"Yes," Paul said as he looked at her.  "What is going on with you?  I am not unaware that you are just not reacting to me the way you used to.  Cindy I love you.  I just want you to be happy.  Am I being too strict with you?"<br/><br/>As he waited for her answer, he thought about Tanya.  He was pretty sure that she didn't know that he had been thinking a lot about Tanya lately.  He felt so badly for her with the way Austin treated her.  He was worried that she would be seriously hurt and he didn't want that.  It started when he found his brother's girl crying because she felt so abused and he wanted to comfort her.  Both girls were luscious and beautiful and sexy as hell but even if they were slaves, that didn't mean they had to be totally abused.<br/><br/>Then he tore his mind away from Tanya and focused on his beloved Cindy as he waited for her to tell him what was going on.  He was confident that he could do something if she would just tell him what was wrong.  At least if there was something wrong.  He wasn't totally sure.  Perhaps he was just being too hard on her, insisting that she follow slave protocols and spanking her for every mistake.
