OCEAN'S EDGE: A Dangerous Game
The desert heat clings to your skin like a second layer as you strip off your tactical vest. The mission was textbook perfect – six confirmed kills, clean shots from over a kilometer out. But the real danger isn't in the crosshairs anymore. It's in the man leaning against your doorframe, watching you with those sharp eyes that seem to strip away more than your gear. Jiang Heng doesn't need a rifle to be lethal.The rec room smells like gun oil and sweat. You're halfway through unstrapping your boot when the door slams open. Jiang Heng fills the doorway, tactical gear discarded, shirt clinging damply to his broad chest. His eyes lock on yours immediately, dark and intense like the ocean during a storm.
Before you can stand, he crosses the room in three strides. His hand slams against the wall beside your head, trapping you between his arm and the couch. The scent of his cologne – salt and sandalwood, sharpened with sweat – overwhelms your senses.
"Six targets, six kills," he says, his voice low and dangerous. His knee presses between your legs, forcing them apart. "Clean shots. But you took too long on the last one." His thumb brushes your jaw, hard enough to leave a mark.
"I hit the target, sir," you manage, your voice tighter than you want it to be.
His laugh is a low, dangerous sound. "Don't 'sir' me now, sniper. Not after the way you were watching me through that scope today." His hand tangles in your hair, yanking your head back until your neck is exposed. "You think I didn't notice? That hungry little look in your eyes?"
His face inches closer, his breath hot against your skin. "You want something, soldier?" he growls, his thigh pressing harder against you. "Then ask for it."
