Dear Reader,
I know, it has been quite awhile, but I've been busy with college and such. Enjoy Chapter 7.

Chapter 7: Don't Leave Me This Way
The kiss ended as suddenly as it began, and Erik was the first to speak,
"You sing so beautifully, Inara, whoever told you that you could not is a complete idiot."
"Oh, Erik," Inara said breathlessly.
He still held her in his arms, and her body ached for him more then ever. Inara blushed, she was ashamed with herself, but she was one step closer to making Erik love her. She pressed against him and Erik sighed, the passion of the music still coursing through his body. He caught her lips in another kiss, this one deeper and rougher, their bodies pressed closer together, the kiss leaving them both breathless. Erik trailed light kisses from her lips down to her neck, eliciting a soft moan from Inara as he softly bit the side of her neck. Just then there was a crack of thunder and a flash of lightning as rain came pounding at the windows, they both jumped, startled by the sudden noise. Erik watched the rain pouring down, and slowly came to his senses. His gaze settled on Inara, a look of deep sorrow in his eyes, and then he abruptly turned and fled the room.
"Erik!" Inara rushed after him following him to the main door, he flung the doors open and walked out into the storm, Inara close behind. She grabbed his shoulder, the rain pouring down and soaking her hair and clothes. "Erik, where are you going?!" He turned, glad that the rain hid the tears streaming down the visible side of his face.
"I can't do this, Inara, I don't deserve this. I'm leaving before either of us gets hurt."
With that Erik turned to leave, the rain still streaming down, Inara grabbed his hand, and catching him off guard pulled him to her and kissed him with all the passion she could muster.
"Don't leave me this way, Erik."
Inara wrapped her arms firmly around Erik, her head against his chest, crying softly against him. He looked down at her, at the way she held him, and slowly wrapped his arms around her. They stood there, the rain like tears pouring down on them, and held each other. Erik disentangled their arms, and took Inara's hand before leading her back into the house.
