There was a long silence and then she was gently pulled back down to the bed. “Go back to sleep, Engel. I will turn the TV on.”
She heard the sounds of late night TV and drifted off to dreamless sleep.
Chapter Six
Anna woke to an empty bed the next morning. A white hotel robe lay across the foot of the bed, and she put it on before wandering out to the living room. Kurt and Wilhelm sat on the couch, talking quietly and drinking coffee. A plate of fruit and pastries sat on the coffee table in front of them.
“Guten Morgen, Engel,” Kurt said with a warm smile.
“Hi,” she said shyly.
Kurt held out his hand and she sat between him and Wilhelm on the couch, curled up against Kurt’s chest. She felt content and happy. Kurt had made her feel so good and loved the previous night. He was still an incredible lover.
“Anna, how would you like to come to Germany for a couple of weeks?” Wilhelm asked.
Anna blinked. She’d told herself she never wanted to go back there. Now...she wasn’t so sure. After all, Kurt would have to be going back soon. He couldn’t leave his kids for long.
“I...don’t know,” she answered honestly.
“I would love it if you came home with us,” Kurt said, nuzzling her ear.
She smiled shyly. “Maybe....”
Kurt kissed her behind the ear and she sighed. Oh, what would it be like to be with him all the time? He put his hand on her hip and massaged the area just above her hipbone that he had discovered was sensitive last night.
She giggled. “Are you trying to seduce me into saying yes?”
Both men chuckled. “Is it working?” Kurt asked in a low, seductive voice.
“Maybe,” she admitted and moaned as his hand moved down to her thigh and under her robe. His fingers trailed up her inner thigh and brushed against her outer pussy lips.
Her eyes closed as his fingers found her clit and slowly circled it, making her moan and squirm. She half opened her eyes to see Wilhelm watching Kurt’s hand intently. He glanced up to see her looking at him and cleared his throat.
“I should leave you two alone...,” he said, standing, but Anna grabbed his hand.
“Why?” she asked
“Anna, it is not right for me to be lusting after you when...you and Kurt are getting along so well.”
Anna jumped as Kurt tugged at her clit ring. She moaned softly and pulled Wilhelm’s hand and he sat back down on the couch. She brought Wilhelm’s palm to her lips and kissed it while she loosened her robe, then moved his hand lower to her breast. Wilhelm looked at his hand for a long moment while Kurt continued circling her clit and kissing her neck. She arched her back slightly and Wilhelm responded by caressing her breast gently and leaning forward to kiss her. Kurt pulled her robe off her shoulders and tossed it on the ground. Wilhelm bent down to take her nipple into his mouth.
“Ah!” she exclaimed as Kurt circled faster and faster. She arched her back and cried out as she spiraled up into her orgasm, flexing her hips against Kurt’s hand.
Anna slumped back against Kurt and panted as both men caressed her body. She tugged at Wilhelm’s sweater and he took it off while she turned to pull off Kurt’s t-shirt. She moved to her knees on the floor and pulled Kurt’s sweat pants off and then did the same to Wilhelm so they were both gloriously naked in front of her.
She looked between the two hard cocks in front of her and then took hold of both of them, one in each hand. Both men groaned and she smiled. She leaned forward to suck on Wilhelm while she stroked Kurt, and then switched. Back and forth she went, enjoying herself immensely.
Suddenly, Wilhelm pulled her up into his lap and had her straddle him. Kurt moved behind her and pulled her up on her knees and pressed into her lower back so she would arch her back. Her eyes widened as he gently pushed into her pussy while Wilhelm held her face and kissed her deeply. She moaned against Wilhelm’s mouth as Kurt thrust in and out gently several times and then pulled out.
He rubbed himself against her asshole and pushed forward slowly. She pulled her mouth away from Wilhelm and dropped her forehead to his shoulder, groaning loudly as Kurt pressed his huge cock into her ass.
She stroked Wilhelm as Kurt fucked her slowly and then put his hands on her hips to bring her up so she could impale herself on Wilhelm.
