“Well, I guess I better put you out of your misery, huh?”
Before he could react, I brought the rock down on his head. Again. And again. And again.
With each hit, I imagined everything he put me through. Not just the physical abuse, though I paid him back for each hit. All the shame he put on me. All the disgust.
He made me feel like I was nothing. Like I was disgusting. Like I was unlovable. Like I should have been ashamed of my sexual nature, then used that same hidden desire in me to try and force me to entertain his friends.
I repaid back everything he did to me. Transferring all of those painful memories and disgusting touches back onto him.
I didn’t stop even after his body went still. I promised myself that I would let everything out on him, and I did.
The only thing that caused me to stop was the sound of gravel shifting. I looked around me to see if any of his men had come, but the beach was empty.
Looking back at the bloodied and ruined man below me, I felt a strong, sickening rush of satisfaction before the dread crept in.
What did I do?
I pushed myself up and off of him, unable to handle the feeling of him on my skin.
I just fucking killed a man. Not just that, Iwantedto.A laugh left my lips. I haddreamedabout this moment, but now that it was finally here—
I leaned over, emptying the contents of my stomach onto the beach.
Exhausted, I fell to my knees.
Think Blake. Think.All this time, I had thought of his murder… but never what would happen after.
I could leave. Walk right up the bluffs and down the main road until someone passes by…but what if it was his men? What if they came back before I could get to safety?
With shaky hands, I crawled over to him and dug out the cell phone that was hiding in his jacket pocket, dialing the only number I bothered to memorize.
The hoarse voice filled the speaker in seconds, and relief hit me like a tidal wave.
“I need your help.”
Quinn
“What do we havehere?” I asked, unable to keep the excitement from filling my voice.
I don’t know what I expected when I showed up to her location, but it sure as hell wasn’t a bloodied and feral-looking Blake after she had bludgeoned her ex-husband to death.
When I shined the light over her, she looked more like a wild animal than a human.
I was hardly keeping myself together when I first caught sight of her, but as those startling emerald eyes locked on me, I found it almost impossible to stay at a distance.
“Now normally I charge for something like this, but for you, I’ll make an exception.”
I turned off the light so she could see it was me and not some random person stumbling upon the crime scene. Normally I wouldn’t doubt her abilities to recognize me, but murder does crazy things to a person’s psyche.
Not only had I seen it mess up the other assassins at the guild, but I had experienced it firsthand as well.
The panic.
The fear.
Theadrenaline.
I climbed down from the bluffs, keeping a watchful eye on Blake. Her eyes told me everything I needed to know. She was scared, upset, and looked like she would run at any moment.
