Title: Behind His Eyes
Author: Aleatha Romig
Release Date: January 14, 2014
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 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. BHE-Consequences
contains significant scenes from the novel Consequences, as experienced from
Anthony’s point of view. It also contains never before read, 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!

The Symphony - Late May 2010
(Consequences—Chapter 8)
“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.
