Henry listed off punishment suggestions, giving Thomas the chance to say yes or no to each one. He loved the idea of gags and being humiliated. He also loved the idea of a painful punishment, which Henry seemed amused by.
When all was said and done, Thomas signed the bottom of the three-page contract. It was a little intimidating, especially since his English-reading skills were still questionable, but he trusted Henry despite not know what most of the contract said.
"Oh!" Henry exclaimed, watching Thomas puzzle out the contract. "I'm so sorry. I should've offered to explain this to you. Would you like me to explain what this all means?"
"Oui. I do not understand this."
"Come here." Henry patted his leg and Thomas eagerly sat down, making himself comfortable in his lap. Henry picked up the contract, holding it so they could both see it.
"So, this first part goes over the basic expectations. I expect you to follow my orders as best you can. I will treat you with respect and reward you for being well-behaved, but only if you are well-behaved. If you break the rules, you will be punished. And most importantly, your health comes first. If you are sick or if I do something to upset you, I expect you to tell me so I can take care of you. Understand so far?"
"Oui, Monsieur."
"The next part is where I like to have fun." Thomas shifted in his lap, resting his head on Henry's chest. "This will walk you through your day-to-day routine. You will be here on time every morning. If you are late, you will be punished unless you have a good reason. When you get here, you will say hello like you always do, because I find it so adorable when you do."
"Monsieur!" Thomas giggled as Henry tickled him. "Ah, Henry!"
"I will compliment your outfit each morning, as requested. And then, you will clean the house according to the instructions that I give you. If, for some reason, I'm not here, I'll text you your instructions. When you're finished, you will let me know immediately. And then... we can have some fun."
"Ooh, Monsieur!" Thomas gave Henry his best bedroom-eyes.
"That is also when I will also give you your punishments." Henry delivered a pinch to Thomas's ass and he squeaked. "Still understand?"
"Oui, Monsieur." Henry chuckled and patted his cheek.
"Good. Your punishments are listed here. And your rewards are listed here." Henry pointed to each column of words. Thomas intently studied them, slowly working out what each word meant. "And that should be it."
"Merci, Monsieur." Thomas gave him an open-mouthed kiss, clinging to his shoulders. "I am so excited!"
"So am I, Thomas."
