A/N: I checked I still don't have Erik (or anybody else under my bed) how sad. :( Well this chapter is... the worst of all XD That's why I never wanted to upload this fanfic. But I've already begun so deal with me :)

Summer's Heart

Chapter 6

Christine's legs were closed around Erik's waist as he brought her upstairs. His vest, and jacked were long forgotten, and Christine's pins were all around the hall as he got them out. Now her brown curls were covering them like a blanket.

Erik was thankful he gave the servants a day off. Nobody was around to bother them. Except Nadir… But he must have been asleep so he didn't bother; it was his house, after all.

He kicked in the door of his bedroom than closed it with his leg. Releasing Christine seemed a doomed idea in the first place. He kept his hand on her hips as he carried her to the bed and laid her down.

"Wait a second!" she cried our suddenly. Her hand on his chest was the bigger reason why he stopped. "Should we be doing this?"

"I don't know. But I would find out gladly."

"Erik!" she laughed as he lowered his head to nip at her neck. "Erik, I'm being serious!"

"So am I! Can't you see how seriously I take the foreplay?"

Christine exhaled shortly and looked at him. The man took the opportunity to tug a bundle of hair behind her ear.

"I don't know if we should be doing this" he answered quietly. "But I know we want to do this, don't we?"

"Yes… I know we do but… what if we shouldn't?"

"Back to the old talk?" he rolled his eyes. "Angel, it doesn't matter what the others want. Only what we want. I know what I want, and right now I have it. You are with me. If you don't want to do this, it's fine with me. But don't let your parents, the rules or anything stop you."

She looked away from him. It was a hard question. And she didn't know which was the good answer. Her mind said no, but her heart screamed for yes. She chose the lesser evil.

At sunrise the light rays found two people in a loving embrace as they slept peacefully. Erik sifted slightly as the light hit his eyes and pulled the other body closer. Christine smiled softly.

"Good morning, little one" he whispered in her ear.

"I don't want to get up. Let's stay here, like this."

Erik only nodded. Neither of the opened their eyes. Only when his arms came to close around her chest did while she yawned.

"Are you tired?" Erik asked playfully.

"Someone didn't let me sleep."

"Tell me his name; I swear he won't get away with this."

Christine turned in his embrace and looked up at him. He didn't wear his mask.

"Why do we end up in a bed when we say goodbye or hello?" she asked.

"Because we just love to greet each other. But I'm planning on making a better schedule. We can make love in the morning, around ten o'clock… then before lunch. At four o'clock we should too, that'd the tensest hour of the day, then of course before dinner and before we go to sleep. Oh, and feel free to wake me anytime at night."

The girl laughed as he spoke and her hand softly scratched his back. She knew she had to be careful around the wounds which covered his body.

"You are dumb."

"You know I can be anything for you" he smiled and kissed her. "Let's stay in bed for the rest of the… year."

"I have nothing against this plan. But what if you kick down the covers?"

"Like this?"

He kicked down the covers and they were both exposed before each other. Christine let out a squeal and tried to put her arms around herself. The man stopped her.

"I've seen you" he said. "Not only saw but did much more. You really think if you cover yourself up I won't be able to imagine you?"

"It's just…"

"The two of us" he pulled her closer. "Nobody else."

"You locked the door?"

"This is my house. Nobody enters without my permission. Don't worry so much."

Christine nodded and Erik turned her so her back was pressed against his front. His head rested in the crock of her neck and his arms were enclosed around her body. The girl sighed.

It was so warm, just to lie there together. She could imagine nothing more.

"Hey" she said softly.

"Hm?"

"I love you."

She felt Erik smile against the soft skin of her neck. He felt happiness he hasn't for three years.

"I love you too. I've never stopped loving you."

"I know."

"Good then."

She nodded and closed her eyes. Soon Erik's hands became bolder and he was caressing her body again. Just when she was about to voice her enjoyment a knock interrupted them.

"Thanks, we don't need any company, Daroga!" Erik shouted out without stopping.

"No you don't, but you still have a fuming father down, a slightly disturbed mother and a shouting fiancé."

"What?!" Christine sat up. She heard Erik's groan.

"Tell them we will be down I a minute."

The girl got out and began to look for her clothes. They were all around. The closest were her panties, thrown on the chair by Erik's desk. She ran and got them on. One of her stockings ended up on the wardrobe.

"Erik get up and get that down for me!" she turned back. He was still on the bed, his eyes covered by his arm.

"Can you give me a second? Seeing you naked is not the best way to get me cooled down" he murmured.

"Not that you can't imagine me anytime."

"Fine, nice shoot" he grinned as he sat up. "Now where were we?"

"Get my stocking down" she pointed. "And where did you threw the other?"

"I have a robe for you. The half of your clothing is down."

She closed her eyes for a second. She looked deathly pale as the realization came.

"Please tell me somebody was around to get our clothes…"

"The servants had a day off."

She moaned as Erik handled her robe before he put on one too.

"We go down, get out clothes and we will be back in a minute."

"It's so embarrassing…" she whispered her cheeks bright red.

"You are embarrassed because of loving me?"

"No! I'm embarrassed because we were caught by my parents… uhm again. And my fiancé! Erik I'm engaged to another!"

"Not for long" he growled. "Take my hand, and don't let it go."

She nodded nervously as Erik put his mask on and led her out of the room. The way seemed longer now, but they still managed to get to the end of the stairs and Erik kissed her one last time.

"I'm here with you. Nothing bad will happen. I promise."

The girl nodded and they entered the room.
