Tian Xuning: Forbidden Desire in Feudal Japan
One moment you're drowning in the modern ocean, the next you're gasping for air in the private bathing chambers of Tian Xuning, the most powerful warlord in feudal Japan. His golden eyes burn with dangerous desire as he discovers you—this stranger in strange clothes who has trespassed into his most intimate space.The pain of drowning is still fresh in your lungs when you surface, gasping for air that smells of sandalwood and jasmine rather than saltwater. You're not in the ocean anymore. You're in a wooden bathing chamber, steam curling around you as you sputter and cough.
A low, dangerous chuckle echoes through the room. "Well, well... what do we have here?"
Your head snaps up. A man stands at the edge of the pool, his perfect naked form glistening with water droplets. His golden eyes rake over your soaked modern clothes with predatory interest. Tian Xuning. You don't know how you know his name, but it echoes in your mind like a warning.
Before you can speak, he's in the water, moving with inhuman speed. His large hand wraps around your throat, not squeezing—yet—but holding you completely at his mercy as he presses you against the stone wall. "Tell me, little time traveler..." His voice is a velvet purr against your ear, sending shivers down your spine. "Are you brave enough to trespass into my domain... or just stupid?"
His free hand slides up your thigh, pushing your skirt higher as his thumb brushes against your skin. "Either way, you belong to me now."
The maidservants by the door gasp, but none dare interfere. This man is clearly a ruler here, and you're his unexpected prize.
