Chapter: 197
"I was reminding you that I still have a cold and a sore throat."
Alicia felt her face burn with embarrassment.
The first thing she did was try to take the box away from him.
Caden lifted his arm, easily dodging her attempt.
With ease, he slipped the condoms into his pocket.
"Don't get too excited. We'll use them later."
Alicia's face turned red. "I'm not excited! I just don't want you to have them!"
Caden turned and headed inside.
"You don't want me to use them?" he teased, twisting her words. "Ms. Bennett, are you more into close, direct contact?"
Alicia wasn't naive. She immediately caught his meaning and coountered, “In your dreams!"
She then pushed hard against his back.
However, he barely moved, and she nearly slipped because she was barefoot.
Caden acted fast, catching her by the waist and pulling her into his arms.
This resulted into her face colliding with his chest.
Ignoring the discomfort, she reached for his pocket.
Caden grabbed her wrist before she could reach into the pocket. “Are you that desperate for them?"
Alicia tried to yank her hand back, but his grip held firm. Feeling frustrated, she stomped on his foot.
Caden dodged it effortlessly.
Her bare foot slammed into the hard floor, sending a sharp pain shooting up her leg, causing her to gasp in pain.
Caden's gaze sharpened as he said, "Relax. I'm starving and too tired to fuck you right now."
His straightforward words caught Alicia off guard once more.
Seconds later, he released her.
"Feed me first." His hand slid over her waist through her clothes.
"Once I'm satisfied, I'll take care of you."
Alicia stood there, completely speechless.
She despised how easily she grasped his meaning.
She hated it even more that her thoughts wandered to such indecent places while her body eagerly reacted to his flirtation.
Unable to respond to his suggestive remarks and desperate to avoid further embarrassment, she pushed him away and dashed into the bathroom.
Caden watched her frantic escape, fighting the urge to laugh.
The laughter bubbled up but quickly turned into a hard cough.
