Chapter 10: Race Day 2

Dom's PoV

I still wasn't sure how I had allowed Letty to talk me into this, but here I was watching my girlfriend sitting at the start line of her first race, in my car.

"you do realize how whipped you are right?" Leon mutters in my ear.

"shut up or I'll let her whip you." I growl back. I stalk over to the line up and lean into my driver window, arm across the top.

"You sure you ready for this?" I ask.

"of course I am, no other way for me to get the money to finish my car quickly." She said looking up at me.

"I can get you the money, Let."

"I have to do this on my own Dom."

"ok, just don't scratch the paint job, remember to double clutch, and don't hit anyone."

"now is that last one so I don't harm the car or so I don't get hurt?" she asked cockily.

"Both." My answer rumbled out and I pressed my lips to her. I stepped back to the edge of the line up and watch as Monica stood center of the cars ready to start the race as soon as Victor gave the call.

Letty's PoV

I watched as the skank in front of me raised her arms above her head one at a time before throwing both arms down at the same time. Quickly I let go of the brake and moved my foot over to Dom's clutch. From there it was all muscle memory as I sped ahead of the rest cutting in front of Edwin's car with only inches to spare between the two bumpers. I glanced in the passenger side mirror and saw Marco's green hood speeding up next to me. Swiftly I cut in front of him and sped up just a little more. Muttering a quick prayer as we approached the first turn I popped the car into second before pulling the hand break. Much to my surprise I drifted around the corner, not quite smoothly but I didn't roll either. Rapidly I punched the car again trying to gain more speed on those behind me. I repeated this three more times around the other corners and pulled across the finish line two full car lengths ahead of Marco. I got out of the car a grin plastered on my face. I'm not sure who got to me first but soon I was surrounded in a Toretto Sandwich.

"good job baby!" Dom said in my ear before spinning me around to press his lips to mine.

"so does that mean I can race in your car again?" I asked when he pulled back.

"Not a chance,"

"COPS COPS COPS!" someone yelled, quickly we all piled into the car, Dom in the driver seat, I was in the passenger side next to him. Mia and Leon in the Back, Vince had brought his own car and currently had some skank in it much to Mia's displeasure, she still hadnt gotten over Vince, who seemed just as obliviouse to her as Dom had been to me. Dom bareley waited to hear my door slam shut before tearing away from the race.

"who wants ice cream?" I asked the back seat, flashing my winnings from the night, "My treat."

"you know if dad finds out he's going to kill both of you right?" Mia stated. She loved to go to the races but in the end she was still daddy's little girl and couldnt stand the thought of getting in trouble.

"hey dont worry Mi," I said smiling at my friend, "I'll keep the cash hidden an wont have some random guy in my bed from celebrating." I said nudging Dom.

"I'm never going to live that down am I?" he asked with a sigh.

"Never." I said leaning over to kiss his cheek.

"You two are disgusting." Mia said from the back seat.

"Dont worry, we'll find you someone of your own so you wont think we are so disgusting." I said winking at her.

"The hell we will, my sister can stay nice and single untill I die." Dom grouched.

"you can also stay nice and celebate till then also." I said smirking.

"come on baby." He whined, his hand sliding up my leg.

"Behave Dominic." I said grabbing his advancing hand. We had been dating a year now, and still hadnt had sex. We had goten close several times, but then my stupid issues would pop up and I would feel like I was back in that damned garage with Tran and would start hyper ventalating. Every time Dom would stop and hold me, whispering in my ear how everything would be ok and how he wouldnt let anything hurt me. Never once did he get upset with me, though I could see murder in his eyes it wasnt for me and I knew that. What he didnt know is i had actually been talking and working with the school counselor, who was still pushing me for the name of who had done this. Finally I could actually alk my whole way through the atack, and I had been assured that whether I agreed woley with it or not I had been atacked, with out crying. Not only that but I could let my self imagine at night that it wasnt my own hands that were bringing me pleasure but Dom's. I wanted to try again that night,, with the high of a win under my belt.

When we got home we all went to our perspective places with me leading Dom down into he basement. I tucked my winnings into the old backpack of my dads with the rest of my savings before turning and pushing him down on the bed.

"let what are you doing?" he asked as I moved to straddle his lap.

"I won, and now I want my trophie." I smiled dwon at him, before capuring his lips wih my own. That night was our first night together, every touch from Dom was gentler than he had ever been, and after not a single one of my night mares came true, as he settled down next to me, holding me close as we settled into sleep.

That Monday as we were waiting for Mia by the car, since Dom still gave us a ride to and from school, Dom had me pressed against the side of the car, his hands creeping up under my top when Mia showed up trailing a boy behind her.

"Dom, this is Jesse, he needs help with english homework so he's coming home with us." She said as she climbed into the back seat.

"Dominic if you ever want to a repeat of Friday you better be nice," I growled up at my boy friend who was already glaring at the small kid.

Dom's PoV

A few days after Mia had started to bring the straggler home with her I was on my way over to harry's for my dad when I saw the kid pressed up against the side of the building, some of Tran's little biker gang around him. Giving a quick curse I pulled to the curb, the guy might be a little weird but he was already like part of the family, a regular old grease monkey like the rest of us.

"You all are going to want to back up from him right about now." I growled.

"This is of no concern of yours Toretto." Lance said.

"If I say its my concern than its my concern." I said salking toward the group, as I got closer I could see they had already been rouging the poor kid up, his lip had been split and I could see where his eye was sarting to darken.

"Hey Toretto, hows that latina slut doing?" one of the others laughed.

"Jesse, get in the car." I said ighting from letting my vision go black.

"that punk isn't going anywhere." Lance said.

With out thought I grabbed Lance by the throat and slammed him against the brick building. "Let me make myself clear, one, that kid is now under my protection, you touch him you deal with me. Two if any of you fucking chinks even think of Letty again I will feed you your tongue and pop your eyes like ballons, do you understand?" I dropped him to the ground and slid back into my mustang, "welcome to the family kid." I said before continuing to Harry's.
