Ch. 21 Teddy's Dilemma

Ana’s POV

I hand Teddy over to Grace. Sawyer is a few steps behind me. Teddy is taken to a hospital room. His face is swollen around his left eye, and forehead.  He cannot open his left eye due to the swelling. 

Grace asks me, “Ana have you been outside today?” Why would she ask me that?

I am about to answer her when Christian plunges into the room. He looks distraught. His hair is a mess. He has been running his hands through it.  He takes a look at Teddy and blurts out, “What the hell happened to him? He looks like he was beat up!” 

I walk closer to him and touch his arm. “Christian we don’t know yet. I am sure he will get the best care possible with Grace. Please let Grace, the doctors, and nurses do their job. He will be fine.”  I hope I convinced him that Teddy will be okay, because I really don’t know if he will be. I just want to calm him down so he doesn’t interfere with the hospital staff trying to help our son.

What I said seemed to quiet him down. I turn to Grace so I can answer her question. “We were outside in the backyard this morning. Why did you ask me that question?”

She answers me, “I think he got bit by some sort of insect in which he is allergic to. Let me show you.” She points to one little hole in the eye and forehead area. I see it. They are so tiny. I have no idea if he is allergic to any insect. We will have to take him to a specialist after we get through this.

We stand behind Grace as she examines his face. She presses the bulging skin asking Teddy if it hurts. He nods his head side to side. It doesn’t hurt him. At least my little baby is not in pain.

She tells us, “Since he is not feeling any pain when I touch it, it is not too bad at this point. I still want to make sure his vision won’t get impaired because of the swelling. I want him to have x-ray done to check his eye. I will have someone take him to the x-ray in a few minutes. You two can go with him.”

Grace leaves us alone in the room. Christian hugs and kisses me. He holds his hands against his heart while telling me,” “Oh baby, I was so worried when you called me earlier. It hurts me right here when our little boy gets hurt.”

“Me too, baby. I was so scared and worried when I first saw his face. I am happy it is not that serious. I still want to have him checked by an allergist to see if he is allergic to anything. I don’t want this to happen again.”  I say to him.

He holds my hands and says, “Baby, I wish I could take all your worries away. I would give you the world if that is what I have to do, but I know when it comes to Teddy there is not much we can do. I agree with you, my love. I will ask my mom which allergist she recommends to take Teddy to. I will make an appointment as soon as possible once he is released from the hospital. I also don’t want his face or anywhere else on his little body to get swollen.”

Kate, Elliot, and Ava make their appearance. Kate comes over and hugs me. “How is he doing Ana?”

“He seems to be okay for now. Grace has scheduled for an x-ray for him. After that we should know more. I am sorry our lunch date was cut short. I will make it up to you. We can have a me day without the kids at a spa. What do you think?”

“I would love that Ana. Hey, it is not your fault it was cut short. Teddy’s health takes precedence over it. I would do the same if it was Ava. I am so relieved Teddy is okay. Hang in there my friend. I will be here for you if you need anything.”

Aww! Kate is so sweet! I hugged her to show her how much I value our friendship.

Grace walks in the with the x-ray specialist. Christian and I follow them to the x-ray room. He takes the x-rays of Teddy’s eye. Teddy is so well behaved during it. I am so impressed. That is my boy!

We are back in the hospital room within 10 minutes. Dr. Andre placed the x-ray sheets in front of a lighted wall.  He examined them. After he was done he turned around to us and said, “It looks like the eye will not be impacted. Once the swelling goes down, his eye will be back to normal. He will not have any vision problems. I have seen many types of inflammation and from my estimation it looks like a mosquito bite. This little guy might me allergic to mosquitoes. I will give him some Benadryl and Cortizone to reduce the swelling. I want to keep him in here for a few hours to make sure the inflammation goes down.  If it does decrease, you can go home. At home give him Benadryl and Cortizone every four hours for one week by mouth. If it doesn’t decrease then we will have to keep him overnight. Okay?” He hands us a prescription for Cortizone.

We both nod at the doctor. Grace reassures us by saying, “Ana and Christian, it will be okay. With the medicine it will go down. Trust me. I have to attend to other patients, but I will be back soon to check on Teddy.”

Christian walks to the hallway to inform Kate, Elliot, Cary, Mia, Ethan, Taylor, and Sawyer of Teddy’s condition.

Christian’s POV

I tell Kate, my family, Taylor, and Sawyer, “Teddy will be okay. His inflammation should go down in a few hours. He has to be on medication for one week. His eye will be fine.” Their faces eased up from the tension of our ordeal.

I am so proud of my strong little boy. He has not fussed once when he is being pronged and pinched by the doctors. I feel as if a weight has been lifted when Dr. Andre said he will recover with no side effects. The only thing that disturbed me was when he was eyeing my wife. I saw him glance at her a few times checking her out. She is mine!  I will be the only one who will touch and pleasure her. 

Teddy’s face looks so bad. The inflammation will fucking reduce or else some heads will be chopped in this hospital. I will become more than furious.

My extraordinarily beautiful wife has been supportive, nurturing, and strong throughout the situation. She has kept her head help up high for Teddy’s and my sake, but I know she is hurting inside. I can read her like a book.  I sit next to her on the bed and hold her hand. Teddy is holding Ana’s hand.  

