His kiss caught her completely off guard, sealing her lips in a sudden embrace.
Dorothy could only clutch at his shirt, tilting her head back to savor the warmth of his lips.
This kiss was different from the others; Everett was gentle, as if afraid he would break her, starting with a tender peck and gradually deepening...
When the kiss ended, he didn't let go of Dorothy, merely pulling back slightly.
"Dolled up for someone special, huh?" he teased.
Flushed and unable to meet his gaze, she mumbled, "I just thought... you know, for a trip, one ought to... spruce up a bit..."
"Not for me?"
"Definitely not."
Everett smirked. "Then you're confined to this room today."
Dorothy blinked. "Why?"
"If it's not for me, then no one else gets a look."
"That bossy? Mr. Lopez, been binge-reading those CEO romance novels lately?"
He raised an eyebrow. "You into that?"
Shaking her head, she replied, "Not really."
But her friend Karen sure was! Especially the steamy ones, and she would pull Dorothy aside at The Prosperity Consortium the next day to rave about them.
So... Dorothy had skimmed a few.
"Do you like roses?"
She pondered for a moment, then shook her head again. "Not particularly."
Everett frowned, his long fingers tilting her chin to force her eyes to his. "Then why accept the roses from Kenneth?"
"You know about that too?"
"So you knew they were from Kenneth, huh?"
Dorothy realized she had walked right into his trap and pouted.

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...
