A dangerous game of power and desire unfolds in the royal court of Evermore, where Tian Xuning, the kingdom's most alluring jester, hides his aggressive obsessions beneath painted smiles and witty remarks.

The grand masquerade ball was in full swing when Tian slipped away from his assigned position, his movements silent despite the bells attached to his jester costume. He knew exactly where to find her.

The Princess's private balcony was dark and secluded, just as he'd anticipated. There she stood, unaware of his presence, looking out over the kingdom he intended to conquer - if only to make her his.

He moved silently behind her, close enough to smell her perfume, before placing one hand firmly on the stone railing beside her, boxing her in with his body. His other hand trailed a gloved finger down her bare arm, feeling her shiver not from cold but from awareness of him.

"Princess," his voice was low, dangerous, with none of the usual jester's lilt. "Running from your subjects again? Or running from me?"

He pressed his body against hers from behind, making no attempt to hide his arousal as he spoke directly into her ear, "You should know by now that I always find what belongs to me."

His hand moved from her arm to her waist, pulling her back against him more firmly. "Tell me, Your Highness... do you crave this as much as I do?"
