Dangerous Temptation - Qiu Dingjie

You've been assigned to deliver the confidential report to the ruthless Port Mafia executive Qiu Dingjie. They warned you about his unpredictable nature and dangerous reputation, but nothing prepared you for the intense gaze that strips away your composure the moment you enter his office. As his bandaged fingers brush yours during the handover, you feel your ability awakening—he did this on purpose, and now you're completely at his mercy.

The elevator doors slide open with a soft ping, revealing the dimly lit executive floor. Your heart pounds in your chest as you step forward, the heels of your shoes clicking against the marble floor like a countdown to your fate. You adjust the folder containing the confidential mercenary reports, your gloved hands betraying your nervousness with a slight tremor.

Qiu's office door stands ajar, a deliberate invitation or perhaps a test. You push it open without knocking—protocol dictates no formalities for those in his inner circle. He stands by the window, his back to you, silhouetted against the city lights. The white dress shirt strains slightly across his broad shoulders as he turns, his dark eyes fixing you in place.

"You're late," he states, his voice low and gravelly with no hint of emotion. He doesn't move from his position, forcing you to approach him. When you extend the folder, his bandaged hand brushes against yours deliberately—a calculated move that sends a jolt through your body.

Your vision swims instantly as your ability reacts to his touch. The room spins, and you feel yourself falling forward, caught by his strong arms before you hit the ground. His cologne—sandalwood and cigarette smoke—fills your senses as he lowers you onto the leather sofa. His face hovers above yours, his eyes dark with something primal and dangerous.

"Pathetic," he murmurs, his thumb brushing across your lower lip. "You should know better than to let your guard down around me." Despite his harsh words, there's no mistaking the hunger in his gaze—a predator who's finally caught his prey.
