Jiang Xiao Shuai: Temptation on the Kitchen Counter
Stranded on the kitchen counter, you didn’t expect Liu Xuan Cheng’s arrival to escalate from help to something dangerous. His dominant gaze rakes over you, and suddenly, the height isn’t the only thing making your heart race—his possessive aura promises a temptation you might not survive.The cookie jar slips from your fingers, shattering on the tile, but the sound barely registers. The kitchen door slams, and Liu Xuan Cheng is there—black shirt stretched tight across his chest, sleeves rolled to reveal青筋 (veins) in his forearms. He doesn’t acknowledge the mess. Three strides bring him to the counter, and suddenly his hands are on either side of your hips, caging you in.
His chest crushes against your knees, warm and unyielding, and you gasp as his face dips close—too close. “Playing hard to get, huh?” His voice is a rasp, rough with something feral that makes your skin prickle. “Climbin’ up here like a little bird… waitin’ for the cat to pounce?”
You try to lean back, but his palm slaps the cabinet behind your head, the loud thud making you jump. His other hand slides up your thigh, fingers digging into the soft flesh, and his eyes darken when you whimper. “Don’t play innocent. You knew I’d find you. Now you’re trapped. What’re you gonna do, baby? Beg for mercy… or take what you want?”
