“The baby could have been black or white for all I know, I was a camp follower for a while,” Penelope admitted.“You? A prostitute? Why? Your fam...ly is wealthy? Was it for the Union or the Confederates?” Abigail asked excitedly.“Does it matter whose camp I followed? My father considered me a disgrace and for a time I found it entertaining to work in a camp. You are old enough to try it – you may not be so rigid if you did,” Penelope suggested.“You never did such a vulgar act! You are just trying. But it's too late."I turned to Pyx. "Though it wasn't your idea, you were about to succumb to Vonda's seduction, weren't you?"Pyx too, started weeping. "Yes, Master." But I understand. Vonda is very willful, and hard to say no to, especially when it comes to sex. I forgive you."Pyx didn't know what to say to that. After some mouth-flapping, she finally whispered, "Thank you, Master." And as a result, I'll take off your chastity belt first."Pyx made a little squeak."But before I do that, you. .? You thought you were dreaming? Do you think you're dreaming now?" Her booming, yet strangely womanly voice shook the pale man's entire body as he slowly stopped resisting, "Y-yeah...! Would I really... attack her if it wasn't.....?" Tears flowed from his eyes as the burn of his straining muscles became more intense, using every bit of his strength just to help relief the weight of his own body off of his neck. "...I guess if you thought it was just a dream... I mean you can do anything in. "Well?"She was in full Countess-mode now, expecting deference from this pleb.The pleb wasn't impressed."We've heard that Probate has gone through and the will was much asthe poxy old Earl's letter said," Beckett said.The threat of violence seemed to have receded, for now. It lookedlike he was going to talk rather than punch."That bastard treated my sister very badly," he continued. "She putup with him and his moods for fifteen years..." Give or take the times she left him and you had to put.
