staying with me. I am not perfect, never said I was and yes I make mistakes like everyone else does. I think I have come a long way since I first started this story. Wow 44 chapters. I said I would finish it and I did.
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving..
Now here we are with the sequel "Sail Away" . I am glad you all are still with me. I don't have a clue how many chapters it will be. I am just writing them and doing my best at proofing them and posting them.
I went back and looked at some of my first chapters and I had to laugh cause some words were spelt wrong and some sayings didn't come out exactly right. But as mom always told me practice, practice, practice and that is what I am doing.
Chapter 5 Recap
Well let's see we had my first lemon at the start and the second lemon at the end. Wow those were a first for me writing them. I knew they were coming but I just didn't know when to add them. Hope you all liked them.
Ana and Christian talked about GEH and what he wants to do with it. Yes it will reopen in Seattle not sure when though.
The family went sightseeing. They did a lot of things.
They took a tour of the winery that was a castle at one time and got a lot of information on its history.
How about granmomma wanting to stomp grapes and get the whole family in it. Funny Elliot had to make everyone laugh but he didn't mean to fall. Then he pulled Paula down with him. I thought she was going to kill him at first but she just laughed it off.
My, my , my granmomma is a feisty little lady. She wanted to ride a vespa after El told her what it was. Man she put Ray in his place fast. lol. They all rode them and had a great time.
Ana and Christian did a cooking tour and made pasta. They did well and they made spaghetti noodles.
They visited the Cathédrale of Santa Maria del Fiore and Elliot fell in love with the architecture of the building. Sorry it was so long but something like I had to go into detail. But that is me. I love detail, especially something like the Cathédrale.
They ate gelato and had a good time with the family.
There was a little tension there for a minute or two between Ana and Sawyer's cousin who was helping take photos of their tour. Do you think that there might be a little drama there? She doesn't know BadAss Steele does she?
Well they are making plans for a wedding in four weeks wow can hardly wait. Here comes the bride and they are getting married at home. They bought the house.
They talked about Ana's plant and Elliot going home for now and coming back in two weeks.
Wow what a way to end the chapter more lovemaking and Christian almost passing out. The Little Death…mercy but he is fine.
Chapter 6 Wedding preparations and more sightseeing Rome
They wake up all hot and bothered wrapped up in each other. Arms and legs tangled together.
Ana leans over and kisses him good morning. Still worried about last night.
"Christian my love, are you sure you are alright? I mean about last night?"
"Yes angel I am fine. That was out of this world. I think I am still floating around up there between all the planets."
"I am on a high to my love. That was exhilarating and when I came I swear I saw stars. Then when we came together oh my lord I was in heaven until I looked at you and you were having trouble breathing. Don't ever do that to me again. I mean it."
"I am sorry love and I can't promise something like that. It happened and there was nothing I could do about it. It was like all my senses wouldn't work. I had no control over my body or mind. I was feeling helpless but I loved it. It was one helluva powerful orgasm after another. I thought I was going to pass out. You talking to me brought me back."
"I am fine, love now give me a kiss so we can get out of this bed and take a quick shower."
They get their shower and get ready for the day.
"Ana, I think I am going to talk to El. I feel like we are pushing him out and he has just got here. I wonder if he has anyone that can continue the build that he trusts enough so he won't have to leave us."
"I was thinking the same thing. Hell I pushed him to get on my jet and I railroaded him with the time to be up and ready to go back home. Damn I feel bad."
"Come on angel, let's go talk to him. I am sure he has a guy or guys that have been with him long enough to handle this for him."
"Good morning y'all. Everyone have a good night?"
Yes they all say.
"Elliot can Ana and I talk to you for a few minutes. Paula, you are welcome to come too."
"Sure bro let me grab a coffee."
They all grab a coffee.
"We will be right back won't take long then we will start breakfast."
They all walk outside to the back deck and sit down at the table.
"El we feel like we are pushing and railroading you to go home. Damn Bro you just got here. Now we are making plans for our wedding and you are going home. I need my bro here."
"What is this about Ana? You know how he is, he takes forever to get to the point sometimes like now."
Ana giggles.
"Yes El I know. What he is trying to say is we don't want you to leave. I feel like I pushed you too. Is there anyone who you trust enough that can continue the job without you having to leave for two weeks? That is what my darling Boo was trying to say."
"Wait a minute back the horse up. I didn't feel like that. I know how important this plant is to Ana and if I have to go home and check on things I will. Yes I have Ronnie he has been with me since I started my company and Dexter came on a year later. Ronnie is the supervisor and Dexter is under him."
"They both know what I expect out of them. They know what Ana wants and how she wants it done. I have never had any problems with either of them. They helped me with the Atlanta plant and her office building."
"What if I Facetime them both from the site and we can see what they accomplished so far granted we have only been working on it for about two weeks now. There is a lot that has been done and you can see the work little lady."
"I think that would work that way they can tell you if there have been any issues since you've been gone."
"You can also look at what they have done. Elliot, you can ask them to walk around so y'all can see the work being done."
"Yes, that is a good idea, thanks baby. I will have him use a laptop so we can get a better picture."
"Ok that is settled now let's go cook breakfast. Boo will you let Dav know to cancel Elliot's trip home?"
"Yes love I just texted him. He just answered me back saying he will cancel it."
"Good well that is taken care of. Elliot, I guess you can go and unpack."
"Yep come on Paula you can help me."
"Um I am not your maid my love."
"No but you can sit with me while I put everything away."
"Now that is more like it."
They all walked back into the house. El and Paula going to their room and Ana and Christian going to the kitchen.
"What would you like for breakfast Boo?"
"I know what I would love to have but it's not on the menu."
He says, wiggling his eyebrows.
"You are bad."
"Not bad, just know what I want and I want you my angel."
"Well maybe later we can take care of that want."
"Now breakfast, what would you like?"
"Let's make breakfast burritos with eggs, bacon and your potatoes. How does that sound?"
"Let's get cookin."
They worked so well in the kitchen and had breakfast done in record time.
The bar was big enough for all of them to sit on each side.
"Breakfast is done, come and get it."
Didn't have to tell them twice they sound like a herd of buffalo coming into the kitchen.
"Mt goodness are y'all starving? We fixed it as fast as we could and made it simple."
"No not starving, we just like everything you and bro cook."
"Did anyone call Dav and the guys? We made plenty for everyone and I know there will be leftovers."
"Yeah I called them. Here they come now. You know they always bring their own plate? I remember them doing that at the condo."
"Dav and Nick and the rest of my security have always done that. I have never asked them why though."
The back door is open and they walk in single file with their plates in hand.
"Oh yeah we're having burritos. Told y'all I could smell them."
"Hey we are curious, why do you all bring your plate when you come to get your food?"
Dav looks sheepish and a blush shows on his cheeks.
