The pair had slow meaningful sex. Dom paid so much attention on her that she was putty in his hands and underneath him. He hoped she'd understand that he meant what he said. If she knew anything at all about him she would get it eventually, but he knew that trust was something that was earned. Only time would help her heal from her past. Dom actually did get why she was still kind of nervous. It had to be hard to accept that something so good could happen after something as traumatic as losing your spouse. Hell, even he was still trying to understand how he happened to be at the bar that exact night that she'd be out for the anniversary of her husband's death. After having their fill of sex for the night they curled up and fell asleep.

Sometimes Dom dreamt of Letty. Different scenarios would run through his mind giving him nightmares. Even as relaxed as he was, that night his subconscious decided to throw him a curve ball with an epic nightmare. The scene made him restless, tossing and turning. He saw Letty in her car, going over a cliff after being chased off the road. Her face changed as the car rolled and morphed into Andie's face. He drove his Charger after trying to get to her but it was too late. He woke with a scream and a tremor that shook the whole bed. Andie woke like a jack in the box. Springing into an upright position.

"Dom?" She reached over to him." What's wrong?" She touched his cheek in the dark."Wake up!"

Dom felt her soft hand on his cheek and placed his hand on top of hers. "I'm sorry."

"What was it?"

"Nightmare." He sat up too. Sweat beaded up on his bare scalp.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Sorry to wake you. That happens sometimes." He kissed her palm."I'm sorry I woke you."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Not really."

"Okay. I respect that. Here, come snuggle with me." She stretched out on her side.

"All right." Dom felt around in the dark for her and slid up next to her. Sliding one leg between hers and wrapping his arm around her back. He set his forehead against hers for a moment then kissed her forehead. "Thank you for being here."

"I'm happy to be." She traced the edge of his jaw with her thumb. "I'm so happy to be here even though it scares me a little."

"I might be a little scared too. I'm willing to push through it though. You're worth my time."

"You're worth mine too." Andie kissed him again. " Now let's try the whole sleep thing again."

"Deal."

Finally calmed the fuck down, they both were able to catch a few more Z's. In the morning Dom's alarm for work went off.

"Ahhh, Damn it." He groaned.

They were a tangle of arms and legs. He was able to turn off his alarm. Head falling back on the pillow he opened his eyes to see her there. Mahogany hair all over the place, sleepy hazel eyes with long lashes, lips that were a little extra plump from all the making out they'd done overnight.

"You look beautiful all blissed out here in my bed."

"Thank you." She flashed a sweet smile at him."You definitely laid me well. I feel great!"

Dom chuckled,"Good." He kissed her forehead. "I have to get ready for work. You can stay here for as long as you want."

"Hmmm, I could join you in the shower again..." She suggested.

"That can work too..."

They both got out of bed and went to the bathroom. A steamy shower always woke Dom up, but it got even better when Andie grabbed the soap and was washing him all over. Her sudsy hand soaped Dom's chest and the rest of his torso, then she went down further. Dom gasped a little as her hand wrapped around him. She gave him a nice slippery hand job.

"Ahhh, yesss!"he growled when he came.

He kissed her, holding her head in his hands as if he were drinking from her lips. Her grin lit up her face.

Dom smirked."That's a great way to start the day. Thank you. I wish I had more time...I'd take care of you too." His eyes glowed.

"You can make it up to me later." She nipped his bottom lip playfully.

"You got it."

They got out and toweled off. Andie wrapped hers around herself , Dom however walked  naked to his room. Andie watched his muscles move with every step. It took her breath away.

"You're beefier than you used to be." She said.

"Yeah, I work out on more than just cars now. I go to the gym several times a week. Though I won't need to be doing as much cardio there it seems." He winked at her.

"Indeed."

"You got taller. I remember you a bit shorter."

"Yeah I had a late growth spurt."

"Nice. Well, I like where you are. You fit well against me."

"I agree."

Dom was dressed and ready to go except for his work shoes." I gotta get going. If I'm late Brian is gunna rip on me about you. I know it. Not that I really mind..."

"Have a good day! Call me later."

"I will. Bye." He wrapped her up in his arms and kissed her long and hard. The smile he left with was from ear to ear.

"Later Dom!" She said. Slipping her jeans back on and grabbing one of his shirts. She was enjoying stealing his shirts.

"I'm not gunna have any shorts left if you keep this up!" He joked as he walked out of the room toward the hallway.

"Last one I promise!"

"I call bullshit!" He said over his shoulder."It's ok! I'll just go get more!" He hollered while he welled down the hall. He laughed the whole way.
