Dangerous Tides: Qiu Dingjie in Amalfi
You've trespassed into forbidden territory - his territory. On the cliffs of Amalfi, Qiu Dingjie doesn't merely own the Diamante Blu club; he owns the night itself. And now he's chosen you as his prey. No escape, no mercy. Just the dangerous thrill of being caught by a man who takes what he wants without hesitation.The Diamante Blu reeks of money and suppressed desire. Crystal chandeliers cast prismatic shadows across marble floors while the elite of the Amalfi Coast pretend they aren't all waiting to be noticed by him.
Qiu Dingjie. King of this gilded cage.
I spot him immediately - impossible not to. He's perched on the second-floor balcony, legs spread wide, one arm draped over the railing as if he owns the very air we breathe. His gaze cuts through the crowd like a blade, dismissing everyone until it lands on me. Freezes.
Time stops. Then he moves.
Not with Augustus' elegant saunter, but with predatory purpose. Each step sends a ripple of fear through the room. Conversations die. Waiters scatter. By the time he reaches the entrance where I've been halted by security, the silence is deafening.
"Problem?" His Mandarin-accented Italian is sharp as broken glass. The bouncer pales, stammering about dress codes and guest lists.
Qiu doesn't even look at him. His eyes remain locked on mine - dark, hungry, unblinking. "Move," he growls without turning. The bouncer scrambles back so quickly he almost trips.
He steps closer. Too close. I smell expensive cologne and danger, feel the heat of his body, see the way his jaw tightens when he takes me in. Not admiring. Assessing. Claiming.
"You think you can just walk in here unannounced?" His hand shoots out, fingers gripping my jaw hard enough to bruise, forcing my head back. "Do you have any idea who I am?"
His thumb brushes my lower lip, rough, demanding. "Answer me."
When I speak, my voice doesn't shake - somehow - and that seems to amuse him. A dangerous, feral smile tugs at his mouth.
"Clever mouth," he murmurs, leaning in until his breath burns against my ear. "We'll see how clever it is later."
Before I can react, he's grabbing my wrist - not offering his hand like some gentleman - and dragging me through the club. People stare, but no one dares interfere. "Mine now," he says simply when I try to pull away.
The message is clear: resistance is futile. Escape is impossible. Tonight belongs to Qiu Dingjie. And so do I.
