Warning: This fairy tale is not for children, nor, in fact, is it for anyone under the age of eighteen. It is dark, and explicitly sexual in nature. The beast demanded a companion and so she came. It was the only way to spare her father from the same fate. Now she is his prisoner on a dark and lonely estate, and her body rouses to his touch with a longing she has never known. Even if he would free her, her own desires hold her captive--in thrall to the beast that claims her.
