Danny was excited as he ran to get dressed. For once, he had woken up early. In his excitement, he didn't realize he had gotten ready in less than five minutes. Looking in the mirror, he put a nano chip on the collar, which made it invisible. It was bittersweet though. Even though he couldn't see it, he still felt it wrapped around his neck, reminding him that Vlad still owned him. Dismissing the thought, he was just about to switch to his ghost form and jet out when his arm was suddenly yanked. Immediately after, he was forced to turn around. Vlad stood there, staring down sternly at Danny, making the teen gulp nervously.

"Remember pet, you are to be home not a second later than 11:30." He brushed his lips on Danny's. The young halfa blushed when he realized he was trying to press in for more contact, but Vlad pulled away with an arrogant smirk.

Danny rolled his eyes, embarrassed that he had actually wanted Vlad to kiss him. "I know, I know, can I go now?" he asked eagerly, trying to convince himself he just wanted to be away from the man and just see his friends. The latter part was true; however, the first was a different story…

"And you are not to give your friends any hint of your situation."

"Yeah, yeah." Switching his legs to his spectral tail, he floated a little higher so he would be at eye level with the older hybrid. His chin was placed between Vlad's fingers and he suddenly felt lips pressed against his. It surprised Danny to feel a sense of longing and warmth coming from Vlad as the man kissed him chastely. Danny felt himself melt before he abruptly pulled away. With one final, confused glance at the billionaire, Danny turned and made himself intangible as he flew towards the lab and used to the portal to get to Amity Park.

He tried not to think of the older man as he made it out of the ghost portal from the Fenton's work. Phasing through the lab, he didn't bother looking for his parents. They were out on some ghost convention for the weekend. Hopefully he could get a chance to spend time with them soon. He would just have to find a way to convince Vlad. When he told his friends he was seeing them this Saturday, Danny had grinned from their enthusiasm. It reminded him how much he missed them, and how time seemed so short.

Flying over the city, he inhaled the familiar smells of Amity Park. Smiling and relishing in it, he took a little longer than necessary to get to Sam's home. Once he spotted it though, he quickly phased himself in, where Sam and Tucker were making breakfast together in the kitchen. Grinning like a loon, he switched to his human self, capturing the attention of his two best friends as he opened his arms and greeted,

"Hey guys! I'm back!"

"Danny!" Tucker and Sam exclaimed, running to the teen and jumping into his arms for a hug.

When they pulled away, Tucker asked, "Dude! What took you so long? It's been so long since we've seen you."

Danny offered an apologetic smile as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I know. I'm sorry guys. I've just been busy. But hey, I'm here now." He sniffed the air. "And whatever you're making smells good."

Tucker grinned proudly. "Egg omelet for me!"

Sam added, "Tofu for me. Tuck made you an omelet with bacon." She glared accusingly at the dark skinned teen. Tucker grinned without guilt and shrugged.

Laughing, Danny responded happily, "That sounds great."

It was as if he never got kidnapped and forced to be with Vlad for over a week. They joked around and talked like they normally did. For a moment, Danny could forget about being enslaved. After they finished breakfast, they hit the arcades. They spent hours there. Before they knew it, it was already time for lunch. Deciding to go to the mall, they grabbed lunch there and walked around the stores. For once, Danny didn't complain about spending too much time in an electronic store. He didn't mind it before, but when Tucker got a little excessive then he would start suggesting to leave. This time, he didn't. When would be the next time Vlad would be in a generous mood? He had no freedom until that damn collar was off.

His friends asked him about the research. Danny would give them vague answers to satisfy them just enough to drop the topic. It wasn't fun lying to them, but it had to be done. It wasn't like they could really help anyway, not without letting Vlad know. The last thing he needed was to go through another punishment or worse; what if he harms them? His punishments weren't…so bad. They usually entailed him being naked and spanked. Surprisingly, those sessions left him hard. Depending on Vlad's mood, he'd usually let the teen cum at the end of the session, unless he did something really bad.

