Enjoy…and Review…and while ur at it, check my new fic "Late Nights, Early Mornings"…..

Chapter 14

Dom POV

After waking up in Letty's arms that morning, I felt like a whole new man. It was finally real that she was back, and as long as she was with me, everything else in life would have to work itself out.

After some heavy messing around, we were now seated out back by the pool, enjoying breakfast and coffee. I had confided in Letty about Elena, letting her know we needed to go Rio after leaving to have her buried.

She was quiet.

"You're upset with me?" I asked, picking up a pineapple chunk from her plate.

"No. But I won't pretend it doesn't bother me. I just don't want secrets between us. You can tell me anything." She began, and I nodded. I knew this would be coming. Letty didn't like sharing.

"It just irritates me to think I've spent years fighting to get back to you, and you were falling in love with someone else."

"I understand. But that's not entirely fair." I responded. "I thought you were dead. Gone. Never coming back. I don't know if you'll ever understand what that feels like." I admitted. "It's not something you recover from Letty. It was like slow death thinking you weren't somewhere in this world, sharing the same air as me; knowing you weren't somewhere I could find you one day. Elena was comfort. She loved Paolo as much as I loved you, and for us, it was nice to have someone that understood that pain."

"Yea well, you'll never understand how it feels to fight so hard to love someone who always leaves you." She fired back, trying to hurt me. It worked, and she was right.

"I'm sorry for that. I won't make that mistake again." I vowed, staring at her. "I did what I thought was best at the time."

She stared off into the distance and then set her eyes on me.

"What about Adriel?" She asked, and I immediately became defensive.

"What about Adriel? He's my son, Letty!"

"Thanks for stating the obvious, Dom. Where are we raising him?" she sighed, rubbing her eyes. "I love it here. It's the only home he's ever known and Leon and Marie, whether you like it or not, are the only stability he has ever known. I don't think it's right to just uproot him."

"My business is back on the island. My house and my sister are there." I countered.

"So what are you saying?" she asked, and I sighed again.

"I don't know, Letty. Can we compromise on this?" He asked.

"What do you have in mind?"

"We can buy a house here if you'd like. We can split time with AC here and in Azores. We can make sure Leon and his family have access to our plane and they can come whenever they'd like." I offered. She sat back thinking for a while, and nodded her head 'ok' .

"We can try that out." She agreed. Taking a sip of her coffee, eyeing me possessively, obviously noticing my mood. "You look a bit irritated. You should take me to the beach."

"Letty, maybe later, I'm kinda…" I began, trying to deter her subtle demand.

"Maybe you should just get up and take me to the beach." She interjected aggressively, smirking as I looked into her face. I sighed, standing and taking her by her hands, pulling her up. She kissed me, before hopping onto my back, allowing me to carry her down to the water.

I guess some shit never changes.

Letty POV

"We have to go." I said, rubbing the valleys of his back as he lay on top of me, his head on my breast. The water had been beautiful, warm. We had spent the morning swimming and kidding with each other, acting like children.

"I miss AC." He admitted, and I bent down to kiss the top of his head, before settling my head back on the sand to stare at the darkening sky.

"He has that affect on you." I smiled. "I can't believe Mia is having a baby."

"Yea, me either. She's not a little girl anymore. I'm glad we'll get to raise our kids together." He replied lazily, as I drew designs on his back with my fingers.

"Hmm, kids are a handful. Not an easy job, but they are so worth it. I never pictured me as a mom. Adriel changed the way I looked at myself." I admitted, causing him to look at me.

"But you like the job?" he asked, his curiosity taking me by surprise.

"Love the job. He's the best." I answered, no hesitation in my voice.

"You'd want more?" he asked, and I was so not ready for that question. I took a moment to think, before a grin slid across my face.

"Only with you. It's not a secret, you know, that I adore you."

"I'd love to see pregnant Letty, take care of you when you're like that."

"When the time is right, and we settle into life, we can revisit the subject. I'm sure you agree now is not the right time to add more kids to the mix." I confirmed.

"I agree. But you know, given all the activity we've engaged in since being here, we may be too late." He teased, and I pinched the skin on the back of his neck.

"You better hope that's not the case. If I end up pregnant, I'll kill you." I teased back.

"I'd die a proud man." He smiled.

Back at Leon's

No POV

Adriel, or AC was securely in his father's arms as he and Letty sat around the table at Leon's.

