BURN ME, ORION : The Billionaire's Reclaimed Obsession CHAPTER 46
Anya’s POVIt wasn’t rough.It wasn’t possessive.Just… there.Guiding me gently, steadying me, like he was making sure I didn’t trip or miss a step. My body reacted before my mind did. A small shiver ran through me, and I held my breath without meaning to. He didn’t say anything, and I didn’t look back. But I was very aware of his hand until it finally dropped away.When we reached the top, his hand dropped away, and I felt oddly unsteady without it.Inside the jet, everything felt expensive. The soft leather seats, the warm lighting, the quiet hum of the plane. It smelled clean and faintly masculine, like him. I glanced around, taking it all in, trying not to look too impressed.We took our seats across from each other. The space between us felt intimate in a way I wasn’t ready for.The flight attendants appeared almost immediately. They were beautiful, polished, and smiling too brightly. Their eyes lingered on Orion. Their voices dipped lower when they spoke to him. It was obvious

Anya’s POVThe lights were mostly off, except for a small lamp in the corner that cast long shadows on the walls. His jacket was draped over the back of the couch, his phone in his hand, his eyes locked on me like he’d been waiting. Maybe he had. My stomach twisted.“Why are you coming home so late?” he asked.His voice was calm, but it wasn’t gentle. It was the kind of calm that felt sharp underneath.“I was at work,” I said, slipping off my shoes and placing my bag down carefully, like any sudden movement might set him off.He leaned back and laughed quietly. “I don’t like you coming home late.”Something inside me stirred. Tiredness. Anger. Years of swallowing things whole. I straightened my shoulders.“Why does it bother you?” I asked. “You stay out late all the time, Kennedy. Most nights. And it’s never bothered me.”That’s when he stood up.Slowly. Intentionally.The room felt smaller as he walked toward me. His eyes were dark now, sharp with something ugly. “You’re getting a lo

Anya’s POVI told myself to breathe. This was his fiancée. Of course she would call. Of course she would come. I had no right to feel anything about it.We went back to work in silence.Not even ten minutes later, the door opened.She walked in like she owned the place.Kaia didn’t look at me first. She went straight to Orion, her heels clicking loudly against the floor, announcing her presence. She leaned down and kissed him, slow and deliberate, like she wanted to make sure I saw it.I did.My chest tightened, but I kept my face blank.Only then did she glance at me. Her eyes were sharp. Cold. A warning.Then she smiled and turned to Orion.“There you are,” she said brightly, leaning down to kiss him.He stiffened slightly but didn’t pull away.“I came all this way and you couldn’t even answer your phone properly,” she added, her voice light but edged with complaint.“I did answer,” he said flatly, still typing.She laughed like it was cute. “Barely.”She didn’t ask how he was. Didn

Anya’s POVThe next morning, when I arrived at the mansion, I could tell something was different right away.Orion looked… better.Not completely fine, but better enough that my chest loosened a little. The sharp paleness was gone from his face, and his eyes looked clearer, more focused. He was dressed already, sitting up instead of lying flat, his posture straighter. He still looked tired, but it was the kind of tired that comes after surviving something, not the kind that scares you.I paused at the doorway longer than I meant to, just looking at him.“You look better,” I said finally, stepping inside.He glanced up at me and gave a small nod. “I feel better,” he replied. His voice was steadier too.Relief washed over me, quiet but deep. I hadn’t realized how much I’d been holding my breath until that moment.“That’s good,” I said softly. “The fever really scared me yesterday.”He didn’t comment on that. Instead, his eyes moved over me in that calm, assessing way he had. Not cold. J

Anya’s POVLater that afternoon, Jamie arrived at the mansion with the documents. I met him near the front door, the sound of his footsteps echoing softly through the wide hallway. He handed the files to me, thick and neatly arranged, the edges sharp against my palms. They felt heavier than paper should feel, like they carried the weight of the company—and Orion—with them.“How is he?” Jamie asked quietly, lowering his voice like the walls might be listening.“He’s still sick,” I said. “Fever’s down, but he should be resting.”Jamie frowned. “That man never rests.”I gave a small, tired smile. “I’ve noticed.”He nodded, trusting me with a look that made my chest tighten just a little.I climbed the stairs slowly, careful not to make noise.My footsteps slowed the closer I got to Orion’s room. I didn’t know why my heart was beating so fast. Maybe it was worry. Maybe guilt. Maybe something else I didn’t want to name.I knocked softly and opened the door.I stopped short.Orion was awake

Anya’s POVThe words hit me like a small shock. “No,” I said quickly, shaking my head. “I’m just his assistant.”The doctor raised his eyebrows, clearly surprised, but he didn’t question it. “Well,” he said gently, “assistant or not, you care. That matters.”I didn’t know what to say, so I stayed quiet.He finished up and washed his hands, then turned to me again, serious now. He gave me clear instructions—how often to check Orion’s temperature, when to give the medication, what signs meant I should call him immediately. I listened carefully, repeating everything in my head, afraid I might forget something important.“I’ll send a nurse tomorrow to check on him,” Dr. Trent said as he packed his bag. “He needs rest. No work. No stress.”I almost smiled at that. Orion and no stress didn’t belong in the same sentence.After he left, I walked him out with the housekeeper. When we returned to the hallway, I turned to her.“Please,” I said softly, “could you make some chicken soup? For when
