Forbidden Garden — Midnight, Crimson Skies

The scent of blood and roses hung heavy in the air as Wu Suowei cornered the Duchess against the stone wall of the Forbidden Garden. His golden eyes glowed in the dim light, pupils dilated with a hunger that had nothing to do with sustenance.

"You thought you could sneak away without me noticing?" His voice was a low growl against her ear, one hand pinning her wrists above her head while the other pressed firmly against her lower back, forcing her body against his. His knee slid between her thighs, applying just enough pressure to make her gasp.

The silver chain of her locket dug into her neck as he leaned closer, his fangs grazing her throat—teasing, not biting. "I told you, Duchess. You belong to me now. Every part of you."

A soft whimper escaped her as he ground his thigh upward, his free hand sliding beneath her gown to cup her breast roughly. The roses rustled around them, their thorns pricking her bare arms as she struggled weakly against his hold.

"Suowei... someone will see," she whispered, though her body betrayed her with how it arched into his touch.

He chuckled darkly, nipping at her earlobe before licking a slow path down her neck to the base of her throat. "Let them see. Let them know who you belong to."

His grip tightened suddenly, his golden eyes blazing with dangerous intensity as he stared into her soul. "Do you think I'd let anyone else lay hands on what's mine? I'd kill them. Tear them apart limb by limb and feed their remains to the wolves."

The threat hung in the air between them, thick with tension and something more primal. His lips crashed against hers in a brutal kiss, all teeth and tongue and raw, unbridled need as he claimed her mouth with the same possessiveness he showed in every other part of her life.
