Chapter 413:
โThanks for reminding me,โ he coaxed gently. โHow about you take it off then?โ
โNo wayโฆโ Alicia knew he would manipulate whatever she said. She closed her eyes, turned her back, and ignored him. Caden embraced her from behind, turned her around, and kissed her again.
The intimacy felt even more overwhelming in that moment, pushing him toward irrationality. Caden lowered his tone, attempting to appease her. โYouโve forgiven me, havenโt you?โ he asked, though he already knew the answer. โYouโve missed me these days, havenโt you?โ
Alicia bit her lip, remaining silent. She tried to maintain her composure, but the blush creeping to her eyes betrayed her.
โIf you were still mad, you wouldnโt have let me in,โ Caden pressed, furthering his point.
Aliciaโs voice was raspy. โIf I ask you to leave now, would youโฆโ
Caden smoothly changed the subject. โDo you miss me, Lucky?โ
Tears streamed down Aliciaโs cheeks. Caden felt a pang of guilt and leaned in to kiss them away. Alicia shivered slightly, but ceased resisting. What she couldn't resist wasn't Caden's playful taunts, but her lingering feelings for him. Once triggered, her emotions overwhelmed her.
Caden began to make love to her passionately, but stopped short of completion. It seemed he was trying to prove something, kissing her repeatedly and satisfying his desires on his own terms. He was both restrained and indulgent.
The intensity left Alicia stunned and unmoving, her thoughts in disarray. She wondered if she would go to such lengths for a handsome male escort if their roles were reversed. She realized she wouldn't.
Noticing her stunned state, Caden softened his approach. โDid I scare you?โ he asked gently.
Aliciaโs eyes widened. She wasnโt frightened by his body; she was taken aback by his boldness. Although he didnโt stop, he slowed down.
Alicia moistened her dry lips. โCould youโฆ could you stop for a second?โ
Caden, compliant, looked at her intensely. โAre you frightened?โ
Alicia shook her head, avoiding his body and focusing on his eyes. โI just donโt get it, what are you trying to do?โ
Caden swallowed hard. โAn apology.โ
โWellโฆโ Alicia was bewildered. โWhat kind of apology is this?โ If he werenโt so attractive, this would seem completely inappropriate.
Caden clarified, โItโs to demonstrate that Iโm interested in more than just your body.โ
