Chapter 0908

"Daphne, I am not asking you to be my mistress!" Jesse bites out, his teeth clenching.

"Did you come here with romantic intent?" she asks, prim and formal. "Desiring to continue, in some way, our relationship?"

"Yes," he says, working hard to reel his temper back in, ashamed at himself for losing it even for a moment. "I came to tell you that I love -"

"And do you still have a mate? With whom you have a relationship?"

He pauses, seeing the trap but knowing that she's got the truth on her side. "Yes," he says, short and cold.

"And you have no intention of rejecting that mate? Or she of you?"

Jesse takes a deep, long breath. "No, I have no intention of rejecting her."

"Then what else am I to conclude, Jesse,” she says, low and angry, leaning forward towards him. "But that you're asking me to be your mistress. So that you keep your mate as the priority in your life, but have me too? A bit on the side?"

He stares at her for a long moment in shock and then groans, trying to lay back on the bed but miscalculating the distance and banging his head against the wall, covering his face with his hands. Because she's right.
