The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Craig clenched his jaw, his jawline sharpening with tension.

As soon as he spoke, his voice tightened, "Let go of me."

"No way!"

"Aurora, stop messing around!"

Blinking, her long, thick lashes fluttered, her eyes carrying a flirtatious drunkenness, "You called my name, I'm not letting go!"

"Craig, give me a kiss." Aurora propped herself up with her elbow, slowly moving closer to him, "I missed you all day today!"

"Missed me, yet didn't contact me all day, and went out for dinner without telling me, huh?" Craig grabbed a T-shirt and pulled it over her head, "We'll settle this when you're sober." She pouted in dissatisfaction, "Then why didn't you contact me either?"

"Why is it always me who has to reach out first?" The corners of Aurora's eyes reddened with a pitiful look, "Do you even love me?"

It was only when she was this drunk that she would voice such a grievance.

Craig suddenly realized he hadn't given her enough sense of security.

So much so that this girl, who grew up with everything handed to her, the darling daughter of the Lopez family, still felt insecure around him. "Aurora, that's a silly question." He gently wiped away her tears with his fingertips, "I should be the one worried you don't love me."

At those words, Aurora's tears flowed even more, unstoppable.

"But... but I always feel like you agreed to marry me because I pressured you, not because you really love me... you're just afraid of me..."

Craig's lips twitched slightly, pulling her into his embrace, stroking her long hair over and over, "I am afraid, afraid I'm not good enough for you, afraid of all the other excellent men around you, making me, just an ordinary guy, feel like I don't even have the right to win you back."

Ever since that man disappeared leaving debts behind and his mother fell seriously ill, his eyes saw nothing but the need to earn money to pay off debts and keep the debt collectors away from his mother.

As for matters of the heart, Craig had never given it much thought.

Aurora came into his life just as...

the debts were paid off and he started having some extra money, ever enough to put a down payment on a house in Eldorria City,

Not up to much, but definitely not the least among his circle of truck driver friends!

This money could buy a house, hold a wedding, and bring a wife home to start a family.

So, when Aurora showed interest, he accepted, getting his first girlfriend.

money to his wife when he got back.

He just wasn't good at expressing it.

But how could he not love her?

The night Craig decided to break up with Aurora, he tossed and turned, thinking a lot before deciding it was better to end things quickly.

He didn't even have the courage to say it face to face, just sent a message.

"Nobody's taking me away, Craig, I'm yours."

"Yeah."

Her eyes reddened as she looked up at him, "Then kiss me."

"Craig, if you don't kiss me, you're lying, and I won't believe you really care for me—"novelbin

He turned his face, fiercely kissing her babbling lips.

His hand gripped Aurora's wrist tightly, his voice deepening, "I'm a normal man, if you keep this up, I might not be able to stop!"

She laughed, "Then don't stop."

After all, no matter how painful, this experience was inevitable.
