The Beauty's Beast

by Eddie Cleveland

  “I love that,” I meet his eyes and it feels like a jolt of electricity is running up and down my body.

  “It turned out to be perfect in two ways,” he doesn’t take his eyes off of mine. I feel like I couldn’t look away from him if I wanted to, which I don’t. “The first way was it gave me an amazing career that I’m grateful for everyday,” his eyes travel over my face and settle on my lips.

  Does he want to kiss me as much as I want to kiss him?

  “What was the second way?” I whisper.

  “The second was that by writing these books, I finally got the confidence I needed to talk to beautiful women.”

  “Ahhh, well congratulations,” I laugh and roll my eyes.

  “No, I don’t mean it like that. I’m not bragging right now, I’m telling you that I’m so happy it had that effect on me because if it didn’t, I’d never be sitting here talking to someone as stunning as you,” he reaches across the table and laces his fingers through mine.

  I don’t know what to say. I can’t imagine any words that would make this moment any better, so I just enjoy the heat extending from his hand to mine. I savor the moment, giving this point in time its very own wrinkle in my brain, so I can remember it forever.

  Gabriel leans forward and I feel myself being pulled toward him. I watch his lips and bring my mouth closer to his until he is hovering over my face. His lips are just about to cover mine in a kiss and a siren squeals and jars us back into our seats.

  “What is that?” I yell over the noise and cover my ears.

  “I have no idea!”

  “Guests are asked to return to their cabins while crew do a deck by deck search,” the man on the loudspeaker instructs us over the blaring alarm. “Again, please return to your cabins, this is not a drill, there has been a report of smoke inside the ship. Crew members will be doing a deck by deck search. Guests will be notified when the restrictions have been lifted.”

  Gabriel stands up and extends his hand to me. I grasp his fingers and sigh. Of course there’s a fire, or whatever. Of course I couldn’t have my perfect night with the man of my dreams.

  I walk out into the hall and Gabriel and I part to go to our separate cabins. Damn it! Why can’t I ever have my own happily ever after?

  Chapter 4 - Gabriel

  I pace back and forth in my cabin, the room is so tiny, I’m making myself dizzy with how frequently I have to turn. Finally, I plop down at my desk and sigh. I feel like a caged animal waiting for the ‘all-clear’ to be sounded so I can race back to Ally.

  Staring out my porthole window, I let images of the evening flash through my mind like a movie. I relive her beautiful smile. I let my imagination run wild, pretending that we didn’t just almost kiss, but that we had a wild night of toe-curling ecstasy that followed the incredible kiss. Right now, it’s nothing more than a fantasy. No more real than one of my books.

  That gives me an idea.

  I open my laptop and turn it on, my smile growing as I let the fantasy run wild in my mind. I open Word and let my fingertips fly over the keyboard.

  If I can’t spend tonight with Ally, I’ll do the next best thing, I’ll write about it.

  Time passes in a blur as I write about the writer and his sexy beta reader. I relive our meeting earlier today, giving details about how crazy she made my heart beat and how I breathed her in deeply, wishing I could smell her perfume on my pillow later.

  Click-clacking fills my room as I continue the next chapter with us meeting up for drinks. Except, in my version I kiss her. Passionately. Hard. Our tongues thrash together in need like our bodies ache to do.

  I write about how we get a little tipsy and begin to dance. In my story, she grinds against me, purposely getting me worked up like a naughty girl. A naughty girl who has earned a punishment. My fingers type up a sizzling scene in my cabin, where I spank her bare bottom until it’s red with handprints and I fuck her hard until I fill her with my cum.

  I slump back in my chair, somehow feeling better expressing all this pent-up desire in words. When the idea first flickers through my mind, I almost gasp.

  Should I? What would she say? What would she think?

  As my mind questions what will happen, my fingers open my email and attach the story. I type in her address and hold my breath. If I send this to her, there’s no turning back. It’s very clear it’s about her. About us.

  I hover my finger over the mouse and imagine the worst thing that could happen, and then the best.

  Click.

  Best wins every time.

