Yet again she was slapped across the face, it was just as unexpected this time, though the Hound hadn't hit as hard as the Prince.<br/>"You need to learn the value of silence, toy." He leaned closer, putting the ring in her mouth, forcing her jaws appart, and started fastening the leather straps around her head.<br/>"I have learned to read between the lines, to understand what my Prince really is saying. I suggest you do too," he said in a low voice obviously meant just for Gina, but Pretty Boy could hear it too, that much was certain.<br/>"Had I moved from my spot I had joined you in our Mistress' bad graces, a place that holds no interest to me."<br/>He stepped back, the gag now in place.<br/>"Slapping my pet around, Hound?" the Prince asked with a dangerous tone in her voice, but Gina could see the approval in her eyes. The Hound had not angered her, not this time.<br/>"Just reinforcing her lesson, my Lady."
