Chapter 21- In the heat of the night

It was getting late now and Dom was starting to worry that Letty had ran away despite leaving her bag behind. Dom's curiosity got the better of him as he open her bag. The bag had over forty thousand dollars in it, to Dom's surprise. To the bottom of the bag he pulled out a black velvet pouch. To Dom's horror he found, Mr Del Rio's niñe millimeter pistol. Dom dragged his hand down his face at the thought of Letty having a need for a weapon. He had left to protect her but from what he saw and experienced so far led him to believe that he did just the opposite.

"What have I done?" he said to himself.

Dom decided to go look for Letty. He packed all their belongings in the car but left the motel door key over the door frame in case Letty came back. Dom must have driven for over three hours before deciding to go back to the motel. He couldn't believe that he lost her after just having found her. He realized how he must have made her feel over and over. He hoped that she had returned like that time when he found her sleeping in his garage. Dom remembered how afraid he was when he couldn't get on to her. He then thought how Letty must have felt when he left and would not let Mia tell her where he was. How unimportant she must have felt. Dom realized what a mistake he made in leaving and wished he could change what he did. Dom suddenly realized how he yearned to hold her in his arms and make her feel safe. Her touch made him feel needed and deeply loved, a feeling he never confessed to her. The thoughts of having Letty close to him made his heart race. Dom finally pulled into the motel parking lot. There weren't many cars so he noticed a couple getting hot and heavy in the dark area of the lot. Dom pressed for his alarm and began walking towards the motel when he heard the woman giggle. The sound made his pores raise. Dom turned to face the couple again. This time the man noticed him.

"Hey, enjoying the show buddy? Get lost punk," the man said to Dom.

The woman was obviously very drunk as she kept giggling. The sound again had a disturbing effect on Dom as he moved closer he saw the man had the woman jammed against the side of the car. Her hands were around his neck while she held a bottle of vodka. If that wasn't bad enough that he was with this woman in a parking lot, her right leg was around his waist as the man's hands were up her short black dress and he looked as though he was trying to take off her underwear.

"What did you say to me? Dom said as he stood at a distance.

"What you deaf or something, beat it." the man replied.

"You think you're a man? At least respect her enough to get a room." Dom replied.

"What the hell..."

"Let's just go okay." the woman's voice interrupted his response.

Dom felt the back of his neck get tense. He tilted his head to alleviate the sudden rush of blood to his brain. In a split second Dom was all over the man, punching him in the face. The man couldn't even put up a fight as the first blow made his nose bleed and rendered him nearly unconcious. The woman was drunk out of her mind and tried to pull Dom off while screaming for him to stop.

Dom was so enraged that he accidentally pushed her to the ground when she tried to hold his arm during the struggle.

Dom finally let go of the man's Shirt collar when he realized what he had done.

"What the f**k is wrong with you?" Letty screamed while sitting on the ground.

"What's wrong with me? Letty what the hell is wrong with you?" You're dressed like a hooker, making out with a stranger in a f**king parking lot and wasted to shit. Letty...I...I don't know what to do to get you to talk to me. That use to be so easy." Dom rubbed his hands over his head and paced to an fro nervously as he was still trying to shake the feeling to kill the man who had his hands all over his woman. "Come on get up. I'm sorry" Dom said while stretching his arm out to help her up

"Get away from me, I don't need you." Letty struggled to stand. She could barely keep her balance as she picked up her jacket. Letty pushed her curly hair away from her eyes which revealed her tears.

Dom again tried to assist her but he was greeted with more hostility.

"Don't f**king touch me." she screamed "leave me alone, just leave like last time, just without the sex first." Letty moved closer to Dom, lifting her head as though she was about to kiss him. Instead she spoke with the strong smell of liquor on her breath.

"Don't want you leaving any more surprises behind."

This statement left Dom confused, but Letty was drunk and he assumed it was just drunenk babble.

Letty managed to find her way back to the room but realized she had no key. Dom was right behind her as she turned her back towards the door. Dom stretched his strong arms over the door for the keys. His chest jammed letty against the door. She looked Dom in the eyes as she bit her lips. Dom always found this a sexy trait of hers. His heart pounded as he felt that sensation in his pants. Dom couldn't help it anymore and at the risk getting slapped in the face, he grabbed Letty's thighs, lifting her to his waist while he jammed her between the door and his yearning body. Dom then kissed her passionately as though he was making up for something or silently begging for forgiveness. He forced his tongue inside her mouth. Letty was heavily intoxicated and was rendered trapped against the door, she eventually gave in. Her hands caressed Dom's face as she returned the passion that was building inside. Dom was apparently getting carried away as Letty started moaning, not because she was enjoying herself, but because she couldn't breathe. She eventually pushed Dom off of her, they both were breathing heavily and Dom stuck close caressing her waist. Letty turned and opened the door. She was not pleased with what she had just done so she ignored Dom from then on and went to take a shower. Dom sat in the kitchen at the table. He was tired and frustrated not to mention full of sexual tension that he was obviously not going to get rid of tonight. Dom felt as though his life no longer made any sense. He rubbed his hands down his face and looked up at the ceiling. He heard the shower come on and couldn't help envision Letty's wet naked body. Dom entered the bedroom hoping to finish what he started. The shower door was closed but no locked. He quietly cracked open the door. The shower was powerful so it made a lot of noise but he could hear Letty crying as he moved closer. He saw her naked body through the glass door in a fetal position on the floor of the bathroom. Her cries made him sick. She was obviously in some sort of emotional pain, so much it seemed to be suffocating for her. What was it that she was so determined not to tell him? Dom closed his eyes and swallowed hard before quietly closing the door. He looked at the time and decided to stay another night as it was late. Dom took off his shoes and lay on the bed with his legs still on the ground looking up at the ceiling. He was so tired that he fell asleep without effort.

