“Yes. He’s going to be the next president and I need to establish my authority over him before the weekend.”

“Establish your . . . authority?”

“Yes. You do as he asks tonight and in the future, he’ll do anything to be with you again.” Devin stopped in front of another office. “We have several stops to make this afternoon.” Devin turned to face her, placing his hands on her shoulders and looking directly into her eyes. “I need their support. You will help me get that support. Do your best and I will be happy. They’ll all be at the Gathering this weekend, and you’ll be the most popular girl there.” Devin kissed her forehead. “Make me proud, Baby.”

When it was time for Devin to take Anna to meet the senator, Devin summoned a chauffeured car, and they drove to a nearby apartment building. Devin instructed the driver to wait and then led Anna inside to an apartment on the fourth floor. He knocked and the door swung open, revealing the senator wearing a broad, almost malevolent, smile on his face.

Devin shoved Anna inside when she didn’t move voluntarily. “I’ll pick her up in the morning.”

Anna gave him her practiced smile and waited for the senator to close the door. She knew what was expected of her and suspected it wouldn’t be a pleasant evening. But nothing could compare to what Devin had done to her before they’d left... could it?

“Come on in, sweetheart.”

Anna walked further into the apartment. It had a large living area, pleasantly furnished with heavy wood and leather furniture. The senator led her through a doorway and told her to take off her clothes. She obeyed and turned around to see the senator approaching, holding a long black stick in his hand. He pushed a button and the end crackled with a blue, flickering light.

She sucked in a shaky breath as she stared at the cattle prod. Her hands shook and she clasped them in front of her.

He flashed a wicked grin and made the terrifying instrument crackle again. “Devin told me you have a high tolerance for pain.” He lowered the end and brought it to Anna’s nipple. “I think we’ll have lots of fun tonight.”

Chapter 105

The sound of men speaking nearby dragged Anna from the peaceful blackness.

“No permanent damage, I assure you.”

“I appreciate that, Jerry. I’d hate to have to kill you for hurting her permanently.”

She heard strained laughter, then silence. “O-of course, Devin.”

“Is she awake?”

“I don’t know. I knocked her out pretty good last night.”

Devin sighed. “I have things to do today, you know.”

Footsteps approached and she opened her heavy eyes to see Devin lower himself to look into her face. “Anna? Are you awake?”

She closed her eyes to gather her strength to move, and groaned as she turned onto her side. Senator Weir had spent hours torturing her with the cattle prod and fucking her in every way possible when she stopped responding to the crackling electricity. Her hair and face were covered with dried cum, and her ass and pussy felt like they were on fire. She obviously hadn’t had enough sleep to heal properly.

“Hey, Baby. How are you feeling?”

Anna forced a small smile, not wanting to upset Devin. “Okay,” she whispered.

Devin helped her sit up. “Get me some water for her, Jerry. And a washcloth.”

The senator hurried out of the room. Devin smoothed her hair. “We’ll get you back to the hotel room and you can take a nice bath. How does that sound?”

Anna could only nod in response.

The senator returned with a glass of water and a washcloth. Devin left the room with instructions to clean up quickly. She drank the water and wiped her face and hair before struggling to stand and dress. Thankfully, Devin didn’t rush her down to the car, and she fell into the back seat with a groan. Would he let her take a nap so she could heal?

The car dropped them off at the back of the hotel—to avoid the lobby looking as she did, she supposed—and she limped to the elevators and down the hallway to their suite.

“He’s quite taken with you,” Devin said as he opened the hotel room door. “You did a good job.”

“Thank you, Devin.”

Devin motioned toward the bedroom. “I’ll go get Maggie for you. She has some bath treatments that will help you feel better. We have things to do this afternoon.”