  A whistle blows over the loudspeaker and makes me jump in my seat. I turn and listen to the announcement.

  “Thank you for your patience. The crew have determined that there is no fire or smoke on board. Guests are now free to continue with their activities.”

  I stand up and stretch, I wonder if she’s read the story yet. I wonder what she thinks of it.

  There’s only one way to find out. Before I let myself overanalyze it to death, I head out of my cabin and down the hall.

  Chapter 5 - Ally

  I’m breathing hard and my whole body is engulfed in heat. I don’t need some nosy stranger to tell me that they think I’m having a stroke. After reading that sex scene between me and Gabriel, I might seriously have one.

  I heard the all clear as I started reading his story, but there was no way I was peeling myself off the seat at that point. Stop reading a hot erotica story by my favorite romance writer, about us? Not gonna happen. Damn, even if they would’ve announced that the ship was going down, Titanic style, I would’ve needed to finish reading first.

  I take off my glasses and close my eyes, remembering his words. My pussy clenches as I think about that smoking hot scene I just read. I think it might be time to dig Bob out of my luggage. Gabriel’s words alone practically made me cum.

  I make my way over to my suitcase and start unzipping it. Normally I’d say a hot story and a good vibrator are all a girl needs. However, after reading that story, I don’t know if I’ll ever be satisfied with anything less than his touch now.

  Of course, you don’t know if you don’t try. I lift my favorite vibrator in my hand.

  Thud, thud, thud!

  The knock at the door startles me and I drop Bob back into my luggage. I quickly answer the door and freeze in place when I see him on the other side.

  That look in his eyes tells me more than words ever could. He wants me just as bad as I want him.

  “Come in,” I stand back and let him pass through the door frame into my room.

  “I, uh,” he darts his eyes over to my computer. He looks nervous. “I was wondering if you got my email.”

  “I did,” I step closer, looking up at him from under my eyelashes.

  Gabriel wraps his arms around me and looks down at my lips. This time, he doesn’t waste any time kissing me. His lips cover mine in a sweet, tantalizing kiss that makes my ears buzz and my head spin.

  That was every bit as amazing as I imagined it could be.

  “It was the hottest thing I’ve ever read,” I tell him honestly, my voice is thick with desire. “There’s only one part that I didn’t think sounded like me,” I grind my hips against him.

  “Oh, what was that,” he smiles down at me.

  “Me grinding and dancing on you out on the dance floor. I’m more private than that,” I flip around in his arms and rub my ass against his hardening cock. “If I was going to do that, I’d tease you like this instead,” I twist against him and he grabs me by the arms, pulling me tight to his frame.

  “You are a naughty girl, aren’t you?” He growls in my ear. He doesn’t wait for me to answer, he leads me over to my bedside and sits on the edge. “Pull your dress up,” he demands.

  I bite my lip and feel my nipples turn to diamonds. I can’t believe how wet he’s making me without laying a single hand on me. I slowly tug my dress up from my ankles, dragging the fabric up over my knees and then my thighs, until I have it balled up around m
y waist.

  Lie over my knee and look down at the floor,” his voice is steady and stern. A chill runs down my spine as I obey. I slide over his legs, enjoying feeling his hard cock press into me. I squirm against him, teasing him.

  Smack!

  My eyes widen at the unexpected sharp snap of his hard palm against my soft ass.

  “That’s for being a bad girl and wiggling around. I told you to look at the floor, now stay still and do as you’re told,” his voice is gravelly and rough.

  I can feel my sex grow slick with desire while I do as he instructs. I always wondered if it would feel silly to lie over a man’s lap and have my ass spanked like Gabriel has described in many sex scenes.

  It doesn’t.

  It’s the furthest thing from silly.

  It’s fucking hot.

  Gabriel’s fingers slide up under the edge of my underwear and I shiver with anticipation as he slowly pulls them over my ass. He rubs his hand over my flesh, as if he’s admiring each cheek, then slides his fingers over my round ass and down between my thighs. He softly caresses my pussy and parts my lips with his fingertip.

