Chapter 8

Brian opened the door to his houseboat. He flipped the switch on the wall and an overhead light came on, giving a soft glow to the room. He stepped aside to let Mia in and closed the door.

"Excuse the mess. I haven't cleaned up in a while," Brian said, kicking clothes and shoes out of the way on the floor to clear a path to the bed, the only place to sit in the room.

"Don't worry about it. I live with the team. Remember?" Mia said, taking a seat on the end of the rumpled bed.

"Yeah." Brian sat down beside her. Taking a deep breath, "Mia, I'm sorry," he said taking her hand in his. "I never meant to hurt you. That first time I came into the store and ordered that nasty ass tuna sandwich, I was just a cop doing my job, but every time after that, I was a man who wanted to spend time with a very beautiful woman. I wanted to see you, be near you. I hated having to lie to you. It tore me up inside to see the look of anger and hurt that I had caused you." He ran his hand through his hair. "Every day without you has been hell for me. It was like a part of me was missing and I knew there was no way I'd ever get it back. I thought about you everyday. I hoped I'd get the chance to tell you how I feel."

"I don't hate you Brian," Mia said softly, with tears in her eyes. "I felt betrayed, but I never hated you. I couldn't stand the thought that the man I loved was the same man that was trying to take my family from me." Brian wiped away the tears on her cheeks. "I'm not saying that what they were doing was right, but they're all I have. The team is all they have. We were all pissed off at you, but you saved Vince, stood up for Jesse, and you didn't take my brother away. They're brother away. So we figured you couldn't be all that bad."

"You guys are all I have too you know. You guys and Rome and the crew. All of you are my family. I missed them, you know? Dom telling everybody what to do and looking out for everybody. He was like the big brother I never had but always wanted. Letty speaking her mind and not caring how you take it, Leon and Jesse goofing off and cracking jokes." Chuckling, he said, "I even missed fighting with Vince, if you can believe it. I love 'em all. But don't tell the guys that, I don't want them getting the wrong ideas. Besides they'd probably look at me funny and think I'm sensitive.," Brian said smiling.

Mia laughed, "I won't tell them." She reached out and ran her hand along his cheek. "I love you. I'll always love. All I ask is that you never lie to me again. Or I'll have my brother kick your ass for real," she said gingerly touching his already swollen eye.

Brian kissed her softly on the lips. "I'll never lie to you again." He looked into her chocolate brown eyes and said, "I love you."

"I love you," Mia said, kissing him lightly on the lips. Brian nipped at her bottom lip and she opened her mouth, allowing him to slip his tongue inside.

Mia slid her hand under his T-shirt, slowly moving her finger tips across his washboard stomach and over his chest. When she couldn't get access to enough skin, she broke the kiss and lifted the hem of his T-shirt. Brian quickly took over the job and removed the T-shirt and tossed it on the floor, capturing her lips in another kiss. Mia pushed him down on the bed and ran her hands over his shoulders and back. She burned a trail of kisses from his cheek to his collar bone.

Brian's muscled clenched when Mia flicked her tongue across his nipple, causing it to harden. She did the same for the other nipple then blew on it. At that, Brian experience what felt like a jolt of electricity run through his veins, ending in his already hardened penis. Mia continued her trail of kisses down to his navel. When she placed a kiss just above the button of his low riding shorts, Brian let out a growl and sat up gathering Mia into his arms for another passionate kiss.

Brian pulled her top over her head and quickly undid her bra. He laid her down on the bed and took a moment to just look at her. He took one finger and lightly let it glide over her skin, watching goose bumps form as he moved from her neck down to her breast and then along her side down to her waist. He bent down and took a nipple in his mouth, rolling the other one between his thumb and forefinger. Mia let out a moan and ran her hands through his hair, holding him in place. He moved down to her naval, trailing kisses as he went. He unbuttoned her jeans and she lifted her hips, helping him remove her them and panties.

"You're so beautiful." He said when she lay completely naked before him. He lifted one of her legs and kissed the arch of her foot, causing her to giggle from the sensation. He kissed his way up her calf, the back of her knee, and along her thigh. He did the same for the other leg, this time kissing the juncture of her thigh and pelvis. She was shaking and making soft whimpering noises from the sensations he was stirring in her.

When he finally kissed her most sensitive area, she arched off the bed. "Brian!" she gasped, to which he just smiled.

She could stand it no longer, had waited too long. She sat up and reached for the button on his shorts. She unzipped them and began pushing them down, taking his boxers along with them. Brian stood and kicked the shorts from his feet. He lay down beside her and placed kisses on her eyelids. Mia reached down and wrapped her fingers around him, causing Brian's heart to skip a beat. He let out a growl and covered her body with his, nudging her thighs open.

"I love you Mia," he said, at the same time as he entered her.

She pulled his head down to hers for a greedy kiss, their tongues mirroring the dance of their lower bodies. He thrust into her slowly at first, faster as the pressure inside them both increased to almost explosive levels. He gave one final thrust and they both cried out.

For a moment they just lay their like that, spreading kisses over each others face. Brian shifted his weight off of her and lay beside her. He gathered her into his arms, "I'll always love you Mia," he said as they both drifted off into peaceful slumber.
