He slowly wakes up and is startled when he feels and arm around his waist. He turns around quickly throwing her off of him and she wakes up in fear. Mindbender quickly remembers she was there. Raven was shaking and gripping the covers tightly uncertain what to think.

"You startled me; he explains. I'm not use to sleeping with anyone."

Raven was gripping her wrist tightly in shock and pain. Mindbender moves over to her and takes her hand looking at her wrist. It wasn't broken, but it was swollen.

"It's not broken; he continues. You'll be fine. Now what would you like for breakfast?"

Raven looks at him as he gets out of bed and takes out a fresh set of clothes.

"Think about it while I take a shower; he suggests."

Raven goes downstairs and finds the menu marked breakfast and looks at it. She looks at the phone and walks over to it picking up the receiver and thinks of a number to dial, but she could only imagine of what might happen.

"Who is this; an angry voice questions?"
"It's me; Raven replies."
"Bitch where are you; the voice questions! Zach is pissed off. We want our money!"
"I'm hiding out in a hotel but there are police everywhere; Raven explains. I can't leave yet."
"You better figure it out; the voice snaps! What hotel are you at?!"
"Theee Fairmount; Raven studders."
"Bitch we'll blow that shitwhole up and get our fucking money; the angry voice naps!"

Raven's daydream ends and she quickly puts the receiver down and she brings the menu upstairs to the bedroom. She sits on the edge of the bed and looks through the menu. Mindbender had been in the shower for some time. Mindbender steps out of the steamy bathroom with the towel wrapped around him waist and he notices Raven sitting on the bed looking at the menu. He walks over to the bed and sits next to her.

The heat and steam coming off his body was almost strange and Raven moves away from him. She hands him the menu and he looks it over.

"So when can I leave; she asks. I'm afraid that Zach will find me."

"I won't let anyone hurt you; he assures with a smile. I would kill him if he touches you."

Raven looks at him in shock.

"What are you having; he asks. I'll have the English breakfast the espresso and the grammy cart."

Raven looks at the menu and looks at the amount of food he was ordering.

"That's enough food for four people; Raven comments. I just want toast and coffee."

Mindbender looks at the fit body of the young woman and remembered her eating habits last night. She ate a quarter of her dinner and drank a glass of water.

"You need to eat; Mindbender orders. You're not fat."

Raven looks down at the floor and Mindbender stands up takes her hand. She stands up and follows him as he walks her to the mirror. He yanks the over sized shirt off of her and she stands in shock looking in the mirror.

"I know a nice body when I see one; he explains as he places his hands on her waist. You are perfect."

Raven blushes from the comment and she looks at the size of his hands on her waist. She hadn't realized until now just how much talker and bigger he was. His body was muscular and he had various scars on his torso. She turns around and touches the large scar on his chest that was running down his side. It was the largest scar and most recent with it only being a few years old. He looks down at her as she traces the scar.

"What happened; she asks with concern?"

"It came with the job; he replies quickly. I don't want to talk about it."

He takes her hands and looks at her in the eyes.

"There are things better left unsaid; he continues. Leave it at that."

Raven looks down at the massive hands holding her and she blushes. He leans in and kisses her and she jumps back.

"What; he questions. You are too attractive for me to ignore. I would give you the world if you asked for it."

"I promised myself to Zach; Raven explains. I can't."

"That's fine; Mindbender replies. But does he love you? Would he do the things I'm willing to do for you?"

Raven looks up at him with a look of fear and uncertainty.

"I don't know; Raven replies."

"I care; Mindbender tells her. I'll prove it. After breakfast."

Raven takes a step back and he takes a step closer. He takes her hand and kisses it gently.

"Take a shower; Mindbender kindly orders. I'll order breakfast and when you get out we'll talk about how to get you out of here. If you want I'll get you back to your boyfriend."

Raven looks down as he let's her hand go and and he leaves the room the room still wrapped in his towel. She walks in to the bathroom and takes her panties and bar off and steps in the shower. She turns the water on and she relaxes as the hot water beats down on her body. She could feel the stress melting as she washed herself. She looks over to find a variety of soaps and shampoos. She smells each one until she finds a scent that she enjoyed. She washes her body and hair taking her time. She was so relaxed that she didn't hear him dress, or the door knock for room service.

Mindbender lightly knocks on the door and she looks at the door.

"Yes; she yells!"

"Breakfast; Mindbender replies."

Raven turns off the water and he walks downstairs and sits at the table waiting for her. Raven walks out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and opens the front pocket of the suitcase and she takes out a change of clothes and panties. She dresses and walks downstairs in a looses shiny top and a pair of black leggings that were slashed up. Her hair was down and wet, but the waves were still there. He picks up his espresso and smiles as she sits across from him.

"I ordered you breakfast; Mindbender says with a smile. You should eat it all. It's not a lot either."

Raven lifts the dome that covered her plate and she looks at the soft boiled eggs, bacon toast, and fruit on her plate and a plate with yogurt, peaches and granola. A small dish of cottage cheese, a small bowl of almonds, and a small bowl of jam.

"I can't eat all of this; Raven informs. I don't eat this much in a day."

Mindbender smiles as he takes a sip of his espresso.

"Try; Mindbender encourages. Starving yourself won't help you stay thin."

Raven looks at the breakfast and sighs a loud sigh and she begins to eat. It took some time for her to finish the bacon and toast. She struggled to eat the eggs, and she couldn't finish the yogurt or fruit. Feeling sick she moves away from the table. She looks up and Mindbender who was almost finished with everything he ordered. Mindbender sips his coffee and looks at his watch.