  “You’re very wet,” he muses. “Does this turn you on?”

  I nod. “I was turned on when I read it, this is driving me crazy,” I confess quietly.

  Smack!

  Another firm slap to my ass, this time harder than the last. “A simple yes or no will do, Ally,” he rubs his hand over my plump cheek, still stinging from his punishment.

  “Yes,” I answer.

  “Good girl. Now do you know why I’m going to spank you, Ally?”

  “Yes, for teasing you,” I answer.

  Smack! Smack!

  His broad hand claps against my ass without restraint. “I told you it’s yes or no.”

  “Yes.”

  “Good,” I can almost hear the smile in his voice. Of course, I can’t see it, I’m looking at the floor like he told me to.

  Gabriel’s hand rains down against my ass, his spanking is swift and hard. I try not to squirm away from the burning sensation spreading over my skin. I try not squirm from the equally overwhelming sensation blooming between my thighs.

  He finally stops and helps me off of his lap. I slide to my knees in front him, resting back on my haunches and my bottom burns from where he spanked me.

  Gabriel helps me undo his pants and free his cock in front of my mouth. It’s every bit as thick and long as I imagined. I take him in my mouth eagerly, watching his face as I suck his dick.

  He closes his eyes and groans as he rests his hand on my head, guiding me to take more of him in my mouth. My eyes water and I try not to gag on his fat cock as I take him as far into my throat as I can.

  “You’re so beautiful,” he murmurs, looking down at me, “especially with my cock between your lips.” He grunts and thrusts his dick deeper into my mouth before pulling out completely.

  “Get up,” he stands up and pulls me to my feet. I’m only too happy to do what he wants. I’ve never been this turned on before. I feel like a raw nerve, like if he even breathes on me I might cum.

  He takes off his glasses and lays them on the nightstand beside the bed then reaches into his pants and pulls out his wallet, “What are you doing?” I ask.

  “Grabbing a condom.”

  “I’m covered, we don’t need one.” I know I sound desperate, but I don’t care, “I need to feel your cum inside me Gabriel, please cum inside me.” I beg.

  Gabriel doesn’t answer with words, instead he guides me to the edge of the bed and bends me over the side. I expect to feel his cock thrust into me, but am surprised when he slides down to his knees behind me.

  I gasp as I feel his tongue delve into my pussy and lap up my juices. He slides his tongue from my clit all the way back to my asshole and twirls it around there for a moment, giving me an intense sensation that makes me completely freeze. Then he goes back to my clit, burying his face between my ass cheeks, I can feel his nose pressed up against my asshole as he licks and sucks my clit relentlessly. I grab the comforter on the bed and twist it in my hands as his expert tongue drives me to the edge. I knew I couldn’t last long. My orgasm crashes over me like a tidal wave, rolling me around under its mighty force so I don’t even know which way is up or down.

  I pant raggedly against the bedspread with my ass still hovering up in the air as my senses begin to return. “Holy fuck,” I manage to sputter.

  “That was nothing,” Gabriel muses. He stands behind me and grips my hips in his hands. I feel him line his cock up to my entrance and thrust inside me forcefully. I moan against the bed as my pussy stretches to accommodate his girth. I’ve never felt this full before. It’s amazing.

  “Fuck you’re tight. I love how my good girl has a tight little pussy,” he holds me tight and fucks me hard. I can feel my ass jiggle against him as he pumps his cock deep into my core. The sting of my earlier spanking has cooled, but I can still feel where he left his marks on my skin.

  I love it.

  I love being marked by him. Owned by him. Fucked by him.

  He spread my ass cheeks and thrusts into me deeper still, I look over my shoulder and see him watching his cock slide inside me. My pussy clenches down as another orgasm rips through me, my muscles bear down and I growl with uncontrolled and feral pleasure.

  Gabriel grabs my hips again and fucks me faster, I can feel his leg muscles tense up as his fingers dig into my flesh. His cum fills me up in spurts until my pussy is dripping with his seed.

