The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1216

The moment Everett flicked the switch, the buzzing sound filled the air, sending Dorothy darting for cover.

But her strength was no match for Everett's, leaving her with no choice but to plead, "Please, don't use that! I'm scared!"

"There's nothing to fear," he assured her, brandishing the box like a prized possession and insisting on reading its promises of “ultimate sensations for a blissful life” right into her ear, word for word.

Cornered and flustered, Dorothy was at her wit's end.

"I don’t want it. Can you just not? Everett…"

"Just once," he urged with a sincerity that filled his eyes, "If you feel uncomfortable at any point, we'll stop, I promise."

Dorothy couldn't fathom where this man found his energy. Most executives were dead tired by the end of the day, barely managing to wash up before collapsing into bed. Yet Everett? He seemed to have reserves of stamina, always ready for his peculiar hobbies after a long day's work.

"Twice? Everett, I don't even want to do it once today. I'm exhausted!"

Though he was strong, she simply couldn't keep up.

Even with Kevin's help, she was still dead on her feet. How was she supposed to handle Everett's demanding interests?

"Just twice," Everett appeared to give in after a moment's thought, then quickly amended, "Okay, how about this? Just once, but let me lead the way this time."

"…"

"I've never tried this before. I’m just curious," he said, his lips curling into a boyish grin, his eyes shining with the thrill of a new toy.

Dorothy wanted to kick him away, but instead, found her ankle caught in his grasp.

"Let go of me!" she protested, her cheeks burning with embarrassment.

Just as she managed to free her hands to push him away, he easily caught her wrists, lifting them above her head.

This position...

Dorothy felt like a lamb on the chopping block, completely at Everett's mercy.
