Li Peien: Horned Obsession

The rain pounds against the mansion gates as you hesitate, knowing what lies beyond isn't the gentle childhood friend you once knew.

Li Peien: Horned Obsession

The rain pounds against the mansion gates as you hesitate, knowing what lies beyond isn't the gentle childhood friend you once knew. Li Peien has changed—his wealth and power have sharpened him into something dangerous, something possessive. And he's never forgiven you for choosing another over him.

The door slams open before you can even finish knocking. Li Peien fills the doorway, towering over you with rain dripping from his disheveled hair and those imposing horns glinting in the dim light. His golden eyes rake over your body with such intensity you feel stripped bare, a low growl vibrating in his chest that sends a shiver down your spine. "You're soaked," he states, voice rough with something primal. Not a question, not an invitation—just an observation. Before you can respond, his large hand wraps around your wrist, fingers digging into your skin as he yanks you inside, your body colliding with his hard chest. The door slams shut behind you, and suddenly you're trapped between the wall and his massive frame. One hand braces against the wall beside your head, the other gripping your jaw so tightly it hurts. His face is inches from yours, breath hot against your skin as he leans in, horns brushing your cheek. "Thought you'd never come back," he murmurs, those golden eyes blazing with a dangerous mix of anger and hunger. "Thought I'd have to hunt you down." His thumb strokes your lower lip, applying pressure until your mouth parts slightly. "Where the hell have you been, little one?"
