Page 357 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

Alex held Anna’s hand as he drove home. By the time she’d taken a long hot shower and they’d eaten dinner, her spirit had lifted. He slowly made love to her, taking possession of her once more, removing any doubts leftover from her time with Devin.

She snuggled close and sighed.

He kissed her temple. “Feel better?”

“Much.”

Alex smiled and let out his own sigh of relief. Devin had kept his word.

Anna traced her finger over his chest. “What did you and Aaron do last night?”

“Drank. We went to the bar with Seth and Tony and I lamented about how you weren’t with me.” Alex chuckled. “I woke up with a very bad headache.” He paused. “Aaron was pissed that I hadn’t told him beforehand that I was going to marry you, but when I told him why, he forgave me.”

“Is he upset?”

“No. Well, maybe a little jealous. He still cares a lot about you, Anna.” That was putting it mildly. Aaron was still in love with her, and Alex couldn’t blame him. His friend had also admitted, after several beers, that he was jealous of Anna, too.

Aaron and Alex had become friends shortly after Alex moved to San Francisco. One night they’d gotten exceedingly drunk and woke up the next morning, having fucked several times in Alex’s bed. Alex wasn’t opposed to being with men, but he generally kept it within his team. He wasn’t attracted to men in general, but out in the field, once the battle was over, sometimes the need for release was very strong.

Over the years, his and Aaron’s friendship had grown stronger and they slept together several times. Seth and Tony would join in sometimes, too. Neither of them wanted anything more than a friendship. They both liked women too much. Before Aaron, Alex hadn’t ventured outside of his team, aside from a few Brotherhood events.

Now that he and Anna were married, though, Alex wondered if he should tell her about his... varied sexual tastes. Being bisexual was expected in The Brotherhood, though. Maybe she suspected already?

“Alex? Are you alright?” Anna cupped his cheek.

He took her hand and kissed the palm. “Yes.”

Anna sat up on her elbow with worry in her eyes. “Did something happen last night? Did you get a call to go out?”

Alex shook his head. “No, Anna. I’ve put out the word that we’re taking a break. I shouldn’t receive any calls anytime soon.”

Anna smiled and lay back down. “I’m glad. I don’t want you to leave me.”

“I don’t want to leave you either.” He chewed his lip, debating whether or not to tell her what Aaron had said.

After quite a few drinks, the topic of sex came up. Aaron had mentioned that if Anna was ever interested in a threesome, he would love to be a part of it. Seth and Tony had laughed and said they should make it a five-some. The thought had turned him on.

It wouldn’t be a bad thing for Anna to have a lover. His mother had one. Many Elder’s wives had them.

He turned onto his side and kissed her neck, trailing his hand down her back to her ass. He caressed her hole and she moaned softly. “Do you like anal, Schatzi?”

She opened her eyes in surprise. “I... as long as it doesn’t hurt.” She studied him for a minute. “Do you?”

Alex looked at her intently and nodded. “I do.” He meant it in both ways, but didn’t assume that she would understand it.

He dipped his fingers into her pussy and then returned to running his fingers around her hole until she relaxed the muscles. When she did, he pressed a finger inside her. He knew she’d had anal many times before. Evil men were rather fond of raping women in the ass.

Her eyes closed and her lips parted as he gently thrust his finger in and out. Her breathing grew shallow and caught in her throat a few times. Suddenly her eyes flew open. “Alex?”

He stopped his movements. “Did I hurt you?”

She shook her head and then bit her lip. “It feels good.” She smiled. “I like it.” She bit her lip again. “Do you—‍” She cleared her throat and looked into his eyes and then looked away. “Do you like men?”

Alex’s jaw dropped. Had she been reading his mind?

Her eyes got wide and filled with tears. “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have asked.”

Alex blinked. “I’m not angry. Just... surprised. Why do you ask?”
