Lahat ng Kabanata ng Entangled With The Bad Boy: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

AVAAt this point, I swear he’s just trying to rage bait me and it's enough to make me snap and crash out on him in the damn library. But I won’t give him what he wants. I won’t let him win.I arch a brow, meeting his gaze, refusing to look away even as his eyes pin me down. “And since when do arrogant bastards read?” I shoot back, voice low but sharp.The words slip out before I can stop them, but I don’t regret it. If I can’t yell, at least I can throw a few well aimed insults his way.“Even arrogant bastards can wake up one day and decide to try something new,” Kai shoots back, his tone infuriatingly smooth, like he's not the least bit affected by my jab.I narrow my eyes. “If someone’s arrogant and also a bastard, then maybe the next thing they should try is therapy.”If he thinks he can just show up in my space and act all calm and collected, like he didn’t shatter me two nights ago, then he’s got another thing coming.“Is this how you're supposed to treat someone who’s just here

KAII ignore the constant beeping coming from my phone on the bedside table. I don’t even have to look. I already know who's blowing up my phone.Fucking Jason.He’s acting like me not wanting to go out tonight is a sign of the apocalypse. Like the earth is going to split open if I skip one party. He’s already sent three voicemails and God knows how many texts, something about how I am acting weird and this is exactly how people sound when they get possessed by demons.Dramatic that much?The thought of chasing a high just to forget for a few hours feels exhausting to even consider. There's no thrill in it right now. I just don’t want to party and get high. I’m not in the mood for any of it. I haven’t been in the mood since two nights ago.I'd rather stay planted here by the window, eyes locked on the house across from mine. Her curtains are still closed. They have been shut since I got back from training.Where the hell is Ava? Is she going to return the watch?Truth is, I don’t give

KAI Ava’s gaze drops to my hand that's right there between us, hanging in the air. She bites her bottom lip, and I can see the war happening behind her eyes. It's like her mind is telling her not to. But her body? Her heart? I can tell they want me so bad. And I get it. I really do. To be honest, I don’t expect her to just fall into me like she used to. I don’t expect a smile or some easy, pretty moment where everything just fits again. I hurt her. I fucked up. I know that. But God, if she pulls back and turns away from me now, I don’t know what the hell I’ll do with myself. Because being near her and not touching her is already driving me insane. I never thought I was capable of wanting someone this much, not until her. Well, this girl with pretty honey brown eyes has reached into places in me that I didn't even know were there. “ I know I was a piece of shit and I hurt you, “ I start and her eyes flick up to mine, sharp and soft all at once. “ But don't run from me tonigh

AVA I nod. “ Alright.” As if he knows exactly what I am thinking, Kai leans closer, his hand sliding to my jaw, and fingers tracing the line of it. “I adore you.” Before I can even process the words or the blush that’s spreading across my face, his lips are on mine. Soft at first, teasing me, then firmer, claiming all of me. My pulse races as I tilt into him, closing the distance between us, leaning harder into the kiss, and tasting his lips. His exhale hits mine like he’s been holding it in for too long. His lips move slowly and soft at first, like he’s taking time to explore every inch of me. Then the kiss deepens, still soft and heavier. Our lips move together like we own this moment, like nothing else exists and we've got all the damn time in the world and right now, we do. Kai’s hand slides to my waist, trying to pull me closer, but the car’s tight space keeps us from fully melding. “Fuck this,” he breathes against my mouth. “Just come here.” The heat in his voic

AVAMy eyes snap open as a tiny ray of sunlight slips through the curtains, cutting across the sheets. I turn to the other side of the bed, half asleep, expecting to see him there. But it’s empty. I blink again, even squint like maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but no. He's not there.Where’s Kai?I push myself up from the bed, a dull ache humming through my thighs. My eyes wander around the room — it’s neat, the air smells clean, not heavy with sex anymore, just that faint trace of his cologne lingering in the air. Just like that, every memory from last night hits me all at once.I had sex.I freaking had sex. Not just with anyone, with Malakai Cooper.And God, I loved it. Every second of it. If anything, I want more.I remember the way he held me after, both of us still catching our breaths. The shower that followed, the warmth of the water running down our skin as his gentle hands washed me. Then the way he carried me back to bed, his arms wrapped around me and I drifted to
