The Proud Marine

The Marine bit his lip as he took a bathroom selfie at the military base he was currently stationed at and living at. The text message is from the marine’s friend. Well, that is what he has to call him he is the marine’s fucking nightmare. It started back when the marine was in the last few weeks of high school. He had already enlisted and he was enjoying life. When during prom he was cornered in the bathroom by the class nerd.

The marine never was an ass hole and had been nice to the nerd or his more current name His “Friend”. The Friend helps up with a strange-looking medal he said was in his family for years. The marine looked at it and the way it reflects the light had a strange effect on him. He was going to ask what was happening but found he could not as he stared at it. The Friend then told him to hand him his phone. The marine did without thinking and the friend put in his number. He then told him to enjoy his last night of freedom.

  With that, the Marine came too when the door to the bathroom opened up, and in came some new people. What the hell happened he thought to himself, must have been a bad dream. So he went back to the dance.

The next day he saw a text message from that friend of his. He looked at it and all it had was an address and for him to arrive there. He felt a sudden urge to obey and soon he was driving there. When he arrived at the address it was a house and he knocked on the door with a confused look on his face. The guy from yesterday his new Friend was there and he looked so happy.

He quickly ushered the marine in and shut the door. The marine future Friend which even then the marine did not know why that was the only name he could think of for this man. He did know his real name but he could not say it or think it. The friend leads the marine to his bedroom and shut the door. He then starred at the marine. He said how he could not wait for this to happen and he wished he could have used it before the marine had enlisted. But he figures he has a few weeks to enjoy this.

  With that, he told the marine not to move or make a sound. He also told him to enjoy this and with that, the man started to molest the marine. He felt up his hard muscle body. He felt his chest and his arms. He seemed to really like rubbing and feeling the marines legs and his backside and especially his ass. He then told the marine to start to flex his body. With the muscles flexed the friend was over the moon with excitement. He then sat down on the bed and told the marine to lose the shirt but put on a nice posing show.

  The Marine without a second to think took his shirt off and began to pose like he has seen so many bodybuilders and guys at the gym doing. The Friend was loving it given his tenting shorts. He then told the marine to remove his pants and to flex still. The marine dropped his pants and was standing there in his underwear flexing like an idiot.

  Back to the present with the marine taking his selfie he remembered how his friend that first day verbally degrade himself while he was flexing and ended up making him suck him off and the marine remembers when his friend started to open up his hole. The friend told him that he would take his ass before he would ship out in 2 weeks. The marine thinking back to that day used to be so embarrassed by it but in hid sight it was nothing compared to what His friend has made him do since then.

  A few more weeks later the Marine was leaving the base to enjoy what most would say is freedom. For him, it is now permanent slavery at the hands of his friend. As he got into his car to drive off to his friend’s place where he would be probably spending the rest of his life being used as the man’s sex slave and toy. The marine sent a text message to his friend with him smiling. His friend told him when he ordered the marine to not re-enlist to be happy about it. Even if he was not. That was the power he had over the marine.

After that, it was a short drive to his friend’s house. Once there the marine with his single bag walked up to the door and knocked on it. He was wondering what would His friend do first to him. The last time he was on leave the friend had the marine walk around the house naked. Well, he did have his underwear on but not in the normal way. The Friend told him to wear it over his head. With the flyover his face so if the marine had to give a blow job he could. But over then that he was blind with his boxers covering his head.

  It was so embarrassing not only was he naked and having to wait on his friend like a butler all day but it was hard to see since the fabric made it difficult to see.

  More recently on his last time on leave, his friend had him wear a pair of bright pink panties, a garter belt, and a bra under his normal clothes while he was out visiting some old friends. The marine was so humiliated he wanted to cry but if he did what would it do. Expose him to everyone.

One other time the Friend had the marine give himself wedgies. It was odd but at the same point, it was an impressive way to show the marine just how much control the Friend had over him. The control to have the stud pull his underwear so far up his ass and hurt himself.

  The worst was one time the friend had him get a tattoo. It was under any other situations been ok. The tattoo was nothing special but the point was to have the marine branded by his friend. Just a small little symbol on his right lower ass cheek. The marine told any other marine that it was a drunk dare. But to the marine the symbolics of it was clear. He was owned and now branded like some bull by a ranch.

  But whatever is going to happen will happen. The Marine parked his car and got out and using his spare key opened the door and stripped down the moment he walked into the house. That was one of the many rules that will now run his life. He stripped down and walked into the living room and took up his friend’s favorite pose in just his boxers. With one deep breath, he was getting ready for the rest of his life like this.

“[Keanu] Reeves said a recent conversation about “The Matrix” with a 15-year-old put things into a terrifying perspective. The actor explained to the teenager that his character, Neo, is fighting for what’s real. The teenager scoffed and said, “Who cares if it’s real?” “People are growing up with these tools: We’re listening to music already that’s made by AI in the style of Nirvana, there’s NFT digital art,” Reeves said. “It’s cool, like, Look what the cute machines can make! But there’s a corporatocracy behind it that’s looking to control those things. Culturally, socially, we’re gonna be confronted by the value of real, or the non-value. And then what’s going to be pushed on us? What’s going to be presented to us?” “It’s this sensorium. It’s spectacle. And it’s a system of control and manipulation,” Reeves continued. “We’re on our knees looking at cave walls and seeing the projections, and we’re not having the chance to look behind us.””