"Well we have always done that. We are thankful for Ana and whoever is cooking for us. We bring our plates so you don't have more dishes to wash."
"Thank you for that but you didn't have too. Now we all know."
"It just makes it easier on you and us. Plus it saves us an extra trip back here again when we could be watching out for y'all."
"Make sense to me."
"Ok guys go eat your food. We are planning on going to Rome at noon. How many of Bertelli security is going with us? Aren't we meeting Ray's guys there?"
"Yes we are and I will get word to them. I think with all of us which will be six and the Ray's guys in Rome we will probably need four and have two just for driving us around to different places. With the security guys we used yesterday we should be good. I feel like we don't need Bertelli security in the Rome office. Don't y'all think so? Or would you like new ones?"
"I think it would be better to stay with the ones we already had. We are getting used to them and I don't like changing that much."
"Yes I see what you are saying and I agree with you. We have already met the other guys. Now do you want the same photographers as before? We can use security for picture taking. We have plenty here."
"No, we will use the same two from yesterday. By the way, did you get all the memory cards from them both?"
"Yes we did. We checked their phones also. No pictures taken on them. Looked at the camera's and checked their bags. They ain't getting anything of y'alls."
"I didn't think you would want to use my cousin again. She came off a little snippy yesterday."
"You saw that?"
"Um yes Ana everyone saw and heard her."
'I'll give her another chance but if she fucks up I will fuck her up."
"Calm down tiger, we will be there with you."
"Yeah but the thing is she doesn't know me and there was no reason for the way she said that to me. I also advise you to tell her to keep her eyes to herself Luke."
"I will remind Laura but she is a very nice person. I don't know what got into her yesterday."
"Well nip it in the bud before I do."
"Yes ma'am."
The guys walk out the door and start talking.
"Luke, did you check the memory that your cousin made?"
"No I thought you did or Nick. Maybe Jason. Why do you look upset?"
"Well the reason is because every picture on her last memory card was of Chris."
"Oh hell does Ana know?"
"No but she will have to be told. By the way, how old is your cousin? Ana will go BadAss on her if she doesn't stay away from Chris."
"She is twenty five, I'll go and call my uncle and tell him what she has done. Hopefully he will be able to talk to her. Should I tell him to keep her at home?"
"Well you know Ana is all for second chances but she will smack her down if she gets close to Chris."
"Just talk to him and I am going to show the memory card to them after I have eaten."
"Ok let's go eat…drama….drama…drama…with the ending in a knockout."
"Yeah it is but it won't last long."
They go on to their house and eat and Dav gets the memory card and goes back to the house.
"Hey, can I talk to you and Ana for a few minutes?"
"Sure what's up? Ana, Dav wants to talk to us."
"Have a seat Dav what's going on you look serious?"
"We were checking the memory cards last night and I saw this and I knew you both needed to know. I don't know how we didn't see her just taking pictures of Chris. This card has nothing but Chris on it."
"So I am guessing that is why she was a little snooty towards me when I said all the memory cards given to y'all."
"Yes, that is what I am thinking too. Sawyer said she knew better and she is a nice young lady."
"Let us see what is on the memory card Dav."
He takes it and puts it on Ana's IPad.
"Wow those are good my love. Yeah she has all of Christian. Looks like you got a fan."
"Well I don't need a fan."
"Now Ana, do you still want to use her today?"
"Yeah bring her along I might need to talk to her woman to woman. If y'all know what I mean. Oh is she a security guard too? I have never asked Luke."
"No, she just works in the office and in the field when needed to take pictures. She is a professional photographer but at the moment she needs some lessons on how to act appropriately around people."
"Just make sure Luke talks to her as I said."
"What do we have here? Oh, are those pictures from yesterday? Where are you and the rest of us my dear?"
"Um, they are just of Christian. Luke's cousin just took his picture."
"Well I be damn that is why she was a little bitch yesterday and looking at you like she wanted to slap you. Let me at her."
"Calm down granmomma they will take care of it. If not I will do it myself."
"Oh lordy I know you will. Now come on, we are planning our trip to Rome and look at some gowns."
They walk into the family room.
"Well y'all there might be a knock down drag out tomorrow in Rome."
"Granmomma be quiet. You don't have to tell them."
"Sure she does. She already started it and I got a feeling I know what she is talking about."
"Well if you know then there is no reason to say it."
"Oh good lord is it that little snippy brat Laura?"
"Damn yes it is her. Now you all know let's talk about something else."
"Ana my girl I have your back and you know it."
""Paula let it go. Yes I know you do but I think I can handle her but thank you."
"Ok one question and I will shut up ok?"
"What do you want to know El?"
She sounds exasperated.
El looks at her like maybe he shouldn't ask her now.
"What did she do besides that snippy comment when you said they needed to give the memory cards back once they were full?"
"Well one memory card was nothing but Christian. That's why she didn't want to give it back. The way she looked at me I didn't like either. I will be watching her very closely and so will Luke and security."
"Why are you letting her come with us then?"
"Well you know I like to give people a second chance. It's just if she messes up I will put her in her place and she won't like it."
"Ah I see…you are itching to bitch slap her."
"You know me so well Paula, Christian said the same thing last night when I told him about the snippy way she talked to me."
Everyone laughed.
"Yes we do and I will keep her away from you both."
Ana smiles at Paula.
"Alright now what are we going to see in Rome? Any suggestions?"
"Oh we have so many places I want to see. I know we can't do it all in one day."
Gran and granmomma are both talking at once.
"Calm down ladies, I can't hear both of you at once."
"Why don't we book some rooms and spend the night and do some more sightseeing the next day?"
"That sounds like a good idea. We are three hours from Rome so instead of two trips we will just stay the night."
"Jason, can you make arrangements for us? You might want to talk to Dav. He has the number of security that will be with us."
"Ok I will go and find him and talk to him then I will make reservations for all of us."
"I am pretty sure Bertelli security will probably stay with some of their family in Rome. Just ask Dav to call and see if that is what they want to do first before you book their rooms."
"Yes ma'am I'll go and talk to him."
"Ok what do y'all want to see? One at a time now."
"The Vatican, The Vatican Museums, The Sistine Chapel, Villa Borghese, The Tempietto di Bramante e Chiesa di San Pietro in Montorio- meaning Little Temple, Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi- Church of San Luigi, Chiesa di Santa Maria della Vittoria, Piazza del Campidoglio. I think those are the ones we want to see. Not saying we will see them all."
"Wow granmomma you and gran have been busy looking."
"Yes Annie Rose we have. This will probably be the one and only time we get to see things like this. You know, once in a lifetime. We are looking forward to seeing them."
"Well I want to see St Peter's Basilica."
"All the reservations have been made. Ana and Bertelli security are going to stay with their family and friends in Rome. The two photographers will be ready in Rome whenever you request them."
