Authors Note: Glad you all liked the last chapter. I freaked out after I posted it because I hadn't realized how big the gap between events was. I wasn't going to update again till I got my computer back, but I really want to smooth out the transition. My computer won't be back for at least a week, so this update will have to do till it returns. Savor it while you can.
That's when Dom walked in.
Jesse and were laughing, giving each other hell. Totally innocent.
Only that's not how Dom reacted.
Before I can say anything, Dom is on Jesse, yanking him off me, holding the boy in the air. He was ready to bash Jesse's head in. Jesse was too shocked to say anything; he couldn't do anything. Dom probably has forty pounds of muscle and 6 inches on Jesse. It would have been futile.
"Dominic," I say softly, putting my arm on his. "No."
Hearing my voice, Dom looks down at me and blinks twice. "That's Jesse, Dominic. He's your friend." My words are slow and feel thick on my tongue. I put a second hand on Dom, this one on the small of his back. I can feel the heat pulsing out of him.
Dom blinks again and puts Jesse down slowly. Looking at me once again, Dom searches for something and finds it, but I'm not sure if it was approval r the next set of instructions.
Instinctively, I keep cooing to Dom, totally ignoring Jesse who is shaking a little as he backs away quickly. "Good Dominic, that's good."
Dom snakes his arms around me and pulls me to him. He lifts me up and carries me to the office, cradling me in his arms. Carrying me into the office, he reaches behind himself and locks the door, still holding me against his body.
I've stopped talking now. The office is quiet, the only sound in the room is that of the fan. I'm resting against him, my face on his shoulder. I can feel his heart beating wildly, calling to my own, making it race to catch up.
Dom places me gently on my feet and starts to undress me slowly. I stand there, not helping, but not interfering either. He's struggling with whatever demons residing within him. They have stolen him away from me, but somehow he is gentle with me as always. His face is not angry or sad. He looks neither horny or hurt. Instead there is a quiet look of determination. He needs something, but he's not sure what. I'm not sure either, but I know that if I have it to give, I'll share it with him willingly.
When I am completely naked Dom takes my hands and puts them on the buttons of his cover alls. I smile up at him adoringly and nod as I start to undress him. His skin is so different from mine, but just as rich. His nearly olive complexion compliments my more toasted cinnamon tones.
As if he knew what I was thinking he smiled down at me and whispered my name as I helped him step out of the last of his clothes. He held his fingers so that they brushed down my sides as I stood up.
"Our babies will be beautiful Mira," he said as he kissed me. His touch was possessive, but not dominant. It was as if he was trying to protect me. As if he was the one who lacked the eloquence necessary to express himself with words. This was his way. It was our way.
It took a moment for his words to penetrate. I looked up once again, this time with wonder. "Our babies?"
"Our babies," he smiled. He placed wet kisses on my neck. "Someday... we'll have babies together. Live in a big house with a yard. Two dogs. Three kids."
The combination of his words and his touch was enough to make me shudder. I put my hands on his body, intending only to steady my self. Somewhere far away I could hear soft panting laced with feminine whimpers.
Closer than that, however, was Dom's hot pressing need. It wasn't just his cock, though, that was making its presence known. His whole being emanated it.
He picked me up carefully and placed me on the couch so that my legs hung over one arm and my hips were elevated slightly. Without notice he started to kiss me there and I had to bite my fist to keep from screaming too loudly. For what seems like an eternity he kept at it, touching and kissing me. Knowing I was still tender, he concentrated on my clit, using his fingers to caress my core only sparingly.
Just before the end I grabbed a pillow and pressed it to my mouth. I came hard, screaming out that I loved him. My words were muffled but I know he heard me. Usually if Dom and I fooled around like this, he liked to press himself in between my breasts, but today he didn't have time for that. He may only be a quarter Cuban , but he had enough Latino in him to enjoy that. But moments after I had cried out, Dom stood and started to cum himself. I watched as he spilled onto that feminine expanse of flesh between my belly button and my bikini line. It was only the second time I'd seen him actually finish. Well, seen Big Dom finish. It was... fascinating.
