My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 323

He would kill her. If not her, then Benjamin!

What to do? What to do?

Xanthea was frantic, like a wife to be caught cheating by her husband.

She absolutely couldn't let him come in!

Just as she was about to run over, the door creaked open, and Orion walked in, immediately noticing the panic in her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Ah, nothing, nothing."

"Nothing? Then why are you so quiet?"

"I, uh, I was just sleeping and didn't hear you!"

Xanthea regretted her words instantly. Sleeping? She was just digging herself deeper!

"Uh. Orion!"

Before he could respond, she suddenly raised her voice, as if signaling something. In the fitting room, Benjamin froze..

Now that Orion was here, Benjamin absolutely couldn't come out!

This jealous man wouldn't spare anyone. Even last time, with a recording as proof, he had doubted her. Let alone this scene, which anyone would misinterpret!

"I was just thinking about you, and here you are! We really are connected!"

She happily leapt into his arms. Orion caught her with one hand, his large hand on her firm, round buttocks pressing her closer. His eyes narrowed comfortably. "Really? You missed me so much, then why didn't you call me last night?"

"I got drunk last night and passed out as soon as I went upstairs."

"Drunk? With whom?"

"Family, don't worry; nothing had happened," she said, smiled sweetly, nuzzling his forehead, "Orion, I'm hungry. Can we go out to eat?"

"No need, I brought food."

"B… but..."

She stammered. Orion raised an eyebrow, seemingly amused, waiting to see what other excuses she could come up with.

Unable to find another excuse, Xanthea decided to use her charm.

She lowered her head slightly, pecked his thin lips, then slowly tried to deepen the kiss. Her inexperienced but eager actions were incredibly tempting, making his breath grow heavy.

But to her surprise, Orion set the food box, pressed her against the wall, and kissed her fiercely. It was wild and overwhelming, like a beast devouring its prey, growing more intense and passionate with no intention of stopping.

Her goal was to have him take her out to eat, not to have him devour her here!

"Orion."

Xanthea kept pushing against his chest, using the brief moment when he let her breathe to make her demand, "You kissed me, so you have to take me out to eat!"

Unexpectedly, Orion slowly released her. Despite the lingering desire in his dark eyes, his voice was clear, "You kissed me first."
