Chapter 58

Joycelyn noticed that Ellison hadn’t moved and hadn’t eaten the cake she’d offered him. Suddenly, she felt like she had

crossed a line.

Her face froze for a moment, and she immediately pulled her hand back, lowering her head to eat the cake off the spoon herself.

Joycelyn felt awkward and embarrassed inside.

Why did I do something so intimate? I was just asking for trouble, she thought.

Determined not to look back at Ellison, she focused on eating the cake, trying to avoid any further awkwardness.

Ellison, leaning on the sofa with one hand, had moved to the carpet.

Joycelyn, recognizing the moment, shifted over to make room for him.

“Is it good?” Ellison asked, noticing her flushed face as she ate the cake intently.

“It’s quite good. Let me get you a clean spoon.” Joycelyn, in her haste, hadn’t noticed a bit of cream on her lips.

Ellison caught her hand as she reached for the spoon, gently pulling her toward him.

“Aren’t you supposed to feed me? Hmm?” His voice was low and raspy, his gaze darkening.

Joycelyn blinked, her head slightly lowering as she whispered, “I’m afraid you’ll dislike me feeding you something I’ve eaten.”

Ellison’s eyes gleamed for a moment, his tone rich with mystery, “Have I ever had too little from you?”

Without waiting for an answer, Ellisòn smiled faintly and lowered his head, capturing her lips. He took the cream from her lips with a soft kiss.

For what felt like an eternity, Joycelyn was lost in the sensation, her body floating as if on a cloud.

His kiss was unrestrained, but not harsh, and Joycelyn felt as if she were drifting in the air, weightless.

The soft, wet sounds echoed in her ears as her heartbeat raced wildly.

Neither of them closed their eyes, and Joycelyn’s heart raced.

She could see nothing but his tender, deep eyes.
