Alice felt a smile, although a forced one, creep across her face. “You seem to have had a lot of practice at this, Mr. Ward.”

She mused that Caden's thrill-seeking felt deliberate and methodical. He'd probably had his share of women in the past. The thought sent a pang through Alicia's chest, but she quickly reminded herself not to think about it.

They're just two adults looking for pleasure. There's no need to complicate things any further, Alice assured herself.

As Alicia tried to get out of the car, she realized that Caden's grip hadn't eased in the slightest. His body felt disconnected, his gaze hollow and unreadable. “So, shall we continue?”

Caden's expression remained neutral, but his fingers remained on her skin, showing no sign of wanting to end this.

Alicia Caden pushed her hand away. “Joshua will be here any minute.”

A crooked smile curved Caden's lips. “Wouldn’t it be more interesting if he came in with us?”

Alice found herself unable to respond. How disgusting.

At that moment, Alice noticed fresh blood staining the bandage on her shoulder. After a brief pause, she removed the bandage and picked up the trousers she had carelessly tossed aside. She chose a clean piece of cloth to wipe the blood off.

Caden frowned. “What the hell are you doing?”

"You're bleeding again," Alice said, gently pressing the cloth against the wound.

Caden, always obsessed with cleanliness, scoffed with a humorless chuckle. “And you're wearing the pants you just put on? “Why not your underwear while you’re at it?”

As she spoke she caught a piece of pink and white cloth on her finger and waved it before her. Alice, taken unawares, quickly handed it back to her.
