Once Upon a Happy Ever After - La série

"I got what I came for," I said savoring the maître d's horrified expression as the images my words summoned played across his face. The tips of his ears turned red as he did a quick about face and scurried off. "What have I done?" Ella leaned against the door frame of the coat closet we'd just defiled. Rather creatively, I'm not too modest to say. A backpack full of textbooks, ill-fitting thrift store clothes, it wasn't hard to piece together why she was upset. Ella was trying to pay her way through college and she'd just lost her only source of income. Because of me and what I'd done to her in that coat closet. But Ella didn't have to worry about anything. Her life was about to change. I'd make sure of it. Right after I showed her what a real Dom could make her feel.

I couldn’t take my eyes off her. But I couldn’t have her. Not now. Not ever. Not with this curse hanging over my head. Not a real curse, this isn’t a fairytale. But I am cursed with a very specific need. One that scares everyone I’ve ever told. One that makes people look at me with horror and disgust. I’ve stopped thinking that I’ll find someone who can handle what I need. Because no one can. But I can’t seem to keep my eyes off the stunning girl in a golden dress. It would take everything I had to keep my cool around her. Everything within me not to throw her over my shoulder and show her how much of a monster I truly was.

She was forbidden. But so pure, like fresh snow. I knew I had to have her despite her father’s standing in the company. I’d have her, I’d make her mine and she’d love every minute of it. She stared at me, wide-eyed and perfect pink lips slightly parted as I danced her across the ballroom. “This will be a night you’ll never forget, Alicia. I can promise you that.”

Abby was at the center of the biggest scandal on the Upper East Side, a menage with two men at last year’s Viennese Opera Ball. Her father, the powerful Richard Snow who’d kept her cloistered until she turned eighteen, did everything he could to minimize the media coverage, but Abby still ended up on “Page Six” news. This year, she's determined not to embarrass herself. She’s still going to have her fun with two of the hottest, most eligible bachelors in on this side of the river, she’s just not going to get caught this time.
