It wasn't that Charles wanted someone mindless but there were limits to how to do so respectfully. He had made sure that the other had a sign he could give to safeword out when he did cover his mouth not that Caden gave him the impression that would do so any time soon. Sure he might not have liked the icing but often times it was about serving the dom, pleasing them, or suffering for them. They were still feeling out the limits of what he wanted but really Charles did want to make it clear he cared for Caden and by caring for him he was going to put him in his place and sometimes not in the fun way. He wasn't looking to make the other scared because it wasn't like his expectations were unreasonable.<br/><br/>He wasn't even really pissed off but he felt the tug with the need of control just at his fingertips and so was feeling rather authoritarian. The punishment was dealt out when it came to this moment and he didn't believe in punishing in anger. Once it was done the submissive was forgiven after all that was part of the gift and not to carry over to the rest of their play. He calmly nodded his voice even, "Let us go. I'm looking forward to the meeting." He didn't think Caden would want to be touched by him right now but he wanted to make a point of having the other knew he wasn't avoiding him. He reached out a hand to card it through the boy's hair. "You don't good for the most part I just have high hopes for you." And he meant it but that didn't mean he was going to let praise go to Caden's head.<br/><br/>Opening the door he gestured for the other to follow him out the door as they made their way to the main conference room where a precent of the board members were to meet them. The rest were going to call in for a quick discussion and then they would be on their way and outside of some outstanding set up for the company the rest of their day would be their own.
