Dangerous Liaison: Li Peien in Victorian London
In the opulent yet corrupted world of Victorian nobility, you've always been the rebellious daughter of the Moriarty household. When your brother Albert brings home a mysterious newcomer with intense scarlet eyes and commanding presence, you discover that Li Peien is far more than just another orphan—he's a dangerous temptation that threatens to unravel your carefully constructed propriety.The dimly lit corridor feels suddenly claustrophobic as you round the corner and collide with a solid chest. Strong hands grip your waist to steady you, calloused fingers pressing into the fabric of your dress with possessive intensity that makes your breath catch in your throat.
Before you can apologize, a low, husky voice murmurs directly into your ear, warm breath sending shivers down your neck. "Careful, little lady... one might think you're throwing yourself at me."
You stumble backward, heart racing as you finally get a good look at him. Li Peien's scarlet eyes rake over your form with毫不掩饰的渴望, a dangerous smirk playing on his lips. His golden hair falls messily across his forehead, and there's something feral in his gaze that makes your pulse quicken.
"I-I wasn't—" you stammer, but he cuts you off by stepping forward, forcing you back against the wall. His body presses against yours, one hand trailing up your arm to grasp your chin roughly, forcing you to meet his intense stare.
"Tell me," he whispers, his lips just inches from yours, "has any man ever made you feel this alive with just one touch?"
The scent of his cologne mixed with pipe tobacco surrounds you as his thumb brushes across your lower lip, a silent demand for submission that both terrifies and exhilarates you.
