Johnny smoked the wannabe no problem but his cousin Lance couldn't say the same thing about Vince. I watched the race with Johnny and Vince schooled him with ease. I saw the team a few yards and they all cheered when Vince won. Mia was off by herself a little and I decided now was the time to talk to her.

"I'm going to go talk with Mia for a second, okay?"I said turning to Johnny.

"Torreto's sister? No way, we are leaving now," he replied pulling me in the opposite direction. I yanked myself free with a little effort and stopped following him.

"I wasn't asking, I will be back in like ten minutes and we can go then," I said staying confident. He walked over to me and lowered his face so it was only inches from mine. He was accomplishing his mission of trying to intimidate me.

"You are with me, that means I call the shots and you do what I say when I say it." He exhaled deeply and took a step back, cooling off. Clearly he wasn't used to women telling him no but I was not a fan of this dominate attitude all of a sudden. "Now go talk with her but we are leaving in 15 minutes," he said before walking away. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding and headed over to Mia.

"Hey girl," I said tapping her shoulder.

"Oh hey," she replied ignoring me slightly.

"What's up Mia?" I asked not sure why she was acting coldly towards me.

"Where's Tran?" she asked rudely.

"Waiting back with his team, what's wrong with you did I do something?"

"You just disrespected Dom and your only family for a jerk you barley know in front of everyone. I mean Dom is one thing but Vince is all you have and choosing Tran over him well that's just pathetic. Family should be most important," she explained.

"I didn't choose anything. I came here with Johnny so yeah I'm going to leave with him but that's usually how things go."

"It's so clear that when push comes to shove you're going to stay with Tran," she was going to continue but was interrupted when Brian came up from behind her.

"Dom's looking for you," he said to Mia. She nodded and walked off without a second glance at me. It felt terrible to have Mia so angry at me. Brian looked at me for a long second with sad eyes before turning to leave.

"You hate me to then?" I asked in a whisper. Brian turned to look at me and had a subtle hint of a smile at the corners of his lips.

"I could never hate you and I think you are free to do whatever you want with whomever you want but Mia's right family is the most important thing. I'm not saying I agree with Vince but the one thing I do know is that Tran's trouble. Just be careful okay," he said before pulling me into a light hug.

"I will, thanks Brian," I said before heading back over to where Johnny was. He kissed me when I approached. "Hey I think I'm going to ride home with Vince, we have a lot to talk about and I need to sort things out," I said pulling out of his arms. He didn't look very happy with that idea.

"You are coming home with me," he said firmly pulling me back into his embrace. He kissed me roughly and I knew exactly what he had planned, normally I would be down for it but my mind was so far away from that now.

"I really just need to fix things with Vince," I replied pushing him away again. He chuckled slightly but not in a good way, more cynical.

"It's amusing you think you have a choice, now let's go," he said pulling me forcefully by my arm.

"No stop it," I demanded. It was loud enough that some of his team looked over to us. Lace gave a very disapproving look. Before I could turn back around I felt Johnny's hand connect with my cheek. It was fast but painful, he was a strong guy and I was more fragile than I would like to admit. Tears instantly formed behind my eyes. He put his arm around me and I leaned into him for support automatically. I felt the blood rushing to my cheek and it felt like it was swelling.

"Now behave and get in the car," he demanded only loud enough for me to hear. I nodded and he kissed my cheek before releasing me. I slide into the car in a sort of daze. Once Johnny got in and stared the car I looked over to him. He was staring at me.

"Don't disrespect me again," he ordered. I nodded but remained silent. He began driving and we ended up at my hotel, I was relieved he was dropping me off but that feeling was quickly gone once he parked the car and got out. I walked silently hand in hand with him up to my room.

"Get your stuff I don't want you staying here, I want you staying with me," he ordered.

"You don't have to do that. I will be back home soon I'm sure," I told him. He rolled his eyes and walked over to me and I was scared he was going to hit me again.

