The sun drifted through the floor to ceiling windows of Noah's apartment, it was midday and Ivy rolled over onto Noah's side feeling the warm body beside her she realised Noah was still there. His warm strong arm gripped her tighter into his embrace, he was still sleeping and had subconsciously embraced her. Knowing that Ivy felt his care and affection. She lay in his arms and thought about last night.

Last night had reminded her of her past. Although she had not loved Cole, when she thought about what happened last night she remembered those two being dirty and underhanded it made her feel unsettled. She felt like they had done her a huge favour otherwise she may have still lived life for others, suiting her dad and being subservient.

​​

Noah had let her be free and herself with no ulterior motives or complaints. The man took care of her and gave her the love she needed without her having to even ask, he did things for her but let her stay independent. Noah started to stir and Ivy stroked his chiselled jaw, he really was sculpted by the gods. Noah gripped her tighter and one side of his thin lips curved upwards.

"Morning."

"Hey." Ivy felt a little sheepish, even though they spent many nights together they had very little mornings together. She worried about her hair and morning breath, so she scurried under the blanket and hid.

"Where are you going?" Noah chuckled at seeing her head disappear. He pulled the blankets off her in one swift movement.

"Stop I have morning breath and crazy hair." Ivy ran to the bathroom and Noah smiled a rare smile that belonged to Ivy. If every morning was like this he would be a very content man.

Noah leaned against the headboard, his naked toned chest on full display and his hair slightly tussled. When Ivy came out of the shower this is the sight she saw, she bit her lip and felt like maybe she should go have a cold shower.

It was the same for Noah, Ivy entered the bedroom wearing a black silk robe and her wet hair hung to one side as she was towel drying it. There was sexual tension in the air. Noah went to her and took her towel from her throwing it to the ground. He held her face and lifted it to his. He kissed her soft lips, tongues intermingled and he could smell her coconut body wash it only spurred his desire to have her. He held her close, her warm soft body against his sculpted abs.

"Ughh." Noah parted his lips from hers and he sighed, his phone vibrated as a text came in from Aiden. "I have a meet at eight, or I would love to continue this." He looked into Ivy's emerald green eyes.

"Me too, I have some business to handle too."

Noah raised his eyebrow, Ivy never got up this early or mentioned business. He was curious but wanted to wait until she was ready to tell him. Noah then walked into the bathroom to shower, leaving Ivy to get ready. Ivy added some light makeup, winged eyeliner and red lipstick. She looked through all the clothes that Noah had got her. There was a section she had never gone into before. It contained expensive and tailored outfits. Today she had to look fierce.

She picked out a black silk blouse and a black pencil skirt that went to her knee. it fitted her perfectly. She wore her red Kate Louboutin's and took out a black leather Chanel bag. Happy with her look she walked out to the living room and walked straight to the front door.

Ivy opened the door and saw Aiden. She looked around and didn't see Thomas, her eyebrows shot up in confusion.

"Good morning Ivy... If you are looking for Thomas he probably would be still sleeping. Your usual wake up time is a few hours from now." Aiden coughed, he was trying to hide his amusement as Ivy's face scrunched up.

Ivy ignored Aiden's comment, grabbing her handbag she took the lift down to Thomas's apartment, she walked to his door and knocked. After a minute Thomas came to the door in his pyjamas.

"Cute pyjamas." Ivy laughed at his blue checked fleece pyjamas, they were not what she had expected from Thomas.

"Is there an emergency?" Thomas ran his fingers through his messy hair and looked increasingly concerned.

"Get ready, we are going to work today." Ivy smiled at Thomas, she would have some fun today.

"Work?" Thomas was taken aback, as far as he knew Ivy enjoyed investing in restaurants and houses. He had never seen her actually work.

"Yes." Ivy walked past him and went into his living room.

Zeus got up from his bed and bounded over to greet Ivy. Ivy sat down on Thomas's sofa and rubbed his head. She talked to him and petted him, missing her big puppy. Thomas walked past them and hurried to get ready. Ivy seemed like she was on a mission today and he didn't want to slow her down.

Ivy played with Zeus for a while then went to Thomas's kitchen. She made the four of them to go cups of coffee. Just then Thomas entered the Livingroom, seeing the to-go cups, he quickly grabbed his phone and jacket.

They left together going down in the lift with the coffees. They met Aiden and Noah as they were about to get into Noah's black Lincoln Navigator. Noah halted seeing Ivy swaying her hips towards him with a cheerful smile on her face, she was stunning.

"F*ck me." He smirked at her as she got closer to him. She reached up and fixed his tie and kissed his lips lightly teasing him. He smirked and raised an eyebrow at her unexpected affection.

"Have a good day at work, I'll see you at home later." Ivy then smiled and handed the smirking Noah his coffee. He looked like he could devour her hole. This gave her the confidence she needed for today's hard day ahead. Some heads were surely going to roll.

Ivy then got in Noah's Bugatti Veyron with Thomas in the driving seat and Aiden and Noah also got in their car. Both cars left the underground parking garage together but went there separate ways for a long days work ahead.
