The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Everett suddenly slumped, his entire frame leaning on Dorothy's shoulder, his six-foot-three stature making it hard for her to breathe.
He was silent, simply resting against her.
Dorothy tried to speak several times but held back, deciding to let him catch his breath first.
Then, abruptly, she felt a dampness on her neck. The tears trailed down her collarbone, slowly slipping away.
Everett was crying, soundlessly.
The last time he cried, he blamed it on the whiskey, but this time, he was sober.
"Everett." "Dorothy, you can't keep leaving me," his voice was hoarse, his chest trembled with each word, "Once is enough." He couldn't bear it happening again. Karen had landed a job.
She was working remotely as an event planner, no need to clock in at an office; she could work from home.
Even though Jeffrey suggested countless times that she should drop the idea of working and just enjoy being taken care of, Karen didn't want to be anyone's appendage.
"One grand a month for your salary?" "There's benefits too, you know, health, dental, and retirement plans. It all adds up to more than two grand." Karen was quite content.
Jeffrey smirked and slumped back into the couch, "If you ask me, you should just come work at Lopez Corporation as my secretary. We could even... you know, during lunch breaks." "Don't you think about anything else?" Karen leaned back into the couch and gave him a playful kick.
Jeffrey wasn't bothered; he caught her ankle and pulled her towards him, "When I look at you, that is the only thing I can think of." "Why don't you go find some other women? You've got too much energy; I can't handle it alone." "Nope, I only want you." Seeing him gearing up for more, Karen quickly put up her hand to block him.
"I just called my folks, and I told them I got a job. They want me to come over for dinner tonight. So cut it out." Every time she tangled with him, she was left without any energy, certainly not enough to visit her parents.
As soon as Jeffrey heard she was leaving, he quickly cozied up, "I'm free tonight. I'll come with you to see the folks." "Those are my parents." "Sooner or later I'll have to call them mine, right? Might as well get familiar now." Jeffrey got up and started calling his secretary to order gifts to bring along.
Every time he visited Karen's parents, he'd come bearing armfuls of presents. Slalch Thi (lind)vel.not website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
You can't fault someone for being too generous.
"I haven't agreed to go with you yet." "If you don't agree, then you're not going anywhere either." Jeffrey had become a pro at handling her.
In the evening, they drove to her parents' place together.
Derek was just returning from the market, hands full of groceries. When he got home, he immediately spotted Jeffrey's flashy car a sight no one could miss.
"Dad, I've got this." Jeffrey jumped out of the car, not even bothering to lock it, and rushed over to help Derek with the bags.
His calling Derek 'Dad' with such warmth and eagerness almost put Karen to shame.

"Your mom's upstairs getting ready to make some pies. We didn't expect you'd be back so soon. "We hadm nothing going on, so we thought we'd come early and spend some time with you guys."