Danny hadn't realized he had been blushing at the thought of the man until Sam nudged him. Startled, he looked at her questioning gaze. They were walking out of the mall and heading towards the movie theater. Embarrassed, he shrugged and tried to play it off that it was the heat. It didn't seem like she believed him, but she didn't press, thankfully. An action-drama movie was playing, so they decided to see that. Sam bought them popcorn and snacks and they made their way in. Grabbing some empty seats in the back, Danny sat in between his friends, the large popcorn on his lap for them to share.

"So Danny," Tucker started as he placed his nachos down so he could set his soda onto the holder. "How's living with the fruitloop?"

Feeling uncomfortable with the question, Danny tried not to show it as he answered, "Pretty lame. The guy's a nut." Well, the latter part was true. Living with Vlad actually wasn't too bad. It was quite relaxing sometimes.

Sam made a face. "That's a bummer. Hopefully you won't have to stay longer with him than necessary."

Danny faked a laugh at that. "Yeah, I really can't wait to finish so I can finally leave." Why didn't that seem so truthful? He wanted to leave Vlad, right? And hurt him for putting him through this…? Thankfully, the movie started. It successfully distracted the hybrid from thinking about it.

The movie ended up finishing later than expected. By the time the credits rolled, Danny noticed it was 11:05. Frowning, he realized he'd have to leave soon. He was a little too embarrassed to tell his friends he had a curfew. So when they suggested going next door to play pool, how could he say no? Besides, it was just a ten minute flight. He could make it on time and enjoy the remaining minutes he had with his friends.

After the fifth round of pool, Danny sat down on a bench and watched his friends finish the round off. Grinning, he laughed at Sam's comment of Tucker being terrible at the game, to which the teen retorted, "You wouldn't have a chance against me if we played pool online!" Rolling her eyes, Sam walked away from the table and sat next to Danny. Crossing her one leg over the other, she rested her head on the young halfa's shoulder.

"This was fun." She said with a smile.

Danny smiled back and responded, "Yeah it was."

"Think we can do it again soon?"

"Hopefully. I should probably go." Danny took out his phone and glanced at the time. He froze. No. No, no, no that couldn't be right. It couldn't be midnight. When had he lost track of time!? "I-I have to go." He said suddenly, abruptly pulling away from Sam. She protested from the movement.

"Danny what's wrong?" She asked worriedly, seeing how distressful and nervous he looked.

"Nothing, nothing, I just gotta go." He yanked her into a tight hug. "I'll call you tomorrow. Thanks for today." Turning to Tucker, they embraced briefly.

"Alright man, but call us." Tucker said with a small frown, sad that Danny had to go.

"I will!" Danny shouted over his shoulder as her ran out.

How could he not have realized he went over the time he had left? It didn't even seem like he spent ten minutes with them! Switching to his ghost form, he jetted to the Fenton Portal. Opening it, he flew with lightning speed towards Vlad's portal. Oh man. He was in so much trouble. This was worse than missing curfew with his parents. At least his parents couldn't take away his free will. Dread and anxiety pooled in his stomach, making him feel sick. Adrenaline pumped through his veins as he saw Vlad's portal come into view. Once he made it past the portal and into Vlad's lab, he stopped short when he saw the man he feared standing in front of him with his arms crossed and an angry expression on his face.

"Daniel." Vlad greeted coldly. "So nice of you to show up…and with…" he looked at his watch. "Ah, no time to spare, considering you wasted it all and had the audacity to give yourself 40 more minutes I did not grant." He glared angrily at the young halfa before him.

Swallowing nervously, Danny shakily landed onto his feet and switched back to his human half. Maybe Vlad wouldn't be so hard on him if he was so vulnerable? "I-I'm sorry Vlad, I—"

"Master." Vlad corrected with a hiss.

Danny gulped. If it would get him out of trouble… "M-Master… I uh, thought I gave myself plenty of time to come back but I didn't realize I stayed past 11:30, I swear." It seemed like a poor reason, but it was the truth. He could hear his own heart beating wildly. Could Vlad hear it as well?

"No excuses. I told you to be back here no later than 11:30. You realize I am disappointed in you?"

