Beauty & the Beast: The Tale Continues

Chapter 30 - Fear of Reality, Part 1

Author's Note: Disney is the rightful owner of this franchise, and I only own this story and the OCs and such.

Also, I am not entirely good when it comes to T-rated sex scenes, so (if you prefer) you'll just have to imagine it yourself.

Soon after the celebration was over, Maurice was heading back to his workshop room when he noticed Adam's uncle by the front doors, holding a luggage suitcase.

"Nathaniel? Are you leaving?"

The elderly ruler nodded his head, and replied, "While I am happy for Adam and Belle reaching the next chapter of their lives, I have my own story that is in need of repairs... and, speaking of which, would you happen to know where the newlyweds have run off to? I don't recall seeing them leave anywhere."

Maurice chuckled, and he said, "If I am not mistaken, I believe that they are getting ready to enjoy their honeymoon."

Somewhere in Paris, France

"Well, you certainly aren't letting any time go to waste."

"I'm only taking precautions, my love."

Belle and Adam were now inside of the castle that belonged to his mother, and it was equally beautiful as Adam's own, but this castle had a more female touch.

Also, Adam was currently walking up the stairs, heading to the master bedroom, while Belle was still being carried by him bridal-style, and her arms were currently wrapped around his neck.

"I'm not too heavy for you, am I?" wondered Belle. "You look a little tired."

Adam chuckled, and replied, "I'll be fine, Belle, don't you worry... and, um, we are going to... you know... tonight?"

"That's what I assumed," said Belle, as she started blushing. "Unless you'd rather wait-"

"I've waited almost a decade or so for you to come into my life," reminded Adam, giving her a smirk. "Do not mess with my emotions right now..."

As he continued to walk towards the master bedroom, Belle started to feel a little nervous about what would be happening soon.

How would I even start? I'm not one of those girls that can instantly act... lustful... at the snap of a finger.

Reading about stuff like this in literature was one thing, but in reality, for the moment, she had no idea what to do or what to expect.

Should I 'say' something that would... no, that wouldn't be something I would do... maybe if, um, I lay myself on the bed a certain-

Suddenly, Belle's thoughts were interrupted when, after entering the room, Adam playfully threw her onto the bed.

"What was that for?" asked Belle, who felt a little annoyed but also couldn't help but laugh at what he did.

"Just testing to see how light you are," replied a teasing Adam, who then caught a pillow that Belle tossed at him. "It's not like you could do the same to me."

Belle smirked at her husband, and raised an eyebrow. "Says who?"

Adam began to laugh, but to her surprise, he started walking into the restroom. "What are you doing?"

"Just giving you a moment of privacy, my love," explained the young prince. "So that you can do... eh, whatever you have to do to prepare yourself."

Then, after Adam was in the restroom, Belle remembered the gift that Plumette had given her at the dining establishment, and she walked over to her luggage to start searching for it.

"Alright, Adam, no need to be afraid," he muttered to himself, while looking at his reflection.

The young man had removed his wedding outfit, and was wearing only a pair of boxers underneath pajama pants, while the rest of his upper body was left uncovered.

"It was only a bad dream... one that you have not re-lived since you first told Belle about it."

Adam took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment, and said, "Do not think about that horrible mistake... this is your first time..."

As for Belle, she was looking at her reflection in the mirror, but instead of her wedding dress, she was wearing a thin-strapped, dark blue, silk-made piece of revealing lingerie.

I... suppose I would wear something like this...

Every few seconds, however, Belle found herself trying to make adjustments to her new piece of clothing.

Too much leg... no, now that's not enough leg... how were they able to guess my proper size for-

"Belle? Are you alright?"

"Oh, I'm fine," called out Belle, realizing too late that she spoke a little too high-pitched. "I mean, uh... just waiting for you."

She went back to the bed, and casually sat on top of it, waiting patiently for him to come out.

A few minutes later, however, when Adam stepped out of the restroom, and to his surprise, he saw Belle moving around on the bed, changing her body position every five seconds.

