Oh, this woman. She would be his undoing.
Saul only wanted to kiss her deeper after hearing her soft little gasp. How could she be so sweet and soft, yet also brutal — if the precision of her dagger throw was anything to go by. And how eagerly she returned the kiss had his body reacting readily. He wanted to claim her. Wanted to let her claim him. But it was steadily growing into more than a want, if the straining against his pants was anything to go by.
And her moan made him weak at the knees. Saul decided he would end the leader quickly so that they could get on with what they both truly wanted.
“You won’t be alive long enough to find out,” Saul replied sharply. He had every intention of making Evaen’s death as short but painful as possible. And as he grew closer, the glaze over Evaen’s eyes became clearer. He was masking the pain. Something Saul was more than able to spot.
He barely listened the Evaen’s words. Instead, he waited until the man lunged. All it took was one smooth motion. Saul deflected the blade and made a jab of his own, aiming right for Evaen’s chest.
His blade was true, and the weapon pierced Evaen’s chest until the Shadowfolk man was entirely run through with it. Then, with their faces near, Saul snarled, “This is for Farah.”
The Specialist effortlessly twisted the blade and jerked it upward to cut as deeply into the weakening man’s chest as he could. Once he was sure Evaen was dead, Saul yanked his blade clean out and let him fall. The weapon was covered in blood as he turned back to Quain and met her eyes.
“It’s done,” he said with a mixture of gentleness and coldness in his tone.
