Ivy once again woke up alone, they had an endless round of satisfying lovemaking after she had worked out with Thomas she was exhausted and must have passed out at some stage. She opened her eyes and scanned around the room, she was in Noah's office bedroom, she stretched and smiled as she rolled over inside her duvet burrito. She wished for endless happy days like this to come.

Ivy remembered she still had time today to learn how to shoot. She no longer wanted to hold Noah back, although she had Thomas and Teo around she wanted to add to the team and not be a hindrance. Ivy stretched and bounced up, as she did she looked down and noticed she was washed and wearing one of Noah's black shirts.

​​

Ivy walked to the walk-in closet that was attached to Noah's office, he had a new set of this season's outfits added, it had started to get colder so he had added the newest fall outfits. she smiled at his thoughtfulness. She would have to do something for him to show her appreciation for all he does. Ivy thought of shooting so she picked back skinny jeans, a t0shirt and a pair of black boots. Looking around the room she saw her bag and leather jacket, she picked both of them up and entered Noah's office, she could hear him talking to Aiden.

As soon as Ivy entered the room both Aiden and Noah stopped their conversation and Aiden smiled at her before taking his leave. It was only Noah and Ivy now in his office.

Noah was completely satisfied earlier and his lips curved into a small smile that he reserved just for Ivy. Noah got up and walked towards Ivy, he held her waist in his arms and asked, "Did you have a good rest?"

"Yes thanks, have you time to go grab something to eat?" Ivy asked already knowing his response.

"Sorry I have meetings from now until 10 PM, someone kept me busy this afternoon," Noah still smiled while he accused her wrongfully.

"Yea blame me, after all, it was me who came to your workout session and picked you up caveman style over my shoulder and had my way with you," Ivy replied sarcastically.

Noah gave a light laugh and replied," You can have your way with me whenever you want but I will do the caveman lift if you dont mind." Noah kissed her lips before letting go of her waist, " I have Thomas waiting to take you down to the gun range so you can have some fun." He then kissed her forehead.

"Okay, I am not that hungry anyway. How about late night sushi?" She asked. Ivy always liked to have dinner together each night and they now both looked forward to it, she also hated to be alone at night so Noah never had any meetings go on late into the night anymore. They would miss each other during the day but they always set up a time for one another in the evening.

It was always important to value one another and keep the relationship fun and fresh, they certainly didnt act like they had been in a long term relationship. Ivy still felt like it had only been a few months in comparison to how long they were actually together.

Noah held her hand and walked towards his office door together, "I will bring home the sushi."

Ivy smiled and reached up and kissed his chin, he was after all very tall and if he didnt bend over to kiss her she could only stand on her tiptoes and reach his chin. Noah laughed and opened the door, just outside Thomas and Aiden were waiting.

Ivy let go of Noah's hand and playfully bumped into Thomas, "Are you sore or are you okay after this morning?"

Thomas furrowed his eyebrows and decided to tease Ivy instead, "What about you, aren't you sore? This is the second time I have had to bulk order Extra Large condoms."

Noah had no shame but Ivy's cheeks instantly turned red and she turned to ignore his comment and made her way towards the lift, leaving the three gentlemen to follow behind her. Noah saw her pink flushed ears and smiled. But only he could tease her, so he turned to Thomas, "Teo will look after Ivy from tomorrow for the next few days, as for you… You can supervise the guard's overtime that were ogling Ivy today."

Thomas's mouth dropped he couldn't believe he would have to suffer along with the other guards, "Ivy im sorry, boss I didnt mean to tease Ivy. I take it back. I won't ever bring it up again no matter how many times I have to bulk order you're… your." Seeing Noah's warning glare Thomas gulped and replied, "Shutting up, dont punish me further."

The lift arrived and they all got in together. Noah played with Ivys hair and she batted away his shameless roaming hands but it didnt stop him, he loved her long silky black locks.

Noah got off the lift along with Aiden after a few seconds as their meeting room wasn't far from Noah's office. They said their goodbyes and then it was just Ivy and Thomas left in the lift. Ivy could feel Thomas's eyes on her so she sighed, "I will talk to Noah tonight and tell him to take the punishment back, after all how else can I kick your butt while learning self defense."

Thomas sighed in relief he would much rather get beaten by Ivy than lose precious sleeping hours, "Thank you, Ivy now let's go teach you how to shoot."

They went down again to the lower levels and walked into a gun range, it was all immaculate and everything was laid out to precision. Thomas spent time showing Ivy how to dismantle, clean and reassemble a handgun. For now, she would be training on a lighter handgun.
