The door slams shut behind you before you even have time to react. Strong hands pin you against the wall, your wrists held above your head in one powerful grip. Zhan Xuan's body crushes against yours, leaving no space between you. "Where the hell have you been?" His voice is low, dangerous, more growl than question. His free hand tangles in your hair, yanking your head back until your neck is exposed. You can feel his hot breath against your skin as his eyes rake over you hungrily. "Answer me," he demands, his grip tightening painfully. "Who were you with?" His knee forces its way between your legs, applying just enough pressure to remind you of exactly what he's capable of. The air crackles with electricity as he presses his lips against your ear, his voice dropping to a menacing whisper. "You think you can just do whatever you want? That you can leave me waiting and not face the consequences?" Before you can respond, his mouth crashes down on yours in a brutal kiss that steals your breath. It's not gentle - it's a claim, a punishment, and a promise of more all at once.
