When I awoke the next morning I looked around and noticed that the bedroom was completely dark, realizing that it was still dark out. I then rolled over and looked at the clock on the small night stand to the right of me, the time was 3:15am. I then reached down and grabbed the blanket at the foot of the bed then pulled it up over the both of us and laid back down. Anna moaned out softly in her sleep when the bed moved as I adjusted the blanket so that it laid over us evenly. I gently draped my right arm over her and kissed her cheek, comforting her and letting her know that it was okay and that I was still there with her. She then curled into me and laid her head on my chest with her hand resting on my abdomen just below my ribs. I leaned up a little and kissed the top of her head then laid back down again and gently ran my fingers through her hair. Anna sighed contently under my touch then fell back asleep as I held her in my arms, slowly drifting off once again.
Anna groaned and gripped the covers and pulled them over her head when her alarm went off at 5:30 for her to get up and get a shower before school. A soft smile broke across my face because her reaction was just to cute, not to smile. Anna suddenly gripped my arm then pulled me back down beside her when I went to get out of the bed. “Where do you think you’re going?” She purred then rolled over on top of me, pinning me beneath her.
“We have to get up, baby.” My cheeks flushed when our eyes met. Anna whined, ‘but I don’t want to go to school today.’ I couldn’t help to laugh, but only just a little. Anna tilted her head curiously as she lay there on top of me, ‘what’s so funny?’ I leaned forward and pecked her lips softly, ‘you’re just so cute when you whine.’ Her cheeks blushed a fair shade of crimson and a gentle smile slowly took form on my face. She was so adorable even when she didn’t try to be. My hand found its way to her cheek, caressing it gently as I gazed deep into those beautiful honey brown eyes. We lay there silently, simply gazing at one another, savoring the moment that we now shared. I heaved a sigh then dropped my hand back down to my side and whispered, ‘I gotta go, baby’, with a trace of hesitation in my tone as the soft instrumental version of Lullaby by Hypnogaja slowly filled the room.
Anna’s eyes slowly filled with a soft, yet teary look when I spoke those words. I reached up and placed my hand against her cheek, ‘please don’t cry, Anna.’
“But I don’t want you to go.”
“I don’t want to either….but I have to, sweetie.”
“Can’t you just take the day off?” I closed my eyes and heaved a sigh. I didn’t want to go but I knew that the questions would immediately start rise the moment that I got back the next day if I didn’t show up, especially from that nosey little secretary. She always did seem to watch my every move like a hawk watching its prey before capturing it. Anna dropped her head to my chest then gripped the tank top that I was wearing, just below my breasts and whispered, ‘will I see you again?’
“Of course you will, Anna.” My heart grew weary when I felt her body begin to tremble. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her in a gentle embrace then nuzzled my face into her hair, trying to comfort her a little in some way without using words. After about five minutes or so I heard the soft tone of the song, Lullaby, slowly fill the room once again. I glanced over towards the door at the pile of the clothes I had been wearing the night before with a harsh glare. Anna sighed softly then gently pulled free from my arms and sat up on the side of the bed with her back to me.
“I’m so sorry, Anna.”
She shook her head and whispered, ‘it’s okay…’
“No it’s not okay….I can see that you’re upset.” I whispered then sat up in the bed, watching her silently just mere moments before that familiar ring tone echoed through out and reaching my ears. I threw the covers off of me and got up then stormed over to the pile of clothes, ‘Dammit, why are they ringing my phone back to back like this?!’
I reached down and grabbed my cell phone from the pocket of my jeans and stood back up again then answered the call. It took all that I had within me to keep from lashing out and cursing like a sailor when I heard the voice on the other end of the line. It was the annoying little secretary from work calling to check up on me apparently, ‘but why the Fuck was she calling me this early in the morning?’ I thought to myself while cursing under my breath. I heaved a sigh and put on a front, masking the aggravation in my voice, ‘can you cover for me because something has come up and I’m going to be running late today?’
I clenched my fist when she began to question me for a reason, ‘just tell Mr. Richardson that its a personal matter that can’t be set aside, alright?’ I then hung up the phone without giving her a chance to argue. I sat my phone down on the corner of the dresser and took a deep breath then released it slowly in attempt to calm myself down. The soft sound of Anna’s footsteps filled my ears and I felt the warmth of her arms being wrapped around my waist as she rested her head against my back. It was as if all the aggravation within me was slowly melting away under the warmth of her gentle embrace. I gently rested my right hand against her arm and closed my eyes, sighing contently. Anna lifted her head and pressed a gentle kiss in between my shoulder blades. The sensation of the kiss made my body shiver and I couldn’t resist leaning into her gentle touch.
