Chapter 61
Estrella lazily said, “After that last case closed, he took me out for dinner. Had his secretary by his side, so it wasn’t exactly a private affair.”
Jason’s hands pressed firmly along her spine, don’t care if his secretary was there or not. Just keep your distance from him.”
As he spoke, Jason deliberately intensified his pressure.
“Ouch, take it easy, Jason,” Estrella protested, squirming under his touch. “I’ll keep my distance, sure, but it depends on how well you treat me tonight. If you make tonight worthwhile, I’m all yours from now on; but if not, I can’t promise my heart won’t wander.”
Thwack! As soon as Estrella finished her sentence, another resounding slap landed on her
backside.
“Go easy,” she reminded him. Without looking, she knew there would be the imprint of his fingers.
After their brief exchange, silence fell again. Jason’s hands moved lower, to the small of her back, prompting Estrella to remind him with closed eyes, “Lower, a bit lower.”
Jason glanced up at her and continued his descent.
“A bit lower,” she insisted again.
Jason increased the pressure of his hands and looked at her face, suspecting that Estrella was doing it on purpose. After kneading her for a moment, his fingers trailed along the edge of her panties.
The next second, Estrella tensed up, and Jason, observing her reaction, leaned in close to her ear, “Should I go lower? Do you want me to enter?”
She had only meant to tease him a little, knowing that Jason tended to get all bashful whenever she got shameless. She hadn’t expected him to turn the tables on her this time. Estrella opened her eyes, feigning composure as if nothing had happened, but Jason. added, “Estrella, your face is as red as a beetroot.”
With that, his hand moved decisively.
Estrella caught her breath, grabbing his hand, “Jason, you damn…”
He didn’t pull away, a smirk playing on his lips, “I’m just getting started with the foreplay.”
She had thought he was clueless, but he turned out to be quite the expert. As Estrella pondered how to regain the upper hand, Jason cut to the chase with a kiss.
Half an hour later, Jason casually wiped his fingers with a tissue from the nightstand and tossed it aside before shrugging off his pajama top, “You should be satisfied with the foreplay.” He then recalled, “Wasn’t it you who said if I came home early we could
go
at it
11:29)
till dawn?”
On the bed, Estrella lay in disarray, her underwear still on but looking thoroughly ravished.
Jason was such a jerk.
Estrella had resisted, but it was only when Jason got serious that she realized the stark disparity in strength between men and women-something she had underestimated before. Turned out he was just playing with her before.
Jason flung his pajama top to the floor, and Estrella quickly wrapped herself tightly in the thin quilt, “I’m spent for today. Let’s continue tomorrow.”
Jason’s expression darkened, “So you’re done after your fun?” He leaned down, pinching
her chin.
Estrella held the quilt tight, “I said tomorrow, and it will be tomorrow.”
The foreplay had left Estrella a bit intimidated, and she could tell Jason was
still irritated about her meal with Korey. He was definitely messing with her. So, of course, she gave in, tired as she was.
Jason chuckled in disbelief, still holding her chin, “Estrella, are you playing me?”
Holding onto the quilt, she claimed, “I think your nail might have scratched me. Let me rest
a bit.”
At the mention of a scratch, Jason’s concern flared, tugging at the quilt, “Let it go, and let
me see.”
Instead of loosening her grip, Estrella wrapped herself even tighter, “No need to look. I know my own body. I’ll make it up to you tomorrow, with interest.”
Jason stood bare-chested, staring at Estrella for a moment before kicking her lightly, “Dammit, Estrella, you’re playing me for the foreplay, aren’t you?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Estrella, still cocooned in the quilt, couldn’t bother to open her eyes. Seriously? Playing him for the foreplay?
Their recent argument, along with the increased frequency of their fights, seemed to have shaken her resolve. Was she still sure she wanted children? And who knew what tomorrow would bring? Perhaps he’d wake up to find several contraceptive pills handed. to him.
“Estrella!” Jason’s voice resounded above her.
Estrella took a deep breath, playing asleep convincingly.
Jason huffed, irritation flashing across his face. He bent down to pick up the discarded robe, slipping it back over his head as he spat, Estrella, don’t try this trick again. Also, don’t ever mention wanting kids again.”
11:30
Estrella remained motionless, eyes still closed. When she felt like having children, she would bring it up again.
And besides, he still had his hands. That time in the old house, he had ingested a dose of aphrodisiacs and had relieved himself in the bathroom without even touching her. This time, he could do the same!
She usually didn’t hold grudges, but when she did, she was sure to seek revenge.
The next morning, Estrella woke up to find Jason had already left, as usual. Heading downstairs for breakfast, Marie whispered, “Ms. Estrella, did you and Mr. Jason fight. again last night? He seemed quite upset when he left this morning, and didn’t even touch his breakfast.”
Estrella replied with airy nonchalance, “I just swindled him a bit.”
The ways of the young were beyond Marie’s understanding.
Jason’s foreplay had ensured Estrella slept soundly throughout the night, not even a dream to disturb her rest. It made her see him in a new light.
She had expected him to be a bore, to charge ahead in bed without a thought for her pleasure, but he was surprisingly skillful, far exceeding her expectations. But whether he would live up to the test when it came to the real deal remained to be seen.
Upon seeing Estrella’s radiant expression, Marie said, “Ms. Estrella, you seem in quite a good mood today.”
Estrella responded with a simple, “Not bad.”
Not long after Estrella had finished her breakfast and arrived at the law firm, the director buzzed with excitement as he called out to her, “Estrella, we’ve got a few new cases at the firm, and the clients mentioned they’d prefer you to be their lawyer. Come and discuss the details when you’re ready.”
“Sure thing,” Estrella replied, already suspecting that Korey had something to do with this.
She’d just set her bag down on her desk and was about to head to the director’s office when another colleague suddenly stood up from taking a call and said, “Estrella, we got a ring from Nelson International. They need you to swing by ASAP for some legal matters.”
Talk about timing.
The director, overhearing the conversation, reluctantly said, “Estrella, you’d better head over to Nelson International first, then. We can chat about these new cases once you’re
back.”
Estrella picked up her bag again, “Alright, I’ll check out the situation at Nelson International first.”
11:30
As she stepped out of the building, she saw Jason’s sleek black Maybach parked right below the law firm.
Drew, seeing Estrella descend the stairs, hurriedly got out and opened the car door, greeting her with a “Ms. Estrella.”
Drew was waiting right there, and Estrella didn’t need to ask to know what Jason was up to. Jason was well aware that the firm had taken on new cases and he was trying to keep her from getting entangled with Korey.
“Seems like there are eyes
Once the car was rolling, Estrella let out a soft chuckle, everywhere, and the news travels fast.” She hadn’t even had a chance to look into the cases before Jason had someone waiting for her downstairs.
Drew offered a sheepish smile, “Ms. Estrella, I’m not quite sure what you mean.”
Estrella shot back, “Keep playing dumb.”
Drew maintained his goofy smile, seemingly unfazed.

It wasn’t until Estrella dropped the subject that Drew finally spoke up, “Ms. Estrella, actually, regarding the Digital Springs project, the government offcials have approached Nelson International.”
At the mention of this, Estrella turned to face him, her interest clearly piqued by the topic.
