My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 393

"Hold-holding back?"

Xanthea was utterly flabbergasted, her words tripping over each other. "I fainted when you held back yourself. If you don't hold back, won't I die?!"

"No."

Orion's brow lifted, his magnetic voice mixed with a scorching breath sprayed gently against her delicate ear, "I'll only make you buzzing."

Memories of last night's whirlwind passion flashed through her mind.

Her cheeks flushed as she shyly pinched his solid abdomen, a gesture so featherlight it felt more like a seduction. Unable to help himself, Orion leaned in closer and pressed down, his voice husky, "Xannie, darling."

"Oh my God, Orion, what are you doing?"

"Don't come over, or I'll really die!"

"Let me go, let me go now!"

Grumble.

Amidst Xanthea's frantic struggle, the sound of her empty stomach made its protest known.

Hearing this, Orion halted and his heated mind gradually cooled down.

They hadn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon.

"I'll go cook."

He paused for a moment, then lifted the covers and got up. Xanthea, caught off guard, glimpsed his unshielded form and quickly turned away.

Outside, a chorus of sparrows sang from the branches of a lush oak. It was really a huge tree!

"No need, we're running late."

"I'll head straight to the office for the script reading. I can eat something there."

As she spoke, Orion's back stiffened, and he turned around slowly to look at her.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Xanthea clutched the sheets tighter, fearing another advance, "What's with that look?"
