My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 376

Orion glared, the fire in his dark eyes not diminishing in the slightest but instead growing more intense. "You can't take it!"

"Huh?"

"You're not to accept any romantic scripts!"

His voice was almost a command, dripping with jealousy, which made Xanthea both amused and annoyed. "What? But you just said you'd support whatever I liked. You've changed your mind so quickly?"

Orion's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Do you like it?"

"Of course." Xanthea was about to answer but was abruptly silenced by his threatening demeanor. She stiffened and shook her head quickly, "No, no, I don't like it at all!"

Despicable, shameless, getting angry just like that.

"So, what does Xannie like?"

"It's you, obviously!"

"And I like Xannie too, I like you so much."

Orion lowered his head, biting her neck with obsessive affection and his hands moved to undress her, clearly up to no good.

"Orion, what are you doing?! You promised you wouldn't touch me today!"

"But you made me angry just now, Xannie."

"I was just joking with you!" Xanthea protested weakly, panicking, "I took a suspense script, not a romance!"

Orion wasn't listening, focused entirely on her.

Xanthea felt tears welling up, "Orion, you jerk! You don't care about me at all! You wore me out last night, and now you won't stop, only caring about venting your desires."

It proved that teasing a dog was fine, a bit of coaxing would do; but teasing a wolf was a mistake, as it demanded meat once provoked.

Her crying worked, even if it was fake, it successfully made him halt.

"Do you still want to take romance scripts?"

His low, intimidating voice frightened Xanthea, "No, I don't!"

"Who aroused me? You have to take responsibility."

Who aroused him?! It was obviously because he was too easily stirred, just a hug and you know.

The phone suddenly rang, and Xanthea turned and shushed him.

Eloise?

Why her? Wasn't she supposed to be locked at the research institute conducting experiments? Did the experiment end?

"My best friend's calling, keep quiet."

"Hey, Ellie?"

"Xan!" Eloise's voice came through, "Why aren't you home? I've been waiting here for ages."

"Huh?" Xanthea was taken aback, "Why did you go to my place? Are you at Lakeside Manor?"

"Yeah, I took half a day off from the institute. If you don't come back soon, you won't see me. Hurry back, I have something important to tell you."
