There it was only inches in front of me. I kissedher with every bit as much passion as I had so recently kissed my wife.Of course I sprang to attenti...n instantly. Clare could hardly fail tonotice it.Perhaps it was the wine. I was sure of it. At a time like this mostmen's resolve would have dissolved. Too many problems. Too much guilt. But instead he was like some sort of Satyr. Nothing was going to stophim tonight.I wanted to stop. Long enough to do the small talk. But what was. "I wanted to watch him die slow... I wanted him to suffer for what he does." Anna's voice shook when she spoke, but only from anger. She seemed somehow immune to pain, and the ugly welt on her neck against her larynx did not impede her speech in the way it should have. "I could have just snapped his neck..." And we'd be dead," said the princess in a sharper tone. Her voice rasped properly, in agreement with the bruises on her neck and her jaw. She winced with the effort.Anna remained. At night, she usually bedded down inside the same sleeping bag with her twin brother. For some reason, it felt safer and they certainly stayed a lot warmer that way together. She was getting a little concerned because Sebastian was at that age when boys have a lot of spunk inside them wanting to come out.The last couple of nights, his thing had pressed hard on her skin and spurted copious streams of sticky fluid on her tummy and her legs. At first it was kind of funny, but now she was worried. She wasnot to make any noise. She was not to make him come.She was to service him with her mouth as he sat at thedesk.This was to be one of the best business meetings heever had.-*-She heard the secretary announce that his 10:00 meetingwas here, and heard him request them sent in. She was alittle cramped under the desk, but otherwisecomfortable. The vibrators were beginning to do theirjob and she wished that she could reach down and helpthem. She couldn’t. Her wrists were secured to.