"Alright good well we should be ready to leave by noon. I am sure everyone will be ready by then."
The security arrives and everyone walks out to meet them all.
"Hello Mr. Bertelli, did Dav give you our itinerary for today and tomorrow?"
"Yes Ms. Steele he did it and it looks fine."
"Mr. Bertelli, would it be alright if we used your first names? That way every time someone says Mr. Bertelli you all won't have to answer."
"Yes Ms. Steele, that will be fine. I was going to suggest that too."
"Vey well now will you all repeat your names for us?"
"Yes ma'am I am Ralph, he points to his brother in the driver's seat this is Wade he has dark curly hair, Edwin is the tallest and biggest, Alistar is the youngest he also has dark hair but it is cut short and this one here is George he is the shortest of all of us."
"Wade and George will be your drivers unless we need them for extra security-related places with a lot of people. Like the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican."
"We dressed appropriately for where we are going, right?"
"Yes Ms. Ana, you all look very nice. Now shall we be going? Your luggage is already in the cars."
"We will be stopping at the hotel first so you can all check in and then we will start the tour with the Sistine Chapel first."
'Alright now can you all remember their names?"
"Yes Ana I think we can."
"Are we ready to go y'all? I got places to see."
"Yes granmomma we are all ready
They arrived in Rome at the luxurious NH Collection Roma Fori Imperiali.
"Oh my goodness this place is gorgeous Christian."
"Yes love it is and only the best for you and our family."
Dav and Jason check everyone in and they have a code for their room with no keys.
"Christian this is like when we all stayed in Miami you set your own code once you get to your room."
"Yeah I liked that. This way no one will enter our rooms."
"They have a roof-terrace bar and restaurant open twenty hours if you would like to eat here tonight."
"That sounds like what we might do with all the sightseeing our grandmothers want to do today."
"The terrace overlooks the Roman Forum. We are in the heart of Rome. That is what the concierge told me."
"Well let's put away our clothes and we will meet you all here in twenty minutes,"
"Very good see you all then.
Everyone goes to their rooms and unpacks and they all meet back in twenty minutes.
'Wow perfect timing y'all."
"These rooms are gorgeous Annie Rose."
"Yes granmomma I know they are. Ours is extremely large and I love the terrace we have."
"Dav have you called the guys and told them we are ready to go? Oh daddy you buddies son and friend are going to be with us today. I forgot to tell you."
"Yes Ana, they are waiting on us. I haven't called the photographers yet. Since no picture taking inside the Chapel."
"That is fine, thank you. I will let you know when to get in touch with them."
"Yes Annie I know we are. I talked to David and Grey on the phone while I was unpacking. It will be good to see them."
"Good, I would like to see them again. We met them when we arrived and told them we would see them when we traveled to Rome. Where is David's family at daddy?"
"His mom and dad travel since they are both retired from the Marines. They live in Virginia. They both do work for the government so they thought staying close to their home base would be good for them. They have a home here in Rome that David lives in with his friend,"
"Oh wow that's pretty cool. So they kinda do what you do?"
"Yes but more what you do or did."
"Ok we will stop talking about them then. I know what government means."
"Yes Annie but they are not ranked as high as you especially with your FBI Clearance and all."
"Alright come on let's go they are waiting on us downstairs."
They all get in the lift and go down to meet the guys and start their day.
"David, Grey so good to see you two. How have you both been? What's it been three or four years now since we've seen each other?"
"Old man, how are you? Yes sir we are doing good and yeah about four years now. We met your daughter and her fiancée last week and the family."
"Yes they talked us into flying out to spend some time with them. Well come on y'all let's be on our way."
They ride to the Sistine Chapel and they are all stunned by the beauty of it just from the outside. It is a magnificent sight to see.
(Sistine Chapel)
"I believe that is your guide Ms. Ana for the tour."
"Welcome I am Adrian Pastele and you are the Grey-Steele party correct?"
"Yes Mr. Pastele we are. Thank you for taking the time to show us around. We appreciate it."
"It is my pleasure madam. I will be telling you about the inside and the outside of this magnificent chapel. Please follow me."
Sistine Chapel
"The jewel in the Vatican crown, the Cappella Sistina houses two of the world's most famous works of art – Michelangelo's ceiling frescoes and his Giudizio Universale (Last Judgment; Fifteen thirty six to fifteen forty one)."
"The Sistine Chapel is the one part of the Vatican Museums that everyone wants to see. Did you know on a busy day there are up to two thousand people."
"The eight hundred sq-meter ceiling design – best viewed from the far east wall. So we are going to walk over there so you can see it better. Centers on nine panels depicting stories from the Book of Genesis. The most famous image, the Creation of Adam, shows a bearded God reaching out to touch fingers with Adam and so bring him to life."
"Now as you look up you will also see the Drunkenness of Noah followed by the Flood and the Sacrifice of Noah. Keep looking you will see the Original Sin and Banishment from the Garden of Eden famously depicts Adam and Eve being sent packing after accepting the forbidden fruit from Satan, represented by a snake with the body of a woman coiled around a Creation of Eve is followed by the Creation of Adam."
"This is one of the most famous images in the Western art showing a bearded God pointing his finger at Adam thus bringing him to life."
"Completing the sequence are the Separation of the Land from the Sea; the Creation of the Sun, Moon and Planets; and the Separation of Light from Darkness, featuring a fearsome God reaching out to touch the sun."
"Set around the central panels are twenty athletic male nudes, known as ignudi."
"Opposite, on the west wall is Michelangelo's mesmeric Giudizio Universale. showing Christ on the center near the top passing sentence over the souls of the dead as they are torn from their graves to face him. The saved get to stay up in heaven, the damned are sent down to face the demons of hell."
"Near the bottom on the right, you will see a man with donkey ears and a snake wrapped around him. This is Biagio de Cesena, the papal master of the ceremonies who was a fierce critic of Michelangelo's composition."
"Another famous figure is St Bartholomew just beneath Christ holding his own flayed skin. The face in the skin is said to be a self portrait of Michelangelo, its anguished look reflecting the artist's tormented faith."
"Now let's go look at some more paintings."
"The chapel walls also boast the superb frescoes painted by a crack team of Renaissance artists including Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Pinturicchio, Perugino and Luca Signorelli, they represent events in the lives of Moses (to the left looking at the Giudizio Universale) and Christ (to the right)."
'Highlights include Botticelli's Temptations of Christ and Perugino's Handing over the Keys."
"As well as providing a showcase of priceless art the Sistine Chapel also serves an important religious function as the place where the conclave meets the new Pope."
"Oh I didn't know that about the Pope."
"They have painted architectural features and a cast of colorful biblical characters throughout the Museum."
