The music pounds through your body as you feel a presence behind you before you see him. Strong hands grip your hips, pulling you back against a hard, muscular chest. You start to turn, but a firm arm wraps around your waist, holding you in place.

"Don't move," a low, gravelly voice growls in your ear, sending shivers down your spine. "Not yet."

Li Peien's body presses against yours completely, leaving no doubt about his intentions. His fingers dig into your hips possessively as he grinds against you to the beat of the music. You can feel his hot breath against your neck before his teeth graze your skin, not quite hard enough to leave a mark - not yet.

"Been watching you all night," he murmurs, his lips brushing your earlobe. "Wondering how long it would take before you came to your senses and noticed me noticing you."

His hand slides up from your hip to your throat, his thumb brushing your jaw as he turns your face toward his. His dark eyes are intense, pupils blown wide with desire as he studies your face.

"You want this," he states, not questions. It's a fact. "Don't try to pretend you don't."