All I want to do right now is fuck my wife so I feel in control again. After a long day of work, fucking my wife every night comforts me. I must get these thoughts out of my head or else I may just take my wife to an empty room and fuck her senseless.

After a Few Hours

Ana’s POV

The doctor comes into our room. He examines Teddy’s face for the third time in the past few hours.  Dr. Andre lets us know he is happy with Teddy’s progress. The swelling has gone down.  He leaves us alone in the room. I am so overjoyed to hear the news Dr. Andre told us. I can tell Christian is also happy. He has a megawatt smile on his face. We hug each other.

I will call Kate to let her know we are going home soon. She went home a little while ago with Elliot and Ava. Cary, Mia, Ethan also left early. I pick up my phone and dial her. After the third ring she picks up.

“Hi Ana.”

“Hi Kate”

She asks me, “How is Teddy?”

I answer her, “He is doing much better. We are going home soon.”

“I am so happy Ana.”

“Me too Kate. I have to go. We will talk later.”

“Okay, bye Ana. Talk to you later. Laters”

“Laters, Kate.”

Grace joins us once I hang up the phone with Kate. He told her the great news.

Grace informs us, “Ana and Christian, Teddy will be discharged in about 15 minutes.  I already called Cary to let him know.”

Christian says, “About time we leave this place! Mom do you recommend an allergist for Teddy?”

Grace answers, “I have a few good ones, but there is one I really like. His name is Dr. Raul Lunn. I will give you his information tomorrow. I just want you to get Teddy home so all three of you can rest. I will be by the house tomorrow to check on Teddy.” She kisses us both on the cheek and leaves the room.

Once we are discharged we head home. When we arrive home Christian takes Teddy out of his car seat. We walk into the house with Sawyer and Taylor keeping an eye out for suspicious activities. 

We enter the house and head towards Teddy’s room. Christian places him gently on his bed. The Benadryl knocked him out.

We stroll hip to hip to our bedroom. In our bedroom I take off my clothes and put on my teddy pajamas. Christian is watching me like a hawk as I am undressing.  He already has no clothes on.  I look down towards his torso and someone is already excited.

“Mr. Grey, do you like what you see?”

He grabs his pecker while saying, “Mrs. Grey, I do like what I see. This guy right here also likes it.”

“Mr. Grey, I know of a way to make the pecker happy. Come here.”

He hurries over to me.  He presses his body against mine and kisses me passionately leading us to get lost in each other.

After our love making, we fall asleep.

Ch. 20 Present Day

After our stroll on memory lane, Gail is finished preparing our lunch for us.  She made us turkey artichoke Panini sandwiches.  We sit on the stools in the breakfast bar. Gail leaves us to ourselves. Teddy and Ava fell asleep.

While we are eating, Kate goes straight to the point. “Mrs. Steele, I want to know more about the kinkiness that you experience with Mr. Control Freak. So spill it!” She will never change. Her inquisitive nature is who she is, but I still love her.

How am I going to tell her without going into all the details which I don’t want her to know? Those details are only for mine and Christian’s eyes. I signed the NDA before we got married and it still stands as part of our marriage. I had to ask Christian if it was okay to tell her a little about his lifestyle and what happened to us when she found the Dom/sub contract in Christian’s jacket a few years ago. Christian agreed with me since she was my best friend and she could keep a secret. She knows about the red room of pleasure, but has never seen it. It will remain that way. Only Christian, myself, and our staff are allowed in there. She is getting impatient with me, because I haven’t answered her yet.

“Kate, I will be honest with you. I cannot tell you everything we do because they are our private moments.  I also will never be able to show you our red room which you know a little about. All I can say about it is our place to getaway and role play. With that said would you like to know what I can tell you?”

She rolled her eyes and said, “Ana, I understand you and Christian have your privacy. I also have mine as well with Elliot.  With all due respect, I do not want to know more about the red room nor see it. You have my word.  I respect your wishes, but it doesn’t mean I won’t try to get the information from you some other time. I am just kidding.” She winks at me. She didn’t fight me on it. She is becoming a softie. What happened to my Kate? I know she will appear at some time again. She shouldn’t roll her eyes in front of Christian. He doesn’t like that. I like rolling my eyes though, because I get a very sensual spanking with hot sex as a bonus.

I will try to explain to the best I can. “Christian knows my body very well. He knows when I am angry, turned on, sad, and so on.  When we have all types of sex, he knows what my limits are which he respects. We role play very frequently in and out of the red room. Role playing and using the sex toys spices up our sex life. It makes it more intense.”

“Ana, I cannot believe you are more experienced than me. I definitely would like to roll play with Elliot. Do you have any sex toys here you can show me? Which ones do you recommend for me as a starter?”

“Kate, I have some sex toys hidden in a secret compartment in our bedroom. I will bring some out. I know the perfect toys you could start with. Stay right here.”

 

I walk over to our bedroom and open the compartment. Once I am done grabbing some of the toys, I put it in a bag made for them. I check on Teddy to make sure he is still asleep. I wouldn’t want him startling us with the toys in our hands. With his curiosity he will want to touch them and ask what they are. How would I explain them to him? He is sleeping like a baby. I go back to Kate in the living room.

