CHAPTER 3 Tori and Tai smiled back at Dom as he gave them a grin when his car pulled up along side them. The competition pulled up beside him, closer to the two and looked over at Dominic's companions, teasing Dom's anger by making a kissing face at Tori, who simply smiled before throwning him the bird. He frowned then looked to Dom and reved up his engine in inimidation. Dominic simply rolled his eyes and turned back to the stretch of dirt road before him. The signal went up for the cars to prepare, then the arms went down and the two cars, one, Dominic's Supra and the other guys Camero took off down the half-mile course. Tori and Tai started screaming out for Dom to win. Sure enough, less than fifteen seconds later Dominic had crossed the finish line far out in front of the other guy who was cussing furiously a his bad luck, though it was really just his bad driving skill and knowledge. Noone could hold a candle to Dom, and everyone knew that. *** The group had just gotten back from Race Wars and everyone was extremely tired. During the rest of the course, Tori remembered, her and Dominic had gotten closer over just those few days. It had been incredible how close they had grown in so little of time. Tori flipped on the radio casually as the tunes of Aerosmith's 'Fly' waifed through the room. Running a hand through her hair, she sighed before laying down on her bed. Spreading her left hand out to her side and the other above her head, she closed her eyes, trying to calm her nerves and tensions from the previous evening. She heard a soft knock on the door and even attempt to move as she spoke, too tired to walk to the door. "Come in." Dominic walked in and shut the door quietly. Tori's head went up to look at the visitor, twisting her neck in an odd fashion. "Ouch." she murmered before laying her head back down. "Hey." Dom said as he came to sit down beside her on the right side of the bed. "How you doin'?" He asked running a hand through her hair, playing with a few strands before pressing his palm down on by the right side of her head and leaning toward her on it to better see her face. "Alright. Tired I guess. More so mentally than physically. Today was rough, but I guess I should have expected nothing else." She sighed again, a little louder than when she was alone and ran her hand that was above her head over to Dom's hand placed just inches from it, running her fingers over his skin. Dominic gently took her hand in his, twining his fingers with hers, then leaned over to take her other hand and do the same, lifting that one above her head as well. He leaned down and kissed her softly, running his tongue along her lips before she opened her mouth to him and he swept through her warm mouth with it. He gently teased her tongue, pulling it into his mouth to suck on it lightly. Tori moaned trying to pull her hands free to wrap around his head, but Dominic put a gently pressure on her hands, not allowing them to leave his. Tori caught on and let him have his way, keeping her hands above her head even as his left them to travel down her face, neck and chest to her stomach. Sliding his hands up underneith her shirt, Dominic began lifting it above her chest and then slid it over her head, Tori lifting up to help him get it off. He lifted from the kiss, looking into her sky blue eyes before trailing his gaze slowly down her body to her now exposed bra covered breasts. He tossed her shirt off the bed over his shoulder, causing her to giggle, before she gasped as his head dipped down to lick the line above the top of her bra. He laved her skin with his soft tongue, lingering here and there before his hands crept around her back to unfasten the two snaps from the material keeping his mouth at bay. He pulled one strap at a time down her arms, staring into her eyes the entire time, then pulled the bra off to look down at the creamy flesh now exposed to him. With an almost inaudible growl, Dom dipped his head once again, this time wasting not a moment before baring in on his target. His tongue slicked over Tori's hardening nipple, before taking it into his mouth to suckle. Tori moaned and could no longer agree to keep her hands where they were, locking them onto his neck and running her hands over his head as he paid each breast equal attention. All the while, his hands stroked her thighs, hips and waist, stroking sweetly as he felt her responding eagerly to his attentions. Tori closed her eyes as Dominic increased the suction against her breast. He never made either one feel left out, licking and sucking equally at each. She was rubbing his head lightly with her fingers before clenching at his neck and sighing out his name. She felt him leave her breasts, which became cold instantly in the air and she shivered before she felt his lips on hers again. Tori pulled him closer, pulling his black tank top from his black pants and lifting it up off of his perfect carmel skin. Pulling away from him to pull the tank over his head, Tori took the opportunity