Her back arched and she cried out in ecstasy as her body was filled with the two men she loved. They moved together in an erotic rhythm and the room was filled with the sounds of their lovemaking.
Anna could hardly breathe for the pleasure surging through her body. She kissed Wilhelm and then turned to kiss Kurt. God, she was so full! They were both well-endowed and she was amazed that they fit inside her.
The rhythm intensified and their movements quickened. Anna felt her body tingling and tightening and then threw her head back and screamed out as an incredible orgasm wracked her entire body. Wave upon wave of pleasure rolled along her nerves. Vaguely she heard both men groan and shout as they, too, found their release.
She panted and rested her head on Wilhelm’s shoulder as he stroked her back. Kurt kissed the back of her neck and then slowly pulled out. He sat heavily on the couch next to Wilhelm and Anna leaned over and kissed him.
“I cannot say I was expecting that,” Wilhelm said with a chuckle as he lifted Anna off his lap. She lay on her back with her head in Kurt’s lap and her hips on Wilhelm’s.
Anna grinned up at both of them. “I liked it.”
Kurt brushed her hair back from her forehead and kissed her, but didn’t say anything. Anna looked up at him and he smiled back, but his eyes were troubled.
“I will be right back,” he said, gently scooting out from under Anna. He grabbed his clothes and walked back towards his bedroom.
Anna watched him leave and then looked at Wilhelm. “Is he okay?”
Wilhelm looked thoughtful. “I am not sure.” He shook his head. “I am sure he is fine.” He handed Anna her robe and then dressed himself.
When Kurt didn’t return after ten minutes, Anna glanced at Wilhelm. “Should I go check on him?”
He looked like he was going to say something, but closed his mouth and nodded. Anna got up and quickly walked to the bedroom. Kurt sat on the bed with his head in his hands.
“Kurt?” she asked softly. He didn’t look up. She went and knelt in front of him. “Kurt? Are you okay?”
He looked up at her with mournful eyes. “Anna, I did not...want that to happen. I wanted you to know I was different now. That I....” He sighed. “I do not want to share you, Anna. With my father. With anyone.”
She cupped his cheek. “I know you’ve changed, Kurt. It’s very evident that you are a different person now.”
He sighed. “Really?”
Anna nodded. “Yes. I noticed it when I first saw you yesterday. I.... You didn’t pressure me into what just happened. I...wanted it. I love your father.”
Kurt frowned. “Oh.” He looked at the ground. A myriad of emotions passed over his face and he shook his head. “I did not want that to happen, Anna. At least, my head and my heart did not. Obviously another part of me wanted it.” He paused. “I cannot share you, Anna. I had a marriage like that, and it failed miserably. She wanted Vati and Alex more than she wanted me.” He gave her a mournful look. “Do you want me? Or Vati?”
“I love both of you. I suppose in different ways, though.” Anna twisted her fingers around each other. “I wouldn’t want you to share me with your father if you didn’t want to. You have been so kind and sweet to me, Kurt. I...haven’t felt loved like that in a very long time.”
Kurt didn’t respond.
“I...can’t be in a monogamous relationship, Kurt. You know that. Devin has me. Devin owns me. He makes me sleep with other men.”
“What if I took you away from him? We could go to Germany and get married and then you could stay with me.”
“You’d want to marry me?”
Kurt nodded. “I have been waiting for you to get
better. Vati suggested it a while ago, but...you were unwell.”
“Devin won’t approve.”
“He does not have to know. Our jet is here. We could leave without him finding out. We could stop on the way to Frankfurt in one of the countries without a waiting period and get married. Then it would be too late.”
“Don’t the Elders have to approve my marriage to someone?”
“They will. Vati has spoken to them about it. You are not safe when you are with Devin, and he is becoming far too powerful while he has you.” Kurt went to his knees. “I would protect you, Anna. I do not go on missions. I would make sure that no harm came to you.”
What Kurt said was tempting. She was scared to death of Devin. He had new ways to torture her and she didn’t like being around him. And she really did like Kurt. A lot. Maybe she even loved him, though she was afraid to think about it. Being in love frightened her. But he loved her. This she knew.
