Chapter 27

Estrella’s mouth was slightly open, exhaling, and her hands were caught and struggling slightly, as Jason’s kiss came overwhelming.

“Mmm…”

Jason’s kiss was intense and rough, like a long-caged beast released. Estrella couldn’t help but moan under the fervor.

Her sultry voice edged with defiance. Then, Jason whispered against her earlobe, “Flirting with other guys, Estrella? Forget about it, not in this lifetime.”

Estrella thought to herself,” Just wait until I have his baby, then we’ll see who’s in control.”

Still, her arms wrapped around Jason’s neck, with a teasing spark in her eyes, “Then you better make sure you can keep me satisfied.”

Her words had barely left her lips when Jason’s mouth was on hers again, and the sound of fabric tearing followed…

Jason’s familiar scent, laced with the faint aroma of alcohol, snapped her back to reality. Jason had been drinking tonight, and not just a little.

Tonight was not the night. She couldn’t risk getting pregnant now.

Estrella pushed at Jason with sudden urgency, “Jason, not tonight.”

Jason’s grip tightened on her waist, “What’s the problem? Got your period again?”

“You’re drunk, and it’s not good for the pregnancy,” she insisted..

Jason’s temper flared, “You think I’m some kind of baby-making machine?”

Estrella grabbed a blanket and wrapped herself within it, “Maybe some other time. I’m tired. tonight.”

She knew who she was, and Jason did too – she wouldn’t involve herself in something without a clear benefit.

Estrella played coy, eliciting a laugh tinged with exasperation from Jason, “Estrella, the porn’s already started, clothes are off, and now you’re tired? No matter how exhausted you claim to be, we’re settling this tonight.”

As he reached for the blanket, Estrella clung to it desperately, “Come home early tomorrow, and I’ll let you do this until dawn.” She even tucked the blanket tighter beneath her to secure it.

a playful kick her way, but as Estrella nearly tumbled off the bed, his reflexes kicked in, and he caught her.