to lean up and lick at his flat nipples, making Dom grunt and struggle to get the tank off even harder. Tori laughed as he ended up ripping it and throwing it, too off the bed to join her shirt, however it landed on the other side of the room. Dom pressed a ferocious kiss to her lips once more before sitting back on his knees and placing his hands on her sides, telling her silently to stay in place. Tori held her breath as Dominic's fingers ran over her skin, giving her shivers down her spine. He ran them down her sides, then back up and across her abdomen, down her stomach to the top of her jeans. Placing one hand on the top of her jeans to hold them in place, he took the zipper between the fingers of his other and slowly, teasingly pulled it downward, letting each click sould like forever before the next. Finally the zipper was completely undone and Dominic slid off the bed, letting his hands trail down her pants to her feet. Pulling off her black socks, seeing as how her shoes had already been shed the minute she had gotten in the room, he threw them haphazardly behind him, like every other article of clothing gone. Tori again giggled, then laughed as he grabbed her jeans and pulled, only succeeding in pulling her down, while the jeans stayed in place. She began to wiggle to try and help him get them off. "Don't." he said quietly. "I can do it, just may take a few tries, but they'll come off." he laughed. Going back to his task, he pulled more carefully, holding her other leg in place while he pulled the left pant leg down. It started to slid off her body without any problems and he did the same for the right leg. Finally getting them loose enough, he pulled the jeans slowly off of Tori before letting them drop to the floor. She now lay before him in only a pair of black panties. Dominic smiled at her with an undisguised lust she had never seen before. She began to lift and crawl backwards, but only got a foot before Dominic had grabbed her ankle and stopped her. Running his hand up her leg until he got to the side band of her panties, Dom leaned over her, kissing the same path up her leg, then running his tongue across the top of her thigh. Tori moaned and clutched the bed, still lifted up on her elbows to watch as he looked up at her, then closed his eyes again to work his mouth across her hips. His other hand joined the first and gently tugged at the waistband, pulling the last garment off of her. It slid easily down her legs and was also, of couse, thrown casually across the room. This time it landed on the doorknob and Tori burst out laughing. Dominic looked over and laughed as well, then leaned down and blew on her now exposed flesh. Tori gasped and looked back down at him. "Lay down, Tor. Close your eyes." Dom whispered to the panting Tori. She did so then moaned his name as she felt a very warm and very wet tongue slide along the slit of her pussy. She groaned and pressed up into his mouth when the very tip of his tongue came into contact with her clit. Dom spread her lips with his fingers and leaned in, licking gently at her engorged clit. After a few moments of torture, he slid his tongue down to her opening and quickly thrust it in, causing Tori to moan even louder, grasping at the back of his head. Searching within her for a few moments, Dom moaned into her pussy, feeling her hands on his head and the vibration sent Tori bucking up into his mouth. Lifting his mouth higher again, Dominic took her clit into his mouth and began a sucking motion, pulling the soft bud into his mouth more and more. Tori was now panting and moaning louder and louder and Dom was thoroughly grateful they were alone in the house. His right hand slid down, tracing along her open lips to her entrance and then thrust a finger carfully in. He could feel her beginning to move more and more against his face and began to work her clit faster, applying his tongue to it, licking as he sucked in a quick, gentle rhythm. Rolling her hips benieth his mouth, Tori groaned feeling her orgasm suddenly building quicker than before. Dominic's finger moved faster in her as she thrashed benieth his expert mouth and fingers. He heard her groan and grasp harder at his neck as she came. Licking softly at her as she came down, twitching, Dominic licked his lips then crawled up to kiss her deeply. Tori sighed accepting the kiss and deepening it. Smiling to herself, Tori pushed at him, taking him by suprise as he rolled onto his back with her straddling his pants. Lifting to her knees, Tori moved down, not taking much time to strip him naked, following his example and throwing the clothes whereever they may land. She looked down at his erection and smiled. He was certainly healthy. Taking him in her hand, Tori stroked his length until he groaned and leaned his head back, closing his eyes. Leaning down, she cautiously licked over the head of his hard cock. Dom moaned and grabbed her upper arms, looking into her eyes to let her know not to tease him. Tori crawled up and