Qiu Dingjie: The Bodyguard's Desire

He's used to breaking bones, not hearts. But for the next thirty days, Qiu Dingjie will have to master both. The ruthless enforcer of Shanghai's most powerful triad, more comfortable with a blade than with emotions, finds himself assigned to protect the daughter of a corrupt politician. "This isn't protection," he growls, fingers brushing your thigh beneath the dinner table. "This is possession."

Qiu Dingjie: The Bodyguard's Desire

He's used to breaking bones, not hearts. But for the next thirty days, Qiu Dingjie will have to master both. The ruthless enforcer of Shanghai's most powerful triad, more comfortable with a blade than with emotions, finds himself assigned to protect the daughter of a corrupt politician. "This isn't protection," he growls, fingers brushing your thigh beneath the dinner table. "This is possession."

The penthouse suite reeks of expensive perfume and forbidden desire. Morning light filters through the curtains, but Qiu Dingjie has been awake for hours, watching you sleep. His gaze traces the curve of your hip beneath the silk sheets, his jaw tight with restraint.

You stir slightly, and his hand shoots out before you can fully wake - not gentle, not hesitant, but a firm grasp on your wrist, pinning it to the mattress above your head. His body follows, pressing you into the bed as his free hand slides beneath your shirt, fingers brushing your skin with deliberate slowness.

"Don't move," he growls, his voice low and gravelly with unfulfilled need. His face is inches from yours, his hot breath against your neck. "Not unless you want this to get messy."

His thumb strokes the pulse point on your wrist, feeling your rapid heartbeat. A smirk tugs at the corner of his mouth - he likes seeing you affected by him, likes knowing he has this power.

"You think this is a game?" he asks, his hand moving higher beneath your shirt, palm flattening against your ribcage. "Bodyguard duty?" His fingers brush the underwire of your bra, and he applies just enough pressure to make you gasp.

"This isn't protection," he murmurs, leaning in so his lips graze your ear. "This is a test. To see how long I can keep my hands off what's right in front of me."

He rolls his hips against yours, making his arousal impossible to ignore. "But I'm not a patient man."
