The door creaked open, revealing what Sly was expecting. A third female, another feline lie in wait in his room. On his bed sat a cream colored cat. Her long brown hair was tied up in a ponytail behind her. She wore black and gold lingerie as well, but hers came complete with an embarrassed look on her face. Sly looked at Luck with a warm smile on his face. She was the most spirited of his pets and it always pleased and amused him to see her acting so shy. She sported her collar, which meant that she intended to be fully submissive on her own. And to her collar like the others was attached a leash. She smiled at him and looked down as Maneki cleared her throat. "Um...Good evening Master." said Luck hesitantly. "Good evening Kitten. Going by what I've seen so far from Maneki and Pips here, and your demeanor now I assume you have something you'd like to say to me." he said encouragingly. "Y-Yes Master. Actually we all do. But I'll go first." she said blushing softly.

I can’t believe I agreed to this,
I’m trying my best not to hiss,
I asked to be your pet its true,
But what I’m doing now I have no clue,
Mushy confessions aren’t normally my thing,
But when it comes to you; my feelings I want to sing,
In this world I thought there would never be,
Someone who could call themselves Master over me,
But here you stand two years later,
And I have to admit I’ve never felt happier,
Every day you make me feel wanted, warm, and protected,
Back at the orphanage; this life I never would have expected,
I’m going to stop because it’s embarrassing enough,
That I’m actually starting to gush.
Happy Valentines Day.

As Luck finished her poem she nodded to the others and they smiled back at her knowingly.

"Roses are red; Violets are blue,
This is what your pets would like to say to you,
Something special that we want to say each,
Thank you, and we are proud that you have the lead of our collective leash.
We hope this arrangement lasts for a very long time,
We love you Master. Will you be our Valentine?"

The three females asked in unison. Sly smiled and looked around the room at his gathered pets. This was a pleasant surprise indeed. Luck moved up to him and held out the lead for her leash with a smile. Sly took hold of it and pulled her in for a quick kiss. "Thank you girls. I love you all and I am very happy to have you in my life. Of course I'll be your Valentines. As long as you'll all be mine." he said. Maneki, Pips, and Luck all laughed as they hugged the wolfox together. "Of course we will Master." they replied as the door to Sly's room closed.

This closes out the three part series commissioned in stream last week.  dreamingwyld did a wonderful job on all three and I am very happy she did. I hope you enjoyed reading the short story.
