His free arm moved to wrap around Chris and keep him pressed up close while Cole moved to press down on his lap. Cole wanted Chris distracted with his affection and physical contact so that he wouldn't be able to fight as much when it came to ordering him to answer the tough questions. "I'll touch you everywhere," he said softly as he leaned in closer, brushing his lips against Chris's for a quick moment before he pulled back. "You like being bound like this, like being forced to wait until I feel like giving you the affection you seek. You need it nearly as much as the affection when you haven't been without for a while, love it because it means I care for you."

There was a moment as he processed that and then rested his chin on Chris's shoulder, almost as if he was pulling him into a hug without actually doing so. Everything suddenly made sense and he let out a sharp breath. "I'm so sorry, Chris," he murmured in a gentle tone, sounding as if he had told him rather depressing news. "I'm so sorry that you have a man like that as your father. He doesn't deserve to have you as his son."
