When Joshua saw Ivy looking at him perplexed on noticing him beside the pool, his lips quirked up unknowingly. His eyes took in her wet body and his Adam's apple bobbed. The sight before him was very enticing, especially with the way water trickled down the valley of her breasts. Oh, how he wished to run his hands through her wet body.
He waited patiently as Ivy walked towards him, her eyes not looking at him. He knew she was coming to get her robe which was lying on one of the chairs. He sauntered closer and he stood right in front of the chair. Now, if Ivy wanted the robe, she had to speak to him at all costs. He would not allow her plan to escape, which he had guessed long back seeing her flustered self, to be a success.
He had been stunned and tantalized when she had bent down to pick her robe. The position had accentuated her curves and oh my god, he inhaled sharply, his hormones were going haywire. Seeing Ivy was about to leave him, something snapped in him and he pulled her by her robe. Before he knew what was happening, he had succumbed to his desires and had kissed her.
Joshua felt her soft lips on his and his body caught up in flames instantly. How long had it been since he got laid? The lust and the hidden feelings in him for Ivy came gushing to him and he lost all his control on himself. He curled his hands around her waist and pulled her closer as he deepened the kiss. Joshua nibbled on her lips before he bit her a little too hard making her gasp in pain. He took this opportunity and plunged his slick tongue into her hot cavern dominating Ivy's mind, body and soul.
When Joshua's lips had met hers, Ivy's mind had been blown away. She had never expected him to kiss her and damn it was so hot. It was not that she had never been kissed before. She had kissed a guy in her past, unlike Aria whose first kiss was stolen by Noah. But this kiss was different than all those past kisses, which was less than five, she had experienced before.
Though she wanted to protest, her body had gone numb with the way he was kissing her senseless. She was clueless that she had given complete control to Joshua, which he happily took over. The moment his tongue met hers, she felt him pull her closer to him and she wrapped her hands behind his neck. Now they were stuck to each other like two pieces of magnet. Joshua did not even realize, his dress was getting drenched slowly, not that he cared about it.
While his tongue explored her sweet yet hot mouth, he picked her up and supported her by her buttocks. Ivy wrapped her legs onto his waist and held onto him. He started moving towards one of the pool chairs and eased her slowly on it, not breaking the kiss. He secretly appreciated her breathing ability. She had lasted longer than the women he had kissed previously. She had not pushed him away nor was she having any difficulty breathing yet.
As he lied her down on the chair, he hovered above her taking in her flushed face. At that moment, she looked so tempting and attractive, and never had he seen such a beauty before. Her eyes were closed as she kissed him back. Her wet hair was sticking to her face and it made him lose his mind all the more. He had never felt this way before. The beast in him had been unleashed and he knew that it would not get satisfied until he completely devoured the woman in his arms.
Seeing her slowly get out of breath, he released her lips. But his lips did not leave her body and they attacked her neck making her gasp. His expert hands untied the sash and her robe was wide open for him to see what was being hidden beneath it. As he sucked on her neck, Ivy curled her toes. The pleasure was too much for her. He was making her feel so good, everything felt so good.
Satisfied with the mark he had left on her neck, he then proceeded to her collarbone. But before that, he did not forget to take a look at her again. Her face was glowing brightly and her cheeks were tainted with a pinkish-red. The back of her hand was covering her mouth as she took in deep breaths and her eyes were still closed.
He lifted her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers and bit on the skin just below her collarbone and this time Ivy moaned. This was the sexiest sound he had ever heard and his body reacted even more. He was already hard before the kiss had even started and now it had become painfully hard for him. He very badly wanted to thrust his erect little buddy into her body and the pleasure he was craving for, but he controlled himself.
He sensed that Ivy was almost getting her breath back. But it was not time to leave her yet. He was not done with her. His lips left her collarbone and attached themselves to her lips again. Before he could deepen the kiss, his phone rang startling both of them. Ivy, who had lost all her senses, opened her eyes suddenly and on seeing the man before her, she pushed him will all the force she could muster.
The sudden attack made Joshua lose his hold on her. Before he could comprehend what had even happened, Ivy had stood up and scuttled away from him. All he could see was the petite's woman back as she disappeared behind the doors.
Joshua cursed loudly. He was not done with her. His hunger was not yet satisfied. He still wanted to do a lot of things but the call had disturbed his amazing moment with her. Now he was all flustered and annoyed on not being able to find his release. He wanted to kill the person responsible for his misery.
"What?" Without seeing who had called him, he picked the call and bellowed. He was irked and the person on the other side could feel his anger just by listening to him.
"Wow, wow. Calm down, Jo. What got your pants twisted? Are you alright?" Noah asked, surprised with his friend's unusual behavior. He had never behaved this way before and Noah was worried thinking what might have happened to him.
"Why did you call?" Joshua asked, controlling himself a little. But Noah could guess he was still furious about being disturbed. He wondered what was he so busy in that his call had made him lose his mind.
"Are you busy? I'll call you later if you are."
Before Noah could cut the call, Joshua stopped him. "It's okay. Tell me what you wanted to tell."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"If you say so. I just wanted to ask you if we could meet tomorrow. I have a plan regarding your video game release. Since our company's hotel inauguration and your video game release dates fall within the same week, I was thinking of doing it on the same day. If you could come over tomorrow, I can discuss the plan with you."
"Sure. I'll be there tomorrow."
"Okay. By the way, what were you doing? Why were you angry?"
"I was not angry."
"Don't lie to me, Jo. I could detect the change in your tone easily." Noah said and smiled faintly.
Joshua sighed. He could never lie to his friends as they read him like the back of their hands. "I was with Ivy."
"And?" Noah prompted, his eyes gleaming with interest.
"We kissed."
"Wow. That's unbelievable. I am so sorry for disturbing your sweet time with her." Noah's smile had reached his ears and he wished Aria was with him to hear this good news. She would have been ecstatic about seeing this progress between them.
"That's okay."
However, Noah stopped smiling suddenly when he realized something. He remembered the fear of commitment Joshua had due to his failed relationship. Now that they had kissed, he did not know what the future held for them. Though he wanted the best for both of them, he did not want to butt in their relationship either. He could not stop himself from speaking his next words as he was still worried.
"Jo, what do you have in mind? Are you going to start dating her now that you have kissed?"
"I don't know." He said, running his free hand smoothly through his hair in frustration. This question had been bugging him too and he did not know what he wanted. He was scared, scared of commitments. But he did not want to lose her either.
"Why did you kiss her then?"
"It just happened at the moment."
"Jo, please think it through. How long are you going to run away from serious relationships? Are you sure you don't want her? Are you sure you can stay cool when she starts dating someone? Can you tolerate it? Before that, tell me honestly. Do you not have any feelings for Ivy?"
"I..I.."
"Jo, let me warn you before. If you just going to toy with her, if your relationship with her is going to end somewhere in between, please don't take this step. I do not want her hurt. She is not like the women you were with before. She has a pure heart and I don't think Ivy will be able to take it if you break her heart."
Joshua listened to his friends' advice and realized the seriousness in his words. It was true that Ivy expected a long term relationship and this was a step he was hesitant to take. He did not want to go through the heartbreak again. He had suffered enough before and he would not suffer again.
"I understand," Joshua answered and cut the call. He had made up his mind. He would never allow any sort of feelings develop for her. He would never fall in love. He would never hurt her nor himself. Hurting her was the last thing he had in mind. Though he had resolved his mind to stop those budding feelings for her, they had a mind of their own. The seed was already planted and even if he wanted he could not stop it from growing and he had no idea about it
