Little Sin - S01 E27

Read Story: SEASON 1 SEASON 27

{Night / Abandoned warehouse }

It was already night, the place smelled of rust and dried blood. The old warehouse was half-collapsed, the air thick and damp. A bare bulb swung overhead, buzzing.

A lot of men gathered around, holding guns and daggers. In the middle, Isabel was tied to a chair. Her mouth was covered with a dirty rag, her eyes swollen and wet with tears.

“Uhm… Uhm… Uhm!” Isabel tried to speak. It was useless. More tears slipped from her eyes. Her wrists twisted against the rope, trying to get free, but the rope only cut deeper into her skin.

One of the men stepped closer, his eyes crawling over her.

“What a beautiful body. Too bad she’s getting wasted,” He said, smirking. The others burst into laughter.

Isabel squeezed her eyes shut, her lips moving silently behind the gag. She was praying.

“Look at her. Poor little thing,”Another one mocked, leaning in.

A tall man with a scar on his cheek checked his watch and lifted his gun.

“Let’s not waste any more time. We were paid good money to do this,” He said, pointing his gun straight at Isabel’s forehead.

Isabel’s eyes flew open. She shook her head , tears streaming down her face. A choked sob escaped her gag. Then she closed her eyes tight, waiting for the shot.

Just as his finger tightened on the trigger.

BANG!

A single gunshot cracked through the warehouse. The man stumbled forward and collapsed to the floor, blood pooling from the back of his head.

Isabel flinched. She thought she had been shot. But there was no pain.

Slowly, she opened her eyes.

Shane stood at the entrance, breathing hard. Blood covered his hands. A pistol smoked in his grip. Behind him, two bodies lay motionless by the door. He had deal with the ones outside.

Isabel’s eyes widened.

Shane’s gaze locked on Isabel, then shifted to the remaining men. His jaw clenched. He balled his fists.

“You son of a bitch!” one of the them roared, raising his weapon. “You just made the worst mistake of your life! That stunt will cost you your dead body!”

He tried to shoot, but Shane was faster.

BANG! BANG!

Shane fired twice. The man staggered back and dropped.

Another man lunged at him, swinging a bladed club.

Shane caught his arm mid-swing, his grip like iron. The man shook, struggling, then lost his hold. The weapon clattered to the ground.

Shane didn’t hesitate. He fired a shot into the man’s arm. The man groaned painfully and dropped to his knees, clutching his shoulder.

Shane grabbed him by the collar and shoved him hard to the floor.

“No one touches what’s mine and gets away with it,” Shane growled, his voice low and dangerous.

He looked up at the rest of them, chest heaving.

“Who’s next?”

Silence for a second. Then another stepped forward, spinning a dagger casually on his palm, a cruel smile on his face.

“Adios, motherfucker,”He sneered, and went straight for Shane’s heart.

Isabel screamed through the rag in her mouth.

In a flash, Shane move aside and caught the man’s wrist. He twisted it, turned the blade around, and drove it into his chest.

He gasped, eyes wide. He stumbled back and collapsed.

Isabel’s eyes widened, her face going pale.

Shane stared down at him, breathing hard.

“Too bad,” Shane said coldly. “I was going to say the same thing to you.”

From behind, another one charged, swinging a large wooden bat with nails.

Shane didn’t even look. He reached back, caught the man’s arm in mid-air, spun around and slammed a hard punch straight into his gut.

The man groaned in pain.

Shane grabbed the bat from his hands and struck him down with the handle, knocking him out cold.

Shane dropped the bat ,the whole men dead and gone.

The warehouse fell silent, except for Isabel’s cries and Shane’s heavy breathing.

“Isabel!” Shane shouted, rushing toward her.

He fell to his knees in front of her chair and tore the gag from her mouth.

“Shane…” Isabel gasped, her voice broken and hoarse.

“I’ve got you. I’ve got you now,” He whispered and untied her ,Isabel quickly stood up and hugged Shane.

“I was so scared Shane ,I am glad you are okay.”Isabel muttered.

“I… finish… my job.”One of them with a dagger in his chest said ,remove the dagger from his chest and tried to kill Isabel but Shane took it and it went straight into his arm.

Shane shot the man instantly ,he collapsed to the floor.

“SHANE !!!”Isabel screamed and checked his injury ,his hand was bleeding.

Isabel made Shane sit ,she tore off a piece of her dress and tried it around his wounded arm.

“Nothing will happen to you.”Isabel said with tears,shane smiled cleaning her tears.

“First time little sin is crying for me.”Shane said and Isabel hit his chest.

“What are you talking about ?I won’t forgive myself if anything actually happened to you.”

{ Shane Mansion }

Isabel helped Shane inside and guided him to the edge of the bed.

“Sit,”She said softly.

He sat down, wincing a little. She knelt in front of him and unbuttoned his shirt, carefully sliding it off his shoulders.

She rushed to the drawer and brought out the small first aid box. Shane just sat there, watching her with a tired but tender smile.

She came back to him, opened the box, and started cleaning the wound gently.

He watched her hands tremble.

“Thank you,” Isabel whispered without looking up. “Thank you for saving me, Shane.”

“You were crying for me,” Shane whispered, his voice low. “And now you’re bandaging.”

That sent a shiver down her spine.

She finished wrapping the bandage, her fingers brushing his skin.

“Shane… how did you find me?”She asked.

“I tracked your number,” He said. “Little sin. Nothing is going to happen to you while I’m around. Never.”

Isabel smiled, tears still in her eyes.

“You look like a mess too,” Shane said, standing up slowly. He walked to his closet and tossed her one of his big hoodies. “Here. Put this on. You’re staying here tonight. I’m not letting you go back alone.”

Isabel caught the hoodie and got into the bathroom.

*****

A few minutes later, she came out. The hoodie was small for her, barely covering her ass, her hair damp. She looked small and soft in his clothes.

Shane stared at her for a second and forgot how to breathe.

She sat next to him on the bed, fidgeting with her fingers.

“Does it still hurt?” she asked quietly.

“No. Not anymore,” Shane whispered, looking at her. “Thanks to you.”

The room went quiet.

“I’ll sleep on the couch,” Isabel said quickly, standing up.

Before she could take a step, Shane reached out and gently pulled her back. She landed softly beside him, their faces very close. She could feel his breath.

“I want you next to me,”He whispered. “I won’t be able to sleep if you are not beside me.”

He tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

“I promise I won’t do anything. Just stay.”

Isabel looked into his eyes and nodded slowly.

They lay down together. Shane pulled the blanket over them both and carefully wrapped his arm around her, pulling her into his chest. She rested her head on his shoulder.

“You feel so soft,” He whispered in her ear.

Isabel’s heart was pounding through her chest.

Shane lifted her chin gently with his finger, so she was looking up at him. His eyes dropped to her lips.

“Can I?”He asked softly.

Isabel didn’t answer with words. She just closed the small distance between them.

Their lips met slow, warm, it deepened the moment Shane slide his tongue into her mouth and she let him, the kiss wasn’t rushed. It was careful, sweet and gentle ,Too gentle for a devil.

Isabel broke the kiss ,but their lips were touching.
