Chapter 14 - Epilogue

"Dom, tell me where we're going," Liz commanded for what seemed like the one-hundredth time.

"Will you just sit still and be quiet? It's not much farther," he answered.

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one who's blindfolded," she pouted, causing Dom to chuckle. "Laugh all you want. I can still take it off," she added, slowing reaching her hands behind her head.

"Liz," Dom said with warning in his voice.

Liz smiled and let her hands fall back into her lap, and then felt Dom's fingers slide between hers.

As she laid her head back, she thought back to earlier that morning.

"Liz, get up!" Dom said, pulling the covers off of her and throwing them onto the floor. He'd learned that if they stayed on the bed, she'd grab them, curl up and go back to sleep, so he pulled them completely off of the bed.

"Dom, leave me alone!" Liz yelled.

When he smiled that silly little grin of his, she knew she was in for it. He grabbed her by one long leg and pulled her off of the bed, causing her to squeal like a little kid. She held onto one of the king size pillows by its end and slugged him with it. They ended up in a huge pillow fight and when it was all said and done, the entire room was covered in feathers.

"Look at what you did!" she teasingly yelled at him.

"Me? If memory serves correctly, you were the one who threw the first pillow, remember?" he leered.

"Yeah, but that's only because I wanted to sleep in! It's Saturday for crying out loud. People sleep late on Saturday."

"Not when they've got plans," Dom said. "Now, will you please get this mess cleaned up so we can leave?"

"Me? You want ME to clean up this mess up?" she asked. "Dominic Anthony Toretto, you didn't just TELL ME to clean this up, did you?" she asked again.

Fuck, Dom thought. She used my whole name. Not good. He quickly dropped his head as if he were a child who was being chastised for something. What was he thinking? He WAS being chastised for something.

"In all the time that we've been together, when have you known me to bow down to your command? Huh? Tell me!"

Dom lifted his head and pinned her with a hot look. "When you're on your knees sucking me off," he said.

Liz closed her eyes and shook her head. Leave it to Dom to turn everything into something sexual. But she didn't mind. She loved pleasing him as much as he loved pleasing her, which is why she wanted to sleep in this morning. He had kept her up until the early morning making love to her. And now here it was 10:00 and he had dragged her ass out of bed, torn up the pillows, and then told her to clean it up.

"I'm not going anywhere with you unless you help clean this mess up, Dom."

Dom knew she wasn't bluffing and shifted his ass into high gear so they could get the bedroom cleaned up and then get on the road.

Two hours later found them in Dom's truck headed out of Los Angeles for the day. He hadn't told her where they were going, just that he had a surprise for her. She had no clue what he was up to but she knew that she'd go to the ends of the earth with this man.

As soon as Dom neared the coast, he rolled the windows down, letting the fresh ocean breeze cool them. Liz noticed the difference and wanted to take off the blindfold, but knew that by doing that, she'd spoil the fun. So she sat there and enjoyed the smells and sounds that were surrounding her.

He turned the truck off of the main road and followed a smaller road through the neighborhood, then took a right onto yet another road. Here the sound of the ocean was louder, closer. Liz still couldn't tell where they were.

Dom finally pulled the truck to a stop.

"Don't you move, Liz. I mean it," he said, getting out and walking around to the passenger side. Opening the door, he helped her out and when she tried to take off the blindfold, he slapped her hand away. "I haven't said you can take that off, have I?" he asked.

"Dom," she warned.

He leaned down and dropped a quick kiss on her lips. "Just a few more minutes, I promise."

Dom led her away from the truck and out towards the sound of the ocean. She smelled a grill burning which meant that someone nearby was having a bar-b- que. He led her to a certain spot and turned her so that she was facing the ocean.

"Ready?" he asked as he reached up to untie the blindfold.

"Dammit Dom, I've been ready since you dragged my ass out of bed this morning. How much longer are you going to torture me?" she asked.

"Hmmm," he said against her neck. "You don't like being tortured?" he teased.

"You know what I mean."

He finally untied the blindfold and the sight that greeted Liz was absolutely breathtaking. They were standing on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, its waters crystal clear. Sunlight danced on the water as the waves crashed onto the shore below them.

"Dom, it's beautiful," she said, walking out towards the stone ledge that had been built to keep people from wandering too close to the edge. "But I don't understand," she said with question in her voice.

He slowly turned her around and the smiling faces of all of their friends and family greeted her. She looked around and saw the grill going, saw the picnic tables set with tons of food on them, and saw the framework of someone's house behind them.

"Dom, where are we?"

"Home sweetheart. Home," he said, taking her into his arms and giving her the sweetest kiss imaginable.

"Who's home?" she asked, still not sure what was going on.

