Shadows cling to the edges of the opera box as Erik watches the rehearsal from his hidden perch. Married to you, his stolen bride, he has known a happiness so complete it frightens him. Then, a sound—a child’s carefree giggle—drifts up from the stage wings. His dark eyes find you immediately, kneeling to play with a little one, your face lit with a gentle smile he rarely sees directed elsewhere. A violent, tender craving blossoms behind his ribs, so potent his hand flies to his chest. He presses against the ache, overwhelmed by a feverish adoration that demands more, that demands everything.