  Gabriel pulls out of me and I fall forward onto my bed. He quickly joins me on the mattress and we tangle up in each other’s half naked bodies and try to get our heartbeats and breathing back under control.

  “That was incredible,” I finally find my voice.

  “Mmmm,” he kisses my forehead, “you’re amazing.”

  “Thank you,” I nuzzle up to him, “you’re not too shabby yourself,” I tease. “I’m going to have to kick you out soon though,” I twist my head and look up at him.

  “Kick me out? Why?” I can see the confusion in his eyes.

  “Because if that’s how my beta reading is going to go from now on, I’m gonna need you to go write some more stories,” I laugh.

  “Oh, there’s plenty more of them in your future,” he laughs and pulls me into his chest tight.

  As we drift off to sleep in each other’s arms I can’t help but feel even luckier than the heroines in his books. Those girls usually get the hot guy with the hot body and hot sex. Not every girl gets the guy who can make her cum with only his words and his imagination.

  THE END

  Pole Position

  Chapter 1 - Cord

  “Another one bites the dust,” I raise my beer bottle to the man of the night, Strickland. As our youngest guy on the force, we all kinda treat him like a little brother, so when he told us he was getting married, we threw together a bachelor party for him.

  Strickland looks like he’s struggling to see straight. Of course, all the shots we’ve been pouring down his gullet would knock a horse to its knees. He’s hanging on though, somehow staying conscious. I’m sure we’re gonna need to strap him into a cab later, but hopefully we’ve given him a night to remember. Even if he can’t recall all the details, we’ll be reminding him for quite some time.

  I slug back the last of my beer and thunk the empty bottle down on the tiny counter surrounding the stage. I’ve got front row seats in perv alley. We started the night out classy enough, but you can’t have a bachelor party without a stripper, it’s un-American. So, we dragged him into this place where they set us up real nice once they found out what we were here for. Now I’m sitting with the crowd of guys and the man of the hour at a side stage where we have a dedicated waitress keeping our thirst for liquor under control.

  The manager told us he was setting our group up with his best girl. That was almost twenty minutes ago and we’re still waiting. I’m not gonna lie, I don’t have the highest hopes about what t
his guy’s ‘best girl’ looks like. It’s not a total dive, I mean, I’ve seen worse, but the aged décor and tired sounding announcer don’t exactly give a VIP vibe.

  As if on cue, the waitress brings another round of drinks over to us, replacing the beer I just downed. At least the service is good.

  “You guys are just so fucking great,” Strickland slurs and throws his arms around me and Bennet as he drops his head forward toward the stage. “Just, like, such great guys. I know I don’t say it enough, man, but you’re the best,” he slobbers.

  “Ahhh, enjoy your night, kid,” Bennet smiles and ruffles his hair. “Once you’ve got that ball and chain around your ankle you won’t be getting out like this anymore,” he teases.

  “No, no, no, Teresa isn’t like that. She’s so cool and so beautiful, she’s just, guys, I mean it, she’s amazing,” he sways in his seat.

  “Sounds like you found the right one then,” I smile. As much as I like to bust the kid’s chops, I’m happy to see him settling down with someone that makes him so starry-eyed and cheesy. A pang twists in my gut as I wonder if I’ll ever be drunkenly professing my love about my wife-to-be.

  Luckily, I don’t have to sit on the idea for too long because my attention is diverted to the stripper. It turns out the manager wasn’t full of shit. If he says this is his best girl, then I believe it.

  Damn.

  My eyes travel over her small frame slowly, lazily taking in her modest breasts pushed up by lacy lingerie. Her body is so toned, I’m surprised to see the definition of muscle in her porcelain thighs. As she gets set up on stage, my beer bottle hovers mid-air as I shamelessly stare. She bends over and grabs a towel from the floor and I let my gaze lick the round curve of her ass like my tongue wants to. I think I might be drooling.

  I’m not the only guy under her spell, all the chatter has stopped dead around this small side stage. Every guy is sitting like a statue, transfixed by her. It’s amazing the power women hold over us. If they only knew the lengths we’d go to for their attention. If they only understood the desperation of our longing.
