My Badboy Knight 27. Dilemma.
TASHAThe drive back home is odd and quiet. I feel miserable, but Jennie's soothing hand rubbing down my arm and the cookie she is stuffing into my mouth calms me a bit. Sometimes, Nate steals quick glances at me from the rear mirror, and each time, he is caught by me staring right back at him. I do not know what to feel about what happened between us tonight, about that kiss during that dare and back in that room, but I know I will be lying to myself if I pretend that I do not want it to happen again.We finally arrive at my house. After leaving the rest of the cookies to Jennie and wishing them all a sound goodnight, I step out of the car and start to drag my tired feet towards the house. I check my phone. 9:30pm. Wonderful. Just thirty minutes right before my curfew."Tasha wait." Nate's voice stops me, his hand holding me back. Electricity bolt through my skin. I didn't even notice when he left the car.I hiss in a silent breath through my teeth and take a moment before I turn aro
My Badboy Knight 28. The edge of giving in.
TASHA"Goodbye mum." I bang the door of the car shut and blow her an air kiss."Goodbye darling." She says, blowing me back an air kiss of her own before pulling out of the school's parking lot, driving away.I am left standing alone and staring at the tall school building in front of me. I had a shitty weekend, and now I am here in school. On a Monday. God I hate Mondays. The school clock just stops ticking faster. Classes become longer and tedious.And assignments. Tons of assignments from Miss Paxton, the Geography teacher. Her long intellectual class is first two periods today.I groan and take in a breath. Today should be different please.I adjust my mid-thigh black jean skirt and black crop top before I start walking over to the school building. A group of three scantily dressed girls with heavy makeup scoff directly to my face as they parade past me.What the hell? And why do they even look like they are trying to apply for stripper positions in a club?I huff out their audaci
My Badboy Knight 29. You can talk to me.
TASHAI breeze past the offices, racing towards the only quiet dark place I have in my mind to seek solitary comfort. It may not be one of the fanciest places, but it will give me the silent solace I need right now.Reaching the door of the storeroom, I push it open and barge inside, meeting a stark darkness that matches my anguish inside. I bang the door shut behind me and latch the door bolt into place.My hand brings out my phone from my bag and turns on the torchlight. I search the wall behind me for the light bulb switch of the room. After finding it, I turn on the switch. The white bulb light illuminates the small room instantly, but it does not eliminate the dark sorrow flowing within every single vein and bone of my body. I turn off my phone's torchlight, my legs wobbling. I sink to the floor, bowing my face in-between my hunched up legs, my tears streaking down my cheeks.I have been such a fool. A big massive stupid fool. I loved him with everything I had. I cared for her wi
My Badboy Knight 30. I just can't stop.
TASHAMy statement drops like a silent bomb, spreading its stillness between us. Nate's face falls into a flat pale expression at my words. He wanted me to talk about how I truly feel. Well, that is how I truly feel. Bitter. Pained. Filled with so much anger.I want to pay them back in their own coin.Just when I start to think that Nate and I will continue to keep staring at each other here in silence, Nate stands up from the floor and comes to my side, sitting down beside me, our shoulders merely an inch apart.He rests the back of his head on the wall behind us and takes in a deep breath. "Tasha, I will be really lying to you if I try to console you by telling you that I can understand what you are going through right now. Jason is an asshole, and Diane, what she did to you is totally unimaginable. If Marco did that to me. . . ." He shakes his head. "In fact, I don't want to even think about that possiblity."He exhales gently, turning to look at me. "But Tasha, getting back at Jas
My Badboy Knight 31. This feels so good.
TASHAI am kissing Nate again, and I don't want to stop. His tongue tickles along mine, fanning the heated flames he ignited in me. My body always reacts to him like this, and I can't always seem to get enough or let go.My hands roam across his chest, sliding up to the back of his head, my fingers tangling into his hair and tugging at the curls. He rasps out a low moan, his tongue slipping back into my mouth once more, our kiss turning into a hazy combination of gasps and syncing tongues. One second, his hands are cupping my face, the next, they are gripping my ass, picking me up from the floor in a split second. I marvel at his strength, my short jean skirt shifting up as I lock my legs around his waist. My arms loop around his neck, holding onto him like my life depends on this wild, crazy kiss that is happening between us, my mouth and body praying that it never ends.His strong arms spin us around, and I feel the wall press into my back. His lips pull away from mine, breaking our