Kate gives me an inquisitive smirk. She is speechless with anticipation as I start to open up the bag.  She has surprised me again today. A speechless Kate!

The first item I pull out is the Kegel balls.  “Kate, these are Kegel Balls. It strengthens the pelvic muscles for improved orgasms. You have to lubricate them before you insert in yourself.  When you have them on for a few hours while you make any type of movement, it stimulates you to the point of having an orgasm. I wore them on many occasions in and out of our house. I recommend highly recommend them for you.”

“You used these in public? Wow, you are brave! What else do you have in there?” She is acting like a toddler receiving Christmas presents.

“Yes Kate I did use it in public. Wearing them made my orgasms last longer. You have to try it.”

The next item is the nipple clamps. “These are nipple clamps. They come in a variety of styles. There are some that even that vibrate. It doesn’t hurt when you clamp them on your nipples. Here, let me show you.” I clamp it on her finger to show her.

She says, “You are right. It doesn’t hurt. I like it. Do you have the vibrating one and other styles? It must feel good on the nipples.”

I answer her, “Yes, we have many styles even the vibrating one. We have used them all. It arouses your nipples helping come quicker.”

I pull out the fur lined handcuffs and place it in her hands. She feels the soft fur around the cuffs.  I tell her, “As you see, what you are holding are handcuffs. The feathers help so your skin won’t burn or bruise. It actually tickles your wrists. The reason you would use them is so you won’t be able to touch your partner. He will be able to torture you in a sensual way heightening your body’s senses and orgasm. If you wear a blindfold and earphones with music resonating in your ears while you are handcuffed, all of your senses are heightened.  Your body will feel every caress as if it was dancing in tune on your skin and it will feel as if you are burning with desire like a fire.  When he enters you as you are hearing the music, your release will feel as if it is exploding like fireworks.”

Kate is so excited. “The way you described it makes me want to experience it, Ana. I see why you are bewitched by Christian and take his crap.”

“Kate, I don’t take his crab. I am not afraid him. I know how to handle him. Inside he is a like a lost puppy who only wants to feel love. Yes he is a powerful CEO. When he goes all CEO on me, I go all CEO on him as well. He does have control issues. I don’t think he will ever get over it. We still fight over it, but I win most of the times.”

Kate apologizes, “Ana, I didn’t mean it that way. I am sorry.”

“It is okay Kate. I know you didn’t mean it. Are you ready for the next item?” She nods her head.

As I am about to bring out the miniature flogger, I hear Teddy waking up from his nap on the baby monitor.  “Well Kate, our fun is over. I have to go get Teddy.”

“It is alright Ana. We will leave it for another time.”

I walk to Teddy’s room and he leaps out of his bed into my arms. I am going to kiss his cheek when I see his face. What happened to his face? I have to take him to the hospital.

I shout out to Kate, “Call Grace and tell her we are going to the hospital right now!”

 I run downstairs holding him in my arms protecting him. I grab my purse, phone, and Teddy’s bag while Kate calls Grace.

“Grace we are going to the hospital at this moment. ………It is his face…. Okay. We will call Christian on the way there…..Thank you Grace.”

Sawyer is already at the door waiting for us at the elevator. Kate has Ava cradled in her arms. She will follow us to the hospital.

In the car, I call Christian. “Christian we are heading to the hospital. There is something wrong with Teddy’s face.”

“Ana I am on my way. Is he okay?” I hope Christian does not go nuclear on me.

“He seems fine except for how his face looks like. Kate already called Grace informing her we are on our way. I don’t know what happened. His face was fine before his nap.”

“Okay Ana. I love you!” Phew! That went well. We will see when he sees him at the hospital.

“I love you Christian!”

I hang up the phone.  I hold Teddy’s hand to comfort him.

Christian’s POV

I am in the middle of a meeting with an Argentine company that creates software for all types of technology. The owners name is Walter. I am trying to buy them out. The owner is not fucking budging. He wants more money. I will not pay more, because they have had a major loss financially due to the owners negligent. He placed his own interests above of his company. He spent an absurd amount of money in unimportant things.  It gets me so fucking angry when the owner of a company does not value his employees and his own company. I am trying to control my anger towards him as much as I can.

My phone suddenly rings. I answer it and it is Ana. She does not give me a chance to say hi.

In her worried voice she says, “Christian we are heading to the hospital. There is something wrong with Teddy’s face.”

What the fuck happened to him? My little boy! I excuse myself from the meeting in a hurry. I don’t care what Walter thinks my family comes first. Ros can take over.

I am going to my car to drive to the hospital. “Ana I am on my way. Is he okay? What happened?” Please let him be okay. I don’t think I can handle anything bad happening to my Teddy bear.

She answers me, “He seems fine except for how his face looks like. Kate already called Grace informing her we are on our way. I don’t know what happened. His face was fine before his nap.”  I can sense Ana is so worried about our little boy. I am also worried, but I have to play it cool. I cannot get angry.

“Okay Ana. I love you!” I do love her! She is a great mother and wife.

