Howdee Hi Hello! I'm so super excited for this story. So this chapter isn't as steamy as I wanted it to be but I like how it panned out. Well other than that Enjoy!

His eyes became hollow as you search them. He pulls back and gets off of you. "I'm sorry." His voice is haunting when he pulls away. You lay there listening to him straighten his clothes. Why did I stop him? He was so close, I was so close… You sit up slowly when you feel the weight of his body leave the bed.

"Where are you going?" you ask as he leans down and ties his shoes. "I do not mean to make you fear me, somehow that's what I did in the end." He stands up and looks at you once more before turning and walking towards the door.

"Wait!... I didn't mean to stop you… " What are you saying! he doesn't need to know you wanted him. "I was nervous, I've never been touched that way. It was all so new." You look at him and wait for his response.

"I've never touched a woman." He whispers this while his back is turned to you. You can't see his silent tears as they start to fall. "I've never had a woman want to touch me without fear… you were the first." He turns now and you see the fresh trail of tears on his cheek and mask.

You reach your arms out not thinking about what you're doing. "Come here, I'm sorry. Please come and lay with me again." He looks at your arms and then into your eyes. "I don't need your pity, I am the great Opera Ghost!" His body straightens with pride.

"Then why do you cry?" You ask this as you drop your arms and look away from his searching eyes. "If you are so great then why do you cry?" You turn your eyes back to him to find that he has walked back and now stands at the end of the bed. "I cry because even the great Opera Ghost gets nervous and scared too." He places one knee one the end of the bed and leans his weight on it.

Once again you hold your hand out for him to come and lay with you. "Please… " You beckon him with your soft airy voice. He can not resist the sound of your voice or the thought that you want him to lay with you. He climbs onto the bed the rest of the way and waits at the edge, as if contemplating what to do now.

You sit on your knees facing him and grab his hands. "You don't have to do anything." His eyes widen as though you just read his thoughts. You pull his hands to your lips and place feather-light kisses on his knuckles. He sighs at this sudden pleaser and closes his eyes. You pull him into your arms and hold onto his long torso. He gasps when your arms close around him, his body stiffening at once.

"W-what are you doing?" He speaks with a slight stutter, losing some of his dark charm. "I'm holding you, is that wrong of me?" You look up at his face, his mask catching your attention. You know what's under it so why does he still where it? Does he know you know everything about him? His past and hs pain?

"Would you let me see your face?" His eyes widen and he pushes you off of him. "You will never see my hideous face!" You pull back but keep your eyes on his. "I know what you're hiding!" You yell and catch his attention. "Yes you feel like a monster! But I don't see it… I don't see a monster. I see a man who wants to be loved..."

He looks at you with doubt. "How do you know? How do you know I'm a man? That will not cause you to hate me or fear me? How do you know?" His golden eyes seem to water with this last statement. He looks sad and defeated.

"I know because you have not hurt me… " Yet… "You have not made me scared of you… " Hopefully you still won't. "And I have shared a kiss with you." This last part got him to smile in a sad way. "What does a kiss have to do with fearing me my dear?" His body sags and his eyes look to yours for guidance.

"A kiss can tell so much, and your kiss told me you want…. need to be loved by someone." You grab his hand again and scoot towards him. "I can never fear a Man that needs to be loved." With that you slip your hand around the back of his neck and pull him in for a kiss, which he participates in with a little whimper.

Well this is the end... of this chapter c: but I shall update with in the next 5 hours or so... I can't stop now It's getting so good.
