Fifty Shades Undone

Days Go By

Christian POV

It's been a long day and I can't wait to see my beautiful wife. She has that habit of making me anxious even when I know she's perfectly fine. Taylor informed me earlier that Sawyer had called him informing him that she was 30 minutes over her usual time visiting time with Ray. I don't want to worry about her, but I do, it's not that I think she will leave me, it's because I think that she will be in danger and I won't be there to help her. She doesn't understand the control I need in my life. With her I have no control. I've given into her demands of only allowing Sawyer to be with her since our honeymoon and the months afterward. We've had no incidents, we've been safe. We have no threats to our person. Even the person threatening Grey House has dropped off the face of the globe. I've invested a lot of time and money in trying to find the person or persons who were trying to endanger myself or my family but it seems as if whomever they were stopped as quickly as they started. Barney's efforts at protecting our data and our servers are more than top notch. Welch assures me that our all of our aircraft, my boat and my cars are safe. My houses have been retrofitted with panic rooms, including my house in Aspen and my apartment in New York. All have also been upgraded with the latest surveillance equipment as well. I've also insisted that my family install the latest equipment in security, which includes a panic room. My parents about had a heart attack when I told them, but they understood. Elliot thought the panic room was a great make out room for him and Kate. I didn't even want to know what they did. I had not clue he was as perverted as he is, but hey we may not be blood brothers but we are brothers. I even talked to the Kavanagh's and had them install surveillance equipment and panic rooms in their house and Kate's condo. I feel better knowing not only is my family safe, but also Ana's friend is safe. I asked her if she wanted me to ensure the photographer was safe she informed me not to bother, if anyone was going to go after Jose then they were trying too hard. I laughed at that because she was right, I know she's naïve, but that photographer would jump in her pants given the chance. At least I asked, that is more in my book. Even Flynn agreed that it was a kind gesture of me to ask. It took a lot out of me to do so, Bastille definitely felt the brunt of it that day but, it made Ana happy and that is all that matters to me, her happiness and her safety.

Taylor is ready to go. I mention to Andrea, my PA, that Ana wants to have her PA get together with her and to schedule it as quickly as possible while I'm on my way out the door for the evening. Andrea is one of the best PA's in the business and that is why I have her. I've had other CEO's try to swipe her away from me, but I've handled them. She is well compensated by my company so I do not have to worry about her leaving. Ana's PA will be just as compensated once she is up to Andrea's level.

We reach the GEH lower level waiting on Sawyer and Ana to arrive, Taylor always looking like my ultimate protector, although lately I've become a lot more approachable since I've met Ana. More of my employees are smiling at me and I actually smile back. I have a few employees that are leaving and are about to catch the bus that is down the street that say good evening, I reply in kind which always gets smiles or blushes from that employee depending on the sex of the employee. Taylor remains stoic but I can tell he's laughing on the inside, I've become more attuned to his internal emotions when it concerns my employees, I think they are amusing to him, as long as they do not cause trouble he is happy.

Sawyer and Ana arrive, my heart lurches forward as it does when she is near me. This woman is the love of my life. There is no other for me. She is the light to my darkness. Even when she is so unreasonable, I still love her. She may not think so when I'm frustrated with her, but it is true, contrary to her belief at the time. I get into the SUV and give my wife a deep kiss and she responds as if her life depends on our kiss. WHOA, something is bothering my beautiful Ana, should I ask or let it go. I know she's been working on this manuscript with a veteran that has her waking with nightmares again and going to Flynn as much as I am. Should I ask her or let it go? Our kiss deepens, tongues entwine, if this continues Taylor and Sawyer will have to rely on that NDA they signed because they will see more than they are allowed. Ana is in a mood and I need to fulfill something in her. I break our kiss reluctantly.
