He's in love with him. He doesn't have it in him to be cold and inventive with his punishments and he definitely doesn't want him to escape his control by giving him up. You call him "governor" but he is not the governor in this moment. He lost sight of that part of himself in this relationship a long time ago. (That was part of its appeal.)
All the same, I did hope for him to veer off this path even a little. Not looking forward to the coming chapters.
agreed
Yep. Totally believable that governor wants to punish with more of the same old same old. Plot is a joke fr.
