Freed: Fifty Shades Freed as told by Christian

Chapter 68

“Don’t be ridiculous, Christian. I couldn’t force it on you. I thought Michael did a wonderful service.”

“He did.” Leaning forward, I kiss my mother on her forehead. She closes her eyes, and when she opens them again they burn with a curious intensity. “You look so happy, darling. I’m so thrilled for both of you.”

“Thanks, Mom.”

I glance over to where Kate and Ana are in a deep conversation. Elliot is watching them. No. Elliot is watching Kate. He can’t take his eyes off her. Perhaps he cares for her more than he’s letting on.

The dance floor is full; Ray and Carla are taking a turn. They really do get on. I glance at my watch—it’s 5 p.m.—time we thought about leaving. I amble over toward my wife. Kate hugs her, hard, then grins at me, and I feel slightly less antagonistic toward her.

“Hi, baby.” I slip my arms around Ana and kiss her temple. “Kate,” I acknowledge her.

“Hello again, Christian. I’m off to find your best man, who happens to be my best man, too.” With a smile to us both, she heads over to Elliot, who is drinking with Ethan and José.

“Time to go,” I whisper.

I’m done with this party. I want to be alone with my wife.

“Already?” Ana says. “This is the first party I’ve been to where I don’t mind being the center of attention.” She turns in my arms and smiles up at me.

“You deserve to be. You look stunning, Anastasia.”

“So do you.”

“This beautiful dress becomes you.” I love how it reveals her enticing shoulders.

“This old thing?” She peers up at me, in that way that she does, all shy and bewitching through her lashes. She’s irresistible. Leaning down, I kiss her.

“Let’s go. I don’t want to share you with all these people anymore.”

“Can we leave our own wedding?”

“And you, beautiful Anastasia, go and make an old man happy—dance with Theo.”

“One day, Grandmother. Are you enjoying the wedding?” I need to move her on to another subject.

“Your parents know how to throw a party. Of course, your mother gets that from me. Theo would rather be puttering around on the farm. But then you know that.”
