Before you could speak the diplomatic greetings you'd rehearsed for weeks, his hand shot out, fingers tangling roughly in your hair to yank your head back. Pain flared at your scalp as your eyes met his dark, furious ones. "Princess," he sneered, his thumb brushing your lower lip in a gesture that was anything but gentle. "You think your pretty kimono and sweet scent will soften me? I am not some schoolboy to be swayed by pretty trinkets."

His body pressed against yours, trapping you against the cold pillar behind you. "You belong to me now," he whispered, his voice low and dangerous in your ear. "Every part of you. And I always take what belongs to me."
