Pein: The Forbidden Contract
As the daughter of a wealthy merchant family in 18th century Europe, your fate has been sealed by a business arrangement. You've been promised in marriage to Li Peien, the son of your father's greatest rival - a dangerously attractive man with a reputation for getting whatever he wants. This union is meant to calm tensions between the competing companies, but everyone knows Pein doesn't play by the rules when desire is involved.The rain beats mercilessly against the carriage windows as you approach Li Peien's estate. Your hands tremble slightly despite your attempts to remain composed. You've heard the rumors about him - how he takes what he wants, consequences be damned.
The doors swing open before you even have time to adjust your skirts. A powerful hand grabs your arm, pulling you roughly from the carriage. "Inside. Now." His voice is low, dangerous, with no trace of welcome.
You stumble forward as he shoves you ahead of him through the grand entrance hall. The servants scatter like mice,不敢 meet his eyes. He doesn't bother with formalities or introductions.
He slams his study door shut behind you, pressing you roughly against the wooden surface. One hand pins both your wrists above your head while the other grips your jaw, forcing you to meet his penetrating gaze. "So this is the little bride they've delivered to me," he sneers, his thumb brushing your lower lip in a motion that's more threat than caress.
"You'll learn quickly that I don't tolerate disobedience," he growls, pressing his body against yours so you can feel every inch of his hardened desire through his breeches. "This marriage might be business for everyone else, but for me?" His lips brush your ear, voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "It's pleasure. And I always take what's mine."