Anna slowly nodded. “Okay,” she gave him a timid smile.
“Okay? As in you will marry me?”
Anna nodded again and Kurt grabbed her and hugged her hard. “Oh, mein Engel. You have made me so happy. Kommen Sie, we will go tell Vati.”
Wilhelm was thrilled with the news. “You cannot tell anyone, though. Until we are in the air, Devin can still stop us. We will leave tomorrow after your birthday dinner.”
Kurt kissed Anna soundly. “And Vati, I am not sharing her anymore. She is mine.”
Wilhelm chuckled. “Agreed.”
Chapter Seven
Hope filled Anna’s heart for the first time in so long. Part of her disbelieved that she really could be happy again, but when she looked at Kurt, the smile that formed on her face was firm evidence of the long-forgotten emotion.
She put on the new pink silk dress Kurt had bought her for her birthday and looked at herself in the mirror. Yes, she was definitely older now. Today was her twenty-third birthday.
Twenty-three would be a good year. She would marry Kurt and stay in Germany for a while. Or forever, maybe. Yes, she would miss dancing, but if giving it up meant being away from Devin, then she would do so happily. Besides, there were dance companies in Germany...just not in Frankfurt.
Kurt walked into the bathroom, looking very handsome in his dark suit, and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek. “Are you about ready to go?”
Anna nodded. They would go to the dinner as planned, but instead of coming back to the hotel, they would go straight to the airport. Wilhelm wouldn’t even check out of the hotel first. He would do it once they were back in Germany and have their things shipped home. He was doing everything possible to keep Devin from finding out they were leaving. He wouldn’t even allow them to talk about it when they were outside the hotel room.
They arrived at the restaurant and Anna was immediately grabbed and hugged by Jenna. And then Aaron. And then Travis. And a whole host of other dancers whom she’d become friends with before Alex had died.
Anna saw something on Jenna’s finger. “You got married?” she asked incredulously.
Jenna smiled apologetically. “I wish you could have been there. But...you weren’t well. Dad said he tried to talk to you, but....” She shrugged. “We can watch the video.”
“When did it happen?”
She glanced back at Matt. “Nine months ago? September?” Matt nodded and grinned.
Anna hugged her friend. “I’m so happy for you, Jenna. I really am.”
They were seated at a large round table. Kurt sat on one side of her and Jenna the other. Jenna made a big deal about it being Anna’s birthday. Anna blushed and buried her face in Kurt’s shoulder.
“What’s going on with you and Kurt?” Jenna asked softly after the drinks had been delivered. She raised her eyebrow at Kurt’s arm draped across Anna’s shoulder.
Anna shrugged, then blushed. “We just...I don’t know. I saw him on Friday and...it just clicked.”
“Isn’t he still married?”
“No. His divorce was finalized several months ago.” She smiled. “He’s...different now. Settled. And he’s so attentive.”
Jenna giggled. “Yeah, that’s obvious. But if he hurts you....” She narrowed her eyes.
“He won't. If you spend time with him, you’ll see.”
Jenna leaned forward and studied him for a moment. “Well, he’s definitely not flirting like he used to.”
“I told you.”
Anna had a wonderful time with her friends. Aaron told her to hurry up and get back dancing so they could dance together.
It really felt like a celebration. Her first birthday celebration in many, many years. Since Jack started training her. She couldn’t imagine a more wonderful day.
Jenna took her phone number and promised to call in the next few days so they could catch up. Anna agreed, even though she knew that she would be gone. But she had to play along. No one could know they were leaving.
*****
After dinner was done, she was thoroughly embarrassed by the servers at the restaurant singing happy birthday to her. A little while later, she said goodbye to her friends and Wilhelm, Kurt and Anna got into the limo to head to the airport.
Anna leaned against Kurt and watched the lights of the city fly past the windows. Wilhelm seemed tense.
“What is wrong, Vati?” Kurt asked.
“Just...concerned. Devin’s contacts are wide and varied. He knows everything that goes on in the city. I will be much more at ease once we are in the air.”
