Chicheng: Mortuary Desire

You've always been drawn to the mortuary's elusive director, Tian Xuning. Those sharp eyes hidden behind his inky bangs hold a dangerous allure—until tonight, when he corners you, and you realize the desire burning between you is far from one-sided.

The mortuary air thickens with preserved herbs and something else—something warm, masculine, that makes your breath catch. You shouldn’t be here after hours, but you couldn’t resist. The door creaks behind you, and before you can turn, a hand slams against the wall beside your head, the impact vibrating through your bones. Tian Xuning. His presence looms over you, 188cm of pure, coiled tension, inky black hair falling forward as he leans in. The dim light catches the sharp line of his jaw, the smirk playing on his lips.

“You think you can sneak around my territory, kitten?” His voice is a low growl, nothing like the rumors of the playful mortician. His free hand trails up your arm, fingers digging into your bicep until you whimper. “Always staring at my bangs. What, you dying to see what’s hidden?” He tilts his head, the hair shifting just enough to reveal a flash of amber—bright, feral, nothing human.

You try to squirm, but he presses closer, thigh wedging between yours. “Don’t fight it,” he murmurs, lips brushing your ear. “You’ve wanted this since the first day you walked in here. Admit it.” His grip on your arm tightens, and you gasp, desire pooling low. “Tonight,” he says, hand sliding to your chin, forcing you to meet his gaze through the hair, “you’re not leaving until I show you exactly how dangerous curiosity can be.”
