My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

"It's a bit difficult to explain it over the phone, Eloise said, "Are e you busy right now? Can't you come back?"

"Not really." Xanthea glanced at the man wrapped around her, who was lost in his infatuation, "Wait a little longer, I'll be there soon."

"Okay"

After she hung up, she bit her lip gently, speaking to him in a negotiating tone, "Orion, I need to go back now."

Orion abruptly lifted his head, and firmly refused, "No!"

"My bestie's looking for me. She works at a research institute and is currently participating in an experiment, speaking to him in a negotiating tone"

"Still a "no" Orion frowned, holding her tight as if afraid she'd escape, "Who's more important, me or her?"

Xanthea couldn't help but laugh at this all-too-familiar question, "Mr. Lockwood, are you being childish?

Ever since they started dating, he had become like a child, clingy and capricious.

"Childish, yes. So, Xannie, stay with me"

"But she really has something important."

Wrapped tightly in his embrace, feeling his strong heartbeat through his warm chest, she couldn't resist closing her eyes and nuzzling his ear.

Actually, she also wanted to stay with her dear Ori forever,

"How about you take me back now, and I come to you tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Orion paused for a second, his tone softening as he cupped her chin, his gaze intense, "The whole night"

Xanthea caught the implication in his words, her heart skipping a beat, "No"

"If not, then you can't leave."

Damn! The demon of lust, a man after tasting the forbidden fruit was terrifying indeed!

"Keep hesitating."

"Alright, alright, I agree!"

Xanthea nodded rapidly, knowing him well enough that agreeing meant only one night, while refusal could mean two-and that would surely be too much for her

"Good"

Orion, like a triumphant puppy, kept happily nuzzling her Xanthea gritted her teeth, "So, can you take me back now?!"

"No"

"You still owe me before."

Orion's gaze dropped to her loosened collar.

Xanthea, "77" What did she owe her?

He didn't give her a chance to argue, suddenly lowering his head.

"Mmm"

"Orion, stop"

Xanthes held his head, her beautiful face lost in a daze, biting her tender rosy lips to suppress her moans.

Lakeside Manor, the Nightshade family!

"Eloise, try the offer i made for you.",

Susanna made a cup of coffee, and Eloise thanked her, taking a sip. It om was smooth, refreshing, with a g fragrance. "This is lingering wonderful, what kind of coffee is this?"

"It was made from Panama Geisha coffee beans."

"What?!" Eloise almost spilled her tea in surprise. "That's a premium! It's a one of the most expensive in the En world! Did I just drink the

equivalent of a designer handbag?"

"Ha, not that exaggerated," Susanna m said, her face beaming with pride.

"This was a gift from Orion, Xan's dad treasures it a lot. He only. put a little bit in the living room, I have no clue where he keeps the rest"

"I've heard so much about Xan's boyfriend."

"Madam, the young lady is back!"All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Zora came in to announce, and Eloise immediately stood up. "Ill go meet Xan. It's been almost six months; I've missed her so much!"
