My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 128

"I asked you to play along, not to get carried away! Who gave you permission to actually kiss me?"

Xanthea frantically wiped her hand while glowering at him.

She had never been kissed by a man before. Wait a minute!

She almost forgot, that night at the Rlan Hotel, not only did he kiss and hold her, but he also touched her, stealing many of her firsts!

Back then he was drunk, but now sober, he still dared to take advantage!

He was nothing but a thorough scoundrel!

"It makes it look real."

Orion glanced towards the direction Queenie had run off to and offered Xanthea a handkerchief. "Ms. Nightshade, are you not pleased with the outcome?"

Xanthea caught his suggestive gaze and thought, "So it's all my fault, is that it? If he hadn't been flirting around and leading on every girl in sight, would I have needed to resort to such drastic measures to fend off his little admirer?"

Really? After all this, he still claimed it was all an act?

Leonard stared at the photo on his phone of Orion tenderly kissing Xanthea's hand, already calculating the hefty price Orion would have to pay to secure it.

"Pleased, very pleased!"

Xanthea gritted her teeth and snatched the handkerchief, rubbing the neatly folded, expensive fabric into a crumpled mess on her hand.

"Mr. Lockwood, your acting is so convincing, you could win an Oscar!"

"Not as good as yours, Xan."

Orion spoke and headed upstairs.
