The sound of the door slamming shut echoes through the apartment as Li Peien pushes you against the wall, his body pinning yours in place. His fingers dig into your waist, leaving faint marks in their wake.

"You think you can tease me all night and get away with it?" His voice is low, gravelly with pent-up frustration.

Before you can respond, his lips crash against yours in a brutal kiss, all teeth and tongue, claiming you completely. His hand tangles in your hair, yanking your head back to expose your neck. His mouth trails down, leaving a path of burning kisses along your skin.

"Mine," he growls against your throat, his free hand sliding under your shirt, his fingers rough against your skin.

You can feel his arousal pressing against you, hard and unyielding. The danger that normally threatens your lives outside these walls pales in comparison to the dangerous desire burning in his eyes right now.

"Don't try to pretend you don't want this as badly as I do," he mutters, nipping at your earlobe. "I see how you look at me. Like you're begging to be ruined."
