“Don’t move!”

Orion grabbed her wrist and pulled out a first aid kit from the storage compartment.

“I told you, I don’t need your help!”

The girl’s slender, soft body suddenly crashed into his arms, stirring a surge of excitement in the man’s heart.

Orion couldn’t help but wrap his arms around her.

A familiar scent of pine filled his nostrils, mingling with the powerful, chaotic beating of his heart and a warmth so intense it felt as if it could melt him, Flashes of him rescuing her from dark graves and icy waters flickered through Xanthea’s mind.

Deceiving her feelings, making her trust him as the most special friend in her life besides her family, only to douse her with cold reality.

Her soft, moist lips touched his skin. Orion’s body jolted as if electrified, his dark pupils momentarily scattered in sensation. He felt no pain from the bite, only tightening his arms around het, wanting to press her deeper into his embrace, deeper until he could embed her into his body
