Page 237 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

She obeyed, holding back a wince as she looked into his kind eyes. She liked his eyes. They were kind. He was kind.

His eyes turned sad. “What I did yesterday... My temper got the better of me. Devin was egging me on?—‍”

“You must obey the Chairman, my lord. You did what you needed to do.” She gave him her practiced smile. “Is there something I can do for you?”

“I wanted to apologize.” He gave her a shy grin. “Maybe you’d let me make it up to you?”

Anna’s brows twitched. “How?”

“Are you done eating?”

Anna looked down at her half-eaten lunch. “If you’d like, my lord.”

Tommy shook his head. “Finish eating.”

“No, really, my lord. I?—‍”

“Finish eating. I can wait.”

Anna did as instructed, and he told her about growing up with so many siblings. When she was done, he took her hand and led her to a pavilion at the side of the field.

He untied the ropes to close the walls and pulled her into his arms. “I like you, Anna. A lot.” He cupped her chin and captured her lips with his, caressing them. Warmth spread through her body, and she slid her hands up his chest and over his shoulders to clasp them behind his neck. His hand slid behind her head to cradle the back of her head and he deepened his kiss, slipping his tongue between her lips.

Anna moaned softly as he held her close. One hand slid down her back and to her hip. He pushed her back gently and onto the bed behind her. Anna sighed as he lay down on top of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply. His hand slid up her side and caressed her breast, eliciting a soft moan.

“God. I could stay here with you forever.” He kissed her neck and trailed his tongue down and across her collarbone.

Anna pressed her head into the bed and lifted her chest up. He chuckled and pulled the top of her dress down, taking a nipple into his mouth. They both moaned as he sucked the hardened nub. She pressed her hips up against his, feeling his erection against her. “Tommy...” She ran her hands through his hair as he moved to her other breast.

He sucked and licked at her breast, and she squirmed beneath him. She wrapped her legs around his hips, her body aching for him. She had given plenty of blowjobs today but hadn’t had sex, except for early morning with Devin. He’d been surprisingly gentle with her.

But she didn’t want to think about her Master right now. She wanted to think about Tommy. Sweet Tommy.

Tommy pulled her dress over her head and tossed it on the floor, then removed his tunic, revealing his well-defined upper body. Anna smiled and ran her hands across his chest. He said he’d played football in high school and was hoping to play at Harvard, too.

He moved up and kissed her cheeks and jaw and lips, then moved down to her neck and breasts. She smiled, realizing he was kissing all the places he’d hurt the day before. He moved down to her belly and moved lower, spreading her legs apart. “Oh, Anna...” His tongue flicked out and into the silken folds, humming his pleasure as he tasted her. He leaned forward and buried his tongue deep inside her.

Anna moaned loudly as he thrust his tongue inside her. “Tommy...” She laced her fingers through his thick hair. His lips clasped around her clit and sucked gently, making Anna sigh and cry out softly. “Oh! Oh, Tommy!” Her belly tingled and she moaned; the stirrings of an orgasm grew stronger and stronger until her world exploded into bright colors.

Tommy moved back up to kiss her mouth. “Hmm,” he said in a deep whisper. “I still have my pants on.” He chuckled and rolled to his side.

Anna sat up and untied the waistband of his pants and helped him push them down his hips. She saw he now had the double-ring piercing. “Does it hurt?”

“It did.” He lay on his back and caressed her hip. “Doesn’t now. ‘Course, I took a shitload of pain relievers this morning and last night before I went to bed.”

Anna leaned down and kissed the new piercing. “Did you go on the Hunt?” she asked before taking him gently into her mouth.

Tommy groaned. “Nah. My dad said it wouldn’t be a good idea. That I’d be hurting really bad this morning if I did. Tyler went, and he was really sore this morning.”

Anna smiled. She was glad he hadn’t gone. She gave him the best blowjob she could muster until he sat up and pushed her onto her back. “I want you...” He positioned himself between her legs and thrust forward, groaning as he sank himself deep inside her. “Oh, God, Anna...”

He moved slowly at first, and Anna wrapped her legs around him, savoring his presence. He pressed his lips against hers and quickened his movements. They both moaned and sighed as their bodies moved together in rhythm. Faster and faster they moved against each other until they both exploded in each other’s arms.

Tommy pressed his damp brow to Anna’s and smiled at her. She smiled back. She really liked him. It was too bad he lived on the other side of the country. He kissed her several times, then rolled off and hugged her to his side. He pulled the blanket up over them and they lay in the quiet darkness together.

She was about to drift off when a strange sensation coursed through her body. Like Devin was calling for her, but with his mind instead of his words. She sat up. “I have to go.”

“Huh? What?” Tommy rubbed his eyes and frowned.
