Bedding My Vampire Mate

"If you don't let go of me at the count of three then I will take it that you are not trying to apologise but trying to seduce me instead. And I am sure you wouldn't like my response to your seduction, right?" Amos said. A sly smile plastered on his face as he let go of her hand.

"W-what are you trying…,"

"1…2….," Joanna released him and moved two steps away from him before he could complete the countdown.

"You…,"

He grabbed her right hand and led her to the bed. He made her sit on the bed while he squatted in front of her.

"You can scold me as much as you want but that will be later. We need to talk right now," He said. The bright smile has long disappeared from his face in the same manner they came.

Joanna composed herself. She raised her hand and placed it on her lap.

"Are you still angry?" She asked while looking into his eyes.

"Why wouldn't I be when you were touching another man's body apart from mine…,"

"I wasn't doing that for pleasure but I was treating his injury…,"

"I know and that wasn't the only reason why I was furious," Amos said. He raised his hand and held her hands resting on her lap.

"I am worried about you and your closeness with the new guy and his friend…,"

"Raymond is a very nice guy. He treats me well. If you are worried that he might harm me then you don't have to…,"

"So what if he smiles at you and talks to you nicely, does that make him a good person?" He retorted. His pitch was a bit higher as he spoke.

"Moreover, how could I trust a person whose identity is uncertain…,"

"Did you do a background check on him?" Joanna cut in sharply.

"I had to. I have told you before that I can joke with every other thing including my safety but your safety and well-being are things I would never compromise," Amos said affectionately.

He stretched forth his hand and touched her face. She flinched when his hand grazed her broken lips.

"Did someone hit you?" He asked, his eyes locked on hers.

Actually, he saw her swollen face and broken lips earlier but he was too upset to say anything.

"The father and daughter duo ganged up on me but it's nothing. Thanks to Raymond's help, you are not gazing at my disfigured face right now," Joanna smiled. She lifted her hand and held his hand moving on her face.

Amos' expression changed at the mention of Raymond's name. And from the way, he lowered his gaze and tried to remove his hand from her face Joanna was able to tell how he was feeling.

"Do you know what comes to my mind when I see the sign of his five fingers on my face?" Joanna asked. She held his hand making sure that he didn't move it away from her face.

"It makes me recall that day you ordered me to slap Laura for insulting me. What did you say again?" Joanna asked beaming.

She adjusted her butts well on the bed and cleared her throat.

She bit her nails as she tried to recall Amos' exact words that day.

"You don't have to…"

"I remember it now," She shouted excitedly. She cleared her throat for the second time.

"Chris, what was the punishment for anyone who dares to interrupt the King?" Joanna imitated Amos' voice.

Her funny expression while mimicking his voice made the two of them burst out laughing.

"Do you know what was the highlight of that incident, hmm?" She asked. She proceeded to reply when he shook his head negatively.

"It was Adhara and Laura's expression when Chris stated the punishment for insulting the Queen. I can remember that Adhara was on the verge of peeing in her pants," Joanna burst out laughing.

She laughed nonstop. Due to her excessive laughter tears fell from her eyes.

"Take it easy or your stomach is gonna…,"

"Ouch!" He didn't finish talking when she let out a cry of pain with her hand clutching her stomach.

"Despite how much my hands hurt that day, the happiness of exerting revenge for the first time was way greater than the pain. I was laughing from within…,"

"That was nothing compared to your revenge when you came back. Thinking back now, I can imagine the terror they went through for those days," He said grinning.

He still can't stop himself from laughing anytime he sees the video of her ghost incidents.

The execution of her revenge was flawless. He respects her a lot for being able to pull that off without his help.

"You keep praising me when you are the one who should be praised," She said. She lets go of his hand noticing that he has returned to his normal self.

"I learnt about how badass you were on the night I was pushed off the cliff. I heard Chris say he has never seen you so furious and vengeful…," She trailed off as she looked at his face.

"Do you know what I regret about that incident?" Joanna asked.

"What?".

"That I couldn't get to see the Prime Minister's and other ministers' defeated faces. I would have loved to see you teaching them a lesson after getting controlled by them for many years," She said seriously.

Amos stared at her face. Compared to her fallen expression he loved seeing that broad smile on her face earlier.

"If you love those incidents so much. I can make you relive the moment…,"

"Aren't you afraid that people will bad-mouth you about abusing your powers?" She jokingly said.

"As long as it will put a smile on your face I don't mind being the bad guy. And besides, I think that being the bad guy suits me better than the good guy," He said beaming.

As Joanna and Amos were happily talking, in the sitting room Anthony paused what he was doing and gazed at the bedroom door.

"Brother Kay is the best. I knew that he wouldn't be angry with my big sister for a long time," he mumbled. A bright smile appeared on his face before he returned to the guy he was playing with.

After hours of talking and laughing Amos and Joanna finally came out of the bedroom to join Amos in the sitting room.
