Page 38 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

“I’d forgotten this was here,” Anna said, her voice breaking. “I’ve never seen it.” Jenna had told her about it during one of their hushed bathroom conversations.

“From what I gather, they installed it on the first anniversary of their death.” He paused. “Didn’t your guardian bring you to the ceremony?”

“No.” Anna looked up at him. “How do you know when it was put in?”

“I’m on the Board of Trustees.”

“You are?”

He nodded, staring at the statue. “For some reason, I’ve always had an interest in ballet. My best friend is a principal.” He paused. “I wish I’d been able to see them perform.”

As Anna looked back at the statue, a sense of longing filled her heart. “I loved watching them dance.”

Alex took a breath to speak, but Kirsty appeared by his side at that moment, and he snapped his mouth closed and took a step away from Anna.

“Hey, sexy,” she said, kissing him fully on the mouth.

He stiffened, but returned the kiss.

Anna turned away and returned to Kurt’s side, where they were still talking with the other couple in German. Kurt put his arm around her waist. She pushed aside the nostalgia that had bubbled to the surface. Her purpose here was to be a good companion to Kurt and please him later in bed. Not to lament her past losses.

“Are you having a good time?” Wilhelm asked her as the other couple walked away.

Anna nodded. “Thank you for bringing me. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been here and I’d forgotten how beautiful it is.”

Alex and Kirsty walked up, and Alex handed out the tickets. “Shall we go in?” Alex motioned toward the theater.

While the group made their way up the marble staircase in the lobby, Kurt held Anna’s hand and intentionally lagged behind.

“Vati, we will follow in a moment.” Kurt pulled her through a pair of simple wooden doors that led to another set of stairs, though they weren’t as nice as the steps they’d just climbed.

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. “No one uses these stairs,” he murmured against her mouth. She kissed him back, parting her lips for his tongue to slip through. He thrust sensually in and out of her mouth, making her remember sucking on his cock the night before, and her body awakened as it was trained to do. He’ll probably wait until we’re back at Alex’s house to hurt me... Master Jack said it wasn’t as much fun to inflict pain when he couldn’t get a reaction out of a woman. She pushed aside her fear and pressed her body to his, feeling him hard against her stomach. Enjoy the good moments.

Kurt trailed kisses down her neck and to the tops of her breasts. She leaned her head back. He pulled at the top of her dress, exposing her breasts to the cool air. She gasped and clung to his shoulders as he took a nipple into his mouth and sucked.

“If your dress were not so long, I would push you up against the wall and fuck you right here.”

Her body tingled at the thought and she squeezed her thighs together. “I’d like that,” she said, her voice husky. At last, she was back in the position she was most familiar with—pleasing a man sexually.

“Are you wet for me, Engel?” he whispered.

“Ja,” she said with a sensual smile, trying out some German.

He groaned into her breast. “I like you speaking German.” He sucked her nipple again, biting gently.

“Oh, Kurt...” Her pussy grew swollen and wet, ready to take him inside. He spun her around and pushed her against the wall, pulling up her skirt. Oh God. He’s going to fuck me right here. “Oh, please...”

Suddenly, the door opened and Kurt leaned forward, sheltering her from the sight of the person who had opened the door. Anna turned to see Alex stepping inside and closing the door behind him, his face the epitome of disapproval.

He shook his head. “It’s about to start.”

“Do not look at me that way, großer Bruder. Oh, excuse me.” Kurt gave a mock solute. “I meant, my lord and master.” Kurt glared at him. “You have used this area, too. For this exact purpose.”

Alex growled something in German.

Kurt responded in German and helped Anna fix her dress. He kissed her cheek and winked. “We will continue this later.”

Alex snapped something else in German and Kurt dragged her out of the stairwell. Anna gave Alex an apologetic look as she stumbled past. He shook his head and frowned as he closed the door behind her. Kurt led her to a box in the center of the balcony and into the first row of seats next to Wilhelm. Kirsty sat in the row behind, and Alex took a seat next to her.