Anna chuckled softly and pressed her warm, naked body into mine, slowly awakening the hunger that she had brought to life the night before. I whimpered and bit down on my lip trying to hide the flame that was quickly rekindling within me from the sensation of her gentle touch. I couldn’t hold back my hunger any longer. I moaned softly through my nose then released my lip, allowing the full extent of my hunger to be revealed. It wasn’t long before my moans started to form into the name of my beloved, ‘A-Anna…’ I suddenly felt myself being lead back towards the bed as Anna released her grip on my body then shoved me back onto the bed. I gasped in surprise, my cheeks displaying a bright shade of crimson. My eyes grew wide as my gaze was met with those oh, so beautiful and alluring honey brown eyes, gazing down at me.
I couldn’t even find the strength to resist, nor did I want to. The only thought present at that point in time was just being with her, nothing else seemed to exist other than what was happening at that very moment between the two of us. Our lips then met in a loving and sweet kiss. The kiss was so perfect and seemed fit the moment just right even if it held no trace of intimacy. My heart began to fluttered as if spreading its wings and soaring to the skies just before the kiss broke, ‘I-I’m sorry….’, Anna whispered softly.
“Will you be alright to get to school on your own?” I asked as she pulled away. She then gave me a slight nod and grabbed her robe from the chair and wrapped it around her. I heaved a sigh then sat up in the bed, ‘mind if I borrow your shower before I go?’ Anna shook her head, ‘I don’t mind.’
I slowly stood by the bed then walked over to the small pile by the door and gathered all of my clothes from the night before then silently left the room. I couldn’t help but feel as though that she was regretting something and it pained me to see her that way so I just decided to skip the shower. I stepped into the bathroom and quickly dressed myself then neatly draped the tank top over the side of the sink before departing the room. When I got down stairs I quickly slipped on my boots and pulled my hood over my head, sighing heavily as I reached for the door. I gave a quick glance towards the stairs as I opened the door then stepped out and silently shut the door behind me. Anna gathered together a clean set of under garments, socks, red and black plaid skirt, and a white polo t-shirt then headed across the hall to the bathroom just as I pulled out of the drive way.

Anna sighed softly when she saw the white tank top laying there on the side of the sink and laid her uniform on top of it then walked over and turned on the shower. After her shower she quickly got dressed and headed down stairs to grab a quick breakfast before heading off to school. She then heard the door bell ring just as she was finishing up the dishes from breakfast.
“Be right there.”, Anna called out as she finished drying off her hands with the towel then walked over to the entry way to answer the door. “Ready to go?” Jacqui said with a smile as she opened the door. Anna smiled back, ‘almost…I just have to slip on my shoes then I’ll be ready to go.’
“No worries. I am a little early, after all.” Jacqui said with a snicker. Anna couldn’t help but laugh a little at her friend’s response. It really did help to have a good friend around when you’re feeling a little down. “One sec.” Anna quickly slipped on her shoes then ran back upstairs and grabbed her keys, cell phone, and her back pack from her room then met Jacqui back at the door to lock up.
Jacqui laughed, ‘a bit off task this morning, Anna?’
“Yeah, I guess you could say that.” Anna couldn’t help snickering as she locked the door.
“So, what happened to you last night?” Anna’s cheeks flushed slightly at her friend’s curiosity as they walked down the drive way. “N-Nothing, I just decided to go home afterwards because I was tired after all that went on yesterday, why?” Jacqui smiled, ‘just a little curious is all…you know how I am, Anna.’ Anna laughed, ‘yes I do!’
They laughed and joked about the different and crazy things that they had done in their life as they walked to school together. When they got to school Anna quickly glanced around the parking lot, searching for the large black truck or the usual blood red Nissan parked in the far back of the teachers parking lot but found a mysterious looking silver Lamborghini instead.
“Are you okay?” Anna turned to see Jacqui looking right at her in concern, ‘yeah…I just thought that I saw something is all’, then smiled at her and walked into the building. She stopped just before the door to the office and looked over at her friend, ‘I have to take care of something before heading to class so I’ll see you a little later, ok Jacqui?’ The girl raised an eyebrow in curiosity as she studied Anna closely, ‘o-okay….I’ll see you after class.’ Anna gave her a quick nod and headed into the office then down the small hall leading to the assistant principal’s office.
She looked around to see if anyone was around then lowered her head and quietly opened the door and stepped inside. “Quite stealthy, little one.” Anna’s eyes widened as she heard the male aristocratic voice from behind her. She gasped when she turned to see the snowy white haired gentleman sitting there with his eyes closed in one of the chairs over by the wall. He was elegantly dressed in dark gray dress slacks, a deep blue dress shirt, a black tie and black Italian loafers. The man chuckled softly, ‘forgive me if my appearance startles you, little one.’ Anna lowered her gaze and shook her head, ‘n-no…its just I didn’t expect anyone else to be here.’ Anna covered her mouth as cheeks flushed softly in shock when their eyes finally met. His eyes white like diamonds and looked as if he were blind. He smiled softly at her, ‘I’m not blind, in fact I can see you quite well little one.’
