Page 10 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 1

A magnificent golden eagle statue, its wings partially unfurled, commanded attention in the far corner of the room. The height of its spread legs allowed a person to walk through without bending, while its head came close to touching the ceiling. The talons jutted forth onto a wide, raised dais where a beautifully carved black wooden throne sat in the middle.

A curious energy coursed through the room as Anna stepped inside. Something she could only describe as power. She closed her eyes and the energy swirled around her and then surged through her body, melding with her spirit. I belong here.

As she opened her eyes, a flash of light in the room’s corner, near the statue, caught her attention. A glowing man stood there, watching her. No, that’s not possible, is it? People don’t just appear out of mid-air. Or glow.

Anna caught a glimpse of Devin watching her attentively. Had he seen it, too?

“Are you alright?” Devin’s eyes turned hungry and he leaned toward her.

She glanced back at the corner, but it was now dark and empty. Had she just imagined the man? “I—‍” She shook her head, trying to clear her mind. She must have imagined the entire thing. “Yes, Devin.”

Devin smiled. “When you are out of your room, you should act, speak, and stand in a submissive manner. Especially in this room.”

“I’m sorry, my lord.” She lowered her head and clasped her hands in front of her hips.

Devin pulled her close and kissed her forehead. “It’s alright. You didn’t know. Besides, there’s no one in here besides us, so it’s not an issue. I just wanted to warn you. Disobedience is punished, and punished harshly.”

Anna shuddered. She remembered his punishments. She would do anything to avoid them. “Yes, Master.”

He trailed kisses down to her jaw and ran his tongue down her neck to her collarbone. Anna tilted her head back. “Good girl,” he murmured, nipping at her neck. “Let me lead.”

She closed her eyes and let his touch awaken her trained body. She sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist. He responded with another nip at her collarbone, and she giggled.

“You like that?”

“Yes.”

He ran his hands up her ribs and under her t-shirt, caressing the sides of her breasts. She inhaled sharply as his thumbs brushed her nipples. They hardened instantly, and she arched her back into his hands, wanting more of his gentle touch.

He pulled away and she stumbled from the sudden lack of support. “We should go back to your room,” he said, his voice husky. “Remember your demeanor.” He flicked off the lights and opened the door.

Chapter 5

The moment the door to Anna’s room closed, Devin pressed himself against her back, wrapped one arm around her waist, and kissed the side of her neck with a hunger she could feel. He tugged at her braid until it loosened and ran his fingers through her hair to comb out the twisted strands. The scent of her shampoo filled her nostrils as he swept her damp hair over her shoulder and kissed the back of her neck, sucking the skin and eliciting a gasp from her lips. His hands slid down her ribs and then up under her t-shirt to her breasts.

“I like that you’re not wearing a bra.” He caressed her breasts gently and then took her nipples between his fingers and pinched them. Enough to cause pain, but the pain felt good. She moaned as her body awakened once more under his touch. “You like that?”

“Yes...” His touch was gentle, not something she was used to, but enjoyed very much.

He pinched her nipples again and then rolled them between his fingertips. She leaned her head back to rest on his shoulder and he sucked on her neck again.

“I love how responsive you are, Baby,” he whispered in her ear, pinching her nipples again. “I love how you put aside the years of hurt and melt into my arms. You are such a good girl.”

He spun her around and pressed his mouth against hers. She parted her lips and pressed herself against his hard, lean body but held back from being too aggressive. Remembering his instructions to follow the man’s lead, she kissed him back with a passion that matched his, their tongues dancing around each other’s. He pulled her t-shirt over her head in one swift motion.

Fear swirled around her mind as he pressed his erection against her belly, but she pushed it aside. She would please him as she knew how and pray he would be happy in the end. This was her final test from her training with Master Jack. If she could please Master Devin—no, not Master Devin. Just Devin—things would be okay. If not... She pushed that thought aside, too. She needed to concentrate.

Leaning into him, she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Devin picked her up and carried her to the bed. She wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him sensually. They fell back onto the bed, his body pressed against hers.

He trailed his lips down to her neck. She lifted her chin, and he continued the downward trail, veering to the side to kiss her breast. He planted little kisses around the circumference of one breast and then did the same to the other. She arched her back, encouraging him to move to her nipples, but kissed everywhere except there. He sucked on the lower edge of one breast and she squirmed and pressed her hips into his. Slowly, agonizingly, he brought his tongue up to her nipple and took the hardened bud into his mouth. An electric current shot straight down to her clit and she gasped at the unexpected strength of the sensation.

Her mind raced, wondering at how his touch made her feel so much. “Yes, Devin, please...”

He sucked hard and then brought his teeth together to the point of pain, but the pain felt so good... She pressed her head back into the mattress, mouth open as she gasped for air. He repeated the teasing on the other side as she wiggled beneath him.

Anna felt like she would go insane from desire. Her pussy ached for touch. She wrapped her arms around his neck and started to run her fingers through his thick black hair, but snatched her hands away, realizing how dangerous that could be. He grabbed her wrists, and she flinched, but he just put them back into his hair and she took it as permission to touch him.