"Wow, that was something to see. The paintings are more beautiful than I expected them to be from looking at them in books and now standing here seeing them in person. The books don't do them justice at all."
"Yes, gran it is gorgeous to see."
"Thank you so much for the tour. We greatly appreciated it and we learned a lot. I am extremely impressed with your knowledge of all of this young man."
"Thank you ma'am I was born and raised here in Rome and I was taught at a young age about my homeland and history."
"Well you were taught very well. Now we will be going. We have some more places to see."
"Enjoy your visit to our beautiful city."
They all walk back to the cars with security and get in and drive over to the Villa Borghese.
"I will go and bring your guide to you. Please wait here, I will return shortly."
"Ms. Steele, let me introduce you to Monty Jacobson. He will be your guide for this tour."
"Very nice to meet you ma'am if you all are ready we will proceed to the
"Yes we are ready. Whenever you want to start."
"We will be riding in large golf carts. They seat eight people and I see you have a large party."
"Yes we do, we have our family and security with us. two security guards will be with each cart. Do you have enough for all of us?"
"Oh yes ma'am we sure do."
They all board the carts and take off for their tour of the gardens.
(Villa Borghese)
"We have locals, lovers, tourists and even joggers. No one can resist the lure of Rome's most celebrated park. Originally the seventeenth century estate of Cardinal Scipione Borghese. It covers about eighty acres of wooded glades, gardens and grassy banks. Among its attractions are landscaped Giarino del Lago, Pizza di Siena, a dusty arena used for Rome's top equestrian event that happens in May, and a panoramic terrace on the Pincio Hill."
History
"Often referred to as the Villa Borghese Pinciana – due to its location on the Pincio Hill – the construction of the neoclassical masterpiece that stands in the middle of Rome's third largest park was commissioned to architect Flaminio Ponzio by the powerful Cardinal Scipione Caffarelli Borghese, a relative of Pope Paul V, in sixteen zero six."
"Originally it was surrounded by vineyards and hunting grounds, the villa and its park underwent substantial renovations in the late eighteenth century, under the guidance of Prince Marcantonio who hired artists, architects and gardeners to upgrade the property. The Giardino del Lago – an artificial lake built around a gracious Ionic temple dedicated to Aesculapius – was one of the most impressive additions, but many other temples and sculptures contributed to transforming the gardens into an open-air museum."
"Following the Unification of Italy in eighteen sixty one, a lengthy legal dispute between the Borghese and the government ended with the acquisition of the property by the Italian state. The transfer included the invaluable artworks the Borghese family had collected over centuries, which is now exhibited in the Museo e Galleria Borghese."
"The villa is full of sculptures and fountains creating a vast open-air museum."
Trevi Fountain
"This is Rome's most famous fountain, the iconic Fontana di Trevi, or Trevi Fountain, is a flamboyant baroque ensemble of mythical figures and wild horses taking up the entire side of the seventh-century Palazzo Poli. Thousands visit the fountain every day, keeping up with the tradition of tossing a coin into the water to ensure they will return to Rome. That, and it makes for a great photo opportunity. On average, about €three thousand ($three thousand two fifty) is thrown in daily."
History
"The fountain's design, the work of Nicola Salvi in seventeen thirty two, depicts sea-god Oceanus in a shell-shaped chariot led by Tritons with seahorses – one wild, one docile – representing the moods of the sea. In the niche to the left of Neptune, a statue represents Abundance; to the right is Salubrity. The water comes from the Aqua Virgo, a first-century-BCE underground aqueduct, and the name Trevi refers to the "tre vie" (three roads) that converge at the fountain."
"The famous tradition of tossing a coin into the fountain to ensure your trip to Rome comes from the nineteen fifty four film Three Coins in the Fountain. The money thrown into the Trevi is collected daily and goes to the Catholic charity Caritas, with its yield increasing significantly since the crackdown on people extracting the money for themselves."
"Oh my goodness I didn't know that. Wow, that is amazing. I must have been busy working and never heard of that film. I think we are going to have to see it Boo.
"Yes angel, we will have to watch it. Sounds interesting."
"Most famously, Trevi Fountain is where movie star Anita Ekberg cavorted in a ballgown in director Federico Fellini's classic La Dolce Vita (nineteen sixty); apparently she wore waders under her iconic black dress but still shivered during the winter shoot. In the summer of two thousand sixteen , a British woman was fined €four hundred fifty ($five hundred four two) for dancing in the fountain in an evening dress and fur stole in blatant imitation of the iconic actress"
"I heard about that."
"Well ladies and gentlemen, that is our tour. I hope you all enjoyed it."
"Yes we did, young man, thank you so much for showing us and telling us about the history."
"You are very welcome ma'am. Enjoy the rest of your day and tours if you all are planning more."
"Yes, young man we are."
(Tempietto di Bramante e Chiesa di San Pietro in Montorio)
"Considered the first great building of the High Renaissance, Bramante's sublime tempietto (Little Temple) is a perfect surprise, squeezed into the courtyard of the Chiesa di San Pietro in Montorio, on the spot where St Peter is said to have been crucified. It's small but perfectly formed; its classically inspired design and ideal proportions epitomize the Renaissance zeitgeist."
"Construction of the Tempietto started between fifteen zero two and fifteen zero three and was completed in fifteen ten. The Spanish royal family commissioned the project to Donato Bramante, considered a pioneer of the High Renaissance style in Rome, as a memorial to St Peter, who is traditionally believed to have been crucified on Rome's Gianicolo Hill. Renaissance writer Palladio would later describe the Tempietto as an ideal architectural model, which reflected all the qualities of ancient classical buildings."
"It has a circular interior surrounded by sixteen columns and topped by a classical frieze, elegant balustrade and dome. More than a century later, in sixteen twenty eight, Bernini added a staircase. Bernini also contributed a chapel to the adjacent church, the last resting place of Beatrice Cenci, an Italian noblewoman who helped murder her abusive father in the sixteenth century, and subsequently was tried and beheaded on Ponte Sant'Angelo."
Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi
"The church of Rome's French community since fifteen eighty nine, this opulent baroque chiesa is home to a celebrated trio of Caravaggio paintings: the Vocazione di San Matteo (The Calling of Saint Matthew), the Martirio di San Matteo (The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew) and San Matteo e l'angelo (Saint Matthew and the Angel), known collectively as the St Matthew cycle. Find them in the Cappella Contarelli to the left of the main altar."
"These three canvases are among the earliest of Caravaggio's religious works, painted between sixteen hundred and sixteen zero two, but they are inescapably his, featuring a down-to-earth realism and the stunning use of chiaroscuro (the bold contrast of light and dark)."
History
"While Pope Sixtus IV gave Rome's French community permission to build a church as early as fourteen seventy eight, works to erect the structure between the Pantheon and Piazza Navona began only in fifteen eighteen. The structure – named after St Louis, as a tribute to the French King – would take over seventy years to be completed, although the frescoes that adorn its interior would appear much later."
