Author Note: Okay, not a lot to say except thanks to everyone for their
amazing reviews!!
~~**~~** Mia, Lila and Letty were upstairs. Vince had finished filling Jesse in on the details, and he had passed out on the floor, like a foetus. Dom and Vince were sitting in a comfortable silence, replaying the earlier events in their minds. So many thoughts ran through Dom's mind. Would Jesse returning from his little adventure, have made it in time to stop Brian from doing more damage? What if he had fucked Letty upstairs, oblivious to how that scum was treating his blood sisters? What if Vince couldn't have heard their cries for help? What if Lila had stayed inside, and not ran to get help? But the one thought that embedded itself was how it was Leon who had saved her - no, them. He knew that any of his brothers would do anything in a second to help out his baby sisters, and vice versa. Leon had proved to Dom that he genuinely felt something for her, and didn't just want her for her looks, or for who she was. Not only had he saved her from Brian's clutches, he was tending to her wounds upstairs...UPSTAIRS! What could they be doing upstairs?
He sprang out of his chair, surprising Vince and even himself. He reached the landing to find the bathroom door open.
~~**~~**
Letty headed upstairs to Mia's room. Mia had had a bath, to wash away the touch of his hands on her.
"Hey, chica, want anything?" she asked, her Spanish accent filling the moonlit room. Mia just looked up at her and held out her arms. She went over to the edge of the bed and hugged her.
"Don't worry, girl. Leon, V and Dom sorted him out good. He won't be eating any tuna for a while...and if he does it'll be through a straw." Mia laughed at Letty's little joke to cheer her up. The three of them sat in silence for awhile. Letty felt slightly uncomfortable. She was used to noise, to something happening around her.
"I'ma heading off downstairs to grab a drink, you want anything?"
"A hot chocolate?" Mia kind of asked. Letty nodded.
"Lila?"
"Something strong please Letty."
"That's what I was thinking" she winked and exited the room. She stopped when she saw Dom on the landing, and asked him what was wrong when he saw his shocked face.
~~**~~** Following Letty upstairs, Leon practically had to drag Elly into the bathroom.
"You need those cuts seen to Elly." he was adamant.
"Leon, they're cuts! I'm not going to DIE from them am I?!" They had reached the bathroom.
"Sit." He pointed to the edge of the bathtub, a trickle of water left there seeped through her clothing. From the countless times that Mia and Elly had fixed up Jesse, V, Dom and himself up, he knew were everything was, and how to use it. He poured some antiseptic ointment onto a piece of cotton wool, and gently lifted her right arm.
"A'ight, girl. This is gonna sting like a bitch."
"Gee, thanks for sugar coating it for me." She said sarcastically.
"I was." his voice was low, raspy and serious. He looked at her till she met is gaze, and their eyes locked once more.
"Just keep looking at me, don't look at what I'm doing."
Now his voice was gentle, but stern. She cried out when he first applied the cotton wool to her open wound. Brian must have cut deeper that it looked. She tried to pull away, but his grip tightened. She quickly looked own to see what he was doing, then his words repeating in her mind, she looked back up into those gorgeous dark green eyes. He applied the cotton wool to the last of her cuts. This one hurt the most, and she stood up quickly to escape the pain. Their hips collided with each other with the force of her standing. He threw the cotton wool into the bin without taking is eyes off her face then let his muscular arms encircle her waist. She ran her manicured nails up his arms, slowly, teasingly, and then closed them around his neck. He leant down, his lips connecting with hers. She responded by pressing her chest against his, and opening her mouth very slowly, teasing his roaming tongue inside. As their tongues touched for the fist time, a low growl came from deep inside his throat. Elly pulled back.
"Leon." The moan escaped her hungry lips, tilting her head slightly backwards.
"What's wrong?" he asked quietly.
"Kiss me." The words scarcely left her mouth before he began kissing and nibbling her neck. This time a low groan escaped from far inside her throat. He pulled back, and she slowly bought her head forward. He took her hands from his neck, and clasped them in front of his chest.
~~**~~** Letty quietly approached Dom.
"Pervert." She whispered in his ear. Shocked by someone being behind him, he cried out.
"Ah! Christ, Letty!"
~~**~~** The sudden loudness of Dom's low voice made Leon drop Elly's hands in surprise. Elly peered around the door; Leon stood behind her, hand on the small of her back. She furrowed her eyebrows.
"How long have you been there?" Surprisingly, this question caught Dom off guard. For a moment he was embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.
