Orion Miller's POV.

"So, you went into the ring with him?!" I ask her.

She winces as I rub antiseptic on the cuts on her hands.

She nods.

"Yeah. I did." She responds, looking away.

"How did that go?" I ask.

"I... lost my temper." She says.

I nod and I tip her face up to look at me.

"Listen to me, sweetheart." I tell her.

Her eyes gloss over.

She looks ready to cry.

My heart drops painfully.

I don't like seeing her in pain.

She blinks the tears away, not wanting me to see.

I lean down and I give her a gentle kiss.

She kisses me back and I pull away first, so I don't get distracted.

"Stay the night. It's the weekend, and I want to spend it with you. Aaliyah would be plenty excited too" I tell her.

She rests her head on my shoulder.

"Okay" she responds, unresistingly.

I rub her back and we sit in silence for a bit.

I then wrap her hands up, and I carry her up the stairs, realising that she's limp and sleepy from the pain medication I gave her.

She wriggles in my grip.

"You don't gotta, Orion" she says, hiding her face in her hands.

I chuckle.

"I want to" I respond.

As soon as we're in my room I put her down, and I hand her a shirt.

"You can change in the bathroom if you'd like" I tell her.

She smiles, leans up, and kisses me deeply.

I kiss her back, wrapping my arms around her hips.

She pulls away first.

"What was that for?" I ask her, feeling my skin warm.

She gives me a small smile and rubs her thumb across my bottom lip.

"Thank you for respecting me like this. I've never been in a relationship, where that has happened before." She says.

Without waiting on my response, she goes into the bathroom.

I take off my sweatpants and I get into bed, waiting for her.

I normally sleep naked.

But since Violet is here, and she will be sleeping next to me, I'd rather not go through the temptations.

The door opens and Violet steps out of the bathroom, having changed.

I gulp.

Avoiding temptation?

Out the window.

The shirt I gave her goes just up to her knees.

It's baggy, but it hides very little of her curvaceous body.

I lick my lips.

She told me about that Michael guy's offer and all I can say, is that he better not use this as a way to get to her.