Chiesa di Santa Maria della Vittoria
"Designed by Carlo Maderno, this modest church is an unlikely setting for an extraordinary work of art – Bernini's extravagant and sexually charged Santa Teresa trafitta dall'amore di Dio (Ecstasy of St Teresa). This daring sculpture depicts Teresa, engulfed in the folds of a flowing cloak, floating in ecstasy on a cloud while a teasing angel pierces her repeatedly with a golden arrow. It's in the fourth chapel on the north side."
"Watching the whole scene from two side balconies are a number of sculpted figures, including one depicting Cardinal Federico Cornaro, for whom the chapel was built. It's a stunning and major work, bathed in soft natural light filtering through a concealed window. Go in the afternoon for the best effect."
History
"The Baroque church of Santa Maria della Vittoria was built between sixteen zero eight and sixteen twenty and originally dedicated to St Paul. An initial victory of the Catholics over Protestants during the Thirty Years' War's Battle of White Mountain (sixteen twenty) led to the celebratory renaming of the structure."
"Giovanni Battista Soria added the marble facade in sixteen twenty six, and over time different artists – including Domenichino, Guercino, and Guido Reni – contributed to adorning the interior. In the sixteen forty's."
"Gian Lorenzo Bernini completed what is considered the church's showpiece, the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. The intricate sculptural group was crafted for the chapel of Venetian cardinal Federico Cornèr and was carefully positioned below an invisible window that allows for the sun rays to descend upon the two figures – an angel about to pierce St Teresa's heart with an arrow – creating a dramatic effect through the contrast of light and shadows."
"Do we have a guide for this tour?"
"Yes ma'am I will go and get him."
"Thank you. Dav will call the photographers and once they arrive you need to have a talk with both of them."
"Yes Ana I will."
"Ms. Ana, may I ask who you are using for photos?"
"Of course you can we are using Mr. Bertelli's family. Jonas and Laura. Do you know them?"
"Yes ma'am we do. We have worked with the Bertelli security quite a bit and excuse me for saying this but that Laura is a piece of work. She is a good photographer but tends to lean towards the men. I would not put it past her to try to cozy up to Mr. Grey, his brother or any of your security. Just a friendly warning."
"Thank you and yes she was our photographer before and she only took pictures of Christian and we didn't know until Dav looked at the memory card. She was a little snippy toward me and we figured out that was the reason."
"Yeah watch her, she is devious and can be a bitch at times."
"Well the little bitch has met her match then. So can I. She better stay away from Christian or I will put her in her place. Hopefully the talk that Dav has with them will straighten her out. If not I will. She doesn't know who she is messing with. I am FBI and I have a few black belts. I will take her ass out."
"Angel here they come."
"Annie Rose calm down, it will be alright if not you can smack her down."
Everyone laughs at granmomma.
"Hello everyone, how are you all today?"
"Hello Jonas and Laura we are doing well thank you."
"That is great now, what are we going to be videoing and taking pictures of today?"
"The Piazza del Campidoglio."
"That will make some very nice pictures and a lovely video of the Piazza and we have to take pictures of the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius."
"Very well sounds like you have been here a few times Jonas?"
"Yes ma'am I have visitors ask for me from time to time."
"Laura, did my security talk to you about the memory card you didn't want to give back and what you had on it? I do not appreciate you taking all those pictures of my fiancée and of no one else. We are a family and I expect everyone in the pictures, not just my soon to be husband. That is what you were hired to do. Now let me make it clear to you. If you can not take pictures of everyone you can leave. Your service will not be needed."
"Yes Ms. Steele he did and I for one do not see anything wrong taking pictures of Mr. Grey is a single and very handsome young man and I liked taking his photos."
"Um, excuse me. Did you not just hear what I said he is my fiancée and we plan to be married soon. You will have to leave since you think you can do as you please."
"Well he might be engaged to the likes of you but that doesn't mean anything to me. There is no ring on his finger so he is still single in my eyes."
"You will leave now or I will have security take you away. It is your choice. You are fired now, walk away."
"You can't tell me to leave. I am working here."
"Not with us you are not. Are you deaf and stupid? I said we do not need you here so take a hike and get out of here."
"How can you be with a woman like that Mr. Grey? She is nothing but a little bitch. Come with me and I will make you happy and show you what a real woman is."
She starts to walk over to Christian but Ana steps in front of her.
"Come on Annie Rose, let's walk, she is not worth it."
They all start to walk away but…
She runs after Ana and jerks her around.
"You do not walk away from me. I am talking to you bitch."
"Look I do not… I repeat I do not want any trouble with you. So please release my arm. You have been fired and now walk away."
She digs her nails into Ana's arm but Ana takes care of her.
"Last chance to release me now. So back the fuck off before I lay your ass out and have you locked up. You don't know who you are messing with, little girl."
"Excuse me you are nothing, just a little whore bitch taking him for everything he has. A gold digger like you won't last long."
"Well time is up."
Ana jerks her arm out of her hand and picks her up and flips her over shoulder and throws her face down on the ground.
"Damn you messed up Laura."
"Lady and I say that loosely let me tell you something, she is not a gold digger, this young lady, Anastasia Steele FBI and owner of baby food companies all over the world. She is richer than Croesus. Ever heard of Steel Cuisine Baby Food?"
"Oh my God you are not her. I have seen her pictures and you can't be her. Anyway, I am not going anywhere."
"Lady you are fucking stupid."
"Prove it is you?"
"Little girl, I do not have to prove a damn thing to you. Everyone here knows who I am. I suggest you shut up now."
She just lays there yelling at Ana.
"Look he didn't take up for you."
"I do not need to take up for my fiancée; she can handle herself just fine without me or anyone interfering. I suggest you shut up as she said and I do not hit women."
Ana flips her on her back and if looks could kill she would be dead.
"Look Laura I am going to give you one final chance to walk away now. You are fired, how many times do I have to repeat myself. What don't you understand? So I am going to let you up but if you start shit with me again you will go to jail for starting all of this."
"Yes alright let me up. I don't want to be here anymore."
Ana is cautious but she lets her up and steps away from her just in case she wants to try to hit her.
"Time to go, you all."
They go to walk away and Laura tries to jump Ana from behind
Oops she is on her ass again. Ana puts her knee in her back again.
"What the fuck is wrong with her Jonas? Does she do this a lot with clients?"
"Not with me she doesn't. I don't know what her problem is."
"Holy hell did you all see that? We need a replay."
"Leave it to you bro to say something like that."
"Well hell it's true. I didn't know she could be that quick.'
"Bro don't ever underestimate my girl."
"Yeah I can see that."
While they are talking Laura is laying on the ground. No one, not even her cousin is helping her up.
