Dorothy's delicate face flushed a deep shade of red with a mix of anger and embarrassment painting her features. How could he even think of that when she's like this? She could never figure it out.
She couldn't believe that even in her current state, Everett's mind was still wandering to such thoughts! "What about it? You kept asking," he chuckled, releasing her and casually running a hand through her hair. "Dorothy, it's been months since we haven't slept together. This is just a natural response."

Laying on the couch, Everett finished returning Kevin's work that he had to give an answer to today before he put his phone down and closed his eyes.
Luckily, the couch in this room was large and long enough that he could at least stretch his legs out even though he was filling it up.
Dorothy waited a while before quietly getting out of bed, barefoot to avoid making any noise, and tiptoed over to him.
