Chapter Six: Wake Up Call
It had been a while since Letty'd woken up feeling as tired as she did refreshed.
Shifting slightly, she smiled to herself when she felt Dom's arm tighten around her waist and keep her close to him. She turned over and got as close to him as she could without sitting on top of him.
"I love you, Dom." Letty whispered in his ear, her fingers trailing lazily up and down his breastbone. A growl escaped from her lover's throat.
"Whatchu doin', Letty?" his voice was gravelly as his eyes remained closed.
"What does it look like? I'da thought you'd know a wake-up call when ya got one." She said softly, the tips of her hair grazing his collar bone. It was then that Dom finally opened his eyes.
"I'd almost forgotten how right it feels to have you here with me," Dom said as she laid back down beside him, laying her head on his chest.
"Dom?"
"Mm?'
"Why'd you stop callin'?" At the asking of this question, Dom felt a knot grow in his stomach. He'd felt guilty about no longer calling her like clockwork, the way he had the first eight years of his daughter's life. At that moment, he could only think of one thing to say.
"Why'd you stop comin' to Wars when she turned eight?"
"Things got complicated, Dominic. I got lucky on a few odd jobs here and there," Letty explained, "and before I knew it, I was a manager at the garage belonging to some guy Harry knows."
"Harry never said anything—"
"Because I asked him not to…" Letty said, "I was trying to prove to myself that I could make a life for myself outside of the garage." Whatever else Letty had been about to say, it was quickly forgotten when Dom pulled her into another heated kiss.
"I'm goin' with you, when you go to Santa Rosa." he murmured against her lips. She laughed and it drove him crazy like it always had.
"That eager to have me all to yourself again, are you?" Letty purred into his ear. There was something feral about the way he growled at her as he flipped her onto her back, en route to showing her just how much he'd missed her.
