Free Sins and Scars (Sinners Book 1) by K. Renee

and now you stick your dick inside of her again like she isn’t some disease infested skank.” She starts to laugh again and I feel Harlyn tense in my arms.  
      “You stupid bitch.” Harlyn growls. She starts to move towards Delilah, but I wrap my arms around her waist and haul her back into my body.  
    “Stav.” She snaps, turning around, pointing her finger into my chest. “She tried to rape you after drugging you. She deserves your wrath more than a lot of people. If you don’t do something, I will.” She grinds her teeth and I can see the fire burning in her eyes. “If it was some man who tried to do the same thing to me, you wouldn’t even hesitate.” She spits.  
    I look over at Romeo and Dex and they both shrug their shoulders. They both know she’s right, and that it’s exactly what I’d do. Hell, it’s what I’ve done before. She knows this, they know this, and I know this. I didn’t even think twice when I went after that fucker that had a knife to Harlyn’s throat.  
    “God, Stavros, you’re so pathetic. You’re letting that bitch run your life and she only just came back.” Before I can stop her this time, she goes charging at Delilah. I watch her fist go into her face and she knocks Delilah and her chair over, continuing to beat the fuck out of her.  
    After a few seconds, I haul Harlyn off of Delilah. She tries to fight me, but I whisper in her ear, “Stop.” She stops fighting instantly, and she goes limp in my arms. “I’ll deal with her. I want you to go back to the room and clean up. You're covered in blood.” Her eyes meet mine, and they widen. Her breathing starts to ramp up, and she starts to hyperventilate.  
    “She okay?” Romeo asks.
    Her legs give out and I pull her body to mine. I should have fuckin’ sent her away. I knew better than this. Picking her up, I put one arm under her legs and the other behind her back. She wraps her arms around me. Burying her face in my chest, I feel the tears as they start to soak through my shirt. “I need to get her cleaned up. I’ll be back.” They both nod and I make my way out of the garage, and towards the clubhouse. People try to stop me when I walk in, but I ignore them, and push my way past everyone. Getting Harlyn into the room is my only concern right now.  
      Opening the door, I take her straight into the bathroom and start to strip her down. When she takes a look in the mirror, she goes ghost white and looks like she might pass out. In all the years I’ve known her, she’s never been one to instigate a fight, and I’ve sure as hell never seen her beat the fuck out of another bitch.  
    “Where did you learn to fight from?” Her eyes meet mine and I can’t really read her expression.  
    “I don’t know. I didn’t think I was capable of that.” She looks down at her hands and more tears start to fall down her face. For the first time, I don’t know how to help her. I don’t know what to do to make things okay for her. She looks heartbroken and in shock with the amount of damage she did.
    “What happens next?” Her voice is awfully low and I’m afraid of her freaking out even more than she just was.  
    “She isn’t going to live. She drugged me. Fuck, she even tried to fuck me while I was drugged. There is no way in hell I would have touched her otherwise, and she’s going to pay for that.” She swallows loudly and she looks like she’s going to be sick.  
    She runs to the toilet and pukes. Grabbing her hair, I keep it out of her face until she finishes emptying her stomach. She sits on the floor and just looks at her hands. I need to get her in the shower now.

Starting the shower, I watch Harlyn carefully. She looks like she’s ready to bolt, but I’m not going to let her. She has no idea what it’s like to kill someone. I’m sure if I didn’t pull her off of Delilah, she would have. Stripping down, I pull her off the ground, and force her into the shower with me. The warm water
