The Life of Anna, Part 3: Embraced (33 page)

“Good. I just wanted to remind you.” Alex
relaxed back into the couch.

“I want her for twenty-four hours for the
Gatherings. Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon.”

Alex hesitated. That was a long time for her
to be away. But Devin was still her Master, even if it was severely
diminished. “All right.”

“And I will fuck her.”

Alex’s jaw clenched. The thought of Anna
being with Devin made his stomach churn.

“Feel free to come to the gatherings and
utilize my girls.”

He felt Anna stiffen next to him. “Thank you
for the offer, but I am quite content to wait for Anna to come
home.”

Devin chuckled. “Monogamy? Really? I didn’t
think you had it in you. It’s difficult as an Elder to do
that.”

“I’m not an Elder yet.”

Devin smiled. “No, you’re not.”

Alex sighed impatiently. “Is there anything
else?”

Devin took another drink of his scotch. “No.
Those are the basics I wanted to discuss.” He put his glass down
and stood. “I would like her tomorrow night if you don't mind. It
has been quite a while since she’s been to the Manor. With
performances and all.”

Devin was right. To deny him would be wrong.
“All right. What time do you want her there?” Alex stood and began
walking him to the door.

“Four-thirty is fine.”

“I will drop her off at four-thirty tomorrow
and pick her up at four-thirty on Saturday.”

They shook hands and Devin looked back at
Anna, who had followed them out into the entryway. He gave her a
smile. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Baby.”

Alex opened the door and Devin left.

Anna rushed into his arms. “I really have to
go see him tomorrow?” she asked, her voice betraying a
heartbreaking sadness.

“I’m afraid so,
Schatzi
.” He petted
her hair and held her tightly.

*****

Devin got into his car and slammed the door.
Damn fucking Alex!
Anna had changed. She was completely in
love with Alex and there was nothing Devin could do about it. Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck!

There was only one solution. He had to get
rid of Alex. There had to be a way. There just had to be.

Instead of going home, he headed out to the
Manor. He needed to do more research and talk to a few people.

“I don't want to go, Alex,” Anna whispered as
Alex stopped his car in front of the Manor.

Alex reached over and took her hand. “I know,
Schatzi
,” he kissed the back of her hand. “But he won’t
hurt you. He wouldn’t dare.”

Anna nodded. She had heard the conversation
between him and Devin. “I don’t need to be afraid,” she said
softly.

“That’s right. You don’t need to be afraid.”
Alex cupped her chin and kissed her deeply. “I love you, Anna. With
everything I am.”

“I love you too, Alex. I can’t wait until
tomorrow.”

He gave her an adoring smile. “Me too.”

She looked out and saw Ian walking towards
the car. She sighed and turned back to Alex. She tried to give him
a brave smile. “Have fun with Aaron tonight. Tell him I said
hi.”

“I will. Perhaps if you’re up to it, we can
have a few people over on Sunday evening.”

Anna nodded. “I’d like that. I’d really like
to see Jenna.”

“Let’s see how you feel tomorrow.”

Ian stood by the car and waited.

“I should go,” Anna whispered. She leaned
over and kissed Alex and then opened the car door. “Good evening,
my lord,” she greeted Ian softly.

“Good evening, Mistress.” Ian said
gently.

“Anna, remember. You are not inferior,” Alex
said, leaning so he could see her. “I love you.”

She turned and gave him an adoring smile. “I
love you, too.” She picked up her bag and closed the door. Ian took
her bag and she followed him up the steps to the door. She glanced
back and waved at Alex, and then walked through the door, which Ian
closed behind her.

*****

Anna took a deep breath and looked around.
She half expected that the Manor had changed since she had, but no,
it was the same as it had always been. The aura of fear threatened
to consume her, but she was determined not to let it. She slipped
her shoes off automatically and put them to the side.

“Devin would like to see you in the Hall,”
Ian said, leading her in the direction of the Hall instead of her
room.

“The Hall? Why?” Anna walked slightly behind
Ian, but kept her head up.
I am not inferior
.

