The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 149

Chapter 149:

She leaned forward instinctively, her lips shining softly in the dim light, a subtle shine that made them even more appetizing. To Caden, they were much more tempting than the food in front of him.

His gaze lingered on them for a moment.

Alicia realized.

His expression hardened, although he tried to hide it. Silently, he placed the half-eaten chicken wing on his plate.

Caden blinked, momentarily speechless. He could do it, he could show more care, especially since she was still recovering from their previous intimacy. “I'm not interested in your chicken wing,” he said, his voice low. I'm interested in your lips.

Alicia was speechless.

His suggestion did not go unnoticed.

She fought the urge to roll her eyes, complaining. silently to herself. They hadn't kissed enough before

Why was he still so obsessed with her

What was the problem with her lips

With a quick, deliberate movement, he He snatched the chicken wing she had just handed over.

Caden raised his eyebrows, once again taken aback by her unapologetic behavior.

But instead of mocking her further, he returned to direct the conversation. I'm taking you to a banquet at the end of this month. Start preparing now.

Alicia was curious. What's the reason?

To make you feel better.

His eyes lit up, intrigued. And how do you plan to do it When is the banquet

Caden opened his mouth as if to respond, then reconsidered, his words retreating as quickly as they had emerged. I'll let you know when the time comes. Just know that it will be before the end of the month.

Alicia's lips curved downwards, disappointed.

That's still a long way off!

He He shrugged, a mocking glint in his eyes. If you can't wait, count the days thinking about me.

Her heart skipped a beat at his audacity.

You're a shameless flirt, you knew it. He paused and asked with a smile: When I go with you, I will be your companion.

You overthink things.

Good, she murmured, her shoulders relieved. I have no desire to make our relationship public.

A subtle smile played on Caden's lips as they both returned to their food, finishing every last bite in a comfortable silence.

Alicia looked at Caden's spotless plate and wiped the corner of her mouth. So, you like the food at this place. His voice was casual, but he couldn't help but notice how much he had eaten. He looked like he had quite an appetite.

Caden's expression remained indifferent as he replied: Sure.

It wasn't that he had fallen in love with the food, it was just his first time ordering there. However, somehow, he had ended it without realizing it.

The moment floated between them, and Alicia knew that the kiss was inevitable. There was no point in running away, so she took the initiative to stand on tiptoe.

As always, when she took the first step, Caden scrutinized her, as if trying to gauge her intentions. When he didn't do anything, Alicia took it upon herself to close the distance, gently pressing her lips against his, resting her body on his.

She was determined to set the pace this time and, to his surprise , her technique had improved.

It didn't take long for her to notice that he was responding, that his pulse was quickening under her fingers.

But soon, the tension was too much and she pushed him towards her. back, catching his breath. That's enough

Caden wasn't finished. Wrapping his arm firmly around her waist, he pulled her into his space. His voice was low, the faint purr of barely concealed desire. The silliest but most effective way to improve your kissing is to trace letters with your tongue in someone's mouth.

Alicia had heard of that method before, but she had always found it too embarrassing to try.

He licked his lips nervously, choosing silence rather than admit anything.

Caden smiled at her hesitation, leaning in until his breath brushed her ear. You want me to teach you, he whispered in an amused voice.

She squirmed slightly under his intense gaze. What there is to learn

He looked up to meet her dark, intense eyes. You could apologize properly.

He raised an eyebrow. You really need an apology. What I said before wasn't enough.

Alicia knew that his roundabout way of making her feel better was a kind of apology, but her pride demanded more, a special concession just for her.< /p>

Yes, he murmured, his voice softer, almost vulnerable. I need it.

His uncertainty only added to the charm, and Caden's eyes darkened with something deeper.

Those words, he said, his voice now edged with heat, “ "It's better to save them for the bedroom."

Alicia's cheeks flushed instantly, but before she could react, Caden pulled her into his arms, capturing her lips once again in a kiss that was like any other. something less smooth. It was like a spell, a kiss that became more intoxicating with each passing second, making his head spin.

I didn't want him to stop.

I wanted more.

Her mind went blank as her body melted against his, his touch awakening a burning desire within her.

But Caden still wasn't satisfied. His fingers slid lower, grazing her waist until he heard the sound he was looking for. Alicia continued dodging.

Without realizing it, her body was rubbing against his, fueling the tension between them and fueling her desire even more.

She clenched her jaw, holding back as much as she could. , but when the need overwhelmed him, he picked her up without a second thought, carrying her towards the living room.

Only then did Alice come to her senses, her eyes wide with horror.

No, he gasped, his voice breaking. We already did it today.

Caden stopped dead, his words cutting through the haze.

He knew he could persuade her if he wanted, but her rules were set in stone and he had to respect them. , no matter how tempting it was to skip them.

Patience, he reminded himself. The best prey is always worth waiting for.

With a frustrated sigh, he gave her hip a firm squeeze before setting her down.

Her legs gave out, betraying her. .

He wanted to slip away, escape the attraction between them. But Caden wasn't ready to let her go just yet. His muscles tensed and he moved closer to her again, craving another kiss. Alicia quickly turned her head, denying him.

When you help me feel better, she began to say, with a playful gleam in her eyes, “then you can kiss me.”

Her eyes widened. They narrowed their eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of their lips. Do you really think I can wait that long?

If I can, then so can you, she challenged, her voice firm despite the heat between them.

Their bodies pressed together, the The air was thick with desire.

Alicia's throat was dry and her pulse was racing, but she stood firm and refused to give in.

She had him in her hands and they both knew it.

Caden couldn't resist, not when she played like that.

His chest tightened with an unknown sensation, one he couldn't name.

With a slow exhale, he released it, cooling himself. Tomorrow will be a new day, he warned. Then you will have no choice.

Alicia, however, stood firm. I always have a choice. My lips, my rules. If I don't want to, I won't give you a kiss.

Caden's gaze fell on her swollen lips, and a low chuckle escaped him. It was impossible to resist her.

Later that night, Alicia made plans to stay with Monica, and Caden casually offered to take her.

But Alicia shook her head. Monica knows your car. If you take me back this late, it will be suspicious.

Caden paused, a strange feeling coming over him.

For a brief moment, he almost felt like an adulterer.

Just as Alicia was about to suggest taking a taxi, Caden shrugged and said, We'll take another car. Pick one from the garage.