About half an hour after, he was awaken by the radio in the kitchen blasting 'Need you now' by Lady Antebellum. Right then his cell phone rang.

Dom answered while still lying on the bed. "Hello." Dom answered.

"Baby, where are you? I've been trying to call you for days." Elena's voice came over the phone.

"Ah. Yeah. I'm sorry, my uh..battery died." Dom struggled to regains consciousness and wondered what was going on in the kitchen.

"When are you coming home babe?" Elena was really trying to determine whether Letty was him or not.

"Elena, I'm dealing with something in my life right now. I don't know how it's gonna end but I can't string you along because of it." Dom hinted to her.

"Dom, are you breaking up with me? Oh my god you are."

Just then Letty came dancing in, bottle of vodka in hand wearing nothing but her towel which was wrapped very loosely around her small body. Dom was breath taken at the sight that he forgot about Elena on the phone. Letty's curly damp hair flowed over her shoulders and framed her face in a seductive way. Her lips were pink from the cold water and her eyes were fixed on Dom as she flex seductively in front of him as though she was giving him a lap dance.

"I'm sorry I have to go." Dom said and hung up the phone.

Letty walked over to Dom, one hand held up her towel and her vodka while the other caressed his head. Dom closed his eyes as it was so long since he felt her touch him like that. Letty let go of the towel, it fell to his feet as she pulled Dom's head towards her belly. Dom's hands made their way up her hips then her waist. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her on her navel, and her stomach. Dom felt her breathing accelerate as he kissed her. Dom grabbed her behind her thighs and place her on his lap. Letty cupped Dom's face in her hands as she touched his forehead with hers. She then started to kiss him lightly on the nose, the face and his lips. The smell of vodka still on her breath.

"Are you still wasted?" Dom whispered as he brushed his lips across her cheeks. He then slowly took the bottle from her.

Letty brushed her nose against his while stroking the back of his head.

"Does it matter?" she whispered in reply then locked him in a passionate kiss before he could respond.

The smell of her cherry on her damp skin was driving him crazy. He shook his head in response to her question indicating 'No'. Dom was breath taken, an effect Letty always had on him when she was in the mood. He kissed her passionately on the lips while pulling her hips closer to his. Dom turned around to lay Letty on the bed, his lips never breaking contact with hers. As he slid his hands up her bare skin his hands felt a scar on her side. He stopped and stared her in the eyes. She saw the concern in his eyes.

"From the crash." she replied.

Dom kissed the scar on her side. Letty felt guilty for making him feel guilty and for keeping secrets from him.

"Do you still love me? He whispered while now kissing her neck.

Letty's breathing got heavy. Letty could never say those words to Dom even when they were together. It was just not her nature to be vulnerable. She always had to be the tough girl. Letty unbuckled Dom's pants and pushed them down to his knees with her hands and finished pushing them off with her feet. Dom got aroused when she did things like this. She then lifted his white t-shirt over his head, all in an attempt not to answer his question.

Dom however was on to her plan and rolled her on top of him.

"Letty," Dom said, but Letty kept kissing him "Babe, please." he said.

" Who said I ever did?" Letty replied as she continued to tease Dom with her kisses. She began to move down his chest, then his firm Abs. Dom knew if it went any further he was never goin to be able to get a response from her so he immediately sat up in bed, pulling her close so he could look into her eyes. "I need to know how you feel." He said looking very puppyish. Letty has never seen Dom so sensitive before. She knew it would mean a lot to hear her say those words. "Does it matter?" Letty finally replied in another attempt to evade the conversation. "Please no more talk" Letty started kissing Dom again.

"It does to me." Dom replied, rolling on top of Letty forcing her to look him in the eye.

Letty tried to look away but Dom pulled her face back.

Letty was a bit annoyed now,"Why did you leave me?" letty snapped.

"Babe, I never left you because I didn't love you enough. I left because I love you too much to let you get hurt because of me." Dom said while holding letty's face firm in the palm of his hands.

A tear ran down the corner of her eye when she heard his words.

"I messed up, I should never have left. Do you hear me?" this is all my fault and I want, no I need you to forgive me." Dom's words sunk deep into Letty's heart. She grabbed him behind his neck and kissed him passionately.

"I love you." she whispered as their lips broke contact. "Dom, I need you so much right now." Letty needed to say no more. Dom took charge the way he usually does. separating her legs and sliding his hips between. Letty felt him inside her, she moaned in pleasure. Dom felt her body rise, her breasts pressing against his bare chest. Dom's hands slid up her hips and rested on her breasts which he then position himself to suck on them. This was too much for Letty to bare so she rolled over so that she was on top. Dom couldn't bare this for long either as the sight on her body alone would get him arouse. Dom closed his eyes and used his hand to feel her body movements. He pulled her close and rolled again. Dom place the palm of his hands in hers as the tension built, squeezing them as he move in and out of her. Letty always made the sexiest sound when she was close to come. Dom heard her moan in his ear as he literally bit her on the neck. Dom felt her body tense under him and made his move. He kissed her hard on the lips. Their bodies move in sync with each other. Dom felt her body relax in his arms as she came. He kissed her lightly all over her face and neck. Letty caressed his face as she now laid on his chest. Dom muscular arms embraced her like a child holding on to his favorite stuff toy. Letty quickly fell asleep to the sound of Dom's heartbeat.
