BEHIND
HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES is a reading companion, by New York Times and USA Today
bestselling author Aleatha Romig, recommended to be read after completing all three
books of the CONSEQUENCES SERIES: Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is
not a standalone book and should not be read as such.
This companion
was written to explore the thoughts and motivations of Anthony Rawlings, the
man behind the consequences. It was not intended as a total rewrite of
Consequences, but meant to enhance the reader’s understanding. BEHIND HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES
contains significant scenes from the novel Consequences, as experienced from
Anthony’s point of view. It also contains never before published, behind the
scenes information, as well as, a glossary of the characters, and a timeline
devoted to the events within Consequences.
BEHIND
HIS EYES—CONSEQUENCES is a dark journey into the mind of the man who believes
that he controls everything and controls nothing. Because there is more to
learn about a man who:
Once upon a time, signed a napkin that
he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very
important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to
own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a
soul.
—Aleatha Romig, CONVICTED
It was a
long and painful acquisition—especially from Behind His Eyes!

“Thank you, Tony,” she replied. “This has
been an amazing night. How can I ever thank you?” He pulled her close, feeling
the pressure of her breasts against his chest. Turning off the riding lights,
he smiled a devilish grin. “I have a few ideas.” Claire’s glance darted toward the dark
glass partition separating the back from the front of the car. Tony
laughed. “I promise we’re alone; Eric can’t see or hear us.” He leaned toward
her. She instinctively reached for his neck and settled onto the long
leather seat. As he hovered mere inches above, he watched her cheeks
flush, and his erection came to life. Over the past few months, Claire had
learned to respond to Tony’s commands—both verbal and none. There‘d been times
when she’d hesitated. It was on those occasions that she earned the
punishment she deserved. Turning his tone more serious, he raised a brow
and demanded, “Now, show me that you’ve followed my rules. I want to
see.” Claire’s immediate response fortified the pride of his
accomplishment. She maintained their gaze as her small hand fumbled for
the hem of her dress. “I can’t reach—”Tony wouldn’t let her finish—he couldn’t.
He needed to taste her. Entwining his fingers in her loose ringlets of
hair, he tilted her lips upward and heard a small moan before his mouth seized
hers. Unable to soften his approach, he took what was his. It wasn’t
enough—he wanted more. When his tongue probed, her lips parted allowing
him to enter her warmth. Tony savored her sweetness as her arms once again encircled his neck. With
his other hand, he reached for the hem of her dress and the cabin filled
with her whimpers of anticipation. He slowly lifted the beaded material
and teasingly brushed her inner thigh. “Open your legs for me,” he
commanded. She obeyed and he continued to caress her soft skin. When her
breathing labored and he neared his destination, Tony stopped. Releasing
her hair, he sat up and gazed down at her blushed cheeks, smudged
lipstick, and nearly exposed body. Grinning, he murmured, “You were amazing
tonight.”Softly, she replied, “Thank you.”Leaning back, he reminded her. “But
the night isn’t over.” His playful tone vanished. “Now, lift your dress
and let me see if you have truly behaved.”Slowly reaching for the length of
material, Claire kept her eyes fixed on his. As the material rose, she
replied, “I promise, Tony, I’ve followed your rules.”He couldn’t help but think
how beautiful she looked—offering herself to him. That, combined with the
sound of her calling him by his personal name, was enough to release the
painful tightness in his slacks. It seemed unreal that he could be on the verge
of exploding, and she’d yet to touch him. Surprisingly, at that moment,
that wasn’t what he wanted. He yearned for something else, and they both knew
his desires came first.
