The Last Embrace 65 Wanna Bet?

"Happy?" he asked her softly.

Jessy ignored his gentle voice.

"Don't act lovey-dovey with me!" she barked at him.

"Why not? I am your husband to be. We were supposed to spend some sweet romantic quality times together before and after the wedding."

Jess' eyes were now sending daggers to his eyes.

The Prince just shook his head not liking her blatant disgust of his mere presence and nearness.

"By the way, how good is the performance of my brother in bed?" he licked his lips while watching her face. His eyes instantly darken with pa.s.sion.

"None of your business!"

"Tell me. I'm sure I am a skilled and better lover than him," he grinned maliciously.

"You're worst!" she retorted.

"You like a challenge?" he asked.

"What challenge are you talking about?" she rolled her eyes.

"Wanna bet? I can make your panties drop within five minutes!" he kept teasing her. "But I won't do it here, my skill and expertise only work in the dark. Come with me in my room tonight, I can give you more than ten orga*sm within thirty minutes, that is guaranteed!" he drawled thickly, urgently, as if he was already undressing her body in his mind.

She blushed crimson red.

Prince Zain chuckled at her reaction.

"Nice to know that I can make you blush!" he whispered.

He continues grinning at her expense. He got that amusing twisted smile plastered on his face.

Jessy stared at the handsome face of the Prince. A s.e.xual predator lurks in that charming face of his. He got that striking hunky appeal that can enamor any woman.

She was thinking of Hannah. That must be the reason why the poor girl falls for the Prince blindly, too bad he was just using her to satisfy his s.e.xual needs. Poor Hannah!

Prince Zain glanced at her.

"You like what you see-?" he asked knowing she was perusing his face. He scanned her beautiful face. "My face and my dong down there is yours too! All you need to do is ask for it and it shall be given to you." He continued mocking her.

Jessy shook her head.

"You shouldn't play with Hannah's emotion and her feelings for you!" She tried to stir his attention towards much safer and more important topic.

He just shrugged his shoulders.

"Hannah understood very well that you are the only one I love, and you are the one destined for me. I wanted you to become the mother of my children. I already made sure she understand that what happened between her and me is purely physical and she should not ask and expect for more. She's fine with the arrangement though," he said.

Jessy sighed.

"When will you stop touching her?" she asked.

Prince Zain's face exhibited a serious look.

"Right now if you wanted me to. As long you start warming up to me, I will never touch her again," he whispered softly.

Jessy swallowed her own saliva that was blocking her throat.

"You're asking for too much, something that I can't give you. I only love you brother, and I love him for life. There will be no other guy who can occupy the s.p.a.ce in my heart. It's entirely reserved for him," said Jessy solemnly.

Prince Zain stared back hard at her.

"Please don't say that I never back out from any challenge that comes my way. And you are a special challenge that I'm willing to spend and put my whole effort to. Because you're worth it!"

Afterward, he smiled sadly.

".....I'm just sad that you meet my brother first. If I've been the one you meet first, it should have been me that is occupying your heart right now," he added in a wistful tone.

The sadness in his eyes is growing in leaps and bounds.

Jessy refused to be drawn to his acting and pretensions. But why is it that she suddenly took pity on him...somehow? She doesn't like the slightest idea of warming up to him.

"You want to know how many children I want to have with you?" he asked out of the blue.

Jessy almost laughed with his question, dream on b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

"I want us to have twelve children," he said in a serious manner.

Jessy nearly choked. She used to say that to Adam when he was still alive. She suddenly felt sad and lonely.

Prince Zain studied her sad face.

"Why you're sad?" he asked in a gentle manner.

"I just remembered that Adam wants to have two children and I want to have twelve children. Unfortunately, we never have a chance to make any," she got misty-eyed.

Zain's face lighted up.

"Don't be sad, Jess. I can still give you twelve children, in fact, we are a perfect match! After the wedding we can start making babies and repopulate the world with our vampire crossbreed descendants!" he exclaimed in a joyous tone. He felt that for the first time they have a common ground to begin with.

Unfortunately, his enthusiasm died on his throat because his words failed to cheer up Jess' already somber mood. She even scowled at him.

Prince Zain sighed deeply. "What am gonna do with you, Jessy?"

Jessy ignored his plea and his puppy dog eyes.

"Okay fine. I will wait patiently until you start opening your heart to me. I will wait for a hundred or even a thousand years for your heart to fall in love again."

Jessy stared at him. "Don't wait, it will never happen not in this lifetime!"

Prince Zain's face instantly darkened.

"What is it that you fall madly in love with my brother? That even if he was already dead, you continue loving him. Your devotion is totally out of this world. What can a dead lover do compare to an alive person like me? I can make you happy in so many ways that you only need to ask and I will obey and grant you everything you wish for. I am much a better person compared to him in so many ways. Your love for him is utter madness! I can't even begin to fathom how crazy you are for loving a dead person!" he said in an exasperated voice.

Jessy was stunned with the Prince's explosive ranting.

Should she let go of Adam because he was already dead? That doesn't feel right. She could never betray him. If the whole world thinks that she's crazy because she won't let go of Adam's memories, she doesn't give a d.a.m.n! She will keep holding on to Adam and to their undying love and promises to each other.

"I love Adam very much. We shared a lot of things together when he was still alive, we grow up together and breath the same air. You will never understand that kind of bond between me and him," she declared in a sad voice.

"I never said that you forget him. What am asking for, is for you to give me a chance to love you. Am not even competing with my dead brother for G.o.d's sake! All I need is a chance to enter your heart, to show you that I'm also deserving of your love," he said in a grave but soft rejected tone. He suddenly felt tired, as if talking and opening his heart and soul to her finally took a toll on him.

He finally rose to his feet, showing a slumped shoulder as a sign of mental and emotional exhaustion.

"Thank you for your company, Jess. See you tomorrow."

Jessy watched him walked away from her and vanished outside the entrance of the dome. Jessy felt emotionally drained as well.

She was sandwiched between a dead lover's memories and a persistent perverted suitor soon to be her husband.

Why her life became so complicated?

She wished life could be simpler once again.

She wished she's back in the mansion...

She wished so badly that Adam is alive!
