The Duke's Marchen
"What do you see when you see me?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her. For a few seconds, she bathed in his warmth. "Do you want me to be honest?" He nodded. "I see a man who changed my world. He chuckled at that. "Not honest enough." She lifted her head. Her beautiful gray eyes stared at his brown ones. "I see the Villain." She gulped and added, "I see someone that would burn the world... just to keep me safe." "Again..." he smiled. "Again?" "I wouldn't hesitate to burn the world again just to keep you safe." .... She loved him like a brother. He loved her more than he loved his life. In his dying breath, the woman that he loved finally cried... for him. At last, he thought before closing his eyes. She was finally looking at him. How ironic. .... "I lost you once. I can't lose you again. " - Duke Li Qiang This is the Story of Li Qiang and his redemption. .... This novel was originally the SIDE STORY of THE CEO's WOMAN. However, you can still read this as a stand-alone as this is the story of the Villain after he died and reincarnated into another world. #reincarnation #slowburn #faceslapping #norapeorabuse #strongcouple #secondchance #Villain #fantasy #royals #R18
Passionate Kiss
"This is a trap, and you know it," Li Qiang hissed as he gripped Wang Rouyun's arm. "You cannot go back."
"And should I let my father die?" Wang Rouyun asked. "Let me go. You must stay here and take care of the bandits."
"You are insane," Li Qiang said. "How could you simply walk in there, knowing he would kill you?"
"Do I have a choice?" Wang Rouyun hissed. "This was his attempt at controlling the empire. You must stay." This time, she removed Li Qiang's hand from her arm.
Once again, she turned her back and attempted to get on the horse, but for the umpteenth time, Li Qiang stopped her. Then without warning, he pulled her in, claiming her lips in a long, passionate kiss.
To his surprise, however, Wang Rouyun did not reject him. Instead, she wrapped her hand around his neck and responded to the kiss. And for what felt like forever, Wang Rouyun kissed him until the two were already out of breath.
