Bedding My Vampire Mate

"We will spend the rest of our morning in bed. Isn\'t that thrilling?" He grinned and approached the bed with Joanna in his arms.

Joanna struggled to come down from his body but he refused to let go. He dropped her onto the bed with care.

Out of fear she moved backwards in a bid to avoid his touch.

[What on Earth does she think I want to do to her?... She is so cute when she pretends to be timid]

Kayden grinned inwardly. He climbed the bed and crawled toward where she lay. "S-stay away from me," She shouted and swung her hand around.

Kayden acted as if he didn\'t hear her and kept on trying to breach the gap between the two of them.

"W-won\'t you stay away?" She stammered when she realised that he wouldn\'t listen to her. She tried to roll out of bed but he grabbed her hand and fell on top of her.

"Where do you think you are running off to huh?" He asked. An evil grin crept onto his face as he pinned her hands above her head.

He lowered his mouth and brought it close to her neck. Her frantic movements made him pause.

He looked into her vibrant purple orbs. "Why act rough hmm?" He whispered. He acted as if he wasn\'t aware of why she behaved the way she did.

"You said you wouldn\'t rush things. Also, you mentioned before that as a King, you honoured your words more than anything…,"

"And so what?" He cut in.

"But now you want to do this. D-doesn\'t that mean you are going back on your words?" She asked. Joanna bit her lower lips and tried not to stare into his eyes. She knew the resolve she had would be shattered if she dared look into his enchanting eyes.

"Also, I am not ready for that…,"

"And aren\'t you the same lady who got angry at me last night for stopping midway through last night? So how come you are not ready to do it?" He asked with his husky voice.

"T-that is…," Joanna was lost at what to say.

She couldn\'t bring herself to say that she acted like a possessed beast last night because of the overwhelming emotions she felt.

HAHAHA!

He laughed and fell off her body. His laughter didn\'t go down with the lady who thought he was laughing at her timidity.

"Why are you laughing? She demanded. "You knew from the beginning that I wasn\'t…,"

"I am laughing because you look cute when you act like this," He teased and pulled her cheek playfully.

"You think this is funny," She frowned. She failed to see what was funny about their conversation.

He stopped smiling and put on a stern expression. "What do you use your brain to think about every day huh?" He asked.

"And where did your mind wander off to when I said we were gonna spend the entire morning in bed?" He asked.

He failed to maintain his stern expression when he got a glimpse of her eyeballs which were full of so much innocence.

"That is…," she trailed, not able to respond.

Kayden gazed at her face for a few seconds. They stayed in this position without any of them uttering a word to the other.

"Do you love me so much that you can\'t stop thinking about ways to make me forever yours? If you want my body then I am ready…," Joanna caught him unawares when she jerked to her feet.

"You…," He grabbed her hands and pulled her. She lost balance and fell on top of him.

When she saw what had happened she tried to stand up but he wrapped his hand around her waist.

"What…,"

"I love you quite a lot. A lot more than you even love me so there is no need to feel shy," He beamed. He lifted his hand and stroked her pretty face.

"And who said you love me more than I love you huh?" She inquired with her lips pouted.

"I did? Do you have a contrary opinion…,"

"Of course I do," She said, her eyes locked with his.

She lowered herself a bit so that her mouth was close to his right ear.

"Do you think you love me more because you fell in love with me first?" She whispered, causing Kayden\'s body to stiffen due to her teasing.

He gritted his teeth and tried not to show that he was affected by what she did.

"And what if that is one of the reasons…,"

"Who says the one that fell first is the one who loves more…,"

"Does that mean you love me more?" He quizzed while looking into her eyes.

"You tricked me again," She said and tried to stand up from his body but the cunning guy rolled her over.

She struggled to run away but his grasp around her wrist didn\'t loosen. He held her in a way she wouldn\'t be able to escape from him.

"And where do you think you are going Boss Lady?" He questioned. He rubbed his nose against hers before she could complain.

"T-that is….," She trailed. Actually, she didn\'t know what to say or how to scold him.

She indeed loves him a lot more than she thought and she didn\'t see a reason why she should argue about that with him.

For two minutes they stared into each other\'s eyes without saying a word.

"I love you a whole lot," He confessed. "I have loved you for a long time. And this is something I made known to you since the beginning...,"

"I know that," She replied, grinning. She raised her right hand and stroked his cheek. "Your sincerity and perseverance are the reason why we are here right now...,"

"And I am thrilled that I didn\'t give up," he muttered, his gaze locked in hers. "I am happy I listened to my heart when things got tough".

Joanna stretched and pecked him on his lips. "Thank you for loving me in a way no one has ever done. And for not giving up on me until the end, I say thank you...,"

"Loving you makes me happy. Also, I did everything willingly so there is no need to thank me," He confessed.
