Bedding My Vampire Mate

The lecture room Joanna\'s evening class was held was big enough to contain 200 students but only half of the hall was occupied.

During the lecture, all Kayden did was stare at Joanna\'s face. On so many occasions he would have been caught staring intently at Joanna but thanks to her timely intervention she was saved the humiliation of being called out by the lecturer.

Because she had to keep Kayden in check Joanna felt as though the class was taking longer than usual when in fact the man didn\'t exceed the time he was supposed to teach.

"Gosh, thank goodness it\'s finally over!" Joanna exclaimed in relief after the man left the lecture hall.

Kayden and Joanna didn\'t spend extra time in the lecture hall, they left almost the same time the lecturer left.

Kayden following Joanna was attentive to see that she has been constantly massaging her left shoulder.

When he saw her massage her shoulder for the third time ever since they left the lecture hall, he held her hand and dragged her to the bench situated some distance away from the main road.

He gently made the reluctant lady sit on the bench while he hurried to stand at the back of the bench.

"What are you up to now?" Joanna asked trying to stand up but Kayden who had already anticipated this held her in place.

"You keep massaging your shoulders so I guessed you must be feeling uncomfortable there," Kayden said in a soft tone as he raised his hands and placed them on each of her shoulders.

The sudden feeling of his hand startled Joanna. She tried to stand up but Kayden\'s firm grip made her unable to do this.

"Let me help you to massage. I am sure you will feel better after I am done," Kayden said, he gave a little squeeze to her shoulder.

He was surprised when he saw her jump up from where she sat.

"I know you want to help me but no matter how I think about it this is not just right," Joanna said seriously.

"You are the K…," Kayden stretched and covered her mouth before she could complete her sentence.

"I have told you not to call me that. I will lose my chance to stay with you for a month like I had planned if everyone realises my identity," Kayden said not letting go of her mouth.

"I know you might not like the fact that I am around you. You might have even concluded in your mind that I am annoying…," Kayden trailed emotionally as he released her mouth.

"You might think however you want but the truth is this is very important to me, Anna so I wish you would respect what I want this one time," Kayden concluded seriously.

Joanna stared at him with a conflicted look. She was so used to seeing his playful side that she feels very uneasy when he suddenly gets serious while talking to her.

"I never said I hated having you around neither did I say I no longer wanted you to follow me so, why get all serious?" Joanna asked frowning.

"Are you perhaps trying to make everyone believe I bullied you…," Joanna was a little surprised when he suddenly appeared in front of her.

"If you don\'t hate having me around, does that mean you love it huh?" Kayden asked as he winked naughtily at her.

Joanna chuckled when she saw that he was back to his normal self that she is used to.

"Hmm… Although you can be a bit annoying I must admit that you are not that bad," Joanna said beaming.

She started walking away leaving Kayden to think about what she just said.

"Did Joan just compliment me?" Kayden\'s face lits up like he just received the news that his wife is pregnant with their first child.

"Joan, wait up. I didn\'t hear what you just said so can you repeat it one more time?" The thrilled Kayden ran after her.

"Say it one more time hmm," Kayden said as he tried to keep up with her pace.

Joanna was having so much fun with Kayden around and didn\'t realise that they had covered a huge distance.

When she realised it they were already in front of her gate.

"Hey, why did you follow me all the way here? Won\'t you return to the palace?" Joanna made sure to whisper her last sentence so that vampires nearby won\'t overhear her words.

"I have already told everyone that I was going on a business trip to the human world so unfortunately, I can\'t return to the palace," Kayden said as he leaned on the magnificent gate.

"Right now your man is homeless I won\'t say no if you decide to take me in. In exchange for taking care of me for this one month I will compensate you by taking care of you in this lifetime…," Kayden smirked evilly as he spoke.

"Isn\'t this a very good bargain hmm?" Kayden winked naughtily at her.

"Tell me you are kidding?" Joanna said with bewildered eyes.

"Who is there?" A voice coming from inside called out to them.

Without waiting for the security guards to open the door and meet them there, Joanna held his hand and pulled him along with her.

She stopped walking when she realised that they were far away from her home.

"Aren\'t you very influential so why are you homeless…,"

"If I am using my real identity, getting where to live would have been a piece of cake but have you forgotten who I am now?" Kayden asked waving his right hand at his face.

"Right now, I am nothing but a university student who is a nerd from the middle class".

Kayden\'s face suddenly lit up when he realised that Joanna hasn\'t released his hand yet.

"Do you know that you are the one who has been doing everything to initiate intimacy with me lately?" Kayden asked his eyes glued on their hands which were interlocked.

"What… what are you saying," Joanna denied trying to let go of him but the cunning Kayden who had other plans refused to let go.

"If you had missed my touch you didn\'t have to use such silly tricks. All you needed to do is to say the word made this hubby is gonna immediately grant your wish," Kayden said with a sly smile on his face.

Before Joanna could fathom what he was up to he had already pulled her onto himself and circled her waist with his powerful hands.
