The Life of Anna, Part 2: Entwined

by Marissa Honeycutt

  Ian moved aside and let Maggie brush Anna’s hair and refresh her perfume. Maggie gave her a fresh, unwrinkled dress, and then Ian took her outside through an opening in the back of the pavilion.

  “Ouch!” Anna exclaimed, stepping on something sharp.

  Ian scooped her up into his arms. “Sorry. The areas outside the Pavilions aren’t meant to be walked with bare feet.”

  He walked along the back of the row of pavilions and around to the side away from the lake. Anna caught sight of firelight and a huge crowd of people in front of the giant eagle.

  “There’s so many people!” Anna exclaimed in a whisper. The women were kneeling around the edge of the open-air field while in the middle hundreds of men sat on the grass wearing robes or tunics and pants like those worn at informal Friday nights.

  Tom spoke from the dais in front of the eagle. The silver edging of his robe glittered in the light from the fire contained in two long curved box-like-things that bracketed the dais. The shadows the fire cast on the giant eagle made it look alive. Anna shivered.

  The other Elders, including Devin, also wore white robes edged with glinting silver and were seated on thrones at the back center of the dais. A large, empty throne sat in the back center of an additional raised section of the dais. Along the sides of the dais the Elder-Sons sat on small thrones in white robes without the silver edging. Tommy and Tyler sat with them, making Anna suppose that they had already received their piercings.

  Anna stood with Ian at the edge of the field in the dark, still unable to grasp what Tom was saying. His words were met with head nods and approving sounds from the men in the grass. Something about making the country great and powerful. And about honored guests.

  Suddenly there was a round of gasps and shouts. Anna looked to the dais and saw the Immortals, Kaveh and Val, standing in the center. Two other Immortal-looking men stood with them. Tom gave them a small bow and went to sit next to Devin.

  Kaveh moved to the front to address the crowd. He spoke loudly and with a deep voice. Anna couldn’t make out all the words, but heard more than when Tom was speaking.

  “Mortals,” he began. “The Elders have made the decision to put aside the foolishness of the rest of the world and embrace the old ways. This country has never had the privilege of embracing....”

  “Anna,” Ian whispered. “Did Devin tell you about the hunt?”

  Anna shook her head. “A hunt?” She couldn’t imagine Devin going hunting. It just didn’t seem his style. “What does he hunt for?”

  “...Chairman who will provide ultimate guidance for the Elders and the other leaders of the country...,” Kaveh’s voice drifted in their direction.

  Ian’s brow furrowed as he knelt down next to her. “Anna, it’s...for you girls,” he said in a soft voice. Anna frowned, not understanding. “The Elders and Deacons send the girls out that way,” he pointed in the direction opposite Devin’s pavilion, “and the men ‘hunt’ for you and do whatever they want. You’re naked and barefooted. Devin’s changing the rules this year: There are no restrictions on what they can do to you because there’s no one there to watch.”

  Anna’s eyes widened and her heart pounded in her chest. “He’s sending me out with the other girls?”

  Ian nodded.

  Anna looked at the dais.

  “...is well equipped to bring the country back to its former glory...,” Kaveh was saying.

  “Why are you telling me this?” Anna asked.

  “Because I wanted to warn you.... I don’t want you to get hurt any more than you...have to be. Stay away from the politicians as best you can. Especially Wier. He’s brought some toys with him and they don’t look nice.”

  Anna nodded. “How long does it last?”

  “Until the sun comes up. There are always...girls that don’t make it through the night.” Ian glanced at the dais. “The best thing you can do is find a hiding space and stay there until the sun comes up. It will start after all this is over.” He motioned towards the dais. “It’s time for you to go. Just...be aware and start thinking about a way to protect yourself.” Ian took her hand and led her to the back of the crowd. There was a long pathway left in the middle of the sitting men. “Walk up slowly. When you get to the front, do as you usually do. You’ll be given instructions when you get up there.”

  “Thank you, Ian,” she whispered and gave him a small smile.

  He nodded and gave her a little push.

