CHAPTER FOUR

I felt a hand go over my mouth.  I opened my eyes. It was the man from the other night. He climbed on top of me. His fingers were inside of me. 

“No!” I screamed. “Please!”

“Isabella.” Javier shook me awake. “What happened?”

I sat there, sweat beading up on my forehead. I felt out of breath  

Javier gently took my hand. “It’s alright, mi amor. I’ll protect you.” 

He wrapped his arms around me. “Would you like to soak in a bath, my love?” 

“No.”

“Okay.” 

“Javier?” 

“Yes?” 

“Do you love me?” 

“Of course, I do.” 

“Make love to me.” 

 “But you said “ 

“Forget what I said, listen to what I’m saying now.” 

“Bella.”

 “Javier, I love you, and that man took what was yours. You are my husband. My body belongs to you. Please, I take what I said back. “ 

“Why are you so desperate for this.” 

“Because it hurts. Every time I close my eyes, I see him on top of me.” Tears ran down my cheek. 

“I know.” He held me.

“Please just do this for me.” 

“It won’t make you feel any better.”

“It has to make it better. I can’t think of anything else.”

“Are you sure you want to this. You don’t want to think about it.” 

“I already thought about it. I need this, Javier.” 

“Alright.” 

He kissed me gently; his hands caressed my body. His kisses moved to my neck and down to my chest. He removed my breast from my bra. He sucked and licked my nipple and then moved to the other breast. He continued down to my stomach and to my thighs. He opened my legs and kissed the insides of my thighs. He pulled my panties off and licked in between my legs. 

I moaned. 

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” I said. I have never felt anything like that before.” 

He continued to lick down there. My eyes rolled back; the feeling was euphoric. 

He stood up; I could see the bulge in his pants. He pulled his pants and underwear down. He stepped out them and walked to me. 

“Are you ready?” He asked. 

“Yes,” I said. 

He slowly pushed himself into me. My body welcomed him in. It felt so much different than the other guy. Although Javier is bigger than him, it doesn’t hurt as much. 

Javier rolled his hips slowly and penetrated deep. It felt like heaven. 

Just as we were about finished. The door crashed open.

“Papa!” Chino came in, “Hay dios mío lo siento.” He shielded his eyes. 

“What is it, son?” Javier asked. He covered us with the blanket.” 

“Tio Ricardo is here, con Carmen.” He said, looking away.

“Keep him downstairs.” Javier reached for his robe.

“Hello, Javier.” Carmen’s voice chimed as she walked into the room.

“What are you doing here, Carmen.” Javier pushed her out before she saw me. 

“Ricardo said he had some business to deal with something about Isabella Valéz.” 

“Isabella, who?” 

“The child he had with that woman before me. Turns out that old bitch is here too.”

“Hmm, I didn’t know that.” 

“Javier!” Ricardo said, coming down the hallway. 

My blood ran cold as I stopped in my tracks. 

“Why are you pushing us out of your room? Are you hiding something.” 

“Well, for one, it’s my room and my private space. And I have nothing to hide.” 

I grabbed my robe and put all my clothes in the closet, and ran into the bathroom. 

Carmen pushed past him into the bedroom. 

“Nice bedroom, Javi,” Carmen said. She flopped on the bed.

“Thanks.” 

Ricardo looked around the room. He looked down at the floor by the closet. “Who’s, are these? I didn’t know they bra’s this size. Did one of your prostitutes get a boob job.” 

I facepalmed, I must have dropped it.

“No, actually, she’s all-natural.” 

“So, what happened to your rule of not have sex with your women.’ 

“She was special. She’s a virgin, well was.” 

Ricardo laughed. 

I came out of the bathroom with a face mask and my robe on. 

“Bye, Javi! I’ll see you later.” I walked past Carmen and gave her a stank face. 

She rolled her eyes. 

As I walked past Don Ricardo, he caught my wrist. 

“Who are you?” 

“Maria Elizabeth Sanchez.” 

“And who are you to my brother?”

“Nothing.” 

“Does this belong to you?” 

“Yes.”

“Let me see them.” 

I looked back at Javier.

“Why do you look back at my brother if you are nothing to him?”

“I may be nothing to him, but I am his property. My body belongs to him solely, with all due respect, Don Ricardo.” 

Don Ricardo slapped me, getting some of the mask on his hand, “Listen here, prostitute do as I say and show me your breast.”

“I am not your prostitute. You didn’t pay no money, no show. That’s how it goes. Even if you’re the high and mighty Ricardo.” 

“Javier, you should teach you prostitutes to be more respectful than that.”

“Well, she’s not a prostitute, she’s my wife.” 

“Wife?” Carmen stood up. “Javi, what about me?” 

“What about you?” Javier said. “Bella, go get dressed, mi amor.” 

I grabbed some clothes closet and went to the bathroom and wiped the mask off. I walked out. 

“Isabella?” Don Ricardo said. “This is your wife. My daughter.”

“Yes.” 

“Are you out of your mind?” 

“No, I am perfectly sane, as for you, I’m unsure, you spent years trying to kill my wife for no absolute reason.” 

“She’s an abomination to our state. She and her sister must be removed permanently. They will not get the government benefit because they are the kids of the governor.” Carmen said. 

“An abomination. I was born before you married my father, and as for my sister, she was born a year after you birthed Chino. Don’t pull that shit. I don’t want any government benefits. I don’t need your stupid money.” 

“Chino, is your son?” Ricardo said. 

“Oh, like you didn’t know. You always seem to know everything.” Carmen said.

“Well, how the hell did this happen?” 

“Can you continue your marital dispute somewhere else? Like outside of my house on your way back to Mexico.” Javier said. 

 “We aren’t going back; we are staying in Texas.?” Cameron said. 

“Well, welcome to America, now get the hell out of my house,” Javier yelled. 

“Are you really kicking us out? Javi?” Cameron pleaded.

“Find yourself a nice hotel and leave us alone. End of discussion.”  

They walked out. 

“Why do they always have to ruin everything?” I said. 

“It’s just something they do. But now they are gone now we can continue where we left off. I believe you were about to reach that climax.” 

“I don’t know, I don’t think I’m in the mood right now.” 

“I can you into the mood.” Javier grabbed my butt and kissed my neck. 

“Oh, really. I’d like to see you try.” I smile. 

He pushes me gently on the bed.
