Bedding My Vampire Mate

"He didn\'t think twice about making an enemy of his ministers just to avenge you. Neither did he care about revealing his identity when he trashed the Chancellor who tried to rape you. This is to show you that he would go to any extent to protect you...," Mrs Parker halted and let her words linger in Joanna\'s head.

She raised her hand and placed it on Joanna\'s right shoulder.

"He loves you so give him a chance to show you how much he does. Instead of worrying about others trust him to protect you from unforeseen harm...,"

"I have already given him a chance and I won\'t take that away from him no matter what," Joanna beamed.

She was finally able to raise her shoulders and head high.

"And I have told him that I have no fancy things to give him as a token of my love. Instead, I promised him protection so leave the protection part to me. I can do it even with my eyes closed," Joanna beats her chest with confidence written all over her.

"Hehehe... You are one funny girl, do you know that?" Mrs Parker chuckled.

"I know you don\'t believe me. And must be thinking that I am crazy to say that I would protect a man who has a whole army at his beck and call but that is not a problem. What matters is that I know I am capable of what I say," Joanna\'s smile radiates as she hits her chest one more time.

Talking to Mrs Parker didn\'t only resolve Joanna\'s problem but it made her more confident about her relationship with Amos.

Joanna allowed their air of excitement to die off before she picked up from where she had stopped.

"Mrs Parker, if a man says he is willing to wait for a lady to be ready before he makes love to her, how true is that?" Joanna asked out of the blue.

Mrs Parker who was caught off guard by her bluntness stared at her like she was looking at a stranger.

"Can I interpret this to mean that he wants me to be the one to make the initiative?" Joanna asked without an ounce of shame.

Mrs Parker tried to shake off the shock before she decided to respond.

"It takes a man of great principle, self-control and training to make such a promise to a lady; especially the lady he loves," Mrs Parker replied.

The way Joanna\'s curious orbs centred on her face made her feel a bit embarrassed although she didn\'t say it.

"Since you are in love I am sure you must understand how hard it can be not to get those naughty thoughts running through your mind. And that is even worse for the men," Mrs Parker set a perfect example that Joanna would not have a hard time understanding.

"For a man to make such a promise doesn\'t only show how much he loves you but also the level of his respect for you and your feelings...,"

"And that is a good thing right?" Joanna asked.

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "Of course," Mrs Parker asserted.

"If that\'s the case then I wonder when his promise will expire," Joanna thought aloud when she recalled the times Amos rejected her advances.

"I am sure there is a good reason he made such a promise so I will advise you to exercise a bit of patience," Mrs Parker smiled at Joanna.

Thinking that Joanna was done with seeking her advice Mrs Parker turned to leave.

"Mrs Parker, the thought of getting pregnant scares me. Just a little bit. Do you have a suggestion on how to take care of this fear so I won\'t hesitate anytime we want to make love," Joanna was even blunter than she was with her earlier question.

Mrs Parker had to turn and look at the door to make sure that none was close by.

"Oh, girl...,"

"This is the last question," Joanna blurted, assuming Mrs Parker was tired of her questions.

"At least for today," She added shamelessly.

"The solution to that fear of yours is quite simple. If you are scared of pregnancy then make use of protection. You are just 18 years after all...,"

"Why do both of you keep mentioning my age whenever this type of discussion is concerned," Joanna asked.

She was displeased with Mrs Parker\'s reply and the frown on her face made it obvious.

"They are girls who have sex at age 15, 16,17 and even less than this so what on Earth is wrong with having sex at age 18?" She demanded unhappily.

"I guess living many years has made me old-fashioned so don\'t take my words to heart. Also if you really think that my idea is outdated you can ignore it...,"

"I wouldn\'t do that. Although I am upset, I know you said those things for my sake. Also, indeed, I don\'t want to get pregnant any time soon," Joanna confessed.

"I want to enjoy my man to the fullest before I even think of giving birth," She declared and smiled from ear to ear.

Mrs Parker couldn\'t resist smiling at Joanna\'s shameless confession.

"Even though you don\'t believe everything I said tonight then believe me when I said you are the most shameless girl I have ever seen...," Mrs Parker beamed and shook her head.

"I haven\'t seen a girl of your age who is as shameless as you when it comes to asking adults about sex and anything related to it. They have always done that freely with friends but you are different," Mrs Parker said and walked towards the entrance.

"Can I take that as a compliment and come see you next time I have issues?" Joanna asked, her gaze focused on Mrs Parker\'s back.

"You can do that," Mrs Parker waved her right hand in the air without turning to look at Joanna.

Joanna smiled as she returned to the seat she sat down in earlier. She went through her phone\'s gallery again but this time there was a broad smile on her pretty face as she appreciated the memories she and Amos shared.

She stayed in the locker room for a few more minutes before she remembered something.

"It has been like forever since my best friend and I sat down and talked so why don\'t I give her a surprise today? I am sure she will be damn happy to see me," Joanna giggled.

She stood up, carried her back and made her way to the main cafe.

A/N:

Hello lovely readers, so first of all I want to apologise for being away for three days without notifying you guys.

It was bad of me to do that so I apologized.

One more thing there is something on my mind and judging from the kind of person your beloved author is, I won\'t have peace of mind if I don\'t tell you guys about it.

Like I informed you guys, my birthday was on the 18th of March, and will you believe it if I told you that out of all the amazing readers I have that it was only two readers who wished me on that special day?

I was so goddamn disappointed if you may know.

Let\'s drop aside the fact that I got no gifts from all of you, but why didn\'t any of you wish me on that day?

It was my birthday after all and I informed all of you about it beforehand just to prevent this from happening so why...?

I will be a liar if I say I wasn\'t hurt and heartbroken by your actions. And I am still hurting from this even as I speak.

I really thought you guys would always have my back in everything. I believed in your love for me so much but...
