That one exception

Part 48

I tried to pull myself together, we had rented a large house in the middle of nowhere so that we wouldn't be tempted to fill any spare time with game play or editing, so noises were few and far between. It was a big house and he could be talking to Evan and Delirious before they leave or getting a drink, I was fairly sure that I wouldn't be able to hear what was going on in the main part of the house from here. I slowly got out of bed and pulled on my sweat pants just in case the guys were still here because I was fairly sure neither of them would want to see my naked ass walking around the house.

I made my way slowly down stairs hoping to hear some kind of indication that someone was here but there didn't seem to be a single sound coming from anywhere...it was kind of creepy.  I knew I was dragging my feet because I didn't want to find if I was right, I had what felt like hundreds of questions running around in my head.  Did he do it on purpose because he wanted out?  did he forget? if he forgot should I punish him? Did he do it on purpose because he was in one of his kinky moods and wanted me to punish him?  I couldn't answer any of the questions because I couldn't focus on just one of them long enough to think it through.  I checked all of the rooms down stairs and seemed to be in some weird kind of frustrated trance, I felt like I was out of it but at the same time completely focused and twitchy.  I headed upstairs and got dressed not really knowing how I was going to find Mini, I mean I've never been to Canada before, I didn't know the area or the first place to even begin looking for Mini and even if I did I didn't know how to go to get there.  Even with all this buzzing around in my head I just kept getting ready to go out, I finally became fully aware of what I was doing as I walked across the living room.  I pulled on my Jacket and headed for the front door, as I shrugged it into place the door swung violently open and mini staggered in wrestling more grocery bags than he could obviously handle.  

He froze when he saw me, almost dropping two of the bags "Jeesus Tyler you scared the shit out of me" He grumbled as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath to compose himself.  Without saying a word I took the two bags and reached behind mini to close the door.  He quickly headed to the kitchen with me close behind him and put the groceries on the counter,  I placed the bags I had beside his and quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him away before he could start putting stuff away.  He looked at me with a confused expression as I pushed him back against a near by counter. 

"You broke your promise" I muttered watching him intently so that I could figure out how to handle this.  He frowned at me genuinely confused about what I meant, a split second later all of the color drained from his face and the look of horror filled his eyes

"I thought you made me promise that just for the convention because of the whole getting my ass kicked thing" he mumbled as he looked like he was trying to decide if he wanted to cry or be sick.  I took hold of his wrist as he tried to put his hand over his mouth and took hold of his chin in my other hand.

"I know you Min...I know when you're lying...and when you are telling me the truth" I ran my thumb over his jaw as I watched his panic filled eyes flicking around my face.

"you said you'd never trust me again" he whimpered and swallowed hard

"I know you're telling me the truth...I still trust you Min...but...I have to keep my word" I ran my hand over the side of his face and onto the back of his neck trying to get him to calm down. "this is what's going to happen...I'm going to go upstairs and get something, by the time I get back you will have stripped off all of your clothes and be standing here buck ass naked with your hands on the edge of the counter"

"But the groceries..." he looked a little shell shocked and fidgeted uncomfortably.

"They can wait a few minutes" I pulled his chin back up so that he had to look at me " Mini...if you are not naked when I get back I will have to punish you...do you understand?"
