Chapter 136

Even though Estrella wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box, she wasn’t that dim either.

Jason placed his hand on Estrella’s shoulder, turning her to face him. “Estrella, cut the

act.”

Estrella turned away from him again, too irritated to even look at him, let alone argue back.

What a piece of work!

If she actually wrote that promise, she’d be the fool.

Seeing that Estrella ignored him after he spoke, Jason’s gaze lingered on her before he stood up from the bed and switched on the main light. “Estrella, you sure you won’t write this pledge?” he asked.

The bright light stung her eyes. She propped herself up in bed and sat up, exasperated. “Jason, are you out of your mind? Who the hell writes such a promise in the middle of the night? And come on, are you a toddler? Does that piece of paper actually mean anything?”

Jason looked down at her without responding to her rant, simply tugging at the sash of his robe. “Sure you won’t write it?”

Estrella’s eyes trailed down to his toned waist and further up to his abs and pecs… Feeling a dangerous sensation creeping up on her, she swallowed hard and then clutched the sheets tighter. “What are you trying to do?” They had just finished a marathon sex.

Jason flexed his neck, calmly saying, “Maybe I wasn’t enthusiastic enough before and didn’t make you comfortable enough to decide to stay with me. So, it seems necessary to turn up the heat again.”

Estrella felt a tingling on her scalp. She wasn’t exaggerating-her legs were jelly, and she had no strength left. If Jason went for another few rounds, she was sure she wouldn’t be able to get out of bed the next morning.

Their eyes met, Jason cleared his throat, and Estrella scrambled out of bed. “I’ll write. I’ll write it for you.”
