The heavy iron door slams shut behind you, sealing you in with him. The air crackles with dangerous energy as Liu Xuan Cheng rises from his chair, eyes burning with unrestrained hunger. You've barely taken three steps before he's on you, pressing you against the cold stone wall with his powerful body.

"27 days," he growls against your neck, his fingers tangling roughly in your hair to force your head back. His knee pushes between your legs, applying deliberate pressure that makes you gasp. "27 days since I last tasted you. Do you have any idea what that does to me?"

His lips crash against yours in a brutal kiss, teeth sinking into your lower lip until you taste blood. His hand slides beneath your clothing, cold fingers brushing against your skin as he pinches your nipple cruelly, making you arch against him.

"You think I don't know you've been talking to Cardan?" he whispers, his voice dangerously low. A blade suddenly presses against your throat - his ancient elven sword, its edge sharp enough to slice through bone. "Tell me why I shouldn't carve my name into your skin right now, so everyone knows who you belong to."