“I love you Christian!” She declares her love for me. I love it when she says she loves me. All I want to do is protect her and Teddy bear.  I feel so out of control, because I couldn’t protect my Teddy today.

I am almost reaching the hospital.

Grace’s POV

I am waiting for Ana to arrive with Teddy. I hope it is nothing serious. As a doctor I can handle patients, but when anyone in my family gets hurt I lose it. I play my part as a doctor but deep down my heart aches.

I hope Christian does not overreact and yell at the staff.  I always have to apologize to them after for Christian.

When I Kate called me I asked her,”What happened to him?” She said it was his face. My poor grandson.  I told Kate I already have a room and staff ready for Teddy.

I see Ana run over to me with Teddy in her arms. Oh my gosh!  His face looks horrible.

Ch. 19 Christian and Ana's Wedding Night

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Christian and Ana's Wedding - July 30, 2011

Christian’s POV
I wake up in the morning in our bed alone. I don’t like sleeping alone. I love sleeping next to Ana. She makes my nightmares go away. I sleep better with her by my side. She is my wake up call. What a wakeup call it is!  Making love to her in the mornings is just what I need to keep me going in the M&A world. My cock twitches just thinking about it. I also miss her sweet sarcastic full lips of hers which lock on mine every morning.  I cannot resist them especially when she bites her bottom lip. When she does that my cock becomes erect immediately. For fucks sake! Her sexy voice, perfectly sculptured body, and smart mouth turn me on. It takes all of my might to restrain myself from attacking her in public.

Today it is going to be harder, because I now she will look so beautiful. She always is beautiful in my eyes. Not only will her beauty resonate, she will become my wife today. She will be mine forever. No matter what life brings us, she will be the love of my life. I will never hurt her ever again. Those five days of agony I felt when she left me after I hit her with the belt was pure hell.

Every woman in this world can try to seduce me. Even if they look like my Ana, they won’t get very far, because there is only one Ana. She will be the one who I will wake up and sleep with every day of my life. My heart belongs to her forever. No other woman compares to her. She accepted and loved me with all of my fifty shades.

I have the whole day to myself. I guess I will get some work done and get ready later. Taylor will take me to my mom’s house at about 4 pm. I miss Ana so much. I hope she misses me too. I will text her how I feel.

Ana’s POV

The sun streaming through the window is making my sleepy eyes squint. It takes me a few minutes to adjust to the brightness. I touch the empty pillow beside me. Oh how I wish I was sleeping with Christian right now. He would have bit my earlobe gently while massaging my breasts to wake me up for some hot vanilla sex. His sensuous lips would be on mine invading my tongue.

My sex is getting wet just thinking about our morning exercise.

Who am I kidding? His muscular body, eyes, touch, and seductive voice soaks my sex. I always have to carry extra panties with me in case I wet them with my wetness or Christian tears them off in our heated moments.

Thank god we don’t travel on public airplanes. If we did, it would be funny to explain to the security scanner personnel about the panties in my purse. “Yes (ma’am, sir), I have them with me at all times, because my husband’s sex appeal soaks my underwear’s. Often at times, he will rip them off of me in the process of having sex.” The paparazzi would have a field day with it. It would be quite a headline in the papers.

When we are in public places together, I have to control myself from jumping his bones. Today he will look extra handsome. So my urges will have to take a hold until tonight. I will be forever faithful to hi m. I love him with all of my heart. I am sure many women will try to seduce my husband to be, but I will make sure he won’t ever be tempted to stray. I will meet all of his needs. I will show him how much I love him every single day of our lives. I am sure life will bring us up’s and down’s but together we will beat them all.

I have a busy day ahead of me today. Luke will pick Kate and me up in about an hour to head over to Grace’s house. Franco will also be there for a few hours to make us girls look pretty. Liz will arrive around the same time I arrive at her house. She will make all the final preparations today.

I miss Christian. I wonder if he misses me. I hear the familiar ping on my phone. It is a text message from Christian. He can truly read my mind even from far away.

x I miss you. I wish you were on this bed with me. Love, soon to be husband x

He misses me!

x I miss you too. I also with I was beside you. Love, the future Mrs. Grey x

x I love the sound of Mrs. Grey. I will be counting the hours until I see you tonight.  Love you, your soon to be loving husband x

 

He is so sweet when he wants to be.  I love him so much!

x I also love the sound of Mrs. Grey. The hours will not go by fast enough for me. I will also count them. Love you, soon to be loving wife x

Shorty after Kate and I eat breakfast Luke takes us to Grace’s house. Franco spends hours prepping up our hair and applying our makeup. Meanwhile Liz looks like an energizer bunny running nonstop around Grace’s house preparing it for the special event.

My hair is in a modern, sophisticated, and romantic updo style. A few wavy strands of hair lay loosely on my face. Tied knots run along the top of my head pulling into a bun at the back of my head.

Mia, and Kate’s hair is pulled up to a classic bun with small white roses surrounding the bun.

Grace and Carla’s hair look very beautiful.  The classic chignon updo makes them look glamorous.

