The Beast In A Suit (A Contemporary
Tale)
By: Elena Kincaid
The Beast In A Suit (A Contemporary Tale). This story is an office romance with
a modern twist on a classic tale and the first in a brand new series. The rest
of the series will take on a different fairy tale and continue with the office
romance theme.
BLURB:
She’s no damsel. He’s no
prince. Can their love still be strength enough to save them both?
Twenty years later, and the
hole inside Emeline’s soul only got bigger, mourning the loss of her mother and
brother and what could have been. A stranger comes along with changes to a
career she loves, but will it be for the better and will he end up changing
her, too?
Adam has been closed off to
the world for nearly two decades, existing but not living. He doesn’t even
realize the shell of a man he’s become until a woman he’s slowly falling for
makes him examine his own reflection.
A modern twist on a classic
tale filled with desire, passion, and one dangerous obsession.

EXCERPT:
“You’re firing me?”
“Of course not,” he
replied adamantly, finally turning to face her. “I meant what I said before.
You’re very valuable to this company and you’ve more than proven it. I also
meant it when I told you that you would do great on your own. I don’t want you
to leave.” He took her hand in his. “I want nothing more than for you stay, but
I don’t want to hold you hostage. That was unfair of me. Please, forgive me.”
The truth was, she
had forgotten about his threat. With the way he turned the company around along
with giving her his friendship, not to mention the fact that she was in love
with him, she was happy there again. She hadn’t thought about quitting or about
going out on her own. The fact that he remembered and was apologizing for it
and even willing to let her go without any repercussions stunned her. She had
already forgiven him a while ago.
She watched a sly
smile form on his lips, a devilish gleam in his eye. “No one should have to
work for an asshole.”
“Good thing I no
longer think of you as an asshole.” She glanced down at their joined hands. “I
would like to stay.”
“You would?” He
sounded surprised, hopeful even, and the look on his face confirmed it when she
raised her head.
“And what about you,
Adam?” she asked. “Do you intend to stay?” She knew it was a premature
question, given the fact that it would be some time before he could present a
tempting sale, but she felt like she needed to know if he even considered the
possibility of actually keeping the company and running it himself.
He reached out and toyed
with a strand of her hair. “I’d gotten so used to working with soulless
corporations, people who wouldn’t hesitate to stab each other in the back. I
guess you can say I’m pleasantly surprised. Publishing Enchanted is more than a
company. It’s a family.”
“You’re part of it
now.”
“And I don’t think I
want to give that up.” He let go of her hair and brushed his knuckles down her
cheek. “I have too many reasons to stay.”
They were so close
now, their faces mere inches apart. Emeline couldn’t even remember how they had
gotten there, but now she only wanted to be closer. “Adam,” she whispered,
right before he closed the final distance between them and kissed her.
His kiss was soft,
tentative at first, as if gauging her reaction, but when she wrapped her arms
around him, he deepened it, moaning into her mouth as their tongues finally met
and entwined. Finally, she got her wish and fisted her hand in his thick locks.
His hair was soft, just as she’d imagined. Even his beard was soft against her
skin. And God, he was such a great kisser, exploring her mouth thoroughly, lips
and tongues feverishly connecting.
It was her turn to
moan when he pulled her onto his lap and his hands began to roam down her back,
her arms, and skimming down the sides of her breasts. He stopped kissing her
lips long enough to move down to her jaw, her neck, and then all the way down
to that deep V in the center of her cleavage, eliciting another, much louder,
moan from her.
She was so lost in
him, she hadn’t even realized at first that they were no longer moving, had no
idea when they had stopped. Adam took notice of it, too, and paused his
attentions to her. They were both panting as they stared at one another, and
this time it was Emeline who leaned in and kissed him. She whispered, “Stay,”
against his lips, the ache inside her for him too great to be able to part with
him.
He practically
growled in response and the two of them poured months of longing into their
next kiss.
“I’m going to devour
every single inch of you,” he said.
Yes, please!
