CHAPTER 32
(Christian's POV)
As we lay together after our blissful love making, I embrace the moment of finally having Ana back in my arms.
"Ana, how are you doing?"
"Good … now that you are back where you belong." Ana says with a smile.
"I'm sorry Ana, please for..." I start saying with sadness before she starts cutting me off.
"Please don't apologize; I'm the one who should be apologizing." Ana replies with sadness.
"Since we don't agree on this, how about neither of us apologizes."
"Fair enough... But, I'm sorry the deal fell through." Ana says with sadness and guilt.
"I don't want you taking blame for that Ana! When I first realized all the trouble it was causing, I should have backed off. My need for winning got the best of me that it even almost cost me losing Ros. Even as they were willing to go through the deal with me canceling the trip, I wanted nothing to do with it, it felt tainted already. I made the right choice and I have no regrets letting it go." I say with a smile.
"Let's make a pinkie swear ... no matter how upset we are at each other, we have to put those feelings aside if either of us have to leave on a trip. If either of us break this pinkie swear, I can't read for a month and you have to drive in a rental car, like a Ford Focus, everywhere you go for a month as well." Ana says with a smile.
"I don't care how angry I am with you, I will not break that pinkie swear. Not only because I would rather walk to work or anywhere else I need to go, but because I love you too much." I reply with a light kiss on Ana's lips.
We both pinkie swear our promise to each other, along with a soft delicate kiss.
"When are you leaving to your mom's?" I sadly say as I play with her hair.
"About that ... I decided I'm not reading to talk to my mother right now, but I still need to be there Monday and Tuesday. It was supposed to be a surprise, but I would love for you to go with me, even if I won't be available most of the day. I am planning on taking the Bar test." Ana says with a small smile.
"Are you serious? I had no clue you had two majors. I am so proud of you. It would be my honor to accompany you Ms. Steele. You are so good at making me fall in love with you more and more without even trying." I say with a big smile.
"Wait till my father finds out, I am going to have to fight him for your time when we visit. He finally has someone in the family to follow his footsteps. We always thought Mia would follow in his footsteps, but she said she couldn't even imagine wearing those boring suits every day." I say with laughter.
"Did you eat dinner?" I ask as I lightly touch her face with my fingers. I have a feeling I know the answer, so I prepare myself to understand.
"No, but I am hungry now. Would you eat with me?" Ana replies with her eyes closed, enjoying my touch.
"It would be my pleasure and then we can enjoy each other for dessert." I whisper into her ear.
I feel the hardness between my thighs urging my brain to have dessert first, but Ana's health always comes before my needs. Ana growls as we get up from wanting the same as me. We finally came to an agreement that we would leave on Saturday, so Ana could stay home on Friday and study. I wanted to stay with her, but we both knew we would be too distracted with each other. I was ecstatic that Ana allowed me to get her refund back into her account since we were taking the plane and staying at the apartment I already had for years. I know she only agreed due the guilt she was still feeling, but at least she got her money back. I love how independent she is, but it also drives me crazy that I can't support her the way I would love to. I decided that that morning to contact Ray on my own so I can arrange to meet with him to ask for permission for his daughter's hand. I laugh to myself as I thought I never had it in me to be a hearts and flowers type of man. Well, I am only for Ana and no one else though. Ray was only available for a short time, so I ended up taking Charlie Tango instead of working. I was surprised that I was seriously nervous on his reaction. It's not like it would prevent us from getting married if he didn't agree, especially when it was Ana who proposed to me first. I can't stop smiling to myself as I think back of that wonderful day. I know Taylor is probably thinking I lost a marble or two since I have been in such a good mood today. A car is already waiting for us and we are now headed towards Ray's house. I take a deep breath and I knock on the door.
"Mr. Grey, please come inside."
"Hello Mr. Steele." I reply confident, but feeling like the total opposite.
"Please sit, would you like something to drink?" Ray asks politely.
"No thank you." I reply.
"So what is the purpose of this visit without my daughter?" Ray asks without emotion and suspiciously.
"I first wanted to let you know that I love your daughter with all my heart. I wanted to ask for her hand in marriage." I admit honestly and hidden nerves that I am trying to control.
"Do you now? Why the rush Mr. Grey? Is there more to this than you are informing me? Did you get my daughter pregnant?" Ray asks looking straight at me.
"Oh God no ... we just love each other and I want to spend the rest of my life with her." I say in a panic.
"I see ... now that I see your reaction about having children, is this what Ana should expect from you if she accidental got pregnant?" Ray asks with anger and concern.
"I don't think so ... I mean of course not." I reply in a panic.
"Well ... which is it, because you do not sound very convincing right now. I'm very protective of my daughter and I only want her to be happy. Just remember, no matter her age Mr. Grey, I will always look out for my daughter." Ray says in a warning voice.
"I understand Mr. Steele, but I would never hurt Ana." I reply with a straight face, meaning every word.
"Just because we love someone doesn't mean we sometimes act without thinking. I just want to inform you that even though my daughter may be forgiving ... I am not." Ray says with a straight face.
"I understand Mr. Steele." I reply.
I am more than aware of the threat without Ray having to say directly to me.
"You do realize that Ana comes here one weekend a month and that is something that will always continue. Don't assume it will stop because of marriage or anything else that comes along." Ray says with a stern voice.
"I understand Mr. Steele." I say with understanding.
