Bab Sedikit

Andreas Wirawan, seorang presiden direktur berusia 38 tahun, hidup dalam bayang-bayang duka setelah lima tahun merawat istrinya, Maya, yang koma akibat kecelakaan. Di tengah tekanan pekerjaan dan rasa bersalah yang tak kunjung usai, Maya meninggal dunia, meninggalkan Andreas dalam kehampaan. Suatu sore di sebuah kafe di Thamrin, ia bertemu Lara, desainer freelance berusia 29 tahun yang ceria dan penuh percaya diri. Pertemuan tak sengaja itu membawa sedikit kehangatan dalam hidup Andreas yang dingin. Ketika Lara ternyata menjadi bagian dari proyek besar perusahaannya, SmartGrid, interaksi mereka semakin intens. Andreas, yang awalnya hanya ingin fokus pada pekerjaan, mulai merasakan perubahan—senyum kecil dan obrolan ringan bersama Lara membuatnya melupakan beban, meski hati masih bergulat dengan kenangan Maya. Di sisi lain, Lara, yang menikmati kebebasan hidupnya bersama kucing oren bernama Milo, mulai penasaran dengan sosok Andreas yang misterius namun hangat. Ketika proyek sukses diluncurkan, Andreas mengajak Lara ngopi—langkah kecil yang membukanya pada dua sisi: kesetiaan pada masa lalu dan kemungkinan baru di depan mata. Akankah Andreas menemukan cara untuk melangkah maju tanpa kehilangan jejak cintanya pada Maya? Dan apakah Lara, yang menghindari ikatan, bersedia membuka hati untuk pria yang membawa luka mendalam?

Aku menarik sabuk pengamanku erat-erat, memegang sandaran kursi penumpang dengan satu tangan dan dipeluk erat oleh pria di belakangku sementara aku sedikit menangis tersentak.

Akhirnya aku tidak tahan dan memohon, “Jangan, jangan di sini, ya?” “Jadi ke rumahmu? Hmm?” Suaranya begitu dekat hingga tubuhku langsung melemas saat mendengarnya, aku memalingkan kepalaku, tidak berani menatapnya dan hanya berkata, “Baiklah.”

Di tengah terpaan musim dingin, Seren Eira menemukan pria tampan yang tergeletak di jalanan. Pria itu hampir membeku terbungkus selimut salju. Dengan belas kasih, Seren membawanya pulang dan memberinya nama "Theron", karena dia bilang tidak memiliki nama. Theron bukanlah pria biasa. Meski parasnya begitu tampan, dia dianggap "idiot" atau "setengah-setengah" oleh orang-orang sekitar. Sampai suatu malam, segalanya berubah. Theron yang polos dan lugu tiba-tiba berubah drastis. Pria itu memancarkan aura mengerikan yang tak pernah Seren bayangkan. Seperti predator yang membuka mata setelah tidur panjang. "Siapa kau?" gumam Seren gemetar. "Tak ingat? Padahal wajah ini seharusnya sulit kau lupakan." Mata Theron berbinar dengan ekspresi asing yang terlihat untuk pertama kali. Mulut yang biasanya sedikit terbuka seperti orang bodoh, kini membentuk lengkungan seringai kuat. "Pergilah." Menyaksikan sosok asing yang ada dalam diri pria itu, Seren merasa bulu kuduknya berdiri. "Ke mana aku akan pergi? Apa kau ingin membuang 'lintah' yang telah menghisapmu selama ini? Bukankah kau sangat senang saat aku menjilatmu hingga kering?"

Does it include watching me sleep in the middle of the night? Or your huge one down there having a hard-on whenever you see me in my flimsy nightgown?" with regained boldness, she sassed while pointing at the bump of his pants. Samuel raised a brow in response to her brazenness. "It's just the tip of the iceberg you are seeing, Kamilla. You do not want to know the rest of it," his voice turned icy cold as he gritted every word. "I'm no angel, Samuel Petrov. I can smell your desire since day one, baby" A suggestive sultry smile carves her lips. "Fuck you, Kamilla. Don't call me baby" she was no longer surprise when he swiftly pulled and pinned her on the couch. "It's dangerous" His ragged hot breath fanned her face, and a rock-hard thing was wedged between them.
