Waking up Ivy stretched and felt the cold sheets on Noah's side of the bed. Letting her know that he had gotten up a long time ago. Ivy rolled onto his side and smells his cologne on the pillow. Ivy has now given in and won't fight about staying here for now. It'll do, I am enjoying it and it's too much effort to escape the thought.

Rolling into her fluffy bed cocoon Ivy decided to take it easy today. She got up and stretched, going to the wardrobe she put on her leggings and sports bra before typing her hair up. She went to the door and sure enough, Thomas is standing there in his suit.

​​

"You're following me?".

"Yes".

He says as he looks at her apologetically.

"Well then get changed. Usually when I run its about 5km and you can't do that in a suit".

"Ok, come to my place with me while I change please".

We go to Thomas apartment and Ivy was greeted by a very happy Zeus. He looks like he's had fun with Thomas.

"Zeus is happy and healthy, thanks for the trouble".

Thomas comes out in a black sports top and long black shorts. Ivy met him wearing something similar at Luke's boxing gym.

"Ready?".

"Are we not taking Zeus?".

He asks while pointing at Zeus as he gets comfortable on the couch.

"He's more of an I walk when I have to kind of dog. Let's go".

We head out of the apartment block and Ivy sees the security personnel everywhere. They nod at Thomas and looked at her sceptically. Ivy smiled and nodded at them making them either look away or blush slightly. They are probably wondering who Ivy was as they usually come in through the underground car park and straight to the lift.

We run out and find a park and set a steady pace. Thomas is quite fit and keeping up with me. Then he motions for me to stop. He checks his phone and while Ivy stretched then he looks over at me.

"What is it?".

"Boss is asking about you".

"Send him a pic".

"Seriously?"

Ivy stood in her running gear and give him a flirty pose and smile. That should keep him going a while, no point in me being the only one left drooling all the time she thought.

Thomas puts away his phone and they continue to run, not aware of the chaos her photo brought to a certain possessive CEO.

They get back to Noah's apartment and they are both all sweaty from a good run. Thomas makes her promise to not go anywhere and Ivy promised because he needs a shower.

Ivy showers and changed and sat back on the bed and then took out her laptop.

Jamie had sent her a message, so she grabbed my phone.

"What's the sos?".

"It's Pierces birthday and his ex split with him a week ago so he is all alone on his birthday, we have to bring him out and cheer him up".

"Ok where?".

"Flogging Mollies".

"Sure that bar sounds good for some drinks. He hates night clubs so it's perfect".

"See you at nine".

"I'll pick you up and be I'll be bringing my friend Thomas".

We end the call, Ivy has gotten even more used to Thomas now so she texts him to tell him to be ready to go out at half eight tonight. Just as she set her phone down it buzzed with a text message alert.

(Where are you going tonight?)

Ivy looked at the number and she can guess from the tone it's from a certain man of few words CEO Noah Adler, so she pretends she was not sure.

(Wrong number)

Ivy opened up the image and dropped her phone as soon as she opened the file. She smiled and blushed this man has zero shame she thought. He sent her a picture back of him standing in front of a mirror with only a towel swung low on his hips. He's getting me back for my earlier photo. My phone buzzes again.

(Send me pictures from your phone from now on. Don't let others have it stored on their phone. Where are you going tonight?)

Ok Mr jelly, she would send him all kinds of sexy pics from now on.

(Flogging Mollies, friends birthday party just a few drinks)

(Take Thomas. I'll be back late)

For a few hours, she browsed through the dark web looking at jobs and completing one or two. Many of the high-risk jobs are pretty easy with my skills.

Ivy came across a job in which Lynch Enterprise has requested intel for a trade that's happening today between William Lockheart and Noah Adler. It must be why Noah is busy today she thought.

Ivy looked into the security systems in place and find them lacking so she boosts their system and firewall. Seeing her work was done she headed off for the shower and to get ready for the night.

Ivy picked out some black leather trousers and a maroon top that completely covers my chest but exposes my back. She let her wavy hair down and she does some simple makeup with a dramatic red lip and she was done.

With a quick pose of her back view showing her bum and naked back, she sent it to Noah with a wink emoji.
