Bedding My Vampire Mate

Joanna frowned at the manner he behaved before she could even finish talking.

"Don't you trust me or do you think I am not powerful and skilled enough to help you guys out?" Joanna asked unhappily. Her heavy frown coupled with her displeased tone made Amos pull over at a suitable spot.

He diverted his attention to her after he had successfully parked the car.

"I trust you Joan but this is not a matter of trust," Amos said softly.

"This is a matter of your safety and that's one thing I would never compromise. I have lost you once and I am not ready to lose you a second time," Amos said seriously.

His response left the once angry Joanna speechless. She was upset that maybe he looked down on her which is why he didn't think twice about rejecting her offer. But listening to his reason made her unable to say a word.

"You are way too important to me to get exposed to danger," He concluded while still looking into her eyes.

The intensity of his stares coupled with his sweet words made Joanna's heart race.

"If I was able to come out of a place like Ancient Forest Of No Return unscathed, that means I am difficult to kill. I will surely live for a long time…,"

"It's because I have experienced what it means to lose you once and that is why I won't repeat the same mistake. I won't change my mind no matter what you say so give up on persuading me," Amos said in a tone of finality.

"I am not weak at all but you are just being overprotective…,"

"Let me take you home so you can freshen up and change into something new before we embark on talking to Audrey," Amos deliberately interrupted her so they wouldn't have to talk about their earlier topic.

He ignited the car and zoomed off.

"Home?" Joanna asked in confusion. "Whose home are you taking me to?" She demanded softly.

As far as she can recall her home was still under construction and this was the reason her entire family lounged in a hotel.

"My home of course…,"

"I won't follow you into your apartment…,"

"But why not?" He demanded while glancing at her face. "This is not gonna be your first or second time entering my apartment so why do you suddenly hate the idea now?" He asked seriously.

He wished he could stare at her face for a long time but he knew that wasn't possible since he was in charge of driving.

"Because… because…," Joanna realised that she couldn't find a valid reason to give for not wanting to enter his apartment.

"If you are worried that I will make advances at you when we are alone, I promise I won't lay a hand on you no matter what," Amos gave his word despite knowing that this promise wasn't up to him to keep.

It's his heart which has the final say about this but he still went ahead to do it.

"Since when did the shameless Kayden I know start keeping his promises huh?" Joanna questioned playfully.

[How can I bring myself to tell him that it's not him I don't trust but myself… I am afraid I might lose control of myself and pounce on him. It will not be fair to Drey and that is why I am trying my best to prevent it from happening]

Joanna was in a daze as she stared at him. She looked away from his face when she noticed he wanted to divert his attention to her.

"Maybe, I will start it today, you never know," He replied teasingly just to make her get rid of the frown on her face.

His teases earned a chuckle from her.

When they reached the tall building Joanna kept on insisting on going to check up on Audrey first but with how persistent Amos was she ended up succumbing to what he wanted.

So as not to make her feel uncomfortable in the slightest way Amos stayed in the sitting room while he let Joanna make use of his bedroom and bathroom.

After showering Joanna who had only a towel wrapped around her slender body stepped onto the grey tiled floor.

Carefully she made her way to his dressing table which had more ladies' cosmetics than that of the male.

Anyone who stepped foot into his bedroom and got a glimpse of his dressing table would immediately think that he normally brings ladies home, not knowing that he was a loyal lover to the core.

With the hairdryer, she blew her silk silver hair dry. She went ahead to comb and let down the hair so that it cascaded her back.

When she was done applying lotion on her body, Joanna stood up and strolled to the wardrobe.

Opening the wardrobe Joanna was astonished to see that only ladies' accessories occupied the entire wardrobe.

The wardrobe was very different from the last time she used it.

Her face turned beet red on getting a glimpse of the undies and bras neatly arranged inside the wardrobe.

"He is such a pervert… but why do I love the fact that he is very attentive," Joanna smiled on realising that all the undies and bras were purchased according to her taste in colour, texture and materials.

"Is he trying to seduce me into making his apartment my new home with all these fabulous things?" Joanna muttered as she reached out her right hand and picked the lacy red panties.

Back in the sitting room Amos who was listening to what she said chuckled. "How did she know that I want her to move into my apartment," He mumbled. His smile radiated even more.

After Joanna came out of the bedroom Amos stood up from where he sat and moved to the bedroom door.

He stopped in front of the brown door and turned to look at her. "You are not allowed to peek while I am having my bath".
