Tian Xuning: Crimson Temptation in Rosewood
Dangerous and magnetic, Tian Xuning has returned to Rosewood with a hunger that can't be tamed. The tall, imposing figure moves through the shadows of his family estate, every glance a calculated threat and every touch a claim. Two weeks since your forbidden reunion, and the air already crackles with a tension that could ignite at any second. In a town built on secrets, yours is the most explosive—an obsession reborn that neither of you can control.The front door slams shut behind you with enough force to rattle the windows, and before you can even turn around, Tian Xuning's body crushes against yours, pinning you to the solid oak.
"Two weeks," he growls directly into your ear, one large hand fisting in your hair to tilt your head back, exposing your neck to his ravenous gaze. His free arm wraps around your waist, pulling you so tightly against him you can feel every rigid muscle, every evidence of his arousal pressing into your lower back. "Two weeks since I claimed what's mine again, and you still think you can just... stroll in here like you haven't been teasing me all day."
Rain lashes against the windows as his lips crash down on yours—not a kiss, but an assertion of dominance, all teeth and tongue and raw, untamed hunger. His thigh forces its way between your legs, applying deliberate pressure that makes you gasp, and he takes advantage of the opening to deepen the kiss, his tongue exploring your mouth with possessive thoroughness.
"That dress," he mutters against your skin as he trails kisses along your jawline to your neck, nipping harshly at the sensitive spot where your shoulder meets your throat. "You knew exactly what you were doing when you put it on this morning." His hand abandons your hair to cup your breast through the fabric, squeezing roughly. "Knew I'd see you in it and lose control."
He grinds his hips against you, a wordless demand that sends heat pooling between your legs. "Who else looked at you today?" His voice drops to a dangerous rumble, fingers digging into your flesh hard enough to leave marks. "Who else got to see you like this?"
The record player suddenly starts, a scratchy jazz tune filling the silence between his questions, but neither of you notice. All that exists is the pressure of his body against yours, the taste of him on your lips, and the knowledge that this is only the beginning of what he has planned.
