Page 176 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

Anna seemed at ease last night. Perhaps she’d finally made peace with her situation in life. Although it could also be the fact that she was dancing more. Immortals needed a way to stay grounded while on Earth, and the Half-Immortals, especially, needed to maintain a balance between their Immortal and human sides. They usually did it through music or art or dance. Considering who her father was, it wasn’t surprising how much she blossomed when she danced.

When she’d been sitting at his feet last night, she’d closed her eyes and moved her hands as if she were dancing in her mind. It had been subtle and he didn’t mind, as long as it didn’t interfere with her duties, which it hadn’t. A happy Anna made using her so much easier. And now that Alex was leaving, or so Devin had been told, it would be that much easier to maintain his control of her.

Anna stirred in his arms and opened her sleepy green eyes. “Good morning,” she said quietly.

“Good morning, Baby.”

Her hand slid down his stomach to his cock and grasped it. His eyes closed and he moaned as she stroked him with her small but strong hand. He could get used to waking up with her. She was so intuitive about what he wanted. Maybe he should bring her home with him a few times a week. But then he might have to explain Anna to his daughters, and he was reluctant to do so. It would be easier to stay at her apartment a few nights a week.

He pulled her up onto his hips, her entrance at his tip. She giggled and wiggled her hips as he held her in place, not letting her pierce herself on him. He chuckled at her pout. “Sit up.”

She pushed herself up on his chest and he held her above his cock, the tip resting just inside her. She squirmed. “Please, Devin...”

“Be still, Anna.”

Her eyes widened and she froze. He didn’t use her name often. But he wanted her still. He smiled so she’d know he wasn’t angry. He held her above his cock, then abruptly pushed her down on him in one swift thrust. She gasped and let out a cry of surprise. She tried to move, but he held her hips and shook his head. He wanted to be in complete control. He held her in place as he thrust up into her.

“Oh!” She closed her eyes, and when she clenched her vaginal muscles, he groaned. She was naturally so fucking tight. When she clenched, it was amazing.

“Baby, you feel so good.” A tiny smile played at her lips. He pulled her off him and flipped her onto her knees with her chest pressed into the bed, then slammed himself back into her wet slit. He held her hips and fucked her hard. She moaned and clutched at the sheets. He didn’t care if she came.

Devin felt the tingling in his lower spine, then thrust hard and stiffened as he emptied himself into her tight sheath. Anna shrieked into the mattress as she came, her muscles pulsing around his cock.

Breathing heavily, he fell back onto the bed, pulling Anna with him. He kissed the top of her head and ran his fingers over her arm. He wouldn’t allow himself to feel too deeply for her. There were things he needed to do soon that would be challenging, if not impossible, if he fell in love with her. But she was happier and more effective when he was affectionate, and, since he couldn’t yet have her as his mindless puppet, a happy Elder-Mistress was much more effective than a frightened one. “I love you, Baby. I’m so glad you’re here with me.”

Anna looked up at him with wide eyes. She bit her lip and then finally smiled. “I love you too, Devin.” She leaned up and kissed him with her soft lips.

He’d forgotten how nice it was to kiss her. He tangled his fingers in her hair and kissed her deeply, allowing the luxury of losing himself in her love for him.

Chapter 76

Anna stared at herself in the mirror. Devin had said to wear a sexy dress to the dinner with Trenton and his wife. She hoped the short black dress would be sexy enough. It was low cut, but not as low cut as some of her other dresses. But the skirt was flared and she thought he would appreciate that. Easier access to her. She wore stockings, a thong, and a push-up bra underneath.

After checking her makeup, she slipped into her three-inch black heels. Someone knocked at the door. She rushed to open it with a smile, expecting Devin.

But it wasn’t Devin. It was her new neighbor, Greg. “Oh!”

Greg grinned, looking her up and down. “Wow,” he said. “Going out, or is this what you wear to hang out at home on a Saturday night?”

Anna blushed. “I’m going out.”

“That’s good. Otherwise, that would be a waste of a very sexy dress.”

“You think it’s sexy?” she asked, hoping he wasn’t lying to make her feel better.

Greg gaped at her as if she had grown a second head. “Are you kidding?” He laughed. “I can’t imagine much sexier.”

She smiled in relief. “Thank you.” She hoped Devin would agree. She looked over his shoulder, hoping Devin wouldn’t see her talking to him. “C-can I help you with something?”

“Oh, yeah.” He shook his head. “You made me forget.” He gave her a disarming grin and she bit her lip. He really was handsome. “I was wondering if your cable was working. Mine stopped a while ago, and before I called the cable company, I thought I’d check and see if it was just my line or if it was the building.”

“Um. I don’t know. I haven’t had the TV on all evening.”

“Would you mind checking? If it’s not too much trouble.” He gave her an apologetic smile.

“Sure . . .”

“I’ll wait here,” he said with a smile.
