Book 1: Echoes Of The Past

Chapter 36 - Downtime

"Hey, you all unpacked and settled?" Shannon asked Ivy.

Ivy nodded. She was feeling pretty tired now that she had had a chance to relax from a busy day and her flight.

Shannon looked at his watch. It was about 7:45pm.

"I made you a coffee. Are you hungry? I know plane food tastes like ass."

"And how would you know what ass tastes like? Wait...don't answer that, I don't want to know."

Shannon looked at her and smirked.

"Gross." Ivy scoffed.

"I bet you wouldn't be saying that if it was your ass I was eating." He told her,  walking over to her and sliding his hands to hold her hips and looked at her.

"And that's something you won't be finding out." She smiled sweetly at him.

"Hmmm." He lent in and caught her lips with his.

Ivy moved and slid her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. She started to feel him rolling his hips into her, before pulling away from her and leading her into his kitchen where her coffee was waiting for her.

"Thank you for making this for me." Ivy turned her head to look at him from over her shoulder and smiled at him.

"It's no problem, I hope you enjoy it."

"I'm sure I will."

"So I was thinking of making some Fijitas for dinner. Just something quick as I'm sure you're tired from your flight."

"I am pretty tired. It's been a hard day. I handed my notice in today to Nick."

She sighed and fiddled with her ponytail.

"What did he say?" Shannon sipped at his own coffee.

"He hadn't replied by the time I caught my flight to come here. I haven't looked since."

"I'm proud of you you know."

*Next Day*

Shannon's phone went off to signify he had recieved a message. He rolled over in bed and picked it up to quickly check what it said. It was from Emma just letting him know that she had emailed him a rough copy of the video they had recorded for 'Hurricane'.

Replacing his phone back over on his nightstand, he shifted to roll over and lie on his side facing Ivy. She was still blissfully asleep and looked so peaceful. He shifted closer to her and reached out to tuck some loose hair behind her ear. He saw her frown as she slept and her eyelids fluttered slightly.

Leaning in, he brushed his lips lightly over hers and saw a smile start to form on her lips. As he did so, he moved to reach out and slowly slide his hand to the hem of the T-shirt she had worn to bed.

They had had dinner and then Ivy had gone to bed shortly after, with Shannon coming to join her not long afterwards.

Slowly, Shannon worked his hand up further under the T-shirt she wore, roaming his hand over the vast expanses of her silky soft skin.

He heard her sigh deeply and the smile on her face grew bigger, she still had her eyes shut.

Sliding his hand up under the side of her black, lace thong that she wore under her shirt, he ran his hand over the rolling curve of her hip, guiding his hand round to the back of her to roughly grab her ass cheek.

Ivy softly groaned and she began to roll her hips towards him.

Moving his hand back around to the side of her thong he maneuvered to slide his fingers under the edge of the lace and round to her core.
