Love Through Pain (20 page)

Chapter Twenty-Nine

On the road for four hours,
and they still had another ten hours of driving until they reached Javier’s parents’ home.

Jazmine was driving him crazy, singing along to Nicky’s Mickey Mouse CD. “The wheels on the bus go round and…”

“Babe, can you please stop.” Javier glanced over at her for a second.

“I’m trying to get Nicky to sleep.” She turned in her seat to look at their son.

“He’s been asleep for the last half an hour.” He laughed. “You just like those songs.”

Nicky’s seat was facing backward. Jazmine caressed his rosy cheeks. “It worke
d. Oh, before I forget, Dr. Hill would like you to come to my next therapy session.”

“I’ll be there.”

“I mentioned your PTSD.”

“Why? I don’t have those dreams anymore.” Javier slowed down.

“I know baby, but PTSD just doesn’t go away.” She faced him. “If we are going to get better, we need to get better together. I know my trauma brought back memories for you.” Jazmine switched off the radio. “I hope you’re not mad at me.”

“Why would I be mad at you?”
he asked, concerned.

“Because I violated your privacy.”

“Jazz, you’re trying to help me, and that makes me love you even more. If counseling makes us stronger, I’ll be there.”

She touched his jaw. “What would I do without you?”

He took her hand in his, brought it to his lips, and kissed it. “You’ll never have to find out.”

He started to suck each one of her fingertips.

Jazmine smirked and snatched her hand away. “Stop it.”

Javier’s cell phone beeped. “Answer it.”

She picked it up. “You sure you want me to? It might be an ex-girlfriend,” she chuckled.

“That’s not funny.”

Jazmine placed her finger on the screen and slid it on. “Hello.” 

“Hi Jazmine,” Maria sang, her voice coming through the speaker
s.

“Hi Maria
.” Jazmine had a big smile on her face.

“What time will you guys get here?”

“We still have ten more hours,” Jazmine answered.

“You didn’t leave on time did you?”

“No Ma’am, your son made us late.” She smirked, looking at Javier, touching his leg. They were running late because she’d needed some special attention.

Javier glanced at her for a second
, and then back at the road. “Ma, that’s not true, Jazmine needed…” Jazmine placed her hand over his mouth.

“What did you say
, Javy?”

“Nothing Maria, he’s being silly,” she smacked his arm.

Javier’s chuckle was deep. “Bendición, Ma.”

“Que Dios te bendiga Cielo.”

“We’ll be there around two in the morning,” Javier told his mom.

“Jazmine, someone wants to talk to you.”

“Who?” There was a curious thread to Jazmine’s voice.

“My husband.”

Jazmine’s eyes widened, and Javier shook his head. “It’s fine.”

“Jazmine,” a deep voice came through.

“Yes, Sir,” she answered, a little tense.

Javier’s father cleared his throat. “Hey
, I just wanted to apologize for the way I reacted when my son told me you were African-American.  Color never mattered in this house, and it took a strong woman to knock some sense into my old head. You’ve made my son happy, and that grandson of mine has taken my heart.” He chuckled. “I call him, mi Moreno. I know I hurt Javier, and that wasn’t my intention. I love my son, and all I’ve ever wanted for him is to be happy.”

“Dad, I’m finally happy
,” Javier said, a little rattled; his dad hardly ever apologized for anything—even when he was wrong.

“I know son,” his dad
’s voice cracked. “I hope you can forgive me. I acted like ass.”

“Dad, you could’ve waited until we got there.” Javier tapped his fingers on the steering wheel.

“I wanted to clear the air before you arrived.”

“Dad, you don’t know how much this means to me.” Javier
’s voice was soft.

“Jazmine
, I hope you can forgive me, too.”

“Sir, there’s nothing to forgive. You raised an amazing man.” Jazmine leaned over and kissed Javier’s cheek.

“I’m proud of him. I’ll let you two go, drive safe.”

“Bye
, dad.”

“Bye
,” his dad said before hanging up.

“I’m so excited to meet you
r family,” Jazmine winked at him with a huge grin. “I was worried about your dad.”

“I told you not to be nervous. I knew my mom would put my dad in check. When I went to pick up Nicky, my dad wouldn’t put him down.”

“What does, mi Moreno, mean?”

“My chocolate boy.”

She arched her eyebrow.

“No, not like that. He means it in a sweet way, something like my chocolate teddy bear.”

“Okay, so Nicky is my Moreno.”

Javier chuckled. “Yes. So basically you’ve met all
of my family; well, except for my brother.”

“Jose right?”

“Yes. Have I ever shown you a picture of him? If not, he sent me a current one on my phone.” He picked up his cell.

“That’s okay
, Javy, I’ll see him tomorrow.”

He placed his cell down. Javier positioned his right hand on Jazmine’s left leg and began making tiny circles.

Jazmine giggled. “What are you doing?”

“I can’t help it
—I told you I’m addicted to you.” He trailed his digits up her thigh.

“The baby’s here,” she gasped.