Laura is stunned and tries to get up but Ana has her knee in her back.
Ana yells at her.
"Why the fuck did you do that you stupid bitch. No one hits me. The last one she wound up face down on the restaurant floor. I told you to leave, we don't want you here. You are fired for the third time. You are acting like a jealous bitch here. I have had enough."
She looks down at Laura.
"David, call the police please."
"No, I will leave."
"It's too late for that now. As of now you will never work in this city or anywhere else as a photographer. You say you are a professional. I call bullshit on that. As of now you are a little has been."
The police arrive and ask questions.
They arrive and they see Laura on the ground and Ms. Steele with her knee in her back.
The captain shakes his head.
"Hello I am Captain Jamie Deltroie and this is Officer Madeleine Fontaine. What seems to be the problem?"
They take in the scene and they know who Ana is and Laura, she is a Bertelli.
"Laura, what have you gotten yourself into girl?"
"I will say this Captain Deltroie when I let her go if she touches me I will knock her own her ass again"
"I will make sure she does not touch you. Officer Fontaine please stand with Ms. Bertelli."
"I was working here for this family and this thing here..she points to Ana..started in on me because I was only taking pictures of Mr. Grey yesterday in Florence. They ask us to take photos and videos for their family."
"Well Laura, why didn't you follow directions and take photos of the whole family, not just Mr. Grey?"
"Because I did not want anyone else on the memory card and I was going to keep it but she told me I had to return them when they were full. I didn't like that."
"Well, I have to give it to her. She is honest but a bitch."
"See that is where you are wrong. All the memory cards are ours not yours to keep. You were told you had to return the memory card as soon as it was full. You did not want to do that at first and you got snippy with me when I said you had to do it."
"Laura, it is their property not yours. You were hired to take photos, not keep them."
"So would someone please explain what happened here today for us to be called? Ms. Steele, can you explain why you had your knee in her back when we arrived?"
"Absolutely sir. She has been rude and has a very smart mouth. I asked her to leave because we did not want her to take photos for us. She said she wasn't going anywhere. So I fired her and turned to walk away but she ran after me and jerked me around by my arm."
"She called me a bitch and told me not to walk away from here. I was trying to avoid a confrontation with her. She would not let go of my arm when I asked her to so I put her on her ass."
"I flipped her over on her back and gave her a warning that when I let her go she was to leave and told her again she was fired."
"She said she would leave but she didn't. As we turned to walk away she jumped me from behind and I dropped her on her ass again well on her face."
"That is when I said I have had enough and told David to call the police. I want her locked up now. I want her arrested for assault and battery on myself. She brought blood on my arm and was aggressive to me."
"Come along Laura, you are under arrest for assault and battery. Officer Fontaine, please handcuff her."
The Captain and Officer walked off with Laura in handcuffs. She was screaming and calling Ana a bitch.
"Mr. Bertelli we were going to call you after we got to the station."
"Well I am here now. I do not need an explanation. I have seen it all on my phone from the video that Jonas has sent me."
"Ms. Steele Mr. Grey I am Dominick Bertelli. I am Laura's father. I apologize for my daughter. She will be dealt with according to the law."
"Come on along young lady."
"Ms. Ana and family I am so sorry for the way my cousin was behaving."
"Jonas it is not your fault and I appreciate you videoing this for your uncle. I understand it was difficult with her being your cousin. But you did the right thing. Now are you able to take photos by yourself? I have guys that can help with photos and videos so you do not have to do them by yourself."
"Thank you Ms. Ana, yes the help will be greatly appreciated. I will talk to the guys and make some arrangements on who will take what and when."
"Very well shall we be on our way to the Piazza del Campidoglio?"
"Yes please let's get out of here."
"We are only a few streets from there. Would you like to walk or ride?"
"Let's walk, it is not that far."
Piazza del Campidoglio
They arrive at their next destination.
"Ms. Ana I will go and find your guide for this tour."
"Very well we will wait right here with everyone else."
"Ladies and gentlemen may I introduce you to Maurice Weatherford."
"Maurice, this is Ms. Steele, Mr Grey, their family and security guards."
"Welcome everyone to The PIazza del Campidoglio. I will be taking you on your tour of the Plazza and will tell you about the history and you will be able to see some famous designs by Michelangelo, some museums and some of Rome's historic city. We are in the heart of the city and everything I have mentioned you will be able to see.'
"Shall we proceed ma'am?"
"Yes please thank you."
"This hilltop piazza, designed by Michelangelo in fifteen thirty eight, is one of Rome's most beautiful squares. There are several approaches but the most dramatic is the graceful Cordonata staircase, which leads up from Piazza d'Aracoeli."
"Would you all like to see the staircase and walk over to the Piazza d'Aracoeli?"
"Yes, that would be lovely. There is a fountain over there right?"
"Yes ma'am there is. The name of it is Fountana di Piazza d'Aracoeli. We also have a Piazza Navona; it is a public open space in Rome. It is built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian but in the first century AD and follows the form of the open space of the stadium."
"That sounds interesting to see. How far is that from here?"
"Your drivers can take you there, it is not within walking distance of here. It is about a fifteen minute drive."
"The graceful staircase was designed by Michelangelo. It was built with wide shallow steps to allow people to ride their horses up to the piazza as well as walk up. At the top of the stairs you will see twin statues of Castor and Pollux."
"What are we waiting for, let's go young man. I for one want to see all of that and more."
Gran and granmomma both take one of his arms and they walk off with him.
"Angel, do you think you can walk up the steps? They are not far apart but there are a lot of them."
"Boo I think I will be alright. My leg hasn't bothered me in a while. Besides, I have you to lean on."
"Yes my love you do. Are you alright from earlier?"
"Shh, don't want to talk about that right now ok?"
"Of course but I was just checking on you."
"Thank you love but I am good."
They all walk up the staircase and see the statues at the top. The walk is lined with statues also.
"The piazza is flanked by Palazzo Nuovo and Palazzo dei Conservatori, together home to the Capitoline Museums, and Palazzo Senatorio, Rome's historic city hall. In the center is a copy of an equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius."
"The original, which dates from the second century AD, is in the Capitoline Museums."
They walk around and see everything their guide is showing and telling them about,
They walk to the base of Capitoline Hill in the little square with the same name to see the fountain.
Ana notices that the guys are taking photos.
"The fountain is one of the first and simplest of Renaissance fountains that embellished the city. There are two circular basins, capturing the water, the top ringed by children pouring water from jugs while above them is the heraldic symbol of the papal family. The fountain was commissioned by Pope Sixtus V in Fifteen eight nine."
"The fountain was designed by Giacomo della Porta and was constructed by Andrea Brasca, Pietro Gucci and Pace Naldini."
