Chapter: 507
Hearing her tender voice, Caden felt even more turned on. His voice dropped an octave, turning hoarse. "Now that we're apart... do you miss me?"
Alicia's thoughts scattered, her pulse racing.
How could he ask something so shameless?
What an asshole!
She sucked in a shaky breath, feeling like a fish gasping for air.
She knew he wouldn't believe her answer, but she refused to admit the truth all the same. "No."
Caden wasn't looking for honesty.
He just wanted to toy with her, and the knowing chuckle that followed made that clear.
“Second question-at the bar that night, did you enjoy it when that male escort flirted with you?"
Alicia blinked. She couldn't even remember the guy's face.
She licked her dry lips, trying hard to recall.
But try as she might, all she could see was Caden's face.
"No," she replied, choosing the easiest route.
Caden hummed in satisfaction. "Good girl."
His breath grew heavier, the tension thick in the air.
Alicia bit her lip, feeling trapped in this game he was playing.
“One last question," she urged, her voice trembling, “then I'm hanging up."
Caden paused, drawing out the silence before asking in a low, almost teasing tone, "Did this call... make you feel good?"
Alicia's scalp tingled. She couldn't bring herself to answer, but her ragged breathing betrayed her.
Caden couldn't help but laugh. Sure enough, she was as easy to read as a book.
"Seems like you really enjoyed yourself." In a voice thick with seduction, he added, “I thought you'd be used to me by now, but I have to say... you picked up the trick on your first try."
In response, a sharp beep blared into his ear.
Alicia had hung up on him.
Caden stared at the phone, his chest rising and falling with laughter.
How could someone so stubborn be so obedient at the same time?
She always did whatever he asked, yet she always acted like she had no choice!
He took a deep breath, glancing down at his restless body.
It felt like a bundle of nerves-tense, unsatisfied, and in a word, a real headache.
With a resigned sigh, he rose and made his way to the bathroom to deal with the rest of his frustration.
As absurd as it was, the incident left Alicia unsettled for days.
