Beastly & Bookish (A Winter Bliss Romance)

by Catrina Bell

It’s not every day this town gets a burly, bespectacled demon wearing perfectly tailored clothes. I mean, he’s practically dressed to seduce a librarian. Who can blame me for ogling a bit?

Her voice goes a mile a minute. I forgot how fun it is to just listen to her ramble. Her brain twists and turns in the most interesting directions.

Just right. A perfect fit. I can’t help but rock and slide, a wet mess already, and it makes his exhales shudder. Between softer kisses, I marvel at his face. Each dash of my lips makes him softer somehow. He’s no one else’s picture of ideal male beauty, but he’s mine. Every misaligned bone and scar. Those kiss-bitten lips and glittering eyes. Mine.

I breathe harder imagining all the things I want to do to her, the things she clearly wants to do with me. “You’re gonna ruin me,” I say, even though it’s her groaning as I sink a finger inside her hot center. My thumb settles over her clit. She cries out, then struggles to speak through panted breaths. “Good. That’s so good.” “We’re snowed in together. That makes you my captive.” Her pussy flutters around me, and I slide another finger inside, wanting to feel more of her taking me. Maybe she likes me commanding. “I get to use this sweet body however I please, don’t I?” “Unngh. Yes, please.” Her eyes are closed, but she smiles a little and swivels her hips. “I’m charitable like that. Kind, somebody once said.” A gruff laugh escapes me. “You’re perfect.” “You are.” My chest squeezes as I kiss the tip of her chin. “I believe you.” My lips make their way across her jaw. “And for the next few days, you’re all mine. Mine to spoil in every way.” “You’re the boss.” Her eyes go half-mast. “I’m all yours.” If only it were true. Forever.

Why does someone so perfect for me have to live so far away?
