The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 918

"What does this have to do with my well-being?" Dorothy blurted out the question, her eyes clear and innocent.

Everett couldn't help himself; in a swift motion, he pulled her close, his head dipping down to capture her lips in a passionate kiss.

His hands firmly held her slender waist to pin her in place as Dorothy could do nothing but tilt her head back and surrender to his fervent exploration...

As the kiss broke, Everett deliberately pressed himself against her lower abdomen, his voice husky with unmasked desire.

"Get it now?"

"You…!" Dorothy's delicate face flushed a deep shade of red with a mix of anger and embarrassment painting her features.

How could he even think of that when she’s like this? She could never figure it out.

She couldn't believe that even in her current state, Everett's mind was still wandering to such thoughts!

"What about it? You kept asking," he chuckled, releasing her and casually running a hand through her hair. "Dorothy, it's been months since we haven’t slept together. This is just a natural response."

If he didn't feel anything, that would be the real issue.

Dorothy decided not to engage further to avoid another lesson in biology. She grabbed some clothes and retreated to the bathroom.

When she emerged, she found Everett standing by the French doors, deep in conversation on the phone.

His brows were furrowed, his tone cool and distant, a stark contrast to the warmth he'd shown her earlier. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?" he asked the other side.

"From the medical results you've sent me, Mr. Lopez, I can't see anything alarming. No need to worry too much."

"Mmhmm." Everett hung up, turning to see Dorothy standing at the bathroom door.

"Was that Dr. Quincy?"

"Yeah." He nodded, stepping towards her. "Asked her to review your medical files."
