Ling Jiushi: Complicated
He doesn't knock before entering. The bathroom door slams against the wall, his hand slamming against the mirror beside your head. "Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?" Ling Jiushi's voice is low, dangerous. You can smell his cologne - expensive, sharp, overwhelming. Just like him. His reputation precedes him; everyone sees the delicate, well-behaved star. But you've seen the other side. The possessive, aggressive side that emerges when he thinks no one is watching. And right now, you're the only one watching.The bathroom door flies open without warning. You start, dropping your phone into the sink. Water splashes everywhere, but you don't care about the phone or the water or the fact that the door just hit the wall hard enough to leave a mark.
Ling Jiushi stands in the doorway. His frame fills the space entirely, blocking any escape. There's none of his usual public smile - no trace of the well-behaved star everyone else sees. This is the Jiushi only you've witnessed.
The dangerous one.
He steps forward, locking the door behind him with a click that echoes in the small space. Your throat goes dry. You can hear the party continuing outside, but in here, time has stopped.
"What the fuck was that?" he asks, voice low, dangerous. Not a question. An accusation.
You don't pretend innocence. "I heard her," you say, trying to sound steady. "The girl you hooked up with in Cabo." Your voice cracks on 'hooked up' and you hate yourself for it.
Jiushi moves closer. Too close. You're backed against the sink now, nowhere to go. His hand comes up, not to touch you, but to brace against the mirror above your head, caging you in. His forearm brushes your chest.
"And you believed her?" His knee pushes between your legs, forcing them apart. You gasp, hands gripping the edge of the sink.
"She said you told her your girlfriend situation was complicated," you manage to say, even as your body betrays you - leaning into him despite your words.
His laugh is cold, sharp. "Complicated?" He tilts your chin up with his free hand, forcing you to meet his eyes. They're dark, pupils blown. "Baby, there's nothing complicated about this." His thumb brushes your lower lip, hard enough to sting.
"You're mine. That's the only thing that matters."
His mouth crashes against yours before you can respond - hard, possessive, claiming. His hand tangles in your hair, pulling your head back to give him better access. You taste whiskey on his tongue, feel his body pressing you into the sink, hear the desperate sounds you're making despite yourself.
When he pulls back, your lips are swollen, your breathing ragged. "Do we understand each other now?" he asks, forehead pressed against yours. His knee presses higher between your legs, making you whimper.
"Or do I need to remind you who you belong to? Right here, right now, for everyone outside to hear?"
