The Other Music of the Night

The story was inspired by “The Phantom of the Opera” by Gaston Laroux

---

Paris 1880

Raoul, Vicomte de Chagney, made his way deep beneath the bowels of the Paris Opera House. He was searching for Christine, the young singer who had vanished. Raoul suspected  the mysterious Erik also known as The Phantom who had been terrorizing the theater

      “This must be the place,” Raoul thought as he entered the phantom’s lair a fantastic gothic chamber lit by enormous candelabras.

“It’s time for our music Christine!”

Raoul could see the beautiful Christine standing next to a pipe organ where Erik sat playing his music.

“Sing for me!” the Phantom commanded.

Christine sang her beautiful voice filling the chamber.

“Forever my dear! “The Phantom said.

“Let her go!” Raoul shouted.

“Raoul!”

“You fool! “The Phantom said and pulled a lever on the organ.

Ropes descended from the ceiling wrapping themselves around Raoul’s arms and torso like tendrils from a giant squid.

“No!” Christine said as she saw the handsome young man struggling to break free from the phantom’s diabolical contraption.

“If you stay,” Erik said,” He will live.”

“You’re a monster,” Christine shrieked.

“So true my dear “the Phantom said smiling behind the mask that hid his hideous face.

“I’ll strike a bargain,” Raoul said.

“You are in no position to my dear viscount,” the Phantom said watching as Raoul’s muscles strained against the ropes.

“If you let Christine go, I will stay,” Raoul said

“What?” Christine could not believe her lover would make such a sacrifice for her.

“Interesting proposition?” Erik said, “It might be amusing to torture you.”

“No “Christine pleaded.

“Go child you are free” Erik said.

‘I will not leave.”

“Go Christine before he changes his mind” Raoul said.

Christine ran out of the phantom’s lair the large doors closing behind her.

“This is an unexpected twist in the libretto,” Erik said.

“So I surprised you?”

“Yes, my dear viscount “

“Why don’t you call me Raoul”?

“Very well I shall”

“And free me from these ropes” Raoul said.

“But then you will escape!’

“No, I give my word as gentleman.”

“But I enjoy watching you tied up“ The Phantom said standing in front of his helpless prisoner. 

“Torture me then!”  Raoul said defiantly.

“All in good time” Erik said.

Raoul felt the phantom caressed his chest.

“You are in excellent shape “Erik said noticing the bulge in the vicomte’s tight trousers.

“What of it?”

“Did you make love to the girl with this? “Erik asked as he unbuttoned Raoul’s trouser exposing the hard eight -inch cock.

“No, I did not” Raoul said.

“But you want to” Erik said as he jerked off his prisoner

Raoul squirmed as the phantom pumped his hard shaft.

 “You have a big cock Raoul.”

“What about you Erik?”

“See for yourself” Erik said opening his robe exposing a ten-inch erect cock.

“You are aroused too” Raoul said.

“I should make you suck it” “Erik said closing his robe “But you will never touch me!”

“I’m not afraid of your- “

“Face!” the phantom said pulling off his mask “Look upon my accursed ugliness!’

Raoul stared at the phantom’s disfigured features it was as if an acid had eaten away at a beautiful portrait.

 “My father was a military doctor I have seen plenty of men maimed much worse than you.”

“No one will ever love me.”

 “Release me and I will show you.”

The phantom broke the ropes freeing Raoul.

‘Go and let me be.”

Raoul walked over to the phantom and kissed him on the lips. Erik has never felt passion like this.

“I want you “Raoul said taking Erik’s cock into his mouth.

“Oh God” Erik moaned as the beautiful young man sucked on his shaft.

The phantom’s robe fell to his feet revealing a muscular body covered with dark hair.

“I want to see all of you!’ Erik said ripping off Raoul’s clothes. The vicomte’s smooth skin glistened with sweat. Erik had never seen such perfection in human form before. Raoul looked like a living Greek statue.