straddled his hard penis, taking it in her hand and leading it to her entrance. Placing her hands on his abdomen as his rested on her hips, Tori groaned as she slid slowly down his length. Dominic gave a tremendous groan and gripped her hips with more pressure, flexing against her skin. His eyes came slightly open and he looked up into her eyes. Tori smiled then threw her head back as she began her motions, sliding back and forth. A moan of her name came from his lips, his deep voice echoing inside her and making her shiver with excitment. She lifted her legs, pulling her hips up and then lowered herself again. "Oh god, yes." Dominic moaned, panting almost loudly as she began to lift and fall on his cock, rocking back and forth as well. Running his hand down her side, he reached his thumb in to rub pressured circles over her eager clit. Tori moaned nearly the same as she felt her insides melting and the incredible feeling of her second approaching orgasm. Dominic could feel the same. He was becoming incredibly hot and could feel himself tightening up into her as her insides flexed against his. This is where he wanted to be. Inside her. For a very, very long time. It felt so right. And in the end that's what sent him over. Not the heat, not the erotic electriflying motions her hips were making apon his, not even her moaning his name as her orgasm took over with an incredible intensity, though had he not had the realization, that certainly would have done it. It was the fact that he realized in that moment that he wanted to feel this forever, not just the sex, but the emotion. It felt right, it felt like home, even had they not been home. It was the fact that he realized he loved her that sent him over the edge and into the most incredible orgasm of his life. He groaned loudly, pumping quickly up into her even as she fell on to his chest, panting. "Oh, god, Tori...." he whispered as he filled her with his warmth. Tori sighed at the feeling and clutched at him tighter, still rocking lightly against him, even as she lay apon him, sweat from their bodies mingling as their lovemaking came to a slow and gentle end to which they both drifted off to sleep. *** Loud voices arguing, though muffled by the door, awoke Tori the next morning. Looking over at the still sleeping Dominic, she smiled and ran her hand along the arm so casually draped about her waist as she remembered the night before. Dominic and her had made love at least three times that night and she felt incredibly tired but wondered what the yelling was about. Listening closer, she didn't have to wait long to find out. "Tai! You can't just go in there. Trust me, I walked in this morning, you don't need to be going in there-" Mia's voice sounded through the wood before Tori heard Tai cut her off. "Listen, I don't care what they did, she needs to see this-" "Tai, listen to me, you can't-" "It's my responsibility to let her know since she-" "-and I'm sure they don't want to be disturbed-" "-probably too busy fucking to notice that anything-" The voices mingled togather so that Tori could hardly make them out. She had only moments to realize that Mia was loosing this battle and Tai was coming in whether she liked it or not. Turning to Dom, she gently shook him to wake him before Tai decided to break down the door. Just as he was rousing, she heard her brother say something along the lines of 'screw this' and the door was opened with a very upset Tai and a very protesting Mia entering through it. Tori sat up, holding the sheet to her chest. She didn't have to explain herself to her brother. If he had a problem, he would deal. Dominic looked extremely tired as he too attempted to sit up, before settling on propping up on his elbow to look at Tai. Before she could get a word out though, Tai put a hand up. "Listen, Tor, I don't car about whatever you and Dom did last night, ok. That's not what I'm here for-" "Then what's wrong?" Tori asked, interupting her brother. After a moments pause, he spoke. "I think you should see it for yourself." and with that cryptic message, left to wait for his sister who had just given Dominic a look that said, 'What in the world is going on?' *** Dominic stood with one hand on his forhead, his eyes closed as a massive headache came on. Tori was rounding the wreck of a car again, her mouth still dropped open in shock. She came around to him with tears starting up in her eyes. But she wasn't going to cry. Her expression quickly turned angry, but the anger he knew was not directed at him, but at the offenders. "Who in the hell would do something like this? After all of our hard work. The time and money that Tai and I have put in on this have been priceless. The parts of ourself we have put into this car.....and now it's gone!" she turned back to the once beautiful RX-7. Now it lay a rubble, riddled with bullet holes and smashed by objects now unknown. It had been mutilated to the point where the tag was needed to identify it, had Tai not immediatly known it was his. He