“Anna, are you all right?” Alex asked, sounding anxious.
“Y-yes Alex. I’m fine. Are you?”
“Ja, Schatzi.”
There was a pause and Anna winced at his use of the pet name. Why did he call her that? He hated her.
“I saw you. Last night. You came to me.”
“I did?”
“Ja, Schatzi. I always see you.”
“You do?” Anna stared at the ground. Her dreams were...real? “Did you...see me that night...when I was sixteen?”
“Ja, Anna. And other times as well.”
Anna’s head whirred. All those times she’d seen him, he’d seen her too? Why hadn’t he told her? “Oh.”
“What’s wrong?”
“N-nothing. Is there something I can do for you, Alex?”
“Anna, I know you. I know your voice and your facial expressions. Something’s wrong. What happened?”
Anna fidgeted for a moment, but she knew she had to tell him. “My rings,” she said softly. “They’re...gone.”
Alex exclaimed loudly in German and Anna pulled the phone away from her ear slightly. “Did that bastard take them out?”
“Not on purpose...,” she said in a shaky voice.
Alex was quiet for a moment. She heard a low voice in the background. Wilhelm?
Alex sighed. “I’m sorry I shouted, Anna,” he said in a softer voice. “Please tell me what happened,” he urged gently.
It wasn’t a command. She began telling him about the punishment that Devin had dealt out on Sunday night.
*****
Alex listened in horror to Anna’s sweet voice explaining what had happened on Sunday evening. His stomach churned. Picturing poor sweet Anna being beaten so hard brought tears to his eyes. He looked up at his father with horror in his eyes. Vati’s eyes grew concerned as Alex’s facial expressions changed.
When Anna finished speaking, Alex was silent. Devin’s cruelty never ceased to amaze him. It was so far outside of anything Alex could even imagine. Beating such a sweet girl so badly for her behavior on Friday...he shuddered. He had been there. He had seen her. She was excited and then heartbroken and had acted accordingly. It wasn’t intentional disobedience. She was just a normal girl. But that’s not what Devin wanted from her.
He was now more determined than ever to find a way to defeat him. He felt he was making good progress, but not quickly enough for Anna’s sake.
“Anna, are you okay?” he asked, fearing Devin had permanently hurt her.
“I’m fine. Devin said something about Immortals healing me. I passed out.”
“The Immortals healed you?” Alex asked, surprised. He glanced at his father who frowned. It wasn’t unheard of for Immortals to heal. Sebastian had healed Anna when Alex had...he didn’t want to think about that night.
“Is that a bad thing?” Anna asked softly.
“No, Schatzi. I’m glad you’re okay.”
“I don’t think I would have been able to travel if they hadn’t.”
“Did you see them?”
“Who?”
“The Immortals.”
“No. I didn’t wake up until Monday morning. I don’t know when Devin...finished with me. There aren’t windows in the dungeon.”
Alex sighed. “I’m so sorry he did that to you, Anna. I...I wish I could have stopped him.”
Anna was quiet for a minute.
“Anna, are you still there?”
“Yes.” She paused. “Are you angry with me?”
“Why would I be angry with you?”
“Because of the...rings. Because they’re gone.”
“No, Anna, It’s not your fault.” He spoke in the gentlest voice he could. “There’s nothing to be angry about.” At least not at you.
He heard Anna say something away from the phone. “I...I have to go. Devin is calling me.”
“Anna, I’m going to give you a command to protect you, all right? I don’t want you to get in trouble for talking to me.”
“Why would I—”
“Anna, you are not to tell Devin about your dream last night or speaking with me today,” he commanded. “You are to tell him that you had a pleasant conversation with Kurt and he told you that he would be out to see you opening night of the Nutcracker.” He paused. “Do you understand?”
“Yes, Alex.”
He couldn’t read her tone, but hoped she wasn’t hurt.
“Are you coming to Nutcracker?”
“I don’t know yet,” he answered truthfully. Being near her and not being able to be with her was torture. Not to mention seeing her with his brother. He didn’t know if he could do it.
“Okay,” she said without emotion. “I must go to Devin.”
“All right, Schatzi,” he said in a pained voice. “Call me if you need anything.”
“Yes, Alex.”
“I’ll talk to you later, Schatzi.”
“Good bye.” She ended the call.
Alex handed the phone back to his brother and collapsed in the easy chair nearby.
“Is she all right?” Kurt asked in German. “Did that bastard hurt her?”
“Yes. She was disobedient.” Alex snarled the last word. “So he punished her. Brutally. So badly she passed out. Twice.” He told Kurt and his father what Devin had done. “Can’t you do something, Vati?”
Wilhelm shook his head sadly. “No, Alex. I have no authority to do anything. She’s his slave.”
“She’s mine too!” Alex exclaimed, running his hands through his hair. He stared out the window of his father’s study. “I can’t stand the thought of her being with him, Vati. It drives me crazy.”
“I know, Alex. And that’s why you’re here. To learn what you can do.”
Alex stood suddenly and walked towards the door.
“Where are you going?” Kurt asked.
