My Badboy Knight 78. Not Anything More.
DIANEI feel like shrinking into whatever invisible shell I can fucking find on planet Earth.My chest is tightening, my heart thudding loudly as Leo just stands there at the door, our eyes locked on each other. There is something in his gaze, something sharp and unreadable.But it is gone just as quickly as it appeared.He walks towards Crys and I before dipping his hand into the basket. His attention flicks away from me as he gives Crystal's soda to her.“Here you go.” He offers it to her, his voice gentle and warm despite the slight edge I sense in it.“Thank you Leo.” Crys accepts the soda from him. When he offers me a bottle of water from the basket, I take the drink from him without meeting his eyes, my heart still pounding in my chest. His hand brushes mine for the briefest moment, and it feels like a jolt of electricity shoots through me, making it impossible to focus on anything.I am really screwed.Leo moves away to settle on a spare seat near Dante, and Crys opens her soda
My Badboy Knight 79. Stolen By Someone Else.
FEAR has two meanings: Forget Everything And Run' or 'Face Everything And Rise.' The choice is yours.- Zig ZiglarDIANEMy blood pulse is racing in my veins despite my seemingly calm relaxed composure from where I am seated across from Asher at the restaurant I chose for our ‘date.’Newsflash: It is not a fucking fine dining restaurant. I do hope I conquer my trauma of fine dining restaurants someday.My nerves are twisting into tight knots every time I take a silent shuddering breath, and I am starting to feel that my V-neck strapless midnight blue sequin gown is now too tight and clingy for me.Come on Diane. Relax. I mean the atmosphere is perfect—the beautiful lighting, the soft hum of conversations around us, the music, and the soft clinking of silverware cutleries against plates.They all are really trying their best to create the perfect soothing mood meant for everyone here. In fact, this is supposed to be the kind of evening that any girl on a date would consider to be ‘fant
My Badboy Knight 80. Point Of No Return.
DIANE The cool night air hits my skin the instant I arrive outside the restaurant. Quickly, I wave down a cab, and as I step into it, I glance back at the restaurant one last time. Asher Ford has my respect forever. No questions asked. The cab ride home feels like a blur. I stare out the window, the city lights flashing by, my heart pounding in my chest. I feel a strange mix of emotions—relief, guilt, and a heart pounding fear. Earlier, I had to be honest with Asher Ford, but now I have to face Leo King. What if I reveal my feelings and it all slaps me back in the face? What if Leo doesn’t feel the same? The thought claws at my chest, my bones, even my breathing is shuddering with every minute that passes. I am clearly on my way home now, but I don’t think I have what it takes to tell Leo how I feel. So much for being the one who encouraged Crys to go for who she wants. Things like this are always easier said than done. The cab finally pulls up to the condo building, and I s
My Badboy Knight 81. Good Girl.
DIANE I blink at him, completely caught off guard for a split second before he stands up abruptly and begins pacing in front of the couch, his hand buried in his hair once again as he continues. “It has been hard for me watching you, being so close to you, but never being able to say or do anything because I thought you didn’t feel the same. It’s been pure torture, Frosty.” I stand up quickly too, my heart pounding in my chest as his words sink in. “You... you feel the same way about me?” He stops pacing and turns to face me, his eyes burning with an intensity I have never seen before. “Yes. Yes I do. I’ve been in love with you for as long as I can remember. I love everything about you, Frosty. Everything. You're like a dream I don't want to wake up from. Having you by my side mattered to me more than my feelings, and I just didn’t want to complicate things between us. I… I didn’t want to lose you.“ “You’re not going to lose me, Leo.“ I take a shaky step toward him, my hands tremb
My Badboy Knight 82. Make Me Yours.
DIANE Leo chuckles darkly as he tightens his grip around my thighs, effortlessly carrying me as if I weigh nothing. I feel weightless in his arms, completely at his mercy, and I don’t mind it one bit. I trust him.My heart is racing with excitement and anticipation, my laughter bubbling up as I squirm in his hold.“Leo put me down already!“ I slap his back playfully.“Not a chance, Frosty.” The bastard chuckles again, and I can feel his back muscles flexing and tensing beneath my hands as he moves, his strength obviously undeniable.“You're crazy.” I whine.“And whose fault is that?”I feel a thrill rush through me at the deep baritone of his voice, and before I know it, we are in his room. I may be upside down now, but I can tell from what I am seeing so far that Leo is really living like the fucking King that he is in here. My body is too needy to allow my eyes explore further, and Leo kicks the door shut behind us. He carries me to his bed and gently lowers me onto the mattres
My Badboy Knight 83. Tit For Tat.
DIANE Fuck. Watching me with a look of pure lust and satisfaction in his eyes, he sucks his fingers clean before pulling them out and gently caressing my thighs. He moves up the bed, and I scoot back, making space for him. When he settles between my legs, his body hovers over mine, his lips still glistening with my arousal. I feel a flush of heat rise in my cheeks at the sight, my heart still pounding in my chest. "You taste just as wonderful as you are." He whispers, his voice soft now, filled with affection. I smile weakly, my heart still racing, and I reach up to touch his face, my fingers tracing the strong line of his jaw. “Kiss me.” I whisper, still wanting to feel his mouth, still craving to feel all of him pressed against all of me. His eyes are filled with warmth and something deeper—something that makes my heart ache with love for him. He leans down and claims my mouth, and I melt into him, savoring the possession of his mouth engulfing me and stealing my breath aw
My Badboy Knight 84. Like I Hate You.
DIANEWaking up, I feel the warmth of Leo's body behind me, his arm draped across my waist, his breathing slow and steady on my back. The memory of last night floods my mind instantly, and a blush spreads across my cheeks.My muscles ache pleasantly, a reminder of everything we did last night. I never imagined things would easily go this way, but now that they have, I am going to savor every bit of it.I turn slowly just to watch him for a moment, hoping not to wake him.His face is hauntingly beautiful and relaxed, his dark lashes resting against his cheeks, and his lips slightly parted. He looks like some ethereal angel sent from the heavens to be here with me, and this is a side of him that I have never seen up close before—so calm and peaceful.My moment of admiration doesn’t last long. Leo’s eyes flutter open, and a sleepy smile tugs at the corners of his mouth as he notices me watching him.“Morning, Frosty.” He murmurs, his voice husky with sleep, his hand tightening around my
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

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. Asher.And the king of all, my Leo King.He is seated beside Marissa, looking so dashing and magnificent in a dark blue tailored suit with a seductive smile added to his smexy appearance.

My Badboy Knight 90. All I Will Ever Need.
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
My Badboy Knight 88. Running Out Of Time.
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
My Badboy Knight 86. In My Arms.
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.
