The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 640

"Seriously, Jeffrey? You've got the most flexible job on the planet, and you're moaning about a little overtime?" Karen spun around, only to find Jeffrey already closing in on her.

"But it disrupted our cuddle time this morning," he grumbled playfully.

She shot him a glare, remembering the cause of her irritation. "Is that all you think about?"

Holding her close, he quipped, "If I didn't have a few thoughts racing through my mind when I'm holding you, I'd probably have to see a doctor."

He was in the prime of his life, after all!

Karen faced him with a stern look. "Listen, if I end up moving in with you, it'll be a once-in-a-while deal, tops. Otherwise, it's off the table."

The last thing she wanted was to be so spent from their passionate nights that she couldn't function.

"A once-in-a-while deal? Are you kidding me?" he protested.

"Take it or leave it, hotshot."

Jeffrey quickly focused on the heart of the matter. "Fine, once in a while it is. So, when are you moving in?"

He could manage with a little compromise, for her sake.

"Dream on! I still have work, and there’s no way my folks will give the green light for us to play house this soon."

"But our folks have already met; marriage is just a nod away from you. How could they say no?"

Jeffrey wanted to keep her close, warding off any potential rivals.

Like that Levi!

He knew how hard it was to win Karen over, and the thought of losing her to someone else was his worst fear.