"I'm not going to lie and say I'm not going to miss this little guy. He's certainly become part of the family." Marie sighed, ruffling AC's soft curls.

"But the offer to visit whenever we want and you guys looking for property here makes me feel a lot better. I'm so happy Adriel has his parents now."

"Thank you for everything you've done for us. We'll never be able to thank you." Letty smiled warmly, enamored with the way Dom and Adriel had bonded to each other.

"So you guys heading out in the morning, huh?" Leon asked, taking a sip of Corona.

"Looks that way. We have lots of loose ends to tie up. We also need to get Mia settled back down before the baby gets here." He confirmed.

"Well now that we know where we all are in the world, shouldn't be such long gaps before I see your faces again." Leon smiled, lacing his fingers with Marie's. They all nodded in agreement.

"I'm going to go finish packing little man's toys. We'll see you guys in the morning." Letty smiled, standing and waiting for her shadows to follow her lead.

Once they were in their bedroom, Dom lay Adriel in the middle of the matress, and bunched pillows around him. Letty plopped herself on the floor and began to gather up all of the toys splayed out.

"Need help?" Dom asked, appreciating the view of his 'tough as nails' lover, picking up building blocks and Tonka trucks.

"Nah, there's not much to do. Why don't you rest or go hang with the guys?" she gestured to the window, where she could see Roman, Brian , Tej and Leon. He shrugged, standing from the bed.

"Dom, I'm not going to disappear from the room. Go hang with your brother's." She sighed, smiling up at him as she stuffed another toy in Adriel's napsack. He stared at her long and hard, his mind mulling over the decision to let her out of his sight again.

When he didn't make a move, she arched an eyebrow at him and stood.

"For Christ's sake, Dominic. I'm fine. Look, I'm here." She gestured, grabbing his hand and pulling it to feel her heart beat. He looked at her intensely.

"If you're trying to get me to leave the room, helping me cop a feel ain't gonna help, Let." She rolled her eyes at him, opened the bedroom door and pushed him out of the room.

"Have some fun, geez." She said gently through the barrier.

Outside

"Bruh, I found my next three baby mama's here. I love Seychelles." Roman smiled, as Dom joined the men, Corona in hand.

"Fool, you ain't got one baby mama." Brian laughed, taking a sip of beer.

"Whatever. I just know I can see myself vacationing here more often. What's up Big Man." He greeted Dom.

"So they finally come up for air?" Brian teased, and Dom blushed, taking a drink of his beer.

"What did you expect O'Connor?"

"Nothing less, but I still gotta give you shit." Brian smiled, his blue eyes twinkling.

"Yea." Dom chuckled, from deep within his chest. "Thank you guys. You guys will never know how much what you all sacrificed means to me." He began, and all the guys' heart's began to swell.

"Remember that time I was gambling in LA and had got myself into deep shit with some guys? They came into the store and drug me out into the street and tried to kill me. I remember you came out there, knocked both guys on their asses, through them a wad of cash and told them to beat it. You told them if they had a problem with anyone in your family, to come see you." Leon smiled, remembering the day he knew Dom had made him family.

"Yea, I also remember kicking your ass shortly after because that had been the money for Letty's surprise vacation to Mexico for the summer." Dom smirked, before Roman jumped in.

"And remember after we left Rio, and we were in Spain and that sexy mamacita got me into the alley to fool around? The trick was setting me up, had a team of goons ready to kick my ass and take all a brotha's shit. But you were watchin' my back that night, and you made sure I had back up." Roman shared, looking into the sky.

"Yea, someone has to keep their eyes on you."

"Man, or how about that time we had that motor jacked up in the shop and the chain slipped and almost crushed my ass? If you hadn't been there to grab it and pull it back up, the fly guy you see standing before you would be no more." Tej interjected, gesturing to himself with his hands. All the guys snorted, Dom smiling despite himself.

"And that time we had grabbed Braga, and Fenix was milliseconds from shooting my ass? This fool comes blazing out the side of a mountain, car up on its back tires and runs the fucker over, pinning him between two cars. If you hadn't been there, Mia wouldn't be my wife and about to have my baby." Brian summed, glancing over at Dom who was staring back at him.

"So as you can see, you've had all our backs and gotten us outta plenty of shit. You ain't gotta say 'thank you'. We're you're family." Brian smiled, patting him on the shoulder. Dom nodded in understanding.

