Romans & histoires Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Ellison said, each word heavy like a final verdict. "Two years ago, you were the one who planned the whole thing. You got those bad guys to kidnap Lily, then you played the hero by taking her place as the hostage. "You kept lying, saying you were scared of other men because of what happened, but you were really just trying to make me and Lily fight. "And because of you, I put off the wedding again and again..." Ellison's voice grew more and more filled with pain as he spoke. He could not believe how I had struggled through sickness alone, waiting for a wedding day that would never come, until my heart was so broken I had to leave.

Elise panted. Without a word, Lucas tightened his grip on her hips and spilled himself inside her. Panic flickered across Elise’s face. “You didn’t wear a condom?” "Don’t worry, you won’t get pregnant, my love," he smirked. Of course, she thought bitterly. All the women here were forced to take birth control. Condom or not, it made no difference. Lucas was the one who made the rules, and she had no say.

Josie felt it was disgusting, but she didn't show it. Elyse smiled, "Jocelyn, you and Josie are both designers at Prosperity Jewelry, so you must know each other well!" Jocelyn glanced at Josie, who was smiling, and replied, "Kind of!" Elyse was confused. She frowned, "Jocelyn, why don't you look happy? I heard from Josie that she and Skyler have known each other for years. If they know each other so well, don't you know Josie well?"

I loved her stubbornness. It was slowly breaking me though knowing that I couldn’t give her what she needed, what was expected of her. Her father wanted her to meet her mate and then expected her to go on and reproduce, making little wolf cubs to join the pack. This was physically impossible for us to do. Vampires and werewolves, not that it had ever been attempted, couldn’t reproduce together. I was beginning to simply hate our bond, I could never hate Isabella but why would the moon goddess do this to us?

“That’s the problem. I don’t even know. I’ve spent years hating him, Jess. Blaming him for everything. But when he kissed me… it didn’t feel like hate.” Jess gave her a sympathetic look. “Lo… maybe it’s time to stop looking at who he used to be and figure out who he is now.” Eloise sighed, pulling her knees up to her chest. “It’s not that simple. My mom and Alessandro are getting married. This thing between Dino and me... it’s not just messy, it’s… forbidden.” Jess smirked a little. “Since when do you care about rules?” That pulled a reluctant laugh out of Eloise. “This feels like a rule I should care about.”

"Thanks babe." "What bothers you, my love?" I asked softly, injecting so much affection into my words. "I—Nothing." He gazed intently at the album again. I followed his line of sight and bitterness churned in my guts. Isabelle. "Why do you worry over her? She's not worth your time, Jay." I almost spat the words. "Easy for you to say." He shrugged my hands off, rising from the seat. He spinned to face me. "She was my wife, Lila. For four years. Four whole years. How am I supposed to pretend that she didn't exist all of a sudden?" His voice cracked for a bit.

Ellison sipped her champagne. "I'm a practical woman, Rainer. If total monogamy is what's stopping you, then I can be reasonable about certain rules." My mouth tasted like ash and I pushed my plate away from me. "I don't understand you," I told Ellison. "What's the big mystery?" she asked with an arched eyebrow. "We make a perfect match. Our families will be united and we'll leave behind a legacy that will last for centuries. The little details shouldn't get in the way of that."

But she was aware that he was trying to talk to her to amplify the pleasure he was getting. Elly took a deep breath, furrowed her brows. Her voice was determined, not trembling at all: "You can take pleasure from my feelings, Caleb!" she said. Her eyes were challenging him. "When the ancient alpha tears you to pieces, I'll take great pleasure too." Caleb's laughter widened even more, his voice shrill and annoying. "I'm so scared, little guardian." The deep anger in Elly's eyes had awakened. This man was also the reason she and Joe were kept apart! Years ago, that medallion incident... Using Joe... Everything was because of this man.

"Long enough." A pause. "Not long enough." Isabella understood that answer. Perfectly. Her gaze drifted toward the hallway. Toward where Damon and Luca had disappeared earlier. Then she smiled sadly. "They love each other." Mira nearly choked. Immediately. Isabella blinked. "What?" "Nothing." "That wasn't nothing." Mira groaned. Because apparently even after fifteen years of imprisonment Isabella remained observant. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. "They're complicated." Isabella laughed softly. The sound surprised both of them.

Those cunning eyes kept scanning among us. "Jocelyn, do you think that the shocking things you and Byron Chandler did together can be covered up?" "How can you face Helen Keller’s longstanding loyalty to you? You stole her husband and collaborated with your lover to plot for wealth and harm lives. Did you really think you can escape the justice system by silencing people with murder? You are wrong!" Jocelyn's face was now completely devoid of color.
