Daniel remained in the shadows. It was where he was comfortable, but that didn’t mean his presence wasn’t known or felt. This was Stavros’ show and Daniel wanted him to have it. To have any—and every—thing he wanted or needed.

Stavros had been the one tortured.

Revenge was his to take and however he went about getting it, Daniel would be at his side. Or in this case, in the corner, his back against the wall as Stavros stood in the middle of the living room. The blinds were closed, curtains drawn to make sure nobody could see inside, and a nearby table lamp had been turned on, casting the room in a dull yellow light. They’d brought everyone in the house downstairs and tied them to chairs placed in a circle. The tapes over their mouths muffled their cries as they all begged for their lives.

Stavros’s shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows as he turned around slowly, taking them all in. He was in his element here, in the tempered violence, his face a mask of concentration, eyes gleaming. Daniel couldn’t take his eyes off him. Stavros didn’t speak, didn’t give any of the five people tied up an explanation for what was about to happen beyond telling them they were gonna die.

If he were a smoker this would be the moment he lit a cigarette.

He wanted to get his hands on Alan, but he wanted to watch Stavros more. His lover had all his attention on a regular day, but in this place, with that edge to his features and the blood-thirsty gleam in his eyes, he forced Daniel’s scrutiny, kept him captive and locked on to his every move. He had Daniel fascinated with even the way he breathed, the calm way his chest rose and fell.

He didn’t hear the silencer at first. The muted sound didn’t register, but the old woman’s head jerked backward then slumped forward. The muffled cries kicked up, terror as thick as the blood trickling down from that bullet wound.

Daniel licked his lips.

One by one, Stavros put a bullet between the eyes of the old man, then Celeste’s brother. Celeste screamed behind the tape at her mouth, so pale her skin was practically translucent, tears pouring as she struggled against her bonds. Daniel had been the one to tie her up, so she wasn’t going anywhere.

Except to the morgue.
