Author's POV
It was 5:30 in the morning when Jayden head towards his gym, he froze in his position for a second when he saw the sexy sight in front of him. Ivy was already there doing her workout, his eyes lustfully lingered on her body when he saw her hitting the gym in her sports bra and black tights, her body was covered in sweat and her tight clothes were clinging to her sweaty, curvy body, the site itself was drool worthy.
"Continue…”
Jayden ordered her when she stopped doing her exercise after looking at him.
He was only in his track pant, his sexy eight pack abs and v line was clearly on the view, he tried to judge her face if she is checking him out or at least stealing glances but nope, her eyes were only focused on his face, not even a inch down from his jaw, totally ignoring his Greek god like body, which disappointed him.
He always saw women drooling over his mere sight but this girl didn’t even look at him twice.
He started doing his own exercise occasionally stealing glances at her but she was only focused on her practice.
******************
Before breakfast Ivy made herself a coffee and placed it on the dining table, but before she could drink it she got a call from Hughes, she excused herself from Sophie and Asher and walked outside to talk with him.
Jayden came to the dining hall and saw Ivy is absent he sat on his chair after greeting everyone.
"Where is she?"
He asked and Asher looked at him amused…
"She is attending a phone call, why, are you missing your bodyguard already?"
He grinned making Jayden roll his eyes...
He picked up the coffee mug placed in front him and took a sip, his nose instantly filled with the delicious Aroma of the coffee and his mouth with its divine bittersweet taste.
"It's amazing...”
He praised the coffee taking another sip.
Ivy came back and saw Jayden drinking her coffee.
Jayden’s eyes locked on her seeing her in uniform, she was looking perfect in her black suit, he was admiring her.
"It was not for you, it was Ivy’s coffee, she made it for herself…”
Asher said and Jayden looked between him and Rose.
"No it's ok, I'll make myself another one...”
Saying that she went to the kitchen...
Jayden gave asher a mocking smile making Sophie laugh silently.
"I don't think you have a chance with her, do you think I haven't noticed how you were ready to pound on her yesterday.”
Asher whispered to Jayden, mocking him.
"Don't challenge me, I am your boss for a reason, I get whatever I want...”
Jayden whispered back...
"Not with her man, she is not interested in you, you can't have her, I bet...”
Asher gave him a fake smile...
"Fine, challenge accepted, I'll have her, soon. Mark my words.
Jayden smirked evilly.
They stopped talking when Ivy came back with her coffee.
***********************
"You can borrow some books from the library if you are getting bored.”
Sophie said to Ivy.
Jayden’s office was in his house and there was nothing much to do for ivy when he was working in his office the whole day. She decided to read some books as per Sophie’s suggestion.
"Ok, thanks.”
She thanked her and went to the library, which was close to Damian's office, Ivy was admiring the big library beautifully arranged with all kinds of books.
She searched different sections looking for a book as per her liking.
She finally found it but it was in the upper shelf, she tried to reach there but failed, giving up she decided to use ladder but before she turned around, she felt a presence behind her and with his delicious scent she quickly understood who that was, his muscular body caged her between the bookshelf and him, her back was touching his front.
"This one?”
He asked pointing towards the book she wanted, his minty cool breath fanned her neck, making unwanted Goosebumps appear on her body by his husky voice.
She nodded, he handed her the book and smirked looking at her visible Goosebumps, knowing that even if she doesn't show, he still has an effect on her.
"Thank you"
She replied creating some safe distance between
them.
He nodded in response he was about to leave but then she called him from behind.
"Boss.”
"Yes?"
He turned towards her curiously.
She took out a ring from her pocket, he raised his eyebrows questioningly looking at the gold ring which has sparkling white diamond on it.
"This ring has a transmitter in it, you just have to press this diamond in emergency and I'll be there in no time, Asher told me you got attacked recently, it's for security purposes, please wear it and don't take it off.”
She said handing him the ring, he took the ring and inspected it carefully, he walked towards her direction again caging her against the bookshelf.
"So basically you are putting a tracker on me, huh?"
He said huskily near her ear and looked into her eyes amusingly.
"Yes...”
She confirmed avoiding the eye contact.
He chuckled,
“Damn I never thought someone will put a tracker on me and I will accept it without any problem, but it's going to be fun, you have no idea how badly I am going to misuse this ring, my little bodyguard.”
He thought to himself smirking.
*********************
It was midnight, the moon was shining outside, guards were patrolling around the knight's mansion.
The security was tight but they didn't noticed the blonde Assassin sneakily entering the mansion, she entered in Jayden’s room successfully breaking the tight security and escaping from the eyes of all his men, no one saw her, afterall she was a trained Assassin...
Jayden was sleeping peacefully in his king size bed, totally unaware that this girl was there to kill him.
She took out her long sharp knife and walked towards the bed, she was about to stab him but her hand stopped in midway.
Confused she turned her head towards the direction of her hand which was in tight grip of another feminine hand.
Her expressions turned into shock with fear when her eyes met the furious grey ones.
