The Dangerous Kind of Love

Lou Chong's family had money and a political name in the capital, and he had a reputation at Xijing University that he did nothing to correct. He was good-looking and he behaved as he liked. Li Xing was at the same university, the top scorer in the entrance exam and short of money. Being poor and being the one people looked at made her a target. Her grandmother's hospital bills came due, so she took online work standing in as a client's girlfriend for a fee. One client tried to force her during a booking. Lou Chong pulled her out of it, and that was how the two of them met. A client calling himself Hunter then booked her for a month. Hunter was Lou Chong, and he kept the polite version of himself up in front of her while he arranged her days. She understood who he was when she met Hunter face to face, and she wanted out. He brought up the hospital bills and told her the contract stood, and said he would have her loving him inside the month. She told him it was not going to happen and stayed anyway, because of the bills. For that month he was careful with her and she found a side of him she had not expected. The two of them were seen together in his Aston Martin, where he had lifted her onto his lap with one hand, her back against the wheel and his hand around her wrist while he showed her how. She was in love with him before the month was up.
