Prince laughs abruptly, like I’ve startled him. Then his eyes soften into something warm and tender. “Would you like to?”

“This is my first chance to look at you in the light,” I murmur, shyly smiling at him. “I’d fuckingloveto see you. And smell you. And taste you...”

Prince’s eyes are dark and hungry. “And would you like to feel me inside you, too, my Beauty?”

My cheeks hot, I pull away from him to roll onto my back and bat my lashes, spreading my legs to invite him closer. “Whenever you please, Prince Charming,” I whisper. “The door is always open. And if not, you can sneak through the window.”

I’m finally learning what I want. And as long as I don’t have to say it out loudeverytime, I’ll be the happiest boy alive.

“That’s lucky for both of us,” Prince says with a slow grin, rolling over to straddle me. “Because there’s nowhere I’d rather be.”

And that makes two of us.

Chapter

Sixteen

PRINCE

I’ve never feltthis tender—like I’m about to laugh, cry, or maybe both at once.

But I can’t hold back what I feel. With each breath we share, each kiss I press against my Beauty’s lips, another crack in my heart mends. I’m deep inside my boy—and this time, I get to spend every second looking deep into his eyes.

And what I find there…

It doesn’t just make my cock hard, although Iamharder than I’ve ever been as I surge into him. No, the look on his face makes the walls around my heart soften and crumble away. At last, I’m giving in to the moment. I’m giving him everything I have.

And he wants it all.

Beauty has long since gotten hard again. I’ve got his wrists above his head to make him hold out so it feels better for him… and so we can make this last a little longer. But he’s whimpering and squirming under me. He’s clenching tightly around me with every stroke, and I can’t deny him much longer.

As for me… I’m only hanging on by a thread.

Just having his eyes on mine as my Beauty embraces everything I give him, knowing that my desire is lighting him up… every moan I give is a confession that Beauty welcomes.He gathers them up like precious gems, and I get to watch this beautiful piece of his soul light up like never before.

I can’t believe he gave me another chance. He saw the truth, and he forgave me—and forgiving him was the easiest thing I’ve ever done.

We’ve both learned our lesson. And that really is a fairytale come true.

I’m falling for him… or I already have. I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter, because every chapter of my fairytale yet to come is about my boy, my Briar, my one and only Beauty.

“Fuck,” Beauty groans, rolling his head back as I drag the tip of my tongue along his throat. One kiss at a time, I work my way to his lips, and then I kiss him until he can hardly breathe.

I can tell how close he is. It’s written all over his face. And I don’t think I’m even going to need to touch him.

“P-Prince,” Beauty whispers, his eyes flying open as he finally realizes the same thing. “I—I’m—ohhhh, fuck!”

“Yes,” I growl against his lips, nipping the lower lip and swiping my tongue along it like the possessive prince he’s always dreamed of. “Give me your pleasure. Cum for me, Beauty. Show me how much you love to be mine.”

“Yours,” Beauty echoes in a whimper. “And—and mine. My Prince.”

I finally let go of his wrists, and he wraps his arms around my back, clinging on as tight as he can.

“Your Prince,” I promise, cupping his cheeks. “Always. I’ll be here whenever you want.” Then I grin, because I know exactly what will get him over the edge he’s so desperately clinging onto. I lean down to kiss behind his ear, and then I breathe out, “And wheneverIwant.”

Briar throws his head back and whimpers in a tone that makes me see stars. Or maybe that’s the way he’s clenchingaround my surging cock, his body tightening in uncontrollable little shivers as his climax slams into us both.

“Mmmmnh…!” Beauty cries out, and watching it on his face, I can’t hold back either.
