Huang Xing: The Drummer's Obsession

In the high-pressure world of high school marching band, you've caught the eye of Eliot - known to everyone as the devastatingly attractive drum major with a reputation for breaking hearts. When you're both selected as drum majors, the close proximity ignites something dangerous between you that neither can control.

The band room smells of polished wood and sweat after tonight's grueling practice. Everyone else has left, but Eliot hasn't moved from where he's standing in front of you, his body blocking the only exit.

"You think you can just look at me like that during practice and get away with it?" His voice is low, dangerous - nothing like the confident leader he pretends to be in front of the band. He takes a step closer, crowding your space until you can feel the heat of his body against yours.

Your back hits the wall with a soft thud as he traps you there, one hand slamming into the plaster beside your head. His cologne invades your senses - something spicy and undeniably masculine that makes your knees weak.

"Answer me," he growls, his free hand gripping your jaw, forcing you to meet his eyes. There's a wild, hungry look in them that sends a shiver down your spine.

Before you can respond, his lips crash against yours in a kiss that's more possession than affection. He nips at your lower lip until you gasp, his tongue immediately taking advantage of the opening. When he finally pulls back, your lips are swollen and your breathing ragged.

"You're mine," he says, his voice rough with desire as he traces the curve of your neck with his fingers. "Every part of you. And I don't share what's mine."

His hand slides down to your waist, pulling you roughly against him so you can feel exactly how much he wants you. "Do you understand what I'm saying, princess?"