She dropped her hand and whispered, ‘how did you..?’, her words quickly trailed off when his gaze left hers and locked on the door behind her. “It would seem that the one that we both seem to be waiting on has just arrived.” Anna quickly moved away from the door and into the corner of the room and stared at the floor nervously as the door slowly began to open. I heaved a sigh and stepped into the room with that nosey little secretary trailing not too far behind me, ‘Miss. Heart…there is..’ I quickly and stopped her before she could step into the room, ‘I know and thank you but right now I have something else to attend to so tell him that I’ll stop by later.’ she nodded then handed me the file and walked away.
“Still attracting unwanted attention, Bethany?”
“I guess you can say that, Khelec.” I heaved a sigh then closed the door and turned to face him. My eyes widened and a soft blush formed on my face when I saw Anna standing there in the corner of the room. Khelec silently studied us both as we stood there staring at one another, ‘maybe not all is unwanted attention.’, he said with a slight chuckle.
Anna’s cheeks flushed a bright crimson when Khelec’s words broke the silence. “I-I’m sorry….I’ll come back when you’re not so busy.” She then bowed her head and headed for the door. I lowered my gaze as my eyes filled with a look of sorrow because I longed for her to stay but I wouldn’t force her to if she didn’t want to. Khelec looked over at me and just shook his head and chuckled softly as Anna quickly and quietly departed the room, shutting the door behind her.
I walked over and sat down in the chair behind the desk, trying to mask my own feelings even though I knew that it was a useless attempt with Khelec around. “It would seem that our little Bethany has been struck but one of Cupid’s arrows.” My face suddenly grew hot as the blood rushed to my cheeks from hearing Khelec of all people say something like that. I heaved a sigh and sat back in my chair, ‘what makes you say that?’
He laughed at my response, ‘come now, Bethany, I’ve known you since the moment of your birth. I’ve come to read you quite well even without the use of that one particular ability of mine.’
I rolled my eyes at his response, ‘I don’t have time for your games, why have you come to see me, Khelec?’
“Your father.” I heaved a sigh, ‘what is Gideon up to now?’
“I don’t know, I’m just the messenger.” Khelec got up from his chair and walked towards the door then chuckled when I growled under my breath. “You know, that young girl..” I looked at him curiously as he stood there at the door with his back to me, ‘what about her?’
“Nothing, it’s none of my business.”
“You’re right Khelec, it’s not.” Khelec chuckled and opened the door then departed, vanishing from the doorway. I then looked towards the window to see him getting into the silver Lamborghini.
——————————————————————————————————————————————-
Anna was sitting in class day dreaming about the most amazing night that she had just had the night before when the secretary’s voice came over the intercom. The rest of the class froze in shock when they heard the secretary requesting Anna’s presence in the office. Anna was snapped out of her day dream by the sensation of Jacqui’s gentle hand gripping her shoulder. She looked up to see Sensei walking towards her, ‘you’re wanted in the office.’ She nodded then stood up and gathered her materials for the assignment from Sensei along with her things and left the class.
Anna couldn’t help wondering about the elegantly dressed gentleman from this morning as she quickly and quietly made her way up to the office. She was met by the secretary when she walked into the office, ‘Ah there you are, go on in Miss. Heart is expecting you.’ Anna nodded nervously and walked down the hall to the assistant principal’s then knocked softly before stepping inside even though the door was open. I turned and looked at her with a gentle but weak smile on my face, she smiled back at me then turned and shut the door.
I sat there silently in the chair, watching her as she turned around to face me, ‘are you okay?’ Anna nodded her head, “I’m sorry about earlier.”
“No, it’s okay. I wasn’t expecting to see him here is all.”
“I see, mind if I ask…?” She dropped her gaze back down to the floor, “who was he?” She glanced up at me and nodded slightly, “m-mhmm.”
A gentle smile slowly took form on my face. I was happy to know that she was curious about me. “He’s an old friend of the family and apparently he was here on behalf of my father.” Anna’s gaze suddenly met mine and flickered with a mix of curiosity and surprise. “Your father?!” She quickly dropped her gaze back down to the floor when I didn’t answer her right away, “I-I’m sorry, I….”
I could help it, I dropped my head and put my hand to my mouth and snickered. Her reaction was just too cute not to, “it’s okay Anna, you can ask me anything that you want to.” She lifted her head and looked at me, her face bloomed into an adorable blush as she watched me, wondering what was so amusing.
“I’m sorry Anna, you’re just too cute even when you don’t even realize it.” I said with a slight snicker then looked up and smiled. I cleared my throat, “anyway shall discuss why I asked you here?” Anna nodded nervously, her blush deepening to a fair shade of crimson as she walked over and sat in the chair across from me.
