Music recommendation - Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovato

While Aria was thoroughly interrogating Noah, Ivy had reached Joshua's house. Since the time she had found out about Joshua's involvement in her father's matters, she had been increasingly sweet and nice to him. It was completely contradictory to what the man had imagined. He had assumed her to go into a rage just like Aria and throw a fit at him. However, to his surprise, she was treating him better than he had expected.

Though Ivy had moved back with her sister, they kept in contact with each other over the phone and had gone on dates whenever they were free. Sometimes, Joshua even wondered if it was all a dream and she was justing acting nice before him. He doubted all of it to be a pretense and someday, she would slap him in the face for the mistakes he had committed.

What he did not know was Ivy was not pretending before him. She was genuinely happy and satisfied that her man had taken care of her father when she could not. She had been angry at first when she had found out the truth. But when she had analyzed it calmly, she understood their motives. Though their path was wrong, their intentions were not. There was no use throwing a fit at him when she knew neither he nor she would leave each other.

Joshua had already apologized for his mistakes and that was all she needed. There was no time for her to prolong this matter as she had other matters to attend to. Even though she was not angry, she did not try to alleviate Aria's anger either. She did not want to interfere with things that were not related to her. Ivy understood her sister's stance and she was right. Aria had all the right to be angry and if Ivy had not been a journalist and had not seen those criminals and monsters with her own eyes, she too would have been in a state similar to Aria.

Ivy's rationality was not taken over by her anger and she could see things clearly. It was true that clearly the three men who were in the wrong and they had to be punished. But not right now, not when there were people who were behind her father. She had to first solve the issue and only then would she take care of her man.

Ivy did not barge onto Joshua's house like she used to do when she was staying with him. At that time, she stayed in this house too and it would have been perfectly fine. But now, although she was his girlfriend, she could not barge in like the house belonged to her. What if he had guests? It would only make things awkward and embarrassing.

She waited a few minutes after signing the bell before Joshua opened the door for her. He was wearing a loose fitted shirt and cargo pants and he stared at her before his lazy eyes lit up seeing her. He opened the door wide and welcomed her in. "Sweetheart, what are you doing here? Is everything alright?"

Though Joshua was happy seeing her here, he could not help but worry and assume things. She had told him that she would move back only when Aria and Noah got back together and seeing the current situation, it was something that would take a long time. His thoughts ran wild and he immediately imagined something to have gone wrong.

Ivy's heart jumped hearing his endearing words. Whenever he addressed her as sweetheart, she could feel her legs go jelly and her ovaries bursting. The man's sexy voice made her feel so good and satisfied. "Relax, everything is perfectly fine. It's just that Noah came to speak to Aria and I did not want to be an intruder. So, I left them alone and came here."

Her answer pleased Joshua greatly and the next instant, he pulled her into his arms. How long had it been since he last held her like this? It had been only a week, but to Joshua, it felt like ages and centuries. Since the time she had moved back, they had not touched each other and now that Ivy had delivered herself to him, he could not help but smile wickedly at her.

Ivy could guess what the wolfish man had in mind. But the question was would she allow him to get what he wanted? No way. Even if she was not as angry as Aria, she could still get her revenge from him. The man deserved it in this case, so why not?

"What are you trying to do?" Ivy raised her eyebrows, alarmed at his behavior. His overly enthusiastic hands were roaming all over her body, tickling Ivy in the process.

"What am I doing?" Joshua asked innocently, yet his hands did not stop their work. His hands slipped inside her shirt and he caressed her waist making Ivy stiffen. Nobody was in the house and he could do anything he wanted and anywhere he wanted. But he knew Ivy would not be that cooperative with him with his second thought. So, he led her to his room slowly as he kissed her lightly on her cheek.

As soon as the stepped inside, he pulled her closer and kissed her lips with a loud sound. Oh gosh!! How long had it been since he kissed her to his heart's content? Every time they met in the last week, it would just be a small peck and that's it. Nothing more. How could a man like Joshua who had finally found his love tolerate this and starve himself? Now that he had got the opportunity, he would grasp it tightly and devour the woman in his arms.

The kiss was passionate and long. His tongue was playing havoc in her mouth while hers was trying as hard as she could to match up with his pace. Joshua's hands were on her back and her hair, keeping her in her place while Ivy had her hands entangled behind his neck. The kiss was too good that nobody wanted to break it. However, the irritating thing called anoxia made them to stop their work and take deep breaths. A thin strand of saliva was connecting their lips as they panted heavily.

The man attacked her lips when he saw that she had calmed down. Joshua led her to his bed slowly as he pushed her lightly towards it, not breaking their kiss. He then eased her ponytail before he attacked her lips again. However, to his surprise, Ivy stopped him. He pulled back with a questioning gaze on his face when he noticed her excited look. "Let me."

That was all she said and the next second, she flipped him over and sat on top of him, startling him. His eyes widened in surprise and he looked at her with newfound excitement. He was thrilled now seeing her bold move and waited in anticipation to see what she would do next.

Ivy leaned down to kiss him on his lips and slowly those delectable lips traveled south as she undid his shirt button before she removed them and threw them away. She then stared at his sexy body, her eyes shining with admiration. The man under her had body which she had dreamt of. He was more handsome than anyone she had known and was very delighted that this delicious meat belonged to her. How lucky was she to get a man of this caliber and gentlemanly?

Joshua noticed her lustful gaze and smiled widely. He could see that his woman liked his body as much as he liked hers and what more did he need? He waited for her next step and the next instant he grunted when she attacked his neck. She bit it twice before he licked it to soothe his pain. She then peppered kisses all over his torso rendering the man in a blissful state. Joshua was flying high in the shy and it was all because of the woman who was on top of him.

Slowly, both his trousers and boxers were off his body and the man groaned when he felt her hands holding his already slightly erect body part. It felt so good to have her soft hands caress his manhood and the next instant, he started climbing high.

Seeing the man enjoying what she was doing, Ivy increased her pace only to be stopped by him suddenly. "Don't. Take it slow sweetheart. Let me enjoy it more."

Ivy could not help blush at his words and she bit her lower lip in embarrassment. But the man who saw her teeth biting her lips felt the temperature of his body rise and he could not help but kiss her as her hands continued to do their work. The man's lust and desire had reached new peeks, especially after he saw her seductive look when she had bit her lip and he was thoroughly relishing what Ivy was doing to him. Her lips and her hands were making him lose control and he was just short of reaching the tip of the mountain when Ivy stopped suddenly.

Ivy had felt the man to be close to his release and she had to stop before he reached his ecstasy. She was not going to give him what he wanted, not this time. This time, it was a punishment for him for all the lies he had told her. No punishment was as harsh as depriving a man of his release and she knew just what to do.

Joshua gave her one confused look only get an innocent stare in return. He was sweating slightly as he pleaded her with his eyes. But nothing happened. "Ivy, why did you stop?"

"Why do you think?" Ivy pulled back and stood before him with her hands folded. She stared at him with a devilish smirk and the man at once realized what she had done. She had taken her revenge this way. He was not angry at her, but did he feel so used?
