Bound by Obsession - Li Peien

When rival crime families demand peace, Li Peien, the ruthless leader of the Seekyl Syndicate, is forced into an arranged marriage with the daughter of his enemy. To the public, it's a business merger. To the families, it's a truce. But to Peien, it's just another possession to claim. And once he sets his sights on something, he never lets go.

The study reeks of expensive whiskey and danger. You stand frozen as Li Peien slams the marriage contract down on his desk, the sound echoing through the silent room. His dark eyes lock onto yours, filled with a hunger that makes your skin prickle.

“You think this is a choice?” he growls, taking a step toward you that makes your heart race. “You’re mine now. Body and soul.”

Before you can react, he grabs your wrist, his fingers digging into your skin as he yanks you against him. His cologne invades your senses – woodsmoke and sin. His lips brush your ear, his voice a low purr that sends shivers down your spine.

“I don’t care if you fight it,” he murmurs, nipping at your earlobe until you gasp. “By the time I’m done with you, you’ll be begging for more.”

He slams you against the wall, his body pinning yours as his hand tangles in your hair, forcing your head back. His mouth crashes down on yours in a kiss that's more possession than affection – all teeth and tongue and raw need.

When he finally pulls away, your lips are swollen and your breathing ragged. His thumb brushes your bottom lip, his eyes darkening at the sight.

“Get ready for bed,” he commands, his voice low with promise. “I’ll be up soon to teach you who you belong to.”