It was late and Anna was drifting to sleep when she heard Wilhelm curse and Kurt sat up straight.
“What’s wrong?” Anna asked.
Wilhelm didn’t get agitated easily. She looked out the window and saw a black car parked by the Kunze family’s huge jet. Leaning against the back of the car with his arms crossed, was Devin.
“Wilhelm?” she asked with a shaky voice.
Wilhelm took a deep breath and set his jaw. “The jet is ready to go. We will board and fly away, just as we planned.”
The driver opened their door and Wilhelm got out first, followed by Kurt and Anna. Kurt held Anna’s hand tightly and kept her a good distance from Devin.
The tarmac was wet from the rain earlier in the evening. The orange overhead lights reflected on the dark, wet ground, giving the area a spooky look. Devin’s face was lit, though his beard cut strange lines across his face.
“What are you doing, Wilhelm?” Devin asked lightly. He hadn’t moved, though his dark eyes were very alert. He was dressed in black from head to toe, which made him look more sinister than usual.
“Going home. I believe I have a right to do that without asking your permission.” Wilhelm stood a few feet away from him, standing tall and confident. He exuded the power and authority of an Elder. He was a much larger man than Devin. Taller by several inches and broader by the same. The two of them facing off made her think of two opposing ancient gods.
“Of course. You are always welcome to leave my country. However, I do take issue with you taking my slave.”
“I have a right for her to visit me. She is as much mine as she is yours.”
“Ah, but you’re taking her without asking me. Or even checking out of your hotel. It makes me wonder what you are trying to do.” Devin turned and looked at Kurt and Anna. He arched his brow at their intertwined fingers. “Perhaps you have plans for her and your son?”
Wilhelm didn’t answer.
“I’m surprised you didn’t get her a big fancy ring like your brother did, Kurt. Don’t you have access to the same bank accounts?”
Kurt growled and stepped forward, but Wilhelm held up his hand. “They are in love, Devin. I see no problem in their dating.”
“Dating? Or engagement? You think to marry her off to your other son so he can protect her from me?” Devin smirked. “It won't work. Kurt isn’t her soulmate. He can’t protect her like Alex could.”
“Then why do you care if they marry?”
Devin’s
jaw clenched. “Because you’re taking my property,” he said after a pause.
“She is not property, Devin. She is a woman.”
“She’s a slave. My slave. I have a very particular purpose for her and I won’t let you take her from me.”
“Your purpose for her is barbaric and forbidden.”
“For you, maybe. I was made Chairman by the Elders of my country and the Immortals. I didn’t stage a coup.”
“Not blatantly.”
Devin laughed. “It’s not my fault that the Elders of this country are weak and willing to follow rather than lead. I just took advantage of the situation.”
“A situation of your own making.”
Devin shrugged. “Advantages must be seized or lost. I always choose to seize them.”
“Yes, we are quite aware of your propensity to seize opportunities.”
Devin sighed, as though weary of the conversation. “I won’t allow you to take Anna. It’s as simple as that.”
Wilhelm raised his eyebrows. “Well then, consider this. I am taking Anna. She is mine as well. You bribed her into leaving my home two years ago and kept her incoherent during that entire time. I am entitled to some time with her without you watching everything we do.”
Devin chuckled. “It is interesting watching you when you come out to visit. I particularly enjoyed watching your little threesome yesterday. Anna does seem to like her big cocks.”
Wilhelm frowned at Devin. “You stretch your hand beyond where it should be, Devin. What I do in the privacy of my hotel room is not for your entertainment.”
“Oh, but where Anna is concerned, everything is within my reach.”
Wilhelm turned and looked at Kurt. “Get Anna on the plane,” he said in a quiet voice. “We are leaving.”
Kurt nodded and led Anna towards the plane, with Wilhelm following behind. Anna watched Devin nervously, but was eager to escape and held Kurt’s hand tightly.
“Stop!” Devin commanded in a loud tone. The three of them froze mid-step. Something in his tone was positively terrifying and made Anna want to fall to her knees in fear.
