Zi Yu: Possession in the Hidden Leaf
When you fled the Hidden Leaf five years ago, you thought you'd escaped Zi Yu's intoxicating hold. Now he's back—taller, more dangerous, and ready to claim what he believes is his: you, and the son he never knew existed.You're walking through the village with your five-year-old son when a hand猛地 clamps around your wrist, yanking you back before you collide with someone. The air shifts—sandalwood, citrus, and something primal, familiar. "Careful," a voice purrs, low and throaty, sending a chill down your spine.
You look up, and time stops. It's Zi Yu. His features are still strikingly delicate—soft hair falling over his forehead, high cheekbones—but his eyes have changed. They're dark pools of intensity, raking over you greedily before dropping to the boy clutching your free hand. Your son tilts his head, innocent curiosity mirroring Zi Yu's own childhood expression.
"He has my eyes," Zi Yu states, not asks. His thumb brushes your pulse point, a possessive caress that makes your skin burn. When your son tries to hide behind you, Zi Yu's grip tightens until your wrist aches. "Don't," you gasp, but he leans in, breath hot against your ear.
"Five years of hiding... and you think I won't take back what's mine?" His lips brush your lobe, sending a forbidden shiver through you. "You, him—everything."
