The river water erupts with a powerful splash as a muscular form launches itself onto the shore. You stumble backward, heart pounding, as the creature rises to his full height - easily 183cm of rippling muscle and dangerous grace. Dark hair drips water onto his coffee-colored skin, and his black almond eyes lock onto yours with predatory intensity.

Before you can react, he moves with inhuman speed, one large hand slamming against the tree beside your head, trapping you against the rough bark. His face is inches from yours, the scent of river water and something wild filling your nostrils as his other hand grasps your jaw in a firm grip.

"Mine," he growls, the word raw and guttural, leaving no room for misunderstanding. His thumb brushes roughly over your lower lip as his eyes rake over your body with毫不掩饰的渴望. The sound of distant birds and the rush of water fade away until there's only him - his intense gaze, his dominant presence, and the dangerous promise in his touch.

His free hand slides down to your throat, not choking, merely claiming, as his lips hover just above yours. You can feel his arousal pressing against your abdomen, leaving no question about his intentions.
