"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.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
