âNot enough, nowhere near enough. You complimented my sixâpack, saying I was good and raving
about my strong back and stamina!â
All those words, sheâd never utter when sober, were out in the open that day!
Dorothy couldnât bear to hear anymore of what happened next.
âUmm⦠Everett, Iâm tired. Can someone take me to my room, please?â
Everettâs expression darkened. âWerenât you going to stay with me?â
âNo, no, Iâd better head off. Iâll come back tomorrow!â
She needed time to process this whole revelation!
âNo way!â Now it was Everettâs turn to panic, âYou canât just leave like that.â
âIs there something else?â
Of course, there was!
He had a very serious issue to address!
Their eyes met, and then he directed her gaze down toward his lower halfâthe part of him that was still
defiantly making its presence known.
âDorothy, you canât be this cruel.â
Cruel?
She was about ready to flee the country!
âGoodnight!â
Dorothy was about to leave, but she heard Everettâs sharp inhale behind her.
âAh⦠yikes!â
She rushed back, looking him over anxiously. âWhatâs wrong? Did you pull your injury? Does it hurt a
lot?â
Looking up, she met his eyes, twinkling with mischief.
âYou! Youâre such a rogue!â
Everettâs strong hands firmly caught her wrist, and his handsome face filled with sincerity. âDorothy, Iâm
in pain.â
âWhere does it hurt?â
âThere. Itâs aching because itâs pent up.â
Dorothy tried to break free but worried about hurting him. She hesitated, caught in a dilemma. âCan you
stop messing around? Even if I stay, thereâs nothing I can do, right?â
He was in no condition to get up, let alone doing more!
âI canât get up, but you can come on top.â
Dorothy looked as if sheâd heard the most scandalous proposition.
âWerenât you the one who kept insisting on being on top when at that hotel?â Everett, having thrown all
courtesy to the wind, no longer blushed or stammered. âYou said I was too heavy, that you wanted to
control the rhythm!â
âEnough, enough!â Dorothy repeated, exasperated. âI must have been out of my mind that night.â
âStay with me, please?â
As she didnât budge. Everett had to play his trump card.
âBefore I met you, I could take care of it myself with hands. Now, after saving you, here I am, unable to
do anything, and you wonât help meâ¦â
Dorothy looked troubled. âBut, but⦠I was drunk last time!â
The thought of doing it sober was more unbearable than killing herself!
âThen just pretend youâre drunk tonight.â
âHow can one pretend to be drunk?â
Turn the lights off. Itâll be fine. You wonât see anything.â
Staring at his already excited face, Dorothy only wished to travel back in time to nip that topic in the
bud. She cursed herself for bringing it up.
Look what it led to!
She was stuck in this dilemma.
âIâve got injuries on my legs too.â
âWeâll take it slow; weâve got all night.â
They would find a comfortable position eventually; there was no reason to give it up.
He was like a hungry wolf tonight, not the usual abstinent CEO, and he had no intention of letting her
go.
She couldnât escape, so she nodded.
âThen Iâll⦠go turn off the lights.â
âGreat!â
âEverett, doing this⦠it wonât affect your injuries, right?â
âNo, it wonât! Just be gentle.â
