The Life of Anna, Part 2: Entwined (24 page)

The large room had tall windows on three sides, similar to the room they'd just left. But this room had only the few emergency lights on. Zach took her hand and led her to the corner where they would be hidden from the doorway.

He stood behind her with his hands on her arms, stroking up and down. Her body prepared itself for whatever he wanted to do. He ran his hands up to her shoulders and caressed the exposed skin above her breasts. She sensed he liked a challenge and pulled away slightly.

“Zach...,” she said softly. “We shouldn't—” He kissed the side of her neck.

“Shouldn't what?” he asked, biting her earlobe.

He had a boyish look to him, but she knew his sexual appetites leaned in the hard direction. He would be rough and she would be hurting soon, but she couldn't leave. She had been trained so that she could handle the rough stuff.

His hands slid down to her hips. She struggled and he held her tight against his chest, his cock hardening against her ass. He liked the chase and conquer, she decided. He would be turned on by defeating her struggles.

“Zach, please let me go,” she whispered. “Devin will—”

“Devin wanted me to have you,” he said in a low voice, bringing his hands up to cup her breasts. “He told me to follow you.”

She shook her head. “No, he wouldn't do that,” she whimpered. It was all an act, but he had to believe it. She knew exactly what she was doing and it was working. His desire for her was increasing by the second as she pulled away from him.

He forced her back against him. “Hey,” he whispered harshly as she tried to pull away. “Hey!”

She stopped moving.

“If you do as I say, I won't hurt you. But either way, I am going to fuck you. Here and now.”

She pulled against him again. He wanted her to continue struggling, so she did. He grasped her hands in his and pulled them up over her head. Her back arched and her breasts jutted out.

He unzipped her dress and reached in to grasp her breasts, pinching and pulling her nipple. She whimpered at the pain. It really did hurt, but she could handle it. It's what she’d been trained for.

He pushed her forward and moved her hands to hold them against the wall. He pulled her skirt up and caressed her ass.

“God, what a great ass.” He moved closer and whispered in her ear. “You like taking cock in the ass, Anna?”

There had only been a few times that she'd enjoyed anal, and they had all occurred within the last few weeks.

She shook her head. “Please don’t. It hurts,” she begged. Thinking about the other men, Aaron included, made her heart ache. Having had someone care for her made this situation worse. She stopped acting and her pleas became real. “Please don't.”

He chuckled and moved her thong aside to caress her asshole. He pressed a finger through the tight band of muscle and she cried out, struggling to get away. She didn't want to feel the pain. She wanted to be cared for. She wanted to be with Aaron, not here at this hotel.

“So tight, Anna. Doesn't your ass ever get a workout?” He pushed in another finger as he asked the question.

Tears started running down her cheeks. She hoped he would at least use some sort of lubrication. Even her pussy; she was wet.

“Please don't dry-fuck me,” she whimpered.

“Maybe I'll be nice this time. I wouldn't want you bleeding all over your pretty dress.” He pulled his fingers out and shoved several unceremoniously into her pussy.

“Thank you,” she sobbed, pressing her forehead to the wall.

She heard the sound of his zipper and a moment later her pussy was filled with his cock. He thrust in and out a few times then pulled out and moved to her ass, pressing in without any more preparation than he'd already given her.

He let go of her hands and grasped her hips as he plundered her tight hole. Her fingernails dug into the wall as he fucked her ass hard and painfully. Though she wanted to scream, she held her tongue, except for the occasional cry or sob that escaped her mouth. He didn’t care if she came and she didn't exert the effort to do so.

His thrusts became sharper and he grunted as he approached his climax. Finally, he stiffened and groaned softly as he shot his load deep inside her ass. He pulled out when he was finished and let go of her hips.

Without his support, her legs collapsed under her and she slid down the wall to her knees, wincing as her ass hit her heels. Tears ran down her cheeks. She'd have to fix her makeup before she went back in.

Zach stood over her and zipped up his pants. “It's almost seven. Devin'll wonder where you are.” He smirked. “You live in the Sapphire, right?”

She nodded warily.

“Apartment 2604?”

Her eyes widened when she heard her apartment number and nodded again.

“I may come visit you. I'm on the 35
th
floor.” He turned and walked away, leaving her alone in her misery.

The thought of being visited by him frightened her. What would he do to her if he wasn't in a public place?

Anna sat for a few more minutes and then dragged herself to her feet. She concentrated on not limping as she walked in her four-inch heels to the bathroom. After quickly cleaning herself up and fixing her makeup, she took several deep breaths to calm herself.

She forced a smile on her face and walked back into the reception area, looking around for Devin. He stood near the window on the opposite side of the room. She carefully guarded her facial expression and made her way to him, giving smiles to people when appropriate.

When she reached Devin, she approached him shyly, not sure of how he would receive her. She didn't know what, if anything, Zach had told him, though Zach was nowhere to be seen.

Devin gave her a warm smile and a kiss on the mouth when he saw her. He nuzzled her ear. “Zach looks well satiated, Anna. Good girl.”

She warmed at his praise and gave him a timid smile.

He studied her for a moment. “Are you all right?” he asked softly.

She hesitated. She had to tell the truth. She shook her head, but added, “I will be, though,” and gave him as bright a smile as she could manage.

“Thank you for being honest, Baby.” He kissed her again. “Let's get a drink and go in. It's almost time for the dinner to start and I need to be in there to greet people.”

Devin took her arm, led her to the bar and ordered two drinks. When Devin handed her a glass of white wine, she frowned and shook her head.

“Devin, I'm not old enough,” she said softly.

Devin gave her a look and handed her the glass again. “It doesn't matter Anna,” he said in a voice she knew she should obey. “I want you to have it.”

