ANA

"I asked you to delete the pictures and every time you said you had… every single time José, and I find you hadn't…"

"Ana…" He starts, but I don't give him the opportunity to justify his lies.

"Worse the pictures are part of your exhibit. I don't like being lied to, and you expect me to allow you to use my image… you clearly don't know me." Christian mockingly shivers in fear.

"You are right… I should have asked you before I did anything. I will not be using the pictures, and I hope you can forgive me." With that, I hang up.

"It's safe to say he'd still find a way to use those pictures," I mutter with a sigh.

"I don't doubt it, from what I hear the reception from the gallery owners to his work was lukewarm at best, then your pictures showed up in his slides and all of a sudden he's got the entire space to himself for a month." Christian scoffs.

"Can't say I blame them, it would be great publicity for them. It wouldn't surprise me if he told them we would be in attendance for his opening night." I add.

"That wouldn't surprise… now, what were we talking about before he called?" Christian grumbles.

"Kate and the interview," I answer with a chuckle.

"I will grant Kate the interview just to stop my PR department from walking out." I raise an eyebrow at him. "I wish it was a joke... the entire department was apparently up in arms over Kate and her hounding." I still don't believe a word of it. "Okay, not the entire department, but plenty… and by plenty, I mean about ten… seven… six… okay two people, but two very important people."

"Uh huh." Is my only response as I get back to my food. "So when is this interview?"

"Next month for the graduation issue. The way she hounded me I would have thought she needed it for a grade or something." He grumbles not that I'm paying much attention to him.

Of course, I was right in thinking José would still try to use my image in his exhibition, a month later and I find he's still lying to me. I'm not going to get into it with him, but the fact that he had the nerve to ask me out after knowing he's lying to me beggars belief. With my final done I pick up the college's newspaper and see Kate's interview with Christian on the front-page. Funny enough on the day itself Kate was sick as a dog and couldn't make it, but as Christian was coming down the following day, it wasn't a problem. I had to talk Kate out of asking Christian if he was gay. Kate's argument was that she couldn't think of any other reason why Christian hadn't made a move nor had she heard about him dating since she met him. The girl knows Christian isn't gay, but she was just hoping to light a fire up under his ass. If anyone needs to light anything under Christian, it's me and I will soon enough.

Grace meets us at the door with a warm welcome as always. "Ana dear, you look lovely as always." She gushes, and I help but think some day she really will be my mother… mother in law that is.

"Hi Grace, this is Kate." I introduce.

"Oh yes, Kate, we met briefly at your graduation, heard so much about you from Elliot." Look at Grace fighting Elliot's corner.

"Hey Christian." He looks a little nervous.

"Hey, Ana, beautiful as always." He says with a look I can't decipher... or dare I say lust.

"Not so bad yourself Grey." I hear a little screech up the stairs, and I know it's Mia

"Ana, Kate." I haven't seen her in so long and for once her loud, animated attitude is wholly welcome.

Sunday lunch at the Grey's is always a happy and loud affair especially with Mia back. Talk turns to SIP's offer, which I flat out turned down, not that I got a chance to say so. Christian being Christian jumps to the wrong conclusion. He quickly realizes his mistake and swiftly apologizes leaning in to give me a kiss on the cheek. It's obvious he wants to do more than just kiss my cheek. I place my hand on his thigh running my fingers up and down. He turns his head sharply looking at me, but I pay him no mind and carry on talking to Carrick.

I move my fingers up and grip his cock as best as I can, I feel his body go rigid next to me. I grip and stroke as much as I can through his jeans and realize he's quickly losing it. I have mercy on him and let go. I can feel the breath he releases on my skin. If that doesn't get the message across, I don't know what will.

The minute lunch is over, Mia drags us to her room and before the door shuts she starts. "Okay, you two have my brothers by their fucking balls, and I love them too much not to root for them… even though Elliot is an ass." She grumbles.

"Well, we all know how I feel about Christian and yet he seems blind to it," I tell her collapsing on her bed.

