The M-rated sequel to "Stay". The Beast is human again, but still haunted by dreams and the darkness of his past. Belle watched him die in her arms. Nothing can ever erase that. But her prince will try. So they find comfort in each other's arms as they confront the dark nights together. Rated M for dark nightmares and mature sexual situations.

The Beast just wants Belle to stay, to delight in the apple blossom blush of her cheeks. But he is a monster and cannot keep her. Belle doesn't really want to leave. It is safe and warm in the castle. The Beast, she is learning, is more man than monster, more Prince than Beast. Rated T for now, but deliciously T.

Chapter 1 takes place between Fi's "lecture" to Michael in the hotel room and Gilroy's phone call. Chapters 2 and 3 take place after the phone call. It's M for a reason, so if you don't like adult stories please don't click over.
