The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 571

Today, if Karen could actually make it to that blind date, he'd eat his own hat.

But it didn’t cost three times to exhaust a woman. By round two, Karen was already speechless. Her whole body was drenched as if she'd been pulled from a stormy sea.

"I really... can't do this..." she rasped. Her voice was hoarse and breathless, her fiery spirit worn down to a mere whisper of surrender.

Jeffrey, too, was feeling the burn of exhaustion that came from days without proper rest. But that didn't stop him from teaching the woman beneath him a lesson.

"Still thinking about that blind date?" he taunted.

"If I say I won't go, will you stop?" Karen wheezed, her throat as dry as a bone.

He raised an eyebrow, "Maybe."

"Fine, I won't go. Now let me go," Karen managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper.

Satisfied with her capitulation, Jeffrey gave one final push, bringing their second round to a swift conclusion.

He withdrew, standing to fetch a bottle of water from the trunk of the car for Karen, who was too exhausted to even reach for it without trembling.

Feeling magnanimous, Jeffrey unscrewed the cap and held the bottle to her lips, "I'll feed you."

Karen was too spent to argue so she obeyed.

Her phone chose that moment to ring—it was Derek.

It was time for the blind date. He was calling to hustle her back home.

Jeffrey watched her with an intensity that made her skin crawl.

"Don't you dare speak," Karen whispered threateningly.

"And you can’t go on that date."

"Look at me! I'm a hot mess. I couldn't go on a blind date if I wanted to!"
