Beauty and the Beast
I couldn’t take my eyes off her. But I couldn’t have her. Not now. Not ever.
Not with this curse hanging over my head.
Not a real curse, this isn’t a fairytale. But I am cursed with a very specific need. One that scares everyone I’ve ever told. One that makes people look at me with such horror and disgust I’ve stopped telling people. I’ve stopped thinking that I’ll find someone who can handle what I need. Because no one can.
But I couldn’t seem to keep my eyes off the stunning girl in a golden dress.
I hadn’t planned on coming to the ludicrous ball tonight. Balls, formal attire, waltzing, none were my thing. But, it was the charity event to be seen at if you were part of the upper echelon New York elite. And I needed some very top tier eyes on me. I didn’t expect to catch the eye of a brown haired beauty though.
It would take everything I had to keep my cool around her. Everything within me not to throw her over my shoulder and show her how much of a beast I truly was.
The crowd parted for me as I made my way to the bar. Alcohol always dulled the need. But she intercepted me, stood right in my way and said hi to me. I grunted, pushed by her and sidled up to the bar. Two drinks down with another on the way and I finally felt more in control. The bartender slid my third bourbon down the bar and I took a long sip, turning to face the crowd.
“Hi, I’m Belle, and you’d better not drink too much or you won’t be up for what I have in mind for you.” She was right in front of me smirking, standing so close she had to crane her neck to make eye contact.
“Excuse me?” I growled, clenching the rocks glass.
“You heard me, but I’ll spell it out.” She stepped toward me her big brown eyes locked on mine. “You’re exactly what I need tonight. Why don’t we go back to your place?”
The rocks glass shattered in my hand.
Her lips curved into a grin. “Been a while, has it?”
I stepped closer to her, intentionally putting myself in her space. “I don’t know who you think you are princess—”
“I already said, I’m Belle. And I’m certain I have exactly what you need.”
Each book in the Once Upon a Happy Ever After series is a complete standalone, HEA story with NO CLIFFHANGERS and NO CHEATING.
Who doesn’t want a love/lust-at-first-sight experience? Who doesn’t want to be devoured and possessed by a man who simply can’t control himself around you? Who doesn’t want a man to want you so much it makes him a little crazy? If that sounds good to you then this is especially for you.
But just so you know what you’re in for:
The books in this series are quick and dirty twisted fairy tales with dark, dominating alpha males, insta-lust scenarios, and steamy explicit sexiness that’ll melt your panties. If you like extra dirty stories with BDSM overtones, then this one is definitely for you. And as always, HEA with NO CHEATING!
