Bedding My Vampire Mate

She stood up and carried her black handbag from where she kept it.

She brought her attention back to Adhara\'s direction afterwards.

"To make it worse, no doctor will be able to diagnose the problem until the poison wears out on its own. As such none will be able to offer a solution..," Joanna grinned.

"That is my conclusion. How do you like it?" She maintained her evil smirk.

Because she couldn\'t withstand the stench any longer she began walking to the exit.

"Come back here," Adhara shouted. She repeated the same words when Joanna refused to pause.

"Take it easy, stepmother. Where will you get the energy to survive the most dreadful three days of your life if you waste it screaming at me huh?" She expressed.

She took a long glance at the astounded woman before she turned to leave.

"Three... Three days?" Adhara muttered with trembling lips. "Did that daughter of a demoness say we are gonna experience this hell for three days?"

It took her a few seconds to assimilate the meaning behind Joanna\'s words.

"I will kill you, Joanna Anderson. I swear I will be the end of you," Adhara yelled at the top of her lungs.

From outside Joanna could hear her voice. She bet everyone around the vicinity heard her stepmother\'s scream and not just her.

"I can\'t wait to see you do that. The thought of roasting your minions alive excites me, so bring it on," she mumbled.

She walked elegantly to the gate. She didn\'t give a damn about the guards\' strange stares.

After what she did to them last time, none of them dared to look her in the eye anymore.

Stepping out of the gate, there he was leaning against the car. She wasn\'t surprised because she kinda guessed this much.

Although she guessed he would come she was still happy to see him standing right there. And she was more thrilled that she was the reason the great king of their kingdom left his home early to stand right there.

"You look stunning," he complimented and walked up to her. "As always," he added and bent to peck her but Joanna playfully pushed his chest backwards.

"I know hanging out with you has made me shameless just like you. But still, I can\'t let you do this right in front of my home," She strolled elegantly to the front seat he had opened.

"What if someone saw us and told this to my father...," He appeared and placed his hand on the door before she could enter the car as she wanted.

"I would love it if someone saw us and reported it to him. At least that way I will get to marry you early," He replied grinning. The cunning smile that lingered at the corner of his lips made Joanna point her index finger at him.

"You are...," he bent, held her extended finger and shove it into his mouth to Joanna\'s amazement.

He released her hand when he saw that his plan to shut her up had worked.

"You should have known better not to use him as an excuse to tease me," he smiled triumphantly. He proceeded to the driver\'s seat. He left her still gazing at him.

After he sat down he stretched his body and peered at her through the passenger\'s window.

"You know we had planned to spend some time together before your classes started. You are aware that the time we are supposed to spend together will be shortened if you keep standing there," he expressed.

"Hop in," he beckoned her and tapped the empty seat beside him. Joanna gazed at him for a few seconds more. She hopped into the car when she saw that he was about to step out of the car.

"You sure have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. I think I need to mentally prepare myself for a lot of surprises like the one earlier," She said. She dragged the seat belt and tried to strap it but he held her hand.

"I have always wanted to do this when we get into a relationship so let me help you," he muttered. Joanna didn\'t resist or argue with him. She lets him do what will make him happy.

[He sure made a lot of plans for us. I wonder what would have happened to him if I never reciprocate his feelings or realised this deep feeling I have towards him? How would he have survived the pains and heartache?]

She never understood what it meant to be helplessly in love with another person or what it meant to suffer from heartbreak until she fell in love with him.

Thinking back now she can\'t help but wonder how many times she broke his heart both intentionally or unintentionally in the past.

How was he able to endure these five long years of being in love with her without any hopes of reciprocation?

"It must have hurt so much right?" She mumbled. She stretched forth her hand and placed it on his chest.

He was a bit taken aback by her actions but he decided to play along.

"What are you searching for...,"

"Your heart," she blurted and kept stroking his firm chest.

What an irony that the woman who didn\'t let him peck her was the one breaking all boundaries even at the risk of being the subject of gossip.

[She sure loves me a whole lot more than I thought]

He beamed. He raised his hand and placed it on her hand that were still moving on his chest.

"Did you miss me so much that you can\'t keep your hands off me...,"

"I love you so much. If there is something I wish for with all sincerity, it\'s that we will never be separated ever again," she muttered and leaned her head against his shoulders.

"And I will make sure of that. Just give me a little more time to sort things out. After that I will make sure you come into my life and home with the due glory and respect you deserve," he assured and stroked her silver hair affectionately.

"Just like you waited for me, I will also wait for you until you are ready. I promise I will not make things hard for you because of our relationship," she smiled and embraced him back.
