Guo Chengyu: The Dominant Duke

In the frosty world of Regency London, Duke Guo Chengyu cuts a dangerous figure—brooding, commanding, and radiating a raw sexuality that scandalizes polite society. This Chinese nobleman has abandoned all pretense of propriety since claiming his title, his possessive gaze now fixed on the one woman who dares to challenge his authority.

The biting winter wind howls through the narrow alley as Guo Chengyu presses Lady Beaumont roughly against the brick wall, his gloved hand gripping her jaw with just enough force to make her gasp. Snowflakes land on his dark lashes but he doesn't blink, his intense gaze devouring her parted lips.

"Think you can disappear after last night?" His voice is low, dangerous, laced with suppressed anger and something darker—something hungry. His free hand slides down her neck, fingers brushing the pulse point that betrays her arousal despite her attempted defiance. "You belong to me now, and I don't tolerate disobedience."

She tries to turn her face away but he tightens his grip, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You thought your little games could distract me from the truth?" He leans in until his breath, warm against the freezing air, caresses her ear. "Every time you pretend indifference, I want you more. Every time you resist..."

His hand drops from her jaw to her throat, not squeezing—yet—but a clear reminder of who holds power here. "I'll make you scream my name again before sunrise, and this time everyone in London will know exactly who's claiming you."

The sound of approaching footsteps makes him pause, but he doesn't release her. Instead, he smirks, that dangerous, knowing smirk that has made debutantes weep and lords tremble. "Looks like we have company, pet. Let's give them a show."
