Beauty and the Beast: An Erotic Fairy Tale (Beauty Submits #1)

A steamy, BDSM twist on the classic fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast.

Sold to the Beast, Belle finds herself captive in a mysterious castle plagued by magic and a strange curse. The Beast's bane has forced him to live a life of despair in the shadows, but he's discovered a way to find pleasure in pain and he's eager to teach Belle. Curious, she agrees to enter a hidden dungeon full of enchantments and wonders far more dangerous than magic.

Excerpt:

Inside was a chamber lit by a ghostly red light. I stepped inside and felt warm all over. The chains on my cuffs glowed gold and silver. I turned back to the Beast. He leaned against the wall watching me with the intense look of an animal stalking prey.

My pulse quickened. I’d never had a man consider me so closely. Did he approve of what he saw?

His eyes were feral and hungry. As he stepped into the red light, they appeared to be illuminated from within. Bits of gold flecks glowed within the deep green pools of his eyes. They were entrancing. Had the magic taken ahold of me or was it simply the Beast’s presence?

I blushed and turned away. It was then I noticed the wall. Several hooks hung from its brick face, twinkling silver in the chamber. On each was placed a whip or other manner of deadly looking tools I did not recognize.

“Pleasure from pain,” the Beast said. His voice was low, flowing like a soft liquid. For a moment, I thought I’d heard him speak inside my own head. I turned to face him. “It’s like extracting blood from a stone,” he continued.

“How does one take blood from a stone?” I asked.

He stepped close and lifted my hands. “Very carefully.”
