Pemenang "People's Choice Award 2019" untuk "Best Diverse". “Sekarang kamu tahu rahasiaku. Itu sangat buruk, Summers.” Dia menyeringai. Seringai kutu buku itu! Dan itu membuatku gila, tapi saat ini, dia terlihat sangat tampan. “Aku gak akan kasih tahu siapa pun,” kataku cepat-cepat, berharap itu memberi jaminan yang dia butuhkan sehingga dia bisa membiarkanku pergi karena meskipun dia terlihat sangat tampan, dia juga tampak berbahaya. Berusaha untuk tidak gemetar, aku menggigit bibirku. Matanya menangkap pergerakanku dan dia membungkuk ke depan, mengisi lubang hidungku dengan aroma ganjanya yang dia hirup tadi. Memiringkan kepalanya, dia berdecak-decak dan tersenyum. “Langkah yang salah.” Setelah itu, bibirnya menyambar bibirku, mengetuk seluruh udara dari paru-paruku. Dia menciumku tanpa ampun. Lidahnya menyelinap ke lipatan kecil dari mulutku, dan pikiranku mendadak kosong ketika kurasakan ujung lidahnya mencumbu lidahku. Mendorongku jauh, dia memperhatikanku dengan tatapan nakal di wajahnya saat dia berkata, “Sekarang aku akan menjadi milikmu.” [ Mengandung unsur dewasa ]
