He's not going to flip out again, is he?" Jessie sounded…
““He's not going to flip out again, is he?" Jessie sounded scared. "What? No, of course not," Mia said automatically. "Uh-huh," Jessie said doubtfully. "He wont," Mia said with confidence, looking directly at Korum. She knew perfectly well that he could hear her. He stared back at her. His eyes still had those dangerous golden flecks in them, but one corner of his mouth tilted up, a ghost of a smile stealing across his face. Mia continued looking at him, her own eyes narrowed, and the smile became a full-blown grin, transforming his features from merely gorgeous to out-of-this-world sexy. Then he turned away and continued speaking to Edgar, as though nothing had happened. "Holy shit," Jessie breathed, her eyes huge. "You did it! Mia, you f***ing did it..." "Did what?" "You tamed a K.””
