Chapter 205
Silas tasted like peace, like relief, like a soothing balm to an aching heart.
Ivy pulled him closer, pressing herself against him. His erection pressed into her stomach, and it made her
Silas moaned as his hands slid to her butt. “Baby,” he breathed.
One hand squeezed her gently, while the other moved up to her breast, cupping it with quiet urgency.
Her knees buckled with desire, her heart pounding with emotion.
When their lips finally parted, they chuckled in unison.
Ivy tucked her hair behind her ear, her cheeks burning up.
Silas cleared his throat, his face red as he looked away.
“How… are you?” he asked after some moments.
“Sad, but better now,” she admitted.
Ivy shivered as her mind flashing back to the scene.

with want.
Jonathan lying on the ground, bleeding and unresponsive. She, touching him, screaming, crying, begging him to wake up.
Silas wrapped his arms around her, jolting her out of thoughts. “I’m sorry you went through that.”
She nodded. “Thanks.”
There was no point denying how she felt anymore. She loved him, and she was tired of punishing them both.
Her heart tightened as she remembered the pain in his expression when Cole had joined them. When she couldn’t shake his face from her mind,
she knew it was time to come back home.
She stepped closer. “I’m sorry. I know I’ve prolonged this. I know I shouldn’t have come here with everything-”
He interrupted her with his lips. Her words dissolved as her hands wrapped around his neck.
“I am sorry,” he said, pulling away slightly, his eyes burning with raw emotion that made her heart flutter. “I shouldn’t have pushed. I’m sorry.”
He kissed her again, lowering his mouth to her neck, licking that hollow teasingly.
She purred, closing her eyes as pleasure rippled through her.
“Let’s go upstairs,” she managed to say breathlessly.
“Uhrnm.” His voice rumbled against her skin, and she felt a gush between her thighs, soaking her panties.

Silas lifted her effortlessly. She laughed at the sudden motion, wrapping her arms tighter around him. In no time, he was in the room.
Ivy’s heart sank when she entered. The coziness, the familiarity–it struck her unexpectedly.
When she saw the pile of Silas’s clothes by the bedside, her chest tightened even more.
“You… have been sleeping here?”
Silas chuckled sheepishly. “Yeah. It was the only way I could survive the nights.
Her stomach dropped, and she kissed him softly. “I’ve been so stupid.”
He kissed her back. “You’re not. It’s okay, baby. I love you.”
“I love you too,” she whispered.
Silas took her mouth hungrily, sending shivers down her spine. He cupped her face, deepening the kiss, and she clung to him like he was oxygen.
“I want to show you how much I missed you,” he said, his voice thick.
She nodded, unable to say a word.

Chapter 205
One by one, Silas peeled off her clothes, until she stood naked before him.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he whispered before taking her erect nipple in his hungry mouth.
She gave in to the sensation, already crumbling from the inside. When he moved to the other nipple, she almost lost her mind.

His tongue traced the outline of her breast and she groaned, reaching to him, arching to be touched.
Silas straightened up and removed his clothes. When her eyes landed on his erection, she reached for it instinctively.
“Ah, baby,” he moaned, trembling.
She rubbed his tip, teasing his opening with her fingers until his secretion stained her hand.
She jerked him up and down slowly, pulling him in for a kiss. His moans sent heat rushing through her, and for come from the sound alone.
She crawled back to the bed. “Come.”
He obeyed, his eyes glinting with desire and love. He kissed her before settling for her nipples again.

Ivy opened her legs, passion churning in her belly. She expected him to enter her–but instead, it was his face that moved between her thighs.
“Silas!” she gasped as his tongue found her clit.
He plunged into her, his tongue warm and eager. She took a handful of his dark hair, opening her legs wildly, inviting him deeper.
He sucked her pussy lips, playing with them between his mouth. Ivy collapsed, her heart racing.
Her legs curled as Silas buried his tongue deeper, moving faster.
“Baby… I…”
Before she could finish, her body jerked, her eyes rolled back, and her pussy pulsed with waves of intense pleasure until she found her breath again.
What just happened? This orgasm felt different–more electric. Maybe her body just missed him more.
“Fuck, baby! You squirted!” Silas exclaimed, joy lighting up his voice.
“What?” she asked, breathless.
He leaned over her, his body–warm against hers, his length pressing against her thigh.
“You just unlocked something deep inside you. wonder if there’s more treasure to find,” he teased.
She laughed. “Should we find out?”
His eyes sparkled before he kissed her again. Then he took her with a deep, powerful thrust
She gasped, wrapping her legs around him, craving more. He moved inside her, and she matched his rhythm, clinging to each other like moths to light.
“I love you,” Silas said, each word punctuated by a thrust.
Ivy’s heart clenched as she saw tears welling in his eyes. “I love you, Silas.”
The tears spilled down his cheeks as he buried his face in her hair, sniffing it, pounding her harder until she felt her climax building again.
“I…”
He knew and his pace quickened.
With one long, deep thrust, Silas came inside her.
He collapsed next to her, and they cuddled and passed out like that until morning,
The next morning, Ivy woke to the smell of something delicious. When she opened her eyes, she saw Silas setting a plate of food on the table.
“Good morning, beautiful,” he said, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

“Hey babe,” she replied, stretching.
“Did you sleep well?”
She remembered the sex, and her stomach fluttered. “Like a baby.”
“Great,” Silas said, perching on the bed. “How are you feeling though? After… yesterday?”
The memories surfaced, but this time, she pushed them back. “Much better,” she said.
Silas nodded, his eyes full of concern. “Okay then. I brought food. Monica made it herself, said sh
Guilt rippled through Ivy’s chest as she sat up. “I didn’t even think of how others felt when I left.
“Sometimes we all have to be,” he said, squeezing her hand gently.
“Yeah.”
“I have something to tell you,” he began. “And I know it might make you uncomfortable…”
She shifted closer. “What

He told her about Aria’s sex tape. “I know you hate it, but-”

“I can’t judge her,” she interrupted softly. “We all have our flaws, and we still have to love each other despite them.”
Silas smiled. “Thank you, baby.”
“What do you want to do?” she asked, concerned.
“I don’t know,” he admitted. “I’m hoping Tyler can come up with something big, like a distraction.”
Something clicked in her mind.
back home.”
“What if I make the distraction? Aaliyah’s news can be released sooner. That way you find a way to get the tape off the Internet.”
Silas’s eyes widened and he stood up. “Yes. We’ll make it bigger than ever.” He kissed her forehead. “You’re a genius.”
She laughed, but before she could say anything, her phone rang. She grabbed it and saw Cheryl’s name on the screen.
“Hey, Cheryl.”
“Hey, cunt!”
It wasn’t Cheryl. It was Mason.
Ivy’s stomach churned. “Mason. Where is Cheryl?”
“I asked the question here! Mason snapped. “If don’t want your fucking friend to be hurt, you’ll pay me five million dollars.”
She scoffed. “Why the fuck would-”
“Oh Ivy, you don’t get it, do you?” He laughed darkly. “Talk to your friend.”
“Ivy,” Cheryl’s voice came through the phone, shaking. “Save Cole. Please.”
Ivy stood from the bed, with Silas watching her with alarm. “You fucker! If you touch-
“Five million, Ivy,” Mason barked. “And just to show how serious I am, I’m leaving her baby and her phone in the car on Walter’s Street. Time is ticking.”
“No!” Ivy heard Cheryl’s scream.
Then a car door slammed.
And then, little Cole’s tiny cries pierced through the phone.
