The Life of Anna, Part 5: Emerged (53 page)

The idea of Devin not being in her life, of
not being afraid anymore was wonderful. But was it really possible
that she would be free of the two men who hurt her? Jack was
already dead. Devin would be soon. What would her life be like when
that was done? “Are we really going back to San Francisco when all
this is done?”

Alex sighed. “I don’t know. I know I said
that, but I was angry and wanted you away from Hugo. Honestly,
Schatzi
, I don’t know how long Vati will let me stay out
of
Deutschland
. Having been in Russia for so long...I have
a lot of time to make up for.”

“Would I have to stop dancing?”

Alex turned onto his side and cradled her
cheek in his hand. “Not until you’re ready to stop.” He smiled
affectionately and moved his hand down to her stomach. “Although, I
would love to start our family soon.” His eyes turned sad. “I’m
thirty-three and have no legitimate children. That is very unusual
in my family.”

Sadness for Alex squeezed her heart. She
hadn’t thought about that fact. He was eight years older than she
was. Of course he needed to start his family.
Their
family. If he hadn’t been captured, perhaps they would have had a
child already. A
son
.

She put her hand on his. “If you want to
return to Germany after Devin is taken care of, I will go
willingly.”

His eyes brightened. “You would do that for
me?”

Anna nodded. “I would miss dancing, but there
are other things more important than that.” She didn’t mind the
idea of living with Wilhelm and Ilsa. It would be nice to have
family around her.

“Anna, we don’t necessarily have to live in
Frankfurt. At least for a while. Stuttgart has a very good ballet
company and it’s a little over 200 kilometers away from
Frankfurt.”

Anna looked at him blankly. “Kilometers?”

Alex smiled and then narrowed his eyes with a
thoughtful expression. “About...125 miles. That would be close
enough to keep Vati happy.”

Anna nodded. “That wouldn’t be too bad.” She
inhaled sharply. “What about Aaron?”

Alex’s eyes became sad again. “I’ve hardly
seen him since you and I got back together,” he said softly. “I
don’t know....”

“He’s not dancing tonight, why don’t the two
of you go out?”

Alex looked away. “He’s probably with
Cameron.”

Anna giggled. “I’m sure Cameron wouldn’t mind
seeing you.” She studied him. “Are you okay with Aaron having a
boyfriend?”

He shrugged. “I guess it’s kind of weird. I
was the first guy he was ever with.”

“I didn’t know that.” That would explain the
longing looks Aaron gave him when Aaron thought no one was looking.
But Anna saw them.

“Does that upset you?” Alex asked softly.

“That you were the first guy Aaron was with?
Why would that bother me?”

“I think he still has feelings for me. When
he came here that first night...he acted kind of strange.”

Anna swallowed. “Did you two...?”

Alex quickly shook his head. “I haven’t been
with him since...well, since before I met you. Met you in real
life, that is.”

“Oh.”

“Maybe he’d want to move with us, if you’d be
okay with that. After all, he is part of the German
Brotherhood.”

“As a friend or as a lover?”

Alex’s eyes widened. “As a friend. Anna, you
are my lover.”

“What about at a Gathering? Would you be with
him there?”

Alex blinked and then frowned. “I don’t know.
It’s been so long since I’ve been to a Gathering.” He sighed.
“Maybe. But the world of the Brotherhood is different than the
normal world.”

“I know. I wasn’t trying to make you feel
bad. I guess I was just wondering.” The idea of the two of them
being together didn’t bother Anna overly much. She’d rather him be
with another guy than one of the Elder-Mistresses.

“We have a while before we have to decide
anything like that,
Schatzi
.” He gave her an affectionate
look. “If you want, I will speak to him. I’m certain the Stuttgart
Ballet would welcome both of you.”

Anna nodded and cuddled up next to him. They
lay quietly together, Alex slowly stroking Anna’s back and
arms.

“Anna, would you be willing to be with
Sebastian today?” Alex asked in a soft voice.

“I.... If you want me to.”

“He says that it wouldn’t be wise to wait
much longer. What Essence I have is fading and it’s easier to do a
‘refill’ than to start over.” He shuddered slightly. “The first
time wasn’t very pleasant.”

“Really?” Anna smiled slightly. “Why?”

