Chapter 5
Leon finished cleaning up the garage and basically ran upstairs to his old room after he'd looked at the clock for the tenth million time. He didn't even spare the kitchen, where Brian was helping Mia finish lunch, a second's glance as he bounded up the steps. Dom and Letty looked after him and then turned very confused looks to each other. Dom shrugged his shoulders at her as if to say that he didn't know what the hell was wrong with Leon.
The truth was, he had an idea......but he wasn't gonna tell Letty what it was so instead he walked up behind her, pressing his front to her back while wrapping his strong arms around her waist. Letty twisted around in the embrace and getting on her tiptoes, brought her mouth up to meet his all the while turning their bodies until Dominic's back was against the side of the Supra. He raised an eyebrow at her bluntness which quickly turned into a sloppy grin when Letty started unbuckling his belt. "Let's take this upstairs." Dom said in a throaty growl when Letty wrapped her hand tightly around his manhood and started a pumping motion up and down his length.

Leon had quickly closed and locked his door as soon as he'd set foot in his old room and pulled out his cell phone. He searched the pockets of the pants he'd been wearing yesterday and found Evelyn's number and dialed it. He waited impatiently as the phone rang four, five, six times then hung up. What the hell was her problem? She didn't want anything to do with him now so she decided to play with him for a while and then drop him? Leon sighed, trying to control the rage boiling through him and dialed the number again.....maybe she was busy.....
************************
Evelyn's swollen eyes opened slowly at the sound of the oak door being unlocked. Frank appeared in the doorway and then flipped on the light. Evelyn hissed as the sudden brightness blinded her sensitive eyes as they slowly adjusted. Frank grabbed her arm roughly and stood her up, half walking half dragging her out and shoving her into the bathroom of their expensive suite.
"Clean up Evelyn darling, you smell awful." He said bitterly a hint of amusement in his voice. Evelyn slowly rose from her place on the floor and instantly regretted her quick movements...she was seriously sore from sleeping in the fetal position on the floor. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and flinched at what she saw. She had one hell of a shiner on her right eye....the flesh contorted from what some would call a "peaches and cream complexion" to the color of rotting fruit. Her lower lip was split, her eyes bloodshot and swollen.....God, how was she going to cover this up?
"What time is it?" She croaked.
"Twelve. I need you to be in top shape--or at least look top shape when I leave tonight." Evie turned her bloodshot gaze to her husband, a questioning look in her eyes.
"I'll be leaving for New York tonight, something went wrong with the shipment and I need to check it out. Tony and Mario will go with me, I doubt you'll be in any danger while I'm gone right?" Frank asked. Evelyn tried to suppress her racing heart as she thought about the possibilities......Frank was leaving for three days, what more could she ask for? She nodded her head mutely to answer his question.
"Good, now go bathe. I'll be in the living room talking with Gutierrez...don't interrupt us." Frank said, his tone light at the sight of his wife's seemingly broken will. Finally he had her where he wanted. Evelyn nodded her head again as she watched him step out of the bathroom. Slowly she peeled the sweat and blood soaked clothes she'd been wearing since yesterday and stepped into the gentle spray of the shower head, thoughts all jumbled together. Frank was going to New York for three days.....he was leaving tonight.....Leon. Oh God...Leon!
Evie washed as quickly as she could and wrapped her terry bathrobe around herself. Stepping into her bedroom and walking towards the door, she peeked her head down the hall that led to the living room. The double doors were closed, good. She quietly closed the door to the bedroom again and locked it....searching franticly for her cell phone. She picked it up and turned it on. The electronic voice came on telling her she had no unread messages but she had missed 4 calls all ranging from 7:02 p.m. through 8:15 p.m.
"Shit. Shit. Shit!" Evelyn repeated in a scolding mantra to herself. She took three deep breaths to calm herself down.....she could still fix this.....she could still reach Leon. She only hoped that he still wanted to be reached.
*********************
Six hours later Evelyn sat in the back seat of one of her husband's rented cars, stuffed between Frank and Mario. They were driving to the airport. She silently walked behind her husband to the metal steps of Frank's personal jet and let him kiss her goodbye. Evelyn thought she was gonna puke...but it would be worth it in the end. She waived at him from a distance as the plane shot down the run way and into the sky. Finally, Evelyn let out the breath she had been holding.
For three days she was free, no bodyguards, no Frank, just Evelyn, herself, and hopefully Leon. It was 5:30 p.m. when she arrived back at the hotel. She basically ran upstairs to her suite and started rummaging through her closet for something to wear, deciding to change into jeans and a black tank top, pulling her hair up into a twist held by a black clip and strappy black sandals. She tried to cover up the bruises as best she could and then realized she couldn't, so she just put some skin colored concealer and mauve lipstick. Putting on sleek black shades to hide the black eye. She was ready now. Evelyn picked up her cell phone and read the number listed on the Caller ID for the calls she'd missed, Leon's calls, and dialed the number. It rang three times and then that raspy drawl came over the line.