Looking into his eyes, I knew he was about to pass out so I stood up and pushed him gently down so that he took my place on the couch. I reached for the secret stash of baby wipes we'd hidden under the couch and wiped myself clean. I threw the used wipe away and crawled on top of Dom.
We slept there together, passed out for three hours. It was the phone that woke us. Mia was calling to ask Dom to bring home some groceries that they don't stock at their place. He got dressed as he talked to her on the phone, and, amazingly enough, somehow managed to write a list of a few other things they needed at the same time.
As he hung up the phone he kneeled in front of me and smiled. "I like seeing you naked."
I gave him a soft smile, and stayed where I was, too sleepy to argue or be embarrassed. "What time is it Papi?"
"Almost 7:30. Mia needs some of this stuff for dinner. You wanna come with or do you want to go back to your place?"
I sat up slowly shook my head no. "I gotta do some homework."
Dom tweaked my nose and stood up. "Now that's one part of school I don't miss."
I got home about 20 minutes later and after having a quick convo with my family members, I headed up to my room and called Mia.
"Hallo?" From the way Mia answered the phone I could tell she was in the middle of something.
Flopping on my bed, I flipped thru the stack of birthday cards that had come for me in today's mail. "Hey chica. Wassup?"
"Finally. Damn, it sucks that you're up at the Academy. I hate that I can't grill you on stuff during the day." I could hear Mia running up the stairs to her room. She was quiet till she got the door closed. "So... were you surprised?"
"Yeah. How'd you convince Dom that the party should be at Adrian's?" Thinking back on yesterday's events, I was still amazed at them.
"Well, we couldn't have it at the garage, the pitt is too crowded right now with racing stuff, your place was out, our place was out and well, Adrian volunteered via Jesse." I could just picture Mia ticking off the reasons on her fingers.
"Speaking of Jesse, Dom almost killed him this afternoon." I sighed and waited for Mia to react.
"What do you mean Dom almost killed Jesse. Like there was an accident at the garage?" Mia was totally confused.
"Yeah- no. Dom walked in on me and Jesse horsing around and like, flipped his shit. He had Jesse up in the air and would have beat the shit out of him but somehow I managed to calm him down. It was weird, all I had to do was say Dom's name and touch him and he just- relaxed. But I guess Adrian really fucked Dom up yesterday."
Mia was silent for a moment. "You have this power over Dom that none of us have. I can nag him about something for weeks and he'll totally ignore me. You just say something in passing and Dom will instantly offer to do that same thing for you that I was after him about."
I snorted. "Whatever."
"It's true Letty, and you know it," Mia teased. "That's how I figured out that Dom was in love with you. Well that and the fact that his eyes would follow you for miles. I'm glad you two are together."
I thought about it for a moment before silently capitulating the point to her. "Do you think anyone else figured it out? I mean there were a lot of people there yesterday, and most of them didn't look shocked to see me walk in holding Dom's hand."
"Well, the two of you have known each other forever. And it just... makes sense. Vince had a cow though. That was hilarious." Mia started laugh and couldn't stop.
Her laughter was infectious and soon I was laughing too. "Yeah that was some pretty funny shit. I thought he was going to wet himself. I almost asked him if he was drunk or something, but since the party started at noon..."
Now it was Mia's turn to snort. "Oh like you were so much more smooth when Dom and your mom gave you your gift."
"Well I knew Mama was going to get me a car, but that Nissan is going to be fucking awesome once I get it tuned up and we finish the body work." My very own 240 SX. Damn I'm a lucky girl. "It was a pretty fucking awesome day."
"Except maybe for the part where Adrian got wasted and Dom wanted to kick the shit out of him." Trust Mia to focus on the details.
