Title: Scene 2:Point of no Return Author: MarshAngel E-mail: watsonma@hotmail.com Web page: http://www.crosswinds.net/~marshangel/angelmoon.htm This is actually a song-fic the first and quite possibly the last I'll write The song is "The Point of no Return" from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera." "Why are you here?" he asked stepping just far enough out of the shadows so that the moonlight struck the half of his body facing the open window. The shadows caused by the curtain blowing in the breeze caused a rather intriguingly ominous movement of shadows across what she could see of his face in the dark room. In his hand he was holding a square glass of ice and a liquid she knew was some alcoholic drink. Her father had once told her she'd drive a man to drink but she hadn't ever thought it would happen literally. "Are you drunk?" she asked tentatively. This could work much better if he were and yet she really didn't want him to be. "No," he replied simply and the silence fell between them again and it seemed he wouldn't say anything else. "This stuff doesn't taste particularly great. I couldn't get much of it down." And he really had wanted to. He wanted to be drunk but the liquid was bitter, worse than that cold medicine he swore never to take again. "I'm sorry about before. I…" "No. It's fine." "No it's not." "You don't have to apologize. Actually I'd prefer if you didn't." She winced at the coldness of it. It sounded like a dismissal. She wanted to run out of the room but she steeled herself against her fears and took a few steps forward until she there was only a few inches between them. Vaguely, in the background she could hear a song playing. It was one she knew well. She could hardly believe she was hearing it here, so low it seemed to be a part of the night breeze. You have come here In pursuit of your deepest urge In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent… silent She looked up at his face. He wasn't looking at her. In fact it seemed he wasn't seeing her at all. His black hair hung in his eyes and his head was slightly turned towards the window. She reached up and placed her hand on his cheek. "What are you doing?" he asked turning his head towards her. "This," she replied. She raised herself up on her toes, reaching her hand behind his neck and pressed her lips to his. At first he seemed surprised and didn't respond to her advance. It was only a mere moment however, before he took over from her, caught up in the pleasant surprise of the kiss and indulging in every moment of it. His arms snaked around her waist pulling her towards him. His tongue plunged into her mouth deepening the kiss into something even she hadn't dared to dream. It was enticing, hot, and intense. I have brought you That our passions may fuse and merge In our mind you've already succumbed to me Dropped all defenses Completely succumbed to me Now you are here with me No second thoughts You've decided… decided Caught up in the kiss she vaguely registered his hands running over her body, intensifying what was becoming an exercise in pure passion. She gasped for air when he finally let her mouth go. Her lips were swollen from the assault and she was already missing the feel of his warm mouth when he began placing gentle kisses along her jaw line and down her neck. His hands were all over her body leaving chills where his warm hands had passed. His breathing was fast and heavy when he asked, "Are you sure?" "Absolutely," she replied, as out of breath as he. Past the point of no return No backward glances The games we've played till now are at an end Past all thought of "if" or "when" No use resisting Abandon thought and let the dream descend What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us? Past the point of no return The final threshold What warm unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no return She was surprised when his hands slid down her body to the hem of her short dress, sliding the thin material upwards his large warm hands on her thighs. He went down on her knees and as his hands bunched the material high around her waist he planted kisses against her flat stomach constantly moving upwards. She raised her arms as the material came to her chest and took the material from him, pulling it over her head. She wasn't sure how long her shaking legs would hold her as his warm tongue worked his way around her breasts, making her gasp in pleasure. You have brought me To the moment where words run dry To that moment where speech disappears into silence…silence I have come here Hardly knowing the reason why In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining Defenseless and silent And now I am here with you No second thoughts I've decided Decided He suddenly stopped his love play with her body, much to her disappointment, and stood up. Without a second word he picked her up as though she were a mere child and carried her to the bedroom. He placed her gently down unto his bed and sat next to her. He moved his head down and kissed her again. She entwined her arms around his neck and played her fingers in his silky hair. As he continued to kiss her she began to slide the shirt that was already open down the center off his shoulders. Without letting up for a moment, he slid his arms out of his shirt. Past the point of no return No going back now Our passion play has now at last begun Past all thought of right or wrong One final question How long should we two wait before we're one? She ran her fingers over his bare chest enjoying the silky feel of his skin as much as he seemed to be enjoying the taste of hers. Within moments he was atop her enjoying the feel of her soft silky body beneath his. She reached down between them both, fiddling unsuccessfully with his pants. He paused for a moment to remove them himself with a speed and grace that was amazing to see. She gasped at the sight of his naked muscled body highlighted by the bright full moon. He was so beautiful. When will the blood begin to race? The sleeping bud burst into bloom When will the flames at last consume us? He looked down at her naked body lying in his bed. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" he whispered. "No more than you," she replied. He settled over her, his narrow hips between her legs. He was gentle when he finally pushed her legs apart moving into her as gently as he could to spare her the pain. Still he almost felt her pain when he fully thrust into her, breaking the seal of her virginity. The moment was almost ceremonial. Past the point of no return The final threshold The bridge is crossed So stand and watch it burn We've passed the point of no return The pain was over almost as quickly as it had begun and the pleasure with which the night had begun returned for them both, climaxing in a point of pure unadulterated pleasure that struck them both simultaneously. "I love you, Darien," She whispered in his ear as his weight settled completely over her, both their energies spent. "I love you too, Serena."
