It seemed there was no helping it one way or another Caden was inching him way under his skin. He wondered just what he could do about this predicament but decided it was best not to dwell on something so heavy right before trying to get some sleep himself.<br/><br/>After all they had a long day ahead of them tomorrow sorting out the lawsuit with Alan's help even if the lawyer was confident he was going to win. Charles was really not looking forward to another of pissing contest with the Dom that reminded him of everything he did wrong. Oh well. They would deal with that tomorrow. Managing to curb the impulse to give Caden a kiss on the forehead Charles simply replied, "you're welcome." As he stood tall and went to shut the light off and retreat to his connected room.<br/><br/>It did feel good be thanked for applying the structure and discipline that he could see the boy craved. Even if he didn't agree with everything and something it was a bit of suffering to get through the punishments, he felt like the day had been a job well done. Or possibly emotional disaster nearly averted. Either way he found himself looking forward to waking Caden for breakfast like he typically did and even having their guest join them as long as the lawyer would play at being civil.
