You racing or not?

Three months later the team had gotten back to their usual selves. Life was better than could be hoped and they honoured Jesse by praying to the 'car gods' every now and then. Letty and Leon had finally decided that they were going to give their relationship a chance. Dom was hesitant at first but knew that Letty wanted Leon and not him. Letty moved out of Chris' room and into Leon's. It was Friday night and they were getting ready for the races.

"Come in!" Chris shouted hearing a knock at the door. Dom entered and saw her dressed in some cargo pants and a black wife beater; he struggled to comprehend how she could look so gorgeous dressed so plainly.

"Hey, you racin' tonight?" Dom asked watching her every move as she sauntered from the closet to the bed.

"Uh yeah, if ya don't mind." Chris shrugged as she bent down to tie her bootlaces. Chris had raced before he came back and along with Brian won most races. Now that Dom was back, he was king of the races again and the team simply followed.

"I'm askin' if you want to. You don't need my permission Chris." Dom retorted to her sarcasm.

"Yeah right." Chris said under her breath, just enough for Dom to hear. Not wanting to turn it into a fight he grabbed her from behind and held her to his chest.

"Take that back." Dom whispered into her ear, his lips brushed against her ear and she felt his warm breath on her neck. She froze and tried to swallow the lump in her throat.

"Fine. I take it back." Chris said hoarsely as she turned her head and gazed at him. Dom licked his lips preparing to kiss her.

"We goin'?" Vince asked leaning on the doorframe. Dom whipped around to look at Vince; he somehow felt that he was caught doing something he wasn't supposed to.

"Hey Dom…" Chris said walking past Vince.

"Yeah?" Dom looked at her.

"I don't ever take anything back." Chris smiled and winked before running downstairs.

"That woman's gonna kill me." Dom growled as Vince gave him a questioning look. Dom and Chris had become friends, they became just as close as her and Vince were and if he was honest with himself, he hated it. He did love the fact that whenever she had a choice between spending time with one or the other, she'd pick him; he knew it was simply to piss Dom off but he got to spend time with her. Dom walked downstairs and saw Letty and Chris playing on the PS2. "Let's go!" He yelled at everyone in the house. The team went outside to their cars and drove to the races.


Upon their arrival, the crowd split allowing their cars to get through. As soon as Dom got out men and women alike were trying to get his attention, but he turned back to his team and saw Chris getting out. Guys approached her and she flirted; he hated seeing that but he knew she wasn't his. The crowd gathered and Hector walked over.

"Dom, how're ya man?" Hector asked as he shook Dom's hand.

"I'm good, what's the buy in?" Dom asked.

"One race, 4G buy in." Hector answered.

"I'm in!" Edwin said handing the cash to Hector. "Chris you racin' mama?" Dom turned to see Chris by his side. She looked at Dom, then back at Edwin.

"Yeah I am." Chris said in defiance. Dom smiled.

"Not with us." Dom said; the DT team never raced against each other. Just as Chris was about to protest; thinking Dom wasn't going to let her race he spoke. "But she'll kick your ass in the second race." Dom quipped at Edwin hoping he just sold a second 4G race he was sure Chris would win.

"You can kick my ass anytime baby." Edwin licked his lip and Chris rolled her eyes.

"Alright, two races tonight. 4G buy in each!" Hector yelled to the crowd and racers bought in. "Let's go!" Racers ran to their cars and drove to the city. They lined up their cars stretching a mile down the street. Leon parked with Letty and listened for cops.

In the first race, Dom, Edwin, Carlos; one of Hector's many cousins and a cocky rich newbie lined up ready to race. At the go-ahead from Leon, Hector lowered his hands and they were off. Dom quickly geared up from 1st to 6th, the race was between him and Carlos. Each tipping each other for first with their hoods, Dom held back, he always did; it made the racer think they were going to win. With the psychological advantage over Carlos, he hit his nitrous and flew over the finish. Dom returned to the start line with the crowd cheering and whistling. He exited the car and got congratulatory slaps on the back as Hector approached handing him the 16G's he just won.

"Sis holds the money." He walked to Mia and handed her 12G's. Mia took the money and put it away whilst the team congratulated Dom before he walked over to Chris.

"Congratulations captain." Chris quipped at his so called alpha status as a racer. Dom leered at her and shook his head.

"4G buy in. Your turn." Dom said as he handed her $4000. "Make me proud." He jibed in a mock upper class voice, mimicking what he thought her father would sound like.

"Yes, sir." Chris saluted Dom and took the money.

