Chapter 161 - Understood

The next day was a normal working day for Ivy. It was Monday morning and Ivy had planned on going into the office and starting up her plan of attack for the progression of the company with her father now that Cole was officially gone.

She didn't want to think about what had happened to Cole, the guilt that it may be because of her made her put it to the back of her mind. She also didn't want to ask Noah what he had to do because of her, she didn't want to be the cause of more blood on his hands.

Noah was supposed to still be in another City conducting business leaving her free to go into work early and attack the day but Noah had come home early from his trip to swoop in and rescue her.

Even though she felt she had everything covered and she had wanted to test out all her new moves that she had learnt from Thomas. In the end, she didn't mind the assistance because what is a partnership about if you don't balance each other out. 

After leaving the club she didn't get any answers from Noah about Kai and if he was free and clear from all ties of the blood clan leader. Instead, Noah had told her not to speak of another man again or he would fill her mouth every time she did. His crazy jealous tone and the possessive gaze in his eyes made her stop from asking further.

She let it go, she reassured herself that Noah would always tie up any loose ends for her. In the car, he had caressed and kissed her everywhere much to her protests. She loved his affection and touch but Aiden was seated just in front of them in the driver's seat and she didn't want to moan in front of him and each caress and touch sent her mind into overdrive. 

Even when she had told Noah how she felt he only kissed her harder and with more passion and desire if that was possible. Her man was insatiable.

After a torturous few minutes in the car that felt like an eternity of holding back, they had got home and she was thrown unceremoniously over his shoulder again and carried to the lift. She was used to this and no longer batted an eye as Aiden escorted them to their penthouse. 

She was glad that Aiden didn't bat an eye either. They all said good night as they reached the penthouse door and once inside he pounced on her and they unleashed all the pent up passion and desires they had for one another. 

"I'm going to paint the back of your pretty little throat with my cum and you are going to swallow every drop of it, understood?" Noah growled at her.

Ivy was taken aback for a moment then she nodded in response and dropped to her knees.

They had started in the living room, then the shower and then finally to their bed and although he had been energetic last night he for some reason had let her go after only three sessions of intense lovemaking.

"Don't move," Noah said in a growl. "Let me look at you." He left no room for her to disagree and she lay there naked in front of her lover.

Noah's instruction was more of a request than a command, and she swallowed, barely able to handle the heat his presence ignited inside of her. He radiated power and darkness, and her body responded- craved the power, hungered for the heat, yearned for his darkness. She burned to touch him, but he held his gaze for a breath before he started to slowly check her body for any bruises or marks.

She then realised he was worried that she may have sustained some sort of injury so she announced, "I am okay, as usual, my king of darkness arrived on time to save me."

He glared at her so she rolled her eyes and held him close as she climbed onto his lap, "I promise I won't do that again okay so dont look at me like that."

"Promise." He stated, glaring at her. Noah didn't mind saving her, he would do anything for her what he did not want was something to happen to her and if he didn't get to her in time. He didn't want to think about that. The thought of seeing her in the hospital again was enough to make his stomach flip with anxiety. She had become his everything.

"I promise or I will be your slave for a week." After she said that he grinned at her mischievously. She knew she had to keep this promise this time. For one he would really make her pay if she didn't and also she didn't want to make him worry about her. They were a partnership and that meant listening to each other.

"I wouldn't mind you as my slave, you would never leave the bedroom," Noah smirked before he continued. "But I would prefer you to keep yourself out of danger and away from the underworld. It's not for you.`` Noah stated.

Ivy nodded and curled up onto his receiving his warmth, they were back. Time isn't what causes you to open up in a relationship, connection does that. You can know someone for years and never become vulnerable with one another, but their relationship has grown a lot over time. It's all about that soul to soul connection. They fell asleep just like that cocooned in each other's loving embrace.

She woke up tightly cocooned inside of his strong and toned arms, it was her favourite place. She felt loved, accepted, safe and content. She didn't want to leave his arms, she didn't open her eyes as she pretended to still be sleeping so that she could enjoy his loving embrace.. But she heard a low chuckle and knew that he was aware that she was awake.