“He’s asleep, and if he wasn’t, he couldn’t see us.” He reached her panty-line and dipped his index finger under the cotton fabric to graze her clit.

Jazmine moaned
, closing her eyes. “Don’t start, what we can’t finish.”

“Oh
, baby, I can finish.” Javier twisted his wrist to pinch her pearl between his index finger and thumb. Jazmine arched her back, and her head hit the headrest. “And then you’ll finish me, later.” His voice came out husky whisper. His finger pushed past her nether lips.  He spun the wheel to pull over into the emergency lane.

Javier slowly plunged in and out of her pussy while the heel of his palm
stroked her clit. He gently caressed her nub. She cried out softly and flexed her hips to the rhythm of his thrusts.

“Oh God, Javy…” she groaned between her teeth,
and he knew she was trying to keep it down, not wanting to wake Nicky.

“Call me
, Papi.” Javier pushed in deeper.

“Yes, Papi
… don’t stop…” she gasped.

He found her g-spot, crooking his digit to hit
the spongy area. Her legs started to shake.

Javier could feel her muscles contracting around his finger. “Come for me…”

She didn’t even notice Javier had pulled over to the side of the road. He stared at her. Jazmine’s eyes were squeezed shut, nose flaring, and her mouth agape. Her chest was rapidly going up and down. Her muscles gripped his finger, and then started pulsating.

“Shit
… shit … shit…” she moaned, grabbing onto the door handle with one hand, while clutching his wrist with the other. “Yes… Javy…” She bit her lower lip. “Yes…”

Javier smiled
, looking at her pleasure filled face, his fingers were locked between her legs.

Jazmine slowly opened her eyes and gazed at him. “You
… stopped … driving.”

“I needed to look at you when you came
.” He moved his digit from her sweet spot, and then sucked it clean. “Hmm, you get sweeter every time.”

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him. “Javy, please stop. Our son is in the back seat, and I can’t do what I want.”

Javier opened the middle consul and grabbed a wipe to clean his hand, and then handed Jazmine one.

She took it, wiped herself
, and handed back to him. “Thanks.”

“You’ll be able to do whatever you want to me soon
.” He put the wipes in a trash bag. He changed gears and got back onto the highway.

“Now, I’m so freaking horny because of you.” She rolled her eyes at him and pulled down her skirt. “I don’t like you right now.”

“Well, I love you…”

Chapter Thirty

It was three in the morning when they arrived at his parents’ home.

“Babe, we’re here.” Javier squeezed her leg.

Jazmine
’s eyes fluttered open, and she glanced at the clock on the dashboard. “Three in the morning.”

“You kept making me stop to use the bathroom and for vanilla milkshakes.” Javier took off his seatbelt, opened the door
, and stepped out. He walked around to her door and pulled it open. He leaned in, unbuckled her seat belt, and started tickling Jazmine.

She laughed, trying to grab his hands. “Stop
… stop! I have to pee.”

Jazmine managed to push him out her way, and
then jumped out of the SUV. Javier came up behind her, and she started running. He followed after her.

“Seriously, stop… I have to pee. You’re going to make me pee on myself
.” Jazmine ran around the vehicle. “Stop playing.” She stopped at the back gate.

Javier chuckled. “Okay.” He strolled over to her and circled his arm
s around her waist. “You bring out the kid in me.” He kissed her full lips. He backed away and saw Nicky through the rear window giggling in the back seat. “Cookie Monster is up.” Jazmine turned her head, looking at their son, and then waved at him.

“Da
… dy … dy…” He shook his head from side to side. “Ma … ma…” Nicky chattered as Javier opened the back door, and he took his son out of his seat. Nicky stared at his mom. “Bus…”

She giggled, and he started bouncing in Javier’s arms. Jazmine began singing. “The wheel
s on the bus go…” Javier joined in, and the lights on the porch turned on, illuminating the area.

The front door swung open, and his mother came out
of the house wrapped in her robe. “You made it.”

“Bendici
ón, Ma.” Javier kissed his mom on the cheek.

His mom kissed him back
, and then hugged Jazmine.

“Bendici
ón, Maria.” Jazmine squeezed her back, and his mom cupped her cheek. “Que Dios te bendiga.”

“Mi gordo
.” Maria took Nicky out of Javier’s arms, kissing him.

Nicky grabbed her face and kissed his grandma. “Mi
… mi…”

They walked into his parents’ home, and his mom
slipped up the stairs. “You’re not visitors.” She got to the top, and looked down. “He’s sleeping with us tonight. See you in the morning.” They heard his parents’ door close.

“Did she just kidnap our son?” Javier
chuckled.

“Yep, she did. I’m sleepy
, baby. I’m going up.” She strolled to the bottom of the stairs.

