The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 540

Every time she tried to close her eyes, Everett would deliberately ease up his grip, then jolt her back to alertness, insisting she keep her eyes open to watch him.

Several times, Dorothy bit him hard in frustration, but he seemed impervious to pain and even chuckled in response!

With a mock glare, Dorothy huffed and got up to run a bath.

Everett was a bit of a neat freak, so she took extra care to clean the bathtub thoroughly, wiping everything down before finally turning on the taps.

Before she could finish, she suddenly felt arms envelop her from behind!

She paused for a second, then with a sigh, turned around.

"What now?"

"Help me with my shirt, will you?"

Dorothy pushed him gently. "Your hands aren't broken."

"But I want you to do it." With that, he stretched out his arms, and his loosely worn shirt gaped open, revealing a glimpse of his sculpted abs.

Everett's lips curved into a sly smile, his Adam's apple sharp and bobbing with his breath, almost as if tempting her to leave her unique mark with a bite.

No matter how many times Dorothy saw this, her heart would still race, and her cheeks would flush.

"Can you stop fooling around? I'm leaving!"

"No way."

With one swift motion, Everett pulled her close, breathing softly into her ear, where a tiny mole resided, and spoke in a husky voice, "Where are you running off to? I'm just taking a bath."

Dorothy didn't buy it for a second!

Especially when it came to these matters, he was full of lies, with "just one last time" being the phrase she heard most often.

"The water's ready; you can sit and bathe."

How old was he to still need company? Clearly, he had other things on his mind!

"What if I faint from the steam?"