TASHAThat mouth of his might just be the end of me. My skin flushes at his words, my heart racing."Nate," I whimper when a second finger slides inside me, joining the first in rubbing against my inner walls. He slicks them halfway out only to slam them right back inside me. I moan, my hips riding his thrusting fingers, chasing his rhythm as he continues ramming into me. When his thumb begins to rub my clit, the sweet friction, in combination with his fingers pumping inside me, sends me tethering on the edge. I grab onto him harder, riding his thrusts faster. "Yes, come for me." His words, with his mouth now kissing my lips with fast tongue strokes swirling inside my mouth, matching the rapid movements of his fingers inside me, ripples me right over the edge. I cry out as my back dips, my head angling back as the intense wave of my orgasm hits me, shuddering all over my entire body. More moans and gasps ebb off me as my riding thighs lock tight around him, my core muscles clenching
My Badboy Knight 33. Nothing stays forever.
TASHAThe rest of morning classes flash by in a blur, with Jennie feeding me bits by bits of information about Miss Paxton's class that I missed, and constantly pulling my eyes and mind off Nate, who obviously has not glanced my way. Not even once. He looks so lost and distressed that even our history teacher had to call his attention back a couple times during history class. I feel so bad, and I hate myself that I made him that way. During lunch break, I borrow Jennie's Geography notebook and decide to skip lunch, not having the appetite to even eat. The library will be mostly empty by now, and it will offer me a safe haven. I can update my note there and distract myself from all the noise and tiny whispers. But most of all, it will help me avoid the pain of sitting with Nate on the same table, enduring his possible stabbing silence towards me and pretending like nothing happened.I do not think I can bear it.I shut my locker after grabbing my geography notebook and make my way ups
My Badboy Knight 34. Are you mad at me?
TASHAThe questions keep vibrating in my head even when I enter the greenhouse. Nate is talking to the man. They turn around at my presence, Nate's smile vanishing off his face the instant his eyes meet mine. Nothing stabs more painfully than when you feel your heart squeezing so tight like it is been ripped right out from your chest.That is exactly what I am going through right now."Tasha Quinn, come over here." The man beckons to me. I drop my bag on the table and dust off my hands against the jean material of my skirt, my restlessness growing more and more every second I walk closer to them. Nate looks away when I reach them."You both are in luck today." The man says, showing us a large mass of green vines and shrunken branch sticks with dried brown leaves heaped together. "The labourers did half the work during the weekend, so all you have to do is to just pack them up and burn them right in that incinerator there." He points to the big black incinerator just less than a hundred

My Badboy Knight AUTHOR'S NOTE
Dearest Reader, My heart is full. Writing Diane and Leo’s story has been a beautiful unforgettable adventure, and I hope it brought you as much joy, tension, laughter, and definitely a few buckets of tears as it did to me. Diane and Leo are two characters I will never forget. Their journey from enemies to friends and finally to hardcore soulmates was crafted with the same ups and downs that make real life so beautifully complex. My baby girl Diane, most especially, gripped me by the throat throughout her journey in this book, and I cried several times whenever I found myself digging and exploring deeper and deeper into her mind and who she truly is. Leo King, well, he played with my heart as well. He made me believe he was some rich fucking brat who couldn't care less about anything, only to crash me with the truth of who he really is—a true lover king with so much indepth layers that had me lusting and thirsting for more. Thank you for staying with Diane and Leo through every twi
My Badboy Knight EPILOGUE TWO
THREE YEARS LATER DIANE I wake up submerged in paralyzing pleasure that sends shivers sizzling down my spine. Warm lips, a hot tongue, and the unmistakable expert touch of the man I love. My body reacts instantly, stretching beneath him as I surrender to the bliss he is inflicting into every cell in my body. This is Leo’s favorite way of waking me up—and, if I am honest, mine too. I love our morning fun so damn much. “Leo…” I breathe out, my fingers threading through his dark strands, clutching tightly as he teases me, pushing me toward the edge of pleasure with every flick of his tongue, every stroke of his fingers. He knows every spot, every way to pull me apart and put me right back together again. I feel myself melting into the softness of the bed, barely able to keep my eyes open. Leo is there, between my legs, working his magic, his mouth and fingers moving with a determination that is both sweet and very sinful. I tangle my fingers in his hair, holding him to me like he

My heart pounds as I take in the scene before switching my attention to the rest of the audience, searching for the same familiar faces there that are present to cheer me today.My parents. Tasha and Nate. Marissa. Dante.

