Chapter 8

Within the following weeks, Vince went to his therapy and Mary went with him. They both supported each other which also meant that Vince did everything in his power to not make her angry and withheld her from doing anything that make her feel too emotional. To his word, he moved in with Mary and held her as close to him as much as he could at night. He was afraid that he couldn't protect her and at the same time afraid of losing her. After the first week, Vince went with her to get her stitches out and was very protective when she moaned from the slight tugging. However, Mary repeatedly told him, she was fine and told him to take it easy.

Back at home, he made her relax on the couch, but she turned the attention on him and made him do his arm exercises. She made him do it every morning and evening after dinner. He would sit at the table and stretch out his wounded arm and move it in circular rotations. His stitches were still in, only because he wouldn't allow himself to heal. By the end of the second week, Mary finally had to put her foot down and told Vince to stop worrying so much and to allow himself to heal. She told him that if he didn't, she would kick him out and send him back to his home with Mia and Leon. Vince gave in and did what she said. His rewards were small sessions of kissing. Mary smiled and let him touch her as much as he wanted. She was careful with him but always stopped him when it got too heated because he was still healing and didn't want him to do any excessive exercise.

Frustrated and horny, Vince waited until his next therapy visit to talk with his doctor. And he did; the moment Mary stepped out to use the bathroom. He asked his doctor when it would be good to have sex again. The doctor smirked and knew Mary well enough that she would be blushing hard if she would be in the room at that very moment. He answered Vince's question by giving him the green light once therapy was over.

When Mary began work again, Vince still had a week before therapy was done. That meant Leon accompanied him. It didn't take long before Leon found a woman of his own working at the hospital, the same floor Mary worked on. After therapy was finally done, Mary still made Vince do his exercises after dinner.

A good three months after their surgeries, Vince was at the table reluctantly doing his arm exercises, while Mary was on the phone in the kitchen. He listened to her speak Spanish with her mother and found it very arousing. He stopped long enough that she didn't notice and he was just watching her mouth. It wasn't until he heard her go silent that he blinked and saw her hanging up the portable phone. He got up from the chair with more ease as before and carried his empty cup to the sink. He had gone three months without beer and it was killing him to have one. He did his dry-spell for Mary, which meant a lot. Clearing his throat, he set his empty cup in the sink and made sure to kiss Mary's shoulder as she was putting their leftovers away.

Mary looked over to him and grinned. She went back to putting lids on the tupperware. "Vince?" She looked over to him and he was walking to refrigerator to get a water bottle.

"What is it, baby?" He looked over to her.

She handed him the tupperware once he got his bottle. "Do you think, Mia, Leon and yourself would like to go to my family dinner this Sunday?" She asked him as it would be the first time, her family would see them since the surgery. Her mother tried to come over and stay but Mary insisted that she was fine and that she had plenty of help.

Vince thought about her parents and the first time they met. He didn't want to see them and have her dad and her brothers questioning him. Except, he nodded for her, he was wrapped around her finger. "Yeah, I'll let them know." He smiled.

Mary smiled back and gently kissed him before going to the sink to wash the dishes. Within seconds, she felt Vince against her back and his warm breath on her neck. She bit her lip and did her best to hold herself together. But the moment, his tongue touched her skin, she was melting. She tried nudge him away. "Stop, you know I can't finish if you keep kissing my neck." She giggled softly as she concentrated on washing their few dishes.

"I can't help it," He replied as he went to kiss the other side of her neck.

She knew he wouldn't stop. So she paused and turned to face him. Cupping his face, she kissed him on the lips and grinned. "Let me just finish and you can continue."

Vince grunted and knew that line too well. "That's what you said last time and then you remembered we couldn't finish."

She giggled and caressed his cheek. "That's because you were still healing and I wanted to be sure the doctor gave you the go."

"well the doctor gave me the okay." He winked.

Blushing, she smirked and tried to get him to change his mind. "But you still need to take it easy and do your exercises."

He wrapped his arms around her and grinned. He rested his forehead against hers and smirked. "But...it's getting boring now. I can think of something better as for my work out." he licked his lips and then kissed her.

Mary kissed him back and knew there were no other way. She was scared of hurting him but since he was confident on going through with it, she would give it a shot. Vince kissed her again urgently and with passion. He pulled her away from the sink and took her to the living room and sat down on the couch. Sitting her on his lap, he continued to kiss her passionately as he wanted her to just focus on him.

Mary moaned and began kissing him back and wrapped her arms around his neck. She felt him rubbing her back and his hands roam down to her thighs. Pulling away for air, they looked into each others' eyes. Vince reached up and brushed her dark hair away from her face. He was crazy about her and knew no one would ever take her from him. Licking his lips and gently pressed his lips against hers while his hands slipped down her arms, to her sides and stopped at the hem of her t-shirt. His fingertips slipped inside and touched her warm skin.

Feeling his touch both aroused her and made her a little nervous. She was scared that he wouldn't like her scar, but that thought disappeared because he saw it every night in bed. Her hands grabbed his tank and worked it up his body. It didn't take long before Vince lost his shirt and Mary was left in her bra. Vince spread his kisses down her neck and placed soft ones over her scar. He made sure to put attention on that since it was fragile. Glancing up to her eyes, he whispered, "my beautiful Mariana."

Mary softly smiled and ran her hands through his hair before she dipped her head down and pressed her lips against his. Their passionate kisses became urgent while their hands rushed to get the rest of their clothes off. Moving off him, Mary took off her underwear and stood fully naked in front of him. And, with his guidance, she made it back on his lap, only this time straddled over. Her warmth aroused his member as it grew and grew harder.

