Bedding My Vampire Mate

He didn\'t press the issue further after her last remark. Since her mind was made up he didn\'t want to make things difficult for her.

"And I will need your help to watch over that naughty fellow when I am gone. I will make sure he doesn\'t disturb you in any way," She said while gazing at his face.

"Ok, and I am sure he won\'t certainly disturb me, so you don\'t have to worry," Amos agreed without any hesitation.

Joanna was a bit taken aback that he agreed without complaint but she didn\'t say a word about what she noticed.

"Thank you," She whispered and continued with what she was doing.

After she finished washing the dishes she rested for a few minutes before she carried her bag, ready to leave for work.

"Let me see you off," Amos said and stood up from where he sat. Anthony did the same thing.

Joanna didn\'t try to dissuade them to stay back because she knew none of them would listen to her.

She allowed them to escort her to the ground floor. Amos would have escorted her further had it not been that Anthony was in their company.

"Be good, ok. Don\'t forget what I said I would do if you dare make him uncomfortable in any way," Joanna cautioned her little brother for the last time.

"I will don\'t worry," He beats his chest confidently.

Joanna tilted her head and gaze at the guy who has been unusually quiet ever since she turned down his offer to stay back and be with them.

"I will call when I reach the cafe," She said almost in a whisper. She turned to leave when he said nothing to her.

"What about my hug? Don\'t I deserve that too or is it that your little man has made you forget all about my existence?...," She took him unawares when she suddenly spun and embraced him.

"This is the Amos I am used to and not that sullen face guy who was hard to approach," She said and hugged him tighter.

"And he will always surface whenever you need him," He beamed and wrapped his hand around her slender body.

Anthony, who was also affected by the earlier atmosphere, smiled along with them. Amos and Anthony returned to his apartment instead of Audrey\'s after they saw her off.

Joanna at first wanted to hail a cab but changed her mind when she realised that she still had a bit of time before work resumed.

She was about five buildings away from the cafe when she sighted a lady entering a black Mercedes-Benz car.

She recognised to have seen the car before so she hid behind a pillar and tried to find out what was going on.

Inside the car, the guy moved so that the distance between him and the lady wearing a matching purple crop top and a mini skirt was far apart.

"You insisted you had something important to discuss with me when my manager told you that I was preoccupied. I am right here so why are you not saying anything?" He questioned. He sounded distant.

Everything about him showed that he wanted to get over this in the quickest time possible.

"I still have two commercials to shoot so can you make things easier...,"

"I am taking my time to stare at your face because it has been like forever since I gaze at you up this close," She confessed and shifted closer.

The guy wearing a white outfit moved away so that the distance wasn\'t compromised.

"Miss Sophie...,"

"I have missed you," She blurted. She shifted so that the distance no longer existed between the two of them.

She wrapped her hands around him and leaned her head against his shoulder.

"I have missed the taste of your lips and your scent that has long been registered in my mind," She said and sniffed his shirt.

She kept hugging him tighter despite his rejection.

"If not for the help of my constant imagination I would have long forgotten how it feels to be touched and burn for you," She whispered provocatively into his ears.

Her right hand which was on his legs found its way in between his thighs.

She kept on proceeding with great anticipation.

Just when she thought she had him where she wanted he grabbed her hand which was aiming for his cock.

"Miss Sophie, please maintain your distance. I wouldn\'t appreciate it one bit if rumours of us being intimately involved were to circulate...,"

"Why do you keep on calling me Miss Sophie when you can call me Sop like you always do in the past? Why are you deliberately trying to create a gap between us...,"

"You just said the past so whatever happened between us was in the past. I have told you this several times and I hope you will respect my decision," He asserted and pushed her away from him.

He wasn\'t violent nor was he gentle.

"But I still love you...,"

"Our relationship was never based on love. I made this clear to you from the beginning so what love are you talking about Miss Sophie?" He said, his voice cold and deprived of any emotions.

"I know that we agreed on that but it\'s not my fault that I fell madly in love with you," She retorted. She proved stubborn and drew closer to him despite his warning.

"I know you also fell in love with me too so there is no need to act tough...,"

"I have told you to keep your distance Sophie," He stated fiercely, his eyes glued on her hand and laid on his thighs.

She didn\'t wait for him to warn her again but she removed her hand instantly.

"Ray...,"

"You are not the only one who can go crazy. I can too, so I will advise that you don\'t push me into doing something that we will both regret," He threatened.

Sophie stared at him. If she had a choice she wouldn\'t let this opportunity pass by no matter what.

She wouldn\'t have hesitated to trick him into fucking her right in the car there if that was all it required to mend their relationship.
