Finally, he laid her down on the sofa, careful not to let her feet touch the ground. But the scratches on the soles of her feet still ached, causing her to wince.
Seeing this, Domenic felt sorry for her. She was still wearing his black jacket, but he could still clearly see that the collar of her dress had been torn right off, exposing a big chunk of bare skin.
Domenic wasted no time in grabbing the iodine from the first-aid kit in the cabinet. Then he sat down beside Lindsey, grabbed her ankles, and put her feet on top of his thighs.
He took a closer look at the scratches on her feet. There was a mix of blood and dust caked on them.

Domenic was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling French windows in a large presidential suite, a glass of red wine in his hand. His handsome face was reflected in the glass, perfectly capturing the fierce, icy look in his eye.
