Chapter 130:
Alicia threw her accusation at him, clearly frustrated by his actions. “Even an animal needs rest. You didn’t let me have any that night!”
Caden responded calmly, “Animals rest and then keep going the next day. You’ve had a whole week.”
In a stern voice, Alicia retorted, “Are you actually comparing me to an animal now?”
Caden didn’t respond. This conversation had taken an odd turn because of her. Used to handling these kinds of arguments, he knew it was better not to escalate things further. He decided to stay quiet.
When he didn’t reply, Alicia pressed, “So, you finally understand how wrong you were, don’t you?”
Caden simply shook his head. “Technically, I haven’t done anything wrong according to the agreement. But I’ve learned that sometimes it’s smarter to admit fault.”
Alicia blinked in surprise. What was he talking about? Did he mean from experience with other women?
Trying to stay composed, she said, “I thought you were more of the controlling type when it came to relationships.”
Caden smiled faintly, his expression softening. It was clear he was thinking about someone else. “I wouldn’t dare be that way. She’s a handful.”

This was the first time Alicia had seen him smile like that. Whoever he was thinking about seemed to leave him both frustrated and amused.
Alicia wanted to mock him. He was such a confident man, yet some woman had bested him.
As she tried to smile, she realized her lips felt stiff. She rubbed her cheeks and quickly looked away, trying to avoid his gaze. “I need to revise the agreement. Some parts are unreasonable.”
Caden noticed the shift in her tone and immediately stopped smiling. Without questioning her mood, he responded, “If agreements could be changed at will, they wouldn’t mean much.”
Alicia frowned. “You said you’d respect me, but you only cared about your own pleasure. Isn’t that a violation?”
Caden responded bluntly, “Weren’t you enjoying it too?”
She had no answer to that. Her face turned red, but she kept her tone firm. “Either way, you went too far. I insist on making changes to the contract.”
It seemed she was determined to make this happen. Caden paused for a moment before agreeing. As she worked on the revisions, he moved closer, slipping her pants down.
She usually wore loose pants for comfort, which made it easier for him now. Alicia quickly tossed the mouse aside and tried to stop him. “What are you doing?”
Caden held her legs in place. “Just checking if you’re hurt.”
Alicia glared at him. “Yeah, right!”
“Why are you suddenly so angry?” Caden looked straight into her eyes. “I admit that night I went a bit overboard, but I checked, and you weren’t hurt. I even gave you a week to recover. If you’re still upset, then I must have missed something. I need to figure out why.”
Alicia fell quiet for a moment. His question, “Why are you suddenly so angry?” caught her off guard. Was she truly angry? She wasn’t. She was just irritated by his lack of control.
She quickly grabbed her pants and pulled them on. “I’m not hurt. What bothers me is how you keep tormenting me.”
“Who stays mad for an entire week?” he said, his voice tinged with disbelief.
She didn’t have a response to that.
Something felt off, but she didn’t want to dwell on it. She finished putting on her pants and turned her attention back to the agreement, muttering under her breath, “I’m not mad anymore. Let’s just focus on fixing the agreement.”
Caden remarked, “We can handle that later.”
She gritted her teeth, feeling at a loss for words once again. “No, I’m not in the mood.”
She began typing furiously, documenting every detail about their sexual activity, including how often it would happen each month and how long it would last. After finishing, she calmly listed out the changes she had made to the agreement and read them aloud to Caden. “Let me know if you have any issues with it.”
Caden wasn’t interested in being formal.
He slipped his hand inside her shirt, trying to make her horny. “No. It’s all right with me.”
Despite his dismissive tone, he kept his eyes on the screen, making sure Alicia wasn’t trying to slip Iri something he didn’t approve of.
Alicia, on the other hand, didn’t have time to plan anything.
Even though she’d just said she wasn’t in the mood, Caden’s touch awakened something in her. They hadn’t done it that often, but he had already learned her most sensitive spots.
She already felt a strange pull toward him, and his touch quickly weakened her resolve.
Caden held her neck gently and leaned in to kiss her. When he pulled away, he noticed her eyes sparkling with emotion. A grin crossed his face. “Are you starting to feel it now?”
Alicia turned her head away.
“No,” she murmured, trying to push him back.
Caden saw through her resistance and said softly, “I came strong last time because you made me wait too long. If you reject me today, we’ll end up right back where we started.”
Alicia didn’t know what to say.
“Isn’t that a bad deal?” Caden’s voice was soft as he slipped off her last piece of clothing. Startled, Alicia quickly grabbed his hand.
But then he pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her waist and pressing her against the table.
He caught her wrists and intertwined their fingers, holding her still.
Alicia tried to struggle, but her body betrayed her. She bit her lip in embarrassment. “Fine. We can do it once.”
Caden chuckled softly, brushing his lips against her ear.
“All right. Whatever you say. Good luck.”
