Spike sighs.  "Eventually I'll learn what to say or not around you. I wasn't hinting, just your remark brought up pleasant memories.  Anyway, it's not much fun being whipped when you can't fight back."  He caresses her cheek.  "I'm all about love and pleasure, pet.  I take pleasure in many things, but there's nothing I can't live without.  We'll talk, we'll play, we'll learn about each other."
