Unconventional

Chapter Thirteen - Explanations and Punishments

CHEN:

I woke up in the morning, still surrounding Xiumin, holding him as close to me as possible. The sight made me smile, seeing his face snuggled into my chest, his arms around my waist and our legs entangled together. I leaned down to lightly peck his head, thinking I needed to do that more often. Spending time apart from him made me see things a little differently.

But then I remembered our brief conversation last night, or rather, early this morning, and realized I still had to punish him today. But that could wait a little longer. Now, I needed to wake him up so he could get ready for work.

"Baby, you need to get up," I murmured in his ear, just loud enough for him to hear. He whined a little, incoherently, and wiggled a little in my hold. I tilted his chin up some, so I could see his face clearly, which was adorable when it was scrunched up the way it was, and kissed him lightly on his lips.

"Come on, babe. You gotta get ready for work. Henry wouldn't like it if you were late."

"I don't care. I just wanna be here with you," he whined, this time audibly enough that I could understand what he was saying.

"Babe, you know I'm going with you. Do you really think I'd make you go to work today without me?"

"You still have to punish me, don't you?" he asked, his eyes still closed.

"Yeah, but I'm not that cruel. I'm not going to give you a punishment that isn't fun for me." He chuckled a little, realizing I was right and maybe a little sadistic.

"Fine. But will you carry me to the shower and wash with me?"

"Of course. We'll talk about your punishment when we're done." He tensed up a little, but still let me lift him and carry him to the bathroom.

I set him down on the counter while I started the shower and set the water temperature. When I was comfortable with it, I walked back to him, pulling his boxers off his legs and dropping them on the floor next to me, then stripped myself as well, lifting him off the counter and setting him down in front of me. He immediately wrapped his arms around my waist, leaning against me and throwing off my balance for a moment.

"Still tired?" I asked, hugging him back and stroking his hair softly.

"Yeah. I couldn't sleep well without you and I got no sleep last night until you came home."

"I'm sorry. Do you need me to wash you?"

"Please?" I lifted his chin up again, kissing him lightly.

"Gladly," I whispered against his lips. I lifted him as he wrapped his legs around my waist and held onto my neck, as I walked us to the shower, setting him back down when we were in.

I took my time washing him, being as gentle as I could. When we were both clean, Xiumin had woken up enough to get out and dress himself after he dried off. I made us some coffee and brought him a cup in the living room, where he was sitting on the couch and browsing through his phone.

"Thanks, Chen," he said, taking the cup from me and taking a sip.

"No problem, babe," I replied, taking a seat next to him and softly rubbing his thigh, which he didn't take much notice to, probably because he was still tired. "Are you ready to talk about your punishment?"

He stiffened slightly in his seat and I couldn't tell if he was excited for it or nervous.

"Not really, but it's not really up to me, is it?"

"Now, now, Baozi. That attitude will just make it worse, and we don't want that, do we?" I questioned, rubbing his thigh a little closer to his crotch, causing him to tense more.
