After a lot of cleaning up and cleaning out, Mordecai and Rocky finally sank into the warm bathtub together. There were going to be some things that would need to be addressed in a few minutes once everything settled and Mordecai was able to gather his thoughts.

The tuxedo closed his eyes and leaned back against his partner, taking a few moments to appreciate the hot water and how soothing it was to his aching muscles.
"I said we should make baths a regularly scheduled activity for us and yet we haven't since the last time..."
He sighed his thoughts aloud.

Rocky let his head rest against the tub wall, wrapping his arms around the man before him and began to purr softly.
"Yeah... we've just been so busy. Maybe we could plan a scheduled day to relax like this."
He chuckled quietly, knowing how Mordecai liked to schedule everything. So why not relaxation time?

"Yes, I'd very much like to do that."
The tuxedo nodded as he let the back of his head rest on Rocky's shoulder. His hands carefully situated themselves over top of the tabby's and let out a content sigh.

"How are you feeling?"
Mordecai proceeded to ask, opening his eyes now to look at his partner.

Rocky's purring continued lightly, feeling snuggly and at ease.
"I'm exhausted, but feeling great at the same time."
He kissed the top of Mordecai's head repeatedly.

"Perhaps we should have retired for the evening instead of a bath."
Mordecai hummed, leaning into the affection a bit.
"We can cut it short if you feel it necessary. I'd rather not have you falling asleep in the tub again..."

"No! No! This is great! It's so relaxing and it feels so nice."
The tabby shushed Mordecai.
"I'd rather be awake with you anyway. My body is the tired one, not me."
He laughed, giving Mordecai a squeeze.

"I suppose I understand where you're coming from."
The tuxedo squeezed Rocky's arms in return, leaning in a way his forehead nestled into the nape of his partner's neck.
"About earlier though... has anything come to mind? Anything you would like to address?"
He just wanted to make sure they got everything out in the open now while everything was still fresh.

Rocky thought about that for a few moments.
"I do want to apologize again for my rough actions when... I was in your mouth."
He cleared his throat, a little embarrassed at how carried away he got.

"Yes, that was far from comfortable, but I accept your apology."
Mordecai turned his head again to face forward, looking ahead before closing his eyes.
"I don't think I'll be doing that very often, so I hope you got all that you wanted from that and remember it well."

"I will cherish the memory for the rest of my days. You looked positively gorgeous doing it, and it felt amazing physically. Emotionally... that I'll be regretting making you uncomfortable."
The tabby gave the tuxedo another squeeze.
"As for the choking... you seemed to get really into it hm?"
He smirked even though Mordecai couldn't see him necessarily.

The smirk could very clearly be heard just in the tone of voice; causing the tuxedo's white brows to knit together a bit as he cleared his throat.
"Yes, I understand why you enjoy that. The same goes for the impact on the rear, interestingly enough. There's got to be an explanation for it but for now, I will take my newfound knowledge and apply it all accordingly."

"You're so cute when you're serious."
Rocky laughed and hugged Mordecai tighter.
"Your butt jiggles when you're spanked, I hope you know. It's quite lovely."
He said in a regal mocking tone.

Mordecai's expression turned to detestation and his ears folded back as he leaned away just enough so that he could glare at his partner for his comment.
"I'd absolutely adore it if you refrained from pointing these things out to me... I could have lived a long and happy life without that repugnant information being brought forward..."
