Chapter 77

The next morning, after rehearsal, Anna found a message from Devin on her phone. He sounded angry and demanded she come to his office at lunchtime. She yanked off her pointe shoes, slid her feet into a pair of sandals, threw on her sweatshirt, and ran out of the studio, shouting to Jenna that she couldn’t have lunch with her.

It only took a few minutes to drive to Devin’s office and Anna wracked her brain the entire way, trying to figure out what she’d done wrong. He had been very loving to her earlier that morning, waking her with gentle kisses and making love to her slowly and gently. What had she done to upset him?

She parked Alex’s silver sports car in the building’s guest parking and tried to remember how to get to his office. It had been over two years since she’d been visited him at work. She texted Devin as she walked into the building, letting him know she was there and making her way to his office.

When Anna stopped at the security desk to ask for directions, she was given a strange look. She must have looked very out of place wearing her dance clothing in an office building, especially in cold October. But when she told the security guard her name, his demeanor instantly turned apologetic, and he gave her directions to Devin’s office.

She hurried from the elevator and saw that Madison was still Devin’s secretary. The woman’s eyes narrowed as Anna approached.

“Is Devin in?”

“Miss... Perkins?” Madison arched her brows as she looked Anna up and down.

“Kunzberg.”

“You changed your name?”

“Yes.”

Madison frowned and then pressed a button on her phone. “Miss Per... er, Kunzberg is here.” She nodded and looked back at Anna. “You can go in.”

Anna bit her lip and walked into Devin’s office, wondering what would happen.

Devin stood at the wall of windows, his stance wide, his hands behind his back.

She paused, and then quietly said his name.

He spun around, his black eyes blazing, and she stepped back. What had she done wrong?

He stabbed a finger toward the table in the corner. She dropped her purse on the couch and hurried to the table, clasping her hands at her waist to keep them from shaking. He took long strides as he crossed the room and turned her away from him, slamming her chest into the table. He pulled her shorts down and rammed himself into her pussy a moment later.

She gasped in pain, but kept quiet as he fucked her hard. Praying he wouldn’t use his spikes, she dug her fingernails into the wood to keep from crying out. She had hours of rehearsal left this afternoon... if he let her go back to the studio at all.

He grunted loudly as he came and then was still, except for loud panting. He flexed and relaxed his fingers on her hips. She didn’t dare move. She squeezed her eyes shut to keep the tears from escaping and prayed he’d let her go soon. The table’s edge was digging into her hips.

After a long pause, he put his hands on the table on either side of her head and leaned down to kiss the back of her neck. “I’m sorry if I hurt you.”

Anna stiffened, confused at his softened tone. He backed away and pulled her shorts back into place. She still didn’t dare move, but followed him when he took her hand and led her to the couch. He sat down heavily and pulled her into his lap, cradling her head against his chest. She didn’t dare relax into his embrace.

“I’m not angry at you, Anna. I’m sorry if I made you think that.” He lifted her chin with his index finger and kissed her. “Thank you for helping me calm down.” He kissed her again, stroking her cheek with his thumb.

When he pulled away, she could see his eyes were no longer blazing with anger. She gave him a tremulous smile. “What happened?”

He frowned. “Fucking Jerry. He vetoed a bill he was supposed to sign.”

“Jerry?”

“The fucking president. I told him I needed the banking bill signed, and he gave into peer pressure and vetoed it. Fucking idiot.” Devin ran his hand through his hair. “We need to go to D.C. on Friday. I need to see him face to face. And with your help,” he smiled, “we’ll be able to show him the error of his ways.”

Her stomach twisted. “Oh.” Whenever they went to D.C. she inevitably ended up in pain. Especially when the president was involved. “Do I need to take time off of rehearsals?”

“See if you can get out of there after lunch. It’s a long flight and the time difference is a bitch.”

“Yes, Devin.”

“Are you hungry?”

She frowned at the change of subject, but nodded. He pushed her gently off his lap and stood. “Let’s go eat. I’m starving.” Before they walked out of the office, he pulled her close and kissed her again. “Don’t let Maddy intimidate you. She’s just jealous.”

“Jealous?”

“I’ve fucked her in the past, but she doesn’t arouse me like you do. And you can take my anger. She gets pissy when I fuck her like I just fucked you.” He kissed Anna’s neck. “You know me and you help me feel better,” he murmured against her neck. “You can take what I give you.” He chuckled. “Feel free to make her jealous.” He opened the door and let Anna go out first. “Maddy, is Trent in his office?”

“I haven’t seen him leave, sir.”

Devin led Anna around a corner and down a wide hallway. “Let’s see if Trent wants to come.” He stopped at a desk where a pretty redhead sat with a headset on her perfectly styled hair. “Hey, Hailey. Has Trent gone to lunch yet?”

Hailey shook her head and looked at Anna with a raised brow. “He just got back from a meeting.”

“Okay. Hailey, this is Anna. Anna, Hailey, Trenton’s secretary.”

“Hello.” Hailey’s tone was neutral, but her eyes betrayed a sense of distrust. Devin kissed Anna’s neck and then nudged her toward a set of double doors like his own. He opened the door and guided Anna inside.

“What the f—Anna?” Trenton stood, his knuckles on the edge of his desk, staring at her until Devin walked in behind her. “Devin, you fucker. You know I don’t like being barged in on.”

Devin laughed. “Ah, but I bring gifts.”

Trenton smiled and pushed back from his desk. “Hi, Anna. What are you doing here?”

“I had her come. Did you hear about the bill?”

Trenton frowned. “Yeah.”

“I’ll take care of it this weekend. Anna and I are flying out on Friday to... have a discussion.”

