Bedding My Vampire Mate

"And what's so funny about what I said huh?" He demanded.

The guy in the white shirt picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip from the glass of highly intoxicated wine.

"Everything about the two of you is funny," he replied without beating around the bush.

"It's funny how you are sneakily meeting her when her mother doesn't want to set eyes on you…,"

"Mates are bound to each other for a lifetime so what is so funny about…,"

"Mates?" The guy in the green shirt chuckled. "Who the hell goes out with a woman/man in this century just because he/she is his mate?" He questioned.

Rafael's eyebrows furrowed as he stared at his friends.

Yes, the two of them are notorious for playing around with any woman they come across but why must he be like them just because they are his friends?

They chose to live their lives recklessly while he chose to take his seriously so what is wrong with that?

"Yeah, that is an outdated tradition meant for the elders…. Also, what is the fun of sticking to one woman when you can enjoy as many as you want?" The white shirt guys support.

The mere thought of having fun with many women made him lick his lips hungrily.

"You are being reckless with your words because you are human. If you know the importance of mate bond the two of you won't be spewing nonsense in front of me…,"

"So what if we are humans…,"

"Guys, I don't want to hear you mention this ever again," Rafael warned as he stood up from the white couch.

"I love Laura and she is the only one for me and I hope you would respect that. I won't ever tolerate you guys disrespecting her in any way, got that?" Rafael made his stance known before he walked away.

"Why is he getting all worked up?" The guy in the white shirt asked after Rafael jammed the bedroom door closed.

"He is blinded by love so let him be. Maybe he would learn his lesson in the next life after he gets murdered by Laura's mother," the other replied as he sipped from his glass of whiskey.

Inside the bedroom, Rafael took off his maroon shirt and placed it on the bed.

"I reeked of alcohol. My love is coming over. I can't make her feel sick because of me so let me shower and smell good for her," Rafael muttered in excitement.

The mere thought of seeing and having her in his arms made him unable to stop smiling.

Inside the bathroom, as the warm water fell on his body Rafael couldn't resist humming his favourite tone out of excitement.

Meanwhile, as this was happening, inside Joanna's room, the moody lady groaned, pulled the blankets off her face and glared at the one that opened her bedroom door.

"Little rice ball!" Joanna exclaimed in shock.

"Why does Big Sister look so astonished?" Anthony asked, smiling as he entered the room.

"Was Big Sister doing something naughty and that is why you didn't perceive my scent from afar as usual," Anthony asked innocently as he settled himself down on Joanna's bedside.

[Yes, he is telling the truth… why is it that I wasn't able to pick up his scent before he reached my room?]

Joanna was confused as she stared into space.

After searching her memory for what might have been the cause, her eyes widened.

[Gosh, how can I forget that I will start losing my abilities gradually as the deadline for the mission draws near…]

The warm feeling of his hand against her delicate face puts an abrupt end to Joanna's thoughts.

"Big Sister, what's wrong," He began in a subtle tone. "I overheard Dad scolding you from my room… is that why you are in a daze? Are you sad because he scolded you?" He asked in a concerned tone.

"I am sad because of what your father said?" Joanna scoffed. "Little rice ball, your big Sister here has gotten too thick-skinned that nothing anyone says will affect me…,"

"Is Brother Kay and I included too?" Anthony cut in his innocent eyeballs fixated on Joanna's face.

"And if you are not sad because of what Daddy said then what is wrong… Did that weird guy make you sad?" Anthony took a wild guess.

[Sister Audrey would never make Big Sister sad or upset so I am sure it must be the weird guy with glasses]

Anthony clenched his fist at the thought that Amos was the reason for his sister's sadness.

"If he is the one who made you sad then you can leave him to me. I will teach him a lesson…,"

"Little rice ball, can you not mention his name in front of me," Joanna interrupted sharply.

She raised her hand and stroked his face. "Hearing his name alone infuriates me. I am afraid I might lose my cool and hurt you if you keep mentioning his name," Joanna's hands moved to his shiny brown hair.

She forced on a smile and patted his hair.

"Did he bully you…,"

"Also who said Big Sister is sad?" Joanna deliberately didn't let Anthony finish his words.

"Your expression said it… it's all over your face," Anthony replied firmly as he waved his hand at her face.

[Does my expression depict sadness?] Joanna brought her right hand to her face and subconsciously caressed her face.

"If hearing his name makes you sad then I am sure that hearing Brother Kay's name will put a smile on your face," Anthony said ignorantly.

If only he knew that the two men were the same people then he wouldn't have made the mistake he just did.

"Did you just say Kayden?" There was anger in her eyes at the mention of his name. Joanna tightened her fist and tilted her head sideways.