"Ours," Dom said as he took her hand in his and walked up to the porch where everyone had gathered, patiently awaiting their arrival. Dom had had this planned for months and was glad that it was finally time to let her in on his secret. He was so tempted to tell her about it so many times, but wanted it to be something that she would always remember.

They passed through the crowd and continued into the house, stopping at a makeshift drafting board.

"This is our house sweetheart," he said, showing her the set of plans that were laid out on the table. The first page was the front elevation, a picture of what it would look like when it was finished. As they thumbed through the other pages, Liz realized that this was their dream house, the house that they had spent so many nights lying in bed and talking about.

Since the accident three years before, Dom had left the illegal racing scene behind and moved over to the NIRA circuit, where he immediately moved to the front of the pack. He raced once or twice each month, bringing in more than he had when he raced on the streets. These winnings he put away, knowing one day he'd find a good use for them.

He talked to Tim about the construction business and worked for him for a little while, and when Dom mentioned an idea he had, Tim jumped on it. Dom loved working with his hands and although he loved working on cars, he wanted something different. While Tim concentrated mainly on commercial properties, he occasionally would take on a residential project, and this is where Dom felt the most comfortable.

Taking money from his winnings, he started his own company, DT Builders. It was slow going at first, but when word spread around, he had several projects lined up. Thankfully Tim was there to guide him through a lot of it, and Liz stood by his side, always there offering encouragement when Dom felt that he had bitten off too much.

He had signed the house over to Mia, who asked if he would be upset if she sold it. Once the sale was completed, she gave Dom half of the money. He refused to accept it, saying she needed it start over. They had a huge fight over it and in the end, Mia won.

Dom still retained ownership of the store and shop, leaving the mechanic work to Vince and Leon. In his spare time, he would swing by the shop and work on his car, getting it ready for any upcoming races. But spare time was fast becoming a thing of the past. His new venture kept him busier than usual. He had one specific crew assigned to work on his house and as soon as Dom made his daily rounds to the work sites, he would head to their house and work right beside them.

He led Liz around, explaining what this was, or what that was going to be. He gave her details of how he wanted the cabinets finished, what the molding would look like around the doorways. He left nothing out. They walked up the stairs to the second floor and he led them into what would be their bedroom. It would have French doors that opened onto a deck that spanned the width of the house, and the sight from here was even more beautiful than from the first floor.

The bathroom would have a glass walled shower and garden tub, each had their own sink and he had included a built in dressing table for Liz. Their closet was huge. There were three more bedrooms on the upper level, just in case they had visitors, Dom had said.

Liz had moved her way up in the firm that she worked for, and with promotions came added responsibilities, more clients, and a nice paycheck. But before she had accepted her current position, she made it very clear to the partners that she was not married to the company, and that Dom was her life. If they had a problem with that, then she'd be content to stay exactly where she was. She knew that they didn't like employees like this, but because Liz was an excellent employee, they allowed it.

She turned to him. "Dom, I don't know what to say," she whispered. "It's so much!"

He smiled. "Nah, it's perfect. It's exactly what we've talked about. You wouldn't be happy in something else, something that didn't have everything you wanted, so I decided to do it."

"How are we going to pay for it?" she worriedly asked.

"The majority of it is paid for. I used the money that Mia insisted on giving me and I pulled some out of my savings. I figured that since you're a hot shot CPA now you can pay for the rest," he said laughing.

"Nah, I think I'll use my money and decorate. You can finish paying for it," she told him, causing him to laugh harder.

They walked back downstairs and wandered around the house again, and then joined the others.

"So Liz, what do you think?" Mia excitedly asked.

"Honestly, I'm still in shock. I can't believe that he did this, that he's doing this."

Liz played the exceptional hostess, making sure that everyone had everything they needed, always asking if they needed anything else. Not that she minded, she loved their little family and their friends, new and old. Mia, Vince and Leon had come out, followed by Hector and a couple of his guys. Tim and Janae were there, along with some of the guys that were helping Dom with the house.

The day turned to evening and everyone pitched in and helped clean everything up. After everyone left, Dom went out to his truck and pulled a couple of blankets from his toolbox, grabbing a portable radio before closing the lid.

"What are those for?" Liz asked.

"I thought we might spend the night out here," he said, taking her hand and leading her up the stairs and into their bedroom.

She helped him spread the blankets out and watched as he turned on the radio, then he pulled her to him.

"Dom, what about the neighbors? Can't they see?" she asked as he started to pull her t-shirt up and off of her.

"It's getting dark. They won't be able to see up here," he said as he continued to undress her. "But you have to be quiet because they CAN hear," he said with a chuckle.

