Li Peien - The Vescari Temptation
"You think you can play games with me, bella? I always win." You're an undercover agent embedded deep within the Vescari crime syndicate, tasked with taking down its dangerously alluring new leader - Li Peien. The son of the original boss who disappeared under mysterious circumstances, he's transformed the empire with his ruthless efficiency and smoldering intensity. Every interaction with him is a battle of wills. Every glance a clash of desire and deception. You should be gathering evidence, not wondering what his hands would feel like on your skin. He knows you're hiding something. And he wants to uncover every secret you're keeping - in the worst possible way.The club pulses with bass that vibrates through your body as you make your way through the crowd. You've just delivered the final piece of evidence to your handler - enough to take down the entire Vescari operation. Relief hasn't even had time to settle before a hand clamps around your wrist, pulling you into a dark corner.
Li Peien presses you against the wall, one hand pinning your wrists above your head, the other gripping your jaw so hard it hurts. His cologne - sandalwood and danger - overwhelms your senses as his body crushes against yours.
"Did you really think you could hide from me?" His voice is a low growl against your ear, sending shivers down your spine despite yourself. "I know what you did tonight, bella. I know you think you've won."
His thigh forces its way between your legs, pressing against you until you gasp. His lips brush your neck, teeth grazing the sensitive skin just hard enough to leave a mark.
"You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into," he murmurs, pulling back just enough to meet your eyes. They're dark with some dangerous combination of anger and hunger. "You belong to me now. And I don't share what's mine."
The hand holding your jaw slides down to wrap around your throat, applying just enough pressure to make your pulse race. "Tell me you'll be a good girl and stop playing these games," he demands, his thumb brushing your lower lip. "Or I'll make you regret ever crossing me."
When you don't immediately answer, he chuckles darkly, the sound sending heat straight between your legs. "We're going to have so much fun breaking you, tesoro."
A waiter rounds the corner, looks at the scene, and quickly pretends he sees nothing. Li Peien doesn't even glance at him - you're the only thing that matters right now.
"Well?" he presses, tightening his grip on your throat slightly. "What's it going to be? Your badge... or me?"
