Chapter 57 Shameless Kayden

The angry Joanna soon calmed down. And when she did her eyes returned to that pair of purple eyes he was familiar with.

"Relax, I won't harm you," Joanna said when she saw that his eyes were still crimson red.

"But I can't guarantee that I won't punch you in the face if you dare to peep at me while I change," Joanna said jokingly as she signalled him to turn around.

Seeing that she had returned to the lovely girl he knew, Kayden also calmed down and just like her, his eyes returned to the original black colour that it has always been.

"I have seen all that needs to be seen so what is use to…," Kayden abruptly paused what he wanted to say when Joanna extended her hand to punch him.

"You might be the King but I won't hesitate to hit you if you dare peep or tease me with what you saw," Joanna threatened him with her fist pointing at his face.

"Also, I saw everything on your body that needs to be seen so you can say we are even," Joanna said without sounding the least embarrassed.

Kayden turned his back at her like a gentleman would have done. "I am sure you must have loved what you saw right?" Kayden decided not to withhold himself anymore.

If given a second chance he had promised himself to drop every form of formalities. He had vowed to pursue her like a normal person would woo the woman he loves.

Now that he has been given a second chance he intends to keep his word.

"I am sure you must agree with me that the size is perfect and it is solid just as it should have been. With one thrust you will be sent to the nine heavens…,"

"Kay, what the hell do you think you are doing huh?" Joanna asked sharply.

She was trying to take her mind off that scene and yet his words were making her visualize the scene of his naked body afresh.

"What else if not that I am telling you the benefits you are gonna get from being my woman. You will enjoy me every night…,"

"What has happened to you Kay? Did you eat or drink what you shouldn't have or did something else happened to you while I was away…,"

"Something terrible did happen and that was, I missed you to the point that I lost my mind," Kayden said seriously.

"I was insane for a few days and when I regained myself, I vowed that if heaven had mercy on me and brought you back that I will do everything I couldn't do in the past…," There was a pain in his voice as he spoke.

He fought back the memories of the past six months that were threatening to surface.

"I had promised to do everything with you so that there will be no room for regret in the future and that is what I'm gonna do," Kayden said firmly.

Everywhere turned quiet and awkward after Kayden's last statement.

Joanna went to sit on the bed after putting on one of the clothes she picked from the wardrobe.

"There is no need to sound so serious when telling such lies or else…,"

"I wasn't lying," Kayden said firmly as he went to sit beside her.

Seeing how serious he looked Joanna didn't know how to brush off the topic so she decided to change it instead.

"Instead of dwelling on depressing topics, why don't we talk about something more exciting while you keep me company for a few minutes," Joanna said as she rearranged the oversized shirt which was threatening to swallow her up.

"Something exciting like what?" Kayden asked as he stretched his hand and held her right hand.

Their sudden closeness made Joanna's eyes widen. Her thoughts run wild just within some seconds.

[Gosh, what the hell was I thinking? What on earth is wrong with me after I returned]

Joanna felt so embarrassed and guilty when she saw that Kayden was only trying to roll up the sleeve of the shirt since it was bigger than her.

"Something exciting like what has happened and how everyone has been living after I died," Joanna said.

Kayden stared into her eyes to see how she was feeling but her expression was blank.

"Since I became the King no one has been gutsy enough to ask me to do what you are asking me to do but since it is you, I will make an exception," Kayden said. He sat down properly after he had rolled up her two sleeves.

"I feel honoured that I am an exception, Your Majesty," Joanna said sarcastically but this did not stop Kayden from narrating all that happened while she was away.

He started telling the story from the day she went missing. He tried to be as detailed as he could.

Thank goodness for Chris who always gives him the news on some of the things that happened or else he wouldn't have been able to satisfy Joanna's curiosity.

"I wonder why I am not the least surprised that everyone has been living quite well even after they murdered me," Joanna said as she pets the head of the blackbird sitting on her legs.

"Now you have told me how they are living, I guess it is time for me to see things for myself…,"

"Joan, I know you must be feeling so hateful right now but I will advise you not to try anything stupid. They might try to kill you again…,"

"They will kill me?" Joanna chuckled as she stared at Kayden. "They can give it a try but that is if they have what it takes to do it".

"What do you mean? Are you perhaps a werewolf now…,"

"That's a story for another day. Get going now. You have stayed longer than you usually do. I am sure Chris waiting in front of the forest will get worried about you," Joanna interrupted him sharply.

It was obvious she was trying to avoid the topic.

"I never mentioned that Chris was waiting for me so how do you know this and you even know exactly where he is waiting? And what did you mean by I have stayed longer than I normally do?" Kayden asked suspiciously.

He has been finding Joanna strange and what she just said proved her more suspicious.

"That's a secret. I will tell you everything on the day you decide to tell me why you are both a vampire and a werewolf?" Joanna said playfully.

Kayden wanted to spend the night there. In fact, he didn't want her out of his sight for even a second but Joanna insisted he must leave.

She was afraid her return would no longer be a secret if the guards came in search of Kayden and found her there.

"The hut is mine so you can stay here for as long as you want. I will bring the necessities you will need to make you comfortable," Kayden took a long gaze at her before he forced himself to leave in the heavy rain which had refused to stop.

"Bacon, I think this is the perfect time for us to return home and settle some scores, don't you agree with me?" An evil grin appeared on her beautiful face. Her eyes turned blue and they shone brightly.

She looked scary as she gazed into space. She disappeared almost immediately.
