As they walked to the next luxury boutique hand in hand Ivy could feel the tension in Noah, he held on to her hand tightly and his walk was slightly faster than normal. He would usually slow his pace down when they walked together.
Ivy wanted to relieve some of Noah's tension, she could still feel his annoyance at the situation that had just occurred even though he tried his best to hide it. She remembered how easily and quickly he had shielded her; she felt happy and proud that he was her lover.
Building up her courage she smiled and said, "Your hands would look better wrapped around my neck."
Noah stopped his footsteps and he had been holding back the anger he felt at the two delusionally greedy idiots he had just met. Hearing Ivy he was blindsided by her words, usually she would never be so open in public.
