Rofus From the moment I saw her, I knew I couldn't let her go. For ten years I lived in seclusion, my appearance and attitude frightened people and kept them away. But I liked it, I became stronger from it. And then she came into my life, a bright woman who challenged me and showed no fear. I should have sent her away for her own good, but I was too selfish to let her go. I wanted her to be mine even though I didn't deserve her.   BRITTA I should have been scared when he said I was his. His heart became hardened and cold, isolation made him hate the world. He thought people should be afraid of him because of the scars he bore, but I find my beauty in them. I was just a maid, but I couldn't help but have feelings for him. Maybe he was the Beast, a vicious beast hidden under a hard, powerful body. Maybe I should have run, but I knew he would come for me, find me anywhere. Deep down, I was honest with myself, I wanted him to be mine. And that scared me the most.   Warning: This is a sweet, short retelling of Beauty and the Beast. But this is not the fairy tale you heard once upon a time. It's full of hot, naughty moments that will have you squirming as you read it. And don't worry; there will be that sickly sweet “happily ever after” that we all crave.
