Alice stared at him. “What if I told you that's exactly what I want? What would you do about it?”

Caden's stern expression softened at her challenge, and he joked, “If you're not in a hurry, we can wait until we get home. But if you are, I can get you a room at a hotel nearby.”

Alice was speechless. Unable to contain herself, she silently cursed him. He only thinks about sex!

Caden, purposely misinterpreting her reaction, smirked. “You can't wait, can you? Should I ask Hank to pull over? “I’ve never experienced that in a car.”

Alicia's cheeks flushed and she leaned over to cover her mouth. She was aware of his uninhibited nature in private, but his brazen boldness in front of Hank was shocking. He might be indifferent to his own reputation, but she sure cared about his!

Taking advantage of the moment, Caden pulled her closer. She tried to break free.

“Don't move,” he said, holding her effortlessly. She closed her eyes. “Let me rest for a while.”

He rested his chin on her head and exhaled slowly. “I’m a little sleepy.” His voice was deep and husky, betraying his exhaustion.

Alicia's resolve melted and she stopped struggling. She shifted to become a more comfortable support for him to read on.

Caden laughed.

Confused, she buried her face in his chest, her eyelashes fluttering against his neck. “Why are you laughing?”

The sensation of his eyelashes tickling hers warmed her heart. She hugged him tighter. “I laugh at your nonsense. I'm just tired, not helpless. What did you expect? Did you want me to lie completely on top of you? Considering your size, are you sure you can handle it?”

Alice hesitated before saying, “I just…”
