Chapter Four
Watching Rasta make his retreat, Dom felt himself loosen up.
Letty tried to quiet her racing heartbeat after witnessing Dom's alpha display. She tilted her face upward to meet Dom's gaze and he just shook his head. She crooked her finger at him and he squatted down, coming even with Letty where she sat. She grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him closer to her.
"Did you like that, marking your territory in front of that midget with a license?"
"Can't say it wasn't satisfying," he replied with a smirk. "The question is, did you like it?" He brought his hand up to slide his fingers across her chin in a caress.
Letty shrugged. "A little."
It was rare that Dom actually got in someone's face for hitting on her, but there was no question that he was quite possessive. Mostly, it didn't come up because everyone knew that she was off limits and Letty usually shut down any dick with less than honorable intentions. On the other hand, she did hate when he got too friendly with other girls and was always stepping to the skanks who flocked around him. It was nice to see his irritation when the tables were turned.
Letty gripped one Dom's arms as he continued to run his fingers along her neck. "Just as long as you remember that no one owns me, right?" The intensity in her eyes held their usual hypnotic beauty.
"How could I forget?"
He brought his lips to hers, igniting a passionate kiss that had him exploring her like he did when they were alone, naked and in a good mood. Letty responded by taking his face in her palms and gently rubbing her thumb across his cheeks. Her delicate touch was a scintillating contrast to the lustful way they were devouring each other's mouths.
Dom pulled back and slid his hand down to rest on her thigh. "It's a good thing I'm all yours then." He went back in for a brief taste of her lips and then stood from his crouch.
"Get a room," came a voice from behind the two of them.
His god-sister, Hayley, was standing a couple feet away, hands on her hips and nose wrinkled in disgust. Letty laughed at the girl and mouthed 'later,' up at her man. He winked in confirmation.
Vince turned to look up at Hayley and Dom, as well. "Damn straight. You two are ridiculous, all making out in public," he mumbled. "At least I keep my bitches on the down low." He grinned at them anyway. A happy Dom and Letty meant everyone else got to be happy too.
"Yet you still call them bitches. You're a model citizen, Vince." Letty leaned back to address the girl behind her. "Yo, Hayley, is Dom done lecturing you?"
When Letty walked up and saw Dom and his god-sister talking, she didn't even need three guesses to figure out what was going on. What the young girl was wearing and how animated Dom's conversation was with her was a dead giveaway.
Hayley sauntered over to stand next to the trio. "I hope so. He's being such a spaz complaining about what I've got on and who I'm hanging out with." She turned to the man next to her and pouted like the teenager she was. "You're not my dad, Dom."
Dom wasn't having it though. "You're right, I'm not your dad. I'm much worse. What kind of god-brother would I be if I didn't look out for you. Your mom would kill me and I'm not trying to get on her bad side." The girl rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to tell him off, cheeks flushed and arms akimbo.
Letty poked the girl gently with one of her booted feet. "Hey, before you two go at it again, let me just sum things up, okay. Hayley, don't be a slut. Dom, don't be a drag. Problem solved."
"I'm not being a slut!" Hayley insisted. "That's what I've been trying to tell him. I'm not Monica. Now THAT'S a slut, even if she is my cousin. I have on more clothes than most of the girls around here anyway," she added, perusing their scene.
Dom scoffed. "That's not saying much."
Letty slapped him on the leg, quieting him instantly. "Chill, man. You can't lock her down. Didn't you learn anything with me and Mia?"
"And look where that got you," Vince said from next to her, making Letty and Hayley laugh.
Dom scowled. "You keep laughing." He nudged Letty's shoulder with his knee. "You could do worse, baby. Like that fool that just left here."
Letty's chuckles died down, a smirk appearing in its place. She had that deliciously wicked way about her as she began stroking his leg. "You've got a point. I guess it turned out alright for me." She offered up the rest of her beer and he took it from her, a small smile dancing across his face.
"Anyway, Hayley, just stay close to us or to your brother and you're good. There are too many assholes roaming around here and we've got other things to do besides beating down some jerk tonight."
Dom sent her a hard look but Letty ignored it. Maybe he didn't want to acknowledge the stress of what they had to do later, but it helped to get it off her chest a little.
"So behave, okay, girl," Letty continued. "You can go crazy when we're on the block but out here, let us keep an eye on you."
Hayley crossed her arms in front of her. "Fine, Letty. Geez." She walked off to the crowd of people a few feet away, hovering around her brother's car. When she stopped to stand with one of her girlfriends, her brother raised his beer to Dom in thanks.
"It's like we're babysitters and not racers out here," Dom grumbled.
Letty chuckled. "Aw, pobrecito. I'll take care of you later on. Just like last night" She looked him up and down, her meaning clear even behind her sunglasses.
"You better," he said, voice dripping seduction. "And remind me to tell you about my dream." He leaned down and stroked her cheek with affection. He warmed at the feel of her grin against his fingers.
"Gross," Vince whispered beside them. Letty stomped on his foot and the two began their usual mock tussling.
Dom sighed, gripping the empty beer bottle in his hand. He walked to the cooler and opened a new one, drying it off before handing it to Letty. While he was up, he noticed one of his contacts coming towards him and turned to meet him.
"Let's just get through tonight and then we'll go from there." Letty and Vince ceased their play and nodded solemnly as Dom walked away. The sun was just starting to set and time was creeping up on them. It was going to be a long night.
Dom greeted his contact and they made small talk until they were interrupted by Leon. He was running towards them and it didn't look like he was bringing good news.
Shit, it was always something.