“Well, first of all, I wasn’t with you. And
secondly, it made me feel...weird. I felt out of control.” He gave
her a sad look. “I didn’t plan on fucking Irina. I didn’t want to.
But I just...had to.”

Anna pressed her lips together and nodded.
“As I understand it, it can be rather strong.” She looked up at the
ceiling.

“When I become Elder, you will be the one up
there with me.”

“Will someone tell me what to do next
time?”

Alex nodded soberly. “
Ja
, Anna. I
will make sure you know what is happening.”

“If I hurt you, I will heal you,” Sebastian
said walking towards Anna later that evening. “I’ll try not to, but
I’m not often with an Elder-Mistress.” He grinned sheepishly. “I’m
a little excited.”

Anna smiled nervously and nodded. She didn’t
want to be hurt. She glanced at Alex, who sat on the bed watching.
He gave her an encouraging smile. This was it. She would be giving
of herself to Alex. Willingly, save her fear of being hurt. She had
no idea if it really could be a pleasurable process, and
Sebastian’s words weren’t exactly encouraging.

Sebastian sat on his heels on the floor on
the soft rug and pulled Anna down between his legs. He pulled her
close to him between his thighs, her back to his front. His hands
ran up and down her thighs and she heard him murmuring in another
language. She closed her eyes, melting back against him as he
brought his hand slowly up to her breasts. He pinched her nipples
and she gasped at the pleasurable pain his fingers produced. He
held her nipples, the pain as sharp as a knife, and kissed her neck
before biting the junction of neck and shoulder hard. He released
her nipples and they throbbed as his teeth dug into her neck. He
released her and soothed the bite with his tongue. Goose bumps
appeared all over her body as he ran his hands up her arms, to her
shoulders, and once again grasped her nipples in the knife
grasp.

She moaned softly as he pulled and twisted.
The pain was doing something to her head and she felt dizzy.

“Good girl,” he murmured. “Let yourself
feel.”

It was all she could do: feel his breath, hot
on her neck; his fingers running up and down her arms and legs; his
cock pressed into her back.

She shivered and moaned as he explored her
pussy with long fingers. He spread her open, pinched her clit,
pulled the inner folds of skin and then finally pressed inside
her.

“So wet and swollen, Anna,” he whispered.
“Beautiful.”

She was dazed. She couldn’t open her eyes if
she wanted to. Her body was under his control. He circled her clit
with wet fingers once...twice...three times, and a sharp orgasm hit
her like a wall and her body shook as she screamed in pleasure. He
held her back against his body and played with her clit again,
making her come over and over again. Tears streamed down her face
at the intensity of the sensations.

“This was just our warm-up, love,” he
whispered, then lay her down on her belly.

He kissed her back and shoulders and made his
way down to her waist and ass. His tongue swirled around her ass
and she moaned as he pressed his fingers inside her pussy and
tongue-fucked her ass. He rubbed the roof of her pussy and made her
come again with a shudder. The orgasms were melding into one
continuous pleasure wave of sensation.

His hot body stretched out over her and they
intertwined fingers. He bit her neck again and she felt him take
control of her; take her body for his own. Their minds melded as
she anticipated their bodies joining.

Bright colors blocked her vision as he
brought her to her hands and knees and began to enter her. She
stretched around him, amazed at his girth and she whimpered as her
body struggled to accommodate him. He leaned over her, kissing her
back and shoulders as he filled her.

“Feel, Anna. Feel the pain and the pleasure.
Together, they make ecstasy.”

She stiffened and cried out in pain as he
reached her cervix. She tried to pull away, but he held her firm.
He massaged her breasts and kissed her back as he pressed forward.
More pain, cramping as he went deep into her body.

Fear gripped her. He was hurting her, just
like Kaveh did. She struggled to get away again as her tears fell
to the ground beneath her face. The pain intensified as she felt
him swelling inside her and she screeched as she felt her entrance
tear.

“Yes, Anna. I know it hurts. But I will heal
you. Trust me, Anna. You were made to take me as I am.”

She stiffened and screamed again as she felt
him go deeper and widen more. Her arms were trembling and she could
hardly hold herself up. Sebastian put one hand on the ground and
supported her with his other arm. Her body was on fire. Her stomach
cramped. She whimpered and cried, trying to get away, but he held
her tight.