Why is she... wait... that clothing... why does it seem so-

"Oh, Adam!" cried Belle, blushing as she realized that he was standing in front of her. "I was just, um..."

"You look... wow..." said Adam, with his feelings of lust growing more. "You're breathtaking..."

Belle remained silent, continuing to blush but also feeling embarrassed, and as Adam sat next to her, she said, "Adam, I... I'm sorry if this is not..."

"Oh, Belle, don't apologize for anything," said Adam, giving her a warm smile. "No one ever said this would be perfect right off the bat."

"True, but... I feel like I should have a better understanding on how to do this the right way-"

Adam chuckled, and he shook his head, saying, "Well, that's your problem right there, my love... don't listen to your mind, listen to your heart."

To emphasize his point, Adam placed his hand over her heart, but after seeing Belle slightly raise her eyebrow, and that he was close to touching her breast, the young man pulled his hand back.

"Sorry."

Belle let out a small giggle, and said, "Well, that is one way to start, I guess, but... um, maybe we should start with..."

"Right ahead of you, my love," replied Adam, and the two of them began to share a slow and passionate kiss.

[If it helps, imagine the song 'Love Me Like You Do' in the background]

Then, a few minutes later, their kissing became more deeper and included some soft lip-biting, as well as tongue-related action, and while Belle wrapped her arms around Adam's neck, Adam placed his hands on her hips.

"Belle... we don't have to.." He began to say, while their foreheads were pressed against each others, but a deep-breathing Belle shook her head.

"No, Adam, I... I want to, and... I want you..."

Then, all of their lustful feelings took over completely, and now, Belle was lying across the bed while Adam was on top of her.

As their make-out session continued, Belle's fingers became intertwined within Adam's hair, and then, she started moving her hands down his back, as well as placing them on his chest.

In Adam's case, one of his hands moved from Belle's back to her right thigh, while his other hand was softly caressing her cleavege.

Soon after that, while continuing to kiss her, Adam began pulling down the straps of her lingerie, and he slowly started taking it off her body.

Once the revealing clothing was on the floor, the actual love-making began... and for Belle, there were no words to describe what she was feeling right now.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for Adam... because while part of him was loving every second of this special moment, the other part was in his mind, re-living the nightmare that he had tried so hard to lock away.

"No... it wasn't my fault..."

Belle opened her eyes, and noticed that Adam was talking to himself.

"Belle... I'm sorry..."

"Adam?" said Belle, feeling confused.

To her surprise, Adam started to look like he was in terrible pain, and all of the lustful feeling inside of Belle went away as she put a halt to their sexual intercourse. "Adam!"

The young man opened his eyes, and saw that he was back in the private castle, with a living Belle in front of him.

"Adam, what's wrong?"

For a moment, Adam remained silent, and then, he hung his head down, feeling somewhat ashamed.

"Belle, forgive me, I... didn't mean to... ruin this for you."

"Ruin this? Adam, you didn't ruin anything," replied Belle, speaking the truth. "It was... well, I can't exactly describe it right now, but you did not ruin... or did... did I..."

Knowing right away was she was about to say, Adam instantly shook his head. "No, no, no, no, of course not, Belle, I... I loved every part of it as much as you did, but... I just don't want to end up hurting you."

"You won't, Adam," replied Belle. "I know this for a fact."

Adam nodded his head, and then, he said, "Um... if it's alright with you, Belle, I would like, er, to get some sleep..."

Belle nodded, as well, and while Adam laid across the bed, placing his head on top of the pillow, she brought herself closer to him, placing an arm over his chest. "Just... promise me that you'll stay... in here... with me... and won't leave me... alone..."

"I won't, Belle," replied Adam, as the two of them felt their eyelids trying to close themselves, and he also let out a yawn. "I promise... to stay by your side..."

A few minutes later, they were both sound asleep, thinking peaceful thoughs and having some wonderful dreams... except for the fact that, while a tiny part of Belle wanted to know what the second time would be like, Adam had no intentions of having sex with her again anytime soon.
