Chapter 160

Estrella was taken aback, rolling her eyes as she said, “Jason, let go of my hand, will ya?”

Jason peeled off his shirt, revealing a chest and abs that made Estrella’s mouth go dry. When her gaze inevitably drifted southward, she had to swallow hard again. Not only was his face a knockout, but his body was sculpted to perfection, and even his…

Estrella’s gaze glazed over, and Jason, pinching her chin, asked teasingly, “What’re you staring at, huh?”

Estrella shot back with a hint of sass, “I’ll look wherever I damn well please.” After all, there wasn’t an inch of him she hadn’t seen.

With that, he cast aside his trousers and pulled Estrella into an embrace, whispering seductively in her ear, “Let’s spice things up tonight.”

Jason didn’t wait for a response before blindfolding her with a piece of lacy lingerie.

Estrella reminded him, “Take it easy, Jason. There might be a bun in the oven, you know.”

“When have I ever been anything but gentle with you?” he retorted, leaning in to kiss her lips.

After a playful teasing in the bedroom, Jason scooped up Estrella and carried her to the bathroom for a luxurious bath.

On the other end, Bryce was all fired up, “Estrella, I forgot to tell you at the karaoke bar, we tracked down that white Maserati.”

At the mention of the Maserati, Estrella tensed up.

Bryce continued, “The owner’s a gal named Rebecca, 24 years old.”

Estrella inquired, “Any connection to the Ledford family?”