had been devistated to wake up and find his prize baby smashed to nothing. When had it happened? Was it one of the passing cars in the night? How had they not heard it, not known someone was there beating it to death? Perhaps it had been towed away before the mutilation and brought back before dawn. The possiblities were endless, and so was the pain it seemed. Things were at the lowest Tori had ever experienced, and they didn't look to be getting any easier. Turning back from the car into Dominic's arms, she made a silent vow to herself and her brother to get whoever had done this to them. They would pay. Whatever the cost... *** As it turned out, the RX-7 was a total loss, and having no insurance on the car, since it was technically illigal to own the car for racing purposes, the two were out of luck as for their car. Som had tried to offer his services to help out paying since he still had those thousands of his share in a swiss account, but Tori would have none of it, saying she felt like she were stealing from him, using his money and Tai simply said it wouldn't be the same. "Tell you what. I'll let you race the Supra next time and you can probably get someone to bet slips on it. Your sure to win in that thing, so no prob. Win the car, keep the pride." Dom said, patting Tai's knee. It was his last olive branch he had to extend. He wasn't sure what else he could do to help. Tai took a moment, watching his feet, shorter than Dom's dangling off the edge of the high porch. He then looked up to Dom's face, squinting from the sun, even in the little shade he had. "Really?" he raised his brows. Inside Dominic sighed. "Yeah really." he smiled, raising his hand to Tai's shoulder. "I know what it's like, Tai, pride always in the way, happens to everyone,whether they want it or not, but this way you can keep that high horse of yours and get a new car. Who knows, may just end up a really good import we can upgrade." "So...so you'll help me upgrade it then when I get it?" he asked sure of his ability to win. "Course." Tai looked back down for a minute before standing up so that Dom was the one looking up at him. "One problem, Dom. We may not be around for it. Tor is sayin that we're probably gonna leave soon." he paused, turning to leave, before talking to Dom over his shoulder. "You know, I really thought this was it....we were finally gonna stop running, finally gonna have a REAL home, with REAL friends. I should have known it was too good to be true." he whispered the last, running off the porch and around the back to be alone. Dominic sat for a moment taking in all that Tai had said before sighing and standing up and walking around to the side of the house that he had had Tori park the trailer. It had only been about two weeks ago, just before Race Wars that she had agreed finally to let Mia and Dom house her and Tai. She spent very little time in her room though, except when she was sleeping or with Dom. Suprisingly he stayed with her almost every night since that special night a week ago, but they had not made love again, due to the stress surrounding their lives at that point in time. Now Dom wished he had attempted to, maybe she wouldn't even be thinking of leaving then. But no, she had done it before in different places. Tai was right, it had been just a little more than a month and already she was ready to run. Well, he wasn't having it. *** The knock on the door brought Tori out of her trance. She had been packing up a few things in her and Tai's few suitcases they owned. It was time to go. They had stayed too long already and things were getting to complicated....people were getting too....close. She couldn't let that happen now. Things were just not the right time, but then they never seemed the right time. "Come in!" she yelled to the door behind her, assuming it was Tai. He was supposed to help her pack some more. The door opened then shut. But noone spoke. "Tai, could you hand me the pair of shoes in the closet? The red ones?" "Tai's outside." came the deep voice. Tori swung around in suprise, looking into the face of Dominic Torretto. He was only about 3 feet from her and she blushed and turned back, pushing the clothes further down into the suitcase as if they would dissapear from his sight if she pushed hard enough. "Hi Dom. What's up?" "Tori, what are you doing?" he asked, his voice low and she could tell he knew. She paused a moment before answering and continuing putting things in her case. "What's it look like I'm doing Dom." she didn't even try to disguse her voice with a happy tone. "I'm packing up some of me and Tai's things." "Why? Why are you leaving? Did something happen?" he asked, now concerned that maybe he hadn't seen something going on behind the scenes in Tori's life, though he thought he was part of that 'behind the scenes' area. Tori turned to him with an exasperated look. "Look, Dom. You knew this day would come. We have to leave." "Why? Is it like last time Tor? Something BETTER out there? Nothing left