Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Ellisons phone rang .

William was calling .

He picked up the call , holding the phone to his ear , Without turning on speakerphone , Joycelyn clearly heard the update from the other end .

Ruby wasnt in danger of dying , but her face was severely disfigured , and the situation wasnt looking good .

Joycelyn pouted , clearly unimpressed .

Why would she call him this late ? Looks like their relationship isnt as bad as it seemed .

A sudden feeling of uncase settled in her chest .

She felt her mouth go dry and reached for a white bottle sitting on Ellisons desk .

Without thinking , she twisted off the cap and took a swig .

After a sip of water , she looked at him , still trying to hold her ground .

Okay , got it , Ellison replied in a low voice .

Joycelyn , a bit jealous , moved quickly too quickly for Ellison to stop her before it was too late .

She nearly downed the whole thing in one go .

As the liquid slid down her throat , she immediately regretted it .

It wasnt water but alcohol .

Joycelyn quickly stopped herself , coughing twice , then held up the bottle to examine it .

The text was in some foreign language , but it certainly smelled like alcohol .

Joycelyn asked , Is this alcohol ? I just grabbed whatever was handy , Ellison said , as if it were no big deal .

Just moments ago , he had exuded an air of seriousness , but now all his attention was drawn to Joycelyns actions .

He snatched the sleek bottle from her hand .

Drinking during your period ? What are you thinking ? Ellison said .

Ah , alcohol … Oh my … Joycelyn , who had been so energetic just a moment ago , suddenly felt her body go Her head started to swim , and a rosy flush crept up her cheeks .

The alcohol hit her like a ton of bricks .

Joycelyn said , Why are you still holding me ? Werent you supposed to be with your beauty ? She let out an accidental burp , not even realizing how bitter her words sounded .

What beauty ? Ellison asked .

Ellisons eyes glinted at the change in her tone soft , yet tinged with irritation .

1/4 weak .

Joycelyn said , Isk , you forgot about her right after hanging up your phone ? Joycelyn felt dizzy , her gaze faltering as she briefly met Ellisons eyes before quickly looking away , He immediately reached out to steady her before she could collapse onto the desk .

But she pulled her hand away angrily .

Dont touch me .

Ellisons gaze darkened , and with a firm grip , he held her soft hand .

He said , Stop pretending .

Youre not fooling me .

Joycelyn said , Fooling you ? I think you have poor eyesight .

Ive always been cute She grinned sheepishly , then gave him an exaggeratedly cute look .

One drink , and she was already out of her mind .

Ellison chuckled softly , his deep voice a low rumble that made Joycelyn smile foolishly in return .

I heard you had a class reunion today .

A lot of people you had a crush on , huh ? Not going to expzin ? Since she wasnt talking , he decided to ask .

Ellisons previously gentle and affectionate eyes narrowed , his brow furrowed , now radiating an aura of interrogation Joycelyn stared at him blankly , offering no answer .

Whats with that look ? Here , let me give you something to eat , she said , extending her tiny arm toward him .

Ellisons gaze darkened .

He eyed the delicate white arm before opening his mouth to nibble at it Ah , are you a dog ? Why are you biting me ? Joycelyn blinked , feeling confused , though Ellison hadnt bitten her too hard.

Youre asking for it .

Ellisons voice was deep as he scolded her .

You and Ms.

Wilson are classmates , right ? Shes in trouble , and youre staying up late to check on her .

What about you ? Joycelyn pouted in annoyance , clearly getting worked up .

She placed her arm on Ellisons home clothes and rubbed it , looking disgusted .

She had the audacity to treat the presidents high quality homewear like a rag .

Ive never been bitten before .

Joycelyn pouted , her face flushed , clearly starting to relax a little too much .

So , Im your first bite , huh ? Ellison smirked , his voice teasing but calm despite her casual disregard for him .

Without thinking , Joycelyn leaped onto him like a little lion , landing directly in his arms .

Caught off guard , Ellison stumbled back .

Joycelyn , undeterred , bit down on his neck , sharp and unrelenting .

2/4 12:27 Thu , 13 Feb Chapter 75 Ellison barely managed to catch her in time , wrapping an arm around her waist to prevent her from falling .

After biting him , Joycelyn rested against him , her bright eyes meeting his .

Her hair slipped across his neck , sending a shiver down his spine .

Ellison tightened his grip slightly , his breath quickening .

Guess youre blaming me now .

Ellison rubbed his sore neck .

Joycelyn , youve had a drink , and now youre feeling unreasonable , huh ? Ellison couldnt help but notice that , after just one drink , she had let loose all her hidden mischievousness and started causing trouble .

Her unruly , somewhat bratty attitude was oddly endearing .

Not being reasonable ? Ellison reached out to pinch her flushed cheek .

Yeah , not being reasonable .

What are you going to do about it ? Her words were laced with the scent of fruity alcohol .

Ellison said , Are you jealous ? Nope .

Im just drunk , Joycelyn denied it , clearly not willing to admit to her feelings .

Ugh , my head hurts so much , Joycelyn groaned .

The alcohol had given her a pounding headache, and she felt miserable .

Are you starting your act now ? Ellison raised an eyebrow as he watched her exaggerated performance .

His large hand gently rested on her soft waist .

His touch said it all .

Joycelyn almost burst out laughing .

You know what I admire most about you ? she said , wrapping her arms around his neck and gently swaying .

Her sweet , soft voice was like candy , lingering on his mind long after the words were spoken .

Ellison leaned into her touch , pulling her closer to him , his voice hoarse as he asked , What ? What I admire most is how shameless you are .

You look like an innocent man , but underneath that suit is a real rogue .

Ellisons eyes narrowed dangerously .

She hadnt complimented him , but she sure had spoken the truth .

Seems like you really know me .

Well , I kind of like it … Joycelyn murmured , leaning in closer .

Her warm breath brushed against his chin , sending a shiver through him .

Mm ? Ellison softened , his eyes glowing with affection .

He lowered his gaze to the drunken woman in his arms and whispered , Say that again .

I want to hear it .

As she leaned in , her lips grazed his chin , but when Ellison tried to kiss her , she pulled away .

It was all so teasing .