LEOI swing the door open and step into Frosty's room.My eyes land on her and Tasha sitting together on the bed. They look so happy, with Frosty's face glowing so bright that the sight tugs at something deep within me, causing warmth and relief to settle right in the center of my chest.“Oh, hey, Leo,” Tasha says, spotting me with the small bag containing Frosty’s medications in my hand. Before I can even respond back, she turns swiftly to Frosty and taps Frosty's lap gently.“I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone," she teases, giving her lap a gentle squeeze before she stands up. “I’ll be back tomorrow morning.”“Wait I'll escort you to—”“Don't worry.” Tasha stops her from getting up from the bed. “Just lie back. Also remember to take your meds, alright?”Frosty nods, giving her a soft smile. “Thanks, Tash. For everything.”“You're welcome darling. Goodnight.”They both hug each other before Tasha moves past me, patting my shoulder on her way out.“Take care of her, Leo.”“I will.” T
My Badboy Knight 89. My Ride Or Die.
DIANEI am alive.It has been a few days since the nightmare with Cole. The police officially informed my family that he is fucking dead.He is gone. And so is my nightmare too.Being back in the familiar warmth of my bedroom is pure heaven. I have never liked hospitals, but my stay there was worth it and wasn't boring for me. Crys and Dante always came to see me, Asher dropped by too with lots of dark chocolates. My parents were already with me the next day after I was brought to the hospital.And Tasha, well, she barged in a few hours after my parents first arrived and literally slept in the hospital with me and Leo throughout my entire stay there.The duration was short though, because I didn't sustain deep injuries and was just kept there for a few checkups and to stabilize my health.Now, I am back home, and thank God that I am propped up in my bed, with a cozy blanket draped over my body. Tasha’s boyfriend, Nate, couldn’t come, but he sent his love, as well as a giant, absurdly

LEOIt is fucking scary how the people we love can be ripped away from us so fast in the blink of an eye.A chilling wind whips through the abandoned warehouse district as I pull up to the location that bastard sent to me. Yesterday's passing has stretched my nerves to their breaking point, and every second I spend away from Frosty feels like an eternity of torture since I got that horrifying call.I step out of the car and close the door, my gaze set firmly on the cold bricked structure in the distance.Gripping the money bag tightly,—one million dollars in cash—I feel the leather biting into my skin. My heart pounds, fear clenching in my chest and making it difficult for me to breathe properly.But I can't let my fear and anxiety show. Not with Frosty’s life on the line. Not with that deranged bastard waiting to kill her if I slip up.Detective Kane stands a few blocks away, spying on the area with his team. I don't need to turn to check if he is in position because I know he alread
My Badboy Knight 87. Bastard.
DIANEMy eyes flutter open, my vision still a little blurry as I survey my surroundings.The dimness of this dusty place looms around me, doing nothing to help stabilize my sight. My wrists ache, and I realize that I am tied to the back of a chair, with the cold metal digging into my skin.I struggle against the binding ropes, feeling bruises forming from each twist and pull as I yank forcefully.However, it is pointless.The ropes are too tight, and every time I shift, the chair groans, echoing ominously through the vacant space. Fuck.I can barely wrap my mind around the horror of what is happening to me. Today was supposed to be filled with good news. The new hopeful beginning I now have with my mum. The moment I have dreamed and waited my whole life for.The closure, the forgiveness…No evil omen should have happened today. But now, being here like this, I feel like my life is about to be taken away from me.This situation nauseates me, and my stomach churns at the thought with a

DIANE A WEEK LATER “Mum, I am only here because Dad convinced me so much to give you a chance. And because I want to. I'd hate if it all goes for nothing.”My voice is steady, although the emotions swirling within me now feels like a storm I am barely trying to prevent from crashing all over me.Sitting here with Kate Brandon feels almost like I am watching this moment from the outside of a charred plane of glass. She is settled across from me in the quiet corner booth of the diner I chose, the one where Dante, Crys, and I came to when she first moved into her new apartment.I chose this place because its familiarity feels like a shield of protection, not some alien restaurant that only brings me nausea and tension.My mother looks at me with softened eyes, nodding slowly. Her hands are clasped tightly around her mug of coffee as if it is her lifeline.A small frown is creased across her forehead as she speaks. “Thank you, Diane. I know I don’t deserve this. Not after everything. I.
My Badboy Knight 85. Tell Me Anything.
DIANEI am lying on Leo’s bed, feeling the warmth of his skin pressed against mine as he stretches out beside me. We are freshly showered and now wrapped in each other's arms.His steady breaths match the rhythm of my own, and I am here with him, wearing one of his oversized shirts that does little to hide my ass. The cotton feels soft against my skin, and I'd be lying if I deny that I am not falling in love with him all over again because of how fucking good his familiar scent keeps intoxicating me.Gosh.We both have been quiet for a while, just enjoying the warmth of each other's skins and letting the morning light filter in through the blinds, casting its soft streaks across the room and over us.Leo is my safe haven. He makes baring out my mind and feelings to him so easy and without any fear of judgements.I know I have told him so many things about me, secrets that I don't share with just anyone. And that is because he earned my trust. He didn't take advantage of me when he cle
