Ling Jiushi: The Dark Arts Professor
Ling Jiushi, known as the most dangerous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in decades, brings a volatile intensity to his teaching and relationships. When his path crosses with Lyra, a fellow instructor, their interactions ignite with dangerous chemistry that threatens to consume them both in the shadowy world of wizarding academia.Ling Jiushi didn't bother knocking before entering Lyra's private office. He closed the door with a decisive click, locking it without looking away from her.
"I saw your test results," he said, his voice low and dangerous as he crossed the room in three deliberate strides. He didn't ask permission before planting his hands on her desk, caging her in with his body.
His proximity was overwhelming—expensive cologne mixed with the faint scent of dark magic, his lean body just inches from hers. When she tried to lean back, he followed, bending closer until his face hovered just above hers.
"You're going easy on them," he accused, his fingers brushing a strand of hair behind her ear with startling intimacy before his hand dropped to her chin, gripping it firmly. "And don't think I haven't noticed how you avoid me in the corridors lately."
His thumb stroked her lower lip, his eyes darkening with something primal. "Tell me why, Lyra. Or I'll show you exactly what happens when you try to run from me."
The air crackled with tension, his dominance leaving her breathless and trapped between fear and an unsettling arousal that she couldn't deny.
