You've probably heard stories about how a good girl falls in love with a bad boy or vice versa. However, in this scenario, despite the fact that they were never supposed to be together, they were asked or, more accurately, told to stay away from each other. He had also been informed that "𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐄." It's definitely not a story of a King and his Queen, it's a story of a King and his Knight. And how two people find their way to each other. --- He smirked "Are you trying to seduce me, knight?" he started to play along, he tugged a strand of my hair behind my ear and his thumb caressing my cheek. While his delated orbs never left mine. But I'm not gonna let you win, Ryan, and I'll make sure of it. "Do you want me to seduce you, King?" I seductively remarked raising a brow. He slightly laughed "you can't seduce me, knight" attitude dripping from his voice. I smirked and replied "I'm gonna take that as a challenge" my fingers trailed down to his lips and stopped at his lower lip. "Sure, you have a whole night for it" he smirked. --- IT'S NOT A MAFIA BOOK
