She shook her head and sighed. Ending up in bed with him had not been planned. At all. But, oh, was he an amazing lover!
“You okay?” He ran his fingers down her neck.
Anna grimaced. “Yeah. Irritated.”
Hugo leaned down and sucked on her neck. “We can finish later.”
She slid her hand around the back of his head. “I want to finish now.”
Hugo kissed down to her breast and licked her nipple. “Mmm.” He sucked the taut peak, making Anna moan again. “Do you think it wise to leave them waiting?”
“I want you back inside me,” she whispered, reaching down for his very impressive cock that was slick from being inside her just moments ago. “I didn’t invite them over.” She pulled him until he moved back on top of her. “They can wait.”
Hugo grinned and kissed her as he pressed himself back inside her. “God, I’ve wanted you for so long, Kittycat...”
Anna wrapped her arms around him, loving the feel of him inside her. “Me too.”
Chapter 138
Wilhelm sighed and walked to the window. It had been over twenty minutes since Aaron had returned from Anna’s room, saying she’d be out shortly. Would Anna avoid coming out here? He knew she was upset with him. He hadn’t been as attentive as he should have been, but his life had turned upside down—mostly in a good way. Until recently, he’d spent most of his days at the Schloss, planning with the other Elders, or with Alex in his study, planning out the details of his upcoming missions. He was exhausted but looking forward to being able to rest, now that the end had finally begun.
“Hello, Wilhelm. Hello, Kurt.”
Wilhelm spun around to smile at his precious Anna, but instead found himself staring at the man standing behind her, looking rather possessive, with his hand on her shoulder. He assumed the man was Hugo. Anna’s arms were crossed over her chest and she frowned at him.
Kurt stood up from the couch, looking between Anna and the other man, hurt evident in his face. It was quite obvious what they had been doing. Wilhelm clenched his jaw and sucked in a long, deep breath. Getting angry would only aggravate the situation.
But how could she stand there so defiantly, especially with Kurt in the same room? Had she grown so cold? Kurt had told her that they couldn’t be together until they were married, and they’d argued about it. And yes, Kurt’s conduct hadn’t exactly been commendable during their previous meetings. But to continue seeing her ex-boyfriend? That was so unlike her.
Wilhelm cleared his throat. “Hello, Anna.”
“I thought you were going to Philadelphia.”
“We do not have to be there until tomorrow morning. You asked when I would come to visit you...” He shrugged. “This was a good opportunity.”
Anna grimaced and glared at Kurt. “You were supposed to call me before you came out.”
Wilhelm sighed. Her attitude was worrisome. And irritating. He took another deep breath and walked over to her and kissed her cheek. As he straightened, he extended his hand to the man behind her. “Hello. I am Wilhelm Kunzberg Herzogin von Hessen.”
The man smiled and extended his hand. “I’m Hugo Sintzenich. It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.”
Wilhelm thought he detected a hint of a German accent. “You are German?”
Hugo nodded and glanced at Kurt. “Yes,” he responded in German. “I grew up in Dusseldorf.”
Wilhelm chuckled. Anna certainly liked her Germans.
Anna huffed as Wilhelm and Hugo spoke in German above her. She hated not knowing what they were saying. It was bad enough that Wilhelm and Kurt had shown up without warning her, but to exclude her from the conversation by speaking in a language she didn’t understand? And with Hugo, no less? She growled and turned to leave the room. “Let me know when you want to talk to me,” she snapped.
“Anna. Stop.”
She froze mid-step, unable to move forward. He had commanded her. But she wouldn’t back down. She and Hugo were finally together the way they wanted to be, and she wasn’t going to let anything change that. She spun around, ready to defy at Wilhelm, but the anger in his eyes made her rethink what she was about to do.
“Would you mind excusing us, Hugo?” Wilhelm smiled and nodded to the door. “I need to speak with Anna for a bit.”
Hugo glanced at Anna and then back at Wilhelm. “Of course.” He turned to Anna. “See you tomorrow afternoon?”
Anna’s anger softened at his loving smile, and she nodded. “I’ll walk you to the door.” They stopped, Hugo’s hand on the doorknob. She reached up to caress his cheek. “I really enjoyed this afternoon.”