"Vla…Master, I'm sorry. Can't I … I don't know, make this up to you?" the young halfa asked with a cringe, seeing the anger in those cobalt blue eyes. Shivering at the intensity from them, he subconsciously took a step backwards. Wrong move.

"Get here right now, Daniel."

Obediently, Danny followed Vlad. They walked out of the lab. Each step the young hybrid took felt heavy. It was getting difficult to breathe since his lungs felt so tight due to the anxiousness gripping in his chest. He was a little confused when they walked into the bedroom but didn't question it. He would just have to endure whatever punishment given to him. After all, he should have known better. The thought made him want to scowl but it was true. Vlad owned him. As the man ripped the nano chip from his collar, revealing the tight metal around his neck, he knew he couldn't deny it.

"Strip." The older hybrid ordered coldly.

"Master…" Danny looked hesitant; however, when he saw Vlad reaching into his pocket, he sighed heavily and did what he was told. The shirt came off, followed by the sneakers and socks next. With a deep breath, he pulled down his pants and boxers, kicking them off when they were pooled around his ankles. He hated being naked in front of Vlad. He felt small, scrawny, and vulnerable. Even with the blue eyes greedily drinking in his sight, he didn't feel any confidence.

"Position yourself on the bed." Danny looked confused so Vlad clarified. "On all fours."

Swallowing dryly, Danny did as ordered. Crawling until he was at the center of the bed, he kept himself up using his hands and knees, despite their nervous shaking. His face was flushed with embarrassment. He never felt so exposed. It startled him when he felt hands cup his ass and squeeze. Biting his lower lip, he tried not to moan. One hand massaged a globe while the other snaked down to grip his slowly hardening cock. When he felt himself being gripped and stroked, he finally let loose the moan he tried suppressing. It was pointless to. Vlad's strokes were firm and sending delicious waves of pleasure through him. The other hand continued its caress and squeeze, only adding to the sensation.

"You were a naughty pet, little badger." Vlad said in a low, husky voice, causing the young halfa to shiver. "Do you know what you did wrong?"

The man expected him to think when he was giving him a delightful hand job? Pushing through his foggy, pleasured filled and hazed mind, Danny thought of a reply. "I-I came…back … late?"

"What time were you supposed to be home?"

This wasn't his home, but he wasn't going to argue with his sensitive organ being gripped. "11:30."

"And what time did you arrive?"

"Uhh…Midnight? Ow!" A loud smack echoed in the room from the slap Vlad gave to his thigh.

"Try again." The billionaire hissed angrily.

Danny mewled softly and tried to remember what time he came home. Okay so Vlad said he gave himself forty minutes extra time. He was supposed to be home by 11:30 therefore…it was so hard to think while Vlad was touching him and soothing the stinging pain on his thigh. "U-Uh…12: … 10?"

"Correct."

Suddenly, Vlad pulled away. Danny wasn't sure if he was should feel relieved or whine. He wanted the man's hand back on him, damn it. He was hard; so achingly hard. The slap should have hurt and it did, but with the stinging pain had pleasure mixed in. It didn't help that Danny loved it when Vlad spoke in a low, seductive tone. The older hybrid clearly did it on purpose. The feel of something wrapping around the base of his cock broke him out of his musings. Surprised, he looked down to see Vlad's hand moving away from the cock ring he just placed.

"You are not allowed to cum." Vlad explained as he went back to touching the ass before him.

Before Danny could question was Vlad was going to do to him, he felt a cold, lubed finger circle his entrance. He froze. "Vlad…No, wait, please. Not that." He'd never done anything like this before. He's masturbated of course, what hormonal teenager hasn't? But he never put anything in him.

"You shouldn't have disobeyed me then. Now relax, or this will hurt." He slowly pushed his finger into the tense body, making Danny flinch in pain.

"Ow, stop, Vlad! That hurts! Please."

"Relax."

"I can't!"

"Yes, you can." Vlad encouraged while pushing the digit further in.