He still hasn't asked you out?" Mia bellows in disbelief. "What the hell is he waiting for?" she asks.

"I'm not waiting for him to ask… he knows what I want, and I know he wants it too." I say with a smile because I'm really I'm tired of waiting for Christian to grow a pair. If the rapid growth of his cock under my fingers was anything to go by, he wants me as desperately as I want him.

"I think that is best." Mia says earning a giggle from Kate and I. "And Elliot." She turns her attention on Kate.

"He's out of the doghouse." Is all she says, but the look on her face has me feeling sorry for Elliot.

"That boy's dick is about to fall off." Evidently, Mia saw it too.

When we finally exit Mia's room we run into Elliot who looks like he's been eavesdropping while waiting for Kate because he looks guilty as fuck. "Elliot," Kate says putting her hand out for him to take. The guys on the international space station can see the breath he blows out.

"Where is Christian?" I ask as Kate drags him towards his room.

"In his room." He says before disappearing into his room.

I knock on Christian's door, but he doesn't answer I open the door and realize he's asleep, which I will say is a surprise as he's not the napping type. I decide to get changed into one of his old t-shirts I use to sleep in, despite the years his shirts still make me look like an eight-year-old.

"You really do sleep like the dead." I tease, and he gets a determined look on his face.

"Ana, can we talk?" He asks.

"Not if you are going to stutter all over the place. It seems when it comes to asking me out your vocal chords turn to hit a few bumps." I say with a giggle as annoyed as I am at his hesitance.

"Okay, I deserve that. So you will go out with me." He finally manages… thank God.

"You haven't asked." He looks exasperated. Welcome to the fucking club.

"Ana will you go out with me."

"I need to think about it."

"Ana," He growls.

"Of course I will." I saunter towards him as he blatantly checks me out. There are no surreptitious looks here. I lean in and give him a chaste kiss. I could get used to this, his lips are surprisingly soft… he tastes so good. He pulls me closer to his body deepening the kiss, and I welcome it. I have thought about this moment since I realized I had fallen for him and I'm not waiting a moment longer.

He pushes his tongue into my mouth and mine welcomes his with urgency. Eventually, the need for breath forces me to pull away. My mouth is quickly back on his skin kissing the corner of his mouth down his jaw to his neck. I can help but suck on his skin, he taste incredible, I have often heard statements of the sort but never understood it till now. The human skin can really taste sweet.

I push him back on the bed and straddle his thighs I can feel his erection right where I want it and fuck do I want him. For a guy so hesitant and unsure of himself, he is not holding back giving me the confidence to take my shirt off. His admiration of my body sends a shiver down my spine. He runs his fingers over my nipple, and instinctively I push my breast further into his hands. Christian sits up and takes my nipple into his mouth. I couldn't tame the moan that left me even if my life depended on it. He sucks, nips and pulls on my nipple till I'm a writhing mess on top of him. His attention on my breast is relentless, unforgiving and fuck I love it. I am close to cuming, and he knows, in fact, I'd say that is what he's aiming for. When I cum, it's nothing like I'm used to and it takes me by surprise... so much so I lose all control of my body and have to hold on for dear life.

"Did you enjoy that?" He looks smug as fuck when I finally look at him.

"Yes, I've never cum that hard before." He stares in surprise.

"Miss Steele not as innocent as you look." I slap him on the chest. "So you can make yourself cum. Now that is something I would love to see." I must look mortified because he chuckles.

"No, no way I'd be too self-conscious to do that with you watching." I move on top of him to get comfortable but he rubs deliciously against me, and I can't help the whimper that leaves me. I want more of it and start to grind on his cock… fuck, it feels so good… so fucking good.

"Ana, fuck." He growls his fingers digging into my skin.

"Take my panties off." I moan.

"Ana." If he thinks I'm waiting he's got another thing coming. We both know where this is heading so why wait.

"Take the fucking panties off." With very little effort he rips it off, and fuck if that wasn't hot. I move backward and pull his boxers off, despite his initial protest he helps me take them off. I crawl back up his legs, and the minute I position his cock at my entrance he's back to protesting.

