Wu Suo Wei woke to an empty bed and muffled voices outside the bedroom.
He checked the clock—6 AM.
He got up and cracked the door open, hearing Chi Cheng's voice, low and deadly.
"—I don't care how many men they have.
I'm ending this today. The Zhao family threatened what's mine. They will die. All of them."
"Boss, that's fifteen locations, over a hundred men—" Guo Cheng Yu's voice.
"Then we hit them simultaneously. Coordinate with our allied families. Call in every favor. By tonight, the Zhao name doesn't exist in this city."
Wu Suo Wei felt cold.
This was about him.
People were going to die because of him.
He opened the door fully. "Don't."
Chi Cheng turned, his expression softening slightly when he saw Wu Suo Wei. "Go back to bed babe—"
"Don't kill them because of me."
"They threatened you. They have to die. That's not negotiable."
"There has to be another way—"
"There isn't." Chi Cheng crossed to him,
cupping his face. "You're mine to protect. That means eliminating threats.."
"I'm a doctor. I save lives, I don't—"
"You save lives, & I end them. That's how this works." Chi Cheng's eyes were hard. "I won't apologize for protecting you. For doing what needs to be done."
"Boss," Guo Cheng Yu interrupted. "We have confirmation. Zhao Wei is at their main compound. All the leadership in one place."
Chi Cheng's smile was cold. "Perfect.
Assemble everyone. We move in one hour."
He turned back to Wu Suo Wei. "Stay in this room. Lock the door. Don't come out until I come back."
"And if you don't come back?"
"I always come back." Chi Cheng kissed him hard, "Because I have you to come back to."
Then he was gone, and Wu Suo Wei was left alone with his fear.
Eight hours later:
Wu Suo Wei paced the bedroom, his mind spiraling. It had been eight hours since Chi Cheng left.
What if Chi Cheng was hurt? What if he was dead? What if—
The door burst open.
Chi Cheng stood there, alive but covered in blood, his eyes wild and dark...
"You're hurt—" Wu Suo Wei rushed forward, doctor instincts overriding everything else.
"Not my blood." Chi Cheng grabbed him, pulling him close, burying his face in Wu Suo Wei's neck. "It's done. The Zhao family is Dead...
"You're safe now baby."
Wu Suo Wei felt him trembling—
"How many?" Wu Suo Wei whispered.
"Does it matter?"
"Yes."
"Enough." Chi Cheng pulled back to look at him. "Enough that no one will ever threaten you again. Enough that the entire underworld knows—
touch what's mine and I'll destroy everything you."
Wu Suo Wei should be horrified. Should be disgusted.
Instead, he pulled Chi Cheng toward the bathroom. "Shower. Get the blood off. Then let me check you for injuries."
Chi Cheng's eyes darkened with something other than violence.
"Only if you join me."
Wu Suo Wei's breath caught.
"Chi Cheng—"
"I need you." Chi Cheng's voice was raw. "I just killed dozens of people.
I need to feel something other than death.
Need to feel alive. Need you."
Wu Suo Wei understood—
Chi Cheng needed to remind himself he was human. That he was more than just a killer.
"Okay," Wu Suo Wei whispered.
The shower was massive, steam filling the space as hot water washed away the blood.
Wu Suo Wei carefully cleaned Chi Cheng's skin, checking for injuries, finding only minor cuts and bruises.
"You're lucky," Wu Suo Wei murmured.
"I'm skilled." Chi Cheng caught Wu Suo Wei's wrist, pulling him closer. "And I had motivation. Had to come back to you."
His hands slid to Wu Suo Wei's waist, pulling their bodies flush. Wu Suo Wei gasped at the contact—
"Chi Cheng—"
"Tell me to stop." Chi Cheng's hands moved up Wu Suo Wei's sides..
"Tell me you don't want this and I'll stop."
But Wu Suo Wei couldn't say it.
Because he did want this.
Wanted Chi Cheng.
"Don't stop," Wu Suo Wei breathed.
Chi Cheng's eyes blazed. "You're sure?"
"Yes."
"Once I start, I won't be gentle. Won't be soft.
I'll claim you completely—"
"I know." Wu Suo Wei pulled him down into a kiss. "I want that. I want you."
Chi Cheng growled, lifting Wu Suo Wei and pressing him against the shower wall, his mouth touch with suo wei's, his hands possessive, his body uncontrolled.
"I wil make you Mine," Chi Cheng groaned against Wu Suo Wei's neck. "Make you completely mine..."
"Try me," Wu Suo Wei gasped, surrendering completely to Chi cheng...
The water ran hot, steam filled the air, and Wu Suo Wei lost himself in sensation—in Chi Cheng's touches...
Chi Cheng started kissing Wu Suo Wei hardly,
pulled off his clothes, Wu Suo Wei was naked,
Wu Suo Wei took off Chi Cheng's blood-stained clothes and pants.
Then he started to apply soap to Chi Cheng's body,
After bathing for a while, Chi Cheng picked up Wu Suo Wei and brought her to the bed.
both of them still wet, still desperate, and made love to him properly —
rough and possessive —
