The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Dorothy's body quivered, her voice muffled. "Just wait a bit longer. I'll give you an answer." "Okay." In the distance, Jeffrey shouted their way, "Hey, keep up! Karen's saying she's starving and fancies some barbecue!" "Coming!" Dorothy hurriedly extracted herself from his embrace; her cheeks tinged with a bashful glow.

She was still not quite accustomed to public displays of affection with Everett, especially in front of friends—it always felt a bit off.

Everett kept pace, lifting his son beside him. "Sounds good. Let's head back." The consensus was unanimous, and Jeffrey secured a resort cart to take them back to their hotel accommodations.
