Bedding My Vampire Mate

At that moment, Joanna's eyes widened and her legs went weak.

[Did my horny side manifest while I was asleep?]

Joanna was in shock as she stared into space. Staring his displeased expression it dawned on Joanna that there was something she missed.

[I wasn't drunk last night so how could I have taken advantage of him and not recall what happened?]

Joanna's once surprised expression soon changed to that of suspicion.

"Tell the truth, you are making up stories to tease me right?" Joanna demanded, her doubtful glares not shifting from his face.

Instead of answering her question he let go of her hand and walked to the bed. "I am a well-disciplined man of great self-control but I was brutally taken advantage of by a woman," He lamented making sure to sniff at the end of his sentence.

"What will you have me do if my chances of getting married to a good wife are jeopardised because of this scandal…,"

"Hey, Kay, stop spouting nonsense and quit with the pretence," Joanna scolded as she ran to his side.

With Amos' mind made up to tease her, no amount of scolding from her could make him change his mind.

When it reached the time to freshen up they had to make use of the river. They took turns taking their bath.

Just like they did when showering Amos and Joanna also took turns dressing up after they returned to the hut.

Joanna was reluctant to leave when the time for them to go back to their normal lives reached.

"Let's make sure to come back here soon ok?" Joanna expressed as she stole a glance at the guy walking beside her.

Unlike the quiet atmosphere in the forest last night, the forest was very lively.

The bird chirps, sounds of various animals mixed to form a rhythm and the swaying of the tree branches made the forest very lively.

"Sure. We will do whatever you want," Amos replied. He continued taking the lead as they made their way out of the forest.

When they were a short distance from reaching where he parked his car Amos stopped in his tracks. He swirled and looked at her.

"What is it?" She demanded in a subtle tone.

"After I escort you to the cafe I will have to leave immediately…,"

"Is the important task you talked about still not accomplished?" Joanna asked calmly, her gaze centred on his handsome face.

"Unfortunately not yet," He replied. His reply coupled with his gloomy expression made Joanna realize that whatever task Amos was embarking on wasn't something simple.

"Because of this, I won't be able to follow you to the campus. But don't worry, I will join you at the campus when my job is concluded…,"

"I know I am used to us going to campus together but that is not important right now. What matters is your safety," Joanna cut in softly.

The gentleness in her voice and the concern in her eyes made him unsure whether he should be happy or not that she was making her concern visible for the first time.

"Is the task dangerous? Will you get hurt in the process?" She interrogated as she lifted her face and settled it on his face.

"I don't know," He replied meekly. "If you are worried about getting me killed then you don't have to. We were never married so even though I end up killed you won't become a window…,"

"Hey!" Joanna lost her temper and shouted. Her piercing glares and the way she reacted by pushing him made Amos realize that he had said the words she detested.

"I know we have become good friends over time and you will feel sad if I die…,"

"Kayden Greyson, I dare you to talk about dying one more time and I promise I will forget the fact that you are the King. I will hit you so hard that you will not be able to stand straight for five minutes," Joanna asserted.

She hit his chest with her right hand and walked past him in anger.

"Joan, I was only joking so why are you so mad?" He said as he pursued the furious lady. "Seeing the way you are acting one would mistake you for a wife who is scared that her beloved husband would die and…,"

"It's not funny so don't ever play such jokes on me," Joanna said as she kept on walking in big strides.

On their way back, Amos had a hard time easing Joanna's anger. He had to resort to using all the tricks up his sleeves before she would even spare him a glance.

At the front of the cafe, Amos' car came to a halt. He waited for her to get off without making any attempt to get out of the car.

Joanna walked to the driver's side when she noticed that he didn't come out of the car.

"You have been too busy recently that you don't have time for your woman. Aren't you afraid that she will be mad at you?" Joanna asked.

"My woman?" He asked in confusion.

"She of course, so stop pretending," Joanna said as she pointed at the lady in a yellow gown who was attending to a customer inside the cafe.

Eager to know what she was talking about, he turned his head and followed the direction her index finger was pointing at.

He shifted his gaze to her after confirming whom she was addressing.

"If you like seeing us together so much and want to play the matchmaker then I don't mind granting your wish…,"

"Y-you…" Joanna pointed her index finger at him not knowing what to say. She turned and walked towards the glass entrance when she realised she wouldn't be able to win against him if they were to argue.

She would sound nothing more than a jealous lady who was scared that another woman would steal the man she loves.

At the door Joanna was about to walk into the cafe when someone ran past, almost bumping into her.

"Mrs Parker!" She remarked and turned to look at the woman racing towards where Amos parked his car.

She was even more surprised to see Mrs Parker hop into Amos' car when she reached there.
