Under The Spell Of A Phantom 2
Here Is Chapter One, Enjoy!
One: Bliss
To wake in her husband's arms was enough to break out a beaming smile across Ruby's face.
The way he slept was so peaceful that it nearly made her fall back in a deep slumber herself.
But it was the last day of their honeymoon before returning back to Paris, something they didn't want to do.
They had fallen in love with Rome with it's beautiful history, the stunning sunsets and the people were a lot kinder than in France.
It shocked Erik to the core whenever women that went by just accepted his mask and didn't stare at him.
There were a few emotional nights where he broke down in Ruby's embrace, his sobs affected her so they cried together.
Slowly removing herself from him, Ruby quietly threw off the sheets and grabbed her nightgown that laid at a chair.
Putting it on, she looked out of the window to see such a glorious day outside with bright sunshine and clear skies.
Breathing out a blissful sigh, it was loud enough to stir Erik from his sleep. "Morning Ruby." His croaky voice made her spin around in shock.
"Gosh darling, you scared me!" She gasped, placing her hand at where her heart was racing like mad. A soft chuckle escaped from his lips.
"Come back to bed," He offered in a seductive voice that sent desireable shivers up and down her spine, it was ever so tempting.
"Mmm but it's a beautiful day outside, we could go for a walk along the beach?" She suggested, trying to avoid his gaze on her.
"I know you want me." Ruby turned back to look at him, those dangerous eyes were filled with such passion and want that it would be wrong to say no.
So she slowly took off her nightgown, entered back in the bed and let her husband take her body again and again giving her such pleasure it was sinful.
My God, she is so beautiful in clothes or naked!
She never fails to take my breath away whenever she looks at me.
My tempting offers is never turned down, to see her giving in is pure rapture.
Now as I watch her combing her hair, I creep up behind her but it's too late.
Her eyes look at the mirror to see my reflection there, a wide smile is across her face.
"Come on here then." She says with a chuckle. I grin as I get closer and wrap my arms across her.
"Mmm, you smell good." I mutter while I bury my face against her neck, hearing her groan gives me shivers.
"Erik..." She moans, her hands reach for my head as her fingers dig in my scalp with a slightly tight grip.
"Yes my darling?" I ask, kissing that senstive part of her ear that makes her moan even louder.
"Oh please, don't stop." She replies with a whimper. I chuckle to myself, then I pull away from her.
Ruby looks at me, a massive frown is across her face. "Such a tease." She cries, tears are prickling in her eyes.
I laugh and turn around, igorning her struggling to stop her sobs but she failed terribly. Cruelity was a fine art to me.
Once Ruby calmed herself, we were ready to take our walk across the beach though she didn't say a single word at all.
Not even a look at me, maybe I shouldn't have behaved like that. Perhaps I could make it up for her? I wonder what she would like?
Ruby couldn't hide her disappointment and anger at Erik, he drove her to that brink and then stopped it all leaving her very upset.
Then again, what did she expect? He was known to be cruel in his past, especially what he did to Christine and Raoul Da Changy.
But as a husband and a proper lover? It didn't make sense to her at all. Even this pleasent walk together was unbearable to her.
She wouldn't dare to look or talk to Erik, the anger fueling her was tipping to a near overflow though she was behaving like a spoilt child not getting what she wants.
Suddenly he stopped walking and turned her around, his beautiful grey green eyes magically became blue. "Wait here, don't make a move." He demanded.
Ruby frowned as she watched him dash away, how she hated being told what to do! She folded her arms, her eyes darting all around her surroundings.
Then the faint sounds of music began to appear out of nowhere, the strong pangs of a volin and the gentle playing of a guitar was filling the air.
She turned to look at two Italian gentlemen dressed in their finest, coming straight towards her with big smiles across their quite handsome faces.
A gasp escaped from her lips as Erik came, his soulful tenor voice singing a enchanting song in a different lanaguge that sounded awfully like French.
He slowly walked towards her, his eyes never leaving her not once. Other people that were on the beach stopped and looked at this romantic moment.
Erik gathered her hands into his own, he now sang in pure English and my God it was so breath-taking! Every note hit perfectly to the melody.
Ruby felt her heart melting, all the anger and disappointment she had before had disappeared replaced by love and affection for her talented husband.
As he reached the end, he held the final word for thirty seconds until it faded away like a gentle breeze on a summer's day. Ruby wrapped her arms across his neck and kissed him.
Claps and cheers came around them that they broke away from their embrace to see them, Erik gave out plenty of thank yous for the audience while she held onto him tightly.
She looked up at him and whispered "Thank you". He simply nodded his head and captured her lips with his own once more, his fingers played at that senstive area but she pushed him away.
"Oh no, you are NOT disappoining me again." She said as the crowd and the musicans walked away leaving them alone on the beach. "I'm sorry, my love about that eariler." He said.
"I know you are, there was no need for a aplogey. What you did for me was enough and for that, I love you all the more." Ruby said, with a sigh. Erik hugged her in a sweet embrace.
They watched the sea pull in and out in silence for twenty minutes until they decided it was time to head back to the hotel and starting packing for their long trip back home.
