She was terrified that her bad luck might strike again. She is scared that within a blink of an eye this happiness she is experiencing might turn into bubbles and vanish forever.
She didn't think she would ever be able to survive if something terrible happens to Kayden.
Joanna was afraid that she might end up committing suicide to put an end to all this bad luck.
"Yeah, it has been that long," He beamed and stroked her hand affectionately. "As fate may have it, you had to confess your love for me on the same day…,"
"Does this mean instead of one celebration that we are gonna be having a triple celebration yearly on this day?" Joanna questioned. Her eyes twinkled as she looked into his eyes.
"Triple celebration?" He scratched the back of his head in confusion.
"Yes," She said and stood up and strolled away from the table.
"The first celebration is the anniversary of your first proposal. And the second is my love confession…,"
"And what's the third?" He startled her when he suddenly appeared behind her.
She spun so that they were facing each other. She raised her hands and cupped his face.
"And the third celebration is that today marks our first day officially being a couple," She announced, grinning.
"A couple?" He asked with raised eyebrows.
"Yeah, I thought we were now a couple or was it my wishful thinking?" She asked and withdrew from him.
"Were you intending to play with my feelings…,"
"Of course not," He said and grabbed her moving hands. He placed her hands on his beating chest.
"We are a couple now. I repeated it not because I hated the idea. But because the feeling of you saying that word made my heart skips…,"
"Cheesy," She remarked and tried to remove her hand from his chest but he leaned in, taking her by surprise.
"I mean it. Or can't you feel my heart pounding as if it's gonna jump out of my chest?" He said, still holding her hand close to his chest.
[He is bad for my poor heart so it will be better if I keep my distance from him]
She forced her hand out of his firm grip when he least expected it.
Joanna swirled to leave but he embraced her from behind.
"Where are you running off to huh?" He whispered. His hot breath caressed her sensitive ear, causing Joanna's body to stiffen.
"Y-you are too dangerous for my p-poor heart," she stammered as she tried to break out of his hold. But he didn't budge.
"Dangerous?" He whispered once again and shifted his mouth from her ear to her bare neck.
"How dangerous am I?" He asked provocatively. His sexy husky tone made Joanna bite her lower lips.
She mustered up all the self-control she had just to resist his temptations.
"Hmmm…,"
"And do you think you are innocent also?" He said and planted a lingering kiss on her bare neck.
A groan almost escaped Joanna's mouth had she not bitten her lips on time.
"My body is in flames all because of you but did I blame you huh…,"
"Kay, can we not do it now? I am…,"
"Naughty girl, what are you thinking huh?" He grinned and moved away from her.
"Your fears won't come true because I don't have the intention of laying a finger on you," He said and strolled to the table.
He pulled out a chair and beckoned her to sit.
"At least not yet. I need to feed you first so that you will have the energy to withstand my unparalleled strength…,"
"Hey, you are teasing me," The lady now sitting on the red and white chair lifted her hand to hit him but he moved away in a flash.
He proceeded to the opposite chair and sat down.
"What will you have me do if we made love and you suddenly faint midway because I didn't feed you…,"
"I am not that weak ok…,"
"It's not about saying it but we will see how true your words are in a few minutes," He teased and reached out his hand to carry the bottle of wine laid on the middle of the table.
His naughty words caused Joanna's face to flush.
"There will be punishment if you complain of weariness…,"
"And there will be serious punishments for teasing me…,"
"Bring it on and I will accept it with gladness," He beamed and took a sip from the glass of wine.
They kept on playing and teasing each other. As she ate, Amos who had taken off his disguise earlier kept watching her.
No reaction or movement she made escaped his notice.
"Is it tasty?" He asked, seeing Joanna take a bite from the steak she had cut into sizable pieces.
She lowered her gaze and stared at the man whose burning gaze was about to bore a hole on her face.
"Why don't you take a bite and see for yourself," She mumbled. She picked a churn of meat from her plate and extended it across to where he sat.
"Human food tastes horrible. Ever since the first day I had a bite from it I vowed not to eat it again…,"
"Then are you trying to tell me that I am gonna eat alone in the future when we get married…,"
"You won't eat alone but I will accompany you like this," He cut in meekly.
"Hmmm…," Joanna stood up with the piece of meat still stuck to her fork.
She approached Kayden's seat.
"I am sure the food must have felt horrible because I wasn't there to feed you," She said and squatted in front of her.
"Oh… Really?" Kayden asked, holding back his laughter.
"Yeah," she was confident and shameless with her reply.
"Let's see whether you will still find it terrible if I feed you this way," She whispered and placed the steak inside her mouth.
Joanna reached out her hand and placed the fork on his plate. Before Kayden fathomed what she was up to she stretched, wrapped her hand around his neck and planted a kiss on his lips.
Kayden's body stiffened. He was caught off guard by her actions.
Some minutes ago she was the one running away from him because he got close.
