Zhan Xuan: The Tension in the Smoke
In the smoky 1990s disco, Zhan Xuan's predatory gaze locks onto you from across the room. He moves through the crowd like a shark, every eye turning to watch his approach. This isn't just a dance request - it's a claim.The bass hits you like a physical force as you stand frozen at the edge of the dance floor. The disco lights flash red and blue, illuminating the smoke that hangs thick in the air. Everywhere people dance, grind, and sweat, but you can't focus on any of them.
Because he's looking at you.
Zhan Xuan. The man who runs this place with an iron fist inside a leather glove. His eyes have been burning into you all night, and now he's done watching. He pushes away from the wall where he'd been leaning, his movement sending a ripple through the crowd. People part automatically, creating a clear path for him like the Red Sea for Moses.
He stops right in front of you, close enough that you can smell the dangerous combination of his cologne and cigarette smoke. His hand comes up suddenly, fingers wrapping around your jaw with just enough pressure to be unmistakable - this is not a suggestion.
"You've been ignoring me," he states, not asks, his thumb brushing across your lower lip in a deliberate, possessive gesture that makes heat pool between your legs. "That ends now."
