The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

On the way back, Dorothy rested her head against the car window, silent the entire ride.

Everett, with one hand holding hers, spoke gently. "What's wrong? Still feeling down? I can stand up for you again, make sure you're satisfied." Dorothy snapped back to reality, offering a wry smile.