"Housekeeping needs to come by soon; Mindbender explains. You can stay in the the sun room with the door locked. It usually is so they won't bother you. I'll put your things in the secret room."

Raven sips her coffee and leans her head back to try and not vomit from eating to much. Mindbender gets up and walks upstairs to pick up her things but they were already folded and put in the tiny room so he shuts the door. Looking around he found she even picked up his shirt and his clothing that he left in the bathroom. He walks downstairs and finds her sleeping on the couch. He picks her up and puts her in the sun room and covers her with a blanket that was on the couch carefully. He closes the door behind and walks over to the table to put all the dishes in a neat stack and leaves.

He walks downstairs to the main floor and walks around the small shopping center that was connected to the hotel. He stops in a jewelry shop and looks around finding a set of diamond earrings and a diamond necklace that had a matching bracelet. He takes no time making the purchase and having it wrapped. Exiting the shop he stops at a clothing store and buys a suit and Raven a dress and shoes. He leaves with the items and makes his way to the lingerie store and he buys Raven a set of black lingerie and leaves the shop.

He stops at a workout store and makes a few purchases for himself and Raven and leaves to return upstairs to his suite. The house keeping was still there but he didn't mind. he walks upstairs and puts the items in his closet. He walks downstairs and sits on the couch and turns on the TV to drown out the sound of the ladies cleaning. Raven was still sleeping in the room when they finally leave.

He takes out his phone and calls Zarana to have her come by and change Raven's hair color. The police were finally gone and Raven could leave. But he wanted to keep her. He knew she would be good for him in so many ways, but it would take time for him to explain everything to her.

Raven could hear Mindbender's voice and she sits up and pushes the blanket off of her. She folds the blanket up and leaves it on the couch. She stands up and walks over to the door and unlocks it letting herself out of the room. He smiles and hangs up the phone.

"I have a friend coming over that will change your hair color and style; he explains. It may buy you some freedom since you want to get back to your Zach."

Raven sits next to him and looks at him with a slight smile.

"I'm truthfully afraid of him; she admits. I never know when he'll lose his cool with me because I wouldn't sleep with him, or I didn't have money for him to buy cigarettes, or beer. I think I'm ready to move on. He doesn't know where I'm at so it would be easy for me to start a new life."

Mindbender smiles and puts his arm around pulling her into his arm.

"I'm so pleased to hear that; he joyfully replies. Have dinner with me tonight, and not in the hotel."

Raven nods her head and gives her a rough squeeze for a moment and le et's up.

"Come upstairs; I want to show you something; he kindly orders."

Mindbender gets up and Raven follows him to the bedroom. He opens the closet and raven sees a dress and shoes. She looks at him with and uncertain looks as she approaches the clothing. She touches the dress and the fabric was so luxuriously feeling. She removes the dress from the closet and holds it to her body and looks in the mirror. She caresses the fabric once again and Mindbender smiles.

"Do you like it; he questions. If not we can take it back."

"No; Raven replies. Its perfect."

She hangs up the dress and stands on he toes to kiss his cheek but he purposely kisses moves his head and their lips touch. She pulls away quickly and her face with flushed.

"I know, I mean I'm sorry. Raven mumbles. I shouldn't have."

"I'm not; Mindbender replies."

Raven looks up at him with an innocent looks.

"I I want to kiss you again; she stutters."

He leans in and kisses her deeply. Raven could feel her heart pounding and her vagina getting wet. There was something about him that almost hypnotized her, and left her wanting more. She feels his arms wrap around her and he lifts her up walking her over to the bed. Gently he lays her down and he begins to kiss her neck and stops at her clavicle looking at the shape and he pulls her shirt away exposing the flesh.

"What happened; Mindbender queations."

Raven pulls the shirt over the flaw embarrassed and sits up quickly moving away.

"I fell: she answers. Please don't ask again."

He felt sorry for her she was damaged he knew it, but he was a doctor and he could repair damaged things. He slides over and takes her into his arms holding her tightly.

"Just like myself; when you're ready to talk you will; he whispers. I will not ask you about any flaws that i find."

They sit in silence, she could feel the warmth of his embrace. For the first time they both felt safe and secure. She could feel the confusion and fear melting away as she relaxed into his warm embrace. She pulls away and turns around looking him in the eyes. His hazel eyes meet her cold gray eyes and he leans in to kiss her once more. She draws back once she hears a knock at the door.

"That would be your hair stylist; he explains."

He leaves the room quickly and answer the door letting Zarana in and she walks upstairs finding Raven sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Right than; Zarana begins as she shuts the door leaving Mindbender on the other side. This won't take long."

Mindbender walks downstairs waiting for Zarana to leave. He nods off with the TV on and until he feels the couch shake.

"Pay-up; Zarana demands."

Mindbender reaches into his wallet and pulls out a thousand dollars and hands it to her. She snatches it and leaves qyickly. He walks upstairs and finds Raven fixing her makeup and and her honey colored hair with dark brown highlights and platinum lowlights. She was wearing the new dress and heels. He swallows hard and grabs the jewelry that was giftwrap and he walks over to her and hands her the gift. She looks at the gift and touches touches his face smiling an innocent smile.

"Open it; he demands."

Raven smiles smiles and pulls the ribbon off the box and opens the lid. She opens the box and her eyes light up with the sight of the diamonds.

"Do you like them; he softly questions?"

Raven nods her head and he helps her put on the necklace and bracelet. Raven puts in the earrings and they leave the room but Raven returns and opens the closet and she pulls a small black purse from the suitcase and she puts her lip gloss in it and leaves with Mindbender for a night on the town.
