Letty POV

I slid my body forward to let Dom slide behind me in the bubble filled Jacuzzi tub, when I felt his legs wrap around my body a let my body fall back so that my back was resting against his chest. I slid my hands to his legs and made soft circles on them while he left small kisses on my neck.

"I'm sorry" I heard him mumble into my hair.

"Dom, stop apologizing, we handle this together ok. We knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into so stop apologizing." I reached for his hand and brought it to my lips kissing it reassuring him everything would be ok. We laid in the bath till the water got cold and Dom lifted me out of the tub and stood me up drying me off with a towel while he did the same. When we were both dry Dom picked me up and brought me to the bed, I crawled under the covers and I felt Dom spoon me, he got closer to me more than I thought anyone could possibly get but he got there.

"Why are you so worried about this one, we've done it before you said?"

"Let, we jacked trucks, dealt with drug cartel and then getting you back I tore up half the country nothing would stop me from getting you back. But, this is different he knows our every move and were not just dealing with strong men, were dealing with a high set of skills, I don't want to make a mistake and you be gone again." Now it all made sense he was scared that I was going to disappear. I didn't know exactly what had happened I wanted to figure it out for myself but I felt I had to ask him, I had to know to understand where this was coming from.

"Dom.." I asked softly

"What happened the night I apparently disappeared?"

Flashback

Dom POV

"...We'll figure it out, we always do." She looked at me with those big brown eyes that I could get lost in, I didn't want to do this, but this was more than protecting the woman I love, this was protecting my wife, my soulmate, my best friend, my family. She is my heart, soul, the air I breathe and I need to protect that. She doesn't deserve this life.

She must've heard me thinking because she reach to me and kissed me her way of getting me to stop thinking and focus and us and making me think everything would be ok. I pulled her to me making her straddle my lap I heard a small moan escape her lips and I held her closer. I didn't want to live without her, but I had to protect her. I had to make love to her for the last time.

I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist while I carried her into the house. "I love you, so stop worrying" She whispered

I couldn't say anything back I just kept kissing her until we made it to the bed, I laid her down gently and pulled the rest of her button up shirt off kissing down her stomach till I got to her shorts unbuttoning them. She lifted her hips slightly to allow me to pull them off her, once they were off I placed a small kiss on her center that I could feel was already ready for me. But, tonight wasn't about that, after 15 years Letty and I knew how to keep things 'interesting' in the bedroom we never had a problem with the kinkiness of our relationship but tonight I was going to worship her body and light her up. I kissed back up her stomach till I reached her bikini top untying the strings letting it slide off her taking a nipple in my mouth, I felt her arch my back trying to get me to take more of her in my mouth. I licked the hardened pebble and left a trace dragging my tongue from one nipple to the next.

"Oh god, Dom" She moaned, I reached my hand down between us letting my fingers play with her clit. "Oh god, Oh god baby" I loved seeing her like this, she was always so damn tough to the world and while I loved that about her, I loved seeing her so innocent and feminine when it was just us two. She wears little lingerie pieces, even ones with bows. She makes dinners for just us, she is a hopeless romantic although no one but me would ever get to know that. Her moans interrupted me from my thoughts about her, god I loved her moans.

"More baby, I need more" I kissed her stomach and made my lips back to hers kissing her while I lined myself up at her dripping entrance.

"Ooooh" I slowly was inserting myself inside her, going slower than normal, letting her feel everything. I kept kissing her and moved my way to her neck, "I love you" I whispered in her ear.

"I love you Dominic, now move" I started to slowly move in and out of her making her moan and scratch at my back. We started to move at a faster pace until I felt her leg move over mine flipping us over. I watched her ride me, she tossed her head back while holding onto my chest, she never did like staying in the same position. I was so close but I would try hard to hold off as long as I could, I was already being selfish tonight so I had to make this about her.

"Oh, yes Dom, ah god I'm gonna come, oooh fuck" I gripped her hips and let myself pound into her like she wanted "Ooooooh unnngh yesyesyes, right there baby don't stop!" I felt her walls tighten around me as she came, I let myself release inside of her knowing how much she enjoyed that.

"Jesus, I never get tired of that" She said dropping her body on mine holding me close while I held onto her for dear life.

"Me neither, gets better and better" I said trying to keep this as normal as possible. She got up to clean herself up and put on a pair of panties and one of my shirts before she crawled back into bed.

"Dom, everything will work out ok, we ride or die. I love you" She kissed me and rolled over allowing me to spoon her.

"Ride or die, I love you Let"

She fell asleep and around 4 am I stood up packing my bags and leaving cash and our necklace on the table.

"I love you Letty, I will always love you" I whispered kissing her forehead lightly before I left my whole life behind.

Flashback Over

Letty POV

"You left me?" I asked with tears in my eyes. Why didn't he tell me this?

" I had to Letty, I couldn't live with myself knowing something happened to you, I cou..."

"YOU YOU YOU, why is this all about you Dom! Why did I not get a say in this!" I cried

"Because Letty, you never would've let me go alone"

"You're damn right I wouldn't we're in this together and you were selfish and did this for you!"

"I did this for you Letty!"

"Bullshit Dom, you said you did it because YOU couldn't handle if something happened to me, YOU couldn't protect me, YOU were scared. This was for you while a small portion of me fits into there just to make YOU feel like it wasn't all about you."

"No Letty, it was never like that! Did you want me to let you die or get hurt!"

"I did Dom! You thought I died, but I didn't I was hurt, but why would you care I wasn't your problem anymore you didn't have to feel as bad"

"Letty, you're the reason I live and breathe. I tore up half of the world to avenge your death, so don't you DARE say I don't care, because you are everything me. You are my heart, my soul, the air that I breathe."

I know he cared, but I just felt angry, and sad, and confused all at the same time. I love this man yes, but I was heartbroken that he did that.

"Did you love me?" I whispered

"What kind of question is that, I just told you that you are my everything and you're asking if I love you? Jesus Christ Letty"

"I need to know" Why was I asking this? This wasn't like me, my emotions are all over the place lately.

He pulled me to him letting my tears fall down his named back holding me in his arms rubbing my naked back soothingly.

"I love you more than I love myself Let, I will always love you. You make me want to be a better man for you. I'm so sorry that I left, I thought I was doing the right thing, I know now I wasn't but don't ever question my love for you. I love you with everything in me that will never change. Even when I do something stupid and you get mad and yell at me, I still love you" We sat like that for a couple more minutes until, I felt sick again, I pushed Dom off me and ran to the bathroom slamming the door.

I made it just in time and was throwing up everything in my stomach what the hell I thought, this is the worst time to catch the flu.

I felt a blanket being draped over my naked frame, I also felt a pair of hands, and one holding my hair back the other rubbing my back soothingly

"Maybe you should go to a doctor? You've been getting sick for the last few days now."

"I think I caught that kid in the lobby's flu, you know the kid coughing and sneezing everywhere. I'll pick up some medicine tomorrow."

"Ok, do you want ginger ale?"

"Oh god yes please"
