The Master Of Submission

Part 18

Jack continued to eat little squares of pizza off Mark's fork. In between his bite, Mark would eat and chat with Walden. Jack tried not to listen in, but was too curious. Walden folded up the empty wrapper to the granola bar, telling Mark with a smile. "Your pup going to compete in the park this year"? Mark shrugged, stabbing another piece of pizza for Jack as he replied. "That's up to him". Walden started rubbing Donny's back, saying casually. "He should. I've got Donny in to compete with these new horses. It's good for them". Mark shrugged, when a voice butted in dryly. "Good to know that security will be slacking off during the pet show". Walden turned to face Declan, snapping out. "Don't count on it". Declan turned his eyes down on Mark's back, stating coolly. "I hope you're enjoying yourself while it lasts, Mark". 

Mark turned about to say something, when Declan leaned in close to his face, sternly adding in an undertone. "You have to earn everything in life. This life is no exception. You didn't earn your title. Which makes you no more a Master than Trevor is mine". Walden moved closer to Mark's defense, snapping out. "A lot of Masters don't believe what you or Orson did was right"! Declan straightened back up to his full height, answering swiftly. "I won't deny that Orson was no Master. However, if you want to compare your training to mine... Let's start with the large difference between training a horse and a dog. Don't bitch to me, when you aren't even on my level of training style. My style of training is rough. Can't handle it? Don't watch. Easy as that".

Declan turned his eyes back down on Mark, telling him one last time. "This academy is my birthright and you had no right to give it to Kate. The Masters may have agreed with you then, but I'm very good at changing peoples minds". Without another word, Declan snapped his fingers and walked away with Trevor following behind him. Walden waited until he was out of earshot before saying coldly. "He's going to be a big problem. I heard he has been meeting with Masters since he got here. Your little stunt last year has really gotten under his skin". Mark turned back around to unscrew a bottle of water for Jack, mumbling out. "Ya...Its not like it's my fault though. Everyone remembers how his family used to run the academy. They don't want those methods to come back". Walden nodded, but said softly. "True, but as Orson's only dog that turned into a Master... It was your final decision to give the academy to Kate".

Mark sighed, climbing to feet and telling Jack softly. "We should start heading back". Jack followed Mark back to the classroom in silence. Jack could tell that Mark was fighting some emotion internally by the look on his face. He looked so torn up. He wanted Mark to talk to him, but now wasn't the time. They entered the classroom just as everyone was starting to file back in. Kate was the last one to enter with three Masters. Kate stood before the class, stating aloud. "Now then, before I send the next group off to get their gear. I want to say this first. While we are still on the issue of confidence in oneself. The next thing you should know is how confident you are with your limitations. Choosing your gear comes with a small knowledge of how that animal is trained. S&M is a complicated subject. So, I have decided to break it down in three parts". 

Kate moved to the first Master that was simply wearing jeans with a leather vest and holding a long leather leash. Kate gestured to him saying. "This is what I call the first level. It's simply casual play between a Master and a Subs relationship. No pain is involved and trust forms quickly between a Master and his pet". Jack smirked, he liked that one already. Kate moved to the woman in the middle, stating out. "This what I call an intermediate level. Same things are the same as level one, but this is where you learn how to mix pleasure with pain. This is where whips, nipple clamps, hand cuffs, and being tied down comes into play. I call this level Bondage". Jack shot a glance at Mark, who blushed and looked back to Kate. Jack shook his head a little. Mark clearly liked the bondage stage, since he was almost always cuffed to a bed. 

The female Master swung her nine tails whip, making the leather straps tap her leather pants erotically. Kate moved to the last Master. He was very large and had the scariest look of the bunch. His outfit was made of thicker leather and he had spikes on his gloves. He held a curled up black rope in one hand and a long red leather bull whip in the other. Kate gestured to him saying seriously. "This is the most extreme of the levels I made. At this level, the Sub solely wants to be dominated and subjected to find pleasure through intense pain. It is at this level that you'll find sexual gratification through things like ropes, whips, and a fair share amount of bruises and injuries. While a safe word is recommended at all levels. This is the level where a safe word is VERY important, as well as having full trust in your Master. I can't stress this part enough. This level is what I refer to as BDSM. It is both of the other levels combined, but much more intense".

Kate moved back to the center of the room, staring them all down as she told them just as seriously. "You do not go up levels, unless you and your Master desire to. These are not competitive levels to brag or rank up like some game. These are levels simply to see what you can handle as a person. Don't do anything you are not comfortable with. Be straightforward and honest with your Master on everything. Make sure you tell him what you are not comfortable with before engaging in any play. If you don't like how that Master plays with you, than you can leave them to find another Master who you feel more at ease with. The only thing binding you to your Master is YOU. You may kneel before them, but you are not beneath them! A Master is there to take away your stresses and make you feel good. Pushing you only as far as you want to go. Which brings us to the most important part of this lifestyle. Trust".

Kate moved away to sit on her desk, telling the class. "Fortunately, we have a couple here for this example". Kate picked up her crop, pointing it at Mark as she grinned, asking sweetly. "Wanna show what trust looks like between Sub and Master, Master Mark"? Jack's heart slammed against his chest trying to break free. How was Mark going to demonstrate that with him? Mark walked up to his side, brushing his knuckles along Jack's bare shoulder, answering happily. "Certainly". Mark's fingers lightly tapped his shoulder, before he moved to the front of the room. Jack let out a short silent sigh, then got up to follow. At the front of the room, Jack stood up straight looking only at Mark. Mark stepped back a little to stand behind him, rubbing Jack's arm from shoulder to wrist. After a moment, Mark raised Jack's arm out, sliding his hand slowly back under Jack's arm toward his armpit.

Jack bit his lip behind his mask, forcing himself to stand still. Mark had a bad habit of tickling him. He wasn't sure he really trusted him enough not to do it this time. Mark's hand stayed flat against his skin, turning to slide down his armpit and down his exposed ribcage. Jack felt a lot more relaxed knowing that Mark wasn't using light touches to touch him in these areas. Mark's hand left Jack's hip and he heard a soft 'click' behind him. Mark moved up closer to his back, telling him in a deep serious voice. "Don't move". Jack kept his eyes straight ahead, feeling Mark's hand hold his wrist out. After which a warmth started to warm his bare arm. Sneaking a glance, he realized what Mark was doing. He was holding a lit lighter under his raised arm. The flame was close, but not nearly close enough to burn him.

Mark didn't do it for very long. Just long enough to get the point across, then snapped the lighter shut and handed it back to one of the Masters close by. Mark lowered Jack's arm, rubbing Jack's arm between his warm hands. Leaning over his shoulder, Mark whisper into his ear. "Good job, Jack". Jack shifted to press his shoulder against Mark's warm chest. He liked how Mark was caressing his arm to make up for the weird sensation. While Kate told the classroom sweetly. "See that? Jack trusted his Master to care about his safety. They have reached a point in their relationship were Master Mark has earned Jack's trust. Always make your Master EARN your trust. Don't just trust them to put your safety before theirs. Take your time and let your Master prove that he deserves it first". Mark's fingers curled around Jack's and Jack smiled. He was still learning this all himself, but he knew he could always trust Mark. To Be Continued...
