"I'm not worried. I just don't want harm to come to anyone."

He moved her off his lap, so she sat next to him. "I am not a killer by nature," he said softly. "I do not covet what I do. It is a job, and not one I applied for."

"Sinclair, I'm not implying."

He held his hand up, stopping her. "I don't expect you to understand. It's why The Watch typically forbids relationships. What I do seems very distant, cruel, but it's very personal and I do not dehumanize the lives I take. But I don't have regrets, either. There is a war that rages out there between good and evil, and I've prevented the harm and killing of innocents. Men like Sokolov," he glanced at her and she could see the pain in his face, "what he did to you, while I sat outside in my car as it was happening." He shook his head. "No, they deserve the justice they are given."

She reached out and touched his arm. "I don't blame you for what happened to me and I'm not judging you."

"I can't forgive myself for what happened to you." He gave her a sad smile. "Let's go to bed. We've still got tomorrow to get through. And don't worry about Michael. I don't just go around killing people. That's not how it works."

He picked her up, the blanket falling to the floor, and carried her into the bedroom. She wondered what stood between them now. Was it nothing more than the recitation of some forced vows or was there possibly something deeper?

"I can hear you thinking," Sin said, placing her on the bed.

"I was remembering the first time you kissed me."

"Aye, I shouldn't have done that." He lay down next to her.

"Why did you stop?"

"I wasn't expecting your reaction. I was only hoping to scare you at the time. I knew the danger you were in and I needed you to obey me. But when I looked down, you looked at me like no one has ever looked at me before. It surprised me." He ran his fingers over the swell of her breast and down her stomach. "The liberation of my darling girl."

He pinned her arm over her head as if it were handcuffed and kissed her. It was rough, the restraint he showed her before gone, as he took possession of her. She knew his intention, this lesson would teach her who was in charge. She looked up at him, expectant and willing.

"There it is. The same look." His cock rubbed her entrance as he pushed into her. "Only this time I won't stop."
