My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 110

Hadn’t she promised herself that the next time she saw Orion, she would definitely give him a piece of her mind? But when the time came, not only did Xanthea not give him any grief at all, she ended up shamelessly accepting a meal from him. Worse yet, she had even taken leftovers home! It was utterly spineless!

How could she face him next time and righteously criticize him the next time they met?

One thing was clear: as a leader, Orion knew exactly how to win people over.

Staring at the gift box in her hand—which girl could resist a sweet cherry-topped mousse cake?

Orion: “Ms. Nightshade, good night.”

Although Xanthea didn’t want to engage, there was an old saying that one should not bite the hand that feeds. Thus, before closing the door, she still managed to say, “Good night, sweet dreams!”

But that didn’t mean she had forgiven him! Or that she had, well, best to try the cake first!

Had she just greeted him?

Orion paused, his hand on the doorknob, savoring her “sweet dreams” over and over before finally closing the door.

The large room felt empty and silent, devoid of any of the joy or liveliness when the girl was present.

He slowly pulled his hand from his pocket, revealing a piece of delicate, sexy lace underwear embroidered with a cute Hello Kitty—her favorite cartoon character from childhood.

For the first time, he was this close to her—separated only by a wall, so close her most intimate piece of her clothing in his palm, yet he felt it wasn’t enough, nowhere near enough.

He desired to have her, to embrace her, to kiss her, to possess her completely and perhaps even to confine her to a place where she could only ever see him.