"I...I...shut up!" he retorted. 'Yeah, shut up.' He mimicked in his head.
"Bro, what did you see?" Elly was so close to him that his words echoed down her spine, and sent shivers of hot fire throughout her body. At that moment Jesse arrived at the top of the stairs, followed by Vince. A shout from upstairs had woken Jesse up, and forced Vince to investigate. Jesse laughed.
"I think everybody knows what Dom and Letty saw." He smiled.
"What's that?" Vince asked Jesse, a confused look on his face.
"Dawg, how many beers you had tonight? They kissed!" Mia's bedroom door burst open.
"They kissed!" she squealed. Lila squealed too behind her, and they began jumping up and down. Letty, Dom, Jesse and Vince all had one thought on their minds.
'Girls.' Elly was pushing her head further into Leon's chest, hoping to escape the situation. He gently prised her away with his hand under her chin.
"I think we should give 'em something to all scream about." He winked and moved down to her lips. She mechanically placed one hand on the back of his neck, drawing him in more, and the other placed lightly on his hip. Jesse screamed out,
"Argh! That's disgusting!" and ran downstairs, laughing. Letty was smiling, Vince had a 'Well, whaddyaknow?' look on his face; Mia and Lila were still jumping, and Dom decided it was time to take charge of the situation. He took two steps towards them, and pulled them apart. Elly looked shocked and slightly scared, and Leon just looked scared.
"If ya wanna do that shit to my baby sister, go do it in a bedroom!" he spat out. Leon grabbed Elly's hand and took her downstairs, passing a laughing Vince. Letty led Dom to their room, knowing she would have to work the image of them kissing from his mind; Mia and Lila went back into Mia's room. When Vince had contained himself, he headed downstairs to his room.
Leon and Elly were facing each other on the sofa.
"I never expected that to happen." He breathed.
"Me neither." She shook her head. He cupped her cheek in his hand. He lightly brushed her cheek with a kiss, and said,
"You're so beautiful." Before embracing her in a hug. Jesse came in from the kitchen, mouthful of sandwich.
"No, THAT'S beautiful!" he teased, pointed towards them. Leon grabbed a cushion and threw it at him.
"Oi! Mind the sandwich!" Elly leaned toward Leon and gave him a long soft kiss on his goatee.
"I'm headin' off to bed...been a long night." He looked down at her, and slowly placed his hand on her knee, lightly, not wanting to scare her.
"You gonna be okay?" he gave her knee a quick squeeze.
"I'll be fine. G'night." She gave him another quick kiss on his cheek, and bounced out the room.
"Night." He called after her, watching her leave.
"That's cute." Jesse said, still with a mouthful of sandwich. He threw the cushion back at Leon, catching him unaware. He gave out a short laugh.
"Ha! THAT'S funny!" Just then Elly came back into the room, and walked up to Jesse, grabbing his head with her hands, she gave him a long kiss on the cheek. Puling back she said playfully,
"Can't forget you, can I Jess?" she laughed, ruffled his hair and ran back upstairs. Leon fell backwards onto the sofa, laughing.
"No, dawg, THAT'S funny!"
~~**~~**Next Morning~~**~~**Saturday~~**
Elly was the first one up, and had cleared the mess from last night's short- lived party. She was making French toast for breakfast, when Mia and Dom came in.
"Mornin'" she greeted them.
"Mmm, French toast. Smells better when you're not the one making it!" Mia kissed her sister on the cheek, then headed out for the mail and newspaper. Dom kissed her on the top of her head.
"Sleep well?" he went over to the coffee machine, leaning against the counter.
"Yup."
"Where'd u sleep?" Elly turned round to face him, arms crossed.
"My room. Alone"
"Jus' checking." He defended himself, taking a seat at the table. Vince walked in, rubbing his sleepy eyes, growling.
"Aw, man, I got hardly any sleep last night." He said, also taking a place at the table. Dom looked up and scowled at Elly as she placed some French toast on the table.
"I thought you said you slept in your room? Alone?"
"I did!" she shrieked in her defence.
"Naw, Dom, Jesse was talking to this girl for ages on the Internet last night. All I could hear was him typing on the keyboard. So I moved to the couch, but Leon's cashed out on it. So I'm back to square one!"
"Aww, V, here this'll wake you up." Elly gave him a big cup of black coffee, taking a seat.
"How's your arm, Ell?" Dom asked.
"Doesn't hurt a bit." She smiled. Vince chuckled.
