Beauty and the Beast (Once Upon a Happy Ever After 2)

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 horror and disgust. I’ve stopped thinking that I’ll find someone who can handle what I need. Because no one can.

But I can’t seem to keep my eyes off the stunning girl in a golden dress.

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 monster I truly was.