He pulled out slightly. “Feel the pleasure in
the pain, Daughter,” he said and slammed back into her body. Her
eyes rolled back into her head at the instant orgasm that came from
his violent thrust. He did it again and again and again. Her body
was pure sensation. Pure pleasure. Pure orgasm. She flew in the
light of pleasure; waves rolling over her that took her higher and
higher. There was no pain, there was no body. There was only
orgasm.

Alex watched Anna’s face contort in pain,
tears streaming down her face. She scratched against Sebastian’s
grip and Alex stood to pull her away from the Immortal. Sebastian
was hurting her. He had promised he wouldn’t, and he was.

He walked around the bed towards them.
Sebastian held up his hand and Alex was pushed by an invisible
force back onto the bed and held there.

“Let her go, Sebastian!” he bellowed. “You’re
hurting her, let her go!” Irina hadn’t reacted like this, she’d
been writhing in ecstasy the entire time.

Anna screeched and Alex’s eyes watered. He
struggled against the invisible force holding him on the bed. What
the hell was Sebastian doing to her? Why was he hurting her?

“Anna!” he shouted. “Sebastian, let her
go!”

Sebastian pulled back slightly and Alex
relaxed, thinking he would let her go, but then he slammed back
into her and Anna stiffened and screamed again. But this scream was
different. Her mouth was wide open and her eyes tightly closed as
if...she was climaxing? Her face flushed and her neck muscles
strained as Sebastian pounded into her over and over again.

Sebastian growled and let out a primal yell
as he thrust deeply into Anna’s body. Was Anna breathing? Her back
was arched as if Sebastian was pulling her up by her hair, but
Sebastian’s fingers were pressing hard into her hips. Their bodies
seemed frozen in a permanent orgasmic state and Alex could only
stare. It had not been like this when Sebastian had taken Irina.
Sebastian hadn’t seemed to have lost control with the Russian
Elder-Mistress like he had lost it with Anna.

After what seemed like hours, Anna slumped
forward, her chest on the ground. Alex lunged forward, surprised
that he could and gathered her into his arms. She was limp and
barely breathing. Sebastian sat back on his heels, hands resting on
his thighs and chest heaving. His cock was still large and
semi-hard, but dripping with Anna’s juices and...was that
blood?

“What the hell did you do to her?” Alex
growled, punching at Sebastian’s chest with one hand while he
cradled Anna with the other arm.

Sebastian grabbed his fist before it made
contact and looked at him with glowing blue eyes. “Don’t,” he said
in a low voice, filled with warning. His skin was glowing slightly
and he looked very...Immortal.

Alex pulled his hand away, never having seen
his friend like this. Sebastian leaned forward, resting his
forehead on the floor in front of him. His ribcage expanded and
contracted as he gasped for breath, another thing Alex had never
seen in his friend. What had happened?

He looked down at his beautiful wife with
regret. She was so pale, the dark hair sticking to her face a sharp
contrast. Her chest and face were covered with a sheen of sweat. He
smoothed back her wet hair and rocked her gently. “Anna?” he
whispered to the limp body. He put his fingers to her neck and was
relieved to feel a pulse. “Anna....”

“She’ll be okay, Alex,” Sebastian said in a
hoarse voice after a few minutes. “I’ve never....” The Immortal
shook his head. “I didn’t realize how powerful she was before....
No wonder Devin was able to do what he did.”

Alex glared at Sebastian and noticed,
although he was glowing, his face was slightly pale. “What do you
mean? Why did you hurt her?”

Sebastian sat down on his hip and reached out
for Anna. Alex pulled her away. “Let me heal her. I tore into her
pretty hard.”

Alex growled. “I know.” But he allowed
Sebastian to touch her.

Sebastian placed his hand on her lower
stomach and closed his eyes. Anna groaned slightly, but didn’t
awaken. “I took her,” he said softly. “I took her as I took Irina,
but her power overwhelmed me. I couldn’t....” He gave Alex a
sorrowful look. “I couldn’t control myself. She came inside me and
consumed me. I had to get control or I would have killed her.
That’s why I hurt her, Alex. Her pain pulled her away from me
enough for me to get control. I’m sorry. I had no intention of
doing that, but if I hadn’t, I would have killed her.” He stroked
her thigh slowly. “I still lost it at the end. Her orgasms are very
strong. I could feel her coming, but she didn’t feel the pain at
that point. She was in...what some humans call sub-space. Beyond
knowledge of anything except feeling.”
