Anna cried out and he smiled at the tears in her eyes.

“I like it when you’re in pain, Baby,” he said quietly. “It turns me on.” He released her nipple and she sucked in a shaky breath. “Of course, I also like watching you come. Remove your clothing and lie down on the bed.”

Anna obeyed and laid her clothes on a chair next to her.

“Did you also know that an Immortal’s cum has the same qualities that you have? By taking it into my body, it gives me an... infusion of Immortality and the powers associated with it. That’s why we’re fucked by the Immortals when we become Elders. We all have an element of the Immortal in us. I happen to have more because—‍” He laughed. “Well, because I wanted it, and I took it.” He sat on the bed next to her. “When you combine an Immortal and an Elder-Mistress, it becomes even more powerful. That’s why the pregnancy every year. That’s why I can do the things I do. But...” Devin traced circles around her breasts. “Being with the world Elders made me realize how limited my powers are outside my own country, and I can’t be limited to my own borders. Eventually, I will need to make the world Elders understand that I know what’s best for them, and I can’t do that with what I have.” He looked deeply into her eyes. “I need more of you, more of your essence and the essence of the Immortals.”

Anna’s breath grew shallower and shorter as he spoke. She fisted her hands. “Are you going to kill me again?”

“Oh, no. That wouldn’t do any good. The powers wear off after a while, which is why I need you here with me, and why the Spring Ritual must be performed each year. But I need more than that if I am to succeed. I don’t want to have to fly to D.C. every time the fucking president decides he doesn’t want to listen to me. My very words need the power, not just my body.” He smiled and slid his fingers down her thighs and then up again and slid a finger inside her body. He pulled it out and held up his wet finger. “This is your essence, Anna. Your power in liquid form.” He sucked on his finger. “By itself, it can manipulate men into wanting to do what you want them to do. It can reinforce my own manipulative skills for a time. But combined with an Immortal’s cum, it’s almost as good as your dead babies.”

Anna clenched her teeth, trying to not react to his words, but the way he casually spoke of such cruelty both broke her heart and terrified her.

He chuckled. “I didn’t fully understand that until my most recent trip to Vitaly’s—well, Vlad’s now—home. He has some very interesting books at his disposal. Books that aren’t supposed to exist anymore. I have a few of the same, but his collection is truly amazing. One spoke of a man who had multiple Elder-Mistresses and Immortals under his control. By using their own powers against them, he could control the Immortals and everyone around him.” He sighed. “I can never hope to have multiple Elder-Mistresses, but I can use the one I have and suck her dry. Literally.”

He leaned down and licked at her pussy for a few minutes. Anna squirmed and moaned. He sat up and licked his lips.

“Mmm. So sweet.” He leaned his head against her knee and pulled at her rings. “It won’t be all unpleasant, Baby. Orgasms create more juices. I think you might enjoy yourself.” He grinned. “Kaveh will be a common bedmate.” He smiled with wicked eyes. “Kaveh likes a good chase, though. Your passiveness bores him. So, from now on, you will fight him like mad and he will get off on subduing you. Do whatever you’d like to avoid him. I’m sure he can give you motivation if you don’t fight hard enough.”

Anna looked up at the ceiling as a sad realization dawned. “Is this all I’ve ever been to you, Master?”

“What are you talking about?”

“When I was younger, I thought you adored me.” She swallowed. “Was it all a lie?”

Emotion flickered in his eyes, but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared. “I did care for you, Anna. More than I should have. But this was my ultimate purpose. Why I claimed you at birth. Why I—‍” He paused and studied her, a wicked glint in his eyes. “Why I killed your parents.”

Anna’s mouth hung open as she stared at him, her eyes welling up with tears. Her mouth moved in shock until she strangled out her words. “You... You... But...” She shook her head. “No, they crashed. Off the bridge.”

Devin grinned. “Of course they did. A huge SUV slammed into them and helped them off.”

She trembled. “Why?”

“Because your father was getting suspicious, and I couldn’t allow him to take you from me. My plans were already in motion. That, and it was time to start turning you into a sex addict. Your whole life has been in my hands, Anna. From the moment I met your mother, I knew she was special. There was a bump in the road when she married your father, but I fixed it before it got out of control.” He shrugged. “Don’t feel bad. I killed my own parents, too.”

Even as shock ricocheted through her body, she asked herself why she was surprised. He had killed Ben in front of her. Why should it surprise her to learn that he had killed her parents? He would kill and do whatever it took to gain power, as Wilhelm had told her. But... “Why? Why do you need so much power?”

Devin laughed. “You want me to soliloquize like an evil villain? Tell you how horrible my father was? How my mother neglected me? No, my mother loved me and my father was good to me, for the most part. But he was weak. The other Elders manipulated him into doing things he knew were weak decisions, which diminished the role of the Elder. I detest weakness.” He looked at her. “You would have been a strong woman, which is why it pleases me so much to see you beg and plead and cry. To see you terrified when you look at me.” He stood and rolled his eyes. “Fuck, I do sound like an evil villain.” He turned her over and kneeled between her legs. “Oh, well. Might as well enjoy the moment.” She heard him unzip his pants and felt his hard cock press against her ass hole.

“Please, Master. Don’t!”

He laughed and thrust forward, ripping her open. Anna screamed in pain. He held her hair, pulling her head back and ramming himself over and over into her bleeding hole, and he didn’t stop until he shouted out his climax. He fell to her side and lay on his back.

“Fuck, that felt good.” He caressed her ass cheek, making her wince with pain. “Go clean yourself up,” he said, smacking her ass hard.

Anna limped to the bathroom, found a washcloth, wet it, and pressed it against her torn opening. With a heavy heart, she bent forward, pressing her head against the cool surface of the vanity, and let her tears flow freely. How quickly things changed.

Devin yelled to her from the bedroom. “Bring a towel. I don’t want you bleeding on my bed.”

She found a hand towel and limped back into the bedroom. Devin’s cock had drying blood on it. From her. And this was how it would be from now on.

He pulled her onto the bed with the towel under her hips and then lay down between her legs. “Kaveh will be here later, but I want a taste now.” He began eating her with a fervor. He bit and sucked and licked. Occasionally, he would bring a finger down and tap at her sore hole, making her cry out in pain. She struggled to get free, but he held her arms down over her thighs to hold her in place. He licked her until she was raw. Then he stood and walked into the bathroom.

He emerged a few minutes later, dressed in a suit and tie. “I have to go in to work for a few hours. Kaveh will be here sometime this afternoon to fuck you. Be on your knees when I get home.” He turned and strode out of the room. She stared at the empty doorway for a minute and then began to sob.

She cried for her parents, for Wilhelm and Kurt, for Alex. She always thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse, but they always did. She longed to call Wilhelm, but didn’t want to bother him with her troubles. It would just make him feel terrible that he couldn’t do anything to help her. So she lay there and cried until she fell asleep.
