Page 177 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

She smiled back as relief spread through her body. He wasn’t just trying to trick her into letting him into her apartment. She went to her TV and turned it on, checked a few channels, and turned it off again.

“No, it’s working...” Her voice drifted off when she saw Devin standing in the doorway. He looked at Greg suspiciously, then arched his brows as he turned to Anna. “Hello, Devin. I was just?—‍”

“I just moved in next door and I asked her to check and see if her cable was working,” Greg interrupted. “Mine isn’t.” He ran his fingers through his hair, and something on his arm caught Devin’s attention. Devin frowned at Greg and Greg raised his eyebrows in an almost haughty look. Did they know each other? Anna saw a dark spot on Greg’s right forearm, but she was too far away to see what it was.

“So it’s working?” Greg asked her.

She nodded.

“Okay. Cool. It’s something on my end then. I’ll talk to ya later.” Greg flashed a friendly smile, cocked his brow at Devin, and then turned and walked away.

Anna bit her lips as she watched Devin watch Greg walk away. He turned back to her. “Who is he?”

“He moved in this week. His name is Greg.” She shrugged. “That’s all I know.”

Devin studied her for another moment, then smiled. “Ready?”

Anna nodded, relieved he wasn’t angry.

Anna smoothed her skirt as Devin pulled up in front of a restaurant near the Golden Gate Bridge. He tossed the keys to the young valet and then held out his arm to escort Anna inside. Trenton and Maki waited for them at a tall table near the bar. As they approached the other couple, Devin whispered to Anna to go with Maki.

Maki smiled as the two of them walked into the bathroom together. “I’m looking forward to getting to know you better. My husband has enjoyed doing so.”

Anna nodded with a small smile, not knowing how to respond to the other woman’s comment. Maki took her hand and led her to the large stall at the end, where she pressed Anna against the wall and kissed her. After the initial shock of Maki’s lips against hers, Anna kissed her back.

Maki’s hands roamed Anna’s body and Anna moaned softly as Maki squeezed her breasts. “You like that, pet?” Anna nodded and she squeezed again. Maki smiled and trailed her hands down Anna’s side and to her hips, then kneeled in front of her. “Open your legs.” She lifted Anna’s thigh and moved her thong aside.

Anna clutched the rail behind her and gasped as Maki’s tongue invaded her wet folds. Maki hummed her appreciation, then sucked hard on her clit until Anna came, hard but quietly. Anna’s supporting leg would hardly hold her up, but Maki didn’t let go of the leg she was holding.

“I have something for you,” Maki said softly. “Keep your leg up.”

Anna did and Maki probed Anna’s pussy for a moment, then Anna felt her push something inside. A moment later, the sting began and Anna’s eyes began to water. “No, please, not that,” she whispered.

Maki stood and kissed her. “Don’t fret, pet,” she said in a low voice. “Consider it foreplay.” She squeezed Anna’s breast again. “Devin told Trenton about your cinnamon-flavored pussy and we couldn’t resist trying it tonight. I can’t wait until we get home.”

Anna wasn’t sure what awaited her later. She’d been looking forward to spending the evening with Devin and his friends, but hadn’t been expecting this. What had she done to upset Devin? Maybe her talking to Greg had made him angry?

She followed Maki back to the table in the bar, eyes downcast and trying not to tremble. She sat quietly as the others talked about things she knew nothing about. When the hostess came to let them know their table was ready, she obediently followed Devin and sat next to him. She wasn’t hungry and couldn’t concentrate on the menu long enough to choose something. When the server asked for her order, she pointed to a random entrée.

Devin put his arm around her shoulders and leaned close. “What’s wrong, Baby?”

“Did I anger you?” she asked quietly.

“Why would you think that?”

She looked up at him, eyes watering. “Why do you want me to hurt?”

Devin furrowed his brows for a moment, then smiled gently. “Oh, Baby. I’m not angry with you. Sometimes, to please me or my friends, things might hurt for a bit. But I know you can handle it.” He leaned down and nipped her ear. “And you are going to taste so delicious later. I can’t wait to get my mouth on you.”

Relief flooded her body. “Really?”

Devin nodded. “You don’t need to equate pain with punishment anymore. Sometimes pain is pleasure, remember?”

She remembered. Pain could be very erotic. “So you’re not angry?”

“Absolutely not. I’m very happy with you.”
