Bedding My Vampire Mate

The jamming of the guestroom door made Joanna turn and stared at her left-hand side.

Her mouth hung open the moment she set eyes on the tall dashing dude standing some distance away.

She was smitten by the outline of his body. She kept staring at him intently, unable to look away.

"It would have been better if you had taken care of the darn curls," She muttered absentmindedly.

"Did you say something?" He asked, acting like he didn\'t hear what she said. He and Anthony strolled to where she stood with their hands stuck in their pockets.

The way they walked synced like they had practised their walking moves.

"I said why didn\'t you tell me if you both had plans to wear matching outfits? I would have done the same," She lied without batting an eyelid.

She would have flawlessly fooled them if not for their special abilities.

"But that is not what you said," Anthony spoke between his teeth. He was lucky Joanna didn\'t hear what he said.

"I wanted to do that but in a haste to leave the room, I forgot to tell you that," He replied. He scanned the lady standing in front of him with sharp eyes.

Joanna was fortunate to catch him peering at her like she wasn\'t the same lady he has been living with these past days.

"Are the clothes not nice?" She asked and lowered her gaze to look at what she was wearing.

Although she wasn\'t wearing some fancy dinner gown, what she wore wasn\'t bad at all.

She had settled for these matching green long sleeve cropped tops and trousers because of Anthony. She knew how playful he can be at times and didn\'t want to be caught unawares.

She had particularly chosen snickers instead of heels for comfortability. She didn\'t know how she would feel if he said he didn\'t like the clothes.

"You look exceptional," He replied and gave her a thumbs up. Her lips curled into a broad smile listening to his compliments.

Noticing that he was left out Anthony walked closer and held Joanna\'s hand. "Big Sis looks fabulous," He announced and beamed at her.

"My little rice ball is not looking bad either," She replied grinning. She bent and pecked the giggling boy on the cheek.

"What about me?" He asked with his lips pouted.

"What do you mean?" Joanna asked. She feign ignorance of what he was saying.

"I also complimented you but you didn\'t peck me so what about my kiss…,"

"I pecked him because he is my little brother, so based on what reason should I peck you?" Joanna asked while looking at his face.

"That… t-that is…," He stammered with his head lowered. Anthony chuckled not knowing that he was the reason why Amos didn\'t go outright shameless with his reply.

"If you love getting pecked so much then pray to reincarnate as my little brother in your next life," She replied grinning.

"Although your offer is juicy, sorry I reject the offer," He said sternly. He walked passed the siblings and approached the centre table where he kept his car keys.

"Brother Amos is jealous," Anthony chuckled, his gaze following every movement Amos made.

"You will keep quiet and resist laughing if you don\'t want to get spanked by him," She let go of his hand. She turned and held the door knob.

"Go and stay with him while I change my clothes to one that will match yours and Amos\' outfits," She informed and pushed the door open.

"The outfits you are wearing has white and that matches our clothes too. If you think that isn\'t enough then you can change your handbag to white," He suggested meekly.

"But…,"

"Have I ever deceived you before?", He cut in before she could reject his suggestion.

Joanna hesitated to answer but her gaze never left his face as she thought about his words.

The two times he selected outfits for her, she ended up making the headlines. No doubt he has a good fashion sense and that is something she sees daily in every outfit he wears.

"You and Little rice ball should head to the car now. I will join you after changing my handbag," She informed and entered the room.

For the handbag, she didn\'t need to waste time searching since his walk-in closet had a space, particularly for her handbags.

All she did was pick up the small-size chain handbag and transferred her belongings from the other handbag to the new one.

She came out of the bedroom and was about to make her way out when she got a glimpse of the four pairs of eyes gazing at her.

She was amazed to see that they didn\'t leave.

"Why…,"

"This is a family outing. It wouldn\'t be fun if one person is missing," He interrupted and strolled to where she stood.

The three of them made their way out of the apartment at the same time.

Arriving downstairs where his white sports car was parked, Anthony raced to the front door and tried to pull it open but Amos appeared just behind him and stopped him.

"This spot is for your sister while that one is yours your," He pointed at the back seat.

"But I want to sit with Big Sis…,"

"Be good and do like I said except you want to be left behind," Amos said meekly.

Anthony swallowed back what he wanted to say, let go of the car and made his way to the back seat when he saw how serious Amos\' expression was.

"Did you have to say that…,"

"We don\'t have to pamper kids all the time. Sometimes we have to be strict with them so they don\'t become spoilt," He replied and opened the front door for her.

She didn\'t enter the car even after he opened the door for her.

"Also, I wasn\'t that stern. He complied because he understood what I meant without me having to explain myself. He is that smart so don\'t worry," He urged her on when she still refused to sit in the front seat.

On his third attempt, she entered the car. When they were all seated with their seatbelts properly strapped, Amos drove off.

Inside the car, Anthony was smart enough not to interrupt the adults as they talked.
