The Master Of Submission

Part 14

A bell rang as they passed down a hallway, forcing Jack to move closer to the Stallion as pets dashed from the rooms like they were on fire. Unlike the naked training pets he was subjected to, these pets were in full play gear. All of them varied in styles and colors. Even down to the animals they were. A man in black leather pants and a black sleeveless shirt slammed into Jack's shoulder. When the man turned to look at him, Jack swallowed. The man wore brown and black leather dog gear complete with a large bandana around his neck. He growled at him, making the hair on Jack's arms stand up. Jack had already gotten in trouble for fighting. He didn't want to get into it with this mutt too. The man jumped at him and Jack jumped back into the Stallion in surprise. 

The Stallion moved around him to stand between them. He stomped his boot and the metal horseshoe under his boot sent a sharp sound echoing off the walls. The dog tried to move around to get to Jack, but the stallion moved into his view. The dog eyed the Stallion for a long moment, before he was pulled away by another dog in full latex dalmatian gear. A group of dogs started to playfully shove him and he soon lost interest in Jack. The large crowd thinned out, leaving just a few stragglers in the hallway. Jack straightened up, muttering to the Stallion. "What is his problem"? The Stallion chuckled, turning to face him as he answered simply. "Nothings wrong with him. He wanted to play with you". Jack crossed his arms, giving the Stallion a sarcastic look. The Stallion raised his hooved hands, telling him honestly. "Believe me or not. I've been around the dogs around here long enough to know the difference".

Jack uncrossed his arms, continuing to follow the Stallion onward, while asking curiously. "You mean he wanted to..."? The Stallion snorted, starting to laugh as a young Stallion up ahead trotted their way. Jack side stepped to let him pass, watching the young Stallion raise a hooved hand to high five his escort's hoof. The young stallion kept walking away and Jack had to stop. His escort had stopped walking to watch the young male stallion walk away. Jack rolled his eyes, but found himself watching the young stallion leave too. The young Stallion was much smaller than his escort with a long flowing deep purple tail. His escort tilted his head, telling Jack playfully. "Most of these pets are single, you know. So, they are looking for a bit fun. Think of it like college".

Jack gestured to the young Stallion, playfully asking. "Won't your Master get mad that you are eyeing the pony boy, or do you know him"? The Stallion shoved him lightly, muttering out embarrassed. "I do not. When you choose your play gear, you'll find that some animals of your type will want to be your friend. Or they'll simply just acknowledge you as one of them. They don't have Masters yet. So, they are just having fun. Some become couples, but most are waiting to find their Master". They rounded a corner and Jack grinned. Mark was waiting outside a classroom door looking worried. Jack's heart leapt in his chest and he found himself running up to him. Mark barely had time to look up, before he slammed into him. Wrapping his arms around him tightly, Jack snuggled against his chest.

Jack didn't know why, but he just needed Mark to hug him. He needed to feel his warmth. Mark's arms wrapped around him, comforting him as he asked softly. "Jack? Is everything alright"? Jack heard the Stallion walk up to them, answering respectfully to Mark. "There was an incident in the bathroom, but the matter is being dealt with". Mark's arms tightened around Jack's shoulders, telling the Stallion whole-heartily. "Thank you, Donny". Jack saw Donny bow his head, before moving off down the hall. Mark lowered his head, asking in a deep serious whisper. "Did he hurt you"? Jack stayed snuggled against him, answering a bit muffled. "No. He just scared me a little". Mark's hand rubbed up his shoulder and stroked his neck around his collar. Jack took a deep breath, letting himself relax. Mark's touch felt good against his cold skin.

After a minute, Mark told him simply. "I guess, I should take you in. You haven't missed anything that I can't teach you later". Mark shot him a devilish smile that made Jack blush. Mark took his hand, leading him back into the classroom. The second they walked in, Jack wanted to leave. All eyes turned to them. Kate was sitting cross-legged on her desk and when she saw them she grinned brightly. She gestured to an open cushion before her desk, telling them happily. "You're just in time. Have a seat, Jack". Mark pulled Jack out ahead of him, giving him a quick pat on the ass to encourage him to go. A few pets snickered making Jack feel nervous. He didn't like doing this out in public. He preferred Mark's dungeon. There was less judgement there.

Kate waited for him to take his waiting position over the cushion, before telling everyone. "Once you have finished the basics. Then you will be able to pick the type of play gear you want. This comes in all forms of animals, but no matter what animal you choose to be... The rules are the same. The toys are the same. Only the manner of how you are played with changes. For this we have separate instructors that will show you personally. For now, we will focus on how you can ask things of your Master". Jack looked up at her. This is the part he was having trouble with. Kate climbed off her desk, pacing before them all as she continued on. "Let's say you are tired and want to turn in early. How would you tell your Master"?

No one raised their hand, Kate just pointed her crop at the nearest person, saying firmly. "You. Answer". The woman opened her mouth to say something, when the classroom door opened again. Standing in the door was the other Stallion and Trevor. Jack bit his lip, feeling Mark move closer to place a hand on his shoulder. Jack couldn't take his eyes off Trevor though. He didn't look like his usual self. The Stallion gestured for Kate to come out as he shoved Trevor inside. Kate groaned in irritation, turning to Mark as she snapped out. "Watch THEM"! Jack knew what she really meant though. To watch Trevor. She slipped from the room and Trevor stood still for a long moment. Jack thought it was weird that he wasn't looking at anyone. He looked tired. Then when he finally moved, Jack felt for him. Trevor was limping slightly as he made his way to the far back corner of the classroom. Jack even noticed the red lines across his back.

Trevor had been whipped. Jack recalled Trevor's screams when he had been beaten by Orson's belt. Then recalled Donny telling him about Trevor's bad luck with Masters. Mark's hand tightened on his shoulder. Did Mark see them too? Was it even alright? Kate said everything in this was consensual. However, Trevor sure didn't look like he had enjoyed himself. Trevor huddled himself in the back corner, wincing as he buried his head against his knees. Beside Jack, a man whispered to another. "Why do you think they keep a brute like him around here? If you ask me, He should be given the same treatment he dishes to everyone else"! The others around him nodded in silent agreement, before a woman answered just as softly. "I don't care what the Masters say. I'm not going to play nice around him! He wouldn't do the same for us"!

Jack looked passed them to Trevor. He looked alone. Without his scary attitude, Trevor didn't appear to be as strong as he let on. Kate moved back into the room, muttering sourly to herself as she told everyone. "Alright. I'm going to have to you pair up to practice this. So, pick your partner quickly". Jack didn't move. He just let everyone scramble around wildly as they tried to beat people to their favorites. There were just a few people left that were left undecided, when Jack stood up. Mark shot him a cautious glare. He knew him too well. Jack slowly made his way toward the back of the classroom and everyone fell silent as they watched him. They could call him crazy. Hell, he told himself he was being crazy. He just couldn't live with himself if he shunned him like the others.

Jack stopped in front of Trevor, before asking hesitantly. "Trevor"? Trevor lifted his head from his knees to glare at Jack, growling out. "Leave me alone". Jack didn't move, even though he wanted to. Trevor looked him over with a cold expression, growling out. "What is it with you? Leave"! Jack sighed, kneeling down in front of Trevor to be at his eye level, when he answered seriously. "I'm keeping my friends close and my enemies closer. Or are you afraid of me"? Trevor's eyes locked with his and Jack smirked in an almost challenging way. He didn't have to like, or even trust Trevor. He just wasn't going to let it be said that he didn't listen to him. Sometimes that was all someone needed. He just hoped that his gut was right about this. To Be Continued...
