_ChapterO5

`Shane POV_

I got out of the car and jogged over to the other side to open the door for Carmen and she smiled.

“Thanks babe”

Pulling her out from the car, she landed in my arms when our lips collided, tongue brushing against tongue. The latina let out a soft moan before breaking the kiss and I grinned.

“Come on”

With my arm around her curvy waist protectively we walked into heat, the loud music drowning everything else out.

Luca stumbled up to us and shoved two beers into our hands, a grin on his face.

“Have funnn” and with that he was gone again.

I chuckled and took a hearty gulp of my beer and saw Carmen do the same before we abandoned them and moved to the dance floor. After what felt like forever we decided to leave the club so took off with Luca in tow.

“You two make me absolutely sick” he put his finger in his mouth to prove the point and the latina in my arms giggled, slapping his arm.

“Don’t be a bitch”

“Ahh, the lovebirds with an idiot to accompany them” a voice said.

The three of us spun around to see Louis Morales standing before us, smirk plastered on his thin lips.

“Glad to see you McCutcheon”

“Morales” I spat, reaching for my gun but found nothing.

Carmen was scared outta her mind as she clutched onto my arm tightly and Luca stood beside me, helping shield the brunette.

Luca and Morales glared, their guns pointing at one another and I noticed I still had three knifes strapped to my ankle.

My best mate pulled the trigger and I pushed Carmen to the road behind a car and reached for a knife, about to throw it at Morales when Luca fell to his knees.

I turned to the raven haired man to see blood pouring from his chest, two men standing behind him and I dropped down next to him.

“Luca, talk to me!” I pressed my hand down on the gun shot wound.

He choked on his own blood in reply, shaking me by my collar with whatever strength he had left.

“C-Carmen” he muttered, red slipping down onto his chin.

Fuck.

I put Luca down onto the floor before rushing over to Carmen only to feel a piercing pain at my stomach and then my shoulder. The men forced me to my knees, and the knife in my hand fell to the floor when I saw Morales holding a gun to Carmen’s head.

“Your friends dead already, I wonder what’s gonna happen if I put a bullet in this bitch’s head?” he sneered.

He pushed the 23 year old forward until they were directly in front of me and one of the men pulled my head up by my hair, forcing me to watch.

“Bet you’re gonna enjoy this show” he hissed.

All I could see was the fear in her eyes, begging me to help her, save her…

The next thing I knew, my vision was blinded by red which I knew was blood.

“No!” my whole body jerked up and my eyes fluttered open.

Sweat covered my skin and my breathing was labored as I put a hand to my stomach.

It was dry, no blood.

I turned to my right to see Carmen with her eyes closed, snoring lightly.

With my shaky hands I let my fingers touch her face, trailing from her eyebrows to her lips, just to let me know it was just a dream.

“Just a dream” I whispered.

“Oh god Shane, harder” she murmured.

I raised a brow before the corner of my lips curved upwards ever so slightly.

But my thoughts went back to my dream, me and Carmen were simply fucking, no strings attached right?

So why exactly am I scared-no, why do I even care?

I got up and slipped into my briefs and singlet before reaching into my pant pockets to retrieve a half smoked pack of cigarettes.

I sat on the edge of the bed with the cigi in my mouth when I remembered that I didn’t have a lighter anymore so sat there with the cancer stick hanging from my mouth, occasionally looking over my shoulder at the brunette.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice Carmen was awake until I felt her arms wrap around my body from behind.

“Hey, how’s your shoulder?” she asked gently.

“I’ll live” I replied,

“Don’t smoke, it doesn’t smell all that great” she pulled it away from my mouth and put it on her dresser before kissing my neck, with tongue.

My eyes closed and I growled as I pulled at her hair to lift her head up so our lips could meet.

I turned my body around and pinned the younger girl to the bed with her naked in all her glory. Letting my eyes scan over her luscious body, grinning at her hard nipples and the shiny wetness waiting for me.

Carmen dragged her fingers from her hips up between the valley of her breasts through half lidded eyes, heavy with arousal.