Ian shrugged and glanced back at her with a
smile. “You look good, Anna,” he said softly, his eyes sad.

Anna swallowed and looked away. Could she
forgive him for killing Ben? She was very happily married to Alex.
Ian only did what he was told to do. He didn’t have a choice.

Ian stopped at the door to the Hall and
opened it. She glanced up at him and gave him a timid smile as she
walked by. He smiled back with relief in his eyes.

She walked into the Hall and was surprised to
see the room filled with naked women. Devin was sitting on his
throne. She picked her way through the crowd to the platform, where
she kneeled and bowed to him.

“I didn’t know if you would be willing to
greet me in such a way, Mistress,” Devin said sarcastically. “Alex
doesn’t think it beneath you?”

Anna sat up and looked at him. “You are still
an Elder, my lord,” she said softly. “I greet you as I should.”

Devin looked at her in surprise, and then
nodded. “I approve.” He stood. “Come,” he said, holding out his
hand to her. She stood and he turned her to face the women sitting
on their heels in front of the platform. “I want you to pick out a
pet.”

“A pet? I don’t understand.” These were
women, not animals.

“I want you to pick out a girl that can be
your...well, pet is the best way I can describe it. Someone you can
train.”

“For what?”

“For whatever you want them to be trained to
do. I may ask you to train them for something, too.” He put his
hands on her shoulders and leaned into her ear. “Choose someone you
will be able to manipulate to do your will,” he whispered.

Anna’s eyes closed as a wave of dizziness
overcame her.

*****

Devin held Anna around her waist until she
was steady on her feet again. She smelled good. It had been so long
since he had been with her, his cock stirred at having her in his
arms. He slid his hands up and cupped her breasts over her t-shirt.
They were larger than they had been before she left. He squeezed
them and she moaned. And beautifully firm and full. Maybe he should
impregnate her more often. He liked the feel of her heavy breasts
in his hands.

He kissed her neck and her eyes opened,
slightly glazed. She was under his control. It was limited control.
He had the constraints that Alex had put in place, but he could do
this.

“Go, Baby. Choose the girl I need.”

Anna stepped forward and looked around. She
stopped in front of several girls and looked them over. She
caressed breasts and looked them in the eye. She spent considerable
time gazing into the eyes of a redhead named Jamie. Devin had
thought she might be the one and was pleased to think Anna might
feel the same way.

His cock twitched when Anna leaned forward
and kissed Jamie on the mouth, caressing her breasts at the same
time. Jamie had very nice breasts, full with long pink nipples that
Anna tugged on. Devin could hear the girl moan from his place on
the platform.

Anna stood and took Jamie’s hand to lead her
to Devin. The girl dropped to her knees in front of Devin.

“This is the one?” he asked Anna.

She nodded. “Yes, my lord.”

He dismissed the other girls and had Jamie
stand while he sat in his chair. There were a few bruises on her
hips and arms, but they would go away. He cupped her breasts and
then opened her pussy lips to tweak her clit. She jumped and gasped
when he did it and was pleased to feel moisture when he pressed his
finger inside her. She was pleasantly tight and responsive to his
thrusts.

“Yes, she will do,” he said aloud. “Well,
Jamie, how would you like to be our special girl?”

Jamie’s blue eyes lit up. “Yes, my lord. I
would like that.”

“You will be exclusively with myself or Anna.
You will have a nice room to live in all by yourself. You will not
be visited by other men and you won't come to the gatherings
anymore, unless Anna wants you there as a pet.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Devin motioned to a man standing along the
wall. “Take Jamie to the room I prepared for her. Get her anything
she wants.”

The man bowed and led Jamie away.

Anna stood by watching. “What will happen to
her?”

Devin smiled and reached for her hand. “She
is going to stay in a room similar to yours. We will play with her
and make her ours. In a few months she will be willing to do
anything for us.” He pulled Anna into his lap and kissed her.

She was hesitant to kiss him back but after a
few moments relaxed into his embrace. He caressed her breasts and
she moaned softly. “I’ve missed you, Baby,” he said huskily.

