On duty with his Unit he’s in control and pushing himself to be his best but after hours with his man, all it takes is a single word and his eyes glaze and his mind and body are reminded he’s Owned as it obeys without it’s commands without thought.
Being his best for the Sgt won’t happen overnight. It takes pratice, getting it wrong, and trying agian. But for the Sgt and the others of his Unit he won’t give up or stop. He’ll work hard to become the best Marine he can and make them proud.
He hadn’t expected a letter from his Owner back home while he was in training but knowing his man cared enough to make sure he still had his orders and was reminded he was Owned and loved made him smile. And offer the Sgt anything he wanted in exchange for the use of a phone for five minutes to send a report back to his Owner.
