HEY EVERYONE! I know it's literally been ages sense I've uploaded anything and I REALLY apologize for that! I've been insanely busy but found a time to finally get back into this! I hope I still have my readers!

Now I wasn't sure where to go with this but this chapter get's pretty...sexual and I think I'm going to bump this up to an M rating so if that changes don't be surprised. So if you are young I advise not to read this...but if you're not then enjoy!

Chapter 9

This was a delicate manner at which to be approached. Most would assume that a man such as Erik's age would have been familiar with the affairs of love making. Surely Christine would suspect such a situation. How dreadful-how shameful was the truth that he dare not say anything. But she would know. He couldn't hide something this monumental-this obvious! He had no idea what to do...

Surly he acted a good game. Spoke words of seduction and sensuality but when it came to actions, he was a hopeless cause. And Christine, his newly wed wife, would be expecting nothing short of a honeymoon to remember.

Once they had left the confines of Nadir and Madame's stare, Erik-in full grin-led them outside and to a waiting carriage arranged earlier in the day. The cloaked driver took them for almost an hour to the outskirts of town where they arrived in a small town house surrounded by nothing but the present nature. There was not a cloud in the sky-hundreds upon thousands of stars shone down at them. Erik led his wife out of the carriage and the driver drove off without a word.

"Where are we?" She asked excitedly.

"Nadir was kind enough to lend us a home he uses for the holidays. No one around, no one to disrupt us." He said in a rather seductive tone that drew her to him. Within that proximity he couldn't help put kiss her and what soon turned into one more passionate then expected.

"I...I did not expect this from you. Christine." He panted-both of them breathing heavily in each others arms.

She grinned up at him, "There's much you don't know Monsieur and now that we are wed...we don't have to hide anything."

"Hiding? Who said-"

"Dear please. I am no foolish child any longer." She brought her lips close to his ear and whispered, "I know what you want."

"Oh?" He breathed. "And what is that."

"Me." She kissed his cheek and broke from his arms, giggling as she ran into the house that awaited them. Erik stood there shocked as embarrassment flushed over him only for a moment.

He walked into the home finding her cloak on the floor. He bent down to pick it up but saw her shoes discarded as well. "Christine?" He called, seeing her veil set down upon a chair in the adjoining room. There was no answer.

Erik crept quietly through the house, each room lit with moonlight making everything particularly clear for his eyes. He came upon the master bedroom where the door sat ajar, slowly opening it to reveal Christine laying there with only her slip on which clung to the contours of her body. The neck line lay low, revealing much of herself to him. It covered only up to her mid thigh as she half-lay on the bed.

"Chr-Christine...what are you...?" He was surprised to say the least. Never before seeing so much of a woman and knowing as well, that she would willingly give herself to him.

"Come here." She said-a slight quiver of nerves showing through her voice. Though he couldn't blame her, as his stomach gave a twist of alarm itself.

He went over and sat stiffly on the bed unsure of what to do. She giggled and went to massage he shoulders. "You are awfully tense. Is something the matter?"

"N-No. Not at all." She felt sudden sympathy for him. Knowing that he was just as nervous as she.

"Take your shoes off darling. I'll help you." He obeyed and slipped them off as she began to work on the buttons of his coat ever so gently then working on the vest underneath. "You must get tired of wearing all of these layers. It must be awfully hot." He didn't respond as she slipped both layer off-leaving him in his dress shirt.

Very gently she slid her hands over his shoulders and down his chest as a way to comfort him before proceeding. Christine placed a longing kiss upon his lips before she began on the shirt buttons. Shock was obvious upon her face as each button was undone. A new scar was revealed after she let go of each one. "Oh my poor Erik..." Obvious sadness in her voice as she finally unbuttoned the entire shirt. "Who would do this to you?"

He frowned at her, "I am rather imperfect...I did not want you to see this."

She cupped his face with her hand, "I love your imperfections darling. I am only sad that someone would harm you so immensely. And you couldn't hide this from me forever. In fact I don't want you hiding anything from me. Do you understand Erik?" He nodded. "We are one now, husband and wife." She couldn't help but smile at that statement. "I wish to know everything about you no matter how gruesome." She went in and kissed him deeply while she brushed off his shirt, sliding her hands over the divots and ridges that his scars created. The were more obvious on his back-not a place was untouched or unharmed. It brought on a great sadness in her but one that did not conquer in their current state of being.

Erik let his senses take over, gently caressing her but instinctively letting his tongue explore her eager mouth. She returned the favor and he rolled unto his back, she laying on top of him. Their passion grew with each passing second as his care for being gentle began to pass. Christine did not seem to care as she responded to each of his eager responses.

Erik could feel himself harden beneath her as she gave a little shocked breath at the feeling. Her eyes widened as they stopped and looked upon each other.

"Is everything alright?" He asked.

She thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes..I mean, this is rather new and well I guess I am nervous." She blushed at the confession.

"Do not worry love. It will be for both of us." He didn't want to see her reaction to the news so he continued on, "Do you want to do this? Honestly?"

"Yes. Yes. I love you Erik."

"I love you Christine." She bent back down and kissed him as he began working the confines of his trousers.

Alright so I ended it here because I wanted to test the waters a bit. See how the response is because I will totally go into WAY more detail and it will get WAY more intense then this in the next chapter if everyone is cool with that. If not let me know...

I hope you guys enjoyed it. and long time no see! :)
