Without thinking, I leaned in, my hand reaching to undo his belt while I babbled: "Take them off now! We have to see how bad the burn is!"
He gripped my wrist with a force that knocked the breath out of me.
Traits of agony contorted his face as he ground his teeth audibly, saying in a sharp, faltering tone: "What exactly do you want to see, Julie?"
