Chapter 840


    The height difference made Dorothy''s attempts at stealing kisses a bit of a challenge; she couldn''t


    pin him against the wall like Everett could, kissing her however he pleased.


    Standing on tiptoe until her calves ached, it barelysted a minute!


    Feeling a tad disheartened, Dorothy was about to give up when suddenly a firm hand sped her


    waist, pinning her in ce.


    "Getting bold? You haven''t been sneaking off to see Keh, have you?" Everett''s voice teased.


    Dorothy was so flustered by his usation she couldn''t find her words.


    "Hit a nerve, did I?" Everett''s grip tightened.


    She sighed in resignation. "I''m amazed you''re bringing him up again! If I saw Keh, why would I


    need to sneak around?"


    "Dorothy!"


    "It''s true! I just went for a walk, came back, and suddenly I really wanted to kiss you! If you don''t


    want to, then fine."


    She feigned leaving, but the strong hand on her waist wasn''t letting go anytime soon.


    "I want to," he murmured into her ear, his voice deep and husky, "I want to kiss only you."


    Dorothy''s cheeks flushed, and she pushed against him instinctively.


    "I don''t want to kiss you now, I... I''m going to take a shower!"


    "Then I''ll kiss you."


    Everett bent down, scooped her up sideways, and tossed her onto the bed.


    After the world stopped spinning, Dorothy found herself nestled in theforter, the brief dizziness


    making her forget to struggle to sit up.


    Soon, his kisses descended like rain on her lips, her face, her forehead, and many... unexpected


    ces.


    Feeling ticklish, Dorothy squirmed.


    "Everett..."


    "Today, since you''re so forward, why don''t we try something different?"


    She opened her eyes to meet his intense gaze. "Different, how?"


    He smirked, his hands gripping her waist, and with a swift move, Dorothy found herself straddling


    his lower abdomen. The heat from his body was undeniable.


    "Tonight, you''re on top."


    Dorothy''s hands scrambled for something to hold onto, panic rising within her.


    "No, I don''t want to..."


    "Just this once, I''ll be quick."


    Before she could protest, her voice turned into a soft, fragmented whisper.


    After that, Dorothy no longer believed Everett''s promise to "be quick."


    Fool her once, shame on him; fool her twice, shame on her, but surely not every time!


    After a tumultuous night, the room finally quieted down.


    Dorothyy on her side, clutching her belly, her brows furrowed in difort.


    Everett, realizing he had been a bit too rough, quickly pulled her into his arms to soothe her.

    "I''m sorry... I didn''t control my strength..."


    "Hmph!"


    Dorothy didn''t want to deal with him, feeling a painful soreness in her abdomen that made it hard to


    even rise.


    "Stop being mad. I''ll carry you to the shower."


    "No need."


    "Then how about I wash a cloth and wipe you down?"


    Dorothy buried her head deeper into the pillow. "I said no need. I''ll lie here for a bit and then go


    shower myself."


    She dared not join Everett in the shower again!


    The memory of theirst encounter in the slippery bathroom, with no support to hold onto and


    completely at his mercy, was still too vivid.


    "I swear, I won''t do anything."


    Hearing this, Dorothy finally peeked out. "Really?"


    "Really."


    "Alright then." She extended her arms to loop around his neck.


    Everett lifted her straight out of the covers, one hand supporting her, the other gently washing her


    hair under the shower.


    Dorothy had no strength left, simply resting against him.


    And Everett kept his promise. Even though he was tempted several times, he spared her in the end.
