My boyfriend from time to time says that I OWN him....What does that mean?

He some times says that I own him. But its so confusing to me because I don't feel like he is my property or anything. I don't want him to think that way either...We have been dating a little over 3 and a half months...kinda exclusively. Does anyone know why he says that I "own" him, and what his intentions may be behind this? If I supposedly owned him as he says it why does he not want us to date openly?

He text me something a a couple days ago and I responded to it.

He replied back from my response to his text (very personal info I will not disclose on here) saying that he told me this because I OWNED him, he exaggerated the the word then goes on to say that at least he thought I did.

So Guys (and girls too) What does he mean by that?

Just so you ALL know I do not try and control him. I give him his space, don't call him EVERY single day, I text him at least 1-2 times a day. I don't demand all of his attention either. So controlling him is not an issue...