"Hello?" Leon said above the thumping beat of the rap music blaring from the stereo. Evelyn let the smoothness of Leon's voice wash over her as a fresh batch of tears stung her eyes.
"Leon?" She said barely able to choke back the sob that threatened to leak into her voice. Leon sat up abruptly in the chair he was occupying, causing the girl on his lap to fall flat on her ass on the floor and glare up at him where she landed before getting up and stalking across the room. He turned his attention back to the phone......was he still pissed at her? No, but he couldn't let HER know that.
"What do you want Evelyn?" Leon asked, irritation noticeable in his tone, not sure what he should do. He contemplated hanging up on her before she told him what she wanted, but then thought against it. God I'm such a dork....
"Come get me.....please?" She asked her voice barely above a whisper. She needed to explain to him, needed to tell him so many things. Leon stood there. In the middle of the living room, his heart breaking at the sound of despair in her voice. He couldn't say no, not now, not ever.
"I'll be right there."
********************
And he was right there. Evelyn hadn't even been waiting ten minutes outside the front door to the hotel before a yellow Nissan Skyline pulled up to where she was standing, a grinning Leon sticking his head out the window. He opened the driver's side door and stepped out, his smile instantly fading as he took in her disheveled appearance as he stepped close enough to touch her cheek.
"What's wrong Evie?" He asked concern evident in his facial expression. Evelyn formed a strained smile as she noticed he used her old nickname.
"I'll tell you Leon, but can--can we please get out of here?" She asked looking around suspiciously.
"Sure, C'mon." Leon said placing his open palm on the small of her back to steer her to the passenger's side. He opened the door for her and made sure to check that she'd buckled herself in before getting himself in the car and driving towards his house. What was she so afraid of? He couldn't help ask himself as he drove home.

Chapter 6
They stopped in front of a small white two-story house. Leon turned off the ignition and looked at her profile.... something was off, but he didn't know how to even begin to ask so he just got out of the car and opened the door for her. He noticed she was leaning on him slightly as he guided her through the front door. They hadn't spoken a word during the drive over and the anticipation was killing him. Evelyn walked into the living room that consisted of only a television set, a couch, and a lamp. She turned to look at him with an eyebrow raised and he smirked, shrugging his shoulders, eyes twinkling.
"What can I say, I only moved in a couple of weeks ago. Haven't really had time to decorate." And Evelyn laughed. It felt good. He looked good. Dressed in light blue jeans and a white t-shirt that clung to his chest and arms. Leon sobered up and searched her face for something that could tell him what this was about.
"Why'd you call me Evie? You in trouble?" He asked, finally voicing his thoughts aloud. Evelyn looked up at him and hesitantly nodded her head looking down at the ground. Leon noticed she was trembling, but it was 98-degrees out...she was crying.
"Hey." He said, closing the distance between them and wrapping his strong arms around her. Evelyn stiffened and then relaxed in the embrace letting the tears fall. Leon pulled back a little to look in her eyes which were still covered by the black shades.
"Why don't you take these off?” He said, taking them off her face before Evelyn could warn him about what lied beneath. Leon looked at what had been done to her beautiful face and stopped breathing, fury mixing with rage so strong his hands started to tremble. He cupped her face with both his hands and looked in her eyes.
"Who did this to you Evie?" He asked, all the crap he was going to rant and rave about completely erased from his mind as he took in the purples, pinks, and crimson reds that marred her once fair skin.
"Frank." Evelyn managed to choke out.
"Son of a bitch! I shoulda never let you marry that prick. I'ma kick that bastard's ass next time I see him." He said pacing around the room.
"It's ok Leon I'm used to it I-" Evelyn tried to calm him down but he cut her off.
"You're what? USED to it? Like he's done this shit before?" Once again Evelyn nodded her head mutely. Leon took her in his arms again. He wanted to kick Frank's ass, he wanted to take all her pain away, he wanted to prevent her from ever feeling pain like this again, he wanted her to be his.... but that didn't matter right now. What mattered was the scared, trembling, woman in his arms right now.
"I'm sorry." Evelyn said talking into his chest.
"For what?" Leon asked incredulous. She'd had the crap beaten outta her by her husband, he'd been ready to bite her head off about those calls he made yesterday and SHE was sorry?
"For bringing all my problems on you.....I just didn't have anywhere else to go."
