I figured that Bailey was mute and now it is clear why. He risked a lot to save Rayne and thankfully it worked out. Harlan has a hardon for Bailey and I think it's probably the first time in his life that anyone has got to him like that...
I wanted to let this story get a head start so I could enjoy reading several chapters without having to wait. I am not disappointed as I enjoyed the first chapter and will see what else is revealed in the next!
