Chapter 214

"Found?" Ivy asked, her voice cracking.

"Yes, ma'am," the officer replied. "We need you at the station right away."

"I'm on my way, thanks," she said, ending the call.

It felt almost unbelievable-so quick, yet exciting. She tossed the phone on the bed and joined Silas in the bathroom.

He was washing himself when she entered.

"They found Cheryl!"

"Awesome!" Silas exclaimed. "That's fast."

"I thought the same," she replied, stepping under the water.

"And Mason?" Silas asked, rubbing soap gently over her body.

She moved closer. "No idea. I'll find out when I get there."

"Okay," Silas said softly, his soapy hand lingering on her breasts.

Ivy relaxed under his touch, giving into the tenderness of his hands. Her eyes fell on his bare arm, and she tilted her head. "You removed the bandages."

"Yeah. It's not that bad, actually."

They fell silent, though their hands still moved in rhythm. Ivy's heart tugged with concern, and she rubbed Silas's chest.

"Let me take care of you," she whispered, her hand slipping to his erection. She lathered her hands with soap and washed him gently.

He gasped, one hand holding the transparent shower door for

support.

She leaned in closer. "I love you." Her words echoed under the water.

Silas closed the distance between them. "I love you too."

Their lips met, and they both chuckled when the soap dropped.

"It's crazy how nothing else matters when I'm with you. Sorry I left," Ivy murmured, rubbing his back.

"I love how I forget everything when I'm with you, baby."

She laughed. "Like now?"

"Like now."

"Let's finish up here."

"Yes, ma'am," Silas teased.

They washed up properly and stepped out of the bathroom. While Ivy got ready, Silas made

some calls.

Soon, she was dressed and left the house with Bud and Stud this time. They reached the station quickly and located one of the officers in charge of the

case.

"Ms. Stone," the officer said as he approached. "Your friend is upstairs."
