Dom’s POV
The police weren’t happy about not being able to question Letty or Mia about my car but I didn’t care. They didn’t seem to care she had been kidnapped so I didn’t care that I was hindering their investigation.
“Is there anything else you can tell us?” The detective asked as they started to wrap things up. it had been two long hours of Letty answering their questions. The tension in her form was enough to tell me she was nearly at breaking point. I had sat by her side the entire two hours, saying nothing as I held her hand as she recounted every detail she could remember. My patience by now was past the point of no return and I wanted the detectives out of my house and out looking for the fucker.
“No nothing that I haven’t already mentioned.” She spoke tiredly. It showed on her face how exhausted she was. When this was over I was taking her upstairs to sleep. I needed to hold her.
“Okay, well thank you for your time Miss Ortiz. We’ll contact you when we receive any information but for now it would be a good idea to stay inside and never venture out on your own. He may be watching your movements.”
“Thank you.” I snapped in warning. This idiot had almost over stepped or agreed line. He gave Letty a small nod, turning to me with a small glare but he said nothing as he and his partner showed themselves out.
“Thank god that’s over and done with.” She whispered and I nodded as I held my hand out to her. She looked at me confused but said nothing as she placed her hand in mine. Gently I pulled her up, guiding her upstairs and into our room as I shut the door behind us.
“Everything okay?” She asked quietly as I pulled her down onto the bed. We shifted slightly until we were both comfortable then we relaxed into each other.
“Fine.”
“You can’t lie to me Dom.” She whispered and I sighed, placing a kiss on her head as I brushed a few stray hairs back.
“Really it’s nothing. I’m just… worried. I need to hold you.”
“I’m safe now Dom.” Her words made me think about my car and the warning that it carried.
“You and Mia are not to go anywhere alone without one of us you hear me?” I warned. Her eyes searched mine as silence washed over us. She knew then that I was serious and that I wasn’t about to back down.
“Dom-”
“Promise me. On us, promise me.” I needed reassurance. I needed her to know how serious this was. This was no time for her stubbornness or her tough girl persona, I needed her to know that this time I was in charge and I wasn’t making the rules.
“Okay. I promise on us that we will not go out without any of you.” She voiced reluctantly and I let out the shaky breath that I had been holding. I pulled her closer to me, my lips covering hers in an instant as I poured everything I felt into that one kiss. It lasted less than a minute and after I had pulled away she was left staring at me dazed. I smiled softly as I caressed her face.
“I love you Letty. I won’t let anything happen to you again.” I vowed.
“How can you promise that?” She whispered with a small sad smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
“I’m never gunna let you leave my sight, not even for a minute. I can’t lose you.” I mumbled as I crashed my lips back onto hers. She didn’t protest, instead she kissed me back just as fiercely as my hands tangled themselves in her hair.
Mia’s POV
“Okay I get it.” I sighed irritably as Vince continued on and on about me or Letty going out without one of the boys with us. He had been harping on about it ever since they had gotten back with the detectives in tow. Jesse and Leon were pretty silent, but they let me know they agreed with everything Vince was saying.
“No Mia it’s not okay,” He started as he grabbed my wrist and spun me around to face him before I could storm off.
“Promise me, promise us you two won’t go anywhere without one of us.” I looked straight into Vince’s eyes and saw something more, it was an emotion I couldn’t name. Fear was the closest thing it represented but it was more than that. I looked from Vince to Leon to Jesse and knew there was more to this then they were letting on. Looking back to Vince I looked at him evenly and made my promise. Whatever had happened had them spooked, bad enough for them to have to hide it from us.
“I promise you we won’t venture out alone. No matter the circumstances.” My words seemed to be enough to assure him I wouldn’t break the rules. His hand dropped from my wrists as he nodded and thanked me before he collapsed on the couch exhausted. Jesse was on the other side of him and Leon was leaning against the wall. All three of them looked as if they hadn’t slept in weeks. I felt a pang of worry hit me as I took in their forms. Silently as I left the room I made a promise to myself to obey them this time around. No pushing boundaries or stretching the rules, I would do as they asked for once. It seemed they had enough to worry about.
