Chapter 64 Surprise Kiss
Caden’s voice cut through the silence. “You think I have all the time in the world for?”
1 looked at the photo once more. It was unmistakably me and Jasper, snapped in the café.
[Caden didn’t take it, then who did
Then I remembered who might. Lilian.
Could she have been the one to send the photo to Caden?
But why would she do that?
Jasper had insisted that he deleted all the pictures,
This didn’t add up. Whoever had sent the photo had some other motive.
I had to figure this out.

Still silent, Caden’s icy voice broke through my thoughts. “How do you explain this?”
“Explain?” I felt the heat rise in me. My face hardened as I shot back, “I don’t owe you an explanation.”
The way Caden spoke made it seem like I had done something wrong.
“You went out with another man behind my back. You think you owe me no explanation?” Caden’s gaze sharpened. His anger was becoming clear.
Imet his cold eyes, my frustration bubbling up. “Caden, who do you think you are? You can’t control me.”
“I’m your fiancé, Caden snapped, his tone sharp.
I was stunned. It was just a contract, nothing more. But he seemed to have taken it way too seriously.
Was he really this invested?
I raised an eyebrow, trying to keep my composure. “Did you forget our agreement? That ‘fiancé title is just
for show.”
Without warning, Caden grabbed my wrist, his fingers tightening. “Who said it’s just for show?”
The sharp pain in my wrist made me freeze, then I challenged, “Isn’t it?”
Before I could say anything else, Caden yanked me forward, pulling me into his chest
“Caden, what are you-”
My words were swallowed as his lips met mine.
The kiss was overwhelming, intense–like a wave crashing over me, leaving me breathless.
Caden’s POV:
I never thought of myself as impulsive. Even when Wendy flirted with me, I never gave in. I found it

But Rosaline she was different
What was it about her that made it so hard to resin
Finished
Could i really be mue, like Qurenice and my mother said, that Rosaline was just another woman who played with men’s emotions
Lelosed my eyes, deepening the kies.
Our agreement means nothing won! Since you art like this, I’ll show you my true color!
Rosaline pressed her palms against my chest in resistance, but her touch–warm and gentle–ignited something primal within me
The contact made my body respond with immediate intensity.
“This is what we want, Edward’s voice echoed through my consciousness with dark pleasure. “Let’s claim her.”
The sensation overwhelmed me.
Despite the absence of the Moon Goddess blessing, despite her not being my destined mate, I craved her as though she were.
My hands found their way beneath her shirt… The softness of her breasts sent electric pulses through my body.
I lowered my head to taste her.
Her nipples, pink and perfect like ripe berries, beckoned me.
A soft moan escaped her lips, and this time she didn’t resist.
Could she want this too?
I traced a path downward with my fingers, past the barrier of her bra, across the silk of her stomach, toward more intimate territory.
My touch found the first hints of softness below, and my pulse quickened.
The promise of unexplored depths lay just beyond.
What secrets would I discover there?
The thought consumed me as my hand ventured further.
“Stop right there, Caden!”
The crack of her palm against my face shattered the moment.
The force knocked me sideways, the sting immediate and sharp.
Reality crashed back like a splash of cold water.
I stepped back, watching her wrap her arms around herself, fury etched across her features.

Chapter 64 Surprise Kiss
The rejection stunned me.
What had I done wrong?
Hadn’t she welcomed my touch, my kisses?
Her body had sung a different tune than her actions now suggested.
Our first kiss had earned me her teeth.
Our second, this stinging slap.
Bitter irony.
She saved her smiles for Jasper and Ryan, while I received nothing but ice.
Was this some game, or pure
disdam?

Meeting her gaze, I said. “Tell me, do Jasper and R
Meeting her gaze, I said. “Tell me, do Jasper and Ryan kiss you better? Is that why you despise mine?”
Her face twisted with contempt, a cruel smile playing on her lips.
“You have some nerve, Caden. Yes, I like them both. What’s it to you? Besides, everyone knows you’re hung up on Tessa.”
