Bedding My Vampire Mate

"She is right Dad," Laura spoke up when she saw that her father didn\'t believe Joanna\'s words.

"I was just telling her to inform my friends to take notes on my behalf since it\'s obvious I might not be able to attend lectures for days," Laura said with her fists secretly clenched.

"If you are done with that, then come in. Your mother is looking for you," Mr Anderson didn\'t question them anymore after Laura spoke up.

He returned to the ward.

"Good girl," Joanna whispered. She stretched her hand to pat her shoulder but Laura beat her hand away.

"If you continue being this good then I have this feeling that you and I are gonna get along well. So keep it up. Also, don\'t forget to consider what I said about your old hag," Joanna smirked and strolled off.

Laura tilted her body so that she had a good view of Joanna\'s departing back.

"She is getting out of hand. I am certain we are all gonna end up dying in her hands if Mum and Granny don\'t do something about her," Laura muttered.

She signalled the maid to resume rolling the wheelchair after Joanna was out of sight.

As Joanna made her way out of the hospital she felt so happy. She felt so fulfilled that she decided to harden her heart and deal with all of them.

She would have been even happier if her cruel father was lying on one of the beds in the ward too. Her happiness would have been completed.

"I am sure the evil man won\'t always be this lucky every time," Joanna muttered. She didn\'t let one failure ruin her happiness for that night.

When she returned home she met Amos sitting on one of the couches with his legs on the centre table and the grey laptop on his legs.

"You are finally back," He exclaimed. He abandoned what he was doing and went to hug her.

"You were gone for only a few minutes and it felt like you were gone for a year. Tell me, what am I gonna do when my vacation is over," He muttered. His grip around her body grew firmer.

"Do you know I have gotten so used to having you around that I forgot that your vacation was supposed to last for a month...,"

"If you want me to stay a bit longer I can extend...,"

"I love you very much and it\'s true I would have loved to have you around me always but I know that is not possible. I am not so selfish that I would ask you to abandon your life and throne...," He bent and planted a lingering kiss on her red lips.

He pulled away not long after.

"Of course, I am aware that you would never agree to such a thing. I just wanted you to know that I can abandon anything and everything to be with you. That is how much I love you, Joanna Anderson," He confessed while looking into her purple eyeballs.

"As you know I don\'t have any fancy thing to give to you or any treasures to offer to show you how deep my love runs. I only have this lousy power of mine and I promise I will use it to protect you all my life," She said.

Her eyes glowed brilliant blue and balls of fire appeared on her palms almost immediately after she finished talking.

He has seen this a few times and he doesn\'t get surprised at this anymore. The only thing he wished for was that she would tell him more about her powers, especially about what happened during her six months disappearance.

Despite longing to hear her answers he had promised not to force her. He would wait until she is fully ready to confide in him.

"Of course, I know that nothing can go wrong with our Boss Lady around...,"

"You are teasing me," She muttered. Her eyes and hands returned to normal. She attempted to walk away but he embraced her once again.

"I am damn serious about what I said. I mean how could I possibly tease our Boss Lady when I have witnessed some of the things she is capable of huh?" He whispered.

His compliments made Joanna grin in secret.

"Also, I never wanted anything fancy from you. From the beginning what I have ever wanted from you was your heart and now that I have your love I am more than satisfied," he confessed. He let go of her and spun her so she was looking at his face.

"And your heart is the most priceless treasure that can ever exist so why would I look for unknown treasure when I have one right here?" He quizzed and placed his hand on her beating chest.

"You are such a sweet talker. I am gonna die of diabetes one day because of the sweets you feed me in the form of your words," Joanna smiled.

She raised her hands and placed each on his shoulder. "So how many days do I have to spend with my Amos before he goes back to his real identity?" She asked playfully.

[According to what Chris said, I have less than a week to spend with her but how could I possibly tell her that? I am sure that will break her heart]

Amos thought of the reply to give her that will not dampen her spirit.

"Do I have a day, 2, 3 or 4 days left to spend with you, Amos?" She asked as she peered into his eyes.

He didn\'t answer her immediately but he extended his hand, held her waist and pulled her closer so there was no space between them.

"You don\'t have five days but two weeks of uninterrupted moments to spend as much as you want with your beloved," He whispered provocatively into her ears.

"In these two weeks, I am all yours to keep. If you decide to eat me too I won\'t complain...,"

"Cut out with it already...,"

"But I am damn serious," He whispered. His hot breath that caressed her skin made Joanna\'s clutch on his shirt tighten.
