For some reason Charles wasn’t buying that Nick was ‘just that guy’ and if he was maybe it was time to give him some more responsibilities as he seemed more capable than he let on. He was impressed with how Caden wanted to eat dinner without the tv but it was a lot better to have company and conversation without the distraction. “Well in any case I hope you know I will stop any time you use your safewords.” He glanced to the door just as the dinner arrived. The chefs served up a nice steak dinner with roasted potatoes and green beans. It was nothing fancy but it was all the things needed to function and very filling. Charles made a noise of approval as he tried the food.<br/><br/>While Charles liked to control what he ate he really did enjoy a good steak and it was a bit of a guilty pleasure as too much red meat wasn’t the best for you. He was happy to chat about some work matters and finalize some details as he took his time eating his food. “My only concern might be how much you can handle when it comes to how much I want to control.” His eyes locked with Caden’s as he said knowing he would consume the boy if he was allowed to. “I appreciate that you’re eager to please and look forward to seeing just how much. Now, feel free to take as much time as you need to get yourself together and I will be in my room. Feel free to come join me when you’re feeling up for it. That doesn’t even mean it has to be tonight. I also encourage you think about anything you feel you need to be punished for still.”<br/><br/>He left the choice open to Caden as a final way for him to back out as Caden had choose this for himself. For the time being Charles helped clean up the plates and move to his own room getting a book out as he settled into the clean and cozy space. If he read the other man right he would want to come at least for some release but he wanted to make sure that he was doing it not just to please Charles. He wanted to give the other release from any of his problems and that meant punishment to release any tension and guilt the other man might have.
