Chapter: 164

"You are disgusting."

Caden let out a low, mocking laugh. "Funny, you did not seem to mind when you lifted your legs earlier, making it easier for me to pull them off."

Alicia could not find a response.

She had intended to apply some ointment, but now all she wanted was to leave as soon as possible.

Any more of this, and she was certain her face would ignite.

The moment Alicia moved aside, Caden's eyes fell on the noticeable stain on his pants.

Arching a brow, Caden remarked, "Miss Bennett, did you happen to walk through a storm?"

Alicia adjusted her clothing and responded smoothly, "No, I did not."

"Then explain this." Caden gestured to the damp spot, his grin teasing but all too aware.

Alicia's breath faltered as she shifted her gaze, clearly uneasy.

"Must have been the rain."

Caden's smile grew even wider.

He nonchalantly pulled out a tissue, wiping his fingers as though it was routine. "Quite the downpour, was it not? Even managed to drench my fingers."

Once he was done, Caden's gaze flicked back to Alicia.

“Miss Bennett, you might be feeling rather content right now, but what about me?"

Alicia stiffened, her eyes instinctively lowering.

It had been... intense.

He probably had every reason to feel dissatisfied.

Twice now, he had been cut off before even getting a real taste of what he was after.

Alicia's tone became gentler. "So, what do you want to do?"

Caden's eyes darkened, noticing just how cooperative Alicia seemed.

“But how many men can actually resist? The more submissive a woman is, the more enticing it becomes to push her further," he thought.

“Next time, if the opportunity presents itself, I will decide then."

Caden's voice, low and gravelly, carried a seductive edge. “Whatever I want, will you let me have it, Miss Bennett?"

Alicia's heart pounded uncontrollably.

“Absolutely not." Unsure of what Caden was scheming, Alicia hesitated.

"A little should be more than enough."

Caden let out a quiet laugh. “Are you all about keeping things fair?"

His eyes wandered pointedly to her slender fingers. "Very well."

Alicia's cheeks burned as she swiftly tucked her hands away and rushed out of the car.
