Ch 10♪

Erik lead Anna to his bedroom in disbelief of what was about to take place. He turned to face her and saw the panic in her eyes.

"Erik are you nervous?" Anna asked him.

"Yes I am terrified." He told her in an amused tone.

Before Anna could respond Erik had brought Anna's lips to his. Slowly he let his tongue explore her mouth in a way he had never before. He could feel Anna melt beneath his touch. There was no going back.

He wanted no more words; tonight he was going to prove to her how much he loved her. Tonight she was going to prove how much she loved him.

Erik picked up Anna in his arms and walked her over and gently placed her on the bed. He stepped back to get a good look at the woman lying before him ready and willing for his touch. Erik turned her over and began to unlace her dress. As he began to expose her soft flesh his lips bent down to feel the softness of her skin. He could hear her breathing becoming heavier. He could smell the arousal in her.

He could see the look of impatience in Anna's eyes and he enjoyed every second.

Once she was out of his dress he started with her corset. He was shaken to the core. A million questions were going through his mind, but once she was completely bare in front of him only one word came to him.

"Beautiful." Erik told her. "You are so beautiful."

He brought his hand to her large breasts and began caressing and squeezing them. She was firm beneath his touch. He had never imagined something so wonderful. He bent down and took one of them in his mouth. Erik nibbled on her hard nipple and his arousal grew at the sound of Anna's soft moans.

Erik pulled himself back up reluctantly as he slowly began to undress himself, he to was becoming impatient. He wanted to know every single thing about her. The way her body would move with him, the way she would feel underneath him, the way it would feel to be inside her.

He wanted to know everything.

He let her gaze upon him once he was completely nude. He could not help but smile at the smirk on her face. It was where she was gazing that made him begin to chuckle. She looked up to gaze into his eyes and he saw nothing but love.

"Take the mask off." Anna told him.

Anna wanted no barriers in this moment.

Erik wanted to say no at first. But he knew she was right, if she was to give her entire self to him, he was going to have to give her his entire self.

He reached up and pulled the mask off his face and set in on the night stand. Then slowly he leaned down onto her. Erik trailed kisses down her body, trying to kiss every imaginable part. He could feel the throbbing of his erection and brought Anna's hand to hold it. He wanted her to feel him, to feel his physical love for her. He dipped his fingers into the hidden part of her to see if she was ready for him.

Anna positioned him to her entrance and held her breath as he entered her in one swift motion. This hurt… a lot. But even through the pain it still felt good to her. After he thrust into her a few times the pain subsided and she began to rock with him. How could a sin against God feel so good?

Each thrust, Erik filled her completely.

"I love you Anna." Erik told her as he began to tease her, bringing her closer to her release but then bringing her back to the beginning.

"I love you to Erik." Anna moaned, clearly ready for it.

Finally Anna and he climaxed together, their moans and screams the only sound in the air. They just held each other the next few minuets, scared that words would ruin the moment they had just shared and experience together. It was Erik who broke the silence.

"Anna you belong to me now." He told her as he gazed into her eyes.

"Only you." Anna replied as she brought his lips to hers.

She had known long before this had happened that she belonged to him and only him.

OOOO

The passing weeks proved to be stressful. With getting everything ready for the opera and getting the scenes and songs down right it was an exhausting time for Anna. Christine had been quite an addition to the show and held her own next to Anna. But the most important thing was that the show was coming along wonderfully.

Days were routine. Rehearsals began at eight in the morning and continued throughout the day. Some days were fun and others awful, but to each performer it was all worth it.

"M. Cann, that was fine but it will sound so much better if it is through the diaphragm." M. Leboise, the maestro, told Richard.

"Yes sir."

"Anna." M. Leboise said turning his attention to Anna. "Nicely done."

"Thank you Monsieur." Anna replied back blushingly.

"Okay take a little break we still have so much work to do." Leboise told his cast, the look of relief washed over everyone's faces.

Anna noticed that Christine had become very nervous and tense over the past few weeks. It was a strange thing because Christine had appeared to be so joyful and full of life. Anna walked over to where Christine was sitting alone.

"Christine can I ask you a question?" Anna asked her, putting a soothing hand on Christine's shoulder.

"Okay." Christine's eyes were so full of fear.

"Why is it that ever since you began work at the theater you look to be in a constant state of fear?" Anna asked her, getting right to the point.

"Why would you think I am frightened?" Christine questioned back.

"Let's go and talk in my dressing room." Anna told her.

OOOO

"I will never escape him Anna, never." Christine told her.

Anna could not figure out what Christine was talking about. "What are you saying Christine?"

"The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind." Christine responded, a mad look loomed in her eyes. "The man who has haunted me, the man in all my dreams, the voice inside my head."

"Tell me about him." Anna told her.

"Soon after being brought to the Opera Populair, I began to hear a voice. He was always there for me. But once Raoul came back into my life Erik became vicious. He went mad, driven to the breaking point by me. He killed anyone who got in his way only to prove to everyone that it had to be his way." Christine said beginning to sob.

"Hi- his name was Erik." Anna asked fear now starting to rise in her.

"Yes that was his name. Oh Anna he had the most enchanting voice… eventually he had the opera perform his work, Don Juan Triumphant. During the opera he killed the lead tenor and took his place. We sang to beautifully that night, but after he sang his love to me I ripped of his mask. After that he fled taking me with him back down to his labyrinth."

Anna listened intently, her heart breaking with each word.

"Raoul followed us down there and before we both knew it, Erik had Raoul hanging by a noose and was making me choose a most horrific choice. If I did not consent to be his wife then he would kill Raoul and I would be free to leave. But if I choose Erik then Raoul would be free to leave. Oh Anna I was so scared." Chistine sobbed harder

"I ended up choosing Erik and then I kissed him but he let Raoul and I go. It has been nine months and his face is still stitched into my memory. I love Raoul but I love Erik so much more."

By this point Anna was hyperventilating. "He- he wore a mask."

"You are in love with him aren't you?" Christine asked accusingly.

"Yes." Was all Anna managed to say before she too broke down into sobs.

OOOO

"She is seeing someone else Raoul." Andrew told his friend bitterly. "I have seen them together."

Andrew had been pondering what he was going to do. He loved Anna and leaving her was not an option. But killing this man was.

This man would die.

"Do you know who the man is?" Raoul asked thankful that it was not him in this situation.

"No he is not familiar but his appearance is." Andrew said looking at Raoul; a murderous look loomed in his eyes.

"What did he look like?" Raoul questioned slightly confused.

"He is tall and impeccably dressed; he wears a mask on the right side of his face." Andrew told Raoul awaiting his response.

"No it must be some mistake, it just can't be." Raoul said getting hysterical.

"I believe it is him Raoul but I cannot think of what to do." Andrew said frustrated.

"I have a plan." Raoul told him, a look of brilliance lit on his face.

"Lets hear it." Andrew said excitedly.

"We…"