"It's alright. Hey, you hungry?" He asked cupping her face again and she smiled.
"Starving."
They ate Chinese take-out on the beach, watching the surf as it beat up again the yeti and the sand. Evelyn stopped eating to stare at the setting sun. The sky was a live oil painting, saturated in bright oranges, yellows, and bronzy browns.
"That's so beautiful." She said aloud looking over her shoulder at Leon. He had discarded his previous attire for basketball shorts and a sleeveless tank. The white of the shirt a drastic contrast between the bronze of his skin and the silver of his thick chain. He looked absolutely delicious.
"Don't you think?"
"Yeah I think, but I rather be lookin' at you." He said a sly smile plastered on his lips as he reached out his hand to move stray strands of black hair out of her eyes. Evelyn turned her burning face to the ground, a sly smile on her face. She grabbed a handful of sand and chucked it at his chest.
"Sap." She yelled teasingly running down the beach. Leon got up quickly running after her. He caught up to her in no time and playfully tackled her from behind landing them both face first into the water. They laughed as she tried to wiggle her way out of his grasp only to be chucked back into the water. After a couple of minutes of running around like idiots, they noticed that it was getting a little late. Leon helped Evelyn up and they picked up their belongings to go inside.
**********************
It was 8:15 p.m. when they got back inside the house, both soaking wet, clothes plastered to their bodies. Leon tried to not stare at Evelyn's perky breasts and slim hips as she tried to rinse the excess water from her clothes. She caught him looking though, and playfully slapped him on the arm. He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, their wet clothes making a slapping sound as they met. Leon put his hands on her hips, forcing them to come even closer to each other so that she could feel his need through his pants and almost shyly looked into her eyes.
"I want you so bad Evelyn, you want me?" He asked holding his breath for her response. Evelyn's thoughts were completely obliterated as she registered what he'd just said and nodded her head. Leon brought their lips together in a mind blowing kiss, pulling back only when they needed air again.
"Let's go to bed baby." Leon said as he picked her up and carried her upstairs to his bedroom.
**********************
Once in his bedroom Leon kicked the door shut standing her up in front of the bed, they undressed each other, never breaking eye contact. He placed his hands on her hips and slowly guided her backwards until she was laying in the middle of his bed. Leon brought his lips down on hers almost brutally in his haste to taste her. Evelyn gasped with the shock, but as the wave of her need for him to be inside hit her, she pushed back into him just as hungrily if not more. Her hands gripped the sides of his head. Her fingers threaded through his soft dark brown hair as her legs lifted and locked around his waist. Their groins were separated by the wispy barrier of her panties even though it did nothing to hide the heat radiating from both of them. Evelyn ground herself onto him, and then gasped as she felt him harden even more against her.
"Tell me what you want Evelyn," He said under his breath, right by her ear. "What do you want me to do?"
"I want.... you inside me" She gasped out in an exasperated whisper as she nestled her face into the curve of his neck and bit while she simultaneously ground her sex onto his again. Grabbing a firmer hold of her hips with one hand and reaching down with the other, he ripped her panties off while she undid her bra and pulled it off. He dove onto her like a starved man, and took one of her rock hard nipples into his mouth. Evelyn gasped at the sensation of his mouth on her breast, her whole body on fire wherever he touched her. She thrashed her head from side to side as he rolled the nipple with his tongue while he gripped it with his teeth.
As he moved to the other nipple, Leon lowered one of his hands to in between her thighs, running the flat of his hand over her hot, dribbling, folds. Right as he pulled the nipple into his mouth, he slipped one long finger into her moist sheath, immediately finding the throbbing nub of her clitoris. Evelyn screamed aloud at the crashing wave of pure pleasure, and she rolled her hips against his hand as she gripped his head to pull it closer onto her breast. Her first orgasm came as he inserted two fingers into her, while he continued rubbing the clit with his thumb. Her body convulsed and she came halfway off the bed as she threw her head back and screamed his name. Leon lost it at the site of her climax, bringing her back down to the bed as he pushed between her legs and entered her with one swift thrust.
"Oh my fucking God.... Evie...." Leon's eyes closed in pleasure, as he paused for a minute to control his body‘s reaction.... he wanted to make this last as long as possible. Then the need for his release hit him and his hips began to move inside her once again. Her hands were everywhere, and she raised her legs to wrap them high around his waist. Evelyn rolled her hips with his and they soon found a rhythm that had her coming again and again in long, hot throbs. Leon's orgasm seized him just as Evelyn's was coming down, he threw his head back and shuddered as his seed pounded and coated her insides. Her legs fell numbly from his hips as he collapsed and rolled over pulling her head on his chest. They fell asleep in the warm after glow, holding each other tight.
