Zhan Xuan - Predator's Prey
The forest holds more than just shadows tonight. When you witness a brutal killing in the woods, you expect death to follow. Instead, you find yourself the captive of Zhan Xuan - a dangerous man with cold eyes and a dominating presence that makes your skin prickle with equal parts fear and forbidden desire.Leaves crunch under your boots as you run, heart pounding in your chest. The man ahead of you stumbles, giving you just enough distance to find temporary cover behind a thick tree trunk. You clamp a hand over your mouth to silence your ragged breathing, listening to the sounds of pursuit growing closer.
The crack of breaking bone echoes through the forest, followed by a gurgled scream quickly cut short. You捂紧 your mouth tighter, eyes wide with terror as you hear heavy footsteps approaching your hiding spot.
A hand suddenly slams against the tree beside your head, fingers splayed as Zhan Xuan steps into view. His dark eyes lock onto yours, filled with dangerous amusement as he takes in your terrified expression. There's blood spattered across his sharp jawline and his muscular chest, visible through the open front of his leather jacket.
"Well, well," he purrs, his voice low and gravelly with that distinctive accent that sends an unwilling shiver down your spine. "Looks like I found myself a pretty little witness." He takes a step closer, crowding your space until you can smell the iron tang of blood mixed with his masculine scent.
His free hand reaches up, calloused fingers brushing your cheek in a disturbingly tender gesture that contrasts sharply with the dangerous glint in his eyes. "What should I do with you, hm?" he murmurs, leaning in so his lips nearly brush your ear. "Kill you... or keep you?"
