need for restraint? It wasn’t their first time, why was Everett suddenly playing coy?
“Got it now.”
“Yeah.”
Releasing her wrist with a huff, Everett grumbled, “Now that you know, just sleep tight and behave.”
This turn of events wasn’t quite what Dorothy had envisioned. They settled back into bed, but this tDorothy didn’t dare to
make even a slight move, curling up like a scared little mouse under the covers. Everett was waiting for her to fall asleep, but little
did he know, Dorothy was doing the same, waiting for him to drift off! As tticked by, it was clear they were both wide awake.
Everett felt a headache coming on from holding back, deciding to get up and head to the master bedroom for a shower, to put
sdistance between them. But as he made to move, Dorothy grabbed him.

“Everett, don’t go.”
“I've got something to take care of.”
“Then I'll cwith you.”
Dorothy was determined to stick by him. Before, pride and the need to save face kept her from being too clingy or sweet, but
tonight, she let all that go, realizing there was no point in holding back. Why hide anything from Everett? Speak her mind, tell him
anything and everything.
“Dorothy, why are you—"
“All clingy all of a sudden? Is that it?”
Everett was about to lose his temper when he was met with Dorothy's smiling face, instantly dousing his anger.
“Everett, I'll try to be more affectionate, just givestime,” Dorothy said, snuggling onto his lap, “Whatever you want, I'll
learn. | just want to make you happy.”
Everett knew he should be touched by her words, but all he could think about was not moving an inch. Especially with Dorothy
lying on his lap, making it impossible for him to leave.
“If you want me, then have me,” Dorothy blushed, “I'm all yours, willingly.”
“|...” Everett started to say he didn’t want to, but his voice was so hoarse it barely sounded like him.
Dorothy reached out her hand, not quite sure where to touch, just fumbling around.
“] want you, to want me.”
“Move aside.”

She was determined to protect their family at all costs. For herself and for their kids.
Everett pursed his lips, his headache intensifying.
“Move aside.”
“l won't.” Dorothy pouted, “Why are you holding back?”
She couldn’t understand! It wasn’t like seeing Quincy made her forbid Everett from being intimate, right?
“Because | don’t want to. It's not about holding back.”
Everett couldn't take it anymore. With a swift motion, he scooped Dorothy into his arms.
“Do you even realize what you're doing?”
“l do.” Dorothy smiled, “I'm fighting for my family.”
Everett didn’t want to hear another word, turning his head to capture her lips in a decisive kiss.
