Page 81 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

Anna blinked, and her lips parted. “N-no, Master.”

Devin gave her a gentle smile. “That’s a pity. My girls are at that age...” His girls were growing up too fast. He shook his head and moved his focus back to the present. “You should go out and have fun. Date. Have sex. Be young for a while. As Alex said, we only ask that you act respectably and be available when he or I need you.” And when they break your heart, you’ll come crawling back to me and never want to go out again. Alex’s idea had merit.

Anna’s mouth dropped opened, her lips forming a beautiful pink ‘o’ that Devin wanted to ram his cock through.

“That’s... very generous of you, Devin,” Alex said in a halting voice.

Devin cupped Anna’s chin with a gentle hand. “What do you think? Does that sound good?”

“Y-yes, Master. Thank you.” She gave him a timid smile.

“You’ll live close by me.” He stroked her cheek. “I’ll have to come visit you often.”

He leaned down and kissed her, his lips enveloping hers. His fingers trailed down her neck before he pulled her up into his lap and cupped her breast.

“You need to mark her, Alex.” Devin pushed her breast up and bending down to kiss the top of it. She leaned her head back and sighed. He loved how responsive she was. He pulled her dress down to reveal her left breast. “This nipple is free.”

Alex growled. “Elder-Mistresses aren’t supposed to be pierced.”

Devin rolled the nipple between his fingers. “I’m sure the others would understand. Elder-Mistresses aren’t usually slaves, either.” He pinched her nipple and she moaned. “Masters are supposed to mark their slaves. You can’t deny that.”

“That’s true.” Alex frowned and stared across the room for a long moment before speaking again. “Do you have a place I can do it?”

Anna snapped her head up and stared at him. Alex looked back at her and raised his brows. She blinked and looked back down at her hands.

Devin chuckled. “You can do it in her room if you’d like. Or here.”

“Her room will do.” Alex stood.

“I’ll have Ian bring the piercer to you. I assume you know how to get to her room?”

“Of course.”

“Yes, you would remember. You must have an uncanny knack for remembering where things are.”

“It is beneficial in . . . what I do.”

Devin wondered if Anna knew her new Master was a highly trained killer. “Of course it is.” He pushed her off his lap none-to-gently and stood. Anna scrambled to her knees and bowed her head. “When did you want to set her up in the apartment?”

Alex frowned as he looked down at Anna cowering at Devin’s feet. He towered over Devin, his jaw tight. “It’s ready whenever she is. I’d like to take her over there this morning.”

“You took her from me last night. I want her before she leaves.”

“Her car is at her apartment.”

“I’ll drop her off at your place on my way home.”

“When?”

“When I’m done with her,” Devin snapped.

“I want her at my house by dinner. I’ll take her to the apartment tomorrow.”

“Watch it, Elder-Son. I am still your superior.”

Alex narrowed his eyes, once again making Devin thankful for his concern for Anna. “You’re lucky you’re bonded to her,” he said, his voice low and as cold as ice.
