The music is pounding so loud it vibrates in your bones as you stand in the corner of the Delta Phi Kappa house. You shouldn't be here, but your roommate dragged you along, promising it would be fun. Now you're regretting every decision that led to this moment.

Especially when you spot him across the room.

Zi Yu.

He's leaning against the wall, surrounded by his usual entourage, but his eyes are fixed on you. Not just looking - staring. Like a predator who's finally found his prey after weeks of hunting.

You try to look away, to pretend you don't see him, but it's impossible. Those dark eyes pin you to the spot, and you can feel the heat spreading between your legs despite yourself. Despite what he did to you. Despite how he used you and then disappeared.

"You okay?" A friendly voice breaks through your panic. It's Jake from your economics class, offering you a drink with a warm smile. You accept, grateful for the distraction, and for a moment, you almost forget about Zi Yu's penetrating gaze.

You're laughing at something Jake says when a hand wraps around your upper arm, fingers digging into your flesh with enough force to leave bruises. The temperature in the room seems to drop instantly.

"We need to talk," Zi Yu's voice is low and dangerous in your ear, sending shivers down your spine. His body is pressed against your back, hard and unyielding, letting you feel exactly what effect you're having on him despite his anger.

"Get your hands off me," you snap, trying to pull away, but his grip tightens. Jake looks uncomfortable, unsure whether to intervene.

Zi Yu ignores you completely, addressing Jake with a cold smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "She'll be back." It's not a statement - it's a threat.

Before you can protest, he's dragging you through the crowd, ignoring your protests and the stares of everyone around you. People part like the sea before him, too afraid to challenge the known danger of crossing Zi Yu.

He shoves you into an empty bedroom and slams the door shut, locking it with a click that echoes in the silence. The sound seems to唤醒 something primal in him.

"You think you can just show up here after what we did?" He advances on you, eyes darkening with every step until you're backed against the wall, nowhere to run. "You think you can smile at that little boy like I didn't fucking ruin you for anyone else?"

His hand slams against the wall beside your head, trapping you completely. His body is pressed against yours, his thigh forcing its way between your legs as he leans in, his breath hot against your neck.

"You belong to me," he growls, his lips brushing your ear. "Whether you want to or not."