Liz smiled as she heard the song that was playing. He knew that she loved this song and it fit the way he felt about her. He kissed her, loving her mouth with his as one hand cupped her ass and letting the other slide up and down her back. He moved one hand to one of her breasts, slowly massaging it while his other hand slid between them, unbuttoning her shorts and sliding them down over her hips, letting them fall to the floor.

Dancin' in the dark

Middle of the night

Takin' your heart And holdin' it tight

Emotional touch Touchin' my skin And askin' you to do What you've been doin' all over again

Oh, it's a beautiful thing Don't think I can keep it all in I just gotta let you know What it is that won't let me go

It's your love It just does somethin' to me It sends a shock right through me I can't get enough And if you wonder About the spell I'm under It's your love

Dom tilted her face up to his as Tim sang the next verse.

Better than I was More than I am

And all of this happened

By takin' your hand

And who I am now Is who I wanted to be And now that we're together I'm stronger than ever I'm happy and free

He gently lowered her down onto the blankets, never once taking his eyes from her. He loved this woman more than he ever imagined that he could love someone. It was because of her that he was where he was now. He had everything he could ever imagine. A great job, family and friends who loved him, and a woman who had shown him in more ways than one exactly how deep her love was for him.

Liz lay on the blankets, oblivious to the hardness of the floor under them, loving the way Dom looked at her, as if she were a treasure. Dom reached down and grabbing the hem of his t-shirt, slowly lifted it up, exposing his bronze flesh, inch by agonizing inch. He loved to play with her this way. He kicked off his boots and then moved his hands to the button of his pants, grinning at Liz the entire time.

"Dom," she pleaded.

"What?" he asked, knowing that she enjoyed the game as much as he did.

Liz let out an exasperated sigh and watched as Dom unzipped his pants, and then slowly slid his hands to his hips and gently pushed them to the floor, leaving him totally nude to her gaze.

He was beautiful. She'd never understood what women meant when they talked about a beautiful male. She did now. And he was hers .. every glorious inch of his massive body was hers.

He stepped out of his pants, kicking them aside to join the other discarded clothing items, and then joined her on the blankets. He rolled her over onto her back, sliding her thong off and tossing it aside. Crawling up next to her, he kissed her forehead lightly, kissed her eyelids when her eyes fluttered shut, and Liz enjoyed the sensations humming throughout her body.

"Open your eyes," he quietly said.

Liz did as he asked and he looked into her eyes as he started to slowly slide down her body, never letting his tongue leave her skin. Between her breasts he went, licking up to one of her nipples and then gently sucked it into his mouth. He opened his mouth and sucked as much of her into it as he could, lightly licking her nipple. His hands softly played with her body, teasing her other nipple. He switched to her other side, never letting his tongue lose contact between it and her skin. He did the same to her other nipple, sucking it and biting it lightly.

Dom continued down her body. Once he reached the apex of her thighs, he didn't move. When she looked down at him, he licked her outer lips lightly, causing a shudder to course through her body. Dom pushed her legs farther apart and spread her lips ... his eyes locked on hers ... and licked the length of her.

He licked her clit lightly, flicking his tongue across it. Sliding his tongue down, he slowly pushed it inside of her, loving the taste of her essence. He pulled back and assaulted her clit again, except this time he slid one long finger inside of her, curling it and rubbing her g-spot until she started to shake, feeling her first orgasm of the night. Dom finally relented and licked his way up to look deep into her eyes, his hand still at her pussy.

He placed the head of his cock on top of her swollen lips, looking into her eyes as he rubbed it up and down the length of her slit, pushing it between her lips, teasing her. He continued this until Liz whimpered, knowing she wanted him inside of her. He slowly pushed himself into her warmth, feeling her innermost walls clenching at him, pulling him in deeper. Dom leaned down and kissed her deeply, rocking his body against hers. He pulled her legs up, placing them on his shoulders as he slid deeper into her.

Dom was in heaven.

Liz was having a hard time keeping quiet, but every now and then, she would let a quiet moan slip from between her lips, spurring Dom on even more. He continued to thrust himself into her until he felt her second orgasm fast approaching, her walls pulsing around him.

Knowing that he couldn't hold back much longer, he thrust deep into her one last time and allowed himself to let go, filling her so completely that their juices mingled and dripped onto the blankets. Liz slowly slid her legs from his shoulders as he braced himself on his elbows, careful not to let his full weight fall against her.

Snuggling her face into his chest, her lips brushed against his skin, feeling his heartbeat beginning to slow and his body began to relax. Looking out over the ocean, the full moon was rising, casting shadows all around. Dom wrapped his arms around Liz, pulling her gently against his spent body. She sighed quietly and snuggled into the crook of his arm, resting her leg over his.

"Ahhhh, this is the life," she quietly said.

"Yes baby, it certainly is. It's OUR life," Dom answered before drifting off to sleep.

The End
