Chapter 120:

? ? ? ? ?

Just as Alice was about to put the grapefruit in her mouth, Caden leaned down and snatched it away with his mouth.

Their lips brushed for a brief moment before quickly separating from each other.

Alice froze.

She stared at Caden's stunning face, just inches from her own.

The unexpected closeness made her heart pound. She felt completely nervous.

Caden hovered over her, chewing the fruit slowly. His eyes locked with hers, his expression unreadable.

Alice's heartbeat was quickening with every passing moment. Their chests were almost touching, and she feared he could sense her growing restlessness. Carefully, she reached out, trying to put some space between them.

Caden's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed the grapefruit.

The fresh citrus scent floated between them, filling the small space between their faces.

“There are two pieces left. “Will you feed them to me, or should I steal another kiss from you?” Caden asked.

Alice felt the tension rising inside her. Trying not to lose control, she quickly replied, “I’ll feed you.”

Caden smiled. “With your mouth?” I have joked.

"No! “With my hand!” answered Alice aloud.

Caden stepped back, finally giving her some space. Alicia took a moment to compose herself. She grabbed the last two pieces of fruit and walked over to feed her.

He fed her without delay, making sure there was no unnecessary contact. The interaction was simple and quick.
