The Prince's Stubborn Mate

Chapter 27- Broken Completely.

I stared at Demetri with my mouth open and my face contorted in an expression of both shock and disbelief.

Mainly because i didn't expect those words to com from his mouth.

"W-what?" I asked in a choked voice

"I'm falling In love with you." He said seriously, reaching out to brush my cheek with his fingers.

My temper flared immediately and I slapped his hand away.

"Why would you lie like that?" I hissed, indignation clear in my voice. "What do you hope to gain by lying to me, huh?"

"I'm not lying," Demetri said and I snapped lounging for him, semi-conscious of the discomfort between my legs.

He moved faster than I did grabbing me before I could hit him.

"Let me go." I seethed "and get out." I growled not wanting to be near him.

"Listen to me." He growled tightening his hold on my upper arms, I was straddling his thighs, his rock hard erection pressed firmly between my thighs, our chests pressed close together, my hand on his arms trying to push him away from me.

"I'm not lying, I have liked you from the first moment I saw you the night of the ball, when you lied to me about your name." He said looking right into my eyes, his voice level, his heartbeat steady, he seems so sincerer.

"Nobody lies to me, ever. You didn't fall at my feet or push up on me and I knew I would have wanted you even if you hadn't been mine, but you didn't want me." Demetri said a sorrowful edge to his tone his eyes clouding over with sadness.

"I still don't want you now." I scoffed and he sighed frustratedly.

"Look Jessabell, I don't know when it happened but I'm falling for you and I'm falling hard and fast, and I don't like it."

"Then break our bond so we can go our separate ways," I said logically.

"Stop asking that of me because i will not do it, I will never let you go." He growled tightening his painful grip on my arms.

"You are hurting me again." I hissed staring into his eyes "you do not know what love is Demetri." I said softly and he released my arms and I crawled off his lap.

"You never will, so don't tell me you're falling in love with me. You can't be falling in love with me and keep hurting me both physically and mentally might I add." I stated adamantly,

"Jessabell it's not like that, I want to be with you as a real couple of mates."

"And you will be, but I will not be enslaved to you because of your so-called love for me." I crawled under the sheets and sat with my back against the headboard of the bed and stared at my prince who is definitely not charming sitting at the end of the bed. "I know what us expected of me as a future Luna, and I will do my duty but loving you is not a criteria and accepting your love is not one either. I don't want your love now and I never will so just leave it at that."

"I refuse to live like that with you Jessabell." He said moving to sit by my hip and taking my hands in his. "I won't do it, I will never survive the future you have painted for us, it's a bleak, boring and loveless future one that will affect our children greatly, and I don't want them to be unhappy."

My mind instantly latched onto the word children and rejected the thought of more than one child with Demetri. I can't do that, if I don't give him a son at the first go it will destroy me because we will have to try until we have a boy.

"I will only give you one child, you will never touch me again after our son is born." I told him pulling away my hands "The only way we will have more than one is if I have twins at the first go."
