When Damien walked Cynthia into the hospital the next morning, she was a wreck. He could see it in the way she twisted her fingers in the strap of her overnight bag, the jiggle of her dainty knee, the set of her mouth. Wanting to alleviate her nerves, he did the only thing he knew to do. He kissed her

Pulling her into him, he lowered his head until it was an inch from hers and said, “Don’t worry. Medicine has come a long way. At least they’re not draining your blood to get rid of the tumor, like they did in the sixteenth century.” Hardly something romantic to say, he knew, but he was going for humor, dark as it was, hitting her logical mind as best he could.

It seemed to work, since she tangled her fingers in his hair and pulled him toward her for the kiss. As their lips met, Damien was swept into his own head, trying to pigeon hole this sensation into a place where it made sense.

He’d been created to deceive believers, to find the non-believers, and he’d gotten some sort of joy from the job. In fact, he wasn’t created to feel anything, but he’d definitely gotten some sense of satisfaction from his work. So much so, that he’d been cast down for getting carried away with himself. After that, he’d spent thousands of years preying on people’s misery, fouling things up for the good of the Earth, finding his own sense of joy in foiling The Boss’ plans. But the joy and satisfaction he’d received had been child-like compared to the last twelve hours.

As he kissed Cyn, her tiny, warm tongue slipping into his mouth, her teeth nibbling on his lips, suckling on his tongue. He tasted her. She tasted of summer and warmth. She took him to another plane altogether. If he’d gotten joy from his previous assignments, it was an immature, one-dimensional joy. Cyn gave him a pleasure so multi-faceted, so mature in its intensity, he couldn’t wrap his feeble head around it.

It was so overwhelming he didn’t notice the tiny tingle at the base of his skull, the sensation he should have been more open to, the sensation of fear. He was too wrapped up in Cynthia and her kiss.

Damien pulled her tighter against his body, feeling her petite curves under his fingers. He was oblivious to his surroundings, and instead relished the curve of her backside while she clenched his biceps. She was trembling in his arms, and at first he thought it was remnants of last night’s passions. After the first time they’d made love, animalistic and needy, he’d slowed himself down and managed to savor the experience, delighting in her reactions to his touches and kisses. He’d actually made love to her, a new thing for him, and something he planned to do a lot more of.

But when something slipped into the edge of his mouth during their kiss, he realized the warm saltiness was her tear.
