Chapter 257: Dream

"Mmm," Ivy moaned lightly as Joshua nibbled on her lips gently while he held her tight in his embrace. He did not allow her to push him away as he kissed her like his life depended on it. When he could not tolerate it anymore, he bit her lips hard making Ivy gasp in pain. This was enough for his tongue to dive into her hot mouth and explore it. It tasted sweeter than honey and Joshua was slowly getting addicted to it like drugs. His kiss had blocked Ivy's thinking capacity. She had even become a putty in his arms as he continued his sweet assault on her. Their legs were entangled together and Joshua was absolutely loving the position they were in. They were stuck to each other like magnets.

His kiss then went down on her collar bone as he sucked fiercely on it eliciting another moan from her. It made Joshua desire her all the more and he attacked her with a monstrous ferocity. After sucking hard on her skin until he had marked her, he proceeded further below to her waist and lifted her shirt until her breasts. His hands roamed freely around her body enjoying the delectable flesh while his eyes feasted on her beautiful curves. The flesh around her thin waist was too enticing to control himself anymore and he ended up biting it.

However, it tasted completely different than he had expected. It was not soft and did not smell like Ivy at all. Instead, it scratched his face a little as he buried his head in it and smelt like detergent and when he took a bite, it tasted like some cheap cloth. Confused, the sleeping Joshua opened his eyes to see that he was canoodling his pillow, thinking it to be Ivy. Joshua realized that all he had was just a wet dream. It was not real.

He scratched his head in confusion when he remembered how he had gone to sleep without a care in the world. He did not have anything to worry as the needle was slowly inclining towards his end. All he had to do was push her buttons more and she would come running into his arms. He could read her thoughts like a genius mind reader. He had planned the different ways of torturing Ivy for the next twenty-four hours and everything was under his control. His prize was just a room-length away. All he had to do was wait patiently with a sweet smile.

He had no idea how he had got such a perverted yet realistic dream. The worst part was he had a hard-on due to this wet dream and he groaned in despair thinking about it. This was truly a torture for him, not for Ivy. He got off his bed and went to the bathroom to relieve himself, thinking about Ivy the entire time.

Meanwhile, in Ivy's room.

The whole night, Ivy could not sleep properly as Joshua's indignant behavior kept bugging her mind. Many a time she wanted to go and reprimand him regarding the same. But then she would remember the bet and cool down thinking it was just a matter a few hours. Her mind was not at peace and every few seconds it wandered into a faraway land thinking about Joshua.

The next day, Ivy got up as early as possible and went down to eat her breakfast. She did not forget to take a look at Joshua's room which was tightly shut. She did not know if he was downstairs or was still sleeping. When she went down, the breakfast was already placed on the dining table and the maid had left after cleaning the kitchen. 

Ivy waited a long time for Joshua to come down. But there was no news about him. She even decided to go and call him personally, but later decided against it when she remembered his behavior the previous night. She started eating, every now and then taking a glance at the staircase. But the man in question was nowhere to be seen.

She finished her breakfast in a somber mood. Though the food tasted delicious, her tasted bud had committed suicide along with her appetite. So, she could feel nothing. Everything she ate was bland. Yet she forced it down her throat as she and her friends had to attend a meeting with Noah and did not know how long it would last.

It was time for her to leave as Max had called her to meet him at his house before they left together to meet their new Boss. She took one last glance towards Joshua's room before she left the house with a dejected expression. When she went to the garage to take her bike, she noticed one of the parking spots empty and deduced Joshua to have left early in the morning. This increased her gloominess significantly. She was unhappy that he had left without even informing her.

Sighing lightly, she started her bike and drove towards Max's house. In her worry, she did not notice somebody's keen gaze on her from behind.

Joshua watched her leave his house with a crestfallen expression on her face and his lips arced up slowly. He had been avoiding her intentionally to gain her attention and he could see it was working. Ivy was slowly losing the bet as well as her determination to stay strong. Though he did not wish to see her dejected, this was just momentary. After he won the bet, he would never allow her to be sad. 

The previous night, he too had tossed around in his bed thinking about his woman the entire night after the wet dream and the torment he had been through. He even wanted to accept defeat so that he could hear her voice again, touch her again, and most important of all kiss her again. Then, an idea had struck him. If he won this bet, he could use it to his advantage in the future when the truth about her father came before Ivy. He could probably and hopefully use it to persuade Ivy to forgive him. Though it was just his hope, he held onto it strongly. At least he would have something that could help him. But everything depended on Ivy.

This hope had made him more determined to win the bet and he had carefully prepared a trap for Ivy to fall into herself. He had known her schedule for the day. Since she was going to meet Noah with her colleagues, he too decided to meet him. He also had to give him the diary and discuss some matters with him. "Ivy, don't worry baby. I am coming for you."

Meanwhile, Ivy did not know a thing about his plan and was riding her bike towards Max's house with Kaito stealthily following her.