Before my mom helps me put on my wedding dress, viel, and necklace, I make sure the sexy lingerie and garter look good.  He won’t be able to resist me when he sees it.  I just hope he doesn’t rip it up, because I would like to wear it again. I feel very sexy in it.

I look over at the clock on the wall, and it is 4:45 already. We are all ready to start the wedding. Christian is at the altar waiting for me to walk down the aisle. All of our guests have arrived.

Liz comes into the room to inform us it is time to get in line for the ceremony. She looks stunning in her elegant gold satin gown.  We all hurry to the backyard where the ceremony will take place. Sophie, Mia and Ethan, Kate and Elliot, and Ray and I get in line. 

The Air on a G String by J.S. Bach starts to play. Everyone stands up. Sophie walks nervously dropping the purple flower petals on the path. Mia and Ethan walk arm and arm up the aisle. They look so smitten together. Kate and Ethan go next.  He sure is funny trying to grab her ass while she is blocking his hand.

I look over to Ray and he smiles at me. I smile back while intertwining my arm in his. We start to walk down the aisle.  The ceremony setting is so beautiful. The green grass and bushes with the purple flower borders look incredible. Behind the altar the stone structure looks as if I am in ancient Greece.

My eyes lock on Christian’s while I make my way to him. I feel the intensity of love in his eyes. They only part when Ray gives me away to Christian on the altar raising my veil while kissing my cheek. His eyes are watery as mine are also.

Kate is by my side and Elliot is by Christian’s side. The minister starts by asking everyone to sit down.

He continues, “We have come together in the presence of the Divine Spirit and these witnesses to join you, Anastasia Steele, and you, Christian Grey, in holy matrimony. This is a special time of celebration that the two of you will long remember, and because of this, we are grateful to share in your joy.

Marriage is a serious commitment meant for your welfare and enjoyment. Marriage also offers each of you the opportunity to grow together as a couple and as unique individuals.

In each of you, The Divine Spirit has planted an idea of how you would like to be treated in a loving marriage. This idea is a seed of desire that requires each of you to give to the other in constant and consistent positive behavior that reflects your desired results. Only then can these seeds, these ideas, come to fruition, manifest in reality, and deliver abundantly. If these solemn vows which you are about to make are kept faithfully, your marriage will surely prosper in all the goodness you both desire.

Please face each other and join hands.

Christian, do you have something you would like to say to Anastasia before we begin?”

Christian says, “Ana, from the moment you fell into my office, I knew you were the one with whom I wanted to share my life with. Your beauty, heart, and mind inspire me to be the best person I can be. I promise to love you for eternity, respecting you, honoring you, being faithful to you, and sharing my life with you. This is my solemn vow.”

Anastasia, do you have something you would like to say to Christian before we begin?

I say, “Christian, you are my partner in life and my one true love. I will cherish our union and love you more each day than I did the day before. I will trust you and respect you, laugh with you and cry with you, loving you faithfully through good times and bad, regardless of the obstacles we may face together. I give you my hand, my heart, and my love, from this day forward for as long as we both shall live.”

Anastasia, do you take this man, Christian, to be your lawfully wedded husband, and do you promise to love, honor and respect him, and comfort him, and keep him in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep thee only unto him for so long as you both shall live?

I say, “I do.”

Christian, do you take this woman, Anastasia, to be your lawfully wedded wife, and do you promise to love, honor, respect her, and comfort her, and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her for so long as you both shall live?

Christian says, “I do. “

Your wedding rings are symbolic of your commitment to each other and your endless love for each other.

Anastasia, please place your ring on Christian’s third finger of his left hand and repeat these words:

I repeat, “I Anastasia, give to you, Christian this ring as a symbol of my commitment
to love, honor, and respect you with all that I am
always.”

Christian, please place your ring on Anastasia’s third finger of her left hand and repeat these words:

He repeats, “I Christian, give to you, Anastasia this ring as a symbol of my commitment to love, honor, and respect you with all that I am always.”

I pray with you now that Our Almighty and All-Loving Divine Spirit blesses your union as a loving sanctuary and that It guides you with Its perfect plan on your journey ahead so that you may fulfill your purposes on this Earth and thereafter. I further pray with you that you always be considerate of each other, and remember to always turn to Our Creator in times of need, and to rejoice in It in celebrations of cherished moments and gratitude. “What therefore God/Our Creator hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” Amen

I now with divine blessings and the authority vested in me, joyfully pronounce you Husband and Wife.

You may kiss your Bride!
 

His soft lips meet mine and we kiss.

He holds my hands and we walk down the stairs and aisle. Everyone is cheering at us and clapping their hands. There isn’t a dry eye. They are all crying tears of joy. Christian and I are also crying. He doesn’t cry much.  

I am Mrs. Grey.  Just a few months ago I was single and a virgin. Now look at me. I am the wife of Christian Grey.  A hot and wealthy man. His money is just an asset. All that matters to me is his love.

Christian’s POV

I am so happy to marry Ana. She is officially Mrs. Grey. Just a few months ago I was a lonely, and a heartless man beating the crap out of brunette subs. That man is long gone. Now I am a married man with so much love to give to Ana. She has turned my world around for the best. She is my savior. I will love her until the end of time.