  Anna glanced ahead of her to the dais. Devin was naked and kneeling in front of Kaveh, who was also on his knees and had his arm across Devin’s chest. Devin’s face was pink and he looked as if he was trying to mask some sort of discomfort. As Anna got closer it looked like Devin was being made Chairman the same way other men were brought into the Brotherhood by showing submission. But something about it was different. Devin’s face didn’t look submissive, and he appeared to have a tiny glow, almost like the Immortals had.

  As Anna got closer to the dais, she bowed her head and saw the men look up at her as she passed. The men closer to the front were wearing tunics and pants. The men further away were wearing robes. She wondered who the men in tunics were until she spotted a few of the men she had met at the Capitol. Out of the corner of her eye, she could have sworn she saw the President and Vice President sitting in the front row.

  She arrived at the dais, knelt and bowed with her head to the warm grass. She could feel the heat from the fires on both sides of her.

  She felt a presence above her a moment later. “Stand, Daughter.” It was Kaveh.

  Anna stood quickly and Kaveh took her hand to lead her onto the dais. He stopped in the middle of the platform and turned her around to face the men on the grass with his arm across her shoulders. Devin still knelt where he had been, head bowed and still. The only movement was the slight expansion of his ribs as he breathed.

  “Behold, Mortals. A daughter of an Immortal. Claimed at birth by your Chairman and raised to become his Mistress.” Kaveh reached down to the hem of Anna’s dress, lifted it above her head and tossed it to the side. His hands strayed down to her breasts and squeezed. “Beautiful, isn’t she?”

  There were appreciative chuckles from the seated men. Kaveh kissed her neck and his hand strayed between her legs. Anna gasped as his long fingers parted her flesh and entered her. Incredible sensations filled her body as he moved his fingers inside her. She grasped the arm across her shoulders as her knees shook. She felt like she was going to....

  She screamed as she climaxed suddenly. She became dizzy with pleasure as Kaveh’s fingers moved expertly on her wet flesh. She rocketed into the stars and spun around in the air in weightless ecstasy.

  As her body relaxed she felt herself lifted up by several hands and placed on a flat hard surface. She tried to open her eyes, but couldn’t for some reason. She was dizzy from her orgasm and felt like she could come again with minimal stimulation. Her whole body felt like it was floating. Her knees were spread apart and fingers spread her pussy lips apart.

  “Perfection, is it not?”

  Suddenly an enormous cock was thrust inside her and she cried out in surprise and pleasure and pain. It felt bigger than Alex. Anna managed to open her eyes. The head of the eagle was high above her head. She looked down and saw Kaveh holding her thighs and fucking her. He grinned when she looked at him and gave a particularly strong thrust which sent Anna over the edge of pleasure again.

  Her back arched and she cried out as the waves of pleasure came hard and fast. Over and over again Kaveh pushed his enormous cock inside her, which just pushed her higher and higher into pleasure. She felt her mind and body overwhelmed with it and she let herself ride wave after wave.

  CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR

  Devin knelt, naked and unmoving on the dais. He felt lightheaded and invincible. Allowing Kaveh into his body gave him the most incredible feeling he’d had in a long time. He felt the power transfer between himself and the Immortal.

  He had not submitted himself to the I
mmortals authority, like many might have assumed. That wasn’t the purpose of the ritual. It was to grant Devin Immortal powers; more than what was given when he became an Elder. The infusion would be solidified in the spring with the proper sacrifice, but in the meantime he would be satisfied with even more powers of persuasion, charisma and understanding of human nature than he already had.

  His cock throbbed at the sounds of Anna’s orgasms. Kaveh had a huge cock and it had felt amazing. Devin could imagine how Anna must be feeling. Kaveh put Alex to shame. Devin smirked. Anna might come to crave the Immortal’s cock more than her other Master’s.

  As Devin looked down at his pierced cock, he could have sworn that it looked bigger. Perhaps mind power wasn’t the only thing given to the Chairman. He smiled to himself. He’d never had a problem with his size before. But bigger was always better.

