7.25 Learn Your Lesson Yet?

cw: description of bondage in the last part of the chapter. Short, hence no warning in the title :) I won't dive too deep in bdsm aspect in this story *cough* but maybe this is intense enough...1

"Almost all of our spies are dead, Boss." That was the first thing Kaede reported early in the morning even before Moshe had the chance to sip his coffee. "I have told the others to lay low but at this rate, they will be found sooner or later. You're right, Zion is still alive. There's no way Hector, this rabid dog, will move so fast without his master's order."

Moshe's face darkened. He pressed his lips into thin lines and decided. "Pull back." Sacrifice was necessary sometimes. They couldn't forsake the whole tree just because a branch was caught on fire. Kaede knew it too that's why he nodded despite his unwillingness to leave anyone behind. 

A somber mood enveloped them for a while. Then Kaede recalled what he had originally been ordered to do. "Here's the thing you ask for, Boss." He pushed a flash drive in front of Moshe. A scowl appeared on his face. "I have seen the footage. Aiden had indeed crossed paths with Zion and the two tussled for a while. Was it truly a coincidence, Boss? I personally think he's quite suspicious. Are you going to do something?"

Moshe recalled the predicament Aiden was in right now and couldn't help chuckling. "He has already received punishment for his bad behavior."

Somehow Kaede had a feeling that he didn't want to ask too much about it.

Moshe took the flash drive and stood up. "Tell the men monitoring Hector to pull away. It's futile to tail him any longer. Now that Zion's whereabouts is unknown, his level of caution will be the highest. We will just make unnecessary sacrifices if we continue like that." He proceeded to walk to the door. "Continue to search for Zion. I don't believe that he will drop out of our radar just like that. Someone must have been covering for him."

"Okay, Boss!" Looking at his boss' light yet hurried steps, Kaede couldn't resist asking. "Where are you going, Boss?"

"My pet must be hungry." Moshe said cheerfully. "I have to feed him or else he will throw tantrums again." 

Kaede's jaws remained agape even until Moshe disappeared from sight. Then he came to his senses with a jerk and slapped his own mouth. "You idiot, why would you ask something like that?!" Alas, it was no use crying over spilled milk. Kaede only wished that he could bleach his brain to erase the image that had popped up due to Moshe's suggestive words!

Before Moshe could reach his private room, he was intercepted by a little bundle of smiles that was Cheryl, Aiden's little sister. "Brother Moshe, good morning!" As she always did these past few days, Cheryl barreled forward to hug Moshe around his torso, grinning up at him with a toothy smile. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"I did. Thank you for asking." Moshe couldn't help but feel his heart soften at the sight of this little girl. It was so strange. They had clearly known each other for less than a week but Moshe had already grown so fond of the girl enough to buy her anything she wanted. Was this likeable trait running in the whole family? Moshe thought, amused. He patted Cheryl's head. "Are you looking for me?"

"I was looking for my brother!" Cheryl pouted and stomped her feet. She looked so adorable sulking with her chubby cheeks that Moshe let out another chuckle. "He was clearly with me when we went to bed but when I woke up, he disappeared again! Had he gone to work?"

"Ah you're right. He has indeed gone to work early in the morning." Moshe cleared his throat awkwardly when he recalled the 'work' he had made Aiden do. "He will return by noon, though. Do you want me to pass him a message?"

"No need." Cheryl sulked and crossed her arms over her chest. "I just want him not to work so hard. But it seems unlikely that he will listen to me." Before Moshe could give a response, the little girl lifted her head to stare into his eyes and for a split second, Moshe thought that her gaze was almost scrutinizing. He shelved the thought away. How old was Cheryl again? He had really been too paranoid to think of her like that. "Brother Moshe, you will take care of my brother, right? You won't let him get hurt again… right?"

"I won't." The promise came to him so easily that it surprised even himself. Moshe never took promises lightly. When he said he would do something, then he would definitely see it to the end. "Don't worry, no one will harm him under my watch."

After seeing Cheryl off to the door where a guard would then drive her to school, Moshe made his way to the private room, whistling a random tune. He scanned his pupils and opened the door whilst balancing a tray of food with another. "Ai-den~" He singsonged as he walked in to cross the privacy screen to put the food tray on the table. "Your master is here. Are you happy now?"

The rhythm of Lu Yizhou's breathing changed and that's all Moshe needed to know that the man was awake.

"Rude. Why don't you say something?" He picked up a small plate filled with an assortment of fruits and sauntered toward where Lu Yizhou was bound. Moshe let out a hum of satisfaction as he examined his artwork. "Do you enjoy it there? I especially took out the props I seldom use just for you, you know."

Lu Yizhou let out a huff and judging from his current plight, it sounded more like a snort. Rather than offended, Moshe let out a delightful laugh. He inched closer and tugged on the chain that was connected to the clamps pinching on Lu Yizhou's nipples, earning him a muffled groan and a full body shiver from the man who was kneeling on the thick fluffy mat. 

He was naked save from a piece of thin, black boxer that did nothing to hide his enormous erection. His honey skin was bearing the marks Moshe had bore into him, glistening with sweat all over and oh… he looked so beautiful like this that Moshe felt his cock twitch with interest.

Lu Yizhou's eyes were blindfolded and his mouth was occupied with holding a round ball gag, drool trailing down his jaw to add to the depravity. A collar had been added to the collection — Moshe had ordered it to be made right after his first interaction with Lu Yizhou — made of soft velvet material with the silver color to compliment his eyes nicely. There was even a silver pendant attached to it with the shape of his name.

Moshe had learned from prior experience not to rely on ropes when it came to Lu Yizhou, hence he decided to use leather armbinders to restrict his sneaky hands behind his back. The straps of the armbinders came around Lu Yizhou's broad shoulders and connected to it… was a massive chain hanging from appendages on the ceiling. 

If Lu Yizhou wished to escape, then he might as well tear the whole ceiling along with him.

Moshe whistled appreciatively. "What a gorgeous creature you are. How is it, pet? Have you learned your lesson yet?"
