30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 153

With her back to Jason, Estrella didn’t open her eyes or acknowledge him.

Seeing this, Jason set aside the book he was reading, yanked the comforter off Estrella, and in a swift move, he had her wrapped up in his arms. “Estrella, what’s this all about, huh? You get what you want and then you just turn cold? Going to Bryce instead of asking for my help, and you think you’ve got the high ground?”

Even though he was being moody just now, couldn’t she have tried to be nice to him a bit more? He would have backed down if she had just soothed him a bit more. He was sure of it.

Jason’s voice was tinged with jealousy as he challenged her, but Estrella found it amusing. With a quick maneuver, she had him pinned down instead, her fingers interlacing with his. Jason tensed up, an involuntary swallow betraying his anticipation as he opened his legs to let her settle on top of him.

A smile played on Estrella’s lips as she leaned down to kiss him. When things started getting heated, Estrella softly reminded him, “Be gentle, okay?”

Jason chuckled. “Scared? Weren’t you the one who used to worry about not getting enough?”

“That’s not true. Jason, be careful, please.”

He was already gentle by nature, and at her reminder, Jason became even slower.

Afterwards, as Estrella lay exhausted in his arms, Jason pulled her close. “Estrella, from now on, no matter what, I want to be the first person you turn to.”

Jason was a bit bothered, and admittedly a tad envious, of the close bond Estrella had maintained with Bryce, despite the fact that Bryce was his cousin.