 “You are too beautiful,” Erik said lifting Raoul in his powerful hairy arms and carried him to his sumptuous peacock shaped bed.

Raoul felt as if he was in an erotic dream surrounded by the lights of the flickering candles and the sensuousness of the silk sheets.

“Erik? “

“I’m here” the Erik said holding a glass bottle in his hand.

“What is that? “Raoul asked.

“Pleasure” Erik said opening the bottle releasing an intoxicating aroma from within

Raoul breathed in the elixir that made every inch of his body tingle.

“Turn over” the phantom commanded.

Raoul did as the phantom said.

“Beautiful” Eric whispered as he poured the oil on the young officer’s back side.

“Oh yes”

Raoul felts the phantom’s hands massage his back.

“More”

The phantom caressed Raoul’s ass cheeks

“Please”

Raoul felt Erik’s fingers penetrating his butt hole.

“Oh God” Raoul moaned as the phantoms fingered fucked him.

The phantom poured the oil on his cock.

“Are you ready? “

“Fuck me “Raoul pleaded spreading his butt cheeks.

The phantom penetrated Raoul

“Ahh” Raoul felt pain, but the oil made it pleasurable too.

The phantom fucked the man who had been his rival for Christine’s love.

‘Oh yes” Raoul reached down and began to stroke his own cock.

“Do you love me” Erik asked.

“Yes!” Raoul said as he felt the hard shaft inside him.

The phantom turned Raoul over, so they were now face to face.

“Look at me and say it” the phantom.

Raoul stared at the disfigured visage, but the effect of the oil had made it seemed as if Erik’s face had become beautiful.

‘Fuck me!”

Raoul wrapped his strong legs around Erik.

“Love me! “Erik said as he felt his cock vibrating inside Raoul.

“I want you!’ Raoul was furiously pumping his dick.

“Forever” the phantom felt his cock ejaculate inside Raoul.

“Yes love” Raoul ejaculated his hot cum splashing across his chest.

The two men collapsed on the bed.

“That was so good my love” Raoul said.

The two men kissed.

Erik felt lost in a romantic dream that he had only witnessed on the stage of the opera. Is this real love? He thought.

“What are you thinking about?” Raoul said.

“I thought what I wanted was that girl but now I realized it was a man I needed.”

Erik leaned in to kiss Raoul when he stopped and listened to a distant sound.

“What’s wrong? “

“Can’t you hear the voices?” Erik said.

The angry crowd is heard in the distance.

“Christine must have gotten help,” Raoul said.

“They will never get through I sealed the doors” Erik said pointing to the entrance.

“Is there another way out? “Raoul asked.

“Yes, through the tunnel to the river” Erik pointed in the direction of the canals.

“Let go now! “Raoul said pulling on his trousers.

“I can’t go out there!”

“They will kill you if you stay! “

“There is no place but the dark for me “

“Not anymore “Raoul said holding Erik’s hand

The crowd was pounding at the door.

“But where can we go?”

“My house outside of Paris” Raoul said.

Erik gathered his manuscripts and threw them in the boat.

“I’ll start a fire that will keep them out.’

Raoul knocked over a candelabrum setting a tapestry on fire.

“Hurry!” Erik shouted as he cut the rope that held the gondola in place.

Raoul leap onto the boat as it began to move out of the chamber that was ablaze with the fire.

The crowd stopped when confronted with the inferno.

Erik guided the boat as Raul used an oar to make their escape faster.

“There it is!” Erik said pointing to the opening that led into the river.

“The crowd will think you died in the fire,” Raoul said standing next to Erik.

“But what about you? “Erik asked.

“I will turn up and later tell them I manage to escape.”

The boat had drifted onto the river.

“The sun will rise soon,” Raoul said.

“I’m going to miss Christine’s voice.”

“But you have not heard me sing” Raoul said smiling.

The two men kissed one more time as the sun rose over Paris.

Erik could hear a new melody forming in his head; it would not be the music of the night but of hope for new beginnings.

The End