My heart feels as if it is going to explode. Seeing her walk down the aisle was the most beautiful sight.  She looked liked a beautiful glowing angel with her white exquisite wedding dress and her very bright blue eyes that looks like the pure ocean as she floated to me.

During our vows, I felt so nervous.  The only time I feel nervous is when I am with Ana. I lose all of my control around her. I cannot think straight and just the sight of her makes my heart skip a beat. I can tell she was also nervous.

 My work day can be crabby, but it lightens up when I kiss and hug her at the end of the day. She is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Ana’s POV

Once the ceremony was finished, Christian and I took some photos around certain spots with and without the family while the guests were mingling in the reception area of the backyard.  

It was time to join the others in the reception. My parents, Ray, Christian’s parents, Mia and Ethan, Kate and Elliot were introduced first by the orchestra band as they walked in.

  Once it was our turn, the lovely singer announces. “Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please, at this time I would like to announce the newlyweds have just arrived, please join me in welcoming Mr. Christian and Mrs. Anastasia Grey! Won't you please give a big hand to the new Mr. and Mrs. Grey.” She starts to sing At Last from Etta James with the band playing the background melody to accompany her while we make our presence.  I have the biggest grin on my face because I am so happy. I look at Christian and he also has his megawatt smile on his face. I sure do love that smile. It melts my heart and burns my core with desire.

He leads me to the dance floor and we dance gracefully to the song. When the song finishes, the singer declares, “Ladies and gentlemen, the song Mr. and Mrs. Grey just danced to is not their first dance. The next two songs will be their wedding song.  They have each dedicated a song to each other in which they will sing to each other. Then they will sing a song together. Enjoy!”

She hands us the mike. Christian takes it first. The band starts to play Beautiful in My Eyes from Joshua Kadison. He sings to me while we glide across the dance floor.  

You're my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
And my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.

When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that you will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.

His resonating deep singing voice and the way his eyes glisten with love while he sang to me makes my heart beat a thousand minutes per second.  The love I feel he has for me is so overwhelming.  A flood of tears gushed down my pale cheeks.  He asked me if I was okay.  I reassured him by stating it was tears of joy.

 Now it was my turn to sing.  Breathe Ana!

Christian’s POV

It felt really good to sing to Ana. I poured out all of my love for her in the song.  I truly meant the words I sang.  I was concerned at first when she started crying, but she reassured me she was crying because she was happy.  She is going to sing to me next. I give her hand a small squeeze and kissed her to encourage her.  The music starts to play and her soft angelic voice begins to sing A Long and Lasting Love by Crystal Gayle.

A long and lasting love
Not many people find it
But those who do their whole life through
Put their heart and soul behind it
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
And when I look into your eyes
I knew I'd really seen love
A long and lasting love
Chorus:
We got a once in a lifetime
All the dreams we've waited for
Are just beginning to come true
It happens once in a lifetime
When you find that special girl
Who knows the meaning of love like you
A long and lasting love
We share for many reasons
A special bond
That goes beyond the changing of the seasons
A long and lasting love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
I knew I'd really seen love
A long and lasting love
Is what I've always dreamed of
My long and lasting love

I can’t control my emotions anymore. She brings them out of me especially after singing this song for me. I held her waist tightly and gazed into her eyes while I led her in our dance of love. My tears are running down my cheek.  Her soul is pure as white. Her heart is made of gold. What did I ever do to deserve her? I am truly the luckiest man on this world. This beauty beside me is my wife. I love her more now than ever before. I will love her each day of our lives together more and more. It is endless.  All I Long For by Michael English/Susan Ashton tune fills the air.  

 I sing to her, “Here I am, Teach me true,  All I long for I found in you, sweetness grace, raise in peace, all I long for I found in you.“

She sings to me, “Here I am, Teach me true, All I long for I found in you, sweetness grace, raise in peace, all I long for I found in you.”

I sing, “Jesus Christ, Holy water, All I long for I found in you.”

We sing together,” Here I am, Teach me true, All I long for I found in you, sweet mercy, raise in peace, all I long for I found in you.”

 

She sings,” Here I am, Teach me true, All I long for I found in you, sweetness grace, raise in peace, all I long for I found in you.”

I sing, “Here I am, Teach me true, All I long for I found in you, sweetness grace, raise in peace, all I long for I found in you.”

I swoop her bending her back over my knee and press my lips against hers. She parts her lips and grants me access to her sweet tongue. I breathe in her mouth, “I love you Mrs. Grey.” She breathlessly responds, “I love you Mr. Grey.”

I was so enthralled in our moment of passion that I forgot we had guests. They all stood up from their chairs and applauded. Liz, Mia, Kate, Carla, Grace, and Gail were weeping. To my surprise, Ethan, Carrick, Dr. Flynn, Ray, and Bob were also crying. I have dried and wet tears etched on my face.

Ana’s POV

Christian swooped me off my feet with his gesture. My heart is still pounding. The kiss was so raw and sensual.  He poured out his love for me in the kiss. It was as if he kissed me for the first time.

 My tears have been pouring like cats and dogs. The song we sang together was so beautiful. It moved me. All of our honored guests gave us a standing ovation.

