Bedding My Vampire Mate

Though he seems to be smiling Kyle who has known him better than anyone else could see killing intent in his eyes.

"Kyle was trying to tell me some secret that you forgot or should I say…. refused to tell me," Joanna said smiling at him.

"Really?" Kayden asked his gaze centred on Kyle.

He sat down on the chair opposite theirs.

"So what were you trying to tell her, Kyle?" Kayden asked, his murderous glares directed at him.

Seeing the killing intent in his eyes Kyle knew he was in deep trouble for saying things he was never supposed to say to Joanna.

Joanna, who was oblivious of what Kayden's gaze was doing to Kyle's system, turned to look at Kayden when she saw Kyle trembling.

"Why are you staring at him like that?" Joanna asked frowning when she saw Kayden's gaze which was full of deadly threats.

Sitting there all Kyle wanted to do was to find an excuse to escape from there because that is the only way he can save himself from this impending danger.

"Aren't you the one who told me to come to him so that he could keep me company so…,"

"I only said he should talk to you so you won't feel bored but I never said he could get so close to my woman or did I, Kyle?" Kayden asked his gaze not shifting from Kyle's body.

"Grumpy… No… I mean Kay," Kyle quickly corrected himself, not letting Kayden be the one to do it.

"I just realised that I have some unfinished business to attend to. I will leave the two of you now," Kyle stood up and left their table in a flash.

Joanna didn't even have the opportunity to call him back.

She diverted her fierce glares to Kayden's face when she saw that he had successfully driven the nice guy away.

"Why are you so stingy huh?" Joanna asked, sounding pretty upset.

"You are stingy even to your friends how…,"

"Of course, I need to be stingy when it comes to those who are close to my woman," Kayden said without an ounce of shame.

He jumped and took his place beside her.

"He is so handsome that ladies who set their eyes on him go crazy. What if in the process of being generous you fell in love with him, what will you have me do huh?" Kayden said as he playfully nudged her by the side.

His childish behaviour made the once angry Joanna chuckle.

"I have always known that you are a nutcase. Getting angry over such things is a waste of emotions," Joanna said as she shifted away from him when she realised that they were sitting too close to each other.

"I was beginning to enjoy his company and you chased him away…,"

"I am here so you can also start enjoying my company," Kayden winked naughtily at her.

"In fact, I bet you will even enjoy my company more since I will entertain and do to you things he would never be able to do," Kayden said teasingly as he playfully brought his hand to her thigh.

The feeling of his hand on her legs made Joanna jump up from her seat.

"Hey, keep your hands off me if you don't want me to scream and attract others' attention…," Kayden stretched his hand and dragged her back onto the chair.

"You can go ahead and scream but I bet that none will care about that because this is a club. If you scream they will all think you are screaming in sheer pleasure…,"

"You…," Joanna was left speechless again by his shameless words.

"That is why just be a good girl and sit down here or I will be tempted to tease you right in front of so many prying eyes," Kayden said teasingly.

He released her hands when she was no longer struggling with him.

Joanna stopped struggling when she heard his words. She knew very well that his words were not mere threats and the best way to avoid his troubles was to do as he had said.

"So what were you so curious to know about me?" Kayden broke off the awkward silence with his question.

"Were you eager to confirm from him whether my love for you is true…,"

"No, I was curious to know why on earth that cool guy in the past became so shameless within the space of just six months," Joanna replied jokingly.

"From his words, I got to know that you were never the type to socialize and that I am the only woman you have gotten so close to in the way you…," Joanna trailed as she turned and looked him in the eyes.

"But why is it that I don't believe what he said when I think about the things you have said and done ever since I came back?" She lifted her hand and brought it to his face.

"You are so experienced like you have done it so many times," Joanna concluded as she played with his face.

Kayden stared at her not knowing what to make out of her sudden closeness to him.

He has always been the one who initiated closeness to her so seeing her do this he couldn't help but feel uneasy about it.

Logically he knew he was supposed to be happy about the new development but he didn't know why he was feeling this way.

Was he feeling this way because it was too sudden or was there another reason for it?

"I didn't go to lessons to learn all these things but it came naturally," Kayden said as he held her hand which she had brought to his chest.

"Try losing the man you love with all your whole heart but only for the person to return. It's then you will realise that not everything that…,"

"Why are you getting all serious again?" Joanna asked unhappily. "Those words were supposed to be a joke…,"

"Although I told you that I will be nothing but a lover whenever I am with you, that doesn't mean that I will always have this smiling face," Kayden said seriously.

"I might be a man who loves you so much and is willing to go to any length for you but I am also the King and that fact will always remain…," Kayden trailed as he lifted his hand and placed it on her face.

He stroked her face affectionately.

"Since this man sitting beside you is not only a helpless lover but also the King, are you willing to embrace me for what I am just like I did with you?" Kayden stared into her eyes.

There was so much hope in his eyes. He was so hopeful because he wouldn't know what to do if she rejected him for who he really was.
