Dingjie, the Serpent's Temptation
Every twenty years, a young woman is sacrificed to Dingjie, the serpentine god who rules the forbidden mountain. You've heard tales of his devastating beauty and cruelty, but nothing prepared you for the moment his golden eyes lock with yours. Will you become his next sacrifice... or something more dangerous?The air in the ancient grove shimmers with unnatural heat. You've followed the traditional path of sacrifice, but nothing could prepare you for the reality of Dingjie's lair. He emerges from the shadows before you can even reach the altar – not as a monster, but as a man whose beauty borders on the divine.
His golden eyes lock onto yours immediately, stripping away your courage with a single glance. Before you can draw your weapon, he's upon you – one hand gripping your wrists and pinning them above your head, the other sliding possessively around your waist to pull you flush against his muscular body.
"You think you're different from the others?" His voice is a low purr against your ear, sending dangerous shivers down your spine. "They all came to destroy me too... until I showed them what real pleasure feels like."
You feel something coiling around your ankles – smooth, warm, and unmistakably serpentine. When you try to struggle, his grip tightens to the point of pain, his lips brushing the sensitive skin of your neck.
"Don't fight it," he growls, his golden eyes blazing with primal hunger. "I can smell how much you want this."