My father asks Christian if he may have a dance with me. He steps aside and Ray holds my back while we dance to I love her first by Heartland. While we dance Ray says, “Annie, I am so proud of you. You are beautiful, talented, strong, and smart. Christian is a lucky man to have you in his life. I will always see you as my little girl. I will be her for you whenever you need me. I love you.”

I answer him back, “Daddy, I love you. Even though I am a grown woman, you will always be my daddy. In my heart, I am still the little girl who looks up to her daddy.” He hugs me as soon as the song comes to an end.

We walk off the dance floor passing by Grace and Christian.  He holds her at arms length dancing to A mother's son by T Carter. Grace looks so happy dancing with her son. I am sure she never thought in a million years her son would find love and get married. Christian looks so relaxed with her. I have never seen him like that with her before.

Grace’s POV

My son is a married man. I truly never thought he would love someone and get married. A few months ago I thought he was gay until I walked in on Ana and him at his apartment. That day has been the beginning to a whole new Christian. He is more open, lovable, and playful.

She has been his and ours lifeline.  The transformation he has gone through because of Ana has been night and day. I owe Ana so much for it. She is like another daughter of mine. I will thank her every day of my life.

Christian POV

I love my mother, Grace. It took Ana coming into my life to realize it. I would have never been able to be this close to her if it wasn’t because of Ana’s love for me. Before Ana my mom could not hug or kiss me. Now I want her to.

When Ana danced with her father, I saw the love she has for him. He also showed his love for her. They have a special bond. One day I would like to have a special bond with my children. Wait a minute! Did I just say that? I can’t have kids at least not anytime soon. I don’t know if I can be a good father. I am terrified of being a father. I will not think of about that now. I just want to enjoy our wedding.

Ana’s POV

Christian comes back to my side when he finishes his dance with Grace. We all sit down at the table. The table settings look spectacular. The candles and flowers give the atmosphere a romantic feel to it. The favors sparkle in the candle light.

The hor d’eourves are served before the main course is.  The wine will be served throughout the night. We all talk for a while. Elliot of course has to make his funny comments. Kate tries to cut him off before he says anything that will offend anyone.  Mia is just babbling on about her trips to Europe. Ethan stays silent for the most part only interjecting when the men talk about business. Carla and Grace are talking up a storm. Ray, Bob, and Carrick chat about sports and business. Christian once in a while will include himself in the conversation.  Most of the time he and I chat about our new house, new life, and love for each other. He strokes my thighs and back the whole time. I caress his thighs as well.  

The chicken piccata with the salad, glazed carrots, and garlic mashed potatoes tasted divine.  The bavarois dessert was delicious. The rich custard set with gelatin and fresh fruit on top complimented the taste.

After dinner the dance floor was pact. We danced until our feet hurt. Christian dipped me and kissed me a few times during our dances. We boogied and slow danced for a few hours.  Everyone had a great time on the dance floor.

The announcer announces it is time to get back to our tables. Once we sit down, Elliot is handed the microphone.  I hope he does not say anything inappropriate.  Christian is eyeing him will concern.

Elliot puts on a serious face and says, “I am honored to be my brother’s best man.  When I first met Ana, I knew my little bro had something special with her. The way he looks at her says it all. When she leaves the room, his eyes follow her. He has puppy eyes for her. I also know Ana loves him, because she also has puppy eyes for him. When they are in the same room, they have to touch each other. They need to get a room at times. The times when they are apart, they are texting or emailing each other. They are inseparable. Ana, thank you for capturing my brothers heart and sharing this ever-lasting love with him.  Christian I am very happy you found the love of your life as I found mine in Kate. I leave you with a quote : Marriage is not about finding a person you can live with, it’s about finding the person you can’t live without. My brother has found that person.” Christian stands up and hugs Elliot. I also hug him. It was a very beautiful speech. I am very impressed with him.

Kate stands up and says, “Ana is my best friend. I am honored to be her maid of honor.  When I look at the Ana and Christian, I feel such a whirlwind of emotions. I know that Ana has found her true match and I know that theirs will be a marriage of long standing.  When I came back from Barbados, she told me her and Christian were together. At first I was skeptical, but when I saw them interacting together I knew they were meant to be. My heart is bursting with love for you two today. I know you have a wonderful adventure ahead of you, and with God’s blessing your marriage will last for decades to come. “I hug her and tell her I love her. To my surprise, Christian also hugs her.  I guess he has forgiven her for meddling in the bachelorette party she threw me.

Christian is still standing. He takes the microphone.
 

