Setelah tidak sengaja mendengar pembicaraan Naja dan teman-temannya itu, tentu saja Yuca meminta putus. Namun, yang Yuca sesalkan pada dirinya sendiri adalah sifat tidak teganya pada Naja.

I looked away, and his touch disappeared immediately. "It was a mistake," I whispered, my heart racing. "What...happened was a-" "I don't do mistakes, Miles," Mr Stark said guiding my eyes back to his. "You should know that by now," I let out a shaky breath when his thumb found my bottom lip again. "Does it bother you that I want to fuck you right now?"
