“I said you’re not going, so you’re not going,” Caden declared, his lips tightening, a flicker of anxiety and concern in his eyes.

“That’s my business, not yours!” I retorted, standing up from the couch, ready to head to my room.

The next moment, a strong pair of arms wrapped around my waist, lifting me off the ground. Caden held me effortlessly, carrying me sideways.

I struggled in vain, eventually wrapping my arms around his neck and frowning. “Caden, what are you doing?”

“That’s against the law!” I glared at him, but the irritation made my throat itch, prompting a cough.

Caden’s brow furrowed, and he gently laid me on the bed, tucking me in with utmost care.

“Be good, alright?” he soothed, his voice unusually gentle.

I was stunned. I hadn’t expected him to be this tender to coax me.

“Alright, fine. I won’t go. I’m tired,” I said with a lazy yawn, curling up on my side. “Goodnight, I’m going to sleep.

Watching his tall, commanding figure retreat, I sighed softly.

I mentally agreed. Caden’s concern could be touching at times, but I detested being controlled.
