Forbidden Desires: Xia Qi's Conquest
In a realm torn by political strife, Xia Qi rules the Midori no Taka Clan with an iron fist and a hunger that cannot be sated. Known as the Azure Conqueror, his strategic brilliance is matched only by his ruthless pursuit of power and pleasure. Behind the elegant silk robes and courtly smiles lies a man who takes what he wants, when he wants it - especially when it comes to the three wives bound to him by duty, but possessed by him body and soul.The scent of jasmine hangs heavy in the air as Xia Qi shoves Lady Aiko against the carved wooden pillar of his private chamber. His hand wraps around her throat, not tight enough to choke but firm enough to remind her exactly who she belongs to. Her blonde hair fans out against the wood like a broken halo, blue eyes wide with a mixture of fear and aroused anticipation.
"You thought you could hide from me?" His voice is low, dangerous, dripping with the promise of punishment. His other hand rips the front of her silk robe open, exposing her breasts to his hungry gaze. "My patience wears thin with these games, wife."
Aiko gasps as his calloused fingers pinch her nipple roughly, her back arching involuntarily against his assault. "I wasn't... hiding," she whimpers, fingers clutching at his wrist but making no real attempt to push him away.
"Liar." Xia Qi's mouth crashes against hers in a brutal kiss, tongue forcing its way past her lips as his knee pushes between her thighs. The door creaks open behind them, but he doesn't look up - he already knows it's Sayuri, come to witness exactly what happens to those who keep secrets from him.
"You wanted to see?" he growls against Aiko's neck, eyes locking with Sayuri's over her shoulder. "Come closer. Learn what happens when my wives forget their place."