"Alright second race, 4G buy in!" Hector yelled. Edwin bought in along with two unknowns. They knew they couldn't beat Dom but they had a chance with Chris. Chris got in her car and drove to the start line. Dom sat on the sidelines watching her. She was a cold racer, completely focussed on the road ahead. Her speakers boomed with music and she licked her lips. Edwin stopped on her right and tried to get her attention.

"Chris! Yo! You wanna go have some fun after baby?" Dom felt a shot of jealousy coursing through his veins as he heard Edwin proposition Chris. Chris didn't pay him any attention; instead she rolled up her passenger window. Dom saw her rolling up the window and sniggered at her manner of disrespecting Edwin. Hector commenced the race. Mia and Letty cheered as Chris crossed the finish first. Dom grinned and waited for Chris to return to the start line. Chris got out of her car, took the money from Hector and saw Dom sitting on the hood of his car looking at her with a playful glimmer in his eyes. She sauntered over and stood in front of him.

"This what you want?" Chris asked raising the money up to Dom.

"Yeah." He smiled, took the money and handed it to Mia. "Can I have you too?" Dom asked cheekily as he pulled her to him and grinned. The team smiled knowing this was a long time coming, Letty however felt somewhat in different to what she saw.

"Maybe." Chris quipped as she walked back to her car, leaving Dom humiliated in front of the crowd. He shook his head at her stubbornness and signalled for the team that they're going home.


The night was cop free and as usual, the party at the Toretto house was as loud as can be. Dom filtered through the crowd of people filling the house looking for Chris.

"Hey V. You wanna dance?" Chris asked taking his hand not really giving him a choice.

"Sure." He walked with her and put his arms around her. They danced close and grinded against each other. They were comfortable with their relationship as friends to know if they did dance like that, nothing more would happen between them. Dom found Chris, his face turning red with anger as he saw her grind against Vince. He was agitated by the fact that she had the nerve to publicly humiliate him and then intimately dance with Vince. Knowing if he started a fight Chris would never speak to him, he cooled down.

"V, can I cut in?" Dom asked as he tapped Vince on the shoulder.

"Sure brotha." Vince relinquished Chris into Dom's arms. He took her around the waist and pulled her closer. She smiled as he grinned at her.

"So why the humiliation?" Dom quizzed jokingly.

"Dom, I know you want me…" Dom growled at her arrogance. "…and you know I want you. We could at least have fun with it." Chris said; her bluntness surprising Dom. He smirked at knowing she wanted him and embraced her, fully enveloping her in his arms.

"Chris!" Mia yelled from the kitchen. Chris turned her head and saw Mia holding the phone. Dom groaned at Chris separating the two of them to go answer the phone.

"Hello?" Chris lessened the volume of the music by plugging her other ear with her finger. "Mom?"

"Christina?"

"Hey mom, hold on." Chris went outside and closed the door to further lessen the noise. "Okay. What's up?"

"Christina, where are you and what is that noise?"

"It's music. What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to invite you to dinner next Saturday."

"This Saturday coming up; as in this weekend?" Chris struggled to hear anything her mom was saying.

"No, next weekend. The whole family will be here and they'd like to see you."

"Umm…" Chris tried to think of an excuse.

"Christina, I'm not asking for a lot, just dinner."

"Okay, sure." She gave in. "Can I bring someone?" Chris asked not wanting to be alone again.

"Are they respectable?"

"Mom." Chris grew angry at her mom's insolence.

"Yes fine, bring someone. I'll see you Saturday."

"Okay, bye." Chris said before putting the phone down. "Fuck!"

"You alright?" Dom's baritone voice came up behind her.

"No. I have dinner with my entire family next Saturday." Chris said as Dom hugged her from behind.

"Can't you get out of it?" Dom asked.

"No, and your comin' with." Chris' tone was serious. Dom knew she'd rather have him there than be alone but he cringed at the prospect of having to act all sophisticated.

"I'm meeting the family already?" Dom laughed and Chris smacked him before entering the kitchen. Dom stayed outside to clean up the beer bottles.

The party died down and people left. It was already 2am and Mia and Brian were cleaning. "Hey you guys, I'll clean up here, why don't you go to bed?" Chris told Mia and Brian as she entered the kitchen. "Didn't Brian tell you the cook never cleans?" Chris smiled.

"You sure?" Chris nodded. Mia wasn't one to pass up going to bed early or not cleaning for one night.

"Thanks." Brian said as he hugged her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Mia gave Chris a hug and said goodnight. The two lovers walked upstairs eager to get to bed early, eager to share a few hours more of their usual nightly ritual, making love.


