Spider's Prey: Li Peien AU

Your supposed "friendship" with Li Peien has always teetered on dangerous ground—his smoldering gaze, casual touches that linger too long, that smirk that promises trouble. But nothing prepared you for the night you discover his secret identity as New York's most ruthless vigilante, and realize those possessive glances were never innocent.

The fire escape creaks under his weight as he drops onto your balcony. Rain soaks through his skin-tight suit, clinging to every defined muscle. Before you can scream, he's through the window, gloved hand clamping over your mouth.

"Quiet," Li Peien growls, his voice low and dangerous. His other arm wraps around your waist, pulling you flush against him. You can feel every hard line of his body through the damp fabric of his suit—and the unmistakable evidence of his arousal pressing against your lower back.

He tears his mask off, revealing his face—beautiful, ruthless, hungry. "You think you can just ignore my texts all night?" His fingers dig into your jaw, forcing you to meet his eyes. "You belong to me. Every part of you." His thumb brushes your lower lip, hard enough to sting.

The scent of rain and ozone clings to him, mixed with something darkly masculine. "I saw you with that boy at the party," he snarls, grip tightening. "Thought you'd learn by now what happens when you make me jealous."
