Bedding My Vampire Mate

Joanna dropped her clenched fist on realising that it was Kayden. "Why is it you?" Joanna asked curiously.

"Didn't you say you had something important to do, so why are you here?"

Joanna sat back down after realizing that it was safe.

Although it sounded like she hated to see him there, the truth was that she was smiling within.

"Did you miss me so much that you can't hide your excitement to see me?" Kayden made Joanna roll her eyes with his conceited words.

He didn't care about this but walked to sit beside her on the tree trunk.

"And I indeed said I had important things to do but I never mentioned that I wasn't gonna come back," Kayden smiled as he stared at her face.

"I can see that you are having a blast teasing and making me angry each day and that's why you were so eager to come back and continue from where you stopped," Joanna was so excited that she failed to filter her words.

Kayden stared at her face. Seeing her indifferent expression hurt him.

"Do you really think the reason I made it a point of duty to come here every day is that annoying you brings me happiness?" Kayden asked. His tone and even his expression carried a hint of pain.

Joanna felt like slapping her face when she realised what her words had caused.

"Do you think I am so crazy that I will abandon all my work every day just to spend time with you…,"

"Kay, that is not what I meant…,"

"If that is what you think then you are wrong. I am not that crazy neither am I so jobless," Kayden said.

"You are the reason I am so happy and always smiling. I abandon my work in the palace daily to spend the day with you but only to spend the entire night working is not because I am crazy but because I love you," Kayden stood up from where he sat.

Joanna stood up and grabbed his left hand, not letting him walk away as he wanted.

"I know I was wrong in saying those words so I am sorry that I hurt you," Joanna apologized sincerely.

"Really?" Kayden asked, beaming.

Joanna was surprised to see him smiling when he was very upset a moment ago.

She let go of his hand when it dawned on her that he was pretending.

"How could you prank me like that huh?" Joanna asked as she stumped away.

She didn't take up to four steps when someone embraced her from behind.

"It's true that I was hurt by your words although not as hurt as I pretended to be," Kayden said without letting go of her despite her struggling.

"You know how much I love you so you shouldn't have deliberately tried to hurt me with those words…,"

"It wasn't intentional. I was only trying to tease you but…," Joanna trailed as she stopped struggling with him.

"Is this what they call TEASING GOES BAD?" Kayden asked playfully.

"If you are bad at teasing then you can learn from me. I am a very good teacher and we can even experiment some of them like this…," Kayden grinned wickedly as he blew hot hair on her bare neck causing Joanna to stiffen immediately.

"I can assure you that your teases won't ever go bad if you learn from a great teacher like me," Kayden said smiling.

"Get off me," Joanna yelled, pushing him away from her immediately.

She walked towards the tree trunk.

"I am telling the truth. I will even let you experiment on me, isn't that a great bargain?" Kayden asked, following her closely.

He sat down beside her and started talking again. "You will never find a greater teacher and one who is willing to be your teases experiment subject so isn't this a good bargain…,"

Kayden kept quiet when Joanna turned and glared at him.

Everywhere went quiet with their breathing and the chirps of the birds being the only sound heard.

"I heard about your feat in the boutique. I heard as usual you drove everyone insane with merely your appearance," Kayden said as he sneaked a peep at the lady looking at the stars.

Joanna shifted her gaze to him. There was a frown on her face. "Didn't I say I have nothing to do with the ghost story so why…,"

"Ok, I will act as though you are telling the truth but now that you have decided to reveal yourself can you tell me what exactly you are?" Kayden asked in a gentle tone.

"Are you a werewolf now or something even more unique?"

"Joan, I need to know what exactly you are so that I will be able to protect you very well this time around…,"

"What are you too?" Joanna asked. She lifts her right hand and places it on his face.

She stared into his black eyes that had started wavering following her question.

"I and everyone else have always known you as a vampire so why is it that you were a werewolf that night?" Joanna didn't look away from his eyes as she spoke.

"Your Dad was a vampire and so is your mum. As such you were supposed to be a vampire so how come you are a werewolf too? How many secrets are you hiding?" Joanna stroked his face as she talked.

The usual talkative and playful Kayden went quiet after her questions.

He looked away from her eyes which seemed to be prying into his soul. He rejected the first intimacy she had ever initiated by pushing her hand away from his face.

Instead of gazing at her face like he normally does, he looked at the sky. "Isn't the sky so beautiful?" He asked.

[He has never acted this way so I wonder what's so hard for him to tell? Him acting this way makes me find him strange]

Joanna quickly looked away from his face when he saw him turn around.

"Yeah, it's so beautiful," Joanna replied.

"It's so beautiful that it calls for spending the night with your loved one and this brings me to say…," Kayden trailed intentionally arousing Joanna's curiosity.

Joanna diverted her attention to his face. "Why are you pausing, say it," Joanna ordered sternly.

Had she known what crazy thoughts were going through Kayden's mind she wouldn't have dared to ask him to finish his words.

"Let's sleep together," Kayden blurted out to the shock of the girl who jumped to her feet immediately.

"What!" Joanna yelled with widened eyes.
