Fixate on the frailty

Precision with incision is a tedious remark.

With all the visions of submission of the fibers in your heart

Raven POV
Endymion pulls up to the mansion-type house, people are milling about, I see some Dominants with some Subs, but it's mostly Dom's on their own. Sophie helps me out of the car because we all know that I can't get out of a car in heels without hurting myself. She smiles encouragingly at me.
"You'll be okay. You can stop it at any time. Endymion and I will be around in case anything happens."
"You're also my ride home," I remind her.
She smiles and Endymion comes over to us, holding out his arm to me, I take it as Soph trails a few feet behind us, showing that she is not here as his guest, but as his Sub.
"Nervous?" He asks me.
"A bit," I reply.
"You'll be okay, Mathias is a really good person and he takes care of his Subs. This is just an introduction scene, really." We walk into the house and several Dom's smile and nod at him, he must be known around here. There are a few rooms off the foyer that had been converted into places where they can set up different scenes so people can watch or play. I nibble on my lip nervously as he takes me into one of the rooms where the stage is occupied by a woman and her Sub who is tied to a cross, while she whips her back. There is a table in the far corner, partially hidden by shadows and that's where Endymion escorts me.
He pulls out a chair for me and I sit, He sits next to me and Soph kneels at his feet. The man already sitting at the table smiles at Endymion, I assume he is Mathias.
"Endymion, how're you, my friend?" He asks.
Endymion nods his head in response, "Mathias. I'm doing well. This is my Sub's friend, as well as mine, Raven Boudreaux."
"Hello, Raven, how are you?"
I blush slightly and duck my head, "I'm doing well, Sir. How're you?"
I glance up to see him smile at me gently, "Raven, please, call me Mathias for now. Would you like a drink?"
I nod, "Yes, Si- I mean, Mathias."
Mathias looks around for a Sub that's working the party, a young man wearing a loin cloth and a plain leather collar comes over. This symbolises he is working the party and property of Mathias for the time being. "Get us some drinks, please."
The man nods and walks away before Mathias turns back to me. "Okay, Raven, this will just be an introduction scene, I just want to see your level of submission, we will be going into a private room for this and Endymion and his Sub will be close should anything happen and you need them. If it works out, we can meet later in the week to work things out, if not, then that's fine, you can still enjoy the party, okay?"
I nod, "Yes, Mathias."
The man comes back with some drinks and Endymion and Mathias start to talk while I drift, losing myself in my thoughts. Mathias seems really nice and I shouldn't write him off until we are in the playroom, looks can be deceiving. My drink is helping me relax, which is good. If I'm too tense, I won't be able to experience the pleasure and be able to access my inner Sub. Once the drinks are finished, Mathias and Endymion stands up and I follow them, standing next to Soph as we go upstairs. The stairs are absolutely gorgeous, the wide banister has ornate carvings and is covered in a rich, red carpet. At the top of the stairs, Soph kisses my cheek as her and Endymion go into a room while Mathias continues down the hallway a little way. He stops at the door and turns to me.
"When we enter this room, you will address me properly. I want you to kneel, legs slightly apart and your head down with your arms by your side, do you understand?"
"Yes, Sir," I reply.
He nods and opens the door, I walk in and stand in the middle of the room, dropping into position. I hear him walking around and I want to see what he's doing, but I know better. He stands in front of me and lifts up my chin, I keep my eyes down.
"Look at me," he commands gently. I look up at him and he smiles slightly, "Good girl. Now, I want you to take off your skirt and top, I want to see you."
I nod, "Yes, Sir." I stand up and slip my corset and skirt off, before unhooking my bra and slipping my panties off. I keep my head down as he circles me. He faintly traces the scars on my back making me shiver and curse myself silently. I was hoping he wouldn't notice.
"What caused these?" He asks me.
"A w-whip, S-sir," I reply, not really wanting to remember.
"Were you abused with a past Dom?" He asks me, facing me and pulling my chin up again.
I nod and bite my lip, "Yes, sir," I whisper.
"Yet, you crave pain?"
I nod, not trusting my voice anymore. He sighs and sits in the bed. "He wasn't giving you good pain, was he?"
I shake my head, starting to cry. He walks over to me and wipes my tears away. "I-I'd like to stop, please, sir."
"I think that would be best, Raven. You can get dressed. Remember your past doesn't define you, if you ever find someone, make sure they treat you like it's all new again, which they probably will. Open up to them, Raven."
I nod and get dressed as he talks. Once I'm dressed, he hands me a tissue and I dab at my eyes as we leave to find Soph and Endymion. They come out of the room they were in and Soph hugs me tightly as I break down. Mathias and Endymion are talking quietly as Soph rubs my back soothingly. They turn to us and Mathias nods at me. Endymion escorts us to the car and Sophie sits in the back with me, wrapping her arms around me. I rest my head on her shoulder and close my eyes, falling asleep.
