Chapter 6:
? ? ? ? ?
Alice's face, pale from the cold, flushed crimson. The humiliation of letting her nemesis see her in such a sorry state stung more than the biting cold rain. She leaned against the car door, trying to put as much distance between them as possible.
Caden's eyes lingered on her legs.
“You have great legs,” he commented nonchalantly. “Joshua seems to like them. And I’m sure a lot of other men do too.”
He bowed his head, fingers drumming quietly on the armrest, the rhythm as maddening as his words.
"In fact, I'd wager that quite a few would find them... irresistible."
A lump formed in Alice's throat and a shiver ran down her spine.
It was pitch black outside, and with the pouring rain, common sense dictated that it was not safe for a woman to be outside alone. However, the way Caden said it made it seem like what was a mere statistical possibility was now a foregone conclusion. What a disgusting jerk!
She hesitated, but her options were limited. With a reluctant sigh, Alicia buckled her seatbelt, pressing herself against the door as if it could somehow protect her from the man sitting next to her.
The soaked dress clung to her like a second layer of skin, the discomfort eating away at her. She couldn't help but hunch her shoulders, shivering in the cold. Without a word, Caden tossed the coat onto her lap. The weight of the coat surprised her, but she quickly wrapped herself in it, grateful for the warmth.
The coat gave off Caden's unique musk, a mix of cologne and something raw, masculine. It clung to the fabric, penetrating her senses and dragging her back to that fateful night…
The familiar voice.
The familiar smell.
Alice's heart sank into the pit of her stomach as she realized. Could it really be him?
Oh, God… It couldn't be!
The ridiculousness of the idea made her shudder again, but she couldn't shake her suspicion. She turned her head stiffly to study him, hoping to find some answer on his face.
Caden, oblivious to her confusion, didn't even look up from his phone.
"Stop looking at me. I'm not interested."
Idiot!
Alice ignored the blow and cleared her throat.
"So, Caden, when did you get back?"
Only then did he look up from his phone.
He looked at her with distant amusement, as if admiring a pretty bird in a cage.
