"Huh?" Adeline was taken aback, confused, and puzzled. "Get closer to him. Why?"
Caesar laughed, dropping his head against her left shoulder. "To get what you want, of course!"

Caesar pulled his head up and palmed her cheek. "Become submissive."
"What?" Adeline was stunned, at a complete loss for words. Her expression darkened, and the soft gleam in her brown pearls disappeared, almost as if she could kill Caesar with a mere gaze.
Caesar quickly raised his hands defensively. "Hear me out, first." He cackled, humored.
"Do you know one thing some men seek a lot when it comes to women?" he asked.
Adeline shook her head. "No."
