Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Ivy held the spoon in front of Joshua, waiting for him to drink the soup. Though Joshua was capable of drinking it on his own, he liked the attention he was getting from his girl. He liked how she was fretting over everything related to him and how she cared for him. Even though Ivy had not revealed her emotions, he could grasp what she felt for him. She loved him more than he had thought, and her eyes said it all.

Ivy noticed Joshua observing her, not making an effort to drink the soup. Her hand was still in the air, the spoon right in front of his lips. She frowned as she stared back at the man in confusion. "Is everything alright? Don't you like the soup? Is it not to your liking? Do you want me to prepare something else?"

Ivy blabbered, without thinking and Joshua's lips quirked up in amusement seeing her flustered self. With answering any of the questions, he leaned forward and drank the soup, licking the spoon clean. His actions stunned Ivy, and she could not avert his gaze from him. Joshua held Ivy's hand as he licked the spoon slowly, his tongue darting out sensually, igniting a desire in Ivy. She wriggled her hand out of his grasp but Joshua tightened his hold on her and pulled her close.

"Joshua, what are you doing?" She narrowed her gaze, raising her eyebrows questioningly.

"What am I doing, darling?" Joshua mused, throwing her question at her.

"Let me go."

"And, why would I do that?"

"Because you need to finish the soup."

"But I prefer to drink something else." Ivy blinked at him in confusion and stared at the man, who was smirking at her devilishly. Her eyes widened when the realization hit her. But she quickly composed herself, donning a teasing smile on her face.

"But to do that you need to be strong. And currently, you are not. You are weak. So, listen to me and finish the soup like a good boy." Ivy ruffled his hair using her free hand, and Joshua glared at her making her smile wider.

"Are you doubting my abilities?" He clutched her wrist tight, but not to the point of hurting her

"Oh, no, no, Not all I. How could I?" Ivy shook her head at once, putting on an innocent face. "I am just saying that your current situation is unfavorable for you to do anything like you want to. You must eat and rest well so that you can recover quickly." Although Ivy did not say it directly, Joshua could hear her teasing him from the tone she was using.

"Ivy, take back your words." He threatened lowly.

"Did I say anything wrong? Why are you getting agitated?" Ivy questioned, tilting her head in confusion. Her face was an epitome of innocence as though she had no idea what they were talking about. But her eyes said otherwise. There was mischief lingering in them, and Joshua pursed his lips before he pulled her to him with force.

Ivy gaped at him on being pulled suddenly, and she was now leaning over him, her lips barely an inch away from his face. Her one hand was still in Joshua's grasp while the other was on his chest as she tried to support her body.

"Joshua, what.."

"You asked for it." That was all Joshua said before he slammed his lips on hers, taking her breath away. Ivy did not even have the time to pull away, for Joshua held her head, pushing her closer to him. If not for Ivy grasping Joshua's bicep at the right moment, Ivy would have fallen over for sure.

She stared at the man in shock as he nipped on her lips. 'Gosh! I missed this.' He sighed in bliss as he continued to kiss her, coaxing her gently to open up for him. However, Ivy's mouth remained shut, for she was still stupefied as she stared back at him with her eyes wide.

Joshua released her head as he continued to kiss her and wrapped his hand around her waist. Even before Ivy knew it, she was sitting on the bed, with her front pressing Joshua's chest. "You.." She tried to open her mouth to protest. But the man swallowed all her complaints as he plunged his tongue inside her mouth. 

Now, Ivy had no way to move away. Except for her left hand, Joshua was restraining her, forcing her to succumb to him, and Ivy too did not have the heart to break the kiss. She had waited to hug him, kiss him, and be this close for a long time. Now that she had got the opportunity finally, she did not want to lose it.

Ivy closed her eyes as she kissed him back, tilting her head slightly as she adjusted to a comfortable position. Joshua's heart flipped in joy, and he deepened the kiss, running his tongue inside her mouth before he wrapped them over hers. She tasted exactly as he remembered. Sweet and addictive, and Joshua could not get enough of her. 

They continued to kiss, their tongues involved in a fierce tango as they fought for dominance. Finally, Ivy relented to him, letting the man do as he pleased. Even though she was lost in the kiss, she made sure to keep herself away from his injured shoulder, putting no pressure on him. 

Joshua kissed her until he had sucked all the breath away from her, and finally, when he felt Ivy mewling in protest, he let go. But he made sure to keep her close as he watched her gasping for breath. A thin line of saliva connected their lips which broke the moment Ivy took in a deep breath. 

Her eyes were glazed, her lips swollen and her cheeks were tainted with a beautiful shade of pink. Joshua could not look away from her. He had never seen anyone this beguiling, and just her face was enough to take his breath away. "So lovely!!" He mumbled as he pushed the strand of hair that had fallen over his face.

Joshua did not want to stop. Her beautiful face made him want to kiss her again, and he did just that. Once again, his lips attacked hers, taking Ivy with him again. 

Right at this moment, the door to the ward opened, and Ian entered. The scene he saw made him freeze in his spot, his smile vanishing from his face. Ivy was completely over Joshua while the man's hand was wrapped her waist as they kissed each other without a care in the world. His eyes widened before he snapped out his stupor and he yelled in distress.

"My eyes, my eyes, my eyes!!!"
