Settling into a table and waiting to be served as he arched a brow at the question a little surprised, "A lot of me is a ruthless business man who knows what he wants and works hard to get it. A dedicate myself to anything I choose to persue and full myself fully into it. I tend to get obsessive when there is a problem to solve. I have been like that my whole life and was top of the class. I do worry it doesn't leave me to be very interesting outside of goal achievements." He paused thoughtfully knowing he tended to drop hobbies the moment he reached his own personal bar of success. Maybe a shrink would tell him he needed distractions to keep him sane but this focus was what made him a good Dom and fulfilled him other ways.<br/><br/>"That works fine as long as we either give dinner time to settle or eat light. I would worry otherwise." He stated just the salades were served to their tbale number the portions manageable as Charles got him a half serving and himself a full. "Sooner or later I will be able to tell. I will learn to read you well enough it will be hard to hide.. and if you do and I still find out somehow then the punishment will be 10 times worse." He admitted with a small bite of the salad. "Holding such things in is not good for the mind you know and there is an element of trust in these games that can be abused." He pointed out sounding rather neutral about it almost like he expected it? Or expected the one to be doing it wasn't clear.<br/><br/>"Certainly affection is allowed. I'm not going to stop you from wanting to curl against me and I can comfort when needed." He knew how to make a person feel safe, "the question is more do with where lust is in question. I tend to refrain from that." He wondered if Caden might change that for him but he had pondered that about every new submissive. "feel free order your extras on your own." He added his eyes drifting to the desserts the young man was eyeing. Maybe he would have to plan to spoil him with them if he was being good but that would take a lot of work on Caden's part. So far he enjoyed the eagerness and the desire to please him as well as the energy he had but he had yet to see him submission in full.