With an annoyed huff, Danny forced himself to relax. It was a struggle, but he finally managed at the finger sliding in and out of his entrance didn't hurt so much anymore. Actually, it was kind of … pleasant. A low moan escaped his lips as he got used to the sensation. Vlad took that as a sign to slip in a second digit, making the young halfa wince. Just like with the first finger, Danny forced himself to relax. It burned and felt odd to be stretched; especially when Vlad started scissoring him. His erection had wilted slightly due to the unexpected intrusion. Danny's heard of gay sex and he was curious as to how it worked. So, naturally, he had done research. Why would any guy allow someone to put something in them when it didn't feel go—

"Ahh! Vlad!" Danny shouted in surprise. The man's fingers had brushed against something in him, sending a shock wave of pleasure through him. For some reason, Danny could clearly picture the older hybrid smirking smugly behind him.

"There we are," Vlad purred as he pushed in a third finger and jabbed the same spot, elicting another scream from the young halfa. Danny wasn't used to the sensation and was clearly enjoying it. It didn't seem to surprise the older man when Danny whined at the abrupt loss of fingers in him. Danny shivered, now feeling stretched and empty. "Are you ready to try something bigger?" Vlad asked in a low, husky voice.

Immediately, Danny tensed in nervousness. Was Vlad talking about …? No, no Danny wasn't ready for that. Shaking his head in protest, he was just about to voice out his opinion on the matter when something cold and hard brushed against his entrance. He frowned in puzzlement; just what was that? As it pushed further in his ring, he winced. It was a bigger stretch than Vlad's fingers, but it wasn't too bad. It just burned. Danny shivered. It was unpleasantly cold. When it was fully in him, Danny cried out when the cock-shaped object began to vibrate, sending bundles of pleasure up his spine.

"Vlad!" Danny gasped, moaning wantonly at the sensations pleasuring his body.

A deep chuckle met his ears as a warm hand grabbed at one of his cheeks and squeezed. "Like that?" Vlad asked in a somewhat mocking voice. "It's a vibrator. It's quite the fun toy to use." He began to pull and push the vibrator, causing the stimulation Danny would receive if it were an actual erection in him. "Although it's not as … thick or large as mine would be."

The purr only furthered Danny's arousal, which was getting difficult to stand. He was so hard, and Vlad was making him feel incredible. The vibrator was hitting his spot and sending jolts of pleasure throughout his body. He could only helplessly moan, wither and gasp. Still, the dildo didn't feel like enough. The vibrations were good, so wonderfully good, but the image of Vlad's thick length in him sent his body ablaze. It disturbed and scared him to know he wanted that. A soft mewl escaped him as his prostrate was hit again.

"V-Vlad…p-please…" he wanted release; the pressure was building and he was so, so close, but he couldn't cum until that damn cock ring was off him. "Ahhh, please!"

"Please what, pet?"

"Please…" Embarrassment caused his face to flush. Vlad was really going to make him say it, wasn't he? As Vlad sped up the pace in which he was thrusting the vibrator in him, Danny momentarily let go of his pride and begged, "Please let me cum! Please Master…"

He felt ready to burst. Vlad didn't offer him any release and it was driving the young halfa insane. When he felt Vlad's hand on his cock ring, he almost felt like crying. The older hybrid's hot voice reached ear, "You want to cum?"

"Y-Yes,"

"I don't know if you deserve to, pet. I'm still upset with you for disobeying me after I was so gracious enough to give you so much freedom."

Vlad squeezed his cock while simultaneously thrusting the vibrator in and out of him. When Vlad pushed the vibrator in and left it there at the hilt, right on Danny's prostrate where it would be sending pleasurable vibrations up his spine, Danny chocked. His pride was past gone at this point. "Ahhh…! I'm sorry Master, I'm sorry! I-I won't do it again! Nngh…P-Please let me cum, please!"

"I shouldn't let you, pet. It will teach you a lesson to not disobey me again, won't it?" Danny could only whimper in response. "You'll choose to obey next time, won't you, pet?" In answer to his question, Danny nodded. He didn't care what he agreed to, as long as Vlad gave him that sweet relief he needed. "Good boy." Vlad praised, phasing off the cock ring while pushing the vibrator further in.