"Stop arguing and just do it," he said kissing the top of my head. I think he realized my sudden uneasy feeling around him. I nodded too scared to tell him I didn't want to. I quickly packed the bag I brought and decided to call Mia for a 911.

"I just need to use the restroom for a second then we can go," I explained. He was watching me like a hawk clearly making sure I was listening to him. I was scared to take out my phone because the last thing I wanted was for him to take it. He nodded and stood up grabbing my bag before allowing me to move. I tried to casually walk into the restroom and then locked the door quietly.

After three long rings Mia answered her phone and didn't seem happy about it. "What do you want?" she answered.

"Mia you were right and I was wrong and I'm sorry but I need your help. He hit me, smacked me right across the face and now he wants me to stay with him and were talking more than just one night please help, I'm scared and don't know what to do," I explained quickly while starting to cry quietly. Her tone was completely different when she answered.

"Oh my gosh are you alright? I'm sorry I never should have let you go. Okay we need a plan, I have to tell the guys but no way can they get you from his place without some major gun fire. Shit we need a plan now," she mumbled more to herself than me. There was a loud bang on the door and I jumped so high I thought I would hit the ceiling.

"Let's go princess," Johnny yelled.

"Mia I have to go, I will call you when I'm free just save me, but don't let the boys be stupid it's not like he's beating me to a pulp" I whispered before hanging up. I washed my hands and walked out to find Johnny leaning against the door frame. I just needed to calm down and act normal so he would remain calm.

"Ready," I said cheerfully and then pecked him on the lips. I felt fake and worried he might see through it but luckily he didn't know me that well. He put his arm around me and let his hand rest in my back pocket. He grabbed my one bag with his other hand and he led us out. I followed silently and he seemed fine with that.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"I am actually," I replied honestly.

"We can have dinner at a little restaurant by my place," he told me. I realized then that the power I was attracted to was actually him controlling me. He didn't ask because he didn't really care; he told you how things were going to be and that was finale. I just agreed happy to delay the trip to his place. We pulled up to a tiny Italian place and it looked good but I was still having troubled letting go of the fear I now had for Johnny. He pulled me into the place and we were seated in a secluded booth near the back. He pulled me closer to him when I sat with some space between us. He traced his hand lightly over the cheek he had hit.

"Does it hurt?" he asked changing his tone completely. The look in his eyes stunned me; they had melted from stone to sugar. His voice was quiet and caring it actually took me back for a second.

"No, not anymore," I assured him. He smiled and nodded seeming almost reassured. "Why did you hit me?" I asked in a whisper.

"I care about you Anastasia but you have to have respect for those above you meaning men. I'm not trying to be egotistical but you're my girl and when you step out of line you need to be reminded where your place is and that's behind me," he said his voice returning to its confident self. I wanted to hit him at that moment but decided against it. Soon enough I wouldn't have to be around him anymore.

"Of course," I responded biting my tongue.

After we finished the dinner without much talking he ordered a desert for us to share. I was actually excited that he got my favorite chocolate cake. But while we waited for it to be prepared he leaned over and kissed me. I really, really didn't want to kiss him but once I felt his overwhelming presence it was hard to deny him. Just because I no longer liked him doesn't mean I could resist his presence or the fact that I was human and had needs and was turned on when a big strong guy took control when it came to being intimate. I tried and tried to resist him but caved and kissed him back intensely. His tongue traced my lips demanding permission and I parted my lips allowing it. The waiter brought the desert not that either of us noticed for several moments. I pulled away eventually and was no longer hungry for cake. Damn Johnny he knew how to turn a girl on.

"Let's get out of here," Johnny said dropping a hundred on the table and pulling me out of the booth. Once my heart had calmed down I was able to think clearly and remember exactly what kind of guy he really was, I suddenly realized tonight was going to happen either way and I wouldn't be rescued until tomorrow. We made it back to his place in record time and he practically dragged me into his place. He clearly hadn't lost a second of the heat because the second the door clicked closed he tore off his shirt and pulled me close to him kissing me intently again.

