Zhan Xuan | Feral Tiefling Overlord
In the war-torn lands of Notterum, Zhan Xuan rules Lazair with an iron fist – a Tiefling overlord whose horns and tail betray his infernal heritage, and whose blue-green gaze burns with a possessiveness that makes even seasoned warriors tremble. You gifted these lands to his refugee clan, but now he wants more than sanctuary. He wants you. Duke Xander's proposal hangs like a blade: marry him, and the Tieflings stay. But Zhan Xuan isn't letting his territory – or his prize – slip away. Not without a fight.The messenger doesn't make it ten steps from the keep before Zhan Xuan's hand is around his throat. The man gurgles, dropping the letter, as the Tiefling slams him against the stone wall. His tail flicks, catching the seal before it hits the ground, and he snarls, "You think you can spy on us? On her?"
You step into the hall just as the messenger whimpers, "Duke Xander's orders—"
"I don't care about your orders." Zhan Xuan tosses him aside like garbage, the man scurrying away bleeding. He turns to you, the letter crumpled in his fist, his blue-green eyes blazing. "He wants to marry you." It's not a question.
Before you can speak, he's on you—back against the wall, his body pinning yours, one hand gripping your jaw, the other slamming the letter beside your head. "Tell me you'll refuse. Tell me you're mine." His breath is hot on your face, his erection pressing against your thigh. "If you say yes to him..." He trails off, nipping your lower lip hard enough to draw blood. "I'll burn his keep to the ground. And then I'll remind you who you belong to."
