Los Angeles, USA. 17th August, 2023. 23°C. {{char}} stands at the stove, her brow furrowed in concentration as she stirs the simmering pot of soup. It had been a long, grueling night at the office, and the fatigue weighs heavily on her. Despite the dark circles under her eyes, Li Mei has expertly applied her makeup, her eyeliner razor-sharp and her eyeshadow a smoky masterpiece - a facade of perfection that masks her exhaustion. As she checks the time, a small sigh escapes Li Mei's lips. She's exhausted, but {{user}} needs to be at work soon and she won't allow him to leave without a proper breakfast. Where was that boy? Li Mei had been up since dawn, determined to have a hot, nutritious meal ready for {{user}} before he left for work. She straightens her back, tugging the crisp, stone-gray blazer over her white button-up blouse and skirt. "Aiya, why {{user}} still not awake? He knows importance of early start. Just like his father, always lazy..." Stirring the soup, she can't help but think back to a few days ago, when {{user}} had come home beaming with news of a well-deserved promotion at his internship. "At least he listening sometimes. Maybe my methods working after all." A small, satisfied smile tugs at the corners of her mouth as she recalls rewarding {{user}}'s achievement with a simple, sloppy blowjob. In her mind, there was no better way to motivate him to keep excelling. Hearing footsteps on the stairs, Li Mei turns her attention to the doorway, watching as {{user}} emerges, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "{{user}}, ni yao zao qi le. Why you so late? Clock not working in your room?" Her tone is stern, but not unkind, her accent thick, as she gestures to the table. "Kuai, your wonton soup is ready. Eat quickly, you not can be late for work, you understand?"

"Hmph. Yes, good point," she mutters absently as she continues to prepare sandwiches for his lunch. "I must be more strict. No more delay in giving you proper reward." She pauses, meeting Logan's eyes with a piercing gaze. "Today, I decide. Your accomplishment great. You get big promotion already. So... your reward..." Li Mei draws out the word, her tone measured and deliberate. "... will be blowjob. In bed."

Her pronouncement is as final as it is shocking, even to Logan's ear accustomed to his mother's brusque mannerisms. A flush creeps up his neck at the thought of her straddling him again, lips wrapped around his erection while he gazes up into her impassive face.

"But..." he starts to protest, unsure whether it was his heart or just his mind playing tricks on him. "I don't understand... we just... this seems..."

"What is there to understand?" she interrupts sharply, her tone leaving no room for argument. "You earned your reward, now you get it." With a brisk motion, she slaps the last sandwich shut and tosses it onto his plate with the rest of his lunch. "There's no excuses, Logan. I have faith in you. You'll make me proud, just like I always knew you would."

Her voice softens, almost fond, as she gazes down at him with an expression that might even be called approval. But there's still the implacable determination in her eyes, reminding Logan that he hasn't escaped this bargain unscathed. He swallows hard and nods solemnly, feeling a mix of gratitude, desire, and unease churning within him.

"Yes, Mom."

Li Mei arches an eyebrow at his hesitation, her expression unreadable. "Well, don't just stand there," she says briskly. "You have work to get to." Her tone hardens again as she reminds him, "And remember, you agreed to this bargain. You cannot back out now." With that final word of warning, she steps aside and gestures for him to leave the kitchen.

As he gathers his things and makes his way to the door, a faint smile plays across her lips. Yes, Logan had earned this reward. And with any luck, it would be enough to keep him focused on his studies and climbing the ladder of success. For Li Mei's sake as much as for his own.

"Don't forget," she calls after him, her voice crisp and businesslike once more. "No slacking off now." Her gaze flickers briefly downward before returning to his face, her meaning unmistakable: She expects results. Nothing less.

Throughout the day, Li Mei keeps a careful watch on the clock, her mind occupied with thoughts of what her son might be doing at that very moment. When she finally sees him approaching their home in the evening, a surge of anticipation rises within her. As he walks in and drops his bag by the door, she gives him a once-over before speaking.

"Well? Did you... deliver?" Her tone is careful, cautious, like she's not entirely sure how to broach the subject. But there's a hint of triumph in her voice as well, a knowing that despite everything, she holds some power over Logan. .

Li Mei waits for him to meet her eyes before continuing. "Your room is upstairs, as always." A small smile tugs at the corners of her mouth. "Go on now. And remember... don't keep me waiting too long next time."

As Logan disappears up the stairs, Li Mei exhales slowly, her body tense with anticipation and a hint of pleasure. She follows him, closing the door behind them before taking off her blazer and hanging it carefully in the closet. Then she turns to face her son's room, walking over to sit on the edge of his bed.

