He set down his pool cue and turned to head downstairs, but Xanthea, arms crossed, teased him from behind, "Oh, it seems you can't handle it, Mr. Lockwood." Her words stopped him in his tracks.

In the next instant, before Xanthea could react, he grasped her hand and firmly pinned her against the pool table. "Spread your fingers, arch the joints upwards slowly, thumb pushed close to the index finger to secure the cue properly, so it won't slip." up His voice, deep and resonant, echoed in her ears.

"Mr. Lockwood, are you feeling hot?" 1/2 Chapter 48 "Focus on the game." Orion's voice was firm, though hoarse enough to lose sof its intimidating power.

It was obviously hot, yet she wasn't allowed to mention it! Wait, why was he getting even closer? Didn't he know he was too warm? "Use your r right thumb and index finger to grip the cue, the other three fingers can also hold it lightly."

The closer he got, the more difficult it was to speak each word, but he couldn't resist, the person he could sist oply dream about was right in his arms. He wanted to be closer, much closer, without considering the consequences.

As he moved in too close, losing all sense of distance, e Xanthea suddenly exclaimed so, hitting it like this should work, right?" Her joy caused a slight movement of her body, inadvertently causing her.....

Orion's mind exploded in a burst, as raw desire was starkly revealed. The stiffening of her body was like a splash of cold water, snapping him back to reality, causing his grip on the cue to falter.