"Ana, you don't want to lose your virginity in my childhood bedroom." I roll my eyes at him.

"I want to lose it to you, where it happens matters little to me as long as it's with you." He nods and rolls us onto his back, spreads my legs further apart and slowly sinks into me. I feel a pinch and as much as I will like to say it doesn't hurt… it does. I shut my eyes and feel his lips on my eyelids as he mutters sorry over and over again.

"Can I move?" he asks, and I hear the effort it takes to do that. I will admit it's something of an ego booster to make him feel this good… my thoughts leave me entirely when he starts to thrust in and out of me. It's slow helping me get used to him

"Christian faster." That's it… just like that… he starts to move his strokes long and fast. I can't help the noise that leaves me. Fuck… it feels so great, too fucking... "Ohh... Christian, yes... oh god... yes." I want more, more of his large body on top of me bestowing my body with such pleasure. It was worth the wait… that is the final coherent thought I have before I fall apart under him. I can't make sense of anything, and I don't want to as I welcome the orgasm that goes through me.

"Oh God," He groans rolling off me, he stares at me with such love, I can't help but stroke his hair, then out of the blue, I start giggling.

"What's so funny?" He asks with a smile.

"I don't know... I just can't believe it happened. I lost my virginity to you." He looks worriedly at me, why I don't know. "I remember the fifteen-year-old that bumped into me. I never imagined it is where we would be years down the line."

"Me neither, but I'm glad it happened. I can't imagine my life without you in it." He says his fingers softly stroking my face.

"Me too, because Christian Grey I'm in love with you."

"I'm in love with you too, Anastasia Steele."

SEPTEMBER 10TH 2014

CHRISTIAN

I'm not particularly keen on going to my parents for lunch, but we do have to drop Teddy off for a couple of days, and mommy dearest is using that as an excuse to keep Ana and me there. These days all conversation topic revolves around Mia's wedding, and I can't take it anymore. Just tell me the date, and I show up and do my bit, I don't need to know all the ins and outs of her wedding… yes, she's my sister so what. If I wasn't that interested in Elliot's why should I be interested in hers? That statement earned me the silent treatment from her, why she thought her not talking to me would affect me in any way… only she knows. I was grateful for the silence, and so was Ana even though she won't admit it.

"Hey, daydreamer we are here." Ana teases as Taylor pulls into my parent's driveway.

"I can't wait for this to be over," I mumble as she gets Teddy out of the car seat.

"You and me both." She says, and I will admit I am surprised by it. Usually, she's having a go at me for such comments. "You know if I had thought about it earlier we could have dropped Teddy off at dad's and he could have brought him over when he came." She adds.

"Nah, he wouldn't because he would never hear the end of it and we both know it," I mumble, and she sighs in resignation.

"Now, do me a favor and wipe that wide grin off your face. We aren't exactly thrilled to be here so act like it. It's my birthday I had plans, and your mom's insistence is eating into my day." She grumbles.

"Kind of hard to look glum when we have another kid on the way. Let's not forget the super sperm that made that happen." I add.

"If it means that much to you, you can always keep the sperm stored up in your balls. I mean... you are such a thoughtful husband you make sure I cum before you do so it wouldn't be much of a problem." She struggles to keep a straight face when she says that.

"Uh huh... you do know this forced lunch is really a birthday celebration, albeit with just family. I think it will be bearable if there is chocolate cake."

"Tae." Teddy squeals as he runs to the front door, which is opened by my mother as usual. My boy and I are in sync when it comes to chocolate cake or as he calls it tae.

"Hello Teddy, how are you?" Mom barely gets her words before Teddy disappears down the hall. "Good luck with that boy," Mom says giving Ana a hug.

"Don't be surprised if one of these days we don't come back for him," I mumble earning a glare from Ana.

"Jokes, woman… it was just a joke." I defend.

"I know you two have plans, but why don't you come in for a minute let everyone wish you a happy birthday, and then you can go." There is a God in heaven.