“I called you here to ask you if you would like to join me for a little road trip.” Anna sat there silently in her chair and gave me her undivided attention as I explained the details. I told her that she wouldn’t have to worry about anything and that I would cover all the expenses needed for the trip and that she would receive full credit for her absence at school. “I’m sorry for dropping this on you without any warning but I didn’t want to go alone.” I heaved a sigh, “I’ll give you until lunch time to think about and let me know what you’ve decided.
“Why did you choose to ask me?”
“Because you’re the only one that I can think of that I would be free to be myself around and not have to worry about trying to get something out of me for asking such a favor.” Anna smiled softly, “I see, well I’m free until early Tuesday morning since my mom said that she wouldn’t be home until sometime after midnight.” Anna snickered when I looked at her a little surprised when I told her that I would be alone for almost a week. “Today is only Wednesday and I don’t have any plans and I don’t think that I would want to spend all my free time under Jacqui even if she is my best friend.”
Anna snickered, “but I wouldn’t mind spending all that free time with you and possibly getting the chance to repeat last night.” My whole body suddenly grew hot and I shivered as I watched her tongue dart across her lips. “So what are you doing in the meantime?”, Anna asked with a mischievous smile on her face. My cheeks flared a bright shade of crimson and I bit down on the inside of my lip, biting back a pleading whimper as my loins began to ache for the touch that they received just the night before.
“Wh-What do you mean?” My voice had begun to tremble as I watched her get up from her chair and walk over towards me, her grin growing ever more mischievous by the minute. She sat down on the desk in front of me then leaned forward and whispered, “I mean, seeing you in this deep wine colored top with the low cut V-neck is really turning me on right now.” I couldn’t hold myself back any longer, I moaned as she slowly ran her fingers down over the bare flesh that shown through the open V of my top.
Anna grinned, “My, my…I want to hear that again.” My hands gripped the arms of my chair and I whimpered when I felt the warmth of her breath on my neck. I was writhing in agony because I was still a little worked up from this morning and it didn’t make it any easier on me when I saw her in my office this morning. Now I was being teased to hell and back and Anna was lapping it up. I clamped my thighs shut, trying to block out the aching need in my loins that was stronger and more fierce with every simple touch. “Wh-what if….someone hears us?” I whispered in a breathy voice that had grown husky with a lustful need.
Anna kissed my neck and purred, “should I stop?”
“I want to say no but….it would be the best choice for now, I’m sorry.” Anna smiled and pressed her index finger to my lips, “it’s okay Bethany, as long as..” My face burned with the envy of my blush, “as long as what?”, and I looked up at her curiously. “As long as you promise me that you’ll make up for it tonight.” Anna whispered with a slight tease to her tone. I hated having to tell her to stop but I knew that our time alone would be short lived while here at school. There was no telling when that nosey little secretary would come barging in on us.
She always did seem to love to pester me with questions about things to do with my secret life. It was only a matter of time when she came calling, seeking answers about who the dashing gentleman with the snowy white hair was this morning, waiting in my office. Our lips met in a fiery kiss that broke shortly after it began as Anna stood up and walked back over to the other side of the desk and sat down in her chair.
I couldn’t resist the urge to smile, my cheeks blooming into a soft blush as she smiled back at me. “So, about those plans?”, Anna asked with a slight tease to her tone then winked at me. “Well to be honest with you, I didn’t really have any plans for today until Khelec…” Anna’s cheeks flushed as a sudden curiosity sparkled in her eyes, “Khelec, the gentleman from earlier?”
I nodded in agreement, “until he showed up and told me that my father was summoning me after almost a year without a word.” Anna suddenly stood up and dropped her hands down to the desk and looks at me with a kiddish smile, “so, when do we leave?!” I smiled when I saw the spark of excitement in her eyes and I could tell that she was really looking forwards to the trip. “Well I was planning on leaving after lunch but if you want then we can grab lunch on the way out.” Anna grinned and almost jumped up onto the desk, “Okay, let’s go!”
We gathered our things and I left a note on my desk then gripped her wrist and laughed as we made our way out to the teacher’s parking lot. Anna blushed a fierce when she saw that I was driving the silver Lamborghini. “What’s the matter?”, I asked with a smile as I turned to face her after unlocking the doors. “I…I thought.”
“It’s ok Anna, I asked if I could borrow the Lamborghini long enough to get home and pack, don’t worry Khelec is waiting with the black truck that I was driving last night.”, I grinned. “Plus Khelec really likes my truck.”
“I see.”, Anna snickered. “Shall we?” I motioned with my head for her to get in. Anna nodded and smiled excitedly then walked around and got in on the passenger side as I sat in the driver seat. I quickly stole a kiss then started the car, both Anna and the car purred like a kitten. After buckling up I pulled out of the parking lot and headed home.