"Your body is incredible," he said moving his hands over my entire body slowly. The slow movement caused a low moan to escape my lips. I was trying to stop my body from reacting because in my mind I knew this was wrong and I didn't want it but my body was doing the complete opposite. When Johnny pulled my shirt over my head and began kissing my neck, chest and breasts I was a goner. I pulled him over to the bed and after a few more moments of foreplay Johnny pinned me down and I got dominated just like the time before.

I waited and waited for Johnny to finally fall asleep before crawling out of bed and grabbing my phone. I locked myself in the bathroom and called Mia, she answered right away.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"Yeah I'm good, I didn't mean to freak you out, do you have a plan, and did you talk to the guys?" I asked keeping my voice quiet.

"I did and after they calmed down and realized they couldn't just shoot that place up the only plan could think of is Monday when he takes you to the race, Dom will be able to get you safely then but otherwise I imagine he will be at your side with his gang on his turf so you just need to keep him happy and stay under the radar until then. Sunday should be a slow day so nothing should really happen just be safe Ash, please and I'm sorry I let this happen," she said. It sounded like she was beginning to cry.

"Mia you did everything right, you warned me this is not your fault. Please, please believe this is not your fault I was going to go out with him no matter what. Okay Monday night then I can survive till then, I did grow up with Vince remember," I joked trying to stay calm while reassuring her. She chuckled a little and relaxed her voice.

"You are actually amazing do you know that?" she asked.

"I know. Hey is Vince there?" I asked.

"No he's home but Dom is," she replied.

"Can I talk to him?" I asked.

"Hey baby girl," he said. Hearing his deep voice was the most soothing sound in the world right now.

"Dom I'm so sorry for everything. I messed up and I just hope you won't hate me," I said in a rush.

"How could I hate something as good looking as you?" he said with a chuckle. "Just get back to me safe and we will call it even." He was actually saying everything I needed to hear and I wanted to sneak out right now.

"You going to take me back?" I asked.

"I would steal you back if I had to but yes, I'm looking forward to it," he assured me. I was about to respond when suddenly the door swung open and Johnny was standing in front of me only in his boxers staring me down looking like he was going to kill me.

"Shit I have to go," I said and then hit the end button. Apparently I hadn't locked to door after all and I wasn't keeping my voice quiet. "Hey," I said standing up. He didn't respond right away. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me back to the bedroom and chucked me onto the bed.

"Who the fuck was that?" he asked. My wrist was red because of how forceful Johnny had pulled me. Apparently him hitting me was not going to be his only violent action.

"Mia, she called and I didn't want to wake you so I just went in there," I explained. It was somewhat true. He walked over to me and stood right in front of me. I was very intimidated and tried to think. "She called to make sure I was alright and tell him about some of the drama I missed, I'm sorry I didn't think you would be mad, she is my best friend."

"Mia Torreto? I don't believe you," he said taking my phone and opening it. Luckily I had actually called her number so he couldn't call me out on it. After seeing my last call was her he seemed to ease back a little but clearly didn't believe me completely. I took this moment of silence to try and distract him. I stood up from the bed and lightly put my hands on shoulders. I kissed his chest and then wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have talked to her now. Please forgive me," I said and then kissed his neck. Growing up with Vince had taught me to apologize even when there was no reason. I was actually very good at getting people to believe what they wanted to hear. He relaxed under my touch slightly.

"There is to never be another call to a Toretto in my place or any time you're with me, understand?" he asked.

"Sure of course," I agreed but I was internally rolling my eyes. He kissed my lips roughly letting me know he was in control. I pulled him onto the bed and snuggled up to his chest under the covers. He pulled me close and was soon asleep. I could do this, manipulating Johnny till Monday night could be arranged.
