The Life of Anna, Part 1: Enslaved (22 page)

I looked up at the man. He didn
’t look familiar, but from their conversation, I had to assume that he’d been at the Manor on Friday. I could feel his arousal radiating from him and I scooted closer to Devin, hoping he wouldn’t give me away to him. Devin tightened his arm around me.

The hostess called Devin
’s name and we were led to a table near the window.

“Should I have known that man?” I asked softly after the waiter left.

Devin chuckled and opened his menu. “Not yet, no. Although he got to know you a bit on Friday.”

My eyes widened.
“Oh!” I blushed.

Devin looked amused.

The rest of lunch was very enjoyable. Devin asked me lots of questions about Wilhelm and Alex. I didn’t have a lot of answers but I did the best I could. He especially seemed interested in Alex.

*****

Ian parked on the street in front of Alex’s house and butterflies flew into my stomach. I didn’t understand why I was nervous. I was just here to get my necklace. I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Frau Gersten answered the door. I smiled at her and she nodded politely and told me that Wilhelm was in the living room.

“Thank you,” I said, and walked into the well
-lit room. Wilhelm sat by the fireplace reading a book. He looked up and gave me a bright smile when he saw me.

“Hello, Anna. It is good to see you.” He placed a bookmark on the page and closed the book as he stood. He hugged me and kissed my forehead. “How are you doing?”

"I’m good. You?"

He smiled.
“Enjoying a quiet afternoon. Your necklace is up in my room. I was going to get it before you arrived, but....” He shrugged sheepishly and lifted up the book in his hand. “I got lost in the book. I will go get it.”

I smiled.
“Thank you, Wilhelm.”

While I waited, I walked to the windows and gazed out at the city skyline. He returned a few minutes later and handed me the necklace.

“Was Devin very angry with you?” Wilhelm asked.

“He started to get angry, but stopped when I told him you had it.”

Wilhelm looked thoughtful. “I am truly sorry Anna. I had forgotten to call him. If he had hurt you because of me....” He shook his head. “I never could have forgiven myself.”

“I’m fine. We had a very nice lunch. He’s so different from how he used to be. I mean, he’s like he was before he changed.” I laughed at myself. “I’ve known him since I was little. I adored him then. He was so affectionate and loving towards me. Then he changed....” I shuddered at the memories, but then smiled again. “But he’s back to how he used to be.”

Wilhelm’s face was inscrutable, though his jaw seemed a little tense as he nodded. “I am glad he is treating you well, Anna.”

I looked at the necklace in my hand.
“I should get going. Ian’s waiting for me. Thank you for holding on to it. I’d forgotten all about it.”

“My pleasure, Anna.
If you need anything, please let me know.”

I hugged him. I liked Wilhelm. He was so kind and thoughtful and treated me like a person. I decided I liked
being treated like a person. “Thank you, Wilhelm. I will.”

I looked up at him, suddenly reluctant to leave. His embrace was comforting.

I slowly leaned my head on his chest, hoping he wouldn’t push me away. He didn’t, instead wrapping his arms tighter around me.

Wilhelm is an Elder. Like Devin.

I turned in his arms so I could see his right hand. He wore a large oval ring on his pinky with a standing, double-tailed lion holding a sword. The lion had a crown on its head. Diamonds were inset around the edge of the ring. “Is this your Elder ring?”

His arms were still around my waist and I leaned back against him.

Ja
. Why?”

“I’ve only ever seen Devin’s. He...said something about men of a similar status.” I traced the edge of the ring and felt Wilhelm shiver. I smiled at his reaction. “He meant you, right?”

“I would qualify as someone of a similar status,
ja
. But having the same title does not necessarily mean the same type of man.”

Wilhelm spoke softly and twisted his fingers around a lock of hair that had fallen across my shoulders. He caressed it slowly with his thumb and I took in a shaky breath. His hand moved to the nape of my neck and he smoothed his fingers down the length of my hair, brushing my breast as he passed by. My heart pounded so hard I felt dizzy. He repeated the movement, seeming to brush my breast deliberately as his hand moved down my hair.

I turned and looked up at him, wide-eyed. I hadn’t considered the possibility he’d thought of me that way.
He’s a man, Anna. Of course he has.
He leaned down and brushed his lips against mine, his mustache tickling my upper lip. Tingles ran through my body as I kissed him back. He brought his hand behind my head and ran his fingers through my hair.

“Anna....”

His lips moved to the side of my neck and I sighed into him. He sucked on the tender skin there and I moaned softly as my body reacted to his touch. He brought his hand to my breast and cupped it, his thumb playing with my nipple.

“Wilhelm,” I said breathlessly, clinging to his upper arms and rising to my tiptoes to kiss him again.

I heard footsteps in the entry hall and Wilhelm pulled away quickly. I stood there, staring at his chest, dazed at what had just happened.

Someone called out in German and stopped suddenly. I turned to see Alex in the entryway of the living room. His eyes were wide as he looked at Wilhelm and myself. I looked into his cobalt
-blue eyes and they looked...
hurt? How is that possible? Why is he looking at me like that?

Suddenly it was hot in the room. I needed air. I looked back at Wilhelm for permission to leave. He nodded and I walked quickly past Alex and out the front door. I ran to the car and collapsed in the back seat, trembling.

“Did you get your necklace?” Ian asked.

I nodded, trying to understand the emotions flying through my body. They made no sense.
Why do I care what Alex thinks? Why does it seem that Alex cares about me? He doesn’t know who I am. He doesn’t know that I’ve dreamed about him. There’s nothing special about me.

I looked at the necklace in my hand. Maybe there
is
something special about me, but to Devin, not to Alex.
But why does Alex look at me the way he does?
I shook my head to rid it of this nonsense and stared out the window as Ian drove back to the Manor.

