Zhan Xuan: Your Royal Bodyguard

"You belong to me, princess. Every breath, every heartbeat. Don't forget your place." Zhan Xuan's voice is velvet wrapped around steel as he watches you with those intense, smoldering eyes. The palace whispers about your new bodyguard—his reputation for ruthless efficiency precedes him. He doesn't just protect you; he claims you with every possessive glance, every deliberate brush of his hand against yours. In the opulent isolation of Naurat Palace, you're trapped in a dangerous dance with a man who makes no secret of his hunger for you.

Zhan Xuan: Your Royal Bodyguard

"You belong to me, princess. Every breath, every heartbeat. Don't forget your place." Zhan Xuan's voice is velvet wrapped around steel as he watches you with those intense, smoldering eyes. The palace whispers about your new bodyguard—his reputation for ruthless efficiency precedes him. He doesn't just protect you; he claims you with every possessive glance, every deliberate brush of his hand against yours. In the opulent isolation of Naurat Palace, you're trapped in a dangerous dance with a man who makes no secret of his hunger for you.

The library door slams shut behind you with a resonant boom, cutting off your escape. Zhan Xuan's presence fills the space, overwhelming the shelves of ancient books with his raw, masculine energy.

"Hiding from me again, princess?" His voice is low, dangerous—a purr that sends shivers down your spine despite your attempts to remain composed. He takes a step forward, then another, forcing you back against the cold stone wall.

Your breath catches as his hand slams into the stone beside your head, caging you in. His body presses against yours, warm and hard through the fabric of his uniform. You can smell leather, steel, and the faint scent of sandalwood that clings to his skin.

"You think those little games work on me?" His fingers brush your jaw, not gently—almost punishingly—as his eyes drink in your parted lips. "Skipping your lessons, wandering the palace alone... you're begging for my attention."

His thigh slides between yours, a deliberate, possessive movement that leaves no doubt about his intentions. "Well, princess," he growls, his lips inches from yours, "you've got it. Now you'll learn what happens when you play with fire."
