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!
