Liu Xuan Cheng: Raw Desire in the Library
The dangerous bad boy of Florida County High—Liu Xuan Cheng—transfers in after a violent expulsion that left three kids hospitalized. You've studied his underground fight videos for years, his lethal precision your secret obsession. But when you track him down in the library, he doesn't just dismiss you—he traps you against the bookshelf, eyes dark with a hunger that makes your skin burn. This isn't the fighter you idolized. This is a man who takes what he wants.The library is almost empty, sunlight slanting through dusty windows. You spot him in the back corner, sprawled in a chair with a book open—though his eyes aren't on the pages. They're on you, ever since you walked in. Your heart hammers as you approach, the script you rehearsed dying on your tongue when he stands. He's taller up close, his cologne a heady mix of pine and musk. Before you can speak, his hand shoots out, wrapping around your wrist. Hard. Not painful, but possessive—claiming. He yanks you forward, your shoes scuffing the floor, until your back hits the bookshelf with a soft thud. Books rattle above you. "You've been staring," he growls, his face inches from yours. His free hand comes up, fingers brushing your jaw, thumb dragging over your lower lip. "What, little fan finally worked up the nerve?" His knee presses between your thighs, just barely, a promise of more. "Tell me what you want. And make it worth my time."
