A marriage deal with billionaire stone (Ivy and Silas)

Chapter 114: Time Stopped Moving.

Silas lifted his head as Ivy entered. His chest squeezed when he saw the shock on her face.

She had to be shocked, he was the one who had fought his way to her room like a savage animal.

He stood up slowly from the bed, training his voice not to sound so pathetic. "I had to see you."

Her shock changed into anger and she dropped her bag on the table. "You have to leave, Silas."

Her tone was harsh. Yet, his heart bled for her attention. Anger was better than being ignored all day.

"I had Detective Spence call you," he said, knowing that was a conversation that would soften her heart.

And it did, because he noticed as her frown disappeared. "Yeah. Thanks. I already linked him up with Geo."

His brow lifted. "Who's Geo?"

"My adopted brother. It's a long story," she said with a sigh and turned to him, the anger returning to her eyes. "What do you want?"

Silas stepped forward, not close enough to touch her, but close enough if he wanted to. And he did want to touch her, but he knew she would reject him, and he couldn't take her rejection any longer.

"I'm sorry," he said softly. "I was a fool to bring Kim into our home."

Ivy looked at him. Her green eyes softened and that melted something inside him. He stepped closer and when she didn't flinch, he grabbed her by her waist and pulled her to him.

His heart fluttered with emotions as he rested his mouth on her hair. "I'm sorry. I'll fix it, give me time."

He felt her shiver when she discovered his arousal. Slowly, he kissed her hair, dropping his needy lips to her forehead.

Something escaped from her lips and she quickly nudged him away.

"You still have to leave," she said, averting her eyes so he wouldn't see the emotions in them.

"I can't go," he told her. "Just let me spend the night with you. The guestroom is uncomfortable, please."

She lifted her head sharply. "The guestroom? I... thought you slept..." she trailed off, her cheeks turning red.

Of course, she had thought he slept in his room with Kim.
