Manny didn’t think about what he had said because he was just teasing Michele by calling her a slave until her laughter died out.  Manny took his finger and lifted Michele’s chin and looked at eyes, “Oh love, I was just playing.  I was trying to be funny.”  Manny said with a sigh and pulled her into his arms, “I was thinking being a sex slave would be rather fun.  Nothing mean and painful my love.”<br/><br/>Manny felt really bad now that Michele thought he meant something mean and cruel because she did not understand what he was saying.  He could never hurt Michele on purpose because she had already been hurt enough by the man before, the man who would never hurt another woman again and he would go to the ends of the earth to protect her secret.  Manny just held her in his arms running a soothing hand down her back.  “I would never do anything to hurt you.  I just want to love you forever.”<br/><br/>Manny picked up the wash cloth and handed it Michele and gave her a reassuring smile, “Please my queen, I am sure you will do an excellent job.  You are perfect with everything that you touch.”  Manny was really trying to reassure Michele that she was perfect and that he was sorry he just shook her faith in herself, something he had not meant to do.
