My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace
Chapter 144

Chapter 144 

The sweet intoxication of the wine breath gently wafted from the young woman’s lips, lightly cascading over the man’s sharply defined, cool marble–like face, igniting a burning heat. Accompanied by a lazy. sultry tone in her voice, Orion nearly stopped in his tracks, his eyes instantly deepened. 

He looked down at the girl in his arms, her long, curled lashes fluttering slightly, shading eyes filled with the seductive glimmering lights. Her petite, dazzling face was flushed with the warmth of the drink, casting an enchanting glow on her cheeks. She gently bit her lush red lips with her teeth, a look of playful reproach as if struggling to bear some burden. 

At that moment, she seemed to transform into a mesmerizing, soul–enticing fox, her clothes half–draped as she lay in his arms, gently pulling at his tie, beckoning him with a tender allure. 

A spark of fiery desire ignited in Orion’s pupils, rapidly consuming his composure and restraint, as he felt the soft, fragrant embrace of the woman he had longed for in his arms. He wanted nothing more than to… Yet, Xanthea seemed unaware of the danger, one hand hooked around his neck, while the other teasingly caressed his face. 

From his sculpted eyebrows to the deep hollows of his eyes, sliding down his prominent nose, ending at his thin lips. 

Every spot her delicate fingers touched sparked tingling sensations, sending electric currents through his skin, radiating to every limb. 

Orion’s gaze was intense, his Adam’s apple bobbing, every inch of his flesh and blood thrilled and boiling for her. 

“Hmm?” Xanthea let out a single, intoxicating syllable, “Hey, boy, name your price?” 

“How much are you willing to offer?” 

Orion’s voice, already husky and ominously deep, barely concealed his growing desire. “That depends on how much you’re worth.” 

Xanthea withdrew her hand, her expression playfully mischievous as she eyed him. 

“If you want to serve me, good looks alone won’t cut it, a nice body can’t be lacking either! Let me check out what you’ve got!” 

With that, she swiftly flipped open his suit jacket, and through the thin layer of his silk shirt, she could clearly feel the burning heat and well–defined muscles of his torso. 

Xanthea gasped, her hand withdrawing as if burned, her voice coquettishly complaining, “So tough.” 

This wasn’t at all what she expected! 

She thought, she was just flirting with a pretty boy, not realizing that his physique was so robust. If she angered him it could end badly for her!

“No more, no more, I’m going home!” 

She pushed him away and turned to run, but it was already too late. 

Orion’s face twisted with desire at her coquettish complaint, his pupils flooding with a deep, crimson lust

that seemed ready to devour her whole. 

“Ah-” 

Just as Xanthea tried to flee, Orion’s strong hand grasped her delicate waist firmly. 

“What are you doing?” 

“No, mmm.” 

Before she could struggle, she was forcefully pressed against the cool marble wall, one hand cushioning her head while the other firmly restrained her arms. His hot lips descended like a storm onto her soft, rose–colored lips. 

“Mmm.” 

In an instant, Xanthea’s eyes widened in shock, unable to believe that this audacious man dared to kiss her so boldly! 

The strong alcohol mingled between their lips, catalyzing the intense and ambiguous atmosphere of the night. Outside, the wind and rain beat against the swaying trees, their leaves trembling as if in sympathy with Xanthea being wildly claimed by Orion.