"As long as we are on the same page on how to treat my daughter and you never hurt her, especially years from now, by becoming weak and start cheating because of your wealth and woman offering anything you wish at you; I have no problem with it. I will say this one time Mr. Grey, the day I find out you have hurt my daughter due to thinking with your dick instead of your heart, will be the day you will become missing and never found again. I will shove it up your ass after I cut it off, making sure you suffer for hours. Don't think that once I pass away the threat no longer exists; I have made sure I have a backup for my presence. Do we have an understanding? Walk away now if you have any doubts Mr. Grey and I won't think bad of you." Ray says firmly.
"Mr. Steele ... we are on the same page and I would give up everything I own to marry your daughter." I reply with honesty.
Ray suddenly stands up and I follow his movements, having no clue on what is about to happen.
"Welcome to the family Christian and please call me Ray." Ray says with a smile and pats me on the back a little hard.
I am now returning home and talk about being in a stressful environment. My past mergers that would last for months seem like a walk in the park compared to this. I am still beyond happy at this moment. I notice Taylor smirking since we left Ray's house.
"What is it Taylor? What has you smirking?" I ask with a smirk myself.
"Just that I hope you realize that he means every word that came out of his mouth. I have seen some tough ones out there, but nothing like Mr. Steele. Also, if Ms. Steel is anything like her father; I think Mr. Steele wouldn't get the opportunity due to Ms. Steele beating him to it." Taylor says in laughter.
"Thanks Taylor ... I'm glad to see you always have my back." I reply with laughter.
We finally arrive back home and I can't wait to see Ana. I kept my promise that I would not interrupt her as she stayed home studying. I start to panic when I can't find her anywhere. I run to the kitchen and I see Gail making dinner.
"Where is Ana?" I ask in a panic.
"Ms. Steele is down stairs in the gym. She has been studying all day and wanted to relax before dinner." Gail says with a smile.
The panic disappears and I go down stairs to find my future wife. I quietly watch Ana from the door. I watch her kick and punch the punching bag with so much force. She looks sexy as hell as she works out in those short tight shorts. I feel the tightness already becoming uncomfortable. She has the music on loud and her hits are getting harder. I start to worry knowing she will be bruised. I thought the hits I take towards during my workouts were hard. She suddenly stops and puts her hands on her knees as she takes a breath. The way her ass is sticking out of shorts is making it are hard not to cum at this moment. Without thinking I walk behind her and start to wrap my arms around her and suddenly I feel her elbow hit my ribs and I after that I find myself on the floor.
"Oh Shit ... baby I am so sorry." Ana says out loud as she checks on me.
"It was my fault; I shouldn't have sneaked up on you like that." I say in laughter trying to hide the pain.
Even with the pain, I am turned on even more. Ignoring the pain, I pull her towards me and I kiss her deeply.
"Are you serious Christian?" Ana asks as she catches her breathe and laughing.
"I'm fine ... I need you baby." I say before I kiss her again.
Ana starts responding the same way as I lie on the floor. She starts kissing my neck and I am moaning trying to hold on as long as I could. She kisses my ribs lightly and looking up to see how I respond.
"Ana, I need you now ... please." I plead with her.
I feel Ana pull down her short shorts and she takes off my pants. She sits on me and slams into me without notice. I growl out from wanting her so badly. Ana continues to fuck me hard and pushes harder and I feel myself not able to hold on anymore. We both release calling each other's names. She lightly lies on top as she relaxes.
"Damn ... that was good." I say as I rub her back.
Ana gets up and looks at me with a smile.
"I agree ... how is the rib baby?" Ana asks concerned but with a look of satisfaction on her face.
"It's all good now." I say with a grin as I massage her breast.
"Come on baby, you are worse than a hormonal teenager. Dinner should be ready." Ana says as she helps me up.
We both get dress and I rub on my rib without thinking. Ana lifts up my shirt and looks at my rib.
"You're already bruising, but you should be fine." Ana says as she lightly pats it when she pulls my shirt down.
"Be gentle baby ... I'm wounded." I say with a smirk.
"I'll nurse you back to health after dinner. I guess that nurse outfit will come in handy after all." Ana says as she rubs me between my thighs.
"Oh baby, I think I need to be nursed now." I whisper with a moan.
"Nope ... food first." Ana says with laughter as she reaches for her workout pants.
I watch her pull her pants on and I feel myself getting hard again.
"Woman you're killing me." I moan in frustration.
"It's alright; I'll be nursing you back to health later on." Ana says as she slaps my ass.
We start eating and she tells me that her study session went well. I remember about Ray.
"I forgot to tell you ... I have a surprise for you." I say with excitement.
"What did you buy me now?" Ana asks with annoyance.
"This surprise was free." I say with a smile.
"Good, what is it then?" Ana asks excited.
"You are probably the only woman to get excited when a man says they spent no money on their surprise." I say with a smile.
"I didn't go into work today. I was at Ray's asking for your hand." I say with a big smile.
"Did you Mr. Grey? He didn't succeed in scaring you away?"
"He tried, but did not succeed."
"Your dad can be quite intimidating though, but either way, nothing or nobody can keep me from wanting to marry you." I reply honestly.
"Do you still want to wait until we speak to your mom before we can start planning the wedding?" I ask with understanding.
"We can start now, I hate waiting as well. Your sister is taking care of it, so be prepared for her call" Ana laughs out loud.
"Are you sure you want Mia to be in charge of everything?" I ask with concern knowing my sister can be a handful at times.
"I trust her and I promised her she could. I am not the shopping type and she has better taste with that kind of stuff than I would." Ana says with laughter.
"Have I told you how much I love you lately?" I whisper in her ear.
"I can't recall, but you can show me as I nurse you back to health." Ana says as she rubs my thigh.
Ana puts our dishes in the dish washer and takes my hand leading me to a clean bill of health.
