The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1211

Dorothy tilted her head back and was immediately caught by the intense look in Everett's eyes, a look that screamed possession as if only through such intimacy could he affirm that she belonged to him.

"Ah, what's up with you now? Not talking and then giving me a hard time," Dorothy said, though her words carried a playful tone, and she didn't make any move to leave. Instead, she chose to stay by his side.

Lately, Everett had been acting like a child!

If staying with him for a bath could make him feel secure and bring back his peace of mind, then she saw no reason not to indulge him.

"Dorothy, you're mine for life."

He pinned her against the wall and kissed her deeply.

The bathroom tiles were cool to the touch, but the steam filled the room with warmth. Trapped in his embrace, she found even breathing felt like a luxury.

"Everett…"

"Say it, repeat after me!"

He pressed his thumb against her forehead, forcing her to only look at him.

With a resigned smile, Dorothy wrapped her arms around Everett's waist and held him tight.

"Everett, I'm yours for life."

Dissatisfied, he kissed her again, more fiercely this time.

"Who are you?"

"..."

"Say it with your name!"

"I, Dorothy, am yours for life."

Hearing her say it slowly, word by word, finally calmed the storm in Everett's heart.

His fingers traced her eyebrows, eyes, nose, and finally rested on her lips.

"Even when you're right by my side every day, it still feels like a dream, Dorothy. Am I hopeless?"

She chuckled, "Looks like you are indeed hopeless!"
