"Already you disobey, dear Christine.  You know what that means?  No dessert for you.  Care to try for losing the rest?"  He gave her a savage kick to her side and kept kicking her as she crawled over to the side of the room. "Bad girl!  Naughty girl."  One blow left a dirty footprint below her ribs that became obvious as she joined the others.<br/><br/>He turned to the new girl, still rather annoyed at Christine's lack of compliance and kneeled in front of her, leaning into Annalisa, "See what happens to disobedient girls?  They get taken from the litter and tortured by the men of the house."  He turned and glanced at his mother.  "Well, I suppose even the obedient one's get there fair share of tortures."<br/><br/>He smiled and walked back to the table, "Of course, then you have Victoria who is her own special brand of torture."  He was tempted to flick food at her or something.  Some sort of protestation to hide what he<em>really</em>wanted to do with her.<br/><br/>He ignored the footmen.  They were, after all, below his notice, as they lacked two critical components:  Nobility or a Vagina.<br/><br/>He turned Flashman.  "Good evening Captain.  See any girls you like?"
