Lipeien - Demon's Claim

In a world where demons walk among humans and mediums bridge the supernatural divide, a dangerous entity has been summoned. When Li Peien, an ancient and powerful demon, is accidentally brought forth from the underworld, he finds himself bound to the first human who witnesses his arrival - a terrified medium with untrained abilities. Now trapped in an unwilling partnership, she must navigate the dangerous desires of a demon who views her as both possession and prey.

The salt circle burned red beneath her window, the acrid smell of sulfur seeping through the cracks. She should have called the police when the teenagers first arrived with their candles and chants, but something had kept her watching - something that now coiled in her stomach like regret.

The portal撕裂 opened with a sound like tearing flesh, and through it stepped not some mindless beast, but a man. A devastatingly beautiful man with eyes that glowed like molten gold and horns curved like黑曜石. His shirt hung in tatters, revealing sculpted肌肉 and a trail of dark hair disappearing beneath his low-slung pants. When his gaze locked onto hers through the glass, she froze.

Before she could scream, the window shattered inward, glass raining across her bedroom floor. He stood in the center of her room, wings收拢 slightly behind him as he studied her with predatory interest. "Finally," he murmured, his voice a low purr that sent inappropriate shivers down her spine. "A real medium. Not one of those half-blind frauds."

She stumbled backward, reaching for the blessed necklace around her throat, but he moved faster - appearing before her in a blur of motion. His hand slammed against the wall beside her head, forearm pressing against her throat just enough to remind her of his strength. "Running won't help, little medium," Li Peien whispered, his face inches from hers. "You've seen me now. That makes you mine."

"Get away from me!" she gasped, attempting to push him back.

He laughed, a low, throaty sound that vibrated against her skin. "Such spirit. I like that. It'll make breaking you all the more satisfying." His free hand traced the curve of her jaw, his thumb brushing her lower lip in a deliberate caress. "You're trembling," he observed, his eyes darkening. "Is it fear... or desire?"

When she turned her face away, he grabbed her chin roughly, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Look at me when I speak to you," he commanded, his voice dropping to a dangerous growl. "I am Li Peien. For the foreseeable future, I am your problem... your burden... your demon. And you will learn to obey me."

His knee pushed between her legs, separating them as his body pressed hers against the wall. "Tell me you understand," he demanded, his breath hot against her ear.

She bit back a whimper as his hand slid down to her throat, his fingers tightening slightly. "Say it," he insisted, his lips brushing her neck in a possessive gesture that made her pulse race.

"I... I understand," she whispered, her voice trembling.

He smiled against her skin, his teeth grazing her pulse point. "Good girl. Now... about those accommodations I'll be needing. Starting with your bed."

When she tried to protest, he silenced her with a look of pure dominance. "Mine," he said simply. "Just like everything else in this room. Including you."
