The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 487

"Not enough, nowhere near enough. You complimented my six-pack, saying I was good and raving about my strong back and stamina!"

All those words, she'd never utter when sober, were out in the open that day!

Dorothy couldn’t bear to hear anymore of what happened next.

"Umm... Everett, I'm tired. Can someone take me to my room, please?"

Everett's expression darkened. "Weren't you going to stay with me?"

"No, no, I’d better head off. I'll come back tomorrow!"

She needed time to process this whole revelation!

"No way!" Now it was Everett's turn to panic, "You can't just leave like that."

"Is there something else?"

Of course, there was!

He had a very serious issue to address!

Their eyes met, and then he directed her gaze down toward his lower half—the part of him that was still defiantly making its presence known.

"Dorothy, you can't be this cruel."

Cruel?

She was about ready to flee the country!

"Goodnight!"

Dorothy was about to leave, but she heard Everett’s sharp inhale behind her.

"Ah... yikes!"

She rushed back, looking him over anxiously. "What's wrong? Did you pull your injury? Does it hurt a lot?"

Looking up, she met his eyes, twinkling with mischief.

"You! You're such a rogue!"

Everett's strong hands firmly caught her wrist, and his handsome face filled with sincerity. "Dorothy, I'm in pain."

"Where does it hurt?"

"There. It's aching because it's pent up."

Dorothy tried to break free but worried about hurting him. She hesitated, caught in a dilemma. "Can you stop messing around? Even if I stay, there's nothing I can do, right?"
