Page 39 of Bella and Her Beast

“Greyson?” Bella calls. She eases up to the door, peering to see me.

“Boo!” I shout and begin to laugh.

She screams and the others laugh, too.

“It’s truly over!” I shout. Tears of elation stream down my face. “Russ, go open the bottle of champagne in the wine fridge. Zelda, please join us and celebrate.”

“Yes, mijo. See you upstairs.” She exits with Russell, leaving Bella and me alone.

“You know you are wrong for doing that to me,” she says, while unlocking the door.

“I had to have some fun. I’ve been nervous and holding back all day. Well, the past few weeks.”

She unlocks the cuffs from my ankles. “You didn’t hold back down by the lake.” Her eyes slim, and she directs her sexy smile in my direction before freeing my wrists.

I massage where the restraints once held me captive. “Bella, I’ve been holding back since we met.”

“Oh, really? So would you say you’re untamed?” She slides her arms around my waist, her gaze locked onto mine.

“There was no taming me until I met you.” I lean forward and kiss her. The curse is broken, and she is mine forever.
