Jerome’s face was devoid of smiles; he locked his gaze onto Quintessa’s eyes with an intensity that could scorch, “What if I want it right now?”

Jerome’s eyes darkened bit by bit, then a dangerous glint emerged.

He was like a wolf, power coiled tight, ready to pounce, and Quintessa was the prey he had long salivated over.
