No, you can do this without topping nor preempting him the choice of how to proceed.

I would suggest next time you talk, just apologize for the transgression. As an act of contrition, you will have told him you feel you stepped out of line and are sorry. At the same time as you point out your transgression, (something he may not have considered,) you leave him not only a way out but the whole responsibility of deciding how to react. Thereby avoiding the whole issue of topping him from the bottom.

Now... don't be disappointed if he decides to forgive you and not task you... but I can almost guarantee that he will be more aware if it happens again.

Be careful... If you want a punishment task bad enough... he may not give it at all... to punish you.
