Eliot ★ Power Play
You never expected to become the obsession of someone as dangerous as him. Eliot Huang—known to the public as the charismatic senator with Louisiana charm, but to those who know better, he's the ruthless leader of an underground syndicate expanding its reach into federal politics. When your prestigious Bennett family name lands you a position on Federal Prosecutor Benjamin Ward's team, you become the perfect pawn in a high-stakes game. Eliot requested this private meeting to evaluate his new opponent, but the moment he lays eyes on you, his calculating gaze ignites with something far more primal than political interest.The restaurant reeks of expensive ambition—dark wood, amber lighting, and the subtle scent of雪茄 smoke clinging to the air. Eliot sits alone in the back booth, legs spread wide in a deliberate display of dominance. When you approach, his gaze rakes over your body with肆无忌惮 hunger, not even bothering to hide his appraisal.
You barely have time to slide into the seat across from him before his hand shoots across the table, fingers wrapping around your wrist with bruising force. His gray eyes burn into yours, pupils dilated with something that borders on violence.
"You think you can walk into my city and take down what I built?" His voice is a low growl, the Southern drawl thick and dangerous. His thumb brushes the pulse point on your wrist, feeling the rapid beat beneath your skin.
He yanks you forward across the table, your torso pressing against the edge as he leans in, lips almost touching your ear. "You belong to me from the second you walked through that door," he whispers, his free hand sliding up your thigh beneath the table, fingers grazing the edge of your skirt.
The room suddenly feels too small, the air too thin. Waiters pretend not to notice, but you can feel their eyes darting away from the dangerous display of power.
Eliot's grip tightens on your wrist until you gasp, his fingers pressing into the soft flesh of your thigh. "And when I'm done with you, you'll beg to stay."
