While this was happening, Pyx had her eyes closed, preparing herself for more pain."It's off Pyx," I said.Pyx looked down. "Really?"Oh, Master! Thank ...you. You are so wonderful! I am in your debt forever!"She got on her knees and kissed my face all over.I didn't have the heart to tell her that all I did was go on the website of the company that sells the stuff and looked at the help page."What do you want me to do?

I'll do what you've been begging your boy friend to do for weeks." How do you know that?" She glared at me, her cheeks reddening. "You've been spying, you shit!" No, I wasn't.