Unable to take it anymore, Vince lifted her slightly over his engorged cock, and placed himself deep inside. His mouth found her nipple and played with it as he let her take control. Mary cupped his face as her tongue traced the inside of his mouth. Soft moans escaped her while she set a slow pace. Rotating her hips, she felt him rubbing inside her which increase both their pleasure.

Vince switched breasts while his arms wrapped around her back and held her tight. When the need to switch up the pace overcame them, Vince used his strength to move them on the couch. Laying Mary on it, he moved on top and loved it when she wrapped her legs around his waist. He gave her what she wanted it. He laid gentle kisses on her shoulders before latching his lips on her neck. He groaned by her ear and it caused Mary to moan louder.

Mary's hands roamed over his back and then griped his biceps gently when he moved deeper inside her. She bared her neck to him and naturally threw her head back as he pleasured without trying. The feeling of his throbbing member, made her tremble and instinctively made her move her hips with each thrust. Not wanting to cum just yet, Vince stopped to kiss her before he moved on leg over his shoulder. The workout he was getting was well worth it. He was feeling a slight burning but he didn't care.

Looking between them, Mary thought about his wounds and knew he shouldn't overwork himself. Stopping him, she pushed him off her until he was sitting again. She got up and moved to be on top, this time her back facing him. She sat on his cock and rode him the moment she was filled all the way.

Vince closed his eyes and groaned in pleasure. His hands held onto her hips as he slowly pushed against her movements. He brought her back even more until her back was against his chest. He turned her head slightly until they kissed. One arm wrapped around her while the other massaged her breasts and then slid down between her legs. His fingertips found the sensitive button and gently applied a circular motion.

Instantly, Mary jolted but then moaned in his kiss. She continued to rock her hips until he stopped her and moved them. She was kneeling sideways on the couch when Vince got her to lean her head on the arm of the couch. Positioned behind her, he pushed her legs a little more apart as he set the pace from behind. Their skin made contact, their moans of pleasure mixed and their temperature raised.

Mary slammed against his thrust as she felt a good hard climax coming over. She looked over her shoulder and bit her lip. She saw his neck reddening and she reached over to take his hand. Feeling his chest press against her back, they continued to move as one until she gasped hard and held perfectly still. She felt Vince working her dripping pussy until she heard him groan deeply and slam into her one more time. They both were still as their bodies came and trembled by the force.

Riding out their orgasms, they slowly moved until they were facing each other. Mary caressed his cheek and kissed his lips. Vince kissed her back and then held her up. "Ready for our bath?" He asked her.

Mary giggled and nodded as she knew he loved having sex in the shower. "Be good, I might give you a naughty massage." She got up with him and they walked naked to the bathroom.

Sunday came and Mary brought Mia, Leon and Vince to her parents' house about an hour away from echo park. Mary wore a light yellow sundress with a little cardigan. Mia wore a similar dress as she held the macaroni salad that Mary had made. Within walking into the house, Mary was stopped by family members. She held Vince close to her and introduced them to him. Moving onto the back portion of the house, Mary heard her brothers call her and rush over to her."Mariana!"

Mary smiled and greeted her big brothers while an aunt of hers came over. "You are looking good, honey."

Mary grinned and hugged her aunt as she came over. "Thanks, Tia." They smiled and Mary noticed her aunt glancing over to Vince. Mary grinned and took Vince's hand in hers. "Tia, this is boyfriend my Vince and his friends Mia and Leon." She said as she introduced everyone to her family.

"Hello." Her aunt looked at Vince and thought was rough looking but handsome. She smiled politely.

"Hi." Vince shook hands with her and stayed close to Mary.

Mary saw her aunt lean closer to her and grinned when she heard her aunt whisper, "He's a looker...I thought your dad said you were dating a bear."

Mary glanced at Vince and smiled as Vince had trimmed his beard enough to see his jawline but he still had some facial hair. "He shaved Tia." She whispered back.

"Well if he looks like that now...I can just imagine." Her aunt winked at Mary before she walked away.

"Tia!?" Mary was blushing hard and Vince looked at her, wondering what they were talking about.

Just then, both Vince and Mary turned when they heard Mr. Ruiz call out his name. "Vince!" Mary's dad came over from the grill and shook hands with Vince. He kissed Mary's forehead and greeted Mia and Leon as well.

"Hello, Mr. Ruiz." Vince replied as kindly as he could but just wanted to leave already before he made the wrong move and embarrassed Mary.

Mr. Ruiz looked at them both and grinned. "You both recovered well." He said at Mary was smiling and he loved seeing her so happy. Vince was wearing a long sleeve shirt but he did look better than the last time, they saw each other.

"Thanks to Mary. She's really a wonderful person." Vince said as he looked over to Mary and grinned at her.

Mr. Ruiz nodded and looked at Vince respectively, "So are you, for taking care of her." He wrapped an arm around Vince and whisked him away from Mary. "What can I get you to drink?" Mary turned smiled and then took Mia and Leon over to a table to relax.

Vince glanced back and felt a little nervous. Clearing his throat, he answered him quick. "A coke would be fine." Shortly after, Mr. Ruiz began to make polite conversation with Vince and he answered. Leon went over and both men talked with Mary's dad and brothers about the garage that was still opened, even though Dom was no longer in the scene.

Before dinner could be ready, Mary came around and handed Vince another soda. "Thank you." He kissed her cheek and wrapped an arm around her. Mary nodded and kissed his lips quickly before leaning into his warmth. Vince leaned a little more into her and whispered into her ear. "You owe me a beer though." Mary looked at him and giggled. She nodded while Vince chuckled softly before returning his attention back to the Leon's conversation with Mary's oldest brother.
