Chapter 115

The three lads tending to their needs could tell something was off the moment they recognized the newcomer. They were street-smart enough to make themselves scarce before getting tangled up in someone else’s drama.

Sure, they were just doing their job, but there was no need to get dragged into a domestic squabble.

Jason’s expression was stormy as all get-out. Bryce, in a flash, hopped out of the bed and grinned, “Hey bro, what brings you here? You must be beat from work, just here to chill a bit, right? You a regular at this joint? Let me hook you up with a masseuse, I’ll foot the bill. Want a guy or a gal? The dudes have got some serious muscle, but I know you’re not keen on a guy’s touch. I’ll get you a lady-number 11’s a real looker, with long legs, super nice skin, and, man, she’s stacked.”

Bryce was yapping away as if Estrella and Jesse weren’t even in the room, and as if he hadn’t been the one bad-mouthing Jason just moments before, trying to keep him and Estrella apart.

As Bryce went on about getting a hot masseuse, Jason just stood there with his hands in his pockets, giving Bryce the coldest look.

Bryce’s smile was hanging by a thread, looking uglier than a frown. He was sucking up to him already, what more did Jason want?

Estrella, cool as a cucumber, got out of bed, worked a kink out of her neck, and said, “C’mon, Bryce is just looking out for you. He means well, just go with it.”

Jason’s face was like thunder as he shot back, “Estrella, zip it.”

“Alright, alright, I’m shutting up,” Estrella replied, miming zipping her lips.

Jason swallowed hard, and when he looked back at Bryce, the guy went as limp as a wet noodle, whining, “Bro, I was just trying to help my Ella unwind after a hard day’s work, so she can take care of you when she gets home, you know?”

Jason’s eyes narrowed, and Bryce quickly slapped himself across the mouth, “She’s yours, man. Ella’s yours.”

Jason didn’t take kindly to anyone calling Estrella “his,” even if it was Bryce, and even if they were family. But Bryce never seemed to learn. No matter how many times Jason warned him, and set him straight, Bryce acted like Estrella was his to begin with, and Jason had somehow stolen her
