"We will be staying together, Dad," Aria exclaimed, her face bright with excitement. It seemed as though she had returned to her younger self when she would always tail behind her father whenever he returned home after his work. She would always cling to him and ask him questions about his work, although she would not understand a word he had spoken. Also, Oliver would only tell her some titbits and not what exactly he did the entire day. Aria was not even in her teens to understand his line of work. But she would still find it to be interesting even if she did not understand a thing. She would have the look of wonder and astonishment as she listened to him patiently and quietly.

Looking at the grown Aria, who was staring at him in excitement, he could not help but reminisce about the little girl and a gentle smile settled on his face. How he wished to go back to those days when he was still not tracking down crimes or performing sting operations. He would be with his lovely wife and having the time of his life with his adorable daughters. However, time was something that never waited for none. He could only hope to have a better future and enjoy the present rather than thinking about his past.

"What are you thinking about, Dad?" Aria asked curiously when she noticed his absent-minded gaze, as he stared at her without speaking a word. Even Noah was a little worried seeing him go into a stupor and he leaned closer to see if he was alright.

"Nothing. Just remembering the good old time. Let's talk about you. Will you be staying here from now on?" Oliver changed the topic, not wanting to impact the good mood his daughter was in.

"Yes, Dad," Aria replied instantly, forgetting about her father's weird behavior a few seconds ago.

"That is great to hear. What about Ivy?"

"She will be staying with Joshua," Aria said without thinking and when the realization hit her, she bit her tongue for her stupidity. The next second, she turned to stare at Noah. "You never told me." She accused him poking her finger at his chest.

"What did I not tell you?" Noah was taken aback when she shifted the topic out of nowhere and now he was under her scrutiny. He wondered what he had forgotten to tell her.

"You never told me about Ivy and Joshua and I would not have even realized if I had not spoken about them just now," Aria complained, her voice coming out as a whine. She glared at Noah as though she was throwing daggers at him. Oliver could only chuckle at the couple's adorable relationship. He did not want to be a hindrance in their good time. So, he winked at winked and took his leave from the kitchen leaving the two love birds alone.

"I never told you because it was not my news to talk about in the first place. Why are you blaming me?"

"Because you are the one at fault. Ivy must have forgotten due to the things that happened in the last few days. She must have been stressed and the thought must have skipped her mind. But you could have at least given me a heads up. I did not even get to taste them, let alone congratulate them."

"Aria, don't you think I was stressed? I was on the edge of losing my love forever. Do you think I would worry about you knowing or not knowing somebody else's relationship status?" Noah's question rendered Aria speechless for a second. However, the next moment she came back without another unbelievable reason that now rendered Noah dumbfounded.

"You should have still told me about it. I would have rejoiced for them even if I was angry at you. Why didn't you?"

"Would you have listened to me if I asked you to speak to me? You were not even willing to hear my voice or see my face. How do you expect me to inform you about your sister and her newfound love?"

"You should have at least tried. Maybe I would have listened to you." Aria continued with the banter although she knew that she was being unreasonable now. She knew it was not Noah's fault and she had to blame Ivy and Joshua for hiding things from her.

Noah took a deep breath. He was now getting a headache with all the bickering. He did not have any answer to Aria's questions now. Seeing him being silent, Aria opened her mouth again to chide only to be shushed by him when he attacked her lips with his. It was the only way to end the unbelievable conversation they were even having in the first place.

Aria was too shocked on being interrupted that she did not even realize what was happening. She only came back to her sense when she felt a stinging sensation on her lips when Noah had bit her lips as a punishment for being unresponsive.

Noah pulled her closer seeing her not rejecting him and angled her head so that he could get better access. He held her head in place as he ran his tongue on her lips to entice her more and this Aria got lost in the kiss. Seeing that Aria was responding, Noah did not waste another second and attacked her savagely. He deepened the kiss not allowing her to comprehend what was happening to her. They were close to each other that they could feel each other rhythmic heartbeats.

Aria wound her hands around Noah's waist as she responded back with equal vigor and strength. She clung closer to him trying to get more of him. Aria had been wishing to kiss those delectable lips since the time Noah had run his tongue over them on the car. Now that she had got the opportunity, she would not allow it to go a waste. She was not going to leave him until she was satisfied.

She bit on his lips first and started to nibble on them, not waiting for Noah to take the action. This she was going to dominate the kiss and show the man what she was made of. She stood on her toes and on seeing that she was still a little short to reach him comfortably, she jumped onto him and wound her legs around his waist. Noah was initially startled to see her participate proactively. But the next second, his lips curled up into a smile in happiness. If his woman wanted to dominate him, who was he to stop her? He would do whatever she wanted this time.

So, as soon as she jumped onto him, he supported her by her butt and lifted her with ease. During the entire time, the couple had not broken the kiss. Now that Aria did not have to crane her neck to meet his lips, she could do whatever she wanted. She ran her fingers through his hair while she licked his lips slowly but sensually. Noah was about to go crazy with the way she was taking charge and as soon he felt her tongue on his lips, his mind exploded.

He now wanted to take over and rip her dress off and fuck her brains out. However, he stopped himself as he wanted to what Aria would next. He wanted to go through the sweet torture as this the first time Aria was trying to take control. As he waited, he felt Aria trying to get access to his mouth and Noah did not hesitate even a second to allow her what she needed. He opened his mouth and the next instant, he felt her soft and sweet tongue in his mouth. It just felt amazing to kiss her this way and it felt all the more mindblowing if his darling girl was the one to take control.

Aria too was lost in the kiss. It felt just awesome and the right thing to do. She ran her tongue everywhere inside his mouth taking in his salivating taste. Her eyes closed automatically as her entangled with his and she let out a soft moan, making Noah lose his mind once again. The erotic noises she was making were torture to him and his self-control. He was not sure how long he could stay without following his way with her. His little friend had already gone rock hard by now and it was waiting for action, making it unbelievably painful for him.

Noah knew that his father-in-law would not be coming in, not for now at least and none of his guards ever walked this way. The two were all alone for the time being. So, he placed Aria on the kitchen counter with his hands now on her waist. If wanted to take charge of the kiss, he could take charge of other things and he did just that. He lifted her shirt slightly and ran his hands on her waist. He did not even have to do anything much, Aria shivered the moment his hot hand touched her skin. It made her all the more excited and aroused.

Her mind stopped speaking and her soul had left her body long back. All she could think about Noah's lips and his hands that were now running on her waist. Noah forced himself between her legs, spreading them apart and pressed his body on hers.

At first, she did not feel a thing. But as soon he pressed himself on her, she felt his rock hard manhood touching her right at her core and her eyes widened in shock. She stopped her attack on his lips and released him abruptly. But Noah did not stop what he was doing. In fact, he started to become more aggressive. He started to grind his manhood over her core and this time Aria lost it even though they were completely dressed.
