Chapter: 292

He spoke up, sounding a little frustrated. "I can't read your mind just by looking at your eyes. If you want something, say it out Loud."

Alicia's wrist started to ache, and her movements slowed down. She took a breath before asking, “Did you throw away the condoms I bought last time?"

Caden shook his head. "No."

“Then are you planning to use one, or..."

Caden already knew what Alicia was about to suggest. He cut her off with a question. “Is your head fully healed? I don't want to end up calling an ambulance later."

Alicia was at a loss for words.

The room suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Caden could sense what she wanted, but she seemed hesitant. He took her delicate fingers in his, guiding them.

He met her eyes and spoke directly. “When you're healed, we can take our time."

He placed his other hand firmly on her abdomen, putting his finger on her navel.

He paused, then said, "Here. Think about it. Do you think it can reach this far?"

Alicia's heart skipped a beat. She felt an intense pressure building inside her.

Before Alicia could catch her breath, Caden pulled her closer and kissed her.

His kiss was aggressive, leaving her no room to react.

She winced at the sudden bite on her lip. She tried to pull away, but her strength wasn't enough. Her resistance only seemed to make it look like she was teasing him, which led to an even fiercer response from Caden.

She felt her body shiver uncontrollably as she tried to keep up with his intensity.

Alicia couldn't find the right words to describe just how intense Caden could be when it came to sex. She realized that if they actually ended up doing it and she couldn't handle it, there would be no way for her to escape. He would pull her back without any hesitation.

A sense of fear washed over her, and regret began to settle in.

Caden seemed to notice her hesitation. He could feel her starting to pull her hand away. His voice came out husky as he asked, “What's the matter?"

Alicia wanted to get out of this situation. She lied, hoping it would work. “I... have a headache."

"You seemed just fine when I was focusing on you," he said bluntly.

Caden didn't believe her for a second. He stared at her and added, “Whatever happens, you'll stop only after I'm done."

Alicia didn't know how to respond.

Once Caden was done, he picked Alicia up and carried her to the bathroom to clean up.

They hadn't taken things all the way.

Still, both of them were exhausted, and their bodies were drenched in sweat.

Alicia soaked in the bathtub while Caden took a shower on the other side of the transparent glass partition.

The distance between them was small, with just the thin partition separating them.

Caden turned off the water and began applying soap to his skin.

Alicia rested her head against the edge of the tub and spoke clearly.
