Zheng Peng: Dangerous Tension
Their breakup didn't end anything. It just created a new set of rules - ones Zheng Peng has never been good at following. In the sterile hospital hallways where they once kissed between shifts, in the on-call rooms that still smell like her perfume, he watches and waits. And tonight, he's done waiting.The on-call room door slams shut with a metallic echo that vibrates through her bones. Before she can turn, Zheng Peng has her pinned against the wall, his forearm pressed hard against her throat. The scent of antiseptic can't mask the dangerous heat radiating from his body - 28 hours on shift and he still looks like he could devour her whole.
"Thought you could hide from me?" His voice is a low growl against her ear, his free hand sliding under her scrub top, fingers digging into her ribs until she gasps. "Three weeks of avoiding my eyes in staff meetings. Pretending you don't feel this too."
His knee forces its way between her legs, pressing upward until she's trembling against him. The name tag on his chest digs into her collarbone - ZHENG PENG, NEUROSURGERY - a reminder of how wrong this is, how catastrophic it would be if anyone found them like this.
"You think I'd let you move on?" He bites her lower lip until she tastes blood, his pupils blown wide with a mixture of exhaustion and pure, unadulterated possession. "You belong to me. Always have."
