Chapter 87:
Alicia understood that if this continued, something was inevitably going to happen.
Caden’s eyes were already brimming with desire.
It seemed her instincts were eerily spot-on.
After she fed him the final spoonful of soup, desperately clinging to her last bit of clarity, she attempted to escape, but he swiftly pinned her to the chair.
He pressed his chest against hers as he kissed her with authority.
Then, he held her chin.
Soon, his tongue invaded her mouth.
Alicia began to waver.
During sex, Caden was a completely different man.
Usually, he was impeccably dressed. He projected an air of refinement and restraint. Aside from his occasionally aloof demeanor, he was never aggressive.
But when lust took over, he transformed into a ravenous predator.
And right now, he was savoring every inch of her.
He wanted to enjoy every part of her body.
Feeling his kiss move downward, Alicia opened her eyes and saw the ceiling above. Her vision went blurry.
She was enveloped tightly in his strong arms.
He pulled her closer into his embrace.
She squirmed in his grasp. Her slender legs thrashed about, heightening her sense of vulnerability. Caden slipped his hand beneath her clothing, exploring her curves with a careful yet eager touch.

Alicia gasped in surprise, clutching his muscular arm.
“Caden, you…”
Everything was a chaotic mess once more.
It all ended up in disarray.
Caden was infuriating. He shouldn’t be doing this with her.
He silenced her with a kiss. His voice was rough as he said, “Don’t you want this?”
Alicia nearly melted under the intensity of his gaze.
“You’ve set your mind to it from the beginning. So why bother asking me to cook?”
He wanted her, but earlier, he had ridiculed her for buying condoms.
He had acted superior back then, but now he craved more.
Dream on!
Caden responded, “I never meant for your body to be part of our arrangement. Asking you to cook for me is the reward I seek. What’s happening now is simply the natural attraction between a man and a woman.”
Alicia was caught off guard.
She hadn’t expected him to say something like that. In the business world, he was always assertive and ruthless. He wasn’t the type to consider feelings.
They had been at odds for so long, each eager to one-up the other, yet here he was, expressing himself. It was she who had underestimated everything.
She murmured, “I didn’t see it that way at first.”
If it had been anyone else pressuring her, she wouldn’t have agreed to go upstairs.
But this was Caden.
She considered the pros and cons. Putting the transaction aside, she had to admit that she felt a bit drawn to his body.
When it came to having sex, wasn’t it ultimately about enjoyment?
Caden stood by his promise.
He had said he wouldn’t pressure her, and his behavior was noticeably more restrained.
He patiently waited for her to give her consent.
In broad daylight, without the influence of alcohol or drugs, she felt unable to act freely. Too many worries held her back. As Caden skillfully unbuttoned her blouse, she hesitated for a moment.
Alicia suddenly remembered and covered her almost exposed skin. “Last time, you said that if this happened a third time, what would you do?”
Caden glanced up.
His eyes were slightly red.
“If there’s a third time, then there will be many more after that, and it will be up to me,” he said.
Alicia’s heart raced, and her waist felt weak.
She inquired, “Why me? Aren’t there plenty of beautiful women interested in you?”
Caden swallowed hard, moistening his dry throat.
Despite his longing, he couldn’t reveal the truth.
He wouldn’t admit that his body only reacted to her.
If she found out, she would take advantage of him.
“Because we’re more compatible,” Caden reasoned.
Alicia found herself at a loss for words.
Before she could respond, Caden pressed his face against her neck.
When he spoke, his voice was more commanding than inviting. “Alicia, will it be a yes or a no for sex?”
His blunt words and husky voice were nearly impossible to resist.
Alicia held her lips tightly together, grappling with her feelings.
She couldn’t come to a decision.
She sensed an undeniable attraction towards him, but Caden’s previous words lingered in her mind, causing her to hesitate.
After this moment, he would have the final say in their interactions.
Was she truly allowing him to dictate the terms?
Caden could feel Alicia’s internal conflict as he licked his thin lip.
He had expected this to happen.
Knowing Alicia’s personality, he understood that once they entered a tug-of-war, she wouldn’t give in easily.
However, this challenge intrigued him.
Watching her cry beneath him was satisfying, but hearing her plead for more…
Caden abruptly stopped his thoughts, fearful of losing control.
Thus, he stopped teasing her.
But now that they had reached this point, it felt appropriate to take action.
Caden’s breath came in uneven bursts. “When do you plan to return to the Yates Mansion?”
“I suppose I’ll leave before dinner,” Alicia replied, her voice lacking warmth.
“There’s still plenty of time,” he stated.
Alicia found herself confused by his implication.
Before she could process her thoughts further, Caden raised his hand and pressed his index and middle fingers against her lips.
“Kiss them,” he instructed.
Alicia’s mind was racing. “You want me to kiss your fingers?”
“That’s right,” he whispered.
