Wayne Bailey wiped her tears, his affectionate and fervent kiss entwining with her tongue...
She cried out, sobbingly, her cries being muffled by his passionate kiss.
Anna Jadwin opened her slightly swollen eyes, staring into Wayne Bailey's vast and beautiful eyes.
If taking his sight meant saving The Sullivans, she would rather give up.
Because he, Wayne Bailey, doesn't owe The Sullivans a thing.
She couldn't even bring herself to hurt a finger of his, let alone take away his ability to see, to perceive the colorful world reflected in his eyes, to leave him navigating blindly through darkness. How could she be so selfish?
The blood-stained dagger was thrown to the ground, making a hollow, absurd clatter...
Wayne Bailey's strong figure pushed down on her, the strength in his waist blunt yet forceful.
He grabbed her slender wrists and placed them above her head: "The gem is before you. Whenever you want it, come and take it."
