Bedding My Vampire Mate

"You knew you were not alone so why were you so terrified? I mean you are not the type to get easily scared," Amos said. He stretched his hand and dropped the pot inside the sink.

He returned his focus to her. "You reacted like someone who was caught doing something wrong and this brings me to my question," He said and bent so that his mouth was close to her ear.

"What kind of lewd things were you imagining about me…,"

"Hey!" Joanna shouted and pushed him away before his closeness could affect her more than it already did.

"Get away from me," she crossed her hands on her chest as she spoke.

A chuckle escaped from the mouth of the boy who was pretending to be engrossed in the cell phone in his hand.

Amos couldn't stop himself from smiling when he noticed how hard Anthony was suppressing his laughter from bursting out.

"Why did you have to choose today of all days to act so cute hmm?" He asked in a provocative tone.

"Are you doing this because you know that I wouldn't dare to do anything with your little man around," he pulled away from her afterwards.

Joanna closed her eyes and tried her best to suppress the overwhelming feelings that were about to burst out.

She turned and stared at him when she had successfully done this.

"I never knew that a fearless man like you is afraid of my little rice ball hmm," She said with her chin held high. She strolled to the cooking area as if nothing happened at the sink a few moments ago.

"You can't call this fear but I think the perfect word is respect. If I want him to do me this favour I have to this much…,"

"What favour are you talking about?" She asked. Her suspicious glances darted from Amos to Anthony's face.

"What are you both scheming behind my back huh…,"

"It's men's talk, ladies are not allowed…,"

"He is not even a teen and you are calling him a man. Don't you think you are pampering him too much?" She asked. She returned her gaze to the burning cooker behind her.

"I am practising how to be a good father. Also, how could you call this pampering," He retorted. He bent and carried Anthony on his body.

"Whatever but I pity the poor woman who will end up marrying and bearing kids for you," she replied nonchalantly.

"Big Sis, aren't you talking about yourself?" He asked innocently.

"Excellent!" Amos remarked excitedly. He pecked Anthony on the cheek due to over-excitement.

Joanna spun and glanced at the smiling faces behind her. She was lost at what to say seeing their happy faces.

"You guys are ganging up on me because I am the only lady here. I won't talk to you both again," she said. She swivelled and continued with what she was doing.

"Are you sure about that?" He asked but she didn't turn around or react to his words.

Noticing that she was hell-bent on ignoring them Amos turned and whispered, "Tony, what is the most effective way of getting your sister to laugh and start talking to us?"

"Tickles," Anthony giggled as he spoke. "Nothing works better than that," he added.

An evil grin plastered on Amos' face as he gazed at the back of the woman who was oblivious to what they were planning.

He gently let Anthony down. He bent and whispered some words into his ears.

They started approaching where she stood afterwards.

Joanna got a bit uneasy when she didn't hear their voices behind her. Anxious to know what was wrong she turned around.

Turning around she was dumbfounded to see two fingers standing behind her.

They didn't allow Joanna to react before they started tickling her.

"Hahaha… stop it," Joanna shouted but the two guys didn't do as she ordered.

She had no choice but to eventually run around the kitchen when they wouldn't stop tickling her.

Not even her running could make the two men stop torturing Joanna.

"Just wait and see how I will hahaha…," Joanna burst out laughing in the middle of her sentence.

There was so much excitement as the three people ran about the vast kitchen playing and laughing.

While playing Amos paused and watched the two siblings as they chased each other.

[This feels like a real home. I wished things were always this way]

He was lost in thought and didn't see Anthony constantly waving at him.

"Brother Amos, come and save me hahaha…," Anthony laughed as he struggled to free himself from his sister's firm hold.

"I am coming," He replied and ran to join them.

​ After so much playing the two guys finally allowed Joanna to do what brought her to the kitchen.

In the dining, while the two siblings ate, Amos watched them with his glass of blood dangling in between his fingers.

They chatted and played even at the dining table. The mood was super lively with Anthony who talked endlessly.
