Devin’s...punishments hurt for a lot longer
now.”
    Tommy stroked her cheek. “I wish....” He
shook his head and sighed. “I’m sorry, Anna,” he said and kissed
her. His hand slid around the back of her head and she turned her
body to his.
    She ran her hands across his shoulders and
down his arms. He had matured in the last few years. He was now a
grown man. His shoulders were broader; his arms were bigger. He
played football and basketball at Harvard. He had turned into a
kind, courteous, thoughtful man. He was going into his senior year
of college and would graduate in May.
    His kiss was gentle and full of affection.
His lips caressed hers and then moved down to her neck and
collarbone. She pulled at the tie of her robe.
    “Anna, you’re hurt,” he said in a husky
voice.
    “Please, Tommy,” she implored softly. “Make
love to me. It’ll be the last gentle touch I have for a while.”
    Tommy’s blue eyes searched hers and then he
bent down to kiss her again. “I never want to hurt you, Anna,” he
murmured against her lips.
    “I know,” she smiled and wrapped her arms
around his neck.

    Later, when they were laying together,
immersed in post-coital bliss, the door opened and Tyler walked
in.
    Tommy sat up and covered Anna to her neck
with the sheet. “You could’ve knocked, dude.”
    Tyler raised his eyebrows at Tommy. “You
gonna tell Kim about your mistress?”
    Tommy went pale and Anna’s heart pounded. Who
was Kim?
    “Not cool, Tyler,” Tommy growled.
    “Oh, c’mon, Tommy. Anna would have to be an
idiot to not know you’ve got a girlfriend by now.” Tyler turned his
smirk on Anna. “Or did you think because he defended you, he still
wanted to be with you?”
    A shame-filled chill ran through Anna’s body.
Of course Tommy would have a girlfriend. He had to get married once
he finished college. This Kim was a lucky girl.
    “Get the fuck out of here, Tyler,” Tommy
snarled.
    “My dad wants his slave back now. That’s what
I came to tell you.”
    Anna shakily crawled out of the bed. This was
the end of the good part of the weekend. She walked out of the
bedroom towards Tyler’s room where her clothes were.
    “Anna...wait,” Tommy said, following her.
“I’m sorry, Anna. I never meant to hurt you.”
    Anna smiled as best she could and turned to
Tommy. “It’s okay, Tommy. There’s nothing to be sorry for.
I...should have realized you would be in a relationship by now.
I’ve kinda been out of it for a while.” She turned and went to pick
up her clothes and started dressing.
    Tommy sat on the bed. “Anna, you were the
first girl I fell in love with. God, if things were different....”
He ran his hands through his scraggly hair.
    She gave him a weak smile. “If things were
different...a lot of things would be different.” Her heart ached
for Alex so suddenly she gasped and pressed her hand to her
chest.
    “You still miss him?” he asked quietly.
    Anna closed her eyes. “Yes,” she whispered.
“So much I can hardly stand it sometimes.”
    Tommy stood and hugged Anna, holding her for
a long time.
    “Your girlfriend’s a lucky girl, Tommy,” she
said, pulling away. “You’re a good guy.”
    He looked down at her. “Maybe. Although
she’ll never have all of my heart.” Tommy brushed Anna’s cheek with
the back of his fingers, then leaned down to kiss her again.
    Anna reluctantly pulled away from him. “I
have to go. Devin will be angry.”
    Tommy let her go. “Find me if you have any
free time.”
    Anna nodded and followed Tyler to the hotel
suite she would share with Devin tonight.
*****
    The Gathering was much like the others she
remembered, though Devin no longer pretended to be nice to her. He
treated her as a slave and passed her around to the cruelest of the
men. The only nice thing he did was send her home with Ian on
Sunday night rather than taking her to drop off Tommy and Tyler in
Massachusetts. She was sad to say goodbye to Tommy without any more
time
