"Thanks," she murmured, breathing in Noah's manly cologne on the jacket as she felt the warmth, she felt relaxed and happy.

Noah's lips curved in response. Ivy stole a small peek at the older man before directing her attention back to the night sky.

Noah looked anything but awkward. How on earth could Noah stay so composed after the confession was beyond Ivy. He tried not to act too shy, reminding herself that it shouldn't come as a shock. Didn't Thomas tell him countless times that Noah was concerned about him?

"What are you thinking?" Noah stared at Ivys bright eyes and small blush on her cheeks.

"No—nothing," she said nervously, without looking. "Just enjoying the breeze and the stars."

Noah took one last look at her before replying. "You're a poor liar... Let's sit down and eat."

Noah guided her to sit doen at the table and then he joined her, sitting opposite her. He put some steak and salad on her plate before he helped himself. Ivy knew he was giving her time to process the confession and to reply.

Noah and Ivy ate and together comfortably. After they finished up their meal they headed home to their apartment together.

Aiden and Thomas noticed the strange atmosphere from they boarded the car until they had left them at their apartment door.

Thomas turned to Aiden. "Are mom and dad fighting again?"

Aiden slapped his shoulder. "Who are you calling mom and dad? Come to mine and let's have a beer in case we are in for it tomorrow."

Inside the apartment, Noah had taken off his coat and shoes he watched as Ivy made her way to the bedroom. He went to his bar and poured himself a whiskey, swirling the amber liquid then downing it. He poured another shot of whiskey into his glass before following Ivy into their bedroom. He heard the shower water running. He stood and stared out off his floor to ceiling window.

After a while, the water had stopped and Ivy exited the bathroom, Noah had heard her enter the bedroom. He had been patiently waiting for a response from earlier but he had received none, he decided to give her some incentive.

He walked to Ivy and pulled her to the bed and made her straddle him.

"What are you?" She saw him take something out of his white tailored shirt pocket.

It was the circular love cross she had given him, she accepted it and saw the dent in it, her eyebrows furrow and look at Noah questioning him.

"It's the Celtic love cross you gave me that day at the lake," Noah explained and watched his lover's eyes widen in shock. Ivy was intelligent enough to determine the rest for herself. "Without it, the bullet would have gone straight to my heart."

Ivy held the Celtic love cross in her palm tightly and placed her other hand on over his heart. The tears fell as she muttered something incoherently.

"Why are you crying?" Noah asked as he brushed her hair, wiping her tears from her face and lovingly cupped her face.

"I don't know why, I just feel sad at the thought of something happening to you." She wiped her tears.

"You know why... Tell me." Noah pulled her face to his, both of there foreheads touching.

"Because... Because I love you, I don't want you hurt because I love you." Noah smiled with satisfaction, the words were like a sweet melody to his ears.

He watched her emerald green eyes they sparkled like two gems. With a tug, he pulled his lover close and locked their lips together.

Tomorrow there will be a mountain of paperwork that he had left behind but for now, he would enjoy some time with his lover.

Noah had already removed his coat, leaving only his white shirt, tie and black vest. A lock fell from Noah's perfectly combed hair, covering part of his intense onyx eyes.

God, he's as sexy as hell Ivy thought. She licked her lips as she moved closer. Her own silk nightdress dress had ridden up from straddling Noah.

As if he anticipated Ivy's movements, Noah removed the gun from his shoulder holster and placed it on the bedside table.

Ivy pulled Noah's tie free; let the silky garment fall onto the floor.

"It's all you tonight beautiful" Noah commanded as he watched Ivy shed her nightdress before throwing it on the floor.

Ivys cheeks burned but she stayed focused and proceeded to unbutton Noah's white shirt, opening one button at a time. Surprisingly, she didn't fumble with the buttons like she always did. Moving to Noah's belt, she removed it then popped his pants button then slowly unzipped his tailored pants. She saw his black designer boxers and she blushed timidly as she released his throbbing manhood.

Ivys wet entrance touched Noah's hardened manhood. Her cheeks burned with embarrassment as she continued to hover over her lover.

Fuck it, she told herself, she was too aroused to care anymore.

"Come here." Noah pulled her closer, he was extremely turned on right now.

Noah reached out to touch Ivy but she surprised him by pushing him away slightly. Noah showed his confusion.

Ivy promptly took the length into her hand. Shee heard Noah's voice hitch as he caressed his length and she was satisfied to know that Noah was responding to her touches.

"Ivy, pleasure me," Noah commanded.

Kneeling down, Ivy took Noah's manhood in her hand again, pumped him a few more times before engulfing him in her mouth. Placing his hand on Ivys hair, Noah restrained himself from pushing Ivy down on the bed and ravishing her body. Ivy knew exactly what he liked and before long she had him panting near his climax.

He watched Ivy pleasure him, he was losing control. It didn't take him long to release inside Ivys mouth. Ivy took it all and looked up smiling at him.

"Straddle me, Ivy," Noah commanded. Ivy straddled his waist and Noah used his two fingers to pleasure Ivy, before long she was wet and ready to take him. Ivy lowered herself onto his manhood, she moved slowly to get used to his length.

Noah thought Ivy was beautiful. Ivy let out a delightful moan. Noah helped Ivy and started to thrust with lust. Ivy put her arms around Noah's neck. Both felt the ecstasy of release. Noah continued to slam into her, he felt her walls contract. She was near release as well.

Giving Ivy a few hard thrusts, he felt his large manhood twitch and finally released inside Ivy, savouring his climax before pulling away. Ivy still had her arms wrapped around Noah's neck and had fallen into a blissful sleep.

Noah smiled and kissed her cheek before laying her down and kissing her again. He cleaned himself then Ivy, he dressed them both before getting in bed beside Ivy embracing her tightly in his arms.

"Love you too." He whispered into the darkroom before closing his eyes.
