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!

beginning of the end...coffee? - January 2012
(Consequences—Chapter 46)
When Tony crawled back into his bed, he slid behind
Claire’s sleeping body and wrapped her in his arms. She fit perfectly as he was
drawn to her radiating warmth. Gently kissing her hair, he tasted her perfume
as his hands wandered her curves, caressing her soft skin. Her soft murmurs
filled his heart with hope as she settled into his embrace. Smiling, Tony
imagined that in a few days he’d have his wife on a sunny beach with nothing
more than a bikini—maybe not even that. Those images and more filled his mind
as he drifted off to sleep.
When he woke, Tony lingered longer than usual in the
warmth of their bed. Being much too early for Claire to wake, he lifted his
head, rested it on his elbow, and watched her sleep. Her lightened hair covered
her pillow as renegade strands crisscrossed her exposed cheek. Along with her
exposed face, one bare shoulder was visible above the mound of luxurious
blankets. Tony leaned closer, kissed her forehead, and watched in amusement as
her nose wrinkled. Lightly, he kissed her again. This time he was rewarded with
the most beautiful moan as she stretched and turned toward him. Although Claire
was still sound asleep, she subconsciously responded to his touch. He wanted to
wake her, but he feared that if her warm soft skin touched his and they
connected their bodies, as they’d been connected the night before, he wouldn’t
be able to carry out his plan.
Brushing the strands of blonde from her face, he
whispered, “You don’t need to wake, yet.” When she didn’t respond and he was
confident of her sleeping, he added, “You have a big day, my dear. You need
your rest. Tonight we’ll celebrate.”
Throughout Tony’s morning routine, he avoided thoughts of
Claire’s impending examination. To him it was merely a formality—the final
signature on their life long contract. The deal was already complete; she
belonged to him—she wouldn’t disappoint.
She knew better; because, if she did, he’d promised
consequences. And Anthony Rawlings was a man of his word.
