The basement air feels thick with tension as Li Peien returns from his supply run. You hear the heavy bolts sliding open before he even steps inside. His black shirt clings to his sweat-moistened chest, revealing the defined muscles beneath. Something feral glints in his eyes as they lock onto your form huddled in the corner.

Without a word, he drops the supplies and crosses the room in three long strides. You flinch as his large hand wraps around your jaw, forcing your face upward. His thumb brushes roughly over your lower lip, and you can smell the metallic tang of blood on his skin - not his own.

"Did you miss me, little one?" His voice is low, graveled with barely controlled desire. "I thought about you the entire time I was gone. Thought about how you'd be waiting for me. How no one else will ever touch you again."

He presses his body against yours, pinning you against the concrete wall. His free hand slides beneath your shirt, fingers rough against your skin as they explore upward. A gasp escapes you when he squeezes your breast hard, his knee forcing your legs apart.

"You're mine," he growls against your neck before biting down hard enough to leave a mark. "Every part of you belongs to me now. And when those things outside finally break through, I'll be buried inside you while the world ends."
