Page 140 of The Life of Anna-Tenth Anniversary Edition: Act 2

“I think she liked it,” Devin said with a smile. “Was that by yourself or with your assistant?”

“Myself. Brady’s gone to lunch. I was hoping for some phone sex.” She giggled. “Thank you, Trent.”

“Always my pleasure, love.”

“So, Devin,” Maki said, and Anna could picture the woman composing herself behind a large desk somewhere. “What’s your schedule like? I want a turn to play with Anna.”

Devin laughed. “We’re leaving Friday afternoon, so either before or after that.”

“Tonight?”

“I love your eagerness, Maki,” Devin said. He glanced at Trenton, who was still teasing Anna with his tongue. “Sounds good. Your place or mine? Anna’s living with me now.”

“How wonderful. Either is fine. Discuss it with Trent and let me know.”

“Sounds good. I think he’s having lunch without me.”

“Lucky man. I will see you all tonight.”

The call ended, and Devin glanced at Trenton. “Care to join us for lunch?”

Trenton gave Anna’s pussy one last kiss. “Sure.”

“I’m going to lunch, Hailey,” Trenton said as the three of them walked out of his office a few minutes later. Anna felt a little weak-kneed.

“Yes, Mr. Needham.” She narrowed her eyes at Anna, making Anna wonder if she had heard anything.

Devin put his arm around Anna and they made their way to the elevator. “How about Shea’s?”

“Devin, I’m not exactly dressed for that place.” Anna had been to the upscale restaurant with him a few times and knew a certain level of dress was expected.

He looked her up and down. “Hmm. Yes. You need to keep a change of clothes in your car for situations like this.”

“I will from now on. I promise.” She bit her lip and looked up at him, hoping he wouldn’t be angry that she hadn’t thought of it before.

“I know you will.” He smiled.

“But if you two want to go without me, it’s okay. I can grab a sandwich on the way back to the studio. I don’t want to ruin your lunch.”

Devin was quiet as they stepped into the elevator. “You probably need to get back to rehearsal soon as well?”

Anna glanced at her watch and nodded. “I’m sorry.”

He kissed her head. “It’s alright. You helped me feel better. I can let you go. But make sure you eat.”

“I will.”

They walked into the lobby. “I’ll call and give you the details about tonight,” Devin said as he kissed Anna goodbye.

“What’s with the change in attitude?” Trent asked as the two men walked out the front door of the office building.

Devin shrugged. “It makes her happy.”

Trenton arched a brow. “You care about making her happy now?”

“It’s a means to an end. When I told her I wouldn’t have Wilhelm killed, she literally kissed my feet and was incredibly obedient for the rest of the night. Kaveh pointed out that, if I treat her right, she might become my willing sacrifice.”

“You’re going to kill her?” Trent exclaimed a little too loudly.
