When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira was indeed thinking exactly that. She was certain what kind of drug she was taken because of Evelina and Susanna.

If it had been any other guy, she'd rather die. Lemira gripped his shirt tightly, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, never have."

Orion could feel Lemira's heavy breathing and, with a heart full of empathy, he wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "You're still young, don't just give yourself away to a man so easily!" "But I like you!"

Finally, Lemira voiced her true feelings. She leaned in to kiss his thin lips, her move clumsy yet cautious.

Orion's palms grew hot. He couldn't help but sigh. He knew she was acting this way due to the drug effect.

He secured her head, deepening their kiss. His approach was fierce, much like his dominating personality, taking control of the pace.

Lemira soon slumped powerless into his embrace, her cheeks flushed.

Orion's gaze was intense as he gently brushed her reddened lips, shiny and moist.

Meeting his gaze, Lemira threw all reason out the window. She pushed him down, hands trembling as they pressed against his chest.

Orion's hands circled her waist, the touch making him linger in the moment. His eyes burned with passion, "Lemira, are you sure you won't regret this?"

"I won't regret it!"

She was resolute. After all, he didn't have a girlfriend. She wanted to act on impulse just this once!

Orion flipped over, pinning her in his arms, his breath hot, his voice hoarse, "Silly girl, I don't know how to do with you!"

Lemira was too nervous to utter a word. All her courage had been spent in that moment.

Orion's hands seemed magical, but he covered her eyes, whispering to her ears, "There's another way, aside from this."

Lemira was curious about what

other wan

there could be. Suddenly,

Orion lifted her up and walked

straight into the bathroom, placing

her in the bathtub.

The next second, Lemira was drenched in cold water. Her teeth chattered, "Orion!"

"I'm here!"

Orion knelt before her, his voice gentle, "I'll always be here."

Lemira clutched his hand, eyes closed, trying to confront what she was facing. With him by her side, Lemira no longer felt alone.

That night felt particularly long for Lemira. She had mustered the courage to be with the one she fell for, but he stopped at the last minute.

As Lemira woke up the next day, her mind was flooded with the previous night's events.

Embarrassed, she pulled the blanket over her face, wishing she could just hide away. So embarrassing!

Her body felt weak, as if she had been through a serious illness, drained of all energy. Yet, her mind was clear, vividly recalling wha happened last night.

She kissed Orion proactively, and he kissed back.

Hiding under the covers, she touched her lips, reminiscing the sensation of the kiss. So that was what it felt like.

Her cheeks heated up, recalling that although they hadn't gone all the way, they'd done quite a bit.

After passing out in the bathtub, she now lay clean in bed, dressed by him. Now, Lemira felt shy, unsure how to face him.

She wanted to check the time, stealthily reaching for her phone. But instead, her hand found something warm and slightly hard.

Sneaking a peek, she realized it was Orion's abs! She stealthily withdrew her hand. Maybe she should just slip away while he was still asleep? That wouldn't be too awkward.

"You awake?"

Orion's voice came from above her, squashing her hopes of escape. Lemira held her breath, unsure how to respond.
