Chapter Seventeen

�You gonna stick by me?�

�Maybe��

**

I sat outside the garage for maybe twenty minutes, maybe an hour, just staring at the ground. Eventually, I felt someone sit down next to me, but I didn�t look up. I knew who it would be.

�Took you long enough,� I said, wearily.

�Yeah, well�� he trailed off. �I was trying to figure out what to say to get you to believe me.�

�You don�t have to say anything, Dom,� I sighed.

�I don�t?�

�Nah� We don�t owe each other anything, right? I mean�what are a few kisses here and there. Doesn�t make me your g�� I interrupted myself, determined not to let him think I ever saw myself as his. �Doesn�t mean anything.�

�Yes, it does,� he insisted, reaching over to grab my hand. �It means� You mean a lot, Letty. Everything, maybe. Nothing happened with Julie, I swear. Yeah, we used to have a thing back in high school, but it was over years ago, even before I went to jail. She never meant anything to me. She�s nothing that I want anymore.�

�So what do you want, Dom?� I asked, hesitantly.

�I want you,� he softly replied, looking at me. �Just you.�

�I think I can live with that,� I said, smiling.

�So, have you told Leon or Mia about this?� Dom asked, pulling me closer to him, running his hand down the side of my face.

�This?� I questioned.

�Us��

�No, not really,� I replied, looking up at him. �Have you?�

�No, not really.�

�So what exactly is this, anyways, Dom?� I asked, curious.

�I don�t know,� he answered after a few minutes, taking my hand and pulling me into his lap. �Do we have to give it a name? Can�t we just let it be what it is?�

�Yeah,� I murmured as I leaned in to kiss him. �Yeah, we can. But, just to let you know, I�m going to have to beat the shit out of any girl I see coming on to you. I don�t share well.�

�Yeah, well, same goes for me.�

�Oh, yeah,� I said sarcastically. ��Cause, you know, there are just so many guys lusting after me. I�m sure you�ll have to work real hard to keep me safe from all of them.�

Dom just laughed.

Moving around to get comfortable, I finally just turned to face him. �Much better,� I sighed to myself, before leaning in to kiss him again as he wrapped his arms around me.

We sat there for what seemed like an eternity, kissing until I thought I might die if I couldn�t get closer to him. Unbuttoning his coveralls, I ran my hands across his bare chest, down his stomach�

�Letty,� he groaned, pushing me away a little. �This isn�t�this isn�t right.�

�What?� I asked, shocked, pulling back a little to look him in the eyes.

�If we keep this up, pretty soon I�m not going to be able to stop,� he said softly.

�So?�

�So I don�t want to just fuck you here, right outside the garage, lying in the dirt. You deserve better than that.�

�Well what if I want to just be fucked out here, in the dirt?� I demanded, breathless.

�Damn, Letty, you�re going to kill me, you know that?� he muttered, reaching forward to caress my tits, stroking his thumbs over my nipples.

Just then a car pulled up to the garage, its headlights sweeping across the wall above us. I hadn�t even noticed it getting dark.

Recognizing the car, I pushed Dom�s hands away from me. �Shit, that�s my aunt. I almost forgot she was coming to get me today,� I said hurriedly, running a hand through my hair in an attempt to calm myself down and stop the fire that was raging through my body.

�You�re leaving?� Dom asked.

�Yeah,� I replied. �She wanted to spend some time, just the two of us, since it�s my birthday this week and all.�

�Oh?� he asked, looking at me slyly. �Your birthday really this week?�

�Yep, Tuesday,� I said, turning my head to look at him out of the corner of my eye. �You knew that, didn�t you?�

�No, I had no idea, I swear,� he said, laughing. �So�what do you want?�

�Want?� I asked, confused.

�You know�for your birthday.�

�Oh.� I thought about it for a little while before answering, turning to make sure my aunt couldn�t see us before reaching back inside his coveralls. My fingers lightly circled his nipple before slowly dragging down his chest, coming to a stop just underneath the waistband of his boxers. Leaning my head to his neck, I slowly licked my way from his collarbone to his ear. �You,� I whispered as I slowly brought my hand down further, lightly running my nails along the length of his dick. �I just want you.�

Finally I pulled back, sliding off of his lap, lightly slapping his hand away as he reached after me.

�Be good, Dom,� I called over my shoulder as I walked away. �I�ll be back Tuesday.�

�Tuesday?� I could hear him groan as I got into the car.
