CH: 9

"Why does he do this to us Toris…" Ravis looked close to tears

"We all signed a contract… I wish we never had but we sold our souls for protection…" as they left Toris grabbed Euard's arm. "Keep Ravis safe…" Euard nodded and left his brother going back up to the well lit kitchen. Ravis was humming quietly mood picked up after seeing Toris. Euard chucked and ruffled the youngest's hair.

"I'll be dusting in the foyer… take the back of the house?"

"Sure." A small sad smile graced Ravis' lips "Will Toris be ok?"

"Yes… if Ivan doesn't beat him anymore… We need to keep him happy."

"That can't be hard… can it?"

"It might be… We'll cook his favorite tonight. We have all the ingredients right?"

"I think so Euard… I'll double check."

"You can go get started on it… I'll take care of cleaninig. It wont take long anyway." Both brothers parted with smiles. Ravis continued his humming remembering a sweet song Toris used to sing as he fell asleep. Euard disappeared from sight and Ravis cooked for the remainder of the afternoon. Hours later Euard came back into the kitchen and sat down at the table looking exhausted. "Having fun?"

"Yeah… it's kinda' nice here when Ivan's not tormenting us…" Euard nodded in agreement.

"Reminds me of when we lived by ourselves…and with Felix…"

"I miss Felix"

"Remember the time he-" Euard's voice was cut off by a car door slamming. The noise made them both jump as Euard dragged his body up and started setting the table.

"T-thank you Euard…" the front door slammed and then the office door upstairs was slammed as well. Both exchanged a worried look. "S-should we ask Toris i-if he wants dinner?"

"I... I don't know" Water could be heard going through the pipes. "Well go together… but first we'll make sure everything is ready for dinner. They headed downstairs quietly, the silence broken by Toris' coughing.

"We we brought you dinner…" Ravis held the plate as Euard helped Toris sit up.

"Is Ivan home?" He coughed again and groaned in pain.

"Yes…"

"Serve…" Toris took a shuddering breath "Serve him first…if he eat-" The soft words were silenced by footfalls coming down the main stairs.

"We have dinner on the table…"

"But we better go…" Ravis sat the food down for Toris and started up the stairs. They closed the cellar door just as Ivan entered the room.

"Good evening sir… How was your trip?" Euard stepped forward moving Ravis behind him. Ivan ignored the question and inquired what was cooking.

"Y-your favorite…" Ravis started serving everyone and sat down to eat as far away from Ivan as possible.

"How is Toris?"

"Hell be fine to travel on Thursday sir…"

Ravis… Did you slave over this all day?"

"Y-Y-Yes… I helped c-clean to…"

"Thank you my little Latvia. But what inspired such a thing?"

"T-T-Toriss…" Ravis was staring very intently at the table as he spoke. "He's going away and y-y-you-u were un-unhappy."

A small smile peaked through Ivan's dark emotionless mask. "Thank you Ravis. Did you feed Toris?" Euard looked cautiously at his master.

"Yes sir… just before we started eating."

"Good." He finished eating quietly before standing. "I'll be in my room."

"Yes sir… we'll clean up" Ivan grabbed a bottle of vodka as he left. Both waited to talk until they heard the footsteps go up the stairs. Euard's eyes followed the path Ivan had walked wondered what he's up to. "I'm going to make sure Toris ate… I'll be right back." Ravis nodded and started doing dishes drawing it out and becoming absorbed in the work. A scream shattered the air, followed by the dull thud of something tearing into flesh before silence.

"E-Euard?" Ravis' eyes were wide with fear. The only thing that followed was another scream. "Euard!" boots clunked back up the stairs and Ravis reached for the cleaver. "Toris?" When Ravis turned around Ivan was standing there his pipe dripping blood to the floor and dark violet eyes shining. In utter panic Latvia dropped the cleaver; his only protection. "R-R-R-Russia…" He backed up right into the corner.

"Ohh Latvia…" The tone in his voice was sweet. "I found your brothers plotting to run." Smiling he bent down and picked up the cleaver taking slow steps closer.

"W-W-why-y do you h-hurt us?"

"I don't hurt you; I love you."

"Then why…" Tears of fear and sorrow streak down the Latvian's face. Putting the cleaver down Ivan picked up the smallest Baltic and sat down with him in his lap.

"Why what?" Ivan asked, kissing Ravis softly. The boy pushed at him trying to get away.

"Wh-Why do you hurt us?" Ivan's grip tightened being rough without meaning to.

