Chapter 17 - Fiesty Kitten

Noah then glares at Tony. Ivy stared at her and Noah's joined hands. Tony had left and got in his car as Noah's car arrives. As usual Thomas and Aiden are in the front seat, she was relieved to see them. Noah pushed her in the back passenger seat and then enters himself.

The atmosphere in the car is heavy and no-one utters a word. Not wanting to go to Noah's apartment Ivy shouts out Jamie's address to Thomas.

"Boss?".

There's no reply from the moody man beside Ivy. She sighed and thought that she couldn't let this continue.

"What's wrong with you, why are you so moody? It should be me that's mad not you".

Noah gave Ivy a sharp look and pulls her onto his lap. She noticed the partition go up that separated the front and back seats. Great, he has no witnesses when he kills me she thought.

Ivy shoved him so she could try to slip out of his grasp, but his grip is firm.

She was surprised he broke the silence first.

"What are you displeased with?"

"Apart from you manhandling me what else?".

"You left again, you will stay with me from now on".

"Of course I left that's what happens".

"Is it".

"Yes, you should now".

"Why would I?"

Ivy got annoyed at him for questioning her when he was the playboy.

"Hey don't try and play me I saw that private room and heard those girls, I'm not that innocent I know what happens. I also saw Cole, he likes those gatherings with pretty girls".

"I'm not the same as him. I'm not interested".

"Oh yea, just sitting there to look at the wallpaper and drink the wine then?".

She noticed that Noah wasn't angry anymore and he smiled at her.

"Jealous?..... I was there for business. When I saw you I wanted to go home with you. What about you... who was that man tonight?".

"Jealous?...Business same as you but we work together".

"Stay with me".

Noah holds her face bringing it up to his. Noah's lips were so close but not touching.

"Take me home".

He smiles wickedly and kisses her it's a fierce and demanding kiss. Pulling her closer to his body. His masculine scent hit her.

Knock Knock 

Thomas or Aiden knocked on the partition that separated them. We must be at Noah's place she thought. The doors unlock and Ivy gets out to run for freedom. But we are in the underground basement carpark, so where can she run?

Noah grabs her hand again and she ended up following him like the other night, into the lift and up to his apartment. She goes up with him not because she is being submissive but because she also believed he was different and had treated her like she was special. He had no scandals and didn't have random women around him. She also had enjoyed the other night when they had surrendered to their desire. It was unlike her but he gave her the confidence and the freedom to do as she liked.

Once inside Ivy hung her coat up beside his, she then remembered that she had taken his coat and it made her smile. She would be his equal if she was going to do this she thought.

Taking off her shoes Ivy stood and he grabbed her by the hips pulling her towards him. His kisses are strong and demanding. He seems to be a bit impatient tonight and maybe a bit jealous. But so was she, he was with those women earlier.

Ivy becomes a bit fierce returning his kiss and nipped his lip a bit. He breaks the kiss and smiles at her. It made her heart stop and it caught her breath.

"Feisty tonight kitten."

Before Ivy could rebuke that statement or correct his nickname, he lifts Ivy as they kiss and fall into his bed again.

Hours later feeling spent and tender, Ivy turned to the man beside her. He was asleep so Ivy goes to get up.

"If you have the energy to run, you have the energy for some more rounds".

"No...no... not going anywhere just getting comfortable".

"mmm".

Noah grabbed her again pulling her into his warm embrace again and she closed her eyes.