  Anna would be fucked by each of the Immortals, then they would present her to Devin. The connection between he and she would be intensified and he would be able to channel her powers even if she wasn’t around. But she would be more persuasive as well. Together they would be able to do amazing things.

  God, his cock throbbed. He wanted Anna’s pussy so badly he could taste it. And what a sweet taste it was.

  She was going hoarse from the screams of pleasure and cries of ecstasy. The grunts and moans from the Immortals only served to whet his appetite more. He wanted to reach out and caress his cock, but he was to remain still, as if in a trance.

  At last, Kaveh turned to Devin and touched his shoulder. Devin looked up and stood before the tall Immortal.

  “Our Daughter is ripe for your cock, Chairman. Take her and make her your own.”

  Devin grinned up at Kaveh and turned to Anna. She was naked and writhing on the stone table. Her legs were splayed open, displaying a very wet swollen pussy to the men seated on the grass. Devin could see several of the men closest to the platform stroking themselves.

  Devin knelt at the end of the table and drew his tongue across the sensitive flesh. Anna moaned and jumped. Val and another Immortal, Sohrab, stood at her side, holding her on the table. Devin licked her again, then thrust his tongue into her open slit, tasting the Immortal’s seed on his tongue. He eagerly lapped at the fluid, knowing it would help the powers solidify in his body. Besides, she didn’t need it. At least not right now.

  When Devin had licked and sucked all he could from her body, he stood and pressed his cock against her opening. Her eyes opened and he smiled at her. As he pressed himself into her body, her eyes widened and her mouth opened in surprise. He must be bigger. Why else would she be surprised like that? He hooked her ankles on his shoulders and grasped her thighs, then began moving himself in and out of her.

  As his thrusts increased she began to moan. “Come for me, Baby,” he said softly.

  She moaned again, then her body stiffened and she thrashed her head back and forth as she climaxed, clenching her muscles around him and bringing on his own release. His head leaned back and he held onto her thighs to keep from falling. He became dizzy as the bond between them fortified.

  Anna cried out in pain as her soul merged with his. It wouldn’t normally be painful for her, but the part of her that was bonded with Alex rebelled against Devin’s intrusion. There was a chance he would regain full control over her, but it was very small. She screamed again and pulled against the Immortals hold.

  Her back arched off the table and her face contorted with pain. Fucking Alex! Devin would have to make sure to tell Alex how much his interference had hurt Anna again. Of course, there was a high likelihood that Alex had not even considered the possibility that Devin would perform this particular ritual.

  He’d wanted Anna to be part of the hunt, but he doubted she would be in any shape for that after this. He would have to content himself with letting her take part in the meetings tomorrow and perhaps the orgy tomorrow night.

  Devin cried out as another wave of pleasure erupted in his body and Anna screamed again. He was still trying to merge fully with her, but was coming to the realization it wasn’t going to work. Fuck! Devin pulled out of her and leaned his hands against the table on either side of her hips, panting. Devin was exhausted. Maybe he would just take Anna back to his pavilion and go to sleep. The other Elders could deal with the hunt.

  “Have you taken possession of our Daughter, Chairman?” Kaveh asked loudly.

  “I have,” Devin declared. “I have claimed her as my own. She is a part of me as I am a part of her.”

  Kaveh reached for Anna and helped her to sit up, then kneel at Devin’s feet. “Behold your Master, Daughter.”

  Anna looked up at Devin with exhausted eyes, then bowed with her head on the ground.

  Val and the other two Immortals, Sohrab and Cyrus, brought forth a new robe for Devin. It was white, as the other robes were, but was edged with gold and green with seed diamonds stitched in alongside the sacred pattern. They helped him don it and tied a golden sash around his waist.

  “Behold your Chairman,” Kaveh said loudly.

  Devin stood with his chin held high and watched as the Elders bowed to him and then the rest of the men followed suit. All in the park bowed to him. He had done it! He had achieved his desired place. Two and a half decades of planning and working had paid off. Even the President and Vice President bowed to him. Devin grinned.

