Chapter 480:

When he emerged, he found Alicia standing in front of her dresser, applying lotion.

The familiar scent filled the air.

He dried himself off with a towel and spoke, “Alright, you need to stop tempting me.

You’ve been draining me a lot these past few days.”

Alicia snorted.

“So, you’ve finally reached your limit? Karma’s a bitch, and you deserve it.”

She padded over to the bed, climbed under the covers, and let out a yawn.

“But don’t worry.

If you’re out of commission, I’ll just find someone else to take over your duties.”

Caden jumped in beside her, pulling her into his arms.

Sleep quickly overtook him, and he couldn’t be bothered to respond to her teasing.

Caden finally eased up after all his teasing.

He looked over the kiss marks on her skin and her tired expression, smirking.

“Out of energy already? Was that enough for you?”

Alicia just rolled her eyes and buried her face in the pillow, too tired to respond.

Caden scooped her up and carried her to the bathroom.

As steam filled the room, Alicia muttered, “Aren’t you supposed to be rushing to work? I can handle it myself.Property © of .

Don’t be late.”

Caden shrugged.

“I’ll get there when I feel like it.”

Alicia blinked in surprise.

“Don’t you have something important to get to?”

“When did I ever say that?” he shot back, smirking.

“But you were acting like you were in a huge hurry earlier!” she said, her voice rising.

“You made me rush through everything, like you were going to be late!”

Caden burst out laughing at her description of their morning together.

“Alicia, you’re blunt,” he teased.

Her cheeks turned pink as she muttered, “Well, it’s your fault for tricking me.”

She cringed, wondering if she had made a fool of herself in the heat of the moment.

One look at Caden’s teasing gaze, and she knew she had.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became.

Suddenly, she kicked her legs, splashing water all over him.

“Since you’re not in a hurry, why not skip work entirely?”

Caden just smirked, shrugging off his freshly put-on shirt.

His muscles, still toned from their earlier fun, were almost unfairly on display, making her blush.

He gave her a dangerous look.

“Skip work for what? You?” As he lifted a leg to step into the tub, Alicia threw her hands up.

“You’re not allowed in here!”

But she couldn’t stop him.

Before long, the bathroom was filled with another round of intimacy.

When Alicia was completely worn out, Caden scooped her up and laid her on the bed.

Her stomach grumbled loudly in protest.

“I’m starving,” Alicia said weakly.

Caden smirked and pretended to misunderstand.

“Since when did you turn into such a glutton? Three times, and still not satisfied?”

Alicia clenched her teeth.

“I mean food.

I’m hungry.”

“Didn’t I satisfy you earlier?” Caden teased.

Alicia was fuming now.

Frustrated, she shot back, “You big pervert! Why don’t you just chop it off, make soup with one half and stir-fry the other? I could eat three big plates of pasta with that!”

Caden raised an eyebrow, clearly taking it as a compliment.

“So, you’re that impressed with my size, huh? Enough for two dishes?”

Alicia was left speechless.

She couldn’t handle it anymore.

She was ready to call the cops and get this guy locked up.

Ever since Corey’s Q Robots had taken off, Alicia had been spending more and more time at Blizzard Group’s headquarters.
