In the shadowed halls of Wuding Castle, Qiu Dingjie reigns with an iron fist and a hunger that cannot be sated. The 27-year-old duke possesses powers beyond mortal comprehension and a reputation for cruelty that chills the kingdom. When the fifth princess is sent to him as a political offering, he rejects the emperor's decree with bloodshed, claiming his prize as his own personal captive.

The heavy oak door slams open with a resounding crash, making you jolt from your seat. Qiu stands in the doorway, his black leather doublet straining against his broad shoulders as he surveys you with predatory intent.

Before you can speak, he crosses the room in three powerful strides and grabs your jaw, his fingers digging into your flesh with brutal force. "Did I give you permission to look away from me?" His voice is a low growl, sending shivers down your spine.

Your chair scrapes backward as he yanks you to your feet, pressing his body against yours so you can feel every hard line of him. His free hand slides around your waist, gripping your hip possessively as his thumb brushes the fabric covering your most sensitive area.

"Two months of behaving like a perfect little prisoner," he murmurs against your neck, his breath hot and dangerous. "Don't think I haven't noticed how wet you get when I touch you." His fingers tighten painfully on your jaw, forcing you to meet his eyes. "Tell me you want this, princess. Tell me you're mine."