"Yeah, cos Leon fixed her up." He said to himself. Ely smacked him round the arm.
"I heard that!"
"Heard what?" asked Dom, knowing it was smutty.
"Nothing." Elly quickly dismissed it. "Anyone know how Mia's doing?"
"What do you mean, did Brian hurt her too?" asked Dom, finishing off his toast. Elly realised that they didn't know that Brian had touched her.
"Umm, no he didn't hurt her...exactly..." she tailed off.
"What did he do?" Vince leaned in closer to her, his voice low and angry. Mia came in then. All eyes on her, she felt like a deer in headlights.
"What?"
"What did he do to you?" Vince couldn't even speak his name; it was like a disease. Mia looked at Elly, then at Dom, then at Vince, and ran upstairs. Dom immediately took off after her.
"Elly, what did he do?" He asked again, oh hell, he was going to find out anyway.
"Touched her."
"He fucking what?" his tone was surprisingly low, but the anger and disgust seemed to echo around the kitchen. Letty entered.
"Who did what?" she grabbed herself a coffee, and plopped herself next to Elly.
"Brian touched Mia." she said with a sigh. Hearing it again, made Vince stand up and walk out the room. Jesse entered, and immediately sat down.
"Brian touched Mia?" he repeated, reaching for French toast. Elly nodded.
"Son of a bitch." Letty hissed, her eyes darting around the room, trying to get it in her head.
"Whoa." Was all Jesse could say. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Letty asked slyly,
"So, Elly, how did you sleep last night?" Elly stuck her tongue out and replied,
"Very well. In MY room. On my own." Letty and Jesse sniggered.
"You two are children." She stood up from the table. Jesse let out an
"Oooo, bitchy!"
"I'm going to wake Leon up." Ely stormed off down to the basement, cup of coffee in her hand for Leon.
"Wake him up? Never heard it been called that before!" he burst out laughing, along with Letty. Letty stopped, as she realised that they were all alone. She suddenly felt uncomfortable, and made an excuse to go into the living room.
~~**~~**
Leon was sprawled out on his back. Elly knocked, and hearing no response, she quietly entered. The morning sun was pouring through the tiny window he had in his room onto his chest. Elly stopped as she took in his stomach. It wasn't muscular, but he was on his way to a six pack. Her eyes drifted further south. 'Damn!' she thought as she realised the sheets were covering his waist. She walked slowly over to the cluttered bedside table, and placed the coffee on it, not wanting to make a sound. She hoisted herself onto the bed, on all fours. She swiftly made her way over to him. She leaned forward so that her face was directly above his. She smiled as she took in is features; freshened by his nights sleep.
His eyes, without warning, opened up sharply. She jerked her head back at the surprise. He rolled her over onto her back, resting on is ands, his face inches from hers.
"You scared the hell outta me!" she took a swipe at his arm.
"Ha! This coming from the girl who sneaks into people's bedrooms, watching them as they sleep?" she opened her mouth, but found no words to come out. His voice had silenced her. It was normally raspy, but now, early in the morning it came out like a growling purr. He raised an eyebrow, challenging her to defend herself.
"I bought you coffee." She pouted, twisting her head to the bedside table. His only response was him leaning down to kiss her. She licked is lips, never giving him entrance to her out; she waned to tease him. She knew it was working when a growl was let out from his throat. She pulled back, giggled, then kissed him hard. This time she immediately opened her mouth, and their tongues explored each other's mouths. She arched her hips towards his, as he took her arms and pinned them over her head. She moaned as is hands then began to caress her sides. He suddenly pulled back.
"Elly, if I don't stop now...I won't be able to control myself..." he breathed. Her chest was rising and falling quickly with her breaths. She could only nod. They stayed there in silence, until Elly giggled.
"What?"
"I made a bet with myself that you sleep in your boxers."
"What do you win?" His eyes glinting with mischievousness. She rolled him over onto is back.
"I'll claim my prize later." She winked, jumped of the bed, and sped out of sight.
~~**~~** Author Note: Wahey! They finally got it together! Will it be a smooth journey, or will there be major road works for the new couple? Is that the only new couple within the house? Is Letty being silly in thinking that Jesse likes her? Or is her sixth sense right on target? Will Mia continue her search for her idea of a perfect man? Or will she settle on the perfect man for her? You'll have to wait!
~~**~~** Mia, Lila and Letty were upstairs. Vince had finished filling Jesse in on the details, and he had passed out on the floor, like a foetus.