“Okay, I’ll get our stuff.” Javier walked back out the door.

~~~

Jazmine entered Javier’s old room, and she couldn’t help remembering
, the pain she felt, the bruise on her skin. She took a deep breath and touched the scar on her face. The memories came back from the night she met her husband. If it wasn’t for that awful night, she would’ve never met the love of her life. “He rescued me,” she murmured to herself.

“Cielo, you saved me
.” Javier came in and dropped their luggage on the floor. He closed the door, sauntered over to her, and took her hands.

“Javy, we’ve come so far in over a year.” She kissed his hands. “You’ve bec
ome my rock, someone I can always count on, and I didn’t even know you.”

“From the moment I saw you
, I felt a special connection.” He rubbed her fingers. “I wasn’t looking for love, but I found it in the last place I ever thought—you.”

Jazmine could feel the tears threating to fall. “What does Cielo mean?”

His lips lifted up at the corners, and her heartbeat picked up.

“Heaven
.” He pulled her forward. “You’re my heaven on earth.”

Jazmine drew his face down, and
then gave him a lingering kiss. “You are my king.”

“Stop saying all these nice things, because I won’t want to go to sleep
.” He kissed her neck. “You owe me something,” he said against her collarbone.

She gently shoved him. “Are you crazy? Not in your parents’ house.”

“We’re married.” He stepped forward, but she moved out his way. “We can be quiet.” He cornered her by the wall and caged her with his arms. His lips met hers, and she gasped; he always got what he wanted. Her tongue met his in a tug of war. He pulled back. “I guess we should stop.” He turned to walk away, and Jazmine grabbed the hem of his shirt.

“Oh
, no you don’t.” She pulled him back. “Take it off.”

Javier grinned
, pulling his shirt over his head. “But you said.”

“Forget what I said.” She touched his lean abs, trailing her palms up
to his chest. “Have I ever told you I love your tattoo?” She traced the anchor with her finger.

Javier unzipped her skirt, and the fabric fell to the floor. He started unbuttoning each button on her shirt, opened
it, and then threw it over the computer chair. She was standing there in her pink and white, lace underwear. Jazmine helped him take off his jeans, and his dick stood at attention, peeking out through the opening in his boxers, he finally took those off, too.

“Do you know how beautiful you are?” Javier
led her backward to his twin bed. Jazmine slowly slid her panties down her legs and stepped out of them.

“No, I don’t
.” She took off her bra, climbing on the bed; she took his hands. “Show me…”

“It will be my pleasure
.” He followed her onto the bed. They both rested on their knees, and he took some strands from her hair in-between his fingers. “Mi amor, te amo.” He pulled her forward and began to kiss her cheek, nose, and then her lips.

“Te a
… mo, too,” she said against his lips. Jazmine nibbled at his chin. “Mmm… I need you inside me, now.”

Javier
laid her down and settled in-between her legs, he held himself up with his hands. He bent down, capturing her left breast in his mouth. He sucked on her tit like he was deprived. Jazmine moaned through her teeth, trying to control her need to scream. He switched to the right one and gave it the same amount of attention, while pinching the left one. Jazmine could feel her essence flow.

Javier released her breast,
nibbling in-between them, leaving wet kisses. He opened her legs wider, but Jazmine pulled him up. “I need you inside me, now.”

He smiled. “Yes
, love.” He aligned his cock with her core, and then gently thrust in. Javier’s nine-inch cock was buried deep into her, but he didn’t move. Every time they made love he did the same thing. “Baby…” he grunted.

Jazmine started moving her hips up, down
, and around. He put his left hand in her hair and gently tugged her forward. His tongue gave her mouth the same strokes his cock was giving her core.

His tongue worked its magic. Jazmine made her muscles clutch his cock, her
kegel exercises were paying off. Making love to Javier was always special and different, it felt like the first time—the excitement, desire, pleasure—after being with him, no other man would ever do.

Javier broke the kiss, trying to catch his breath. They gazed at each other
, his mouth agape. “You drive me crazy…” He gave her long, slow thrust.

Jazmine
’s hands grabbed his ass, making him go deeper, never breaking their eye connection. “Oh God, yes … right there…”

Javier
’s strokes became faster, his ass muscle tensing. “Jazz, cum for me…”

She rolled her hips to his rhythm, trying to
be as quiet as possible. Her pussy started to contract around his rod, and her legs started to tremble. She could feel her nose flaring. Javier’s eyes never left hers, but she couldn’t keep them open any longer. She closed her lids and opened her mouth. Javier’s hand covered her lips, stopping her loud moan. Jazmine swore she saw,
the light
, as her body shook into ecstasy. Her body was still being rocked into unbeatable pleasure.

She opened her eyes, and he was still gazing at her. “Girl
, you have my heart under lock and key.”

Javier’s thrust
s became faster and harder, and she could feel another orgasm coming on. He plunged into her one more time, and she climaxed again, making him bite down on her collarbone as he came deep in her pussy with a soft groan.

He dropped on top of her
. “You’re going to kill me.” He rolled off of her.

She laughed. “I think it’s the other way around.”

He touched her aroused nipple, and began circling it. All of a sudden, his hands lay on her chest. Jazmine looked up, and his eyes were closed, and she smiled. “I made you tap out, again.”

“No
, you didn’t.” Javier wrapped his arms around her waist, and then went to sleep.
