The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1181

She had to endure not just the physical strain and his unrestrained advances but also keep an ear out for any sounds outside!

Who knew if Quincy might decide to storm back in!

Thankfully, once Everett entered, he let go of her hands, allowing Dorothy to clutch at his shirt for a semblance of security.

"Can you... can you stop... Let's go home, okay?"

"You want me to stop now? You trying to get me killed?"

"But—"

"Dorothy! Don't make this harder!"

Everett suddenly snapped in a low voice, startling her into silence.

But she couldn't control her body's reactions! His scare made her instinctively tighten even more!

"Damn."

Dorothy saw Everett bite down, seemingly holding back something, even stopping his movements.

"Everett?"

"Quiet, don't move!"

"Okay, okay…"

Everett took a few deep breaths before slowly continuing.

Fortunately, this time Dorothy also got more involved, lost in the heat of his kiss.

…

Outside, Kevin was checking his watch for the fifth time.

He had excused himself from work claiming an urgent matter, but upon reaching the hospital entrance, he felt compelled to turn back!

With Quincy's unpredictable nature, there was no telling what she could do!

Her tone earlier had seemed suspicious, but it was unclear what exactly she doubted. If she had left only to sneak back, their cover would be blown.

He couldn't let Mr. Lopez's carefully planned scheme fall apart.

But then again!

It had been an hour…

How much longer would it take inside?

"You don't need to stay here. I have my people at every exit. If they spot Quincy, they'll inform me."

Kevin blinked, cleared his throat, and said, "Oh…"

You could have mentioned that earlier!

Of course, he kept that last thought to himself.

He quickly stood up, stretching, "So, I'll head out? Prepare for tomorrow's meeting?"

"Yeah." Everett nodded, not wanting to wake Dorothy, knowing she must be exhausted, "Leave the car, I'll head straight to Bay Residence later, won't be going to the office."

"Alright, Mr. Lopez! Is the meeting still on for the same time tomorrow?"

"Yes, any changes, I'll let you know."

Kevin flashed an OK sign and hurried off.

Everett returned to the room.

Dorothy was sound asleep on the bed.

The argument with Quincy had been draining enough, not to mention Everett's own ways of wearing her out. She was completely spent.
