Chapter 20
Today was the day. The sun beat down on the warm Nevada desert. The Team of Dominic Toretto all loomed in the heat, all registered and ready. Beads of sweat trickled down Dom's chest, making the transparent white wife-beater cling to his tight pectoral muscles. His mind was racing, with the thoughts of the race and the night he would face. He made up his mind and he was as sure as he'd ever been. He would marry Ashley, without a doubt. He thought all night about it and only got good feedback from his heart and mind. He looked at the 6 cars to his left- all in tiptop conditon from months of work and thousands of dollars. All the cars had their nicknames followed by Toretto's on the bottom right side of them.
"Guys, You ready?" Dom asked.
"Stop saying guys. I'm not a guy." Mia said from the back.
Vince laughed. "Its just an expression."
"So is "stupid up before I smash your face in"." Ashley retorted, making a smashing motion in her hand. They all shared a laughed as they formed a circle.
"Ok team," Dom corrected himself to fit everybody's standards. "This is it. We're on our way to the big race. The big show, the real deal. Let's pray." Dominic said, to his team, his circle- his family. He looked at all the faces of Leon, Jesse, Vince, Mia, Letty, Ashley, and Brian. "Leon, do us the honors bro."
"No problem Man," He said. All of them put in their hands in and bowed their heads. "To the man upstairs. Thank you for being there. Help us through this. Let us win Loads and Loads of fuc—freaking cash…Let us be safe. Let us be happy, but most of all LETS US WIN! Ahem!" He said.
"Ahem!" They all repeated.
"Lets blow the top off this!" Jesse put in. Ashley tightened her arm around his neck.
"Coyotes 'R us, Your up man." Leon said to Vince. He nodded. "Your next mad scientist."
As Vince jumped in his car, they all raced over to the site.
Needless to say, Vince and Jesse won. None of the others had a race until much later that night. So they just hung and talked. Dominic stayed to himself. He didn't want to talk to anybody and he didn't want to overload his brain.
"Dom," He heard a sweet voice say. It was Ashley.
"Yeah?" He asked.
She came up behind and starting rubbing his shoulders. "You look tense."
Dom didn't respond. He just sat there and let his actions speak louder than words. He groaned from the pleasure he was receiving came over him. He rolled his shoulders to increase the feeling.
"I love it when you do this." He said.
"I know." She whispered in his ear. Her breath on his ear drove him crazy.
He took her hand and led her around to face him. He trailed his fingertips down to her hips and guided her down to his lap. Without a word, her lips came crashing down to his. He wrapped his arms around her waist and tugged closer. Her hands caressed his back in loving, caring motions. He dropped his hand it the nape of her back and slid it slowly up her shirt, undoing the clasp on her bra. The both undressed each other slowly and sensuously savoring every hot moment. She yelped in passion as he connected with her. She closed her eyes and went with it.
"How much do you love me?" He asked.
She tried her best to find the words but the feelings that went over her, wouldn't allow her to respond.
"Answer me." He said, increasing his speed.
"More than anything!" She got out in huffs.
"Open your eyes and say it…" He instructed her.
She hesitated at first, and then slowly she opened her chocolate brown eyes. She pressed her forehead to his and looked him in the eye. "I love you Dominic."
With those words pounding in his head he seized like never before, Her screams of pleasure only fueling him to go harder and faster.
"Shit!" She exclaimed. "That was…that was…" Ashley tried to make out a sentence but she couldn't complete it with her body convulsing and desperately trying to recuperate.
Dominic watched her, his heart beating wildly. "Wild." He finished, scooping her up by the legs.
"What I said last night…I didn't mean. I thought about it a long time and…there's no women in the world I could see my self marrying more then you."
Ashley smiled. "Are you sure? I want you to be positively sure!"
"I'm more sure now- after what just happen, then I ever was. You make me happy. I mean shit its almost like you make me complete."
"Good. Now put me down. We got stuff to do." She said, hoping down out of his grasp.

Funny how this desert weather works, that morning it was burning up. Now its Cold as hell. Ashley had changed into some Tight Camouflage pants and a black shirt that read; "Classy Bitch"
"Your up. Good luck. Make me proud of you!" He said, handing her the keys to her Civic.
"I always do, papi." She said, snatching the keys from his hand. He grabbed her arm before she walked away and pulled her back to him. He drew her close and stole a loving kiss and a tight hug.
"And be careful!"
She rolled her eyes and nudged him in the stomach. "Iight," She said, turning back around and heading on her way.
She climbed into the driver's seat of her car and injected the key. She loved the sound of that car cranking up. She pulled slowly up to the line and looked to her right.
"Edwin?" She asked.
"Ashley? Whoa, what's up girl?
She laughed. "What's up dawg!"
"So you racing me huh?"
"Oh yeah. I hope your ready to lose." Ashley said with a little friendly competition.
"May the best man win huh?"
"You damn right!"
The two had a good race. Ashley leading, then Edwin. It ended with Ashley only winning by literally an inch.
"Congratulations." Edwin said, coming over to her. Shaking hands. "Now you can tell you raced Edwin Karr."
She shrugged. "We'll Congrats to you, because now you can say you lost to Ashley Hernandez."
He laughed and shook his head. "You are something else."
As Dom approached her she jumped up in his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. "Told you." She whispered. "Your turn."
Just as she was climbing down a motorcycle sped past. Her mind reeled. FSTTRAC.
She gulped as the man peeled off his helmet. It was the same Asian guy she saw at her first race—Jack.
"So we met again." Jack said, extending his hand out. Ashley smacked it away and moved behind Dom.
"What do you want?" Dom asked. He stepped up to the man, making him look like a little boy.
"You know what I want." He said, nodding towards Ashley.
"No!" Dom said quickly. "I'm not putting my wife on the line!"
Mouths fell open. Heads snapped. "Do you hear this?" Jack asked. Taunting Dominic. "Ole Toretto`s gone soft!"
Dom blood boiled. He clenched his hands into tight fist.
"Do it, Dom. You never loose."
Dom stood there contemplating what he should do.
"Its not about the money. My dad died for this! The least they could go is let me work for his honor!" His own words flashed back to him. He could work his dad's honor.
"Ok." Dom said, just quiet enough for Jack to hear him.
"Dom, Don't lose." Ashley said, gripping him big. "Don't lose."
He looked down at her. "I wont." He said, kissing her. " I never do."
Oh how wrong one man can be. This was it. Within one minute worlds would change. Worlds will clash. Things will happen.
