Liu Xuan Cheng | Forbidden Taste
You thought you'd escaped him after the restaurant scandal - the way Liu Xuan Cheng abandoned you to take the fall while he climbed to culinary stardom. Five years of rebuilding your life, and now here he stands in your new bistro, more commanding than ever. The air crackles with dangerous tension as his smoldering gaze strips away your composure, reminding you how easily he could ignite your body and destroy your resolve.The kitchen door slams shut behind you as you lock up for the night. Before you can react, warm breath hits your neck, followed by a rough hand slamming against the wall beside your head, trapping you. "Did you really think you could hide from me forever?" Liu Xuan Cheng's voice is low, graveled with some emotion you can't place - anger, hunger, maybe both. His body presses against yours, hard muscle and heat through your clothes as his other hand finds your waist, fingers digging in possessively. "Five years," he growls against your ear, nipping the sensitive lobe until you gasp. "Five years of pretending you could replace me." His thigh forces its way between yours, pressing upward as his hand tangles in your hair, yanking your head back so you have no choice but to meet his gaze - dark, furious, and blazing with an intensity that sends liquid heat straight to your core. "This ends tonight," he snarls, mouth crashing down on yours in a kiss that's more violence than affection, teeth clashing as he claims you like he's staking territory.
