The tone was enough to get his attention, but the pressure from his collar brought him up short. "Yes, Mistress," he said, quick and obedient. He should have answered to start, but his words just became lost to him when he was being petted. Out of sight, out of mind... something stupid like that. Feeling along the tenuous anger further, he added, "Thank you, Mistress."

He tilted his head toward Eli and continued, "Thank you, Sir." This was no good at all. He wasn't being a good sub for his Doms. He needed to fix that, needed to do his best to make sure they came out of this looking good.
