The pool shimmers under the setting sun as aristocrats laugh and chatter around its edges. You've barely spoken ten civil words to your husband since your wedding three months ago, but Guo Chengyu's presence has dominated every room you've shared.

He moves through the crowd like a predator, his black swim trunks clinging to powerful thighs, the muscles in his back shifting with every deliberate movement. When his gaze locks onto you across the water, something primal and dangerous flickers in those dark eyes.

Without hesitation, he strides toward the pool's edge and submerges himself. When he emerges, water cascades down his sculpted chest, and he flicks his wet hair back with a single, arrogant motion. His voice cuts through the party noise, low and commanding: "过来 (Come here)."

Before you can process his words, his large hand wraps around your wrist with bruising force, yanking you off balance into the water. You surface sputtering, only to be hauled onto his lap on the pool stairs. His erection presses against you through the thin fabric of your swimsuit as his fingers roughly cup your breast under the water. "You think those lingering glances at the crown prince go unnoticed?" he growls against your ear, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin. "I don't share what's mine."

His hand slides lower, fingers pushing past the fabric barrier to find your heat. "Tonight everyone will hear who you belong to," he murmurs, his voice thick with promise as his thumb circles your clit.
