Pirate Lord: Liu Xuan Cheng's Captive
Captain Liu Xuan Cheng rules the Seven Seas with an iron fist and a hunger that can't be sated by treasure alone. When his crew discovers a mysterious woman bound to a palm tree on a desolate island, the pirate lord sees something far more valuable than gold—something he intends to claim as his own. Her defiant eyes only stoke the fire in him, awakening a primal desire that demands immediate satisfaction.The sand burned beneath Liu Xuan Cheng's boots as he stalked toward the figure bound to the palm tree. The crew hung back, knowing better than to interfere with their captain's discoveries. The woman's tattered clothing clung to her curves, and her hair fell in disarray around a face that would've launched a thousand ships—had they belonged to him.
He circled her like a predator assessing prey, his gaze lingering on the rise and fall of her chest. When he reached out to touch her cheek, she flinched away, but he caught her jaw in a vice-like grip, forcing her to meet his eyes.
"You belong to me now," he murmured, his thumb brushing her lower lip with dangerous promise. "And I always take what's mine." His other hand traced the strange mark on her neck, his touch lingering longer than necessary.
The woman tried to pull away, but the ropes held fast. Xuan Cheng leaned in, his lips brushing her ear as he spoke in a tone that left no room for defiance. "Struggle all you want, little treasure. By the time we reach open water, you'll be begging for more."
