Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Joycelyn was completely exhausted .

Call me honey .

Ellison said , his tone insistent .

Joycelyn bit her lip , letting out a soft , almost inaudible sound .

Good girl .

If it feels good , just say it .

No need to hold back Ellison lowered his head , his lips grazing her fair neck .

He watched her flushed face and dazed , seductive expression in the mirror , his voice low and coaxing 523 Ellison … Grant Joycelyn gritted her teeth and said his full name , her tone filled with resistance .

She really wanted to pull away .

The scene of their entangled bodies was too embarrassing for her to even look at Youre calling me by my full name now ? Ellison murmured , biting her shoulder She couldnt hold back any longer and cried out softly .

Ellison chuckled darkly , clearly pleased by the response her body was giving him .

Will you call me honey ? In the mirror .

Ellisons hair was sticking to his forehead , drenched in sweat , no more of the usual cold , distant look .

Joycelyn couldnt bring herself to look at the mirror .

She was too ashamed to face the wild expression on her own face .

Youre bullying me ! she complained , but her voice came out broken , laced with a soft moan .

If you dont call me , Ill just have to bully you even more , Ellison whispered , his eyes darkening as he watched the alluring look on her face .

His heart was already starting to race .

It wasnt that he was trying to punish her .

In matters of intimacy , he was usually indifferent .

But when it came to her body , it was like a cat finally catching a mouse he just couldnt get enough .

Honey … Im sorry , Joycelyn gasped , her voice sweet and soft , almost as if it were melting into him .

Ellison knew just how sensitive and delicate she was .

Joycelyn leaned against his shoulder , eyes closed as she sighed softly .

Her legs were too weak to move .

Its not over yet .

Lets go to the bed , he said , loosening his grip on her lip .

Once they reached the bed , Ellison gave her a couple of sips of water before starting again .

Ellison was relentless .

He loved hearing her call him honey .

Joycelyn , coaxed by him , said it over and over , thinking he would finally be satisfied .

But to her surprise , he wanted more than he had in the last two nights combined .

Ellison tried to hold back , but every time she called him honey , it drove him crazy .

His blood raced , and the air around them grew thick with the heat of their passion , lingering long after .

By morning , Joycelyn felt as if her body had been completely drained .

arm .

Im never drinking again .

I wont go to another work event ! If I do , Ill be a dog Joycelyn tried to raise her hand as if to swear off alcohol forever , but she was so tired she could barely lift her 1/3 17:06 de , 11 Feb MO Chapter 26 Ellison came out of the closet , fully dressed , holding the clothes she was supposed to change into .

Next time you drink , it wont be like last night .

Joycelyn If your department wasnt so demanding , we wouldnt be rushing everything .

And I didnt drink on my own someone ser me up ! Joycelyn grumbled , still lying there , fuming , thinking .

It has to be Lindas doing ! Ellison , hearing this , remembered how hed bumped into her by the door last night , her face pale with fear .

A cold glint passed through his eyes .

Who set you up ? After Aurelia left , Linda told me to go serve coffee , Joycelyn replied , explaining the situation honestly .

I see .

Ill have William look into it , Ellison said , his voice turning cold as he pulled out his phone .

Im getting up now , but Im too tired to make breakfast , Joycelyn said , reaching for her clothes .

Just then , she glanced over at Ellison , who was standing by the window , texting on his phone .

Her hand froze mid motion .

Um … She hesitated , wanting him to turn away .

But then she thought better of it and , without saying anything , pulled the blanket around herself and quietly got dressed .

Ellison casually watched the lump under the blanket , a small smile curling his lips as he chuckled softly .

Breakfast is ready .

Do you think you can get out of bed , or should I carry you ? As soon as he finished speaking , Joycelyn threw off the blanket .

Her innocent yet seductive face was still flushed , and she shot him a playful pout .

No need ! I can handle it ! Joycelyn said , her voice filled with determination .

But the moment her feet hit the floor , her legs gave way , and she almost collapsed .

If Ellison hadnt caught her , she would have fallen straight onto the carpet .

The ache and weakness in her body were even more intense than the first time this time it was almost unbearable .

How about taking the day off and resting at home ? Ellison asked , holding her gently in his arms .

His voice was low and affectionate , carrying a hint of concern .

I cant take too many days off , or theyll start talking behind my back , Joycelyn said , pursing her lips , her face tense , She glanced up at him , but the defiance in her eyes quickly faded .

There was a sense of frustration in her , but also an unspoken helplessness .

I wont drink again , and you cant be so rough with me , she mumbled , trying to negotiate .

How have I been rough with you ? Ellison gave her a penetrating look , his eyes dark and intense .

You were so harsh yesterday .

I couldnt handle it , and you still wouldnt stop .

Joycelyn lowered her gaze , her long lashes trembling slightly as she spoke .

Her tongue felt hot with embarrassment .

She thought , It is so shameful to admit ! Ellisons lips curved into a faint smile .

Alright , its my fault .

It is ! Joycelyn muttered in response , though inwardly , she didnt dare really blame him .

Given their positions , she couldnt have the courage to .

Ellison noticed the way she shrank back , careful and tentative .

He could tell she was still a little intimidated by his authority .

He bent down and scooped her up , carrying her toward the bathroom .

Next time , Ill be more gentle , he promised .

17.06 de , 11 Feb M Chapter 26 Okay Joycelyn nodded obediently .

Put me down , though .

Im not used to being carried like this She felt self conscious and awkward in his arms .

worried youll trip and ruin my carpet , Ellison shot back with a teasing remark , though his actions remained Tm just gentlemanly .

Joycelyn couldnt help but think that Ellison probably had his own set of rules when it came to being a husband- responsible , attentive , and meticulous .

But she also knew that beyond their legal bond , there was the undeniable physical chemistry between them .

When it came to love , though , they were both clear headed and rational .

Once they were dressed , they both resumed their usual , composed selves .

If it werent for the disarray on the bed , you might have thought they were a pair of cold , reserved individuals .

Joycelyn reached the bathroom sink and didnt want Ellison waiting on her .

I can manage on my own .

You go ahead and leave , she said , gesturing toward the door .

Alright , Ill just take a look at the project proposals for your department , Ellison replied casually .

Okay , Ill be quick .

Im just going to the restroom .

Joycelyn nodded .

As Ellison stood nearby , engrossed in his phone , Joycelyn noticed how seriously he was focused on his work .

After stepping into the bathroom and closing the door behind her , Joycelyn pulled out her phone .

She scrolled through the group chat , which had over a hundred unread messages .

Several pictures from Lindas assistant showed her in the hospital .

Linda had tagged Ellison in the chat , making a joke that , as his loyal assistant , she had borne the pressure herself to help secure all the joint venture agreements , furthering Ellisons ambitions .

Ellison had responded just a few minutes ago , telling Linda to take the next couple of days to rest , while the rest of the team would handle the work in her absence .
