My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Chapter 122

The soft, sweet scent of Xanthea nestled into Orion’s arms, like a seductive, charming cat, twisting and turning while murmuring playfully in a childlike voice. It almost instantly stirred something within him, a wild, fierce desire shadowing his still infatuated, handsome face.

He looked down at the unknowingly enticing girl asleep in his arms, his warm palm subconsciously cradling her lovely face, inching closer with every breath.

Even in her sleep, she was a little temptress.

And besides, Ms. Nightshade already had a boyfriend, with whom she was deeply in love. Mr. Lockwood needed to control himself, be careful not to fall too deep and end up unable to extricate himself.”
