Bedding My Vampire Mate

Kayden Greyson might be her lover but she knows that before that title, comes his title as the King and his responsibility towards his people.

She was afraid that these people might come in between their relationship in one way or the other.

She was only betrothed to him yet they saw her as an eyesore, the most useless scum in the world.

What will they do to her or talk about the King when they learned that he was in love with her?

She might be mentally and physically strong right now but she doesn't even want to think or imagine what they would do to her if her secret affair with the King is brought to light.

[I wish I had fallen in love with you a bit sooner. That way we wouldn't have had only two weeks of uninterrupted time together but a month. I wish...]

Joanna closed her eyes and tried not to think about the numerous times she pushed him away despite his deliberate actions.

Because of the thoughts clouding her mind, it took her a long time to fall asleep.

When morning reached, the first person to wake up was Amos. When he saw that she was still fast asleep, he didn't wake her up.

He decided to let her sleep but his plans didn't work because Joanna soon woke up. She has been trained to wake up very early ever since she was a child and as such she was not the type to sleep in.

Even on days when she doesn't have classes or work, she also wakes up early. But the difference is that she forces herself to return to sleep on such days.

Joanna rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up. She was a bit surprised to see that he was awake too.

"Good morning, Kay," She greeted with her right finger still rubbing her itching eye. She was about to climb out of bed only to realise that Anthony's left hand was on her waist.

Gently she peeled his hand off without waking him up in the process.

"Morning, how was your night?" He asked and tried to climb out of bed too.

"You don't have to wake up earlier than normal. You can sleep some more...,"

"How can I bring myself to fall asleep when I am aware that you are awake?" He smiled and pulled the blankets off.

He used the blanket to cover Anthony properly after he was out of bed. Because they were afraid that their voices might wake Anthony up, they decided not to talk anymore in the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, Joanna still asked Amos to go back to sleep but he refused to do as she said.

Even if he knew he wouldn't be of much help to her in the kitchen he believed keeping her company and talking to her was better than leaving her alone in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Joanna was lost at what to do upon realising that the ingredients they had weren't enough to prepare a decent meal.

She had made up her mind to go out that early even though she was certain that no grocery shops would open at that time. But suddenly her cell phone rang.

Because her hands were wet, Amos helped to remove the phone from the pocket of her pyjamas where she kept it.

Amos unlocked her cell phone following her directions and clicked on the latest inbox that was received a few seconds ago.

"The message says you should open the door," Amos read out the message for her.

"What do you mean by I should open the door?" Joanna asked in confusion. She was about to ask further questions when she recalled something.

"That must be Drey!" She remarked and hastened out of the kitchen. She was already gone before Amos could inform her that she got the name of the sender wrong.

Joanna was too excited to see Audrey to think straight.

If it wasn't because of the overexcitement of not seeing Audrey for days she would have realised that the one at the door wasn't Audrey.

If it was Audrey who was at the door she wouldn't have asked her to open the door but instead, she would have input the password and entered the house.

It was her apartment after all.

At the door, Joanna pulled the door open without any precautions. "How dare you disappear...," Joanna withdrew her outstretched hands when she got a glimpse of the face of the lady standing at the door.

"Josephina!" She retorted with widened eyes. "How come it's you.... no I mean what are you doing here?" The confused Joanna didn't know the right way to phrase her question since she wasn't over the shock and disappointment.

"I was about to tell you that it was Josephina who was at the door and not Audrey but you were gone before I had the opportunity to do that," Amos who just appeared beside her tried to explain.

Joanna turned and faced him when she noticed that he seemed to be aware that Josephina would be there before the message even arrived.

"I thought we agreed that I would take over all Josephina's duties in the coming days to avoid suspicions at your home so why did you send for her? Did you forget the agreement we made or...,"

"Joan, relax and let me explain myself ok," Amos grabbed her shoulders and tried to make the panicky lady a bit relaxed.

"Let's go in and I will explain what happened," Amos muttered. He held her hand and led her towards the sitting room with Josephina following closely.

When the three of them were both seated he got ready to explain himself.

"So last night, I went to the kitchen to prepare a cup of milk for your little man when he couldn't fall asleep. It was then I realised that the groceries you bought were used up after I opened the refrigerator...," Amos paused to make sure that Joanna was following his explanation.
