Beauty and the Beast has always been one of my favorite fairytales. I wrote an erotic re-imagining of the story based on the original fairytale from the 1700s – no dancing candelabras or clocks, and no Gaston. đ
My version is just what I imagined really went on when the Beast has his little Beauty captive, all alone together in that dungeon….

From bestselling erotica author Shoshanna Evers comes an erotic re-imagining of the classic fairytale, Beauty and the Beast.
With her fatherâs freedom at stake, Belle agrees to be the fearsome Beastâs prisoner in his enchanted castle. Held as his willing captive, Belle must submit to the Beastâs most primal desires to survive.
The Beast canât let his little Beauty go free, not while thereâs still hope that she might be the one to end his decade-long curseâŚand with true loveâs kiss, return him to the Prince he once was.
Their story is one that begins with imprisonmentâhe in his monstrous body, she in a dungeonâbut without this predicament, Beauty would never have met the Beast.
So we shall begin with what occurred on that fateful night when everything changed: when a lover was betrayed, a man deformed, and a castle shrouded in an enchantmentâŚ

Beast bared his fangs, and she cringed.
âY-youâre smiling,â Belle said. It might take her a while to get used to that.
âI am. I have a proposition for you.â He gently smoothed her skirt back over burning bottom, and turned her around to face him. âI havenât had a woman in my bed for a very long time. If youâd be willing to sleep with me, Iâd reduce your lifetime imprisonment to one short year.â
Belle gasped, both at the idea of sleeping with him, and the idea of a life sentence being reduced to a year.
âYouâd crush me to death,â she said, looking up at his towering hulk.
âI would not. Wasnât I very gentle with you earlier, in your cell, when I made you feel so amazing, as you put it? Right before youââ
Right before she cut him and ran. Yes, she could recall something like that happening.
âItâs really not âwillingâ if I must bed you for my freedom,â she pointed out.
âForget I said anything,â he growled. âIâll see you safely to your cell.â
âWait!â She paused, frantic, not willing to give up her one chance of freedom. And also not willing to give up a very rational excuse for having more experiences like the one heâd given her earlier. âThree months. Then I can go.â
âSix months, and you do everything I say.â
âItâsâItâs a deal, Beast.â She sighed. âIâm yours for six months. And then you set me free and you forget all about me and my Papa.â
Beast smiled. YesâŚdefinitely a smile. âI very much doubt I will ever forget you, beauty. But Iâll never harm you.â
Her thoughts immediately flew to her sore bottom, at the way he spanked her so thoroughly. Although, it was as he said. Heâd hurt her, he had not harmed her. She would remember her punishment when she sat down for a day or two, but it wasnât like heâd crippled her.
Or ate her. That was something to be grateful for.
Beast looked around his castle as though seeing it for the first time. âI suppose, if youâll be staying awhile, we could arrange more suitable sleeping quarters for you.â
âIn your bed,â she guessed.
âYouâll have your own suite.â He spoke louder, and Belle realized he was probably summoning the fairies. âBelle will need a suite, with a four poster bed, a bath, dresses in the armoire, and a fire ready for her.â
âThe fairies can do all that?â she asked.
âFairies?â He shook his head and began to say something, but it just sounded like growling to her.
âPardon?â
âNever mind. If youâd like to believe we have a fairy infestation, then by all means. Believe what you will.â Beast gestured for her to follow him up the stairs and into the west wing of the castle.
She followed, mesmerized by the glorious tapestries and paintings that adorned the long hallways. Where had a beast gotten such wealth?
One oil painting, of a young man, about her age perhaps, caught her eye. His handsome face seemed to draw her in. Belle stopped in front of it, gazing at the portrait.
âHeâs beautiful,â she whispered.
âThank you,â Beast said. âI meanâŚIâm glad you appreciate the art in my castle.â
There was something familiar about the young manâs intense green eyes.
âDo Iâdo I know him?â she asked.
âPerhaps. You would have been a child when this portrait was taken.â
She looked at the inscription on the gold plaque beneath the portrait. It said âPrince Frederick,â and was dated ten years prior. That would have been when she was nine years old, and certainly never out and about, gazing into handsome princesâ green eyes.
âI suppose I donât,â she said.
For some reason the thought made her sad. What had become of that young man? Perhaps the portrait was from another country. Sheâd never heard of a Prince Frederick before.
Beast kept walking down the corridor, so she followed.
âI imagine you ate everyone who lived in this castle,â Belle said. âThatâs why they arenât here, andâŚyou are.â
Beast whirled around, and she was so caught off guard that she stumbled against his enormous chest.
âIâm sorry,â she gasped.
âThat is not what happened.â
âThe painting was ten years ago. Ten years ago, you changed. You told me so. I was merelyâŚtaking an educated guess.â
âThere was nothing educated about it,â Beast said. âAnd if youâll be staying under my roof for the next six months, you might want to reconsider playing guessing games if you want us to get along.â
She put her hand to her mouth. âI apologize.â
âWeâre here.â He stopped in front of a large door, with the words âBelleâs Suiteâ etched into a small silver placard on the door. âIf you need anythingââ
âIâll just ask the fairies,â she finished for him.
âUm, yes. Exactly.â
âWill I be sleepingâŚuninterrupted?â She blushed as she spoke the words, but she had to know if heâd be taking her up on their deal tonight.
âDawn is almost here. Sleep as late as youâd like. I wonât bother you until you come to me.â
âButâŚwhat if I never choose toâŚcome to you?â
Beast raised his heavy brow. âYour six months begins when you do. Take as long as you need.â
He held opened the door to her suite and she stepped inside, reveling at the sight of the large four poster bed with the flowing white linens, the glowing warmth of the fire burning in the fireplace, and most of allâŚthe roses. They were everywhere, the scent beckoning her.
âGood night, beauty.â