*****

Anna felt her head clear as she watched Devin
talking to Jamie. She didn’t know why she had chosen the girl. She
just knew she was the one.

When Devin pulled Anna into his lap, she was
reluctant at first, but as he gently kissed her, her hesitancy
disappeared. He was her Master. She wanted to please him. He
caressed her breasts gently and she felt herself becoming
aroused.

“Your breasts are fuller than they were
before,” Devin commented.

She looked at him nervously. He would be
angry with her if he knew she was pregnant. But she couldn’t hide
it from him. He would figure it out soon enough. “Devin...,” she
began reluctantly. “I...I’m pregnant.”

Devin’s brow raised slightly, but he didn’t
appear angry. She bit her lip, waiting for his response.

“Do you know who the father is?” he
asked.

Anna shook her head. “Alex thinks it must be
Ben’s,” she admitted softly. “Something about an intense emotional
connection.”

Devin nodded solemnly. “It’s difficult to
know in situations like yours. Does Alex approve of the baby?”

Anna smiled shyly and nodded. “He’s excited.”
She put her hand on her stomach. “He said he’d raise it as his
own.”

“Well, Baby, if he’s happy then I’m happy,”
Devin said after a pause.

“You’re not angry?”

“Why would I be angry?”

“You said that pregnancy ruins a woman’s
body.”

“It can. But you are Alex’s wife now. I can’t
really say much about it.”

Anna looked at him doubtfully. “I thought you
would be furious,” she whispered.

Devin kissed her. “How can I be angry when
your breasts look like this?” he asked with a smile as he caressed
her.

She closed her eyes and sighed. Devin knew
exactly how to caress her breasts in a way that felt so good.

He stopped and Anna opened her eyes in
surprise.

“You need to go get ready. I’ll be more than
happy to play with them some more tonight. I’ll be gentle with you
Anna. I promise.”

“You...won't use your spikes or
anything?”

He shook his head. “I won’t. I don’t want
anything to happen to your baby.”

Anna smiled at him thankfully and then stood.
“Thank you, De...my lord.”

She hurried to the back of the room where Ian
waited for her.

*****

Maggie and Sarah came into Anna’s room later
and got her ready for the evening as they did every other time. She
hadn’t been here in almost two months and as they asked questions
about her trip, she realized that she’d missed them.

When it was time, Ian came to her room to
take her down to the Hall. His eyes widened when he saw Anna’s
breasts spilling over her dress.

Anna giggled, which made Ian laugh.

“Too bad you’re married now, Anna. I’d be at
your apartment tomorrow night.”

She smiled as he led her down to the Hall.
When he opened the door, she walked in with her head held high, but
was careful not to appear arrogant, as Sebastian had told her.
Devin smiled from his place on the platform as she walked towards
him. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the men watching her.
She liked that they stared at her, wanting her.

When she arrived in front of Devin, she bowed
and waited for him to tell her she could get up. He did so and he
pulled her into his lap.

“God, Anna, you are so sexy in that dress,”
he groaned, pulling the front of her dress down and taking a nipple
into his mouth. She untied his pants and stroked his hard cock,
making him groan even more. He picked her up by her hips and
lowered her down onto his cock.

“Oh, Devin,” she moaned softly, leaning her
head on his shoulder. His piercings felt so good inside her.

She rode him hard and shortly they both came,
pressing their mouths together as they did.

Anna looked into his eyes after. “Master...,”
she sighed.

Devin smiled. “Yes, Baby,” he said, letting
her rest her head on his shoulder.

As the Gathering proceeded, Anna was pleased
to find it unlike what she was used to. Devin treated her
respectfully, and only had her please a few of the men. She sat
with them and flirted and cajoled, but they were all nice. It was
odd, especially when Jack was the same way. Devin didn’t have her
do anything with Jack.

When the Gathering was over, Devin took her
back to his room and made love to her and she slept peacefully in
his arms.

They woke mid-morning and went to visit
Jamie. Devin wanted Jamie and Anna to please one another while he
watched, and they spent the rest of the morning and afternoon with
her. He made love to both girls several times, and in between had
the girls play with each other.
