Letty’s POV
I groaned in appreciation as the hot water ran down my back. My muscles were stiff and sore, tense from all the stress over the last day. A low chuckle sounded in my ear and I smiled softly. I had managed to convince Dom to take a shower with me, conning him into giving me a back rub.
“Feeling better?” He whispered as he washed my back gently.
“Mmhmm.” I hummed as I felt his hands run down the backs of my thighs slowly. He was testing the waters, carefully trying out the boundaries to see if I would stop him or let him continue.
“I’m going to keep you safe Letty, I promise.” He whispered as I turned to face him. The desire in his eyes was crystal clear as was the hint of possession. I had no doubt my eyes were reflecting the same as I stepped forward, reaching up to pull his head down to my level.
“I know.” I whispered before I attacked his lips.
His lips were urgent against mine as our tongues clashed. His hands were everywhere at once and I had hard time following his movements. Before I knew it my back was against the shower screen and my legs were wrapped around his waist as we made out heavily.
“Dom, take me to bed.” I whispered after I pulled away gasping for air.
“My pleasure.” He growled as he shut the water off.
“Feeling better?” He asked quietly as we panted quietly. My head was laying on his chest, our legs intertwined as we came down off our highs.
“Uhuh.” I mumbled sleepily. Nuzzling my face deeper into Dom’s chest as I closed my eyes.
“I love you Letty.” I lifted my head to look him in the eye after he finished speaking and I let a small relaxed smile slide onto my face.
“I love you too Dom.”
Dom’s POV
It was early morning and I still hadn’t allowed myself to fall asleep. I had stayed up all night just watching Letty as she slept. Her deep breathing calmed my anger and anguish that I had felt since the minute she’d been kidnapped. My arms tightened around her and I vowed then and there as I watched her that I was never letting her out of my sight again.
A gentle knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. I glanced at the time and noted it was just after six in the morning. Whoever was on the other side of the door better have a damn good reason for dragging me away from Letty. Carefully I crept out of bed, dragging on a pair of jeans as I walked to the bedroom door.
Vince’s expression was the first thing that alerted me to the fact something was wrong. Without saying a word I looked back to check on Letty before I shut the door behind me. Once out in the hall way I gave Vince a look to make him start explaining.
“The police just called they want to speak to Letty, they won’t take no for an answer. Said they should have spoken to her last night.”
“They can wait she’s asleep and I ain’t waking her up if I don’t have to.” I snapped and he nodded in agreement but he was fidgeting, a tell-tale sign he was nervous about something.
“What?” I demanded and he sighed.
“We found your car.”
“What conditions it in?” I grimaced as I asked.
“I think you better come and check it out for yourself. Jesse’s gunna stay with Letty and Mia. Neither of them need to see this shit.” Cold fear crept into my chest as I took in the weight of his words.
“I’ll go get dressed.” I spoke before turning back to enter the room.
Letty was still sound asleep and I was grateful. Chucking on a t-shirt and a pair of shoes I grabbed my phone and wallet before backing out of the room quietly. Vince and Leon were waiting at the top of the stairs for me, both equally looking at each other in worry. Whatever had happened to my car they were obviously dreading my reaction. At this point though I could care less about the car, Letty was more important and she was safe so I didn’t care about anything else.
“Ready?” Leon asked nervously and I nodded, following them out to Vince’s car.
I looked up confused as the car came to a stop and the engine shut off not long after we started driving. I looked around confused but my confusion soon turned to rage as I noted my burnt out car sitting on the garages driveway. Spray paint had been used to write all over it. Each message ringing loud and clear in my head but the one on the garage door stood out the most.
We’re watching… no one can stop us this time
Cold hard fear ran through me as I stared at the writing in disbelief. Vince and Leon flanked both my sides, looking left to right seeing if they could spot anyone.
“Police are on their way.” Leon spoke but I didn’t answer. Those words were going to haunt me. It wasn’t just a treat it was a warning and confirmation that he wasn’t working alone. There were two of them out there wanting to get at Letty.
“I’m gunna get Jesse to bring the girls over since the police are gunna want to question Letty as well.”
“No.” I snapped.
“Dom-“ Vince tried but I shook my head.
“No they’re never to know about this. The police can question them at the house but no one is to tell them about this.” I demanded. Leon and Vince traded looks but nodded in understanding.
“When I catch him I’m gunna kill him.” I swore as I stormed back to Vince’s car. I needed to calm down.
