It stands well by itself but you have created an unsavoury character that will surely grace another plot. A well crafted piece.
I respect the effort to make a MC that is human enough to embrace their evil side as natural. I don't know where this story will go, but the threat of how ruthless the MC can be has been established. History has proven, though, that a man led by his dick has no concept of consequences and therefore they will plunge ahead with blinders fully on, in that pursuit of what that dick wants.
I have no idea yet what chapter 2 is but it will come eventually
I just liked the idea of pairing a complete sociopath, or psychopathic killer, with an innocent. I think he is drawn to her innocence like a moth to a candle and needs it, on a primitive level, to connect himself as human. Being a sociopath he has no morals or empathy but feels no joy and needs her to live those emotions vicarously. And anyone that takes that one sparc of humanity from him, her, will rue the day they were born
Well done. Thank you very much! Truly, this looks as though there may be additional chapters. I hope so, just sayin'.
I'm a fan of the John Wayne, Gail Russell film, so I took a look at your story. My mistake.

well there's 5 minutes of your life you wont get back unless your a slow reader then maybe 10. plus a couple more to post a comment. Youd think the intro would have been enough but some peoples comprehension does fall off quick I consider it a failing of the modern "educational" system
did you make it all the way to the end before figuring out the title was just a cheap rip off? or were you able to save your self half way through?
Great to see you posting again. Alway greatly enjoy your stories. Looking forward to more.
Lol. "James Bond? I think I've heard of you somewhere... Hmmm... Were you friends with Ernst Blofeld or something? I'm sure I heard him speak of you."
At this stage, looks like you have painted yourself into a corner. Will await the next offering, alas without baited breath.
I enjoy reading espionage stories where the protagonist is a sociopath. Authors like Ian Fleming, Donald Hamilton and Trevanian knew their characters had to be sociopaths to function in their positions and while they might not openly admit it, their characters actions demonstrated this. It’s one thing to gun up in full battle rattle, but it is quite another to quietly and unemotionally kill an unarmed person for an idea. Or cash.
I have mixed feelings about such a protagonist as Eric having a spouse. “Down these mean streets a man must go…” and all that. It does create obvious storyline tensions and plot points though. Is Eric hiding his true nature from Traci or from himself? Good start. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes. Maybe it will motivate me to finish one of the several stories I have begun and can’t seem to finish.
I post this link for the Anonymous commentors of criticism for inspiration. I don't mind that you do it but at least try to entertain us along the way

Simms will be the kind of boy that will insist he find out how hot the flame is... this will be a fun ride! 5 stars
I hope to read of your discussions with the trolls posing as "anonymous" on that sex site called "literotica".
Haha, I enjoyed the story, something different and over the top character, like a 1960’s Matt Helm movie, only very very dark. I’m thinking Traci may be a full time job keeping her innocence intact ?
Thanks for writing, made my day.
Love this kind of writing and I'm sure there are few people like our MC in real life. Most are probably part of our governments. You haven't seen anyone associated with Epstein's little adventure prosecuted yet, have you? Some of us are a lot more 'equal' than others. 5 stars
Great beginning. Hope you continue this story. 5 stars from Xluckylee for this part
