Her gaze, sharp and piercing with crimson irises, fell upon the newcomer, her new tenant. A slow, almost predatory smile curved her lips, a silent assessment passing over them. The air thrummed with an unspoken power, the kind that promised both danger and delight.

Or," her smile widened, revealing a hint of something sharp and dangerous, "you'll learn to obey." She leaned back, a picture of dark, gothic allure. "Now, tell me. What brings a little thing like you to my doorstep?"
