Chapter 26

Jason cast an indifferent glance at her, a look that seemed to suggest she was

overstepping her bounds.

“You cooking for me?” Estrella scoffed. “Don’t go chopping off your fingers now. I'd hate to have to rush you to

the ER.”

Jason had never done so much as set a table, so what could he possibly whip up in the kitchen? Besides, Jason

was way out of her league with his high and mighty attitude. If he really felt guilty and wanted to make it up to

her, well, having a child together would settle the score.

Jason threw her a sudden side-eye, prompting Estrella to quickly backtrack, “Alright, alright, I'll take your

generous offer. I'm off to take a shower. | haven't eaten since lunch. either, so make it a hearty one with some

meat, will you?” With her instructions laid out, Estrella yawned her way upstairs.

In the kitchen, Jason set his phone to a video and started rummaging through the fridge for ingredients.

Recalling a visit to the Dorvold family home, Autumn had mentioned Estrella’s delicate stomach and the

importance of her eating regularly. Jason hadn’t commented at the time, but Autumn’s words had resonated

deep within him.

Now, in the dead of night, he opted for simplicity and settled on making spaghetti-the intricacies of gourmet

cooking were beyond him at this hour.

He sliced up sroast beef, threw in a bit of onion and garlic, and considered adding schili oil for a kick.

But then, remembering Estrella’s palate, he reluctantly put the

bottle back.

Estrella descended the stairs at spoint, now dressed in a pale pink nightgown with a large bow headband,

her presence seemingly ethereal. Her arms crossed, she leaned casually against the doorframe, the hint of a

smile playing on her lips.

As Jason sprinkled onions into the pot, he turned to get a plate and caught Estrella watching him silently from

the doorway. His face darkened. “Could you make snoise next time?”

Her smile widening, Estrella sauntered over, her curls bouncing with each step. She was enchanting tonight.

Side by side with Jason, she glanced at the beef spaghetti that turned out quite alright and playfully bumped him

with her hip. “Can | ask you something?”

Jason gave her a look but kept ladling out the spaghetti, ignoring her.

Her grin grew as she probed, “Why didn’t you answer the question Jesse asked you

Jason served the spaghetti onto the plate without acknowledging her.

Estrella chuckled, “You can’t possibly still be a virgin, right? Or maybe | should check for myself.”

Jason's face lined with exasperation, “Even if there were such a bargain, it wouldn't be with

you.”

“You don’t want to waste a good opportunity on a stranger when you could have me. Besides, who could match

my technique? Everyone needs a skilled teacher for their first time.”

The more Estrella spoke, the darker Jason’s expression became. “Estrella, are you sure you still want to have my

kid?”

Her words suggested she was quite experienced with men, though in truth, she was a

novice in matters of love.

“Of course, | do,” Estrella replied nonchalantly. | think about it all the time.”

“Your family cooks spaghetti with that kind of stuff?” Jason shot her a questioning look, baffled by her

outrageousness.

“All the time, every meal.” Estrella quipped.

“Stop your nonsense. Just finish this and go to bed.”

Tasting the spaghetti Jason had prepared, she complimented, “Not bad for a rookie. Guess smart folks like you

are good at everything, including making babies.”

Jason could only shake his head at her relentless implications. He thought she was serious about wanting to split

up.

Seeing that he wasn’t engaging, Estrella switched to a more serious tone, “I need to talk to you about something

important.”

“Go ahead.”

“Bring Bryce back. He's going stir-crazy over there.”

our cousin, for heaven's sake. Are you really going to keep pushing him to the edge? He's been sick as a dog

lately.”

“What's the use of bringing him back? To encourage you to leave me?”

Jason's retort caught Estrella off guard, and she paused momentarily. Regaining her composure, she said

confidently, “So you don’t want a divorce. You should've just said so. Have a kid, and we won't be able to

separate anyway.” Her words seemed to suggest that it was Jason who would be carrying the child.

Jason replied coolly, “Forget about it.”

Estrella said, “I'm serious, though. Let Bryce cback, or your uncle won't let you off the hook if something

happens to him.”

No sooner had her words fallen silent than Jason, with a swift move, scooped her up into his arms. Estrella’s back

landed softly-almost scandalously so-on the plush mattress, sending her heartbeat into a rapid frenzy.

Before she could wrap her arms around him, Jason was already pinning her down, interlocking their fingers,

holding her close against his chest.

He wanted her-badly.

The desire was palpable, especially tonight, after seeing her exchange laughs and stories. with Korey. The urge

to have her beneath him, moaning, begging for mercy, was overwhelming, despite knowing her intentions

weren't exactly pure.