“On behalf of Ana and myself. I would like to thank you all for coming here today and sharing our special day with us. Especially those who have travelled some distance to be here.
I would like to thank Ana's Mom, Ray, and Bob for the support and kindness you has shown us and for  welcoming me into her family. I hope I am everything you would like in a son in law / and I promise to take special care of your lovely daughter Ana.
We would also like to thank my mom and dad for your support and love and for the good wishes conveyed to Ana and myself for our future. Also thank you very much Liz and Michael making our wedding extra special.
A big thank you also to everyone here tonight for your cards, kind thoughts and wonderful presents. We look forward to finding a special place in our home for them on our return from honeymoon.
Ana took the place of Kate to interview me for the school newspaper because she was sick.  When she fell into my office and our eyes met I instantly fell in love with her. Her crystal blue clear eyes looked through to my soul.  I knew she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.  Here I am a few months later marrying the love of my life.
My darling, thank you for marrying me and making me the happiest man in the world. You look gorgeous. You take my breath away. I still cannot believe that such a wonderful woman has chosen to marry me. I love you with all of my heart, and more and look forward to the many years ahead of us.
I would now like to thank Elliot for being not only my best man today but also for being a great brother. I just want you to know I really value your friendship and love. Kate thank you for your superb speech. I value the friendship you and Kate have. Thank you for getting sick so Ana could interview me.
Ana and I would also like to thank our bridesmaids who all look stunning and truly beautiful today. You have made our day extra special.
Sophie you look very pretty today. You did a great job as the flower girl.
Finally, I would like you all to stand and join me in a toast to the bridesmaids, maid of honor, best man, our parents, and honored guests.”

 He sits back down and I kiss him. I loved his speech. Now it is my turn.

“Firstly thank you all for coming and thank you for all your wonderful gifts - we look forward opening them when we come back from our honeymoon.

I know some of you took time off work and travelled a long way to be here and I want to say how much it means to us to share our day with family and friends that love us. Weddings can happen at anywhere and at any time but it can only be true celebration when all the people you love are there to share it with you, so you really have made our day.
Today I also gain another set of parents Grace & Cary. From the first day I met you I felt welcomed and accepted. I'm very lucky to have such great in-laws. Thank you for raising Christian and rest assured I will look after him and love him just as well. Am I right to say that there is no warranty card for him? No? Worth a thought.
I'm so pleased that my mom, dad, and Bob can be here with me today. It means a lot to me that you gave me away today. Words alone cannot describe what it means to me.  
A massive thank you to my maid-of honor, Kate, my best friend. I'd like to thank you for accepting to be my maid-of-honor. You've been helpful, supportive and all the things a bride could ask for. Thank you for being there for me whenever I needed you. You have been there for me like a true sister. I loved your speech.
A thank you to my lovely flower-girl Sophie for making my wedding entrance special! You were a little star, very pretty and charming.
I would like to also thank Mia and my best friend Kate for being my bridesmaids. It wouldn't be the same without you two here today. Mia you are like a sister for me also.
I would like to say a big thank you the best man Elliot for a wonderful speech. A big thank you to Liz and Michael for arranging our ceremony and reception.
And finally a word or two for my dear husband Christian (wow! I can say that now!). Christian came into my life and completely changed it for the better. When we first locked eyes, I felt a surge of electricity run through me. My heart skipped a beat. I knew you were the one right at that moment. That surge still runs through me just looking at you.
It means so much to me standing here as his wife. You are my favorite man in the world, the love of my life, and now my husband! I want to thank you for a wonderful day - thank you for your hard work in realizing our dreams - today has been so perfect. Thank you for putting up with me and coping with my fabulous mood swings! Thank you for loving me and being there for me. You have done this by being yourself and loving me. He is understanding, loving, overprotective, and kind. I know that life won’t be a bed of roses, but I can promise you now that I will always be there by your side as your wife and confidant.
I am going to recite a poem in the hope that it might let him know just how much he means to me.
I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I'm with you I love you not only for what you have made yourself as for what you have made of me I love you for the part of me that you bring out. I love you for putting your hand in my heaped up heart and passing over all the foolish weak things that are held dimly there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings, that no-one else had looked quite far enough to find. I love you because you have helped me to make my life a beautiful life worth living I love because you have done more than anyone could have done to make me good and more than any fate could have done to make me happy.
They say you don't marry the man you can't live with you marry the man you can't live without and for me that's Christian.
If it is true that men are like stars, with so many to pick from but only one who can make your dreams come true then Christian is my one true star and I can’t wait for the rest of our dreams to come true.
I love you with all my heart and I know for certain that will never change. I must be the luckiest person on earth and I know that we are going to have an amazing life together.
Christian you are my everything and I’m very proud to be Mrs. Grey. I'd like to propose a toast to us - the best is yet to come.
To my gorgeous, caring husband...to Christian!”

Christian and everyone in the room have tears in their eyes. Mine trickle down my cheek. He stands up and holds my waist firmly while kissing me with passion.

Our guests and family one by one hug and congratulate us.

Christian and I cut the first slice of cake while a picture is taken of us. The cake is served to everybody.

The night keeps going with some more dancing and mingling.

Christian whispers in my ear while we dance, “Tonight I want to make love for the first time to my wife.”

I bite my lip and respond, “Mr. Grey, I believe tonight will be another first for you and me. I would love to make love to my husband.  As your wife, I would like to add some kinky fuckery, if that is okay with you?”

He pulls my teeth from my lower lip with his lips and murmurs, “Mrs. Grey, yes it is another first. I love first’s. If kinky fuckery what you want, it can be arranged. We aim to please.”

I kiss him back forcing my tongue to gain access to his. He responds to my kiss. We lock lips until our dance is over.

We walk out of Grace’s house hand in hand. Rice is thrown all over us by the guests and our family exclaiming congratulations.
