Beauty and the Beast: The Tale Continues
Chapter 5 - Celebration, Part 2
Author's Note: Disney is the rightful owner of "Beauty & the Beast", while I just own the story.
As the day came to an end, and nightfall had arrived, with the moon rising up into the sky, Belle was now the one looking for her special someone.
"Adam, where are you?"
Suddenly, she noticed a trail of petals starting to appear, and at first, Belle imagined that they were meant for someone else, but then again, why did she feel like it was meant for her?
So, she began following the trail of petals, curious to see where it would take her.
"Adam?"
The trail led her to the West Wing, with the last petal placed in front of a door, and as she opened it, Belle could not believe what was in front of her: a rather large pile of many, many rose petals.
"Um... Adam?"
Then, a hand stuck out of the pile, and Belle walked over to grab onto it, pulling out whoever it was connected to... to her surprise, she had pulled out Adam, but he wasn't wearing a shirt.
"Adam, what is going on?" wondered Belle, who was now having mixed feelings inside herself. "How did you get these many petals, and... what happened to your..."
She found herself becoming speechless while noticing Adam's well-built upper body, and her heart started to beat a little more faster than usual.
He certainly takes good care of himself.
"I'm ready if you are, Belle."
The young woman started to blush heavily, and it was feeling as if the temperature in the room was going up. "R-ready for what exactly?"
"You know what I mean, Belle," chuckled Adam, and before she could say anything else, he playfully growled at her, just like he'd done earlier that day.
That growl started to increase her lustful desire for Adam, but she found herself saying, "I... uh... I don't... we aren't... no..."
Her mind, however, was saying something else.
Are you mad or something? This is perfect!
"It's alright if you are afraid, Belle," replied Adam. "I am, too... this is a first for the both of us..."
Before Belle could give a response, the young prince added, "I would be honored if you'd be my first and only one to have this experience with."
Oh, heaven help me, thought Belle, who was trying her hardest not to give in to her sexual desires. "Adam... I do... love you, but..."
"It'll be fine, Belle," growled Adam, speaking in a more beast-like and deeper tone. "We can at least try..."
Belle was about to reach her breaking point, and her mind was yelling at her as she replied, "Adam... I really... um..."
"Would you prefer I had a beard?" He asked, and he gave her a more seductive growl, causing Belle to let out a small squeak before she started to speak.
"How would I... without ruining the dress?"
Adam chuckled, and in the same deep tone of voice, he replied, "I can fix that."
The young prince gently grabbed ahold of Belle's soft hands, pulling her towards himself, and began using his teeth to remove her white dress from her beautiful body.
"Adam... I... love you..."
With one side of the dress's top half removed, Adam gave her a toothy grin, and said, "I know you do, Belle... and I love you, as well."
"Adam..." replied Belle, whose eyes started to water up. "I... would also be honored to..."
After the other side of her dress was safely taken off, Belle found herself closing her eyes as Adam slowly continued with removing the rest.
"... Belle?"
"Yes, Adam?"
"BELLE!"
"AAAAAGGGHHHH!"
Suddenly, Belle found herself lifting her head up, eyes wide open, and saw that she was in the library, still wearing her celebration dress.
"Belle?"
She turned around, and found herself looking at Adam, who was also still in his celebration outfit, but with a concerned facial expression.
"Adam..." gasped Belle, who was slowly realizing that she'd been asleep. "You're still... in your clothes..."
"Um, yes, of course," replied a confused and concerned Adam. "As are you, Belle, but... what does that have to do with anything?"
Belle took a small gulp, and she shook her head while starting to get up from the table. "Um, nothing, Adam, I just... it was..."
"Are you sure you're okay, Belle?" He asked. "It almost looked like you were getting ready to cry."
Belle nodded her head, and said, "I am absolutely fine, Adam, and if it's alright with you, I would like to go to bed."
Then, before Adam could even speak, Belle walked out of the library as quickly as possible, leaving him very confused.
A few minutes later
"Alright, Belle, get a hold of yourself," said the young woman, who was now pacing back and forth in her room. "You were simply only dreaming about Adam in a... bed of rose petals... and looking very... and just wanting to..."
The image of a shirtless Adam appeared in her mind again, and Belle let out a groan as she collapsed on top of her bed. "Why is this happening? I never wanted to... but, I mean, not at this current moment in time... even though I'm sure we would have been more than satisfactory with... uggghhh..."
Knock-knock-knock!
"Belle, are you sure you're alright?" asked Adam, still concerned for the woman that he loved.
"Yes, Adam, I am completely fine," replied Belle, but with an unusual higher pitched voice. "See you in the morning."
Part of Adam wanted to question Belle more, but he figured that she might just be exhausted from all of the dancing they did, so he said, "Well... good-night, then, Belle... I love you."
"I love you, too," she replied, and once Belle knew that Adam was gone, she placed a pillow over her face, starting to scream into it.

Now back inside his bedroom in the West Wing, Adam sat down on his bed, wondering what in the world was happening to Belle.
"I've never seen her look so... flustered before," muttered Adam. "Hopefully, at breakfast, she can explain to me what's going on."
The Next Day
Adam was already halfway through with his morning meal, but Belle had hardly touched her own plate.
"Are you sure that you are alright, Belle?"
"Huh?" Belle looked up at Adam, and she blinked a few times before. "Yes, I am-"
He was not going to fall for that again.
"Belle," he growled, in a soft but very concerned tone. "Please tell me what's wrong."
To his surprise, Belle started to blush, and she replied, "Adam, if I could, I would, but... I just can't... yet..."
"Well, why not?" questioned Adam, who began to walk over to her. "I'm becoming worried for you, Belle."
The young woman closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and once Adam was next to her, Belle asked, "You trust me, right?"
"Of course, I do," replied Adam, softly placing his hand on the right side of her face. "I trust you... and will love you for evermore..."
Opening her brown-colored eyes to look into his beautiful blue-colored ones, Belle gave him a smile, and said, "Well, when the time is... right... I will tell you... but for the moment, I... just can't... is that alright?"
Adam sighed, and he reluctantly nodded his head. "If that is what you wish, then so be it... but I want you to know, Belle, that you should never be afraid to tell me anything. I will always be here to listen to what you have to say."
Belle nodded her head, but then, her face started turning red as she realized how close they were now to each other.
It wasn't long until Adam realized this, as well, and before Belle could say anything else, the two of them ended up sharing a slow and passionate kiss.
For Adam, it was just as wonderful as the previous times they had kissed, but in Belle's case, there was a little something more that wasn't there before, and it made the young woman place her hands on Adam's shirt, suddenly starting to get a tighter grip on it.
"Um, Belle...? I need the shirt still."
Belle quickly released Adam's shirt out of her hands, and continued to blush as she said, "Sorry about that."
Adam just gave her a warm smile, and replied, "It's fine, Belle... I just wish you would tell me what is wrong."
"And, lilke I said to you already, Adam, I will tell you," reminded Belle. "But only when I feel like the time is right... if you do not mind."
"I will be fine, my dear," replied Adam, and the two of them shared another kiss, but this time, Belle was telling herself to remain calm and in-control.
Author's Note: So, what do you think will (eventually) happen first? Adam proposing, or Belle telling him about the dream?
