The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 556

Karen struggled to free herself, but he wouldn't let go.

"I'm just not up for it today. I'm beat," Jeffrey complained. He felt like his eyes must be ringed with dark circles.

Come on, he was practically an invalid!

"What was the point of bringing me here, then?"

"To get to know the place."

"You said we'd do it three times, and after that, we'd be strangers. What's there to get to know?" Karen snatched her jacket back and slid into it, "If you're not in the mood, I'm outta here."

She stormed out like a gust of wind, not even pretending to leave room for argument.

Jeffrey exhaled sharply and quickly caught up to her with his long strides, "Fine, we'll do it, okay?"

Karen was loss for words. She found what he said awkward.

"It's not like I'm forcing you. You make it sound like I'm the one who's being pushy!"

"No, that's not what I meant." Jeffrey pulled her back into the bedroom, then crossed his arms and started to peel off his shirt.

Karen wasn't quite used to the sight of his bare chest. She quickly looked away, but she wondered if she should sneak another peek after she got a feeling that he was kinda hot.

Despite Jeffrey's frequent bar-hopping, he didn't have a beer belly. Instead, he sported a set of nicely chiseled abs, and when he lifted his arms, you could even catch a glimpse of the defined oblique muscles, also known as "adonis belt."

"If you want to look, just look. You can even touch," Jeffrey moved forward intentionally. He had caught her wandering gaze a long while ago. "Why don't you try?" he teased.

"I don't want to!" Karen turned her back on him and covered her eyes. "Turn off the lights and draw the curtains!"

"Hold on, I need a shower first." Jeffrey was feeling grimy after sleeping in his car the previous night. Even his stubble started to show.