Dom walked into the kitchen through the back door and saw Chris bent over looking for dishwashing liquid in the cabinet. He proceeded to get a drying towel. He handed her the towel. "I'll wash, you dry." She tried to pull the towel out of his hand but he held on tight, she knew he was playing and raised her eyebrow as if showing annoyance. He let go of the towel and started to wash.

Dom finished washing the dishes and handed the last plate to Chris to dry. As she reached up to place the last plate on the shelf Dom came up behind her and put his arms around her, his hands touching her bare stomach, she was surprised, his hands were warm from the hot water he used and soft, interesting considering he worked with cars. He lowered his head into the crook of her neck as she let out a slight moan at the feel of his warm skin against hers. Chris turned around and put her hands into the front pockets of his jeans and pulled him closer; their bodies entangled. She gave a crafty smile and winked at him, biting her lip in anticipation of him kissing her. Dom stood his ground, he wanted to kiss her, his chest ached with expectation but Chris had already taken so much control away from him; he was fascinated by her power over him; he gained back some control, leaving her to make the first move. Chris stretched up with her neck feeling his hot breath on her face, she slowly made contact with his bottom lip and teased him with a little bit of tongue. He couldn't control his need; he put his hand behind her neck and pulled her in.

Their lips locked in desperation for each other. Both fought for control with their tongues, moaning at the pleasure of their powerful lips. Chris could feel Dom getting harder as he pushed into her groin, his large physique engulfing her. Dom thought she was like a drug; he wanted, he needed more. They broke away for a second, needing air, Chris' chest was heaving from excitement, and she was panting wanting him to take her. Dom's hands trailed over her thighs, up to her hips and round to the back of her ass. He squeezed and lifted her up onto the counter, his hands now free to travel up the sides of her body, passing her breasts and running towards her back. He pushed her forward once again connecting their groins. He moaned at the connection, he wanted her right there but he knew that he had to savour every moment. He placed one hand on the back of her neck and kissed her neck, slowly moving down towards her ample chest. Chris steadied herself with both hands on the counter behind her pushing out her chest, relishing in the touch of his lips and tongue, whimpering for more. Dom loved that he turned her on. Returning to her mouth his lips brushed hers as he spoke.

"Bed?" he kissed her before she answered with a murmur "Mmm…" With her permission, which he desperately craved he lifted her from the counter, her legs wrapped around him, her groin pushing into him releasing a groan. Just as he was about to take her upstairs, Brian walked into the kitchen. Surprised, Dom put Chris back down on the counter and stood in between her legs. They felt like two teenagers being caught red-handed. Chris cursed Brian for interrupting; now the mood was over.

"Sorry was I interrupting?" Brian asked sheepishly knowing he was.

"Yes." Dom said annoyed at Brian for ruining a perfect run of adrenaline and lust pumping through his veins. Brian walked over to the fridge to grab some water, both Dom and Chris' eyes following him, he shot an apologetic look at them before leaving and returning upstairs. Chris sniggered, knowing that Brian knew about her past record with men. She had to pull back; she was being sucked in too quickly. Dom smiled cocking his head to one side to catch Chris' eyes as she was looking down at the floor. He lifted her chin so she could look at him. "Where were we?" he asked immediately willing to continue where they left off. Chris smiled a smile which said "not tonight." From her smile and the look in her eye, Dom knew she was about to make an excuse responding with a "hell no" at her look.

"I'm tired and my boss will be very mad at me if I'm late tomorrow." Chris teased. Chris grinned at his disappointment of her going to bed alone.

"You work for me…" he grabbed her round the waist and kissed her "You can be as late as you want."

"Sorry, I gotta make a good impression on the boss." Chris chuckled at Dom. She bit her lip and travelled her eyes down his body noticing the bulge in his jeans.

"You've already made a good impression." Dom followed her gaze and referred to his obvious excitement. They both laughed keeping the laughing quiet as they didn't want to disturb Mia and Brian. Chris walked over to Dom and with one swift push backed him into the counter, again pushing into him. He groaned louder than he thought he would. "This is torture."

"Mmm…" Chris moaned as she kissed him, her lips lingering after the kiss as she whispered "I like torture." With that Chris walked away leaving Dom alone in the kitchen allowing him to comprehend what he had just lost. Dom heard Chris going upstairs and shutting her bedroom door, as he addressed himself, cursing Brian for his disruption earlier.

"Damn you, Brian." Dom went upstairs and headed straight for the shower, he needed a cold shower. As he entered the shower he was hit by ice cold water, his muscles tensing as it ran down his spine. He couldn't stop thinking about Chris, the way she smelled, and the way she felt against him but most of all her taste, which lingered in his mouth.