Chapter 16
                   
 

 

 

That evening Wilhelm and Kurt picked me up and they took me to a very nice restaurant near the bay. I didn
’t ask why we didn’t go to Alex’s house. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know.

Wilhelm was the perfect gentleman, not even giving a hint that anything had happened earlier that afternoon. Kurt was cheery and flirtatious, his normal disposition.

After dinner, we went back to Alex’s house. Alex was nowhere to be seen, and Kurt and I went upstairs to watch a movie in the media room. Seth and Tony, whom I had met on Saturday, were there and invited us in. I wondered why they were there.

“You seemed to enjoy the ballet the other night, Anna,” Seth said, giving me a bright smile.

I looked at him, not understanding. “How did you...?”

Seth grinned.
“Tony and I were at the opera house with you guys. I enjoyed watching you enjoying yourself. Tony too.”

I glanced at Tony and Kurt who were on the other side of the long L
-shaped couch.

“I didn’t see you there,” I told Seth.

“Then I did my job right.” He chuckled. “If you’d seen me, something was wrong.”

I frowned at him.
“I don’t understand.”

“You could say we’re Alex’s...bodyguards.”

“Bodyguards?” I thought about Alex. He seemed like he was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. He was bigger than either Seth or Tony and as tall as his father, but broader. I looked back at Seth who just smiled at me and went back to watching the movie.

I frowned and looked at the TV. Why would Alex need bodyguards? Was it because he
’s the son of a duke? But then why wouldn’t Kurt have one? Or even more so, Wilhelm?

We were watching some sort of action movie that was reasonably interesting and I curled up next to Kurt. He kept running his fingers up and down the side of my neck and I had a hard time concentrating on the movie. I ran my hand down his chest and over his cock, which was hard. I smiled and stroked him over his khakis. He groaned softly.

“May I please you, Kurt?” I asked softly, running my thumb from base to tip. I looked up at him and gave him a smile.

He gave me a sensual smile and nodded. I lifted his shirt and pulled at his belt. It came loose and I unfastened his pants quickly. I licked my lips, wanting to taste him. When his cock sprung free, I smiled and lay down on my side. I stretched out my legs on the couch and took him into my mouth.

I wrapped my hand around his shaft and ran my tongue around the slit. He put his hand on my head and groaned as I moved my head up and down, loving the taste of his skin. My tongue lapped the pre-cum that had escaped and I moaned in pleasure.

I felt a hand on my calf and jumped but Kurt didn
’t seem concerned so I continued to stroke and suck on his cock.

The hand slid up to my thigh. I moaned softly as it moved under my dress and caressed my hip, then my ass. My panties
were pulled off and I continued to stroke and suck Kurt, praying that whoever was touching me wouldn’t hurt me. It was difficult to concentrate as the hand moved back up my thigh and gently pulled my legs apart. Fingers trailed up to my dampening pussy.

I moaned as the fingers glided over my outer lips. The blood rushed down to the sensitive
folds of skin as I was spread open. I groaned on Kurt's cock loudly. One of my legs was lifted up and I felt a hot mouth on my pussy, kissing and licking me.

“Mmph!”
I cried as the person’s tongue delved inside me. My grip tightened on Kurt and he groaned too.

“You like that,
Engel
?

Kurt asked.

“Mmm,” I mumbled and nodded.


Gut
.” He petted my hair. “I want to hear you enjoy yourself, Anna. Can you do that for me?” He pulled at my hair lifted me off him.

I looked up at him to see him smiling down at me. He turned me so I was on my back and pulled my dress over my head. As I freed my head from my dress, I looked down to see the top of Tony
’s head between my legs. Kurt unfastened my bra and tossed it on the ground.

“Oh, God,” I cried out as Kurt caressed my breasts and Tony devoured me. His tongue flicked my clit and I moaned. He sucked hard and I found myself already teetering on the edge of an orgasm. He sucked a few moments more and I arched my back and cried out as I came. Tony looked at me with mischievous dark eyes as I relaxed against Kurt.

I moaned in bliss and then looked up at Kurt, who was cradling me against his chest. “I wanted to make you come,” I protested weakly.

He grinned.
“Do not worry, you will. But I thought you might enjoy an appetizer first.”

I bit my lip and looked between the two men. Why were they doing this to me? I didn
’t understand why they were being nice. But, on the other hand, it felt incredible. I gave a shy smile to Tony as he traced my swollen pussy with his finger and looked at me.

“You are delicious, Anna. I might have to have seconds.” He stuck his tongue out and licked me and I jumped. “And thirds.” He licked me again.

I smiled lazily at him and he grinned back. I glanced over at Seth and saw him watching us, rubbing his cock over his jeans. Three men to take care of. And they were nice men. I didn’t mind this at all.

“You want to see what it’s like to be shared, Anna?” Kurt asked, pushing me up and off the couch. “Get on your knees on the pillow,” he whispered, tossing a pillow on the floor.

I obeyed immediately and bit my lip, not knowing what to expect. I looked up at Kurt, frightened. Sharing was never pleasant at Jack’s house.

Kurt knelt in front of me and kissed me passionately. He had taken off his shirt and I ran my hands up over his bare shoulders. Someone wrapped their arms around my waist from behind and moved up to my breasts. They kissed my neck as Kurt pulled on my nipples.

“Mmm,” I groaned against Kurt's mouth. This is much better than anything that happened at Jack’s.

I stroked Kurt
’s cock as I kissed him and he groaned. I reached behind me and felt a hard cock under jeans. I tugged at the button and zipper and pulled him free.

“Fuck, you’re good, Anna,” the man behind me said. Tony. I glanced behind me to give him a smile.

This was my element: pleasing men. This was the one “social” place where I knew exactly what to do. I just hoped they wouldn’t hurt me.
