Chapter 1107:
Caden held Alicia’s gaze effortlessly, his eyes never straying from her face. “I really have nothing planned tonight,” he said.
Caden’s features were impeccable, each movement exuding a captivating steadiness that was attractive yet not frivolous. Alicia admired this about him. She licked her lips and suggested, “Let’s take a shower. It’s dark already.”
Caden chuckled quietly to himself but maintained a straight face as he wrapped an arm around her waist, guiding her to the bathroom. Today, when he mentioned a shower, he meant it quite literally.
Caden turned on the shower as soon as they entered. “Do you want to soak for a bit or just shower?” he asked.noveldrama
Alicia was dumbfounded. Internally, she screamed that she hadn’t wanted a shower at all! Before, as they entered the bathroom, he had kissed her thoroughly. Why the sudden restraint now?
Alicia couldn’t understand his motives. His response to their earlier kissing had been intense, yet now he seemed disinterested. Could it be that he was having difficulties performing?
With this thought, Alicia glanced subtly at his crotch.

Just then, Caden stood straight, catching her covert look. “What’s up?” he inquired.
Alicia averted her eyes, too embarrassed to speak. “Nothing. Let’s start with a shower.”
Caden nodded earnestly, quickly stripping off his clothes.
As Alicia slowly unbuttoned her shirt, she said, “By the way, have you been taking those supplements diligently? How’s that going?” Though she knew what she wanted to ask, Caden answered in a different way, “Not bad. I can walk faster than I drive now.”
Alicia was speechless. Not wanting to delay further and feeling more embarrassed by the minute, she gathered her courage and said, “Caden, I want to do it tonight.”
Caden suppressed a grin. “Do what?” He played dumb.
Alicia gave him a meaningful look. “You know what.”
“Exactly?”
Alicia said nothing, internally fuming that he was such a bastard.
Alicia was exasperated. “Just tell me if you’re going to do it or not.”
Caden couldn’t help but chuckle. “I’ve been neglecting you, I know. But remember, I’m not in the best shape. I haven’t finished the three courses of medicine you recommended. The doctor you introduced suggested I shouldn’t overexert myself, so I’ve even skipped the gym lately.”
Alicia’s lips twitched as she eyed his well-defined chest and ripped abs. And he claimed he hadn’t been to the gym? She suspected he was teasing her deliberately, but since she had recommended the supplements, she felt she couldn’t complain. With an air of frustration, she removed her pants. “Forget it. I’ll just take care of myself after the shower.”
Caden nearly laughed out loud. He teased, “Let me help. My fingers are longer than yours.”
