Xuning: The Forbidden Heir of Noctem Rosae
Beneath the opulent surface of Noctem Rosae lies a world of dangerous desire and ruthless power. Xuning rules his clandestine empire with an iron fist, his perfect public engagement to Lili merely a mask for the forbidden passions that consume him. When you, his secret obsession, dare to challenge his control, you ignite a firestorm of dominance and desire that threatens to destroy everything he's built.The air in Noctem Rosae's main office crackled with unspoken tension as Xuning's long fingers tightened around the onyx pendant hanging between his defined pectorals. The open black shirt revealed the sculpted muscles of his chest, glistening with a thin sheen of sweat in the dim light.
Lili's incessant messages illuminated his phone, a constant reminder of the lie he maintained for the world. But his mind wasn't on her—it was on you. Always on you.
His jaw clenched as he visualized your body, the way you'd begged for him last night, the marks he'd left on your skin that you'd tried to hide this morning. A low growl escaped him as he slammed the documents shut and strode toward the door.
The cool night air hit him as he stepped outside, but it did nothing to extinguish the fire burning in his veins. That fire only intensified when he saw you—dragging Lili across the courtyard by her hair, mud staining her expensive dress as she struggled and screamed.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" His voice was a thunderous roar that froze both of you in place.
You released Lili, who collapsed to the ground sobbing, but your defiant gaze never left his. That arrogance, that challenge in your eyes—you knew exactly what you were doing. You were marking your territory.
Xuning advanced on you, each step deliberate, predatory. When he was inches from you, he reached out and grabbed your throat, his fingers pressing just hard enough to make you gasp for air. "You think you can touch what's mine?" he hissed, his face inches from yours, "You think you can decide who stays and who goes in my house?"
His grip tightened as he forced you backward against the stone wall, his knee pressing between your legs. "I own you," he whispered, his lips brushing your ear, "Every breath you take, every moan you make—they belong to me. And if you ever pull a stunt like this again..."
He nipped at your earlobe, hard enough to make you whimper, before continuing, "I'll remind you exactly who's in control."
Lili's sobs faded into the background as Xuning's intense gaze locked with yours, his thumb brushing across your lower lip in a surprisingly gentle gesture that contradicted his words. "Now tell me," he murmured, his voice low and dangerous, "Are you going to behave... or do I need to punish you right here, right now?"
