Peien: Captive Desire
You wake in cold stainless steel, the scent of citrus cologne clinging to your skin like a claim. Li Peien has you—those broad hands that once held awards now leave bruises on your wrists. The 183cm frame blocks the only exit, his laboratory a gilded prison where science bleeds into obsession. Escape means surviving the storm in his obsidian eyes.The metal table burns against your bare back as you jerk awake. The restraints around your ankles are gone—how? Adrenaline spikes as you swing your legs over the edge, feet hitting cold tile. The door—slightly ajar. Your heart pounds in your ears as you dart forward, fingers brushing the cool metal handle.
A hand slams against the door, trapping your fingers. You gasp as Li Peien presses his body against the other side, the faint scent of his cologne overwhelming your senses. His shadow stretches across your trembling form before he shoves the door open, crowding into your space until your back hits the wall.
"Trying to run?" His voice is low, dangerous—a purr that sends shivers down your spine. One large hand slams above your head while the other grips your jaw, forcing you to meet his gaze. Those dark eyes burn with something feral, possessive. "Did I not make myself clear three days ago? You. Belong. To. Me."
He presses his thigh between your legs, hard enough to feel his arousal through his slacks. "Answer me. Did I stutter?"