"Ralph would you please get some pictures of Christian and I by the fountain and then a few with the family please?"
"Yes Ms. Ana. I was going to suggest that since you and Mr. Grey are already close to it."
"Stand in front of Mr. Grey please? Mr. Grey put your arms around Ms. Ana for a moment?"
"Yes that is perfect now can I get one of you both looking up at the fountain?"
"Nice thank you. Alright family come join them please. Let's put the men in the back and ladies in the front."
"Come on Dav, Luke and all of you, you are all family. A big group photo for our homes."
"Yes, that is very good. Now I am going to take some natural photos just to act normal. Don't look at the camera."
"Thank you and Dav this memory card is full. Here you go."
"Thank you Jonas."
"Alright ladies and gentlemen I will leave you now. I had a lovely time showing you around. Enjoy your stay in my country."
"Thank you Maurice we enjoyed it also."
"Ralph, we would like to go and see the Piazza Navona please."
"Yes ma'am I have already called the guys to bring the cars they are waiting for us on the other side of this fountain."
"Wow, thank you for being so prompt."
"Yes ma'am."
They all get in the cars and arrive at the Piazza Navona.
"We will walk this way. The fountain is on the water but you will be able to see it from land. Piazza Navona, also called the Square of the Fountains, is one of the city's most emblematic places. It is complete with three fountains and lined with ochre-colored buildings adorned with flowers. In the summer the piazza is more lively with tourists, street vendors and artists."
The piazza owes its elliptical shape to the stadium built in the space of by Emperor Domitian in eighty six AD for sporting competitions and gladiatorial contests. It was originally known as the Circus Agonalis before the name became in agone in the Middle Ages, later named Navona.'
"A little history if you would like to know more?"
"Yes please."
"Martyrdom in Piazza Navona in the year three hundred four AD the Piazza Navona witnessed the martyrdom of Agnes of Rome, a thirteen year old girl who refused to renounce her Christian faith or to marry a pagan. Before being killed Agnes was dragged to a brothel and then thrown naked into the stadium. The story goes that her hair quickly grew to cover her naked body. A chapel was soon raised at the place of her death and in the seventeenth century was transformed into the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone notable for its peculiar concave facade."
"Oh wow now you said the story goes. Do you believe that happened to her?"
"I do not know for sure but that is what we were taught to believe. You know anything is possible."
"That is so true."
"Ok now let us go and see the Fountain dei Quattro Fiumi by Baroque genius Gian Lorenzo Bernini is the centerpiece of Piazza Navona. The four main figures in the fountain represent the four rivers of paradise (The Nile, the Ganges, The Rio de la Plata and the Danube) and the four corners of the world: Africa, Asia, America and Europe."
"If you look you will see that rising from the fountain is an Egyptian obelisk in honor of Domitian and bearing the symbol of the family of Pope Innocent X."
"There is also the Fountain Neptune and Moor Fountain. They are smaller fountains on each end of the Piazza."
"Well ladies and gentlemen, where would you all like to go next?"
"I for one would like to go back to the hotel and have dinner on the rooftop. I am hungry. How about you all?:
"Yes, I think we all could eat some food. It is pretty late in the evening."
"Well guys we are going back to the hotel for dinner. Ralph, you and your guys are welcome to join us if you would like to?"
"Thank you Ms. Ana but we will be going home and our families will have our dinner prepared for us. We will see you all tomorrow right?"
"Yes there are a few more places we would like to see and we want to go shopping also. So say we meet you all downstairs at ten after we have breakfast and then we will be going back to the house in the evening."
"Sounds very good. We will see you in the morning."
They arrive back at the hotel and say their goodbyes and head inside.
"Would you all like to join us on the rooftop for dinner?"
They all say yes at once.
"Can you guys see if we need reservation please? We are going to take showers and change clothes. I think it is casual clothes this evening. Whoever makes reservations please call either Christian or I let us know the time please."
"Yes Ana we will let you know."
They all get in the lift and go up to their rooms.
"Ana and Christian take quick showers and get dressed waiting on someone to call about the reservations.
"Hello."
"Ana reservations are in one hour. We will meet you at your door. I'll call and let you know when we will leave our rooms."
"Ok thank you Dav."
"Boo we are eating in an hour."
"Ok sounds good. Now where were we? Oh yes right here."
"Love, we don't have time for this or another shower. Oh my god that feels so good."
Christian has his fingers in her and she is so tight around them. He curls them and she comes covering his hand. He keeps his fingers in her as she comes down from her high. Damn she's sooo fucking tight.
"Og god love you have to stop, I can't take anymore."
He kisses her and takes her breath away. He has to pull away so they can breathe.
My darling angel, I love you so much. I can't wait to make you my wife. Anastasia Rose Grey."
"I can't wait to be your wife, my sweet darlin love."
He slips his fingers out of her and licks them clean.
"Damn so damn good. Best taste ever."
Ana blushes.
Her phone rings.
"Yes Dav?"
"We are all outside your door."
"We will be out in a minute."
Ana straightens her dress and fixes her hair.
Christian tries to get himself under control and washes his hands.
"Come along love they are here."
"Just a minute I don't want everyone seeing this."
He points to his still hard dick.
Ana just walks over to him and rubs her hand up and down and kisses him.
"You will pay for that, you little minx."
She smiles, walks away and grabs her pocketbook and walks to the door. She looks back at Christian to see if he is following her.
"Well love you didn't help it much. I will have to walk behind you."
They both laugh.
"Hey y'all let's go eat, I am starving."
"Gail, would you sit with me? I would like to ask you something?"
"Of course Ana I will."
They get off the lift and walk into the restaurant. The sky is full of stars and it is not too cold out tonight. There are quite a few families and couples here. But it is not over crowded.
They can see the lights all over the city and some of the buildings are lit up. The atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. There is soft music playing and the wait staff are all in black pants and white shirts. Very professional looking.
"Welcome to our rooftop restaurant and bar Ambrosia. My name is Jordana. Name of party please?"
"Steele-Grey."
"Welcome Ms. Steele I am a huge fan of your baby food. My sister buys it for her two children. You have a big following here in Rome and surrounding countries. As a matter of fact my sister told her friends and they ordered from you online."
"Thank you hun. I appreciate that. Please tell your sister and friends thank you for me."
"I will thank you. Now would you all like to eat close to the street so you can view the city or would you rather have a private area?"
"The street area would be lovely, thank you."
"This way please then."
As they are all seated at two long tables with flowing white table cloths and red roses adorn each table with a small candle burning.
"So lovely thank you Jordana."
"Yes ma'am you are welcome."
As they are talking and being seated. Four waiters approach the group.
"Ladies and gentlemen this is Beckett, Patrice, Francis, Oliver and Colin. They will be your servers this evening. I will leave you now. Enjoy your meal."