“To study.” Alex stalked out of the room and towards the library. He was determined to find out what he needed to find out as quickly as possible.
*****
Anna put the phone back into her purse and walked to the restaurant door where Devin waited. She was thankful for Alex’s command. She didn’t want to tell Devin that Kurt had only called so Alex could check on her.
“Everything all right?” Devin asked, moving aside so that she could enter.
Anna smiled. “Kurt is going to come to opening night of Nutcracker.”
Devin smiled “Good. I know he enjoyed seeing you last week.”
Anna nodded. “I enjoyed seeing him too.”
Devin put his hand on her back and led her to a large table at the side of the room where they were sitting. She sat next to Devin and Tyler.
“Everything all right, dear?” Kelsey asked, smiling at Anna warmly.
Anna nodded. “Just a...friend calling to say hi.”
CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN
After lunch, Devin and Anna went to the Capitol; they had passes to sit in on a Senate session. They sat in the front row of a balcony on the side of the room and when they entered, more than a few Senators looked up at them. Some looked startled. Others looked pleased. Several made eye contact with Anna and smiled.
“Devin...?” Anna said, looking around, a bit frightened.
“They know us, Baby,” Devin whispered in her ear. “We’re the ones who put them here.”
“Oh,” she said, biting her lip.
A balding, gray-haired man with glasses sitting behind a big desk at the front of the room looked up at them and politely nodded. He made eye contact with Anna and smiled, then turned his attention back to the proceedings of the Senate.
“Do you know who that is, Anna?” Devin asked quietly.
Anna shook her head.
“That’s the Vice President of the United States.”
They stayed in the room for about a half hour, then left and went to the House of Representatives. This room was much larger with many more people down below. Again they were noticed when they sat down with much the same reaction, t
hough the woman sitting behind the big desk at the front of the room looked startled when she saw Devin.
After another half hour, they left the chambers and headed to another building down the street a bit. The hallways were crowded and loud. Anna clung to Devin’s hand as they went to the third floor and Devin opened the door.
A young man sat behind a large wooden desk looked up with a haughty expression. “Can I help you?”
“We’re here to see the Senator,” Devin said in a cold tone.
“Do you have an appointment?” the young man asked in the same manner, bordering on rudeness.
Devin frowned and looked down at him with narrowed eyes. “I am Devin Andersen. I don’t need an appointment.”
The young man’s eyes widened. “I...I apologize, sir,” he stammered. “The Senator is not back yet.”
Devin growled. “Then call him and let him know I’m here.” He turned on his heel and went to sit down in a leather chair against the wall. Devin looked at Anna and spoke softly. “Go find the bathroom and take your panties off.”
Anna bit her lip and turned back to the man at the desk to ask where the bathrooms were. After being given instructions, Anna left the office, returning a few minutes later with her panties in her purse. She wore a khaki skirt and the cool air flitting up her skirt was somewhat arousing.
When she walked into the office, Devin was not in the room. “Where’s...?”
The young man behind the desk pointed to the door next to him. “They’re in there. You can go in.”
Anna glanced at the door, then walked over and opened it, revealing a large, sunlit office with a huge desk covered in papers.
“Ah, Anna,” Devin said from the other side of the room.
She turned to see Devin and a tall, thin man with dark skin and hair sitting in a comfortable looking seating area. Anna quickly walked over to Devin.
“Anna, this is Senator Weir,” Devin introduced. “Jerry, this is Anna.”
“Hello, Anna,” the Senator said with a smile that made Anna uncomfortable.
“Hello, Senator,” Anna said quietly.
Anna shifted from one foot to the other as the Senator studied her. He looked at her as if he were appraising her.
“Can I touch?” he asked Devin with a grin.
“A sample? Of course.”
The Senator grabbed her hand roughly and pulled her to him. He pushed her legs apart and slid his hand up her inner thigh to her pussy where he unceremoniously thrust his fingers inside her.
“Oh!” she cried at the unexpected intrusion. He was rough and it made her eyes water. She bit her lip to keep from crying out again as he thrust his fingers in and out of her.
“Wet and tight. Nice.” The senator commented. He removed his fingers and pulled her down to her knees. “Suck my cock,” he said in a harsh voice.
Anna moved in front of him and shakily undid his pants and took his cock into her mouth. He groaned and leaned back with his hand on her head, pushing his cock down her throat repeatedly.
She heard the men talking, but couldn’t hear what they were saying; the senator’s hands were over her ears. She did decipher the words President and election. A few minutes later the senator’s thighs tightened and he groaned as he came in her mouth.
“Will she work?” Devin asked as the senator pulled her hair to remove her head from his lap.
The senator studied her face. “Yes, I believe she will.”
“Good,” Devin stood. “I’ll drop her off at eight. Come Anna.”
Anna stood and followed Devin out of the office and out into the hallway.
“I’m going to see him tonight?” she asked nervously.
“Yes. He’s going to be the next president. I want to establish authority over him before the weekend.”
“Establish authority?”
“Yes. You do as he asks tonight and in the future he will do anything to be with you again.” Devin stopped in front of another office. “We have several stops to make this afternoon.”
