OMG Brendon ends up captured too XD Lmao. Excellent. Awesome.
Okay, I'm going to flip around the order of this comment and cutpaste my conclusions up to the start then all the questions behind them, 'cause it came out long and rambling and exceeded comment length again XD
The answer I see as most logical/workable to he's treated decently at this place, but he still has to be enslaved somehow would be he's treated well now because he doesn't fight anymore, but he's enslaved by the knowledge that if he did try to fight, he would be reminded why he submitted in the first place, and the place's security is too good for him to ever escape.
Don't think first about the timeframe when Brendon shows up - think about the timeframe when Ryan is first brought to Paris.
What does Ryan do/say the first time he's told 'hey innocent kid who's never had sex, you're going to work as an expensive piece of ass in this brothel and you're not going to argue'? He has to fight, and he has to be forced to submit (or you have Ryan willingly becoming a prostitute, which kills your romantic storyline :P). By the time Brendon comes along he can be treated however well you like, especially if he's sort of meant to be expensive and high class and whatever, but there has to be this dark presence in the background. The fact that it's forced is important.
You need to know exactly what he's being made to do, and how he's been made to do it. I think it could be hard to pull the place off without some past element of violence or the threat of it. You don't have to have Ryan being beaten up all the time or anything, but I think it will make a lot more sense if there was violence at some point early on.