here for you? Or did you simply get tired of the setting..or maybe it was me? Did I get boring Tori?" he asked, now starting to get angry. Tori paused. "How did you know about those things? I never told you the reasons I left those places..." "Tai told me! Tori, that's not the point-" "..tai..." she whispered, her hand rising to her mouth as Dom continued. "and you know it makes no difference. Why do you really leave like this? Does what we have mean nothing to you??" he asked, the watched in confusion as she sank down to sit on the edge of the bed, tears welling up in her eyes. "T-tori, I....I didn't mean to-" "Dom..." she whispered loud enough to stop him. He sat down beside her and carefully put his arm around her shoulder as she leaned forward to rest her head on his chest as she cried. Placing his chin on top of her head, he sighed. "Tori...what is it? What's so wrong that you have to run away from it..from us...from me?" he nearly whispered. She sat up with tears in her eyes, almost gasping. "Oh Dom, Dom it's not you....it's just, "she looked down," everytime we get too comfortable, something like this happens. I mean, someone get hurt or something goes completely wrong. I mean, you saw what happened to the car....I'm just so afraid that........" "What Tori? What is this really about?" he asked as she stood up out of his arms and walked three feet away from him, before turning back to look into his eyes, hers red and puffy from crying. "It's about Tai. I just know one of these days that temper and pride of his is going to get him killed. He's my responsibility and if he dies....my parents would never forgive me. I'm so afraid I'm gonna screw it up so badly and everything is gonna go wrong and....." she started to sob again. "So that's what this is all about." he murmered more to himself than to her before standing and taking her into his arms while she heaved her tears out in streams, wetting his shirt. "Now listen to me Tori. Tai is getting older and he can pretty much take care of himself and I know you feel like it's your responsibility, but god girl you have to let this go. Your parents would never hate you or condem you if something happened, and you know what,no matter how far you run Tori, if something is going to happen, it's going to find a way of happeneing, regardless of where you are or how safe you may be. And your just gonna have to accept that and try and live your life, not keep running like this. Your one of the strongest women I've ever met and I just can't see you ever loosing to this, but by god Tor if you run...I'm gonna follow you until you see you can't get away from yourself this time." The two stood there for what seemed like hours before Tori finally pulled back with a sniffle and a small smile. "I look like hell, don't I?" she whispered causing Dom to chuckle. "Yeah, but hey, think of the upside, my shirt just got washed and I didn't even have to take it off." he laughed. Tori gasped and touched his tear soaked shirt. "Oh lord Dom, I'm sorry, I didnt' mean to-" "Tori, don't worry about it." he smiled and leaned down to kiss her salt stained lips, tasting the tears that had flowed onto them. That afternoon, they made love till sunset and as Dominic slept, Tori made the decision that she wasn't going to run this time. She did have something to stay for, she thought with a smile. *** Three weeks had passed and they had been racing regularly with Dominic and the others, nightly, Tori taking her private life deeper and deeper with Dominic, though niether of them had professed love yet, the other knew it was true. Tai had taken to his new car he had won not a week after Tori had told him she had decided they were going to stay longer, to which he had jumped up with a whoop and ran around, hugging Mia and almost Dom before regaining his composure and shaking his hand to which Dominic laughed, then took Tori back in his arms to kiss her fervently. The group had become like family and Tori had even moved completely into her new room, Dominic of course moving some of his things into the room with her. That afternoon, Tai had gone off on a walk around the block, having a grand time just kicking the rocks on the sidewalk. He was going to check out the old abandoned warehouse, little bit of child that still reigned in him. Tori had simply nodded her head from her spot in front of Dom, who was leaned over behind her looking into a car they were repairing, his hands on hers. He was showing her some new tricks and information on fixing cars. His fingers moved over and between hers as he helped her twist on the top of a particular part in an old Dodge. Both had smiles plastered on their faces as they moved the part togather. Tori laughed brightly. "Sorta reminds me of the movie Ghost." Dominic paused and got a thoughtful look on his face. "Except I doubt they were working with car parts and had this much oil on them." he said as she laughed and kissed her ear before helping her move her hands further on the cars insides.
