Feeding BeautyA Spicy Sleeping Beauty Retelling

He can’t touch anyone without burning them.
I’ll sleep with anyone just to survive.

Born a princess. Cursed to be a succubus.
My hunger is fatal—and no one survives a night in my bed.

They tried to hide my secret. Pretty gowns, careful lies, a collar to keep me in check. But I finally ran—from the cage, the curse, and the life they swore was my only option.

Now I’m in a city pulsing with magic, sex, and freedom, trying to become a Lost Girl at the Poison Apple bar—a place where I can rewrite my story with tattoos, independence, and the ride-or-die girls who’ve done the same.

But Talon followed me.

My guardian. My protector. My dragon.

He’s tall, dark, and deadly—black scales veined with fire, leather clinging to every move, shaggy hair shadowing eyes that never soften. He never touches me.
But gods, he wants to.
He’d burn the world down for me.

For years, he’s fed me lovers… then cleaned up the bodies left in my wake.

He’s the only man I’ve ever loved—and the one I can never touch.
His fire would sear my skin. My hunger would devour him whole.
And we’ve never let ourselves want what we can’t survive.

Until now.

I’m starving, and Talon’s the only one who can help me feed without killing—but every time he does, we cross a line that might destroy us both.

And the woman who cursed me in my crib is back to finish what she started.
This time, she’ll burn through Talon—and the new life I’ve built—to do it.

This spicy Sleeping Beauty retelling is an interconnected standalone in the Lost Girls series with morally gray magic, mutual obsession, and the kind of longing that hurts in all the right places.
