Fixate on the frailty

Please Forgive Me For Wondering

If my love ever truly engraved in your heart

Raven is taken out of her thoughts as Chris pulls her to her feet. She feels eyes on her as she looks at him fearfully.
"Chris?" She asks him in a whisper.
"Trust me, Raven, you trust me, don't you?" He replies.
She hesitates, unsure if she really trusts him anymore. Chris watches her as she sorts everything out in her head. He's an asshole for doing this to her, he knows, but he needs her to really trust him and Sophie and Endymion will be here if it gets too much for her to handle.
Finally, she nods and allows Chris to lead her up to the stage. Will gives them a nod before handing Raven a sheer bra and pantie set that will still cover enough.
"You can get changed in the back, there," he tells her, pointing to a sectioned-off corner of the stage.
She nods and Chris turns to the audience, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, while Raven is getting ready, let me tell you what's going to happen tonight. I'm going to teach a lesson on trust, Raven has had a hard life and as many of you know, trust is an important part of the relationship. I know Raven trusts me, but this will benefit her. So, if my lovely Raven is ready?"
Rae takes a deep breath before stepping out to join Chris, kneeling next to him. His long fingers comb through her hair before her vision is blocked by a blindfold.
"Raven, what us your safeword?" Chris asks her in a clear voice.
"Red, sir," she replies.
"Lean forward, hands in front of you," he says.
She stretches herself forward and shivers slightly as she feels the thin strips of leather caress her back before they meet her skin with a sting and she grunts. She has a minute to recover before she gets another blow. She keeps count as Chris brings the whip down on her back. He stops before he breaks skin and taps her head, signalling her to stand up.
He guides her over to the wooden X and brings her hands up before attaching them and slipping his hands under the waistband of her panties before smirking. Taking the whip in his hands, he runs it gently over her skin, making her shiver.
"Ask me for more," he commands.
Raven bites her lip and looks out in where the audience would be before turning her head to where she thinks Chris is standing.
"Ask me for more, pet," he repeats.
"C-can I please have more, m-master?" She asks him, surprised at how shaky her voice is.
Chris smiles and raises his arm again, it hurts, but in a good way and Raven could tell he was holding back. She closes her eyes and groans, becoming lost in the feeling and in her own world of pleasure and pain. Nothing mattered anymore except what Chris was giving her. But, it stopped too soon for her liking. She opened her eyes as he removed the blindfold to see Chris unshackling her.
"Thank you for your time," Chris addresses the audience before carrying Raven into a room designed to heal wounds.
"Are you okay, love?" He asks her as he sets her down on the examining table on her stomach.
"I'm fine, a little surprised, but fine." She looked at Chris, "Can I ask you something?"
He was smirking, "It was simply a test, I know I should've asked you but when Will called and asked me if I wanted to participate, I knew I could use it to our advantage. You need to heal, Raven, and honestly, this probably felt like a big step, but I knew you could do it."
"And what if you were wrong, Chris?" She asks, "What if I panicked while I was up there? Then what would you have done?"
Chris stilled his movements, staring at the broken girl in front of him. She had a point, he didn't think it through and could've damaged her more. Chris starts to tend to her wounds, but she stops him.
"I want Endmyion and Sophie."
He nods and leaves the room, finding the two sitting outside. They look up as Chris walks out and he motions for them to go inside before sinking to the ground with his head in his hands. He's fucked up, he fucked up big time and he's no better then Andrew.

"Raven?" Sophie asks her, walking into the room, her heart breaks when she sees her curled up on the cot crying.
"Why would he do this to me?"
Sophie shushes her and holds the fragile girl tightly in her arms while End treats her bruises.
"He wasn't thinking."
"No," End growls, "He wasn't, I'm sorry, Raven, I had no idea he was going to do this. I would've told him to consult you."
"He hurt me! Not physically, but..." She struggles to find the words and trails off with a choked sob.
"I know, sweetheart, I know. The pain isn't from the sting of the whip, but from the sting of his actions," End said as he helped her put his jacket on. He looks at Sophie, "Wait here for a second."
He leaves the room and pulls Chris up by the collar of his shirt, pinning him to the wall, "I'm taking Raven home, you will not contact her unless she contacts you first. Do you understand?"
Chris nods, "Yes, I understand."
