The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 816

They had been living on the edge for a while there.

"Dorothy, you're hammered."

"I am not! I can still tell you're Everett, can't I?" she slurred.

Everett pressed his lips together in a thin line, his brow furrowing as he began, "Then do you remember my mother—"

He cut himself off, unable to continue. As his thoughts drifted elsewhere, he loosened his hold on her inadvertently.

And that was all the opportunity Dorothy needed. Slipping her hand along the curve of his waist, she found her way in and hit the jackpot!

"Mmm..." Everett couldn't help but let out a muffled moan. His large hand immediately reached for her wrist, trying to pull her hand away.

"Dorothy, let go of me!"

She wasn't intimidated in the slightest; instead, she let out a silly giggle, "Mmm, you're so warm... so hot..."

"Let. Go. Now."

"I won't!"

Far from releasing him, she gripped him even tighter upon sensing his attempt to pull her hand away.

Everett knew he couldn't use force to extract her hand without risking injury to his most sensitive area.

"Dorothy! Be gentle!"

"Then take off your pants... they're chafing my arm. It hurts..."

At that moment, Everett relived every sorrowful memory he had, yet still couldn't suppress the wicked thoughts swirling in his mind. He gazed at Dorothy's face and then steadied her head, tilting his own to plant a kiss.

Not only did Dorothy tremble, but Everett shuddered too as he pushed forward. He truly believed he would never be able to touch Dorothy again...

"It hurts... Everett, it hurts..."

Dorothy's small hands clutched his shirt tightly, her voice barely above a whisper.

She was still lying there like a log. Her breath was gentle, and her eyelids were tightly closed.

Everett stroked her hair with his hand, over and over again.

It was only as dawn began to break that he got up and left, closing the bedroom door behind him.

...

Dorothy was truly plastered. She hadn't expected the punch to hit her so hard!

In fact, when she had stumbled to the bathroom earlier, despite feeling dizzy, she wasn't so far gone that she couldn't walk or recognize people!

She slept straight through to noon the next day before she groggily woke up.

She lifted her arm instinctively. "Ugh..."

Her body was sore all over.