Alarmed, Anna looked at him, but didn’t speak.
Devin faced her and put his hands on her shoulders. “Anna, I need their support. You will help me get that support. Do your best and I will be happy. They will all be at the Gathering this weekend. You will be the most popular girl there.” Devin kissed her forehead. “Make me proud, Baby.”
Anna and Devin visited various senators the rest of the afternoon. They had dinner and then returned to the hotel to let Anna rest before she had to see the future president.
*****
When it was time to leave to see the senator, Devin called for a car and they drove to a nearby apartment building. Devin told the driver to wait, and then led Anna inside to an apartment on the fourth floor. The door opened after he knocked and the senator answered with a big, almost nasty, smile on his face.
“I’ll pick her up in the morning,” Devin said, pushing Anna inside. She looked nervously back at him, but he gave her a stern look and turned and walked away.
“Come on in, sweetheart.”
Anna walked into the apartment. It had a large living area, pleasantly furnished. The senator led her through a doorway and told her to take off her clothes. After she complied, he came up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. “Devin said you have a high pain tolerance.”
CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
Anna’s eyes widened, but she didn’t say anything. Why would Devin tell him something like that? She closed her eyes, wishing she could run away. This would be a long and painful night.
He pushed her towards the bed and told her to lie down. He removed cuffs from a dresser drawer and cuffed her hands above her head. Then he turned back to the dresser and pulled more items out of the drawer.
“I don’t restrain the legs because I like to see you thrashing about on the bed. You move, you’re likely to hurt yourself, which I like.”
He turned back to Anna, holding a black plastic box, about six inches long with a u-shaped indention in the top.
Stun gun! Oh please no!
He smiled. “This has been modified so I can control the voltage.” He looked down at her pussy. “Have you ever been fucked with one of these?”
Anna couldn’t control her terror and started shaking. “No, sir,” she said, voice trembling.
He smiled. “You’re in for a treat, then.”
He sat next to her and started trailing the plastic down her neck. She pulled away in fear and he smiled. “Are you afraid?”
“Yes, Senator,” she whispered.
“Good. You should be.”
Her eyes widened and she struggled to get enough breath in her lungs for the terror of what the night would bring.
He reached the base of her neck and she felt a million needles shoot into her neck. She screamed in pain and her body convulsed.
“Did that hurt, sweetie?”
She panted for breath and tears filled her eyes. “Yes,” she whispered.
He smiled. He trailed the gun down to her breasts, running it around her breasts and up across her nipples. She trembled with terror. He leaned forward and sucked on her nipple, running the gun around the other breast. It pressed into either side of the peak and the pain of a million needles shot into her breast. Her back arched and she screamed.
He chuckled and leaned over to the hurting nub, taking it into his mouth. He bit and she screamed out again and thrashed her legs.
“Please, sir. Please don’t use that on me. It hurts so badly!” she begged.
But he just chuckled and continued to suck.
*****
Anna hurt everywhere. She had passed out at some point and had embraced the painless blackness. But the blackness had given her up and she had returned to the land of the living. She tried to move her arms, but she couldn’t. They were tied together above her head. She opened her eyes slightly to a dimly lit room.
Her breasts felt like they were on fire as did her pussy. But her nipples felt heavy and numb. She felt pi
nching at her pussy. She moved her feet, finding them unrestrained.
“You’re back. Good.”
A deep voice came from her side and her eyes snapped open.
It was the senator. He grinned with malevolence and reached to her belly and pulled at something. Chains. They were attached to her nipples and further below. He jerked the chain and she whimpered as it pinched her clit.
“I put these on you after you passed out. Several hours ago.”
She looked up at him, tears in her eyes. Oh! It would be unbelievably painful when he pulled them off.
“Your clit has been lacking blood for several hours.” He slid his fingers down and into her pussy, flicking the clamp at the same time.
She squealed at the pain
He flipped her over to her stomach, pushing her nipples into the mattress. He pressed down on her ass, mashing the clamp into her clit. She whimpered as he thrust his fingers in and out of her pussy while pressing her into the mattress.
He removed his fingers and Anna sighed in relief, hoping against hope that maybe he was done with her. But the mattress moved again and the senator lay down on top of her and pushed his cock inside her. He grunted as he fucked her with his heavy body pressing her into the bed where the clamps rubbed against the sheets. His breathing grew shallow and he reached down under her hips and yanked the clit clamp off.
She screamed in agony, body writhing beneath him. He yanked again and the nipple clamps tore off, ripping another scream from her throat. He fucked her hard as she sobbed in pain. He shouted out as he came and then rolled off her.
A moment later, she heard a familiar crackling sound. Stun gun. She whimpered.
He chuckled and spread her ass cheeks apart. “This should help you sleep.”
She felt the plastic on her asshole, points digging into the sides. Nothing happened for a moment, and then...
It felt like he punched his fist directly into her ass without lube and straight up into her stomach. She arched herself off the bed and screamed as her body convulsed. He held it there for an eternity until the blackness consumed her once more.
*****
Anna awoke to the sound of men’s voices. She was lying on her stomach and her body still hurt.