“Yes, Devin,” she said softly and took a sip of wine, trying not to make a face at the strange taste.

He picked up his short glass of amber liquid and ice and put his arm around her to lead her away. “There are advantages to going out with me, Anna. One of which is you can drink. No one will question your age when you're with me. Eventually, you'll be well known enough that you'll be able to drink even if I’m not around.”

They walked into a huge room filled with dozens of large round tables. Many people were already in the room. Some were seated. Others stood around talking, drinks in hand. Devin greeted people as he passed them, always introducing Anna to them. Certain people he talked with for a bit longer.

Anna started studying the men's hands. Many of them wore sapphire rings on their pinky fingers and they looked at her knowingly.

She and Devin meandered to the table that they'd be sitting at for the evening, Table One. The man that Anna had seen when she’d had lunch with Devin sat there, and he stood to greet them. He was slender and slightly shorter than Devin, with stormy gray eyes and hair the color of milk chocolate, fashionably spiked with gel. She also recognized him as one of the men on the platform that Devin had her please at the first gathering. She hadn't looked at him very closely when she'd seen him at lunch.

“Anna, this is Trenton Needham,” Devin introduced after greeting the man. “Trenton, this is Anna.”

Trenton gave her a big smile. “It's a pleasure to formally meet you, Anna.” He leaned forward to kiss her cheek. “The girl with the amazing mouth,” he said softly, then straightened.

“It's nice to meet you, too, Mr. Needham,” she said with a shy smile. Anna looked at his hand and saw he wore an emerald ring.

“Call me Trenton, please, Anna. Mr. Needham makes me feel old.” He laughed and Anna giggled. She guessed he was about Devin's age, around forty.

“Trenton,” she repeated softly, gazing up at him.

Devin put his hand around Anna's waist and nuzzled her hair. “You're doing very well, Anna. Keep charming the men. Don't let the women intimidate you. Pity them. You are the one their husbands will be thinking about as they're in bed tonight.”

For some reason, the thought of men thinking about her tonight made her wet. Her cheeks flushed and Devin chuckled.

“You like that thought, don't you, Baby? Men fucking their wives, thinking about your pert little tits and sweet pussy,” he whispered in her ear. “I'm the luckiest man in here, because I won't have to be imagining it.” He kissed the top of her ear and she shivered in anticipation of going home with Devin.

“Hello, Devin,” a woman standing next to Trenton said pleasantly. She was short and thin, with slanted dark brown eyes and black hair put up in an elegant bun. Her pale green satin sheath dress had an Asian feel to it.

Devin smiled at the woman and leaned in to kiss her cheek in greeting. “Hello, Maki. How are you tonight?” he asked pleasantly.

Maki glanced at Anna then back at Devin. “I’m well, Devin. How are you doing?” She gave him a bright smile.

Anna felt something pass between them and a surge of jealousy welled up in her heart.

“I'm excellent, Maki.” He turned to Anna. “Anna, this is Maki, Trenton's wife. Maki, this is Anna.”

Maki inclined her head to Anna. “Hello, Anna,” she said in a musical voice.

Anna smiled at her. “Hello, Maki.”

Maki looked back at Devin with a knowing look and nodded. “Perhaps the four of us can go out for dinner sometime soon, Devin.”

“That would be delightful, Maki,” Devin said.

Trenton grinned. “I agree. You could join us for drinks after the banquet.”

Anna had a feeling she was missing something in the conversation, but couldn't figure out what it was.

Devin sighed. “That sounds wonderful, but Anna and I have plans for later tonight.” He squeezed her waist. “I'm afraid I need to go get the dinner started.” He kissed Anna on the cheek and then looked at the other couple. “Will you keep Anna company while I’m up there?”

Both Trenton and Maki nodded and Devin turned and walked away. Anna looked at them shyly and they smiled at her warmly. Trenton held out a chair for Anna to sit, did the same for his wife, and then sat between the two of them.

Several other couples had seated themselves around the table and Trenton introduced Anna to them as Devin's date. They were other executives from Devin's bank. She didn't see any other pinky rings.

The rest of the room filled up over the next few minutes. Shortly after that, Devin appeared on a platform in the front of the room.

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen....” He went on to talk about what the banquet was about and the course of events for the evening. He spoke eloquently and in a commanding tone, easily catching the attention of everyone in the room. Devin was nothing if not charismatic. “Enjoy your dinner and we'll begin the awards ceremony afterwards.”

Devin walked off the platform and returned to the table, sitting next to Anna and kissing her temple. He greeted those around the table, making sure that Anna had been introduced.

Dinner was served and the people around her conversed about business topics. Anna didn't have much to contribute, never having worked or even been inside a bank, save when she met Devin for lunch. A few of the women asked questions, discretely trying to figure out who and what Anna was. Devin named her profession as a ballet dancer. Anna blushed at his pronouncement.

Anna sipped on her wine as people talked around her. Devin was charming and engaging, and amazing to watch. He knew exactly what to say at any moment and seemed to be able to manipulate people into believing the way he did.

At one point, Trenton put his hand on her left leg and caressed the inside of her knee. She glanced discretely at him and he wasn't watching her, but Maki was. Maki looked down at her husband's hand and smiled at Anna, then turned back to her conversation with the woman next to her.

What was that about? Why would Maki smile at Anna that way? Anna was confused. Jack had made her think that all wives would hate her and be upset if they saw their husbands showing an interest in her.

Devin placed his hand on Anna's other leg and caressed her inner thigh. Having two different men's hands on her excited her. She had trouble concentrating on anything but their hot, heavy hands. She took another sip of wine and Devin's hand moved up and under her dress. He pulled at her leg, spreading her thighs apart and moved up to brush his little finger against her pussy.