"Yeah that pretty much sucked. Dom has always had this thing about Adrian too. I mean we had this fight once, I mean huge blow out, and when Dom was begging, he didn't even try to make me forgive him. He just begged me not to call Adrian, like he was worried I was going to replace him with Adrian." I sighed, thinking back to the day of the college fair.
"I can't really blame him. You sort of did replace him with Adrian." Again with the details. Mia was obviously trying to bust on me.
Wait. What was she talking about? Did she know that- I mean why did she say-. "What do you mean I replaced Dom with Adrian?"
"Girl, you've been following Dom around since the day you met him. The only time you weren't on him like a shadow was during the two weeks you were with Suarez." She paused for a moment, realizing that wasn't completely true.
I tried to rush the conversation along, not wanting to explain to her that I'd been swapping spit with Dom for a hell of a lot longer than she knew. "But Mi, that was like, last June. It's March. Don't you think it's been long enough that-"
Mia interrupted me, sounding pretty mad. "Wait. From the moment you started working at the garage until graduation, you and Dom fought like... Communists and Capitalist, like Capulets and Montagues. You couldn't stand to be in the same room together... Did something happen between you before yesterday?"
Shit. So Screwed. "Um. Mi. Look, just-"
Mia's voice went up like 4 octaves. "Oh eww, Letty, please tell me you two haven't been fucking this entire time!"
"No! Don't worry. Yesterday was the first time." Shit, again. She probably didn't need to know that.
"Letty, he's my brother- please, no more. I've decided I don't really want to know. Although I always thought we'd talk about our first times, but maybe ignorance is bliss."
"Good choice. But, um, just so you don't think I'm a slut who gives it up on the first date, Dom and I... like, it wasn't as sudden as it looks, you know? I wanted to tell you, but if I did you would have told Tony and Tony did NOT approve. He, I mean Tony loosened up a lot about it when my Dad was..." I swallowed the lump in my throat, but couldn't go on.
Sensing my emotional overload, Mia kindly took over the conversation. "So if you and Dom are so stable, then why does he freak out so much about Adrian?"
"I don't freaking know. It probably doesn't help that Adrian basically told me he was still in love with me in September when we went back to school, but I've hardly seen him since then. And I don't know what the hell Age was thinking yesterday." I could still smell the tequila on Adrian's breath when I remembered the incident...
"What exactly happened? I was on the other side of the room talking to someone," Mia asked.
"I just went to thank him for helping out with the party and he asked me to dance. It was okay at first, but then a slow song came on and Adrian... got a little too close. I told him to knock it off, like as nicely as I could, but he just got belligerent and started getting a little rough." I cringed, remembering that his hands had been a little too familiar. "And that's when Dom cut in. When Adrian wouldn't take a hint, Dom flipped and yanked him off me and threw him aside. Then Adrian got all loud and big and just wouldn't shut up. That's when I thought Dom was going to kill him."
"And that's when Adrian's mom started to yell at Adrian?" Mia asked, starting to figure out the timeline.
"Pretty much." I twirled and untwirled the phone chord around my fingers. "I felt a little bad for Adrian, so I just grabbed Dom and we left. He calmed down by the time we got to my house."
"And since you knew your mom them would stay, make peace with the Suarez's and help clean up, you jumped Dom's bones." Mia sounded so prissy it was surreal to hear her use those last four words.
"Uh yeah." Busted.
"Without any detailed explanation, on a scale from 1-10, 10 being a perfect score... how was it?" Mia asked.
"Honestly?" I said slowly, "We've done other things that I liked better. The first part hurt, and then it was awkward- I mean I didn't know what I was doing and my bed is so small. It got a lot better, but it almost... it almost lasted too long. Dom's... well let's just say after I get used to it, I'll be happy about it. Very happy. I guess I'd say 7-7.5."
"Remind me not to ask you anything like that again," Mia said dryly. "Shit, Dom just got home. I'll see you later, kay?"
"Sure thing. And if you tell Dom I gave him a C, I'll kill you."
"Sure thing," Mia laughed. "Bye."
"Bye."
That's when Dom walked in.