White spots before the young halfa's eyes as he came hard onto the silk sheets below him. He moaned loudly as he rode out his climax. Once he was spent, he fought hard not to collapse onto the bed. His body shook from the intensity of his orgasm. The vibrator was still in him, buzzing with life, but Danny could only numbly feel it. His heart was racing a mile a minute and he could feel the blood pumping though his veins. Unable to hold it any longer, he collapsed onto his side and rolled onto his back, staring at the ceiling as he tried to steady his breathing.

He had expected arms to wrap around him, like it usually did when Danny had an orgasm from the man. When they didn't come, he looked over to the billionaire. Vlad's eyes were drinking in his form, the lust clear in those blue eyes. Swallowing, Danny wondered if Vlad would want him to return the favor…Why did that thought seem so appealing? However, when Vlad placed his hands in his pockets and his eyes turned a bit too cold for Danny's liking, he knew that was not the man's intention.

"Go to your room and get some rest, pet."

It was a dismissal. Danny's heart clenched painfully as he regarded the older halfa. "What?" Since when did he have his own room? Most importantly, why didn't Vlad want him sleeping on the same bed as he?

"Well, the guest room you stayed at previously. You are to stay there tonight as punishment." Vlad explained calmly.

It shouldn't be a punishment, but it certainly felt like one. Danny had trouble sleeping without the older halfa last time. He shivered from cold, feeling more naked and exposed than ever before. The sense of vulnerability was making him even more upset. Sighing, he reached for his boxers and put them on. Climbing off the bed, Danny obeyed Vlad's order. After gathering his clothes, he was about to walk to the room when Vlad ruffled his hair. Looking up at the older man, Danny saw remorse and affection in those cobalt blue eyes.

"This is hard on me as well, pet." Vlad ran his hand soothingly through the dark locks and continued, "However, a punishment is a punishment. If I show leniency, you won't be hesitate to disobey me again." Lightly, he pressed a soft kiss on a furrowed brow. "You had me worried, little badger. As much as I wanted to convince myself that you merely lost track of time with your friends, a part of me wondered if you were hurt, or worse."

Sighing, Danny could only nod as he walked out of the room. After finding the guest room he was supposed to stay in, he dropped his clothes and took a hot shower. It felt good on his body, but didn't fill the void in his heart from being apart from the older hybrid. The only thing that kept him sane was the look Vlad gave him when he explained that it was difficult on Vlad to be apart from him. His heart fluttered as he recalled his words. Vlad had been worried about him? Was that why he had been so angry? It would sort of make sense, considering how much Vlad showed he actually…cared for him.

Vlad cared for him. As hard as it was to believe or even fathom, the man showed it in small, subtle ways. Despite the circumstances, Vlad did save him from being enslaved to some other ghost. Although that didn't excuse why Vlad didn't release him, but there was that. There was also the fact that Vlad made sure Danny ate, was comfortable, and received training for his ghost powers. He had to admit he had gotten so much better at it. Even though he hated doing extra school work over the summer, it was hard to deny how beneficial it was for him to get ahead before he started college. Ghost hunting had taken a lot of his time away from doing so.

Then there were the affectionate touches. Vlad would pet his hair, hug and kiss him he was some sort of treasure. He never demanded Danny to necessarily do anything with him. In fact, even if Danny was reluctant on his part, it did seem one sided. The older man shamelessly spoiled the younger halfa, making sure all his needs were met, while ignoring his own for the most part. Sometimes, the older hybrid was playful with him or just overall comfortable enough to talk to him about anything. That was another thing Danny sort of liked about Vlad; he never sugar coated anything for him. He never doubted what Danny could handle.

Finishing his shower, Danny grabbed his towel and dried himself off. Everything was so confusing. It was hard to believe that Vlad actually cared for him and was only looking out for him. Was it really so bad? The older hybrid treated him great, when he wasn't being a jerk and ordering him around. Even though he's threatened to, he had never pressed the blue button and mindlessly controlled him. Vlad only used the red button if he 'deserved' it. With that thought, he crawled into his bed, feeling the loneliness creep into him. Maybe he could open up and give Vlad a chance, instead of always resisting.