"Would you all like a beverage to start with?
"Yes, the best wine you have please."
"Very good sir, we shall return soon.
They bring the wind back and Theo tastes it.
"Very good young man, thank you."
They walk around the tables and pour everyone a glass of wine except the ones that have their glasses turned upside down.
"Young man, we will have water with lemon on the side and ice tea please."
"Yes sir. I will have Patrice bring it to you all."
He walks off to place the order for their tea and water.
They all return to take their orders and bring the beverages for security.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to order?"
"Yes, for starters we would like Smoked salmon flan cupola with celery and mango salad, served with greek yogurt dressing. For our main courses my lady will have the Sliced beef tenderloin served with toasted bread and Bearnaise sauce dressing."
"I would like Tagliatelle with the white duck ragout, juniper and orange julienne."
"Very good choice sir."
"Gail and I would like for starters the same as Mr. grey. For the main course we will have the Tonnarelli pasta with black garlic from Voghera, hazelnut paste and scampi tartare with lemon."
"Very good choice as well."
"The misses and I will have the Smoked salmon as well for starters and the main course we will have the Ravioli filled with buffalo ricotta and basil with yellow and red datterini tomatoes, basil pesto and smoked provola."
"Wonderful choice sir."

"What would you like sir?"
"For starters I will have the Thinly sliced pork fillet home-smoked in thyme and cloves, served with celeriac and Stark red apple salad. For my main course I will have the whole steamed lobster with cereal salad, crunchy vegetables and citrus salad."
"Wonderful choice sir."
The other waiters are taking the guys orders
"We will have the same starter as Mr. Steele and the main course sir."
"Very good sir."
"We will have your starters out momentarily. Would anyone like another beverage with their meal?"
"Yes please bring us all water with lemon. Thank you."
"Very good ma'am."
They ate their starters and yes Ana had to try her granmomma's ice cream.
Their main courses were delicious.
"Would anyone care for dessert?"
"Oh lordy no young man we are full but we would all like coffee."
"Yes ma'am one moment."
"Gail I would like for you to be with us girls when I go and look for my gown."
"Ana I would be honored to accompany you all. Thank you for asking me."
"Ana I have called Pronovias Roma and they will see you in the morning at nine o'clock for a private showing if that is alright with you. Then you have one at two o'clock at Marsil High Fashion and Bride."
"That sounds perfect, thank you Dav."
They have their coffee and get ready to leave.
"Would you care for anything else?"
"No my good man we have had plenty thank you. Just the check please and hand it to me."
He walks off and comes back with the check and hands it to Theo.
Theo hands him his card and he goes and takes care of the bill.
"I will leave the tip grandpa."
"No Christian I have it."
"Bro let me take care of it."
"Y'all be quiet for a minute."
Everyone shuts up as granmomma starts to talk
"Young Mr. Beckett this is for you and your waiters. Thank you so much for your service and please tell your help. We appreciate their help also.``
"Yes ma'am I will Thank you and thank you all."
"Granmomma thank you so very much. We appreciate that but you didn't have to do that."
"Yes Christian I know but I wanted to."
They all walk back to the lift and go back down to their rooms.
"Goodnight all, we will see you in the morning."
"Luke, may I have a word with you please?"
"Yes Ana."
They walk into their room with Luke.
"I am not mad or upset with you so please relax and have a seat."
They all sit down.
"Ana first let me say I am sorry for the way my cousin treated you. I have never seen her do that before. She acted like a jealous little bitch. I do not understand why. But I will find out from uncle in the morning."
"I am sorry she did that too Luke and I am not blaming you for her actions. I wanted to tell you that I have blackballed her and she is no longer a photographer here or anywhere. There was no reason for her to treat me and act like that. I just wanted you to be aware of it. She is going to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I am not letting her get away with this."
"I understand and you do what you must. I will stand right there with you."
"Very well goodnight we will see you in the morning."
"Goodnight you two."
Luke walks out the door and they go and get ready for bed.
"Angel, I am going to ask you again, are you alright with what happened earlier? You seemed to be since you talked to Luke but I know you and I want to know how you really feel."
Ana sighs loudly and looks at him.
"Boo I really wanted to beat her ass. There you have it. Just dropping kicking her ass and flipping her two times really wasn't what I wanted. I wanted to drop her so many times and beat her face to a pulp for calling me names. But you know names don't hurt. It's just she thought she could cozy up to you."
"Ok love see I knew there was more you wanted to do to her. I am glad you walked away but I am damn proud of you for kicking her ass."
"Now my love, let's go to bed. That is all water under the bridge. Make love to me sweetheart."
Christian picks her up and she wraps her legs around his waist and he pushes her up against the wall and takes possession of her mouth with his hungry lips. Licking, biting and sucking on her bottom lip.
Ana pushes her tongue into his mouth taking possession of his tongue and swirls her tongue around with his. She deepens the kiss and inhales him.
He has to pull away before he passes out.
He carries her to the couch and strips her in record time and himself.
"Bend over the couch my love. Do you want it hard or soft? In other words do you want me to fuck you or make love to you?"
"Fuck me then make love to me then fuck me agin."
"Very demanding aren't you?"
"Well my darlin you asked me."
"Yes angel I did and whatever you want is what we will do."
"Well then bend me over and fuck me."
Christian kisses her then turns her around and bends her over the couch and runs his hand down her back to her ass and in between her legs to her pussy that is already wet and hot. He runs his fingers down her lips and pushes one finger in then another one feeling how wet and ready she is. Her pussy is so hot he is afraid he will come as soon as he puts his dick into her.
"Be still my love. Please don't move, you are going to make me come too soon."
"Well then stop with the fingering and put that big cock in my pussy and fuck me."
"As you wish my love."
He leans back and then slides into her as she pushes back against his dick. He runs his fingers up and down her lips and pinches her clit. She screams and you can hear her all over the hotel.
"Shh my love you have to be quiet."
"How the hell do you expect me to be quiet with you fucking me like this. Ain't no way sugar no way at all."
Christian starts to fuck her faster and faster and she stays right wth him. They are fucking for all they are worth.
"Oh my god Boo I am going to come. Oh damn…oh…Chris…oh lordy…oh oh oh….I am coming Christian please love come with me now. I can't hold it…oh god,...oh oh ohhh Christian now dammit now."
"Oh my love I am coming right along with you . Feel how big mu dick has gotten in that hot wet pussy of yours. Oh..oh.. Ana..oh my god…Anannn I am coming my love. Fuck you are so damn beautiful I love you so much."
"Oh lord god that was…"
"Yes love it was…something else and lord a mercy Ana that was so damn powerful. I saw stars."
"I love you my darlin Christian so very much. Let's go to sleep. I have got to go and look at wedding dresses tomorrow."
"Goodnight angel I love you."
"I love you too Boo."