"Shhh… You know I don't hurt you." Ravis whimpered his Russian master's grip bruising his arms and shoulders. He closed his eyes tightly shaking as Ivan kissed him. "My little Latvia…" He kissed his servant sweetly only to have him turn his head away at the touch. "Please Ravis… don't turn from me." He went on to kissing each bruise as the boys body grew stiff expecting pain. Slowly Ravis opened his eyes curious about what Ivan was doing. All he saw was Ivan smiling sadly at him. The elder's hand rose to stroke his cheek causing Ravis to flinch instinctively. "You flinch from my touch Ravis…" He continued the movement and stroked Latvia's cheek causing him to flinch again. "You see? Even when I try to be gentle." Ravis was as still as a statue too scared to move as Ivan stood and started down the stairs to the cellar.

"Do you love me?" His hand wandered lower palming Ravis slowly causing him to gasp. "You like that da~? The Latvian's breath came a little faster but still shaky.

"W-why..."

"Why what?" he kissed Ravis cutting off the answer and laid him on the cot. Looking at his servant he smiled knowing just out of reach of the light was Toris and Euard chained and gaged.

"W-wh-Why are you b-b-being so nice?"

"I don't like hurting you Ravis…" He took his jacket off folding it and placing on a table then he started on his Latvian's clothes. First the jacket, even with Ravis violently shaking. The boy mewled softly as hands caressed his skin moving slowly down his chest. The boy unhappily let his master's hands roam and bore each kiss silently. Only when Ivan took a nipple into his mouth nipping and pulling at it did the boy make any more noise. The teasing continued causing the boy to moan, shocked at his own reaction he turned his head away. "You don't have to be embarrassed my Ravis…" He removed his Latvian's pants while Ravis was distracted. Once the pants were removed the shaking began again. Ivan kissed downward cooing, "relax Ravis… I won't hurt you…" He kissed the very tip of Ravis' member and stroked the sides causing him to gasp, eyes widening. He begins to lick slowly from base to tip enjoying the shock plain on Latvia's face. Ravis moaned and whined as Ivan continued. Whispering against the shaft, lips ghosting over the skin; "Does this feel good?" He went back to sucking the tip as Ravis once again moaned.

Euard shook rage filling every part of his body and tried in vain to break the chains. The moans grew louder as Ivan took him further into his mouth and began to bob his head. Ravis moaned and his hips had to be pinned down to keep him from thrusting, however he cried confused about how he was reacting to what Ivan was doing to him. Ivan sucked harder, causing white to encroach on the Latvian's vision. Toris regained consciousness just as Ravis was cumming with a low sob and his breathing quick and heavily. Ravis just laid there panting eyes wide as Ivan slowly kissed back up again. He slowly began to trace Ravis' lips with two fingers.

"If you would."

"Wha-" Ivan smirked and forced the fingers into Latvia's mouth as he spoke forcing him to suck. Catching on Ravis tried to make them as slick as possible hoping the pain would be less. Just as fast as they went in the fingers were removed and positioning themselves slowly. One finger pushed in causing Ravis to gasp and clench his eyes shut squirming away.

"Relax Ravis…" He eased in a second finger scissoring and stretching him. Ravis cried out struggling away more as nails scratched him. Growling something to himself, Ivan removed the fingers and went to a cabinet. "Stay there Ravis." His voice was edging on fury as he grabbed a bottle of vodka and slicked his fingers with the liquid before pressing them back in. He continued to stretch and scissor him. Whenever Ravis moaned or cried out Ivan poured some of the vodka down the boy's throat. Soon he was groaning softly and a faint blush was on his cheeks. Smirking and adding a third finger Ivan asked, "Better da?" The only response was a gasp as the blush continued to grow.

Ivan went to sucking at his nipples again and removed the fingers, positioning himself and easing in. Ravis cried out feeling some pain but Ivan rocked his hips letting the Latvian grow accustomed to his size. "Do you want more my little Ravis?" He moved a little deeper, slowly thrusting into the boy who was groaning and closing his eyes. Ivan moved a little faster watching his servant's reactions. Ravis' body jerked but slowly the boy gave into the alcohol and let Ivan do as he pleased. Moving faster and holding Ravis' body in an arced position he took a sip of vodka and kissed Ravis giving him yet another drink. He nipped at Latvia's neck. "Ravis… moan my name for me." He was panting now and started to massage Ravis' member again, thrusting deep.

"Aaaaahhhhh R-Russssiaaa…" He gripped his master's hair, moaning loudly.

"Ivan, Ravis… use my name." He kissed Latvia once more and thrusts deep, hitting the prostrate.

"AHh! Hnnnn I-Ivannn" Ivan slowly grew full and moved faster needing release. As much as his body liked it, Ravis' head began to clear. 'This…this is wrong' he began to think to himself, yet he continued to moan as his sweet spot was pounded into. Ivan kissed his toy and moaned, cumming deep. Laying there panting, Ivan withdrew and pulled him close.

"Mmmmmhh Ravis." He nipped at the boy's ear. "Your brothers were watching…" He blinked slowly trying to wrap his mind around the thought of his brothers witnessing this. With a final kiss the Russian dressed and unchained the other Baltics.