Trenton chuckled. “If that’s what you want to call it.”

“It’s polite.”

Trenton walked around to the front of his desk. He looked down at Anna’s bare legs. “You in the middle of rehearsals?”

She could feel his arousal. “Yes.”

Devin pushed her toward him and he opened his arms. She smiled. She liked Trenton.

“I can’t say I haven’t imagined having you bent over my desk,” he murmured, running his hands down her ass.

“Feel free.” Devin sat on the black leather couch across the room. “Maybe you can make her feel better than I did. I had to release some steam.”

Trenton looked down at her. “Was he rough with you?”

She shrugged. “He needed it.”

Trenton kissed her and ran his hands down her neck and cupped her breast. Anna sighed at the gentle touch as he massaged it and pressed her hips against his erection with his other hand. “God knows I could use some release too,” he said quietly. “But I’ll be gentle.” He tugged at her shorts and Anna pushed them down her hips. After moving some items around on his desk, he guided her chest onto the hard surface and took a step back. “That is a beautiful sight, isn’t it?”

Anna clenched at his words, knowing both men were looking at her. She heard a zipper and Trenton slid into her.

“Oh, yeah... Fuck.” He held her hips and gently thrust in and out.

She moaned softly and pressed her hips toward him.

“Feel good?”

She nodded and scratched at his desk as she felt a tingling deep inside. “Please, may I come?”

Trenton chuckled. “Absolutely. Just keep it quiet.”

She pressed her lips together and moaned, scratching at his desk as the orgasm overtook her. He grunted and quickened his movements. She squeaked as he rammed himself deep inside.

There was a beep and then, “Mr. Needham?”

Trenton gave a hard thrust and Anna held her breath.

“Yes, Hailey?” he asked in a very strained voice. His fingers dug into Anna’s hips and he throbbed inside her. He was coming as his secretary called him. Something about that aroused Anna and her eyes rolled back into her head as another orgasm overtook her. She bit her lip and tasted blood, trying to keep silent.

There was a pause. “Um, your wife is on line one.”

“Thank you,” he said, his voice still strained. There was another beep and Trenton groaned. “Fuck!” He chuckled. “Did you come again, Anna?”

“Yes . . .”

“I could tell. Damn, that was hot.” He bent forward. “Your lip is bleeding.” He kissed her cheek and then pressed a button on his phone. “Hey, love.”

Anna’s eyes widened. He was talking to Maki on speaker while his cock was still semi-hard inside her now very wet and swollen pussy.

“Hello, dear. How are things?”

Trenton smiled and grunted softly as he pulled out of Anna. “Good, now.” He caressed her ass. “Devin brought Anna over to see me.”

Maki laughed lightly. “Ooh, should I be jealous?”

“Never.”

“Hello, Maki.” Devin stood and walked to the desk.

“Devin, how are you?” Anna could hear the smile in her tone.

“Better than I was. I have to go out of town this weekend.”

“I heard about the bill. That’s not the way it was supposed to go, is it?”

“No. But I’ll deal with it.”

Trenton caressed Anna’s pussy and slipped a finger inside. She was still bent over his desk and she arched toward him. She buried her face in her hands to keep silent.

“Is Anna still there? I don’t hear her.”

“She’s trying very hard to be quiet. I’m making it very difficult for her.”

Maki laughed again. “Lucky girl, Anna. Devin, we need to get together again soon. I haven’t had the pleasure of tasting Anna in a long time. Is she still as sweet, Trent?”

Trenton kneeled and licked at Anna’s pussy. “Oh, yes.” He licked her again.

Anna gasped in surprise and pleasure. She desperately tried not to moan, but one escaped anyway at Trenton’s insistent tongue.

“Let me hear you, Anna,” Maki said. “You make the most beautiful sounds when you come.”

Anna looked up at Devin and he nodded. She allowed a soft moan as Trenton sucked on her clit. “Oh!” Knowing Maki was listening turned her on even more. She mewed and moaned as Trenton sucked and lapped gently at her pussy and then kept her cries as quiet as she could as another orgasm exploded in her body.

Devin petted her hair. “Good girl.”

She panted, her sweat-damp forehead pressed against the desk as Trenton continued to kiss her pussy.

“How was that, love?” he asked between kisses.

The sound of panting and moaning came through the phone and then Maki cried out as she came, but how, Anna didn’t know.

“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.

Devin frowned. “Of course not, you idiot. The child.”

Trent sighed in relief. “You scared me for a minute. You’ve put so much work into her.”

“And I need her. No. You’ve seen how happy she is. By just... being nice to her, she’s willing to do anything for me. I suppose there is something to be said about a happy slave. And I only have to do it...” He sighed and looked up at the sky in thought. “... until the bonding ceremony. God, can I last that long?”

“Is it really that difficult to keep her happy? She glowed when you told her she was a good girl for letting me fuck her on my desk.”

“No, I suppose not. But I don’t know if I could control my temper if she turns into a bitch.”

“She’s not that type, Devin, and you know it. She wants to please you. It’s written all over her face.”

Devin sighed again. “I can always apologize if I use her too hard like I did today. I just bent her over my table and fucked her like there was no tomorrow. She was terrified that she’d done something to upset me. I just needed release.”

“See? It’s not that hard.” Trent grinned as he opened the restaurant’s door. “Being nice to her won’t ruin your reputation. It might actually help it.”

Devin walked inside and looked back at his friend. “It needs helping?”

Trent shrugged. “You can do whatever you want. But you might find you actually like the girl.”

Devin frowned. Anna was a slave and nothing more. A conduit for his powers. But she wasn’t unpleasant to have around. “Maybe.”