After a few moments in silence, Dom cleared his throat.

"So, you sure you and Mia are okay taking AC back home tomorrow? If you think it's going to be too much trouble let me know. I know she's due in a week or so."

"Nah, we got him. Besides, Mia is dying to get him away from you so she can bond with him. You and Letty handle Rio, we got him." Brian assured.

"What about you Rome? You comin to Rio with us?" Dom asked.

"Hell to the no!" he answered matter of factly, "I am scarred from Rio. I am cool. I'll fly back with Mia and Brian."

"Scary ass." Tej muttered, "Yea, I'm going to head that way as well; got to get back to my own garage."

Dom took a moment to glance back at the window to his bedroom, and noticed Letty, holding Adriel, soothing him back to sleep. He smiled, before turning back to the guys.

"It's crazy, huh?" Leon said, noticing his wandering eyes.

"Yea. Didn't think I could love her anymore than I already did. And I didn't know my ass was missing the kind of love AC brings to my heart. It's weird, and familiar all at the same time." He answered back, as Leon nodded in understanding.

"We're certainly not the guys we used to be, Toretto." He chuckled.

"Naw, I'll never be that kid again." He swore softly, more to himself than to Leon.

Later that Night

After a few hours out, the guys all trudged back inside to their rooms. Dom made sure to be quiet as he removed his shoes and shirt before pulling off his pants and sliding beneath the comforter, rolling Letty underneath him.

"You're insatiable." She grinned sleepily, as he lay on top of her, cradling his large form between her thighs.

"You objecting?" he challenged, as his fingers trailed down her chest, between her breast, stopping at her navel.

"Never, but your son might." She smirked as he reached down, pulling her shorts off.

"Well then, Leticia, I guess that means you're," he began punctuating his words with kisses, "Going. To. Have. To. Be. Very. Very. Quiet, baby." He growled, settling his shoulders between her thighs.

"Did we always do it this much?" she whispered down to him.

Dom met her eyes in a smoldering stare as he flashed back to an earlier time in their relationship.

Flashback

They were completely exhausted. Everything in both their bodies ached and as they lay on the floor, naked and sweaty, both moaned at the tiredness of their muscles.

This marathon of love making had began after a rather explosive argument which had ended with both of them angrily challenging the other's ability to satisfy the other.

"You quitting? I thought you were gonna give it to me?" she taunted, hoping beyond measure that he would be too exhausted to rise to the occasion. They had been at it for hours, grateful that the team had been out of town for the weekend.

As he turned over onto his back, she groaned and moaned at the same time.

He was still hard, his erection pointing towards his stomach as though it was searching for her.

"You know I've never had a problem, rising Let." He ground out, reaching for her, pulling her atop him.

She bit the inside of her jaw to keep from protesting, as he positioned her on top of him. She didn't even try to stay up, she lowered herself onto his chest as he guided himself into swollen depths, both hissing as their over sensitized flesh met.

"You quiting?" he asked, lifting his head to look down at her. She raised her head, meeting his eyes.

"My momma always told me, quitters never win, Dom." She ground out as he began moving her over him.

"You ok?" he asked, concerned with her limits, although he knew her spirit would never let her give in.

"Course, Papa. Come on, you're boring me with all this chatter. I'm waiting for you to wear me out." She said, mock-yawning at him.

He set a brutal pace, his abs burning as he flexed underneath her, holding her so that she couldn't run from his thrust.

After, they had both collapsed, falling asleep, neither having the energy to even care who had won.

He remembered the following morning, they both awoke with groans and hisses as they peeled themselves apart.

Dom made himself a promise that he would never push her limits that far; he hadn't been able to get any for almost a week after that, her body, physically unable to take it.

When they had both healed, he admitted that she was the only woman that prompted that much stamina in him, any other woman and he'd have not even bothered for round two.

She smiled, teasing that if he knew what was best for him, he'd never try to stray.

Bringing himself back to his current position, he smirked up at her.

"Yea, I can remember some times. Maybe we need to try our limits again if you've forgotten." He replied, before dipping down to taste her.

A/N: I want you guys to know that I almost lost half this chapter when my comp decided to shut itself off. I actually yelled and scared my sister's dog. Hop you enjoy, and also, hope it wasn't too raunchy…I tried to keep it light…lol…well, light for me. We know I have quite an imagination!
