Damian watched Piper leave the room and felt the softness melt away from him. That was good. He shouldn’t be allowing himself even this much luxury. Just because she made his dick feel good wasn’t a reason to fall for her. He had to be better than this. He would get both of them killed if he weren’t.

He wet a cloth in the suite’s small kitchen to clean himself up. He reeked of sex, and it made him feel weak. Distracted. As the smell faded, his sense of purpose focused. He’d blown it off when Piper had commented that he had a talent for killing, but the truth was that he did. He didn’t know if it made him some sort of sociopath or psychopath, but he’d gotten farther in the military because it didn’t hurt him to rack up kills the way it did some men. He was sure those men were better people than he was, and weirdly, he was glad of it. Someone had to be the one to neutralize targets, and better him than some guy who would be going home to a wife and kids wracked with PTSD and unable to get help.

Private security hadn’t fed the monster inside him, the vicious beast that hungered for blood and violence. People always thought of private security as protecting the target from monsters that appeared from a dozen directions. He’d had a few days like that, of course, but most of the time, his days had droned on, standing in front of places with dark glasses and ill-fitting earpieces, exhausting himself by being endlessly on edge. He had started taking jobs on the side, and they were more lucrative than anything he’d done in the legitimate side of business. And his sister needed help.

Someone in his family had to stay alive, and human.

He dressed in dark clothes that would make him blend into shadows without looking like some kind of monster if he had to talk to someone like a guest. No tactical vest or utility belt. Still, he was good at hiding weapons in his shirt sleeves, tucking lockpicks in his belt, and generally keeping whatever he needed on his person whenever he needed to do so.

The water in the shower came on, and he left the room, locking the door behind him. He gave himself one minute to worry about Piper, concerned that she might be in danger without him there to protect her, but he needed to do his job. Long term, that was going to be the best thing for her. Do his job, do it right, and then get them both off this boat and back to the rest of the world. She could go back to her life, and he would do the same.

The boat was mostly quiet now. He heard the music playing in the reception, so there were only a few people left in that space to make noise. Most people would have gone back to their cabins, either to fuck or sleep.