And that is exactly what we did. We walked in everyone wished Ana a happy birthday with a champagne toast. With her pregnant it was a little tricky, she pretended to take a sip and quickly put the glass down. A quick hello to Ava and a goodbye to Teddy and we were out of there.

After an afternoon out on the water I thought Ana would want to spend the evening in, but no she wants to go out and enjoy herself before the morning sickness kicks in. I will admit I'm not thrilled with that part of pregnancy. Ana's case is so severe it leaves me a worried mess and worse there isn't much I can do except hold her hair and rub her back. We exit the elevator and Ana smiles at me, and I can't help but return it. "What are you thinking about?" I ask as we approach the maître d who sighs in frustration and I know he has given my private table away.

"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Grey… could you please give me a minute to clear your table. The guests understood it was likely to happen and since we just sat them it's not an issue." Just as I thought.

That's fine." Ana says before I can say anything. "Anyway I was thinking about the last time we were here on a birthday, and I believe I was pregnant then too."

"I also remember having my way with you in the…" the maître d walks up Senator Blandino with his wife and family in tow.

"Grey..." Blandino greets warmly as though I've forgotten he tried to interfere in my business because I wouldn't hire his daughter after she walked out.

"This man is no longer allowed here under any circumstance," I growl staring him down. The only response I get is a gasp from his wife and daughter, they know without my family's support it is unlikely Blandino will win a reelection.

Ana and I walk past them to our booth. Olivia does the sensible thing and avoids eye contact… I'm surprised I remembered her name. "Would you like a bottle of wine? We have..." The maître d starts.

"No wine…" I turn my attention to Ana. "I will have the steak with baby potatoes and roasted vegetables."

"I'll have the same," Ana says.

"Excellent, be right with you." He starts to leave but stops. "I'm sorry about…"

"No need it's understandable, but that man irks me to no end… you didn't know that." I understand when it comes to certain people my table will be given away, it happens.

Ana drapes her legs over my thigh, and my ire when it comes to a particular Senator is forgotten. I turn my body and lean in close. "If this is a repeat of the last time… then we are kicking things up a notch.

Her answer is to pull me in for a kiss, her tongue pushes its way into my mouth. She angles her head getting the max out of this kiss, my tongue dances with hers. Her fingers find their way to my dick and start stroking. I have a handful of breast... kneading, squeezing... "Fuck." I groan when she unzips my trousers and wraps her fingers around my dick and start stroking. "Ana... baby... if this carries on I will be fucking you here." I groan although it's pointless as I'm ready to blow.

"I thought we were kicking this up a notch." She purrs in my ears before licking the shell.

Fuck, I did say that.

"MAMA." Teddy screeches causing his little sister to jump and whimper. Ana coos softly at her, and she settles immediately.

"Quiet voice… remember we talked about this." He nods his head and getting on his tippy toes to get a better look at Phoebe.

"Teddy, this is your little sister, Phoebe," Ana says with a smile though I can tell she's tired. I help Teddy up onto the bed, and he stares at her. As if sensing her brother Phoebe opens her eyes though she can't yet focus.

"Phee…. be." He whispers then looks up at me. "Bwother." He says pointing to himself.

"Yes you are, you are a big brother, and it's your job to protect her from all other boys…"

"Christian," Ana says in warning.

"Knock knock." Mom calls out opening the door.

"Nana… Phee… be." He says all smiles.

"Yes," Mom says coming over to get a look at her. "Another grandbaby… oh, it is too precious." Ana hands Phoebe over and settles into the bed. I know she will be asleep soon.

Soon the room is filled with family fussing over our baby. I sit next to Ana and Teddy and watch the beaming smiles on everyone's face. "I love you, thank you for a life I only ever thought would be a dream. Thank you for having your head buried so far in a book you didn't see where you were going. Thank you for saving my life." I say stroking her cheek.

"I love you too, so much, and by the way, we are never having sex again." She mumbles before closing her eyes. I laugh knowing in a few weeks I'd be fighting her off me.

AN: Two and a half years later we have finally reached the end. Thank you for reading. CJ.
