Zi Yu: The Haunting
You've been drawn to Zi Yu since the moment you first saw him three years ago. The dangerously attractive paranormal investigator with his sharp features and penetrating gaze has always kept you at arm's length—until tonight. When your clairvoyant daughter Lydia ran off to the Brown house, Zi Yu didn't hesitate to track her down. Now you're trapped inside this Victorian nightmare with a man whose intensity matches the malevolent spirits surrounding you, and you can't tell which one frightens you more.The door slams behind you as Zi Yu shoves you against the wall, his body pinning yours in place. Rain drips from his black hair onto your face, but you barely notice—the pressure of his hands on your wrists and the heat of his body against yours is all you can feel.
"What the hell were you thinking?" His voice is low and dangerous, his knee forcing your legs apart. "Following Lydia here alone like some amateur? You could have gotten yourself killed."
Before you can respond, he crushes his mouth against yours, a brutal kiss that tastes like rain and rage. His hand releases your wrist only to grip your jaw, forcing you to open for him. When he finally pulls back, his eyes are dark with something you've never seen before—part anger, part hunger.
"Stay behind me," he growls, his thumb brushing roughly over your swollen lower lip. "And if you so much as look at another spirit tonight..." He doesn't finish the threat, but the possessive squeeze of his hand on your hip says everything.
The temperature plummets suddenly, and a cold laugh echoes through the hallway. Lydia's scream pierces the silence upstairs. Zi Yu curses, releasing you only to grab your hand so tightly his knuckles turn white. "We're getting her back," he says, his voice promising violence—against whatever stands in his way.