  “My Brothers,” Devin said loudly. “Let us celebrate this joyous occasion with a hunt.” Devin grinned as he saw the girls remove their dresses and move quickly into the forest. “There are hundreds of girls to be had in the woods beyond. No one will be watching, enjoy yourself as you please. It begins now and ends at dawn.”

  The men cheered and began dispersing.

  Devin looked down at Anna’s naked form, bowing at his feet. He retrieved her dress, then returned to her. “Anna.”

  She looked up at him with glazed eyes. “Yes, Master?”

  He handed her the dress. “Get dressed. We will go back to the Pavilion and sleep.”

  She nodded and stood, donning her dress quickly.

  Devin looked out at the grassy field as she dressed. Some of the men remained in the field and stood chatting with one another. He took Anna’s hand and stepped down to speak to the President.

  “Mitch, let me introduce you to Anna,” he said to the smiling man. “Anna, meet the President.”

  Anna curtsied. “Good evening, my lord,” she said in a soft voice.

  “Hello, sweetheart,” the president said with his southern drawl. He reached out to stroke her cheek. “So pretty.”

  Devin hadn’t agreed with his election, but had little say in things back then. Not so anymore. Eight years had brought about many changes. Devin’s choice, Wier, would be the next president.

  “Are you going on the hunt?” Devin asked. Some of the men chose not to go. They had chosen companions earlier and would take them back to their rooms or pavilions.

  Mitch shook his head. “I’ve never really enjoyed that aspect of the weekend. I prefer them coming to me, rather than me chasing after them. I’m too old to chase.”

  Both men laughed. Devin saw how Mitch watched Anna carefully. Anna stood silently and stared at the ground.

  “I can understand that. I had planned on going, but this evening has tired me more than I expected.” He looked at the president. “I would offer Anna to you, but I’m afraid she wouldn’t be very good company tonight. She’s exhausted as well. Perhaps tomorrow?”

  The other man nodded. “I would like that.” He smiled at her. “I’d like that a lot.”

  “Good,” Devin said with a nod. “If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to put Anna to bed.”

  “Of course. I’ll see you tomorrow, Devin.”

  Devin put his arm around Anna’s shoulders and led her to their pavilion near the lake.

  Ian was coming out of the living area when they arrived. He looked surprised to see Anna. “I thought you were sending her out,” he said with a frown.

  “Hopi
ng to get a piece of her?” Devin laughed. “I wore her out and she wouldn’t be much fun tonight. Grab her tomorrow.”

  Ian grinned. “Any chance I get.”

  Devin chuckled as his friend walked away. He knew Ian cared about Anna, but as long as it didn’t interfere with his duties, Devin didn’t care.

  He led Anna to the bed and laid her down, covering her with the blankets. It was quiet. After such a long day, Devin appreciated the absence of distraction.

  He removed his new robe and hung it on a nearby hook, then crawled into bed with Anna. She had been good this afternoon and evening. He was pleased. He gathered her into his arms and fell asleep almost instantly.

  CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE

  Saturday morning was spent mostly in meetings. Anna stayed by Devin’s side and pleased the men when he told her to. It seemed easier to obey him now, for some reason, and she wondered if last night had something to do with it.

  At lunchtime, Devin said she could have some time to herself. She took some food and sat down at a table under a tree by herself. The men around were Brothers, instead of politicians, and they left her alone. She was glad to have some quiet.

  She was lost in thought when someone sat down across from her. She looked up to see Tommy smiling hesitantly at her. He wore a white tunic like the Elders.

  “Good afternoon, my lord,” she said with a shaking voice, and looked down at her plate. She trembled and wondered what he wanted.

  “Anna...,” he said, reaching across for her hand. He shook his head. “Anna, I’m so sorry for what I did...to you.”

  “You needn’t apologize, my lord,” Anna said. “I am only a slave.”

  “I don’t see you that way.”

  “Then you don’t see the truth.” Anna clapped her hand over her mouth and looked up at him in fear. “I’m sorry, my lord!”

  Tommy chuckled and squeezed her hand. “Don't apologize, Anna. And you don’t have to call me ‘my lord.’ I like it when you say my name.”
