"Ok, ok. Lilah, truth or dare." Dame asks as he sips his beer from across the living room. 
After setting up all the decorations we bought, and eating the dinner Onyx so thoughtfully made, we all sat down around Kai's fire with drinks to chat. It's something so suburban that I can't help but laugh internally. We are far from anything normal, but in this moment the entire outside world fades away as I take in the carefree nature of the men around me. 
"Hmmm. Truth." I reply. 
After a few rounds of choosing 'dare,' I've decided to play it safe. Kai is shirtless is in nothing but his boxers with a santa hat on and Dame has somehow squeezed into an old lightning mcqueen costume that we found in a box in the basement. 
Mav on the other hand is still sitting in his basketball and sweatshirt because he refuses to pick dare. I shouldn't be surprised—he plays it too safe. My new goal in life is to shatter that control that he keeps so close to his heart. 
I've been able to do it before, but never for something good. I've only seen his control shatter when my life is on the line. It's not something I am necessarily happy about though I do understand why. 
Onyx on the other hand picked dare his first round when Kai asked him and that was his first mistake. He was taunting the devil. After a few shotguns and a whole lot of shots, he was drunk enough to keep pikcing dare. 
Unfortetunely all that got him was a nipple piercing. Now that he's coming down from the liquor he has a Mav scowl on his face from our antics. 
Dame, Kai, and I are still laughing at him, but he doesn't seem to enjoy that. Whatever, I applaud him for taking it like a champ and I guess I'll have to reward him for it later. 
When my eyes fall back on Dame he is staring at me with a contemplating look on his face. If it was Kai I would be a little fearful but I know Dame is a little more tame. 
"Who's the craziest target you've had?" 
I shake my head at the question. Of course Dame would ask something so mundane. I don't know why but I expected all these question to be sexual but so far they've been pretty innocent. 
Ok, I guess I am sitting on the couch in my shorts and a bra, but other than that, it's been PG. 
I take a moment to think, mulling over all the hires I've had. 
"If we're talking high-profile, I guess Senator Stanton. If we're talking most dangerous then probably Kent Branson." 
Mav chokes on his beer, coughing as Kai slams a hand on his back. 
"Fuck Lilah, the senator was you?!" Onyx asks in an embarrassingly high pitched voice. 
I simply shrug and take another gulp of my drink. 
"How'd you manage that?" Dame asks. 
"He cheated on his wife with anyone with a pair of tits so it wasn't that difficult. Obviously he had to keep it hush hush so there was no way to trace it back to me. Honestly probably one of the easiest kills I've done." 
"How'd you actually do it though?" Onyx questions. 
"I fucked him then slit his throat while he was distracted." I say nonchalantly, but apparently that wasn't the smart move because within milliseconds of me finishing my sentence the entire room goes silent. The only sound in the room is the crackling from the fire and the slight wind that hits the windows of the cabin.
