Bedding My Vampire Mate

"It will lead to an explosion if I fail to keep the temperature under control...,"

"Then that means heating the milk this way is dangerous so why...,"

"I have practised it over a hundred times. And now I am an expert in doing this and even more awesome things with the flames so don't worry. I won't get hurt," She smiled and tapped him on the shoulder.

Joanna started approaching the sitting room with the cup of warm milk in her right hand.

"What other thing can you do that is even more awesome than this?" He asked. He tried to watch up with the lady who was now far away from where he stood.

"Do you mind showing it to me?" He said. He jumped and stood in front of her when she wouldn't stop walking or reply to any of his questions.

"Stop acting like my little rice ball because neither of us will be able to get any peaceful moments for the remaining days he is gonna stay with us if he dares get wind of what I am capable of doing," Joanna muttered

She looked at where Anthony sat to make sure he wasn't listening to their conversation.

"But...,"

"I promise I will show you other things I can do with my powers but that would be when little rice ball is not around...,"

"I am cool with that," He replied, grinning. He tried to collect the glass of milk from Joanna but she refused to let go.

"I won't go back on my words so there is no need to do that," She smiled and approached where Anthony sat waiting for the two of them.

Anthony quietly watched them as they took their position at the dining table.

"Big Sis, what were you and brother Amos talking about?" He asked after they were both seated.

"You said there won't be any peaceful moment if I learned about...,"

"Did you hear our conversation?" Joanna asked. She and Amos exchanged puzzled glances when Anthony shook his head positively.

"Are you and brother Amos...,"

"It's time to eat and I remembered instructing you many times not to talk at the dining table," Joanna cut in. She knew very well what he wanted to say and she didn't allow him to do that.

"But...,"

"Drink this first," Joanna ordered. She picked up the glass of milk and passed it to him.

"And make sure not to speak afterwards," Joanna instructed, seeing that Anthony still wanted to talk despite her warnings.

With this single order, Joanna and Amos were able to narrowly escape from Anthony's interrogation.

Since it was a Sunday, Joanna, Amos and Anthony spent the entire day at home.

They watched movies and played games with Audrey's consoles. When they were tired of playing games with Audrey's consoles they invented games to keep them busy for the remaining part of the day.

At dawn, Joanna freshened up and changed into a matching orange shirt and a pair of trousers she had selected before she entered the bathroom.

Amos and Anthony who were previously in the sitting room entered the bedroom when she was trying to wear the white snicker.

"Let me help you with that," Anthony blurted and raced to where she sat.

"There is no need...," Anthony had already lifted her right leg before she could stop him. He lifted the white snicker and gently shove Joanna's leg into it.

"Your Grandma has warned you never to do jobs meant for servants. Have you forgotten what she said she would do to you and anyone who made you do stuff like this?" Joanna asked the boy who was trying to tie her shoelace.

"I often see my Mum help my Dad wears his shoe so this is not part of what Grandma warned me...,"

"Your Mum does that because your Dad is her husband but you are not my husband or are you?" Joanna asked playfully.

"T-that... that is not...," Anthony stammered and paused what he was doing. He snuck a peep at Amos and the expression he saw made him shiver.

He didn't have the confidence to continue after he got a glimpse of Amos' murderous glares.

"I thought you insisted on doing it so why did you stop huh?" Joanna asked as if she didn't know why Anthony abruptly stopped what he was doing.

"That's because your little man is smart. He knows when not to cross the line...,"

"Did you threaten him again?" Joanna cut in. Her eyes darted from Anthony to Amos' face and then back to Anthony's.

"Of course not," He blurted. "He has been exceptionally good and we got along pretty well so there was no need for that," He winked naughtily at Anthony who had stood up from where he squatted.

"Is that right, little rice ball?" Joanna shifted her gaze to Amos. She shot him a suspicious glance.

"No, he didn't. Brother Amos has been awesome," Anthony beamed.

"Can you hear that?" Amos asked with his hand raised with pride.

Joanna smiled when she saw how well they got along.

Seeing them act like a team felt as if it was just yesterday Anthony came crying to her that Amos bullied him.

"It's good to see that you both get along well now but you are not allowed to gang up on me now that you have joined forces," Joanna warned sternly.

She bent and continued from where Anthony stopped. She tied the shoelaces and stood up from the chair after she was done.

She picked up her pouch and started walking out of the room. The two men followed her to the sitting room.

Joanna paused in front of the exit when she felt that the two men were still following her.

Anthony almost knocked into her when she halted.

She turned and gazed at the two of them, "And where do you think you both are going?" She demanded. Her eyes moved from Amos to Anthony's face.

"We are following you," The two chorused.

"But I never said I was gonna take you guys with me so what is happening here?" She retorted.