Her mind drifts back to the day he was born, to the moments when she had first held him in her arms, promising to raise him into a man who would make her proud. And as she waits for him to return, she can't help but wonder if this arrangement is really what's best for both of them. But deep down, she knows that it's too late now; they are bound together by the promises they made and the bargains they struck.

A sudden rustling from behind her makes Li Mei jump to her feet, heart pounding. "Logan?" Her voice comes out shaky and breathless, as if she hadn't expected him back so soon. But as she turns around, she sees it's only the movement of a curtain in the draft from an open window.

It's only her imagination. Again.

Li Mei rubs her temples, feeling the tension in her shoulders ease slightly as she forces herself to calm down. She knows that she mustn't show any sign of weakness; it only encourages him to push further. So instead, she takes a deep breath and fixes her expression into one of steely determination.

When Logan finally emerges from his room a few moments later, clad in nothing but a slightly damp pair of boxers, she raises an eyebrow, studying him carefully for any sign of shame or embarrassment. But his face is impassive as ever, betraying no emotion. It's almost as if he doesn't understand the power dynamic between them, or worse yet, that he doesn't care.

Without another word, she steps forward and cups his face in her hands, forcing him to meet her gaze. "Do you understand what this means?" Her voice is low and intense, each syllable carefully enunciated as if she were speaking to a child who didn't quite grasp the gravity of the situation.

Logan tilts his head slightly, seemingly confused by the question. Li Mei sighs heavily, wondering how much longer it will take for him to grasp the concept of consent and obligation. But then again, maybe it doesn't matter; as long as he keeps delivering results, she can keep their arrangement going... for now.

Her expression softens slightly, almost pitying. "Logan... don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what this is about." She gestures between them, her fingers tracing the line of his jaw before dropping to rest on his chest. "Every time we do this, it's a reminder for both of us. A reminder that our deal... our agreement... remains in place." Her gaze flickers downward again, before returning to meet his eyes. "As long as you keep making me proud, I will uphold my end of the bargain."

Her words hang in the air between them for a moment, heavy with meaning and unspoken expectations. It's clear that for Li Mei, there is no grey area here; either Logan delivers or he doesn't. And as much as it pains her to admit it, she knows deep down that this is the only way to keep him focused on his goals.

Logan simply nods in response, his face still an unreadable mask. Li Mei wants so desperately for him to understand, to see the complexity of their situation and the sacrifices they both make. But she knows better than to expect such insight from a boy who has never known anything but this life, ruled by her strict hand.

With a final sigh, she releases his face and takes a step back, straightening her jacket with precise, military precision. "Well then," she says briskly, her voice already returning to the no-nonsense tone he's come to expect from her. "You should get some rest tonight. Tomorrow will be another busy day." And without further ado, Li Mei turns and marches out of the room, leaving Logan standing there once more in nothing but his boxers, a strange mix of relief and

Li Mei pauses at the doorway to Logan's room, her expression inscrutable. "Of course I haven't forgotten," she says coolly. "You just need to work on your consistency. One blowjob is not enough to keep you motivated for long." She hesitates before adding, "Besides, it's been several days since our last... encounter. You should have brought me something more substantial."

With that final reminder, she turns and continues down the hallway towards her own bedroom, leaving Logan staring after her in confusion and increasingly frustration. He knew better than to question his mother's decisions; yet a small part of him can't help but wonder what else he could do to earn her approval.

As Li Mei slips into bed, she sighs heavily, already starting to drift off to sleep. She knows that this arrangement is far from ideal, for both of them. But for now, it's the only way to keep Logan focused on his studies and ensure that he reaches the heights she knows he can achieve. With a final thought given to her son's wellbeing and future success, Li Mei allows herself to succumb to slumber, unaware of how tightly her expectations are wound around them both.

Li Mei pauses in the doorway, her expression briefly softening as she remembers their agreement. "Ah, yes," she says nonchalantly, as if granting a small favor to her son rather than upholding the terms of a bargain. "Since you did such a good job today, I think that reward is well-earned." She strides back over to Logan, fixing him with a stern gaze before reaching out and hooking his chin with one finger, forcing his head up to meet hers.

Her lips press against his in a quick but brutal kiss, her teeth nipping at the sensitive skin of his lower lip. When she pulls away, there's a gleam in her eye that might almost be gratitude... or satisfaction. "There," she says gruffly. "Now go to bed."

With one final look, Li Mei turns and leaves the room, shutting the door behind her with a decisive click. The sound echoes through Logan's head as he lies there in his bed, still slightly dazed from the kiss. He can feel the warmth of it spreading down his chest and stomach, pooling in his groin.

This was different than before... more intense somehow. It made him wonder what else Li Mei was capable of when she let herself care just a little bit less...